the new face of vegas. we will kick it off with the world. two days, two bombings in southern russia. a few hundred miles from the site of the winter olympics which began in six weeks. the first bombing came yesterday at a train station in volgograd. this is a video. the time of the explosion, a suicide bomber with himself up near a metal detector. 17 people were killed, 45 were injured. investigators say the toll would have been higher if it had not been for barriers that kept the bomber from reaching a waiting area. the second bombing this morning during rush hour. a suicide mission in the same city on a trolleybus. at least 14 people were killed and 27 were injured. here is your geography lesson. volgograd used to be called stalingrad. it sits above the north

caucasus, one of the most war- torn territories of the last two decades, if not the last century. >> there has been an insurgency going on going back to the 1990's. this is the most recent manifestation of that conflict. by carrying out these attacks outside the north caucasus, the terrorists are trying to show that people anywhere across russia are vulnerable and that they can take advantage of the media spotlight that is going to be on the country because of the olympics to really show that this is not a local concern, this is something much broader and that they have a much wider reach. >> that is the second reason the location of these bombings is so important. the winter olympics in sochi begin in six weeks. sochi, a town on the black sea, is 400 miles southwest of volgograd.

the distance between new york and cleveland. moscow, we have a problem. many problems. >> one is the risk to russia in terms of its public relations and its economy. i think in that regard, the games have already been a massive failure. the other question is what about the safety of the visitors and the athletes? i think everybody is terribly worried about that. as you have been talking about, you have the north caucasus region, you have separatist groups, you also have bordering closer to sochi, georgia and the separatist region and the insurgents in abkhazia. this is vladimir putin's pet project. here he is meeting with dmitry medvedev this morning. he sent his top ministers to investigate, that has been his only response. >> is has been his immediate reaction. we saw that when he released

khodorkovsky, it was without any request, clearly due to his immediate embarrassment. >> he takes his international reputation seriously. he wants to be seen as a serious man a strong man. that is hard when things like this happen. >> what does putin do when it comes to sochi? >> they have plans for the olympics themselves. there will be about 30,000 police officers and troops stationed in and around sochi. but they are now going to have to look at the whole southern region and try to put in extra resources to prevent these attacks from taking place. experts are fairly confident that the games themselves will be secure because there are such stringent security measures in place. the problem is that extremists

will try to stage attacks outside the security zone. >> a reminder that this is the most expensive winter olympics in history. more than $60 billion invested in these games. what if investors and sponsors start getting cold feet? >> there is a lot of investment in these games, not just the $60 billion that putin and his oligarch buddies have invested. there is investment from companies and corporations. i think people will wait until the last moment to pull out. >> the security at the actual games at sochi will be tight. difficult for anyone to get in and out of the city starting in january, before the games begin. does that mean insurgents would try to disrupt the olympics by

turning to softer targets elsewhere, perhaps close by to the games in a symbolic gesture? >> that is something to be concerned about. the russians have invested a lot of effort and a lot of procedure in seeing that the games go off successfully. part of that means securing sochi to the extent possible. there will be a massive security presence there. it will be a difficult target for insurgents. russia is a large country. you cannot lock down everything at once. it is likely that you are going to see an uptick in attacks in places like volgograd, moscow, elsewhere around the country as the insurgents try to get their message out. even though the games themselves is going to be too hard. >> what more can putin do? >> that is a tough question. this is an insurgency that has been simmering now for 20 years. they have managed to tamp it

down in chechnya that have caused it to expand outward. it has infected the north caucasus as a whole. there are socioeconomic problems, ethnic tensions. most of the ethnic russian population has left. there is growing ethnic strife within russia between status of the north caucasus and ethnic russians. there is not a simple solution, >> deep-seated problems, sochi is at the same attitude as nice in france. warm summers, mild winters. what was the rationale for hosting the games in sochi? >> putin has a dacha in sochi. he thinks it could be a year- round resort. they have high mountains 15 miles from sochi. he found an opportunity to turn

sochi into a resort. not many people believed this was a good idea, including some of his oligarch buddies who have been making the investment to build up the ski area. they are calling for subsidies from the government and asking the government to buy them out. it is a very large question mark. they stored up enough snow under thermal blankets so if it does not snow at the time of the x they will be able to use artificial snow. only time will tell what happens. i do think that a $60 billion investment for this is something that has already not paid off and has only brought bad pr and bad publicity for the area as a touristy venue.

there has been a lot of corruption -- a lot of pollution in the black sea. local residents are complaining they cannot swim anymore. >> are investocern yet to russia's index is up after attas. ocks are a big story in the u.s. as well. what are the pundits forecasting for 2014? we will have the answers to that. later on "lunch money," something chewing up the earth under manhattan. the best of big machines and 2013 is calming up. before we had to break, if you are heading to central america, you may want to stay away from el salvador. the country's chaparrastique volcano erupted, sending a column of gas and ash three miles into the sky.flights are canceled. drive or swim. ♪

fightin february. syria and iran in the short run have been defused. that was hanging over the market. with those three items neutralized and stronger data in the fourth quarter, i don't think anyone should be surprised at the big rally. >> you were predicting it. what are you predicting next year? >> 10% to 15% up. my look at fair market value -- >> in 2014? >> 10% to 15%. my feeling is is 18,000 is the fair market value. we are a lot closer than we were years ago when i made a prediction on that. certainly, in the short run, we could go up or down. >> making the right call is not the norm. the best part about watching forecasts from stock pickers is knowing how wrong they will eventually be. >> when you look back at what

was predicted for wall street, you have to laugh. you look at the stock pickers' forecast for the s&p 500 and then were the s&p is today. look at how far off they are. the immediate forecast was a miss of 17.5%. analysts said they did change their forecast as the year went on. this is as the year began. >> you did not believe kreskin anyway. you have to put faith in analytical forecasting. >> what about stock analysts who come up with earnings forecast? they did -- forecasts for three quarters ahead. this is what they thought earnings per share would average for the s&p 500, this is what it turned out to be. no better at forecasting the

future. do not necessarily take their advice about where it will end up. >> shortly be economists, the academics, surely they can get the forecasts right? >> economists are just as dumb in forecasting the future as a stock pickers. they were no better at picking the future then stock prognosticators. >> obviously not. even outgoing fed chairman ben bernanke poked fun at his peer'' inability to forecast. >> given the difficulties economists have in forecasting. [laughter] even the next few quarters, i will point out an advantage to making a 100 year forecast, i won't be around to explain why it was wrong.

our business up against, we have been growing so fast that trying to forecast the amount of demand we will have is also difficult. you are right we are back ordered on products in some cases up to a month. we are scaling rapidly and opening up new factories. we hope we get in front of the product that's the problem. >> you have done work in manufacturing for a while. you started setting out to make the world's greatest hoodie. what prompted you to do that? >> one of the interesting things about the apparel industry is that there is a dirty secret that the vast majority of what you are paying for when you buy clothes are things unrelated to the manufacturing process. i felt there was a real opportunity to eliminate those and build a great product and keep the price reasonable for great american-made clothes, which i think there was a lack

make. you will often see photos of weddings and the sleeve way -- sleeve length is wrong. that is not the bottom of your thumb and that is. it is where your thumb meets the rest area that is where you finish. look for suppression, closed that have some shake, so the shape should end up where you have suppression, hopefully, if you have not drunk too much year. know yourself and know your character. if you are a joke the guy and fun, you can wear a more colorful tie and fun thoughts. if you are classic, do not take risks. the one thing you can do is have a suit with a funny side. libby just little things you can still do. that is it.
