11:01 am
we were into the red earlier before rising. interestingly, the group that has the most to do with this is biotech. a genetic rebound, not just today but over the course of the session. it did dip lower before rebounding in this earlier session after seven straight days of losses for the nasdaq index. selloff was set off by hillary clinton and her tweet about capping prescription drug prices. but it seemed to not end there. that was perhaps just the catalyst for the selloff that occurred with those shares. i want to take a step back and look at the s&p 500 over the past three months, the quarter ends tomorrow. the s&p is down more than 8%. chart, goingrterly back about 10 years.

11:24 am
rescue, which was fantastic. but at this point, why haven't they raised rates? the unintended consequence of keeping rates where they are could be far more catastrophic. it is time to pull the trigger. mark: he wants to help the treasury department. he wants the irs to help the treasury. how is this supposed to happen? stephanie: carl wants to help? he believes in a free market system. should dos everyone their business, but the fact that ceos are sitting there while sitting on piles of cash and not doing much. and whether you like carl or not, he has taught corporate america to be more accountable. don't think ceos are worried about activist stepping in, you are wrong. they are. he is not saying donald trump is

12:02 pm
let's get more insight on the cause of the volatility. .oining us is martin sass i want to talk to you about what our correspondent was just pointing out with regards to hillary clinton's tweet. what is the value of looking at the possibility of some ?egulation down the line margin: that may be. when you really look under the hood, away from the outliers like the crazy -- who raised -- when you look at it, drug pricing is actually increasing at a lesser rate
12:03 pm
overall. problem, it is a popular thing to attack, and it will probably continue, but i think we have a republican-controlled congress, and you have to get it through congress to regulate pricing, it is impossible that you will really attack drug pricing. outliers, yes. crazy pricing, yes. but when we look at the big picture and the large companies that will be impacted, i don't think there will be an impact. the market is overreacting to this. quarter, they took the index down 29% from the s&p and they took everything in the index down. and out of this carnage comes a fabulous opportunity, companies we know really well are buying illustration.
