note. within one point of a record high. watch out. investors cheering that cyprus deal but then some commentary makes that deal details seem a little less good than we might have thought. we're talking about the great and powerful. not oz, the great and powerful godman. that company without with a slew of ratings today that are rocking perspective stocks. we will dig into those a little later. even if you are years away from retirement, there is a fellow here, speeding along, you might want to consider buying property in a retirement community. younger people, yes, younger people, are snapping up great deals in retirement communities. find out whether that real estate play might be right for you. >> all right. we're down triple digits right here. let's take a look at what's moving right now. the banks getting smacked big

time. you can see bank of america and citi all down. one of the biggest losers in terms of percentage moves was bank of america early on. and despite the move in dell which has been off quite a bit, the stock's highs today, pfizer, johnson & johnson and target were all on the list. that's not all. pfizer, verizon, and wall greens all hit highs. what the heck happened? >> a little of this was a sell on the news. moved up and quickly down at the open.

the dutch finance minister said something and everybody said what the heck does that mean. then also go to the ininsured dpos it holders. inserting a real problem. take a look at the italian banks that got hit very hard. we have to watch every bank that we're in and you can see some of the declines here. the euro hit a four-month low. they would be beneficiaries because our banks are in better position than many southern european banks. a lot of people go from southern to northern european to u.s. banks. in terms of the sectors, a little more on the defensive side. consumer staples down the least of some of the major groups. >> kenney, come on in and join

the group. bob mentioned the financials. what can happen in europe might eventually happen here in the united states. >> i don't suspect it really koul could happen but it gives investors an excuse to be cautious and take things off the table. we went right to the high and ran right into resistance. again, it gave people a chance to say let me take some money off the table and see where it goes. it's st end of the month. we will go into thursday with a little more to the upside but i don't think we're breaking any highs this week. >> if it really reflects european policy -- >> that's the big question. >> this is a victory for the moral hazard crowd. people claiming that endless bailouts are just wrong. but it introduces a whole new can f worms.

>> it doesn't put the issue to sleep. only continues to bring it to the surface. >> what do you bring to the markets today? >> i think the market will end lower. it will churn all day and end here. there is no sense of panic but no reason to go out and buy new. it will -- we are stuck in that 1535, no reason to move out of it. >> appreciate it very much. >> sue, thank you very much. cyprus clenching that last minute bail-out deal if you want to call it that. the architect said that god is in the details and those details may be a little more gnarly than originally anticipated. and here is michelle with the latest. >> hey, there. absolutely. when you heard the previous discussion, saying that this rewards the anti-moral hazard

crowd, that's exactly what this deal does. just like the markets are starting to deal with the situation, they are really reeling from the situation. protested all weekend because remember, this country went the other year peen countries and said can you please help us bailout our banks? europe this time said no. we're not going to bail out your banks. we're going to wipe out the equity and jr. bondholders. and by the way, the uninsured will pay as well. some people think that's a victory but now you see what happens to the italian banks. you have got make a closer inspection of where you're going to put your money. bank emmoies realize that many of them are going to lose their jobs. >> i have worked 23 years in the bank. i make my savings. i was planning and i have my

plan for all of this and i wanted a better future for my children and i sent them to the uk for the quality of education there for a better future and maybe the chance to work. how is this criminal? to have dreams for my children and family and working hard every day. >> now in the meantime, the banks are still closed and there are reports that the two sick banks which should have been able to re-open tomorrow because the emp cb said they would provide liquidity says that they may not open until at least thursday. that would be 12 days with the major banks closed. people are going to the super markets. there may be a food shortage.

why was this woman buying so much? she was from russia and she has seen this movie before and she fears shortages. >> you're originally from russia? >> yes, exactly. i have lived through this. uncertainties and yes, i'm worried. >> is that why you think you're doing this today? because you have seen this before? >> yes. i have seen how it develops and how quickly and badly it can develop. >> so the president of this country is supposed to appear any moment. he's usually late and might be worse because there is a meeting to try to figure out whether or not they can re-open tomorrow or thursday. the population is not going to take it much longer without being able to get cash.

we spent a good time of the day trying to get money. it was exceptionally difficult. >> thank you very much. crisis averted? or maybe really not. we will find out. there is still plenty of uncertainty and turmoil. should your investment strategy change? let's bring in michael. how has the situation in cyprus and now the possibility that depositors in other countries if those banks go into real trouble they may be tapped as well. how is that affecting your investment strategy? >> i think it's very, very interesting. if you're in europe are you feeling optimistic? you're not. if you're in japan? no. even if you're in china, you're

concerned about growth rate. what it does is the risk on trade is still there. but it's the more conservative risk on trade which meebs i think it will drive trades higher. if you're in spain or italy or cyprus our greece that you will have much confidence in europe at this point and that's why you will start to see flows in the united states. >> it's about money flows. you think the money will be expatriates from europe and other places and come into u.s. stocks? >> i do. what the united states is offer something a more stable environment. yes, of course, it's sluggish growth. and it also offers something call dividend. if you have bank deposits that will now be uninsured, where can you put your money? in the united states we have limits as well in terms of how much federal insurance we cover deposits. but if you put your assets in a company stock that has a solid

balance sheet. yes, you will get flexuation but the dividend is a nice alternative rather than waking up and the government telling you that you lose 30% of your money. >> that woultd be a bad wake up call. so, now, check out the yahoo! finance question of the day. how are you positioning the international holdings in your portfolio? we'll bring you the results later in the show. let's go to josh with the market flash. >> check out thetanking now. the analysts saying that they are gaining on check point. conversations indicate a marketed increase in share losses in the past several months. sue, back to you. >> thank you very much. it's risk off today.

colonel policies and the tariffs of the 1930s. large policies are designed to enhance domestic demand. these policies are not beg thy neighbor but enrich thy neighbor. says those nations benefit from growth in developed nations. >> he is saying i am not worried about policies of japan which have had an ifect. >> steve, thank you very much. >> sue, down to you. >> thank you. for investors trying to play a rise in interest rates, there is

a focus on a tiny corner. of the income market called the floating rate debt. and how your money could be impacted. >> they are flocking to this so-called floating rate. investors poured $1.4 billions into these funds. companies are issuing near record levels of this floating rate debt to meet the demand and investors are asking for it. so let's say a company issues a billion dollar bond. that's on top of a three-month libor which is 29 basis points. that is above 1%.

investors will get bigger returns. investors must take a discounted yield up. so if rates don't go up, they are stuck with an under performing investment. investors will lose if rates don't go up but it's more likely that the companies will lose. the quicker that happens, the higher the borrowing cost of things like that. all of which have been bowing to investor demands. >> if this is going get more and more expensive, why are they doing it at this particular

point? >> you're seeing these aaa rated companies doing it. this is a new trend and it's because investors are asking for it. i'm not getting enough out of it. so you need to give me something that will eventually rise in cost. who doesn't believe that interest rates will go occupy. sue? >> thank you so much. john? >> to be every everywhere 4.5%. here is a statement that i have got from ebay. however, we do leverage a few cloud technology including open stack so that we can architect or infrastructure. what is interest something a system integrator today released

>> thank you. to bob now. >> just off the lows. >> down by 80 now. i think the point that you were talking about, everybody wonders what happens in cyprus, does it spread to the european banks? >> when the dutch finance minister put it out, he said that cyprus was a template for europe, that implies in a bank needs to recapitalize, you go first to the bondholders and shareholders and then to your uninsured deposit holders. it's thrown a lot of people for a loop. as i have been menging, the italian bankss have been hit pretty hard. you would think that u.s. bank

would be helped by this. but they are all still down. i don't consider this a big move. but we're up about 5% on that group. a lot of technical talk. this is a two-day. an youds reversal occurs when you open above a high and close below it. so 1545 is where we were on friday we saw a little bit of selling accelerate. >> let's bring ken any into the conversation. one of the things that we have not mentioned is that it's a holiday shortened week and there are religious holidays occurring. the volatility ticks up as well. >> it could. like you said, below 20 is not

anything to get worried about. that's why i think we are stuck in this range. unless over the last couple of days you get stellar u.s. macro data, which we could get. it could certainly put pressure on the marketplace. i don't see it happening. >> i know a lot of people poo poo what the rating agencies do. we may see them make moves on other countries. >> this will increase credit costs, for sure. i'm sure that will play into the re-evaluation. >> we may hear knit the next day or two. after all of this and certainly because the door is still wide open there is there is so much uncertainty is they will say you

commission. and another deal hurt consumers calling the pay for delay deal anti-competitive. the justices expressed concerned about the settlements but also questioned the case. of those that went to trial, the generic firms prevailed in less than half of them. 48% of cases. >> we only win 48% of the time if we take it to the conclusion of the case. if we settle, the consumer wins 76% of the time. that's a win win.

>> before today, it was said that the settlement brings these drugs five years before the patent expired. >> thank you very much. what does all of this mean for generic drug makers and for big far ma today? >> this will allow a generic form to be sold in may of 2016. a 2016 launch was widely expected by the street. other generic drug makers are expected. profits could be exceedingly low. a couple of bullish sell sides.
