>> listen, if you were worried about bernanke and yelling, then you don't mind some slightly softer economic data. other traders say we're up but on pretty light volume. in terms of sector performance, let's start off with financials. a lot are hitting new 52 week highs.

the mid american energy buying, mv energy for $5.6 billion. >> it can be all yours for about 1600 times earnings. also the s&p, wpo washington post pays out the most of $9.80. >> we are most grateful to you for playing along in our fun game today. >> the most unemployed people on jobless claims in france, the most .2%, at least i'm the most

curious as to how everybody else does. >> the most people are often wrong. i hope they're not. but i can't see how we're going to get back from the moon to the earth. >> is this the most confusing stock market of all time? think about it. what rick just talked about. china slow down and still too high unemployment there.

the market keeps going up. >> jim paulson, chief investment officer and wells capital management. >> they are left at a default. it must just be a sugar high. this has less to do with the speed of growth than it does with the fact that's the flip side of 2008.

i would argue that what has been happening since last year into this year is we are finally giving up the armageddon ghost. people are starting to believe that this is a sustainable recovery. we're now giving up the armageddon ghost. you see a rise in multiples as confidence about sustainability is running through. >> do you think jim is our most rational guest? >> i'm not going agree with all of it.

we have seen that market movement through the flows. we have had tremendous fund flows. an enormous rotation. that has been a huge positive. the fundamentals are not necessarily that great and valuations have gotten ahead of themselves. i do think the market is definitely focusing on the fed. i think if you care about the fed then you care about what the fed is going to do then you need to watch everything generally. there is not a lot of potential great news that is going to come over the summer. if the markets -- if the equity is hot -- >> if the news starts to get worse, look at that. if we get soft data, doesn't

that mean the fed will be in there for longer? >> absolutely. and i think the fed is going to err on the side of caution. they're not going to take away the feeding trough. however, what you said is exactly the co-none drum. >> how are you feeling? >> back in 2008, it was the end of the world but they were lock. you look at the correlation between bank stocks and

confidence. bank of america at great highs. the question to me is how overconfident have the money management industry and people who have wealth become. look at the skyscrapers going up in manhattan. art and wine sales. >> when this show went positive, people called us the most stupid tv show ever. history is littered with people who have bet against the u.s. consumer. you're going to be wrong in the long term almost all the time. >> my concern about that is what call lob is telling us.

>> it peaked last fall. you're seeing it in mortgage applications, too. >> i think we are at -- i speak, i think, for a lot of people like me who are at a certain stage of life and we have our retirement accounts and i think we are at the most important inflection point we have seen in years. trying to figure out who do we listen to. i still do believe that some of the armageddon folks are around and they think what could happen would be what should have happened in 2008. so i have got to sit here. i have been pushed by the fed to take risk. i took risk.

i cannot own the individual stocks. i have got to say what the heck do i do? i'm thinking do i use that cash? am i going to be using it? is it going to be a falling knife that i will be catching? i think we're at a great point especially for folks like me trying to figure it out. >> can you give your most best advice? >> was that a question? >> you know, let me respond a little bit to that. i think one of the things we haven't brought up is important here. it's not just the equity market which is showing dramatic improvement in confidence. you are seeing confidence run right through the gold market in the price of gold. you're seeing it run through junk bond market in the tightest young bond yield spreads.

my point is, this is not just an equity market phenomenon. this is an investment culture phenomenon that has been told year after year the world is going to end. you have got to go on with your life and that's what they are doing. companies are going on. consumers are going on and investors are going on. >> i think we can say this, right? if this -- if this is pulled off, if we come out of this softly or with light gains or mild drops, whatever it is, this will be the most impressive financial experiment in the history of the world. >> it would certainly be the most impressive scenario we could ever imagine. >> is it the most unrealistic. >> as i said earlier, i think bernanke has to err on the side of caution and that means he will probably keep the pump going for longer.

>> but what's when he pulls his fingers out of the dike? >> when you get bubbles and phenomenon, exiting can be very messy. >> thank you very much. you're going to stick around. don't go anywhere. >> what is the most overrated stock so far this year. we're going to debate. >> and we each have a pick for the most surprising stock of the year. think fast cars and teapots. >> all hour long we're going to count down the most popular videos on youtube. here is rihanna's video for "stay." what will be the number one video? you have got to stay tuned to the most impressive 2:00 p.m. eastern hour on cnbc.

quit selling the mur chas dice. all of that went the right way. could they have made that a lot more? they could have. if none of those things have gotten done, right there on the bottom coming up and people are starting to say they can make money at the back end of this year or in 2014. it looks like it can happen. we will see the stock run from here. it's not back to 20 yet. it's got a long way to run if it starts to work. i think it will start to work. >> what's going to happen for brian to win his pet with this? >> almost 0. they're going to have 10% times. >> by the way, we don't make money.

that was two quarters ago. i'm winning clearly 31% and down 16%. i think. >> i should point out, i believe in the last three weeks, penny has done positive comps and i believe it's hurting bon ton and i believe it's hurting stage stores, and i believe it's hurting belk's and other people in that sector and i think we're seeing positive comps over this past weekend. >> despite their rather unfortunatelily designed teapots -- >> you know, that's a big joke. >> i think that actually helps -- i mean, no publicity is bad publicity. >> i think a teapot designed to look like the worst man in the history of the world is probably a bad thing. >> it sold out. >> absolutely, it sold out. >> fair point. >> and with sears doing so poorly now, having at one point, gaining from jcpenney, what did

people go over to sears because they didn't like jcpenney, went to sears and said, hmm, which do i want? which is the worst -- >> hobson's choice. >> they went back to jcpenney's. >> but now penney's is one of the prettiest stores in the mall. >> do they have the money -- i've seen parts of the mock-ups, they look great. do they have the money or the credit to build out the remainder of their hundreds of stores? >> they have 1,100 stores. they've done 690, and that's all they intended to do. and they'll be done june 6th, ie, next week. >> and in making these stores so pretty and going after a younger, hipper audience, as well, are they going to also still alienate the customer that disappeared from them? how are they going to get them back? >> they're going to get them back by doing exactly what i saw in the store two days ago, they brought back st. john's bay, which is the biggest selling private label in the store, outside of liz claiborne, and it

was in fact designed for the woman who generally shops at penny's. it's a missy customer, not an affluent customer, and they threw her out of the store because they got rid of st. john's bay. it's back. it's a billion-dollar business. it's one of the reasons why you're going to lose your bet. >> i'm confident. >> let him have the last word, come on. let him finish on that note. thank you very much to you, jan. as for my surprising stock, there have been some pretty amazing stock stories this year. it was actually quite hard to pick. but there is one that really sticks out in my book. and that is tesla. we've talked a lot about it, and if you take a look at the score card here, it has scored over 170% in the last two months, after it came out with its first profit ever. this is a company, guys, that only a few years ago, it needed $500 million to build an electric car factory, it was going through layoffs, canceled orders and had record losses until the department of energy stepped in and now it is dotting the entire country with superchargers. let's bring in phil lebeau.

really, this is your beat. you've been covering tesla from the start, phil. and even though it has been soaring overall this year, it's had some pretty wild swings as well, hasn't it? >> huge swings. if you're looking for a very volatile stock right now, check out tesla. in fact, go back to may 1st, and just since may 1st, they have had nine trading days where they have been up or down an average of 9%. think about that! this stock is all over the place. this morning, it was way down, jumped up dramatically early in the day, and now it's pulled back a little bit. and just a few minutes ago, ceo elon musk was on the air, or on a conference call, talking about the expansion of the supercharger network. so, this, in many ways, has become sort of a day trading stock that a lot of people are jumping in and jumping out of. but overall, the enthusiastic that's out there on wall street for what tesla is offering has never been higher. >> do you think it's justified? i mean, some people are saying this is overvalued, it's overrated, it's going to fall, a lot of short interest still.

do you think this is all justified? >> i think the enthusiastic for what tesla is building is justified. as far as the stock price? it's too hard for me to make a call as to whether or not it's overvalued or not. but it's a fair argument from those out there who are saying it's gone too far, too fast. on the other hand, i understand those people who are enthusiastic about what elon musk is building. >> and where i've been wrong, phil, by the way, it's the most beautiful car on the road, i think. it really is just a stunning looking car. you looked pretty good driving one when i randomly passed you on the turnpike, by the way. are we underestimating tesla is just a car company, or does it have technology that it may be able to license out, right, that make -- herb's groaning over here -- to become almost like an intellectual property company that also just happens to make cars on the side? >> think about this, brian. just a few minutes ago, elon musk talking about the expansion of the supercharger network. eventually, these supercharging stations, which will be solar powered, and remember, solar city is his other company, but if you take a look at these

solar-powered supercharging stations, they will have banks where they can store electricity and that even if there is a national blackout, they won't be affected. they can still provide power. think about that. >> and i believe elon musk, who, by the way, is on "squawk on the street" tomorrow morning, guys, i believe he's taking his family across the nation, using that super-charging network later on this year. maybe you will too if you get your hands on one of those teslas you've been drooling over. phil lebeau, thank you very much. elon musk, tomorrow morning, "squawk on the street." make it a date. >> next up, we are prancing our way to the end of this special edition of "street signs" with the most amazing, the most spectacular, the most stupendous, the most -- >> just most. >> you've got to see this new exercise wave. and you will, if you stick around.
