>> with. >> we salute our veterans today. the dow jones industrial average hit an all time high, a gin of 21 points. the nasdaq up. the s&p 500 just a half a point away from an all time high as well at 1771. thanks so much for joining me. i will see you tomorrow same place same time in d.c. stay with cnbc. "fast money" begins right now. >> live from the nasdaq in new york city's time square, this is fast money, america's post market show. here is tonight's line up. left for dead retail. is it time to take a fly? we're looking for signs of life in the most out of vogue stocks. forget the supply worries and fiery headlines, now george clooney is taking aim saying the car is not practical.

$130 billion worth of advice. the head of the pension fund joins us on how he got out before latin america's biggest bankruptcy. we have got get straight to our top story tonight and that is overstretched. we have talked a lot about bubbles and now it's starting to hit the mainstream. stocks regain broad appeal. here below the fold. funds trim their hedge. now that all of the bubble concerns are hitting the mainstream, should we be more concerned that maybe now the time has come for the bubble to top? tim? i think the valuation run. we are not terribly bubblishes. but when you look at where we

have gone and where we come from, you need to be concerned. it tells you one that they will be losing their stock. >> i think we have to -- i have to agree with tim. i also think we have to put it in context. it's not as though mom and pop were investing at normal levels for years and all of the sudden got crazy euphoric. and had removed something like 300 billion net out of stock funds. i was much more comfortable being bullish when people hated stocks.

people were positive on stocks throughout the entire 90s. just because we're seeing what you pointed out it doesn't mean that mom and pop love stocks, blow everything out. it's just something to be aware of. >> you look at the performance and all of them across the board hit new highs. >> it makes sense. it seems to be finally catching up and that could sort of be the last straw and the last inning of this round. i don't think that necessarily is the case. i think there is still some great secular stories. but mastercard and visa we have talked about forever. valuations don't seem to be stretched. in terms of where do i think there might be a bubble, i don't think that valuation is a bubble. but people have been buying bioteches for the last year and a half, two years. the stocks have been on fire. a lot of these people have never seen a biotech blow up because we really haven't had one. that concerns me a little bit

specifically. >> karen, parts of the market that you ear w're worried about. i don't know that this time is any different. we go into a position we try to stick to those. >> you guys both think that consumer staples might be in trouble. and they are, i mean, they are on the upper end of the spectrum. >> to me, it's companies that can't reinvent the business. consumer staples are not historically sexy businesses. i like it. i like pepsi. those are places where i think you're in pretty good shape.

you're definitely exceeding the multiple expansion. this is double that expansion. so you're in a place dps, that's a sell. places that i like, i like being in the global places where they actually have growth in a new consumer segment. >> if i'm at home thinking there's going to be a bubble that will eventually pop, i would think that i would want to be in consumer staples as a safety play. >> the ultimate irony is that all of these etfs come out to exploit the low volatility anomaly. you get things like utilities and consumer staples. the problem is they are piling into that trade precisely when these stocks have almost never been more expensive there is

room for. >> when they miss they miss hard. look at some of these bellwethers. p & g got its butt kicked. >> speaking of being wary, retail earnings kick off on wednesday and our next guest says that fall could be a rough season for the retailers. great to have you with us. this is one of the stocks that seems to be turning around. the stock has seen a nice pop. all clear for jcp? >> i don't think it's the all clear but i do think that the stock will continue to perform through year end.

>> how can we be looking at comps when this has been about balance sheet and survival? forget comps. it might be a very exciting play because it's a speculative call. >> after the equity raise, i think that gave them enough liquidity through year end and most of next year. i think they are out of the woods. in this environment it's pretty impressive if they can. >> what about gross margin? it's not just sales. they can promote their way into sales without -- that gross margin is terrible. >> and i think they are. i think they're going to continue to promote their way into sales. they are telling a story that

it's okay. we are just driving for sales. the key thing they were doing is get people back in the door and then they would try to re-establish some sort of gross margin that makes sense. i think you're right. that's the next needle that needs to move. >> kohl's is up 34% year to date. one of your counter parts upgraded the stock saying you know what? now they are focusing on national brands and that bodes well for kohl's. are you bullish? where are they getting the market share from? >> i don't think they are gaining market share. i am actually a little bit cautious. they have been pretty clear that their guidance is conservative. but i think that the national brand strategy seems to be the right strategy.

>> abercrombie & fitch has been a disaster. any saving grace for it? >> i think what they outlined at their analyst meeting was pretty abysmal. they are struggling to figure out what the dna of their customer is and they are moving in the opposite direction of fast fashion. they say let's slow our fashion down. it doesn't make a lot of sense. >> you should ask her about chess king. >> i bet she knows about chess king. >> i bet she does. >> it sounds like you are pretty cautious in a lot of the retailers. the fashion trends have fot been strong because the colors are muted and mall traffic is weak. >> i think you want to go in the direction of global luxury and accessories. ralph lauren, coach, anything that has some sort of global

story and really a luxury angle is a better place to be. i don't expect any of these companies to do terribly well through the back half. they are buying other things. >> thanks for coming by. appreciate it. you like that global luxury angle? >> i do. i sort of agree with it. coach is bruised and beaten up. it is a real name. >> i actually hate coach and because i don't see it as a luxury brand when everybody has got one and their growth is coming from a place like china. all of their key creative parts, they are making major transition, i don't think they can do that overnight. >> the problem with stocks like abercrombie, they look cheap on the surface but the consumer is not interested in what they have to sell. the teens don't want to wear

logos. they would rather walk into h & m and buy something for $14 that abercrombie would sell for $49. >> man on the streets. josh brown. >> gee lew joins us now to break down the numbers. julia? >> that's right. revenue is down 3%. adjusted earnings fell to half of where they were last year, three cents per share. the main message seems to be that revenue faces challenges but they are getting their costs under control. he is very confident that the new news which recently spun off from the rest of fox's entertainments assets has

advantages. he did acknowledge head winds but the bot to tot line is this company is challenged. circulation revenue down 6%. not small stuff. back over to you. >> thank you very much. guy, what's the trade? >> stay away from it. there will be people dieing to buy it on the dip. it comes on the heels of dpiz knee. that was one of the first glitchy quarters. news corps probably trades down in the lower 16. >> some good news and bad news. the guy whose model s caught on fire last week says he would not hesitate to buy another one but george clooney disses his tesla.

i was one of the first cats with a tesla and i said to them, look guys, why am i always stuck on the side of the [ bleep ] road? >> do i need to fill that in for you? >> i would point out that this is not a model s. he is probably in the genuine and clearly things have advanced since then. so there is no time frame. >> it was an early edition roadster. he auctioned it off in 2012 and tesla has stepped selling this roadster. >> if clooney, call him daddy oh. there will be major competition for tesla. places where there will be other

brands out there. >> it looks like it's consolidating. >> i still think you have got to let it sit for a couple of days. the fact that george clooney says i was one of the first cats. >> you say cats all the time. all the time. >> lair lair pants on fire. >> that's like saying a model t is a later version of a ford. >> tech company rack space announcing that it fell 30%. we are seeing shares in the afterhour session trade a little higher here, up 2%. our next guest manages a $120 billion fund. then google is out more than

one has to be very cautious and look for the. >> do you neetd to be able to meet. >> basically we use valuation rate in our liabilities of real 2.75%. to compare that to rates that u.s. pension plans use is more like eight. >> we hear a lot about assumptions of fallen returns in terms of the way large pension plan plans tend to allocate their assets. obviously that has not been borne out in recent years. >> we run our own hedge funds

internally. they have returned around the 10% level. but you have got remember we are managing assets and liabilities. >> so you mentioned the markets -- it's hard to find value at this point? at what point in the cycle does it get to levels where you say being in the u.s. equity market, it's just too rich? we are looking for those particular areas where there is value to be gained. >> what areas do you find value in? >> you have got to go within each asset class. we have been, the government has

been flooding these. it's driving anything that is interest rate sensitive through the roof. >> where you can go in and be effective and find good values. >> some of the emerging markets where we have increased our exposure from around 15% to 20%. >> you're doing that now at a time? that has been the whole thing with the rub. down 12.5%. >> we're not buying the markets generally. we are looking for the companies that we think will do well. >> speaking of companies, i want to talk to you about ogx. you had actually exited when? >> basically, first of all we made a large investment with ogx at its very beginning and we exited about 2.5, three years ago.

i'm curious what your take is on what happened. did something unravel? did he fall on bad luck? >> it appears to be a change in strategy. turn it over to people who are operators and at some point he decided he would become a operator. >> is that when you exited? >> yes. >> jim, great to speak with you. thanks for coming by. jim leech. time now for pops and drops. big movers of the day. >> jeffrey is actually increasing the price target to $100 a share. >> got a pop up for dang dang. >> a lot of this is on these guys report. their numbers are better despite

the fact that the company has been trying to temper the enthusiasm. >> great quarter at the end of october. >> i have got to tell you it's up 20 points. it has just hit lewd chris speed. >> and minivan racing. they are now tearing it up at the speed way. these rides top out around 73 miles an hour but it is tho trip to the beach. >> that would be perfect for you. you really can't drive that well either. get yourself a little minivan.

trouble. removing google from its best ideas list. google is up more than 43%. is there more room to run or is the search engine running out of steam? >> i read the report and i noticed that he kept google at underweight. he was basically saying most of the gain has been pe expansion. here is what i would tell you. $169 a share is just skash. if you back that out it is actually selling at a market multiple. really stha have done nothing to warrant anyone selling the stock. i would buy it. provided that it holds that gap. i think you have got a big one

on your hand. it sounds like gentlemen is a euphemism for something else. >> they moeked last quarter. plus the stock was trading at about a six month low. there were zero expectations. that's why you saw the rally that they had. and look at the head count gain. thigh guys do -- >> they are growing. >> they are cavalier in the way they spend money. they had better hope that they continue on the. >> and this stuff is going out there. nobody is talking about the who nsa. they have headline risk as well. you have got to be careful going

lier in the morning. i actually think i will be rewarded by being patient. expectations are not quite the same. i would love the opportunity to see no. >> did you get it on the deal or after the deal? >> we are watching a lot of twitter trades. it's down what? 5%. >> i thought facebook would hold this 48, 48.5 level. it clearly has not traded well. i'm still in the camp that it works. that's a pretty dramatic sell off. i will give it a couple more days. >> moving on here, billionaire

carl icahn has reached a deal, ending a month long campaign. now karen has got the fine print here. what did you make of this deal? >> it was operational cuts not tax. he is so powerful now that there is really not a lot that you can do. you can have a good experience. so maybe that would be the same here. there was some pleat items as well as operational items that carl was pushing for. we don't know exactly which assets will be put into an mlp structure but they did say they would do it. i think he is absolutely should declare victory here.

two seats out of 11 is doable. >> was he right? how do you feel about that? >> you know, i don't think it's an ether or. this is is a big company. i think they can run more efficiently and still be able to buy new builds. >> if i can can declare victory, do you pair your stakes? >> i'm not in the stock now but i was in it six months ago. i like the pop. i think they have tremendous offshore drilling business that will continue to be profitable. >> my favorite is north atlantic offshore drilling. >> janet set to testify as part of confirmation but the bond

market is closed today. joining us now is dennis gartman. >> great to be had. >> now she has been ben bernanke's right hand woman for quite some time now. this will be the first glimpse that we have into how she assesses policy. >> i think the ris sk that bonds look like we are probably answering a bear market and i think you have to understand that fact. i can remember back in the day that i was down on the floor. if you were late to the bull market by two years you were still quite early. i think that we have seen a massive top taking here. i think you have to be telling the bond market. i think we have a long term change in the sentiment of the

bond market and i think you need to be a seller of it. look at the chart and how it's shaping up. look at what who is becoming more dovish. look at what the fed wants to have, which i think is a more positively sloped yield curve. they're not going to move the short end but the long end will be a detrimental concern. >> if you're looking to short the ten year, where are you looking for rates to go? >> i think we will be surprised where rates will be four and five and sick years from now.

within the nkt two years i am writing it down on my little notebook. >> i am sort of in the other i can see ten years going back down to 2%. can you see that happening within the theme that you are talking about now? >> you need to get out of new york. you need to get out of nashville. you need to go to memphis or ohio. you need to go to souix city,

iowa. automobiles are being sold. airplanes are being crowded. hotel rooms are being used and i think friday's number in the employment figures were indicative of what's going on in the economy. i think actually outside of new york, things are doing quite well, thank you very much. >> dennis, good to see you. enjoy the big easy. >> i always like the big easy. it's good to be here. >> dennis gartman. the crude crush continues. some traders are betting that energy stocks will take a tumble. >> you are absolutely right. on these low volume days, if somebody has a bearish ax to grind it really sticks out and we saw that in a number of energy names today. high put call ratio today. probably the most interesting one, this is the oil exploration and development etf had very

high put call ratio most of the day. and somebody was rolling bearish positions out from november to december. and finally sun corps energy had very high put call volume. at the end of the day, 15 puts traded for every call. >> what did you notice in the energy space? >> exxon mobile. a couple times we said it's got to play catch up. i think it still works here. >> thanks for options actions. pot belly's first pubically traded company report comes out tomorrow. could the sandwich chain report turn things around? that's ahead on fast.
