watching. he was uninjured. quickly regains consciousness, actually smiles when it's all done, shakes his buddy's hand. the worst trade of the guys who run in who don't even run in to see if he's okay. that does it for us. "power lunch" starts now. halftime is over. the second half of the trading day -- indeed it does. welcome to "power lunch." markets hitting new all-time highs. we're on dow's 17,000 watch. we're just about 40 points or so away. different story for wall street's so-called fear index, the sixth plunging to a seven-year low. is complacency a worry, or perhaps not? how to invest in a market like this?

we're not bluffing. there have been some big changes at the department of justice. tyler is on vacation. simon is my partner. >> yeah, the monumental approach heading towards 17,000. now 46 points away. sarah eisen is joining us on the floor of the new york stock exchange with more details. >> we're on dow's 17,000 watch. certainly if you look at the action today of what is driving the gains in the dow jones industrial average, and we are it looks like less than 40 points away here. caterpillar is the biggest -- merck had been a big gainer. it's a milestone, a psychological number, and it

represents the steady climb that we have seen both in the dow and the s&p 500. we're heading for six straight sessions of gains. there is the dow jones industrial average over one year. last time we saw the big number, that was 16,000, was november 2013. so talk about seven months. interestingly enough, simon, seven months before that is when we saw the 15,000 left. the point is you're rising 1,000 points every seven months, therefore you could rise another thousand point by january, sue, which would be a gain of almost 6% for january, if you kept up the pace, though that's a huge question. back to you. >> it sure is, but you never know in this market especially. thank you sarah and simon. after a rough couple months, the russell 2000 has been staging a comeback. the russell small-cap index is up 2% this week, up 6% over the past month. seema mody is looking at what's driving the rebound for us.

>> hi, sue. that's right. after trading near correction territory, the russell 2000 has been staging a major comeback, outperforming the s&p 500 and the nasdaq over the past one month, so what's driving this rebound? well, market participants i spoke to track the russell as well as small-cap stocks, a drop in price earlier this year is being seen by some as a good buying opportunity many of the stocks are on mistically identix, and open table being acquired by priceline. we also screened for stocks in the russell 200 that had gained momentum and still trading at an attractive average. blooming brands, and supervalu,

though an analyst was cautious, saying it's still in the early innings of the turnaround strategy. >> i spot to an fort folio manager and he said the rally is overextended, in that you may see investors start to take money off the table. >> seema, thank you. so as stocks hit new all-time highs, the fear index interestingly is hitting seven-year lows, down about 23% so far this year, jim iuorio is here. many would say it's a broken indicator. >> i don't think it's a broken indicator. and that any time there would be a significant correction or weakness in the stock market, it

would be met with more central bank accommodate, but the second part is people don't consider this as much. the lack of safe yield everywhere has created this culture of options selling, depressing the price of option, in order to enhance the yield fort folio. i think it's an amazing opportunity for people to replicate the long position in stocks. it's like renting instead of buying stocks. that's what i'm doing now. >> interesting. okay, jim, thank you very much. jim iuorio there. with the market flash, here's morgan. >> check on the carmax. vehicle unit sales rising nearly 10% income from the company's auto finance business rote 8.7%, the stock currently trading up about 18%. auto nation also higher, goldman sachs upgrades the car retailer based on a strong growth

outlook. auto nation trading up as well about 3%. simon and sue, back to you. >> the dow and s&p hitting new intraday highs, and rebound in the small caps. sounds good if you're bullish. joining us you are two fund managers who say u.s. manufacturing is coming back. they're bullish on industrials. eric marshall is co-portfolio manage of the fire-and ron sloan is chief investment officer of invesco's global core equity team. happy friday. let me start with you, eric, if i can't. if manufacturing is coming back, that certainly does bode well. those those who say, though, that this market is fairly valued, maybe a little bit overvalued, are you still finding places to put cash to work? >> you know when the markets near a 52-week high, i think it's important to for him cuss on valuations, and we're out there talking to a lot of companies. you can still find pockets of

opportunity, but it's important i think to do active stock selection. within the industrials group, we like thing likes capstone paper. they're seeing very good pricing power in cardboard and those types of packaging materials. trinity industries, which makes railcars, as well as u.s. concrete. we see a real pickup in nonresidential commercial construction which would be a good for a lot of those basic materials companies out there. >> i understand you're bullish on energy and oil. is it based on other fundamentals than the oil situation? >> no, i think the gee on political situation maybe has some impact, but we became overweighted in the whole energy patch beginning last fall. we subscribe to the nothing that look, if the fed is successful and we get higher nominal

growth, energy will be right in the middle of that. the argument, the bearish argument about there are missing barrels of oil, they're not being counted, whatever, we think that's largely a buvg. we think there is no hiding place for oil barrels. we do a great job of measuring supply wore probably undermeshing even internal and u.s. developed -- so i think there's a fundamental we saw it move up sharply. that's a worry to some. we know the fed wants some inflation there everywhere, but is it too much at this point? >> well, i think it's really a

function of improving demand out there. so eventually, you know, inflation will start to work its way into the system. i think right now it's still very measurable. i think that's why you want to focus on companies that have good pricing power in their underlying business. tess hodges fund, we're also very bullish on the domestic energy market. we see that as a real advantage and we see that as kind of the second coming of the american industrial revolution. we haven't measured earnings growth or revenue growth outside

of price increases. i don't expect we'll get back to that. i think the fed wants 2% to 4% inflation. beyond that is another story, but up to that, i think we're okay. >> pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you. simon, down to you. >> let me pick up that theme. billionaire investor cowrote an op-ed in this morning's "wall street journal," saying the bond buying is holding back the, and in particular he believes small businesses. he says, quote, the country needs an exit from 2% growth to 2% growth trap, as he calls it. there are no shortuss through fed engineered balance sheet wealth creation. the sooner and more predictably thefold exits its extraordinary monetary accommodation, he says the sooner business can get back to business and labor can get back to work. is he right or is she wrong? our own steve liesman thinks he's wrong. steve, why? >> i want to give them an incomplete and suggest make there's a logical fallacy, in

that they say because fed policy is easy, and business investment alone, one must be causing the other, but when i look at the data, and by the way, both the dreckmiller who wrote the piece with kevin -- then i see business investment ticking up as a result or in response to quantitative easing. true, it's been uneven, it's been not as high or as strong as what people would have liked. then if you look at -- what is the best way to raise business investment? that's to raise asset prices. i looked at over the last 30 years, there's a 90% correlation right there between rising stock prices and rising investment. the notion that raising stock prices is hurting investment. that seems to be -- beg a little explanation from the two of them, who obviously are smart guys. one of the things i want to show you guys, ipos they have been booming, if that's true, i don't know that they have much of a

point. year to date 60% growth in ipos, 2013 the best year in a decade, up 73%, those are jobs that are created as a result of that. this is according to renaissance capital. i think there maybe be some kind of connection there, but i think they have to provide some evidence and refute this idea that fed qe seems to comes in response to low business investment and business investment needs to pick up in the wake of it. >> it's a hot debate. steve, thank you very much. steve liesman back there. >> he will be pardon of cnbc's fourth annual delivers alpha conference, this year on wednesday july 16th in new york city, where the top players in the investor community, politics and the economy get together to tack the critical issues facing investors today, and the likes of sue and i turn up for cocktails at the end. >> yes indeed we do, simon. thank you very much. our michelle caruso-cabrera is still in northern iraq for us once again today. it's been another day filled

with very heavy fighting. over to you, michelle. >> we'll have those details coming up on "power lunch." also, the biggest threat to iraq's unity may not be the sunni terror group. i'll show you one thing that baghdad is reay afraid of, coming up next in two minutes. just take a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managing your investments on your own. helping you find new ways to plan for retirement. and save on taxes where you can. so you can invest in the life that you want today. tap into the full power of your fidelity greenline. call or come in today for a free one-on-one review.

we are showing all refinery capable of processing 100,000 barrels of crude owl per day. what's key about it, it's locate indeed kurdistan. the refinery is emblematic to kurdistan's push to have the own oil industry in defiance of the -- kurdistan is a semiautonomous region of iraq, and the kurds have long dreamed of their own independent country, but to be dependent they need money. beneath them 45 billion barrel, to drill for and export their own oil. she say they would share the revenue with, but baghdad would have none of it. they won't even let them use the pipeline that iraq has to turkey. so what did kurdistan do? it built its own pipeline completely bypassing iraq proper and directly connecting to the port in turkey. he loaded up a tanker, it made

front page news here in kurdistan. the headline i'm showing you reads kurdistan will now have its own economy. they have since loded up two more tankers, but here's the problem. because the oil is disputed and the central government of baghdad is threatening to sue people who buy it, they've really struggled to find a buyer, that is until today. reuters reports that one of those tankers is going to dock in israel tomorrow, and finally at least 1 million barrels of crude oil will be unloaded. there's still two more tankers floating out there. when i spoke with the minister of foreign affairs earlier this week, i asked if the oil would finally get sold, because many consider it disputed and potentially illegal. >> it could be sold and there is no legal dispute. we are determined to go down that road and that would be and in age in the history of the kurdish people.

we are legitimate in the region. whatever we do here is legal and constitutional. >> reporter: so why is the presence of oil, a refinery a threat to iraqi unity? because a lot of experts say this could be the moment where kurdistan finally says we are going to go independent. we have the money and now maybe they have the leverage to tell baghdad we're going to go. the kurdistan government says, who us? no, we would never do such a thing, but when you read the newspapers here, they publish maps like this, the new iraq, and they divide the country up, and by the way, they show kurdistan bigger than it is right now. here's the second one from a newspaper earlier this week. this is a really key issue. guys, back to you. >> it really is, michelle. whenever there's opportunity like that or big change like that, we wonder if there's publicly traded companies trying to take advantage of the situation. >> so for a long time, the

majors were afraid to do anything here, because the baghdad government said they would debt blacklisted, then exxon got a exploration license, so several companies, and then if you want add pure kurdistan play there are two that trade in europe. dno, and also genel, founded by, guess who? tony hayward? remember he was running bp back during the spill in the gulf of mexi mexico. >> michelle, thank you. appreciate it very much. let's pick up on that with our next guest, who ran the kriismt aeis cia's operation . it's a pleasure to have you on "power lunch." >> a pleasure to be here. >> i'm going to go right to michelle's report, because i think it plays into what you think might be the desired

outcome. which would be perhaps separate states in iraq? >> i think we are watching the dissolution of iraq right now. the kurds have kirkuk. the kurds have oil. it will be difficult for the central government to reassert its authority. so de facto we have a kurdish state. the big problem the kurds will face is the reaction. we're watching in the sunni heartland pretty much go its own way. it will remain to be seen in the next few days whether the central government can launch an offensive that can recapture it, but again de facto we have a sunni heartland that's almost independent. >> but would the obama administration be able to accept that if instead we did end up with various stakes within iraq? >> i think one of the things we have to worry about is what the regional players will accept. the u.s. has limited influence in the kurdish north, more important slid is what the

iranians or turks will accept. if they are comfortable with comfortable with a kurdish state, there's very little what the u.s. can do. >> what should president obama do at this point? we heard his news conference. he is sending in 300 green berets. do you approve of his approach having spent so much time in that region? >> i think we should have a very measured approach. u.s. policy too often is ready/fire/aim. i think we need to figure out what the outcome should be. the outcome we want in iraq will dictate the course of action. i think moving steadily is a good idea. the problem is there is no military solution to what's happening in iraq. it will be a political solution. the existing government, malaki is at least 50% of the problem. just as importantly, if malaki is removed, what is going to succeed him? who is going to be in power? >> who comes next? >> yeah. >> what about engaging iran?

good idea or bad idea? >> i think it's a very practical idea. iran is a major player in iraq. iran has had a great deal of influence. it's it qods force in iran for years. not to engage iran on the iraq issue would be foolish. we would be heading in a different course and potentially run into conflicts that will hamper or ability. >> sir, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> as this continues, i know you'll be back >> thank you very much. a pleasure. we are watching another hot spot. just a short time ago ukraine's new president ordered its forces to cease fire for one week. it would be the first step? a more permanent peace deal. we will watch that care in i. sue, ahead of the show online pocker, the stakes are high. that story is next. plus in housing, the rental market is alive and well.

>> well, it was a perfect storm. we had a market structure where a lot of people were short into last month they got short below the 1260 left. a lot of people got hurt, they're expecting it to make a new low. once that failed, it start to do rally and creep higher. it wasn't very strong rally, and it started to creep higher. once above 1280, you saw a lot of shorts covering, a lot of it was the catalyst of yellen's speech. she spoke more dovish in terms of inflation. >> are you surprised by what we're seeing how it leveled off? >> i think a lot of yesterday was short covering. it's not very significant, but a lot of it was matched, so people got out of their shorts, some new longs added, but there was a lot of physical selling, mostly selling.

senator graham? >> well, for more than 50 years the wire act prohibited the transfer of money for the purposes of gambling over wight. for the obama administration to just unilaterally and in one small document a day and a half before christmas to say, no, they misplaced this comma, we do believe that the internet is not wires, and you can transfer money over the internet for gambling purposes, we think is wrong. if you're for gambling and you want it on the internet, come to congress and pass a bill, but let's not have one person in the bowels of the department of justice try to change it unilaterally. >> tom, why do you disagree with that view? >> first off, we have gambling over the internet right now. there's an estimated $40 billion worldwide market. 10% of that is coming out of

america the reality is its illegal to -- so we need to recognize the reality. there is gambling online in america. it's just going to the offshore markets, many of which are very unsafe. they lack any consumer protections. they lack protections to stop minors from gaming. frankly they lack protection against fraud and they're not run by licensed operators. so we look at the future, we need to be focused to make what makes interneat gaming safe and frankly locking in a national ban that essentially pushes that entire 10% of the global market into these offshore markets? we don't think that's the best public policy for us going forward. >> we should remind people at home you can vote on this in real time. by logging on to cnbc.com/vote. what is fascinating -- what adding extra detail to the

debate is that you are both backed by different parts of the gaming industry. in fact, you can't argue, and some do, there's a bitter civil war within the gaming industry. tom, sthat's also part of the picture, is it not, chasen? >> it's a bit irrelevant in my case. in the state of utah, we have no gambling. we don't want there to suddenly be gambling with 13-year-olds with app.s on their phone gambling. it is illegal to gamble over the internet with this is offshore sites. if you do believe that gambling over the internet is the right thing to do, come to congress, make your case and pass your bill. just don't have one person make that decision and don't tell me

it's prevalent and people are getting around the law anyway, so let's make it legal. there is a process in this country. that's to go to congress and make this happen. i don't think putting an app. on everybody's smartphone so 13-year-olds can gamble is the right thing. >> tom russell how defoal about your opponent -- it is process through congress to reverse the law? >> well, number one, i think it's unfortunate, though i think it's good to focus on what congressman chafe its pointed out. all we're asking for is that states have the opportunity to make the decision what's right for them. >> exactly. that's why the one person should not just change the because. what the obama administration is doing is going to force gambling into the state of utah. that's not right. >> that's not the case at all, congressman. >> this is a states rights issue, and that's why restoring

america's wire act is the right piece of legislation. >> that is absolutely not the right path forward. you talk about people in new jersey, people in delaware, nevada, other states that have offered online products through the lotteries, you will go to people in new jersey and say the consumers protections that you have put in place, the legal fair options that you have put in place for online gaming are going to be taken away and those folks already fobbed on to the black market again. >> it is clearly a heated debate. we thank you for your time. you have exposed a lot of the issues which cut very deeply for a lot of people. tom russell, and congress mast jason chaffitz, thank you. the results of the viewer vote, should online poker be legal in this country? you can see that 65% say yes, and 35%, which address up to

100, which is good, say no. it's great to see it moving in real time. >> i think it's fantastic, and we thank the viewers for coming in and making their opinions heard. i think it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. the saferguards that they put in place for minors, because one you do get it on a mobile device, i think that makes it difficult. i'm not saying i disagree. i'm just saying -- >> there are many things in this country that are available for adults, and we have -- we don't stop the adults from having it. >> i think that's really true, simon. you know it's summer. we have summer sizzlers, and new details about what an apple i watch may look like. >> the stock that is outperform. that's in just a few minutes. get ready to vote. cnbc.com/vote. josh, over to you.
