9:24 am
that ben bernanke will stop print. there's no evidence that he will. and last night the empire state survey, 35% say they're going to cut jobs. if that's the case, how can ben stop printing? only 22% say they're going to add jobs in the same time period. we have a parade of bears and ask how long this market can go. it's an admission of failure and maybe that the fed is irrelevant? we've got a big day for you. we're all over the markets for you, the opening bell is minutes away, but first, you've got to check this out. a chinese zoo trying to pass off gauze as exotic animals. the zoo couldn't afford real animals and filled instead with dogs instead. and reported that one child asked her mother, why is the lion barking?

♪ tell me why do you have to make things so complicated♪ >> well, if you look at the numbers, ben won't stop printing anytime soon, but a lot of buzz about the market
9:29 am
selloff. >> it's all about tapering fears. we're going to talk about this all morning long. right now a minute away from the opening bell. joining the company from chicago, scott shelldy. what do you hear about tapering? is that the main thing fueling the selloff? >> i think that's the main thing, but i think a lot of economists are stuck on their own exhaust. if you listen about data dependence. 6.5 and 2% inflation rate. we're nowhere near the levels. and look what the fed said and bowler said the other day, we're not near tapering, but everybody is up about how we have to get the tapering on the board. we have quantitative easing to spur on growth. 85 billion a month, charles, 1, 1 1/2 gdp. who is fooling here? we've got more sequester cuts down the line and obama care in january. we're going to change the fed
9:30 am
president. you tell me where this is coming from. charles: i'm happy you said that. my theory is, if the fed does taper, it admits the policies don't work anymore and for a lot of people on wall street, an admission that the fed doesn't work is catastrophic. >> you're right. they're making a decision on policy and not academic health and that would be totally off the wall. charles: have a good weekend. there's a zoo in china that would like to have you and your jacket on display. they had a fake lion. i don't know what you're doing this weekend, don't disappear on us. >> he zoo you monday. charles: the opening bell iss starting to ring. dow down 22 points, a lackluster start, but that's par for the course. and we want to start with two stocks that dragged the market down. wal-mart and cisco. two big stocks that were down yesterday, nicole.
9:31 am
>> let's take a look here, here is wal-mart, which is down just under 1/2 of 1%. yesterday, wal-mart fell 2 1/2%. so it's worth taking a look at now. unfortunately, worried so much about people and customers who have higher payroll taxes plus customer traffic and there's a look at the dow component. dropped 2.6% yesterday and is down again today. cisco systems yesterday dropped 7% and many thought that was a knee jerk reaction because the company did in fact have a 18% jump in profit. they are laying off 4,000 workers, that's about 5% of the global work force, so, you can see here that cisco systems is up 1/4 of 1%. so, that's worth taking a look at as well. overall, obviously, two dow components with a mix and the dow is down again. it's a tough week on wall street, charles, as you know. charles: real quick now i have
9:32 am
two big names that you know, nordstroms and another that lowered profits for the full year, and of course, we like to keep an eye on apple. staying around the $500 mark. the only ray of light this week. speaking of apple, the new steve jobs biopic is out in theaters tonight. the critics are not so hot on it. we'll ask one of steve job's closest friends what he thinks of the film and both sides of a debate who claim that he has on their side. and suntrust raised a target to 54 from 44 and a buy on the stock. nicole? . nicole: it was looking like game stop was going to have an up arrow. quickly, i don't know whether it's ticked up for a second, but it's already in negative territory.
9:33 am
928, 30, don't know whether people quickly sold it off. game stop was put on death watch, but year to date up 90%. charles: and chelsea group said it was a $58 stock because of the new console so they're bucking our trend. by the i with a, blackberry, the ceo is in for 55 million dollar pay day if they can sell the company and nicole, something of an incentive to sell the company. how are the shares? >> 10.88. it's down 3/4 of 1%. and it stands to make 55.6 million dollars if the company is sold and he is out. so, that's one interesting aspect. it's interesting, remember, he's had no interest in selling the company and suddenly now may be open to it. blackberry, according to pacific crest, they don't think it's going to sell for more than $10 a share. they think lower here. blackberry unlikely to be sold for more than $10 a share and
9:34 am
keep it at an underperform rating. keep an eye on blackberry. >> i'm not one of the occupy wall street, but for a guy that's just on board. 55 million. can't say that for the rest of the shareholders. >> i want to get back to the big story. chris, you say that the corporate profits, you're looking at them and weaker and it's going to send the markets much lower, right? >> that's right, charles. you know, i looked at the top earnings for the second quarter and we only had earnings growth of about 2%. and if you back out the financials, earnings fell 3%, so that's the underlying trouble here, a large part of the market that are struggling to show any growth. >> you know, some people say though that the market, at least traditionally, us used to be a harbinger of things to come. a reflection of the next six months down the road. earnings weren't so good, but
9:35 am
you're not buying that argument, are you? that's an interesting thing, companies that give guidance, most of them guided lower, so those estimates going forward are already starting to come down and they're probably still too optimistic. so, i would expect that we might actually see a decline in the next quarter and certainly, i think we'll continue to see the numbers come down a bit. >> and chris, i want to shift gears, you have to ask, i say that the fed, if they do taper without any significant change in the economy, in a way they're saying our policies don't work gentleman en-- anymore. we've tried to be accommodative and inventive, but it's not worth it anymore. do you agree with me on this? >> yeah, i would agree with you. at some point their hand is going to be ffrced because they can only buy so much before they own all of the market and so, i think at some point, that tapering has to end whether they want to or not.
9:36 am
and they have other tools to use and they've hinted at that. perhaps we'll see a new operation switch or a newfangled way to get the market going. >> and it's going to be confusing. untwisting it. you're looking for the market to go down. listen, we've had a huge move and evee a 10% correction will be reasonable and will is be worse than that? >> i'm looking at 15% correction will be great and i think that could be a good place to start buying. so, again, i think it really comes down to those earnings. you just have to focus on those individual companies and earnings and see what areas look good. there's a wide variety in the market, right now the financials are doing very well. mining is doing awful. so within the market, there are places that i would focus on. >> right, so, still a stock picker's market and don't panic, be ready to buy when there's more blood in the street. we'll talk to you soon. >> thanks again.
9:37 am
>> all right, guys, we want to check up on silver and gold. and see them on your screen. both have an amazing week and silver spiking in fact. and the question, is now the time to buy metals? a lot of people wonder, of course, you guys love it. editor and survivor, prosper newsletter harry dent joins us now. you're legendary for making extraordinarily bold calls and some say that buying gold and silver is a bold call? >> we've been warning that gold and silver are in a bubble and they're inflation hedges and all of the fed stimulus is to stop from having deflation and they're getting a little deflation and the death knoll in the second quarter for gold and silver when we got inflation fall from 2% to 1% despite aggressive qe 3 and off the rester have an i gos --
9:38 am
reservation in japan. and when our economy slows again, it will, the stimulus will not work forever. it's already having less and less effect. gold and silver are going to go down. right now 1340 was a big level to break. the next resistance. and they tend to go up in anticipation of a financial crisis, but when the financial crisis hits like in 2008. gold was down. and silver was down and guess what? the u.s. dollar was up 27%. the opposite of what the gold bugs would have thought. >> so you would think then if this is 2008 we're not just looking at a domestic meltdown. you're looking for a global economic meltdown as well? >> we triggered it with my subprime crisis. we were stretched with the highest debt ratios in history. real estate bubbles everywhere
9:39 am
and demographics, that's my specialty. we've been saying baby boomers were peaking and spending at different times and slowing their spending and head towards retirement and economies were slow. all of this stimulus is fighting this demograph ic slide. they're killing the golden goose of pre market capitalism so we don't suffer pain. we're going to get the pain anyway and i think it's going to hit next year and i think that stocks are going to crash next year after going higher down the road and ultimately gold and silver are going to crash as well. so let's talk about that, because crash is a four letter word in the stock market. and how much of a crash are you looking at? what's the worst case scenario? >> worst case, well, first of all, i call it a meg aphone pattern if you look at the dow jones, every high, 2007, late 2013 has gone higher and every
9:40 am
crash-- >> i know, but give me, on the down side, the viewers are like, you've got them at the edge of their seats and talking about a crash and we've got to wrap up the piece because we've got to move on. i need numbers, where is dow going to be and s&p and gold going to be. >> dow 16,000 roughly by january and crash in the next few years down to 5800 to 6,000. gold is probably going up to about 1525 and then crash down to at least 700, 740 and the s&p is going to 1740 and go to about 5 to 600. charles: thank you very much. listen, again, we listen to you you've got a great track record. on this case i hope you're wrong. we'll talk to you again soon. all right, guys, now i have the 7 early movers for you, you know, green mountain got to start with them. now part of the nasdaq 100, that's an elite club of stocks and a lot of money managers are obligated to buy it. sort of a stamp of approval for
9:41 am
the company. and xilinx, a boost because of low inventory and the closest competitor. rand gold resources. and here is an interesting one, missed the street in the last four quarters and gold miners are looking good here, and you heard harry dent and a lot of people think there's a bounce in the stock as well. and eight householdings, a huge months for chinese stocks on u.s. exchanges. this was a housing play in china. up big, but 23 two years ago. technology reported after the bell last night. 24 cents. the street was looking for eight cents and it's up double digits. and therapeutics, last week beat the street. and now a lot of excitement about a new drug application to treat a storm of muscular
9:42 am
that's absolutely huge. let's shift back to the markets and look at the big board. somewhat lackluster, but this is the pattern. lackluster, but as the day goes on it's exciting and that's why we tell you to buckle up. a man who made money investing in iraq. he's a bull in iraq and he's going to tell us now is the time to buy or sell and would you invest? find out. that's next. clients are always learning g me to make their money do more.

9:48 am
i was brought up on the notion almost 20 years ago when i entered the emerging markets business, buy when the blood is in the streets. the blood is-- >> so 638 deaths is an appetizer with respect to blood in the middle east? >> well, i think certainly in the case of egypt, it's far too early. the egyptian stock market is up 26, over 26% in the last 12 months. even up 10% in the six weeks since the army replaced the elected muslim brotherhood government six years ago, so, really, you know, the price action isn't that exciting. egyptian equities haven't had great weakness, apart from buying students. >> and bartel wines, it's like 260 billion dollars. why has the market been so resolved in the face of the chaos there? >> i think one reason, charles, there's significant capital controls in egypt.
9:49 am
there aren't many places for people to take-- put their money. it's not easy to get your money out of the country. so to an extent these markets are artificially buoyed by that. and i think, frankly, in terms of the fundamentals, there's a lot more bad news to come. we know how difficult things are, i think that it could easily get worse and perhaps the markets are underestimating that. >> all right. i tell you that, we'd like to have you back when you start to nibble and then share some names, it's an interesting concept and you've been successful at it. thanks for that. >> thank you. >> time now for your morning gold report. remember, yesterday, gold was sort of side ways and toward the end of the session, exploded to the upside and it's picking up on momentum today. and a lot of people saying this is the big move. up next, jesse jackson, jr. has gone to jail, but eligible for monthly disability checks and wait until you hear how much

our. ♪ charles: wall street somewhat worried ben bernanke will stop printing but really can he do it? i want you to look at this. i dug into numbers from the empire state's eric, 35% of manufacturers say they will probably reduce, cut jobs in the second half of the year. that is not a case for ben bernanke stopping printing, only 22% say they will add jobs in the same time frame. liz: you are absolutely right. this is in line with the saudi u.s. economy. the numbers you did the work on a worse than where we were in july of 2009 at the heart of a crisis. what we are seeing is again saudi recovery but foreign manufacturers coming here instead because of the weak dollar, building plants here and reporting profits in their home country at high gear levels with the exchange rate. charles: takes awhile for a
10:01 am
foreign company to find the right tax rate and sullen but the idea -- every year manufacturers say we will hire more people in the second half of the year. the president promised manufacturing would turn the economy around. for that number i don't see how ben bernanke could take a victory lap. liz: manufacturing jobs they-service level jobs. this economy is seriously restructuring away from manufacturing. charles: i don't think ben can do it. i have a big bear coming up in a moment, his target for the dow. liz: charles: liz claman and david asman will talk to richard fisher. you are not going to want to miss that. extremely important, the fed making all the news and check the price of gold, cute speights yesterday. we will check on that again, up $5.50 and i want to get to

nicole petallides, gold stocks are up this week. nicole: we talk about what a tough week we have on wall street, the second losing week on wall street ahead this week for the dow which is down over 2%, the worse point drop we have seen in two months bucking the trend, gold stocks, mining, we have seen them running out, you see the little lower today but it is 11%, gold up 13%. i talked to some of the traders and asked why we saw the run up and they talked about the correlation in part to treasury yields and treasury yields on a rise and gold rising as well couples with the fact that they were beaten down and had some upside potential so you do see some pulling back a little bit today but i didn't do the low one week chart on freeport mcnamara.
10:03 am
there was a little back and forth but looking at the whole group overall, gold today ran yesterday running again today about $9 so that is what we have been looking at. charles: appreciate it. i want to bring in dan shaffer. here is a 1-year chart of the dow, you see has been going, you say we are at a pivotal point, historic point and the mark on the verge of a major crash. >> technically. measurements of the 2008 high to 2013, symmetrically ended on august 8th and this is the pivot point based on the concept that the market is ready to take its role over which could last until 2015. charles: a two year bear market, one of these things where the snowball that becomes the boulder does it get worse as we go on or do we get a sharp decline? >> we get a sharp decline. it is clear we will get a sharp
10:04 am
based on the analysis. we at the top in 2000 and the same in 2008, the same pattern in 2008 that we have right now which does precipitate, we saw yesterday what can happen. the fireworks are about to begin and it is going to last quite a while. charles: historically this pattern, how often has it happened and how often is it right? >> based on the measurements in the market is right a lot of the times but all different time frames. this is a long-term tea i have measured out. it is long-term and at that point when it t loses energy because it is based on the mcclellan oscillator, technical that energy in the market -- charles: your work is singing sell sell sell. >> you could bet them, i want to get a chart and talk about your target because ultimately we are
10:05 am
above 15,100 for that market, you're a target for the dow, 5,000 by mid 2015, 5,000. that is chaos. we at talking the united states treasury. >> it happened in 1973-1974. the market made a new high. charles: going to be a problem. >> the same pattern in the megaphone pattern. is clear on long-term charts, stronger than short-term charts and it is clear that this is the direction this is going to head. charles: dan shaffer, 5,000 on the dollar. for now, we have a winner in the market for you. you need when right now, jetblue. tell us what is going on. nicole: jetblue is up 4%, transportation index doing very well today but what is interesting about jetblue, we all of the tvs of the style do. let's talk about a couple
10:06 am
headlines. the first is the analyst calls that we are seeing, raymond james raising them to market from underperform, you to date jetblue is a winner of 13% and the headlines that have been crossing over the last 24 hours is that kind up with british airways and having connection network so you are talking areas such as newark, jfk, logan airport, orlando international airport, washington d.c. dollars and you will be able to fly to london, london heathrow, etc.. this is a big-time agreement and you have the analysts who are miking that and talking about president james, particularly saying they should come out a winner. back to you. charles: appreciate it. remember those navigator's been hired to help people? uninsured americans 4 obamacare. the, the health and human services awarded 100 organizations $67 million to help these navigators sign people up for the health-care

10:08 am
personal information could be out there for the world to see possibly through the navigator is. >> it is a way -- they know there will be people talking about obamacare. it is unpopular. let's get as many people on the government dole as we can to make sure we can offset -- liz: richard trumka wants to unionize nonprofits, all sorts of groups because member should is down. we already have a company doing this work and they think they've finally won a contract to do this work. it is an internet exchange that can help you sign up. the free-market is the problem. charles: the 2000 page bill and every day the rules change and someone from planned parenthood have a lot of contracts, they're not going to know the nitty gritty of this stuff. there has to be an ulterior motive for picking these people. the money is an ulterior motive too. the pay is not bad. >> government workers getting paid a lot of money for doing

my next job. charles: not your typical message from celebrities and not the message we hear from the president either, which message of the youth of america listening to. let's listen to one of them, richard fowler joins us now. i thought was going to see you in a big half but wrong one. that was a very inspiration lasorda of message that parents have been giving to their kids from the beginning of time. do you think it is resonating with the use of today? >> i do. i think we continue to serve the same mantra, work hard and get good grades and go to college and become part of the middle class which is why you have an overwhelming young people -- charles: let me jump in. your parents sat you down and said we want you to be part of the middle class? they didn't tell you to reach for the sky and reach for the mission? >> i agree, i think you are right that parents ask us to
10:15 am
reach for the sky and do what we can understanding that is how we create a middle-class 3 years and years and years. sadly what young people are dealing with now is the burden of student loan debt at $1 trillion it is hard to be part of the middle class or even be part of the 1% because we are burdened with the dead and can't pursue the american dream. charles: no doubt that is an issue but it would not be an issue if there were jobs and a vibrant economy. on one hand there is that and there's another thing. i got to tell you you go back to the great depression you would be shocked, is the amazing company word and cobbled together in a tiger, people who had nothing severe will start a company. where is that part of the american youth? i will pull myself up by the bootstraps the matter what i've settled with? >> you see that every day across the country, young people saying we will create business and do the right thing. sadly because of student loan debt crisis air force to take jobs just to pay their student
10:16 am
loan debt balance instead of trying to create innovative companies and new ideas and that is the problem we are faced with. liz: i appreciate what you are saying and there's a culture of victimization out here, poor pitiful me, i need help from the government. what was striking about the speech is if you watch it again, teenage girls in the audience were cheering him when he was saying working is sexy, being smart is sexy, trying to get a job when you are still working, don't quit your job until you get another job is a great move. what do you make of that? the reaction was so positive that the same time the hollywood establishment is saying this was a weird speech he gave. >> the hollywood establishment is wrong. he spoke to the millennial generation and young people across the country. the idea if you fight hard and work hard you really can pursue the american dream and that
10:17 am
exactly, resonates with young people and you see each and every day across the country, you see record numbers of folks joining -- teach for america, the peace corps and creating small businesses whether it be a tanning salon in a local town or local city and finding consulting firms. charles: the last was a pat on the back. but thanks for being on the show and we will have you back to discuss this further. you kept dropping that middle class thing, the only thing the bothered me. the other than that i enjoyed u.s. polk we have d-backs in. we will talk to use in. the virtual currency and a big goal have in common, dick bove one of the leading voices in the banking industry will tell us why he loves big coin, why? next.

10:23 am
apartments where 26%, single-family units declined 2.2%. we need to know the true picture of what the housing story is that overall home construction has risen two of the last three months. charles: we have taken a hit so good relief rally. charles: warren buffett's right hand man called poison on the air but let's bring in dick bove, you have got to be kidding me. >> an interesting period where the dollar is losing its position, local currency and other currencies started to compete to take its place and obviously the chinese, doing the best job of moving into the dollar space but there seems to be a need on a series of constituencies for a new
10:24 am
currency which is stable, but we are experimenting, we're seeing new technologies to create this currency, and whether it is another currency, whether it is another crypto currency, it will be a major part of the global system. charles: we have a chart that is more volatile than green mountain and other highly shorted stocks and that is the point. a lot of people don't think this is it. i would suspect it is interesting because the pros are the same as the cons. no central bank or government behind it and people who love it say that is why you buy and those who don't say that is why you don't buy it. where is the argument? what is the right argument here? >> the right argument is the user of a currency needs to feel the currency is stable, that is
10:25 am
extraordinarily important and good points have not been stable and number 2, they must feel there's a limited number of that currency available, you can't have a central bank jumping the number of big coins, jumping the amount of currency whenever faq's for political reasons the fantasy and basically the dollar is losing ground in that regard. we are printing it like crazy, numbers and 2 we are attacking the banking system which is supposed to support it by demanding that the banks be broken up for too big to fail go away and number 3, politically we are driving certain things out of the financial system, iran can't get dollars and if it does get dollars the united states will freeze them wherever it sees them. it is hitting countries like argentina and the drug dealers who need something to operate
10:26 am
in. liz: you make such an interesting case that central banks are manipulating these fiat currencies and the status as a reserve currency may be in jeopardy because countries are favoring other currencies. when do you see a mass market place, when do you see it being accepted? it is not ready for prime time. >> and jeffrey miller wrote this book which is technology as opposed to monetary people and what he indicates is earlier doctors get into all sorts of problems as they try these new technologies. there have been blown ups in the software. it has been hacked at the exchange level, act in individual accounts of clearly is not ready, if you are such

10:35 am
>> yes, you know, i think if you look at the scene with all of the people working in the garage, well, that's not really true. there weren't a whole bunch of people working in the garage, but the movie was-- well, i'll just say it was emotionally accurate for me. charles: right, you know, dan, listen, steve jobs was iconic person and there's a wide range of feelings about him from people who love him and think he's an american icon and should always be remembered to people who say he's difficult and self-centered and i remember when he passed away bill maher claimed him as a liberal and some republicans a republican conservative business guy who kept money overseas, but created an amazing american country. which side has the right or is it some place in the middle? >> i'm not really sure. i'm not really sure what that question is?

charles: good, thanks a lot. >> all right. charles: liz, i'm glad that at least he kind of settled one thing, closer to a ruthless businessman who wanted to get the job done because there has been a tug-of-war over his legacy and what he represented. >> a great point, charles. >> the passion the perfectionism and artistry and control, steve jobs. rolling stone is saying that ashton kutcher captured it. but what's interesting, he's saying that ashton is, he hopes that steve jobs would be as brutally honest in his life towards his portrayal of him in the movie. charles: funny he mentioned brutally honest. things changed from steve job's death to the tim armstrong controversy and tells a guy you're fired and a back story, everyone is upset the worst way in the world to fire people. i've fired people a lot worse than that, and i bet steve jobs has as well. has steve jobs been given a free pass or the world has
