connell: we have decided i will root for the cardinals and you will root for the red sox. dagen: i care. i am legitimately rooting for the red sox. connell: i will root for the cardinals. dagen: the red sox kind of anybody hard times. connell: no, they don't. we have a lot coming up to start us off on markets now. nicole: good morning. the dow jones industrial average down 73 points. that is down about .5%. the nasdaq composite down almost a full percentage right now.

today we have a mixed bag of earnings. we are seeing some selling underway. boeing raised their full-year earnings. following is a winner. other names like tesla, a nara and coach are pulling back. connell: thank you. dagen: discussing some of the problems hurting the rollout of the health exchanges and the affordable care act. connell: we are going to go to the white house right now. rich edson is standing by. rich: these folks are losing the customers they need to be paying these insurance premiums.

11:04 am

correct? >> we do not know how any people have actually signed up. the folks who are supposed to cross subsidize that are the healthier young people. dagen: even if there were not problems with the rollout of the health exchanges, there are individuals who i have talked to because of the mandate for the type of coverage you have to buy now, their health premiums are going up under this law. maybe they will not buy insurance. maybe they would rather pay the penalty. maybe i will not even have to pay it if you do not catch me.
11:06 am
that alone will drive premiums up for other americans. >> dagen, you really identified a part of the program. when you have a situation like this, you have $500 million allegedly being spat on the website. it only costs $150,000 to launch the iphone. now with the insurance executives, they are saying the data that they are getting, there is a lot to come. dagen: put on a different hat, if you will.

11:09 am
connell: why not before? were you ever tempted to make the plunge? you avoided it for a long time. >> we try to buy companies that have some kind of a sustainable competitive advantage. we always felt that energy companies were really kind of commodity companies. their fortunes went up and down with the price of oil or natural gas or coal. now, that is changing. the u.s. is becoming the low cost manufacturer of a lot of these energy sources. that makes a lot of these companies have a real edge on their global competitors. connell: national oil well caught which caught by the way, is owned by brookshire hathaway. talk about that.

11:33 am
policy. if you earn more than $45,000, you are required to have a more luxurious policy. if you earn right around $45,000, but a little bit under it and you get a tax credit, a subsidy to help you buy it, that, according to the irs adds the value to your income. you get taxed on the tax credit that puts you in the higher bracket so you have to buy the more expensive policy or your employer has to buy the more expensive policy for you. there are over 7 million people in that category. that means an enormous expense for employers. did the congress to agree this? no. is it in the statute?
11:34 am
no. the irs took read it. it seeks to invalidate the irs interpretation of it. that is where we stand. congress fostered the complexity . it gave the opening to write these rulings. dagen: at the judge should not block the implementation.

growth. we see areas like biotech, services, like science and technology, but you are bringing up a good point, that all depends upon how well this overall platform works and whether the seven million people who are expected to sign a actually do so and who gives up first, those who won't the end need the insurance or young people who are really going to be supporting those who need the insurance by signing up themselves. cheryl: doesn't seem to be a consumer issue, people are trying on a website, getting information, and get help on the web site, so the insurance companies are a victim in all this and add to the fact that what companies are saying, at the united healthcare made the same statement, they're having a tough time with verification of these individuals, tried to sign on to the federal program and denounced the programs and this
12:10 pm
isn't the health insurance companies fault. >> i am not saying it is the health insurance companies's for the consumers's fault but you have to realize those people who continuously try to sign up the real question is what patients do they have? patients's level of continuing to come back and be pushed back by the web site, those who need the insurance have the incentive to continue to come back on whereas those young people who don't need the insurance but simply have the march 31st of point could end up losing patients more quickly and so the real concern is maybe we have not enough people sign up who need to and then we have to revise our earnings expectations for next year. cheryl: another issue government seems to want to inflict on wall street investors, the shutdown. the average economic cost looks like $24 billion, the average estimate of economists.
12:11 pm
but certainly this will affect unemployment, that is something the fed will have to weigh. markets love the story yesterday. today without 77 points what is going on? >> i agree with you about the economic number because it was first published by standard and poor's ratings which operates independently from capitol iq but i think it also just says this is one reason why fourth quarter earnings are expected to come in at 8.6% rather than the 9.6% that was expected on oct. first. earnings expectations of come in again and what is going on with the stock price today? i think because we hit a record high yesterday some people are saying maybe i want to take some profits while i can. i would let investors know the we are getting to a zone of vulnerability in my opinion because valuations are coming
12:12 pm
back to long-term averages where only a couple of percentage point discount to the median over the past quarter century. we are getting up there in terms of valuation. cheryl: that is the question for 2014. always great to see you and i apologize for cheating on you with other strategists and economists. i will be careful. >> i forgive you. dennis: coming of the baltimore ravens shelling for obamacare and patriotic pigskin millionaires get paid some of your tax dollars to do it. cheryl: america's highways, umbrages, critics say there isn't enough government money going into fixing our infrastructure. what happens to the $800 billion of shovel ready stimulus? i will get answers to that question coming up. as we go to break will get the energy market and oil again the story, well below $100. keep an eye on crude. let [ male announcer ] need help keeping your digestive balance in sync?

12:17 pm
down. global story, down 63 points. and keep an eye on the industrials in their. you are looking at u.s. airways' right now. one of my favorite companies. >> a lot of fun to look at the airline company's most of which have done very well. here's a look at usairways down 1.8%. did i earlier today, 2209, highest levels we have seen since 2007. this is because it is setting money aside for taxes and merger costs, in the midst of trying to merge with american airlines but the department of justice has a lawsuit pending and that will be taken care of on november 26th and will continue to follow that, their concern may be to hire ticket prices and hurt

12:25 pm
quite what users are looking for. think about a user at facebook, they want to do fall off, look at pictures of their friends, are they in a buying mood? not so sure about that and even worse, if you are to look at them they can be pointed in exactly the opposite direction from what makes sense. dennis: what does that mean pointed in the opposite direction from what makes sense? >> i got married a couple years ago and not six months later facebook was serving me ads for the dating site match.com. that doesn't seem right. facebook knew i was married, had a link to my spouse, they knew it was on my profile, y. sayre tried dating and? the biggest blunder you could make. dennis: unless facebook has a really dim view of marriage but i see your point. also you figure users are not liking the intrusiveness ads and advertisers begin to doubt the returns. why did they doubt the returns?
12:26 pm
>> advertisers are usually pretty well positioned to measure the and effectiveness, they can measure how many ads are shown, how many users click and how many users sign up. on that view presumably match.com would eventually notice this ad isn't working well for them which would lead them to reduce their bid or maybe stop buying out all. that could help push the market back toward sensible outcome is. and circumstances where advertisers get tricked and it is more than it is worth for them. dennis: are we raising the bar on facebook too high. when general motors runs an ad for a sedan on prime-time television is reaching 90% of the audience that is shopping for a car. >> absolutely. that is a real point. on the other hand the price general motors the effects the huge discount, they get a discount because they know most of the users are not going to be interested in what they're
12:27 pm
selling. facebook meanwhile want rights -- wants the price that is tighter than what television charges. charging a premium price because the ads are separate we targeted. until you really dig into the details, then it can be much less. dennis: when i step in if you stop here, i've thought prime-time ads on television were roughly $20 to reach a thousand people and facebook ads on a cost per 1,000 pieces was cheaper. am wrong on that? >> you can get at on facebook ready advertisers being quite a bit more. the new targeting ads can be rather expensive. you can go well above $20, some of these ads are charged when the user clicks the rattle when the user buys and prices can be superhigh in that context. dennis: thanks for being with us. i don't know that you made this a little. they have done a good job at

12:29 pm
what is key is two thesebook directors only got around $600,000 each and noaa information in a twitter filing on what performance based metric these outside directors needs to get this rich pay a. cheryl: that was a question yesterday, now we find out what is going on, thank you so much. dennis: the play station 4 it sells next month, actually $400 cheaper than the microsoft box but in one country is going to have a four figure price tag. gerri: top executives meeting in d.c. to discuss north america's biggest project. we have the organizer and outspoken critic of the state of the u.s. infrastructure coming up in a fox business exclusive. and look at the winners, the s&p 500, of the big names we will talk about in a moment. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals:

12:34 pm
11-1/4% hitting new highs we have not seen since 2011 and this is because of the big deal, samsung and according to working together, now making a joint deal, samsung buying $2.3 billion a steak and corning will own all of the lcd adventures with samsung which gives them the opportunity to supply samsung with liquid crystal display glasses through the year 2023. corning is known for guerrilla glass, when you think of the razor and samsung galaxy, and they have a hand in that so this is a big deal which is why you are seeing analysts really pushing corning higher as well. you dated is up 35%. new high performing. cheryl: a thousand product across the country. coming up at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. my interview with the ceo and president wendell weeks will be

12:36 pm
is critical for a global competitiveness? >> we look at numbers like this if you look at $33 billion and this is a we have environmental protection agency got $6 billion and is very vague as to where that money is going but the private sector is stepping in. is this worth the risk for private companies to get into this? >> absolutely. it is and unbelievable market for private companies. those are the guys with how the technology, all the creative ideas, the guys with the money. the federal government doesn't have any money anymore. we got to figure out how to structure this to get increasing amounts of private sector investors involved in infrastructure. cheryl: one thing we are talking about, transportation, many americans would like to see the fruits of the labor, we are not frankly. one of the things you're seeing is a lot of big oil companies putting money in infrastructure projects in alaska, that serve the oil companies but what is to
12:37 pm
get a companies to invest and save mrs. alabama, where is the economic payoff for the company? >> these are fantastic examples, global trading creasing by 10%, 15% year. unbelievable helm.is to keep our waterways which are incredible in terms of the gifted this country to make as globally competitive. how is it we don't keep those up to date. how is it the army corps of engineers as a $4.5 billion budget and $65 billion worth an annual demand for our waterways and ports and wetlands? >> i thought this was interesting, senator rockefeller of west virginia road and article that said this reflects the largest problem in congress we have right now, the lack of infrastructure projects in this country. on the other side of that argument we got to fund health care, medicaid, social security. the military. every senator, every congressman has is that project he wants to
12:38 pm
fund. to other leaders in congress with enough power to push these projects. >> they certainly are. we got to get people thinking about infrastructure as if it is a national security issue because it is a national security -- it is a national economic security issue and unless we figure out how to grow and that is not republican or c united states issue. unless we figure out how to grow we will grow from investing in infrastructure. absolutely critical. in 1956 we invested 5% of our gdp in infrastructure. by 2018 will be less than 1%. that is the least of any developed country investing in infrastructure. cheryl: you say the united states will no longer be globally competitive. not even in the top-10 would comes infrastructure. the chinese away at a bus. >> chinese, spanish, brazilian, all those guys are much more competitive globally than we are and invest in much larger percentage of gdp and infrastructure than we do.

rising oil prices, the fed was worried that would harm the economic recovery and they have to pull that. janet yellen said there was never a connection. that wasn't true then, it is true now. oil inventory up, not only did we get an increase of 5.24 million barrels this week, but last week's number we got two days ago because of the government shutdown we are talking ten million barrels of oil in the last two weeks but products are slammed on that news right now. gasoline prices, the wholesale price down $0.05 a gallon at numb to dollars and $0.55 and deegan heating oil down 666, down 29285. this is good news for the economy and also may be a sign the oil prices are different from the risk on risk of trade we have seen for some time. rising production, rising supply
