11:00 am
connell: what kind of an american are you. moving to an american based apple. i'm sharing it with the lovely dagen mcdowell. talk to people running for congress, high-profile democrats try to change the subject instead of talking about obamacare, the subject turning to hillary clinton's presidential campaign but still a long way off. the great money bubble. why we will all pay the price for what the world central bankers are doing right now. here to talk with us about that. apple is looking to go 3d maybe. trying to buy the company behind the 3d cameras and microsoft's xbox 360. and the meningitis scare in new jersey. has the government now looking overseas for a vaccine that has only been found there. big-money implications to this as well and we will have it coming up this hour of "markets now."
11:01 am
oh, yeah. and the dow 16,000. dagen: now what am i going to say? connell: you will never be at a loss of words. dagen: i visit here and look marginally irritated. connell: ken burns is here. dagen: talking about the kennedy address. connell: a big show. dagen: connell will attack the baseball within a minute. top of the hour, 16,000 counting, the dow and s&p hitting new all-time highs. nicole petallides at the new york stock exchange. nicole: a record-setting day, however we will go ahead and say it again because this one is slightly more monumental you are hitting 16,000 on the dow jones industrial, 1800 on the s&p 500, and the nasdaq getting closer
11:02 am
and closer to nasdaq 4000. the s&p up one-tenth of 1%, and some of the names on the dow jones industrial are hitting new highs. we are watching that in particular, also keeping an eye on tyson foods. tyson foods came out with their numbers higher chicken sales, higher beef sales, better-than-expected 28% rise. pork sales a little bit weak but going forward they expect deduction for all those names to move to the upside. beef, pork, chicken, back to you. dagen: thank you, nicole. connell: little-known failsafe getting health insurance companies some added protection against losses and it leaves us the taxpayers stuck with the bill. dagen: rich edson in washington to explain. rich: the actuaries are worried. look out. the letter of all the consequences of the minister to
11:03 am
fix allowing insurance companies to reissue plans as healt healte law phases out the american academy of actuaries warns consumers may face higher premiums which still may fall short and cost insurance companies and insurance companies then try to recoup those losses in 2015 by raising premiums further and it may cost the federal government because of a provision in the law creating so-called risk car doors requiring the federal government to subsidize insurance companies who fail to anensure enough healthy young people. one republicans say opens the door to a bailout of insurance companies. some democrats continue to criticize the president's promise in selling the law. >> he should have been more specific. if you are being offered a terrible health care plan the minute you get sick you're going to have to go into bankruptcy, it should never be optioned.
11:04 am
we all new. the plan is to cover things people need like preventative care, birth control, pregnancy. speak of the president promised obamacare would not at a dime to the deficit. they say the latest analysis the law cut enough for medicare and increases enough in taxes to make the government some money but that was before the technical problems and political fixes. back to you. dagen: i don't know, but my friends don't need that kind of birth control, i am just saying. i am putting you on the spot, thank you so much. it makes me mad, and appears to be making some democrats mad as well because they are trying every which way to talk around the mess created by the health care law. he always comes angry.
11:05 am
again, one of the talking points the democrats are trying to use is we are just helping you because insurance companies were selling you a bill of goods and it was a lousy policy anyway. it is not working, we all know the law is failing. >> the law was a bad law to start with. you cannot do something that nobody reads, they didn't analyze it, the people who voted on it didn't know what was in it. i am not sewed down on obama about lying about this. he did not read the law either. he doesn't know what is in it. and law is somebody who deliberately deceives. what he said he went out on a limb about and shouldn't have, no doubt about that. what the new york senator, what they said over the weekend, what she said over the weekend about
11:06 am
everybody running away from obama, the democrats and all of that, almost pre-endorsing hillary is just as bad. that is insanity. hillary is as bad as the president. member 1993, i don't remember where those things were, the fbi files. whitewater, and benghazi, you grabbed tell a more blatant lie than that and propagate to the public something that was not true. why would she go from one lie to another? dagen: do you think the people who had been dumped by their health insurers, people young and old alike who were stranded with no health insurance as of the end of this year, and they had not so far and cannot sign up on these health exchanges. what do they do?
11:07 am
what happens to them and the economy and the state of america if they are left insurance less because of this law on january 1. >> to vote out the guy who voted for it, may vote those people out and they turn around and try to write a different law, a new law, you cannot do this, the government cannot do this, this has to be done in the free market in a way that is profitable to the insurance companies and it makes sense to the doctors and to the patient. it can be done if they allow insurance companies to compete across state lines, competition would lower the price, competition would bring this to everybody. you just can't enforce this with the public mandate from the federal government. dagen: wayne, it was good to see you. wayne rogers, we will see you soon. connell: onto the markets now, everybody talking about dow 16,000. investors keep investing, these
11:08 am
numbers show $34 billion went into equity neutral funds for the past four weeks, the largest four weeks total since january. dagen: is that a dumb idea what these people are doing with their money? author of streetsmarts, adventures on the road and in the market. welcome. from asia. >> i am delighted. i have jetlagged. connell: i have tried, you can't do it. >> is it a foolish thing they are doing? absolutely. we will all be destroyed by it someday. we will see in the end, it depends on how long they continue to print money, but it looks like the central banks around the world are going to continue to print money. nothing to stop the u.s. now, nothing to stop the japanese. as long as this madness is going on, play the game. dagen: would you bet against
11:09 am
what the federal reserve is doing? whether you think it is right or wrong, whether it will end in disaster in the long run, would you bet alongside the fed? >> i am not the first person to say don't fight the fed. that has been proven many times. it is not just of the fed. the firs recorded history all major central banks are printing money as fast as they can. there is nothing to stop them. the japanese, nothing to stop them. there's nothing to stop congress spending. while the madness is going on you might as well play the madness but be aware it is madness. be aware you better get out before everybody else because when it stops, this artificial sea of liquidity dries up, boy, it will not be a fun time.
11:10 am
connell: you said to us before you came on there are things happening in china that are four more important than anything we have talked about so far. a couple of minutes left, what is it? >> none of it noticed it until us. it changed the world. just last week i decided we will open up the economy, if you can invest in those sectors, forget the federal reserve, those sectors of the chinese economy will boom for decades. the single most important thing they said was from now on the government is not going to make the decision, the market will make the decision. wouldn't you like that in america? the government says don't worry, we will make the decision, we will take care of health care, we do it better than you can. not in china. dagen: how do you make those investments if you are an individual? >> i am an individual. dagen: but you do this for a living.
11:11 am
>> they trade in the u.s., your broker can call up very easily and why you just about any chinese share you want to. connell: could you bet on some of the sectors to talk about? >> you could buy etf, they trade on the new york stock exchange, all over the world. it is not very consummated the mac complicated. dagen: asset classes, which one is most dangerous right now? which carries the most risk? >> i'm thinking about maybe bonds sometimes. i am not sure at the moment, but sometime rally and that would be it. i will call you tomorrow, okay? when i wake up. i will let you know. dagen: he gave us an answer, i will take bonds.
11:12 am
connell: could you make it between 11:00 and noon eastern? you like this new regime. >> so far so good. it is very hard to rise to the top. in america it is easy to rise to the top. in china it is very tough to rise to the top. a test test you and make you dol sort of things. 40 years later maybe you make it to the top. i wish we did it that way. dagen: you like living in asia? >> i am very pleased to be there. we are all very happy. miss all of you. dagen: you are tired, man. they get so much. connell: apple going to talk about apple coming up with this technology and the xbox from microsoft as it is developing the next generation of gadgets want to borrow from xbox?

11:26 am
it is an infection of the lining of the brain which causes headaches, high fever, stiff neck and sensitivity to light. it affects about 4000 americans every year. with 500 deaths. so it is pretty deadly. since march princeton has had an outbreak of a rare type of meningitis usually seen overseas. the number of cases has now reached seven. luckily no deaths so far. the most recent case is currently hospitalized and the treatment is intravenous antibiotics. there is a vaccine only available in europe and australia. the fda has now approved it for use at princeton and school officials and the cdc and department of health in new jersey are currently deciding whether to offer it to everyone. >> i could be the eighth person. at the same time there is a high percentage i never get it. so i just had to know more information before i could make a decision.

12:34 pm
cheryl: that is one of your top points. >> the reason they have 80% off, by the way they always have had really deep discounts is because they're trying to clear out some of that merchandise that was brought in under the old regime. in the fourth quarter they will probably be the cleanest they have been in a long time. it is not fair to compare this summer to the fourth quarter because they were clearing things out. that is unsustainable. but can they find the right balance between stuff on sale, stuff on clearance and still get the margins up? i think the trend is actually true. cheryl: you are in the positive camp. same-store sales, that is kind of small but we will give you that one. are you more positive on the online sales? >> the same thing has happened,
