so ask yourself, what'sn your wallet? ♪ you're just too good to be true♪ ♪ can't take my eyes off of you♪ >> i like that music, very good, can't take my eyes off you. google glass is getting an update, that would allow a picture -- allow people to take a picture when they wink. that creepy or cool? and first off my fed predictions. tres knippa is here. i say the fed will cut from 85 billion a month to 70 billion a month in january. that's my prediction, what do you say? >> i suppose it's possible. it's certainly not going to happen on the december meeting as ben bernanke sort of slips out of town here and creates a problem for janet yellen and lets her try to solve it.

you're going to see more of the same from the fed. any possibility of a tapering will be short-lived because janet yellen is going to be reactionary. you get the slightest bit of bad news and i told you before that when janet yellen takes office and when she leaves, when she leaves office, it will be higher than when it starts, that's a fact. stuart: the market might like your predictions more than mine. we'll see how it works out. tres knippa, that's interesting. check the big board, we're off and running and off about 10 points, 15-8, almost 15-9 is where we are. individual companies starting with fedex. they made more money than last year, but they missed expectations. the stock was down a lot more pre-market and now down a fraction. liz macdonald is here. i don't understand this, how come fedex missed expectations when we're in the middle of the high season of on-line shopping

at fedex and delivers it for us? >> that's right, cheaper ground deliveries, we're still in a slow motion recovery, so customers are using cheaper ground deliveries. here is the problem for fedex. remember, amazon hooked up with the u.s. postal service with seven-day ground delivery and they are seeing at fedex spikes down and overnight freight delivery. >> that's why. >> and that's why the stock is taking a hit this morning, cheap he-- cheaper ground deliveries. stuart: here is a company that's facing a union, the first union vote at a warehouse facility in delaware. you know, liz, that's not a big deal to me. it's just one-- >> yeah, it's just one, but you know, amazon has been facing a unionization threat for more than a decade now, and so this would be a foot in the door.

there's a petition in the national labor relations board for the guys who shipped to the centers, and the thinking here is people stand on their feet and they walk miles a day in the amazon shipping centers and should be unionized. i'll tell you something, amazon has an open-door policy with workers, if there's any problems go to amazon management so the management says, and they'll shut down shipping if there's a threat. stuart: keith, you're with us, i'm inclined to dismiss this at amazon, how about you? >> i'd be inclined to dismiss the reaction. they could pull a boeing. amazon has a history if things don't work their way, they'll close that center it elsewhere where people want to work. i think it's important because the company has traditionally said we're going to benefit millions of consumers as opposed to a small group of employees, that's a major battle with a lot of retailers

around the world. stuart: we've got it at 388 you don't particularly like it at that level. >> to me it's a little rich for my blood i'd like to see it pull back, but i'm watching it carefully m. if they get a foot in the door, that changes the ball game. stuart: i was wrong to dismiss it. thank you, liz and keith. and i want to get to the google story and the wink. they've got an upgrade. you wink and take the picture. and our resident tech guru. you showed us this thing. i think it's fantastic. stuart: so you think that this upgrade allowing google glasswarers to wink and take a picture? >> a little creepy. part of the concern with these devices take pictures and record people perhaps without them knowing it. a little lens you wear above

your eye, whenever you do it, you're seeing it. if you're looking at me you would see it's doing thing and however, you're activated generally with your voice. with this feature take a picture by the wink less notification and easier to take surreptitious pictures. stuart: it's a whole new can of worms. >> a whole new can of worms. what if you have something in your eye and taking pictures you don't want and the other step, google glasses by winking or blinking and what if you have something in your eye. stuart: or a twitch. some of us have a twitch. we used to call that-- >> and you'll have a lot of unwanted shoes in your wardrobe. >> the google's defense, it's smart product and learn people's language and vocalizations, i should say. and i think it might detect that stuff, we'll see. it's a work in progress. stuart: why do i feel we're in uncharted territory?

. you like that and i'm going to bring you back to reality. forbes calling netflix's deal to stream the "breaking bad" spin-off. they call it a game changers. the series will be available the date after the firrt season ends. keith still with us. netflix, king of streaming, do you like this development? >> i do. i actually think this brings netflix to a whole new level. i'm excited to see it. blurs the line between content division and acquisition. it's great for consumers and revenue particularly if they figure out how to change the model and do it with successive shows. it heralds a new era. stuart: jeremy you like the winking google glass. what do you think of netflix streaming the spin-off. >> a huge break through. this was a company a few years ago was distributing dvd's to us. and now they're making the-- >> i have forgotten that they used to deliver cd's. >> that's all they did.

stuart: was it just a couple of years ago on this program, you were the one who said that netflix will take over from h.b.o.? >> yeah, that people would basically replace their h.b.o. with netflix, apple and amazon a wakeup call to them. exclusive rights that netflix has for the prequel for breaking bad in europe and latin america, it's a big deal. stuart: we like everything today. the guy with the switch. >> one other point intriguing it, doing it with a show they already know the audience demand is there and that's even more, i think, a positive. stuart: okay. and stay on tech. yahoo! it's acquired a start-- going to acquire a start-up that helps people exchange content of pictures and download. exchange and sharing. keith, this company is transformed, it's not the company it was 18 months ago? >> you know, and i agree with you on that. and i totally missed this one frankly. i didn't think that yahoo!

would be able to pull it off. i stand here corrected and humbled. they're making changes that defied the market and ultimately very good for it. i've changed my opinion on yahoo! i still wouldn't own it, but changed my opinion on it. stuart: that mmrch to $40 a share has a lot to do with yahoo!'s stake in ali baba, the internet company from china, right? >> that's the key, that's the value to yahoo! for me and i think if there is a redeeming silver lining to yahoo! that's it. stuart: all right. we've got it all today, including this, hewlett-packard, the chief, meg whitman. she's going to get an annual pay raise, a pay raise to $1.5 million. currently she earns $1. nicole, the stock is up 90% this year, i guess she earned her money. >> she earned her money and i think the shareholders are happy with what meg whitman has done to this point. last year, it was down 45% and 18% in 2010.

basically in the last five years, only one year had an up arrow, financial stability she brought that goes from a dollar, a buck, just a buck, don't kid yourself. you know she got stock options, bonus, et cetera, but it's the concept and her phase now moves to $1 1/2 million. stuart: don't be so harsh. if you get the stock up 90%. >> 1 1/2 million seems chintzy for a company that is now doing well. when i think of the ceo's scooping up a lot of dough. stuart: and chintzy an expression to use? . and yahoo! a turn around by women, your thoughts. >> meg whitman did a turn around and now she has to capture the imagination of customers with top devices as microsoft is also trying to do.

and as for yahoo! change in the direction away from the division of being the global search engine to displace google and now about a content provider with recent acquisition, and hiring katie couric and to you. >> good point that females are doing this. and a lot of it is public perception especially for yahoo! which had a bad rep for a while. didn't deserve it or earn it and made changes and this is one. stuart: and kaplan, your political correctness is just too much. >> i apologize and i'll say cruel things the next time. stuart: ford is down big, the company announced lower profit outlook and that always gets a stock and says the long-term global outlook is at risk. whoa. investors don't like that. that thing is down 5%. a big move for a company like that. check the big board, now we're up 44 points, maybe investors like my prediction or tres

majority owned from china just started trading. the stock is up 19.59. the offer price is 18. it's up 8%. if that price holds it will be yet another successful ipo in this year 2013. all right, the dow is up 47. where is the price of gold hanging around? 1230 per ounce virtually unchanged. and then the home builder lennar, the stock up 4%. disappointing profits at general mills, they say that ingredient costs are going up and the stock is 2%. 3 c1 and super bowl 48 less than two months away. a lot of people who live near the game are trying to rent their homes. home away lists your home and helps you rent it out. joining us is the ceo of home away and see if i've got it right. i've got a house near the stadium in new jersey and i put

that house on your website. i advertise it on your website and you try to rent it out for me. you take a piece of the rental price if i successfully rent it, is that right? >> well, that's true. historically, most people are renting it for a year and pay a subscription fee. recently we have a way for people to list where they pay a flat 10% and that tends to work well for events like the super bowl in new jersey. stuart: i want some examples for the people who do not live near new jersey. i want you to show me what do i get for, say, $1500 a night? >> well, i don't know if our folks have cued up pictures. stuart: they have. >> the average is about $1,000 a night for a three to four-bedroom house for that price point you can probably expect, a typical suburban three-bedroom house just because of your lead-in, a quick check on my iphone,

there's one property that's $17,000 a night. stuart: what we're looking at now, is a house in montclaire new jersey, 1500 bucks a night and i'm just trying to show our viewers what you get if you want to rent a place fairly near to the super bowl stadium. the key point is not what you get, but how close to the stadium you are. that's the big deal, isn't it? >> well, i think it's that, it's also just the ability for groups of people to go and stay together, so these houses tend to be popular either with groups of people, maybe from a corporation or just groups of buddies who want to go to the game and all stay in the same house and sit in the same living room during game time. so, there's a real markettfor this kind of an accommodation. stuart: sure is. your pr people have given us the example of $5,000 per night place and we're going to put the pictures up right now. this is a little bit, i'm not going to say palatial, but

grand, we'll say in demmerest 1 new jersey. are there takers at $5,000 a night? >> oh, most certainly will be. what you find with events like the super bowl there will be a rush to the door once we know what teams are going to be in the game. so, there's probably a lot available today, but we typically find once the super bowl participants are announced they get booked up quickly regardless of the price point. stuart: if i wanted to rent out my house, i've got to take the pictures and get it all to you, i do all the marketing in fact. basically, is that correct? >> yeah, you put the listing together. that's correct. stuart: how is business so far? and about the super bowl? i goes you figure it's going to pick up when you find out which teams are in it, i go guees. >> if the homes list for 800,000 around the world for the super bowl a few hundred

properties with respect to that game. with respect to home away it's a smart part of our business, for people in the region, a lot of folks will go away for a week and make quite a bit of income, we like that. stuart: we appreciate that. thank you for coming by and wish you the best of luck with the super bowl. good stuff. >> appreciate it. stuart: thanks, brian. last week i went to the mall and it was a hellish experience. never again. my take on that and why on-line is king after this. ♪ i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year♪ that's the spirit. ♪ bring us some figgy pudding. and bring it out here♪ you want christmas pudding already?

i know what i want, and i go get it. not this time. what i want is out of stock. so i look for the only other store in the mall that is likely to have what i am looking for. now, i'm not familiar with the layout of the mall and of course, i get lost. i'm getting a little frazzled, but eventually i enter the promised land. i find the item and i try to buy it, not so fast. there is a line. a long line. the checkout guy is new to the job, he really needs help with the computer. half an hour later, i have finally completed the purchase. gift wrapped, sir? yes, please. that line over there. no thanks. i'm gone. i'm done. what i've set out to do and i'm going home. that was my mall shopping experience. it will not be repeated. i get home, i vent to the family. what do you want, dad? asks my teenage daughter. i tell her.

she logs on, click, click, it's yours, dad, be here in two days, free shipping. now, that's my kind of shopping. and now you know why on-line is where it's at. my mantra? family first. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive,

i saw my doctor. a blood test showed was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron. the only underarm low t treatment that can restore a blood test showed was low testosterone, not age. t levels to rmal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not fouse in women or anyone younger than8 or men with prostate or breast caer. and children should avoidare contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puber in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medication serious side effects could include increased risk decreased sperm count; ankle, feet or body swelling; enlarged or painful breasts; problems breathing while eeping; and blood cls in the legs. common side effects include skin redss or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron.

company. amc theaters started trading last hour. at stock is up, the price is 18, now is 1936. look at how home movie theater stocks have fed this year. regal entertainment is up 48%. national city media is up 34%. cinema up 25%. do you like a emcee or any of these movie theater chains? charles: i got to look into it. when they take some private and they have been private five or six years i haven't had a chance to do any work on it. i have tried most of these in the last couple years and they have done extraordinarily well. cinema is up 320% from january. we are in see casey, something we don't have on the screen, another cinema play up 280% since january of last year.

amazing these but the trend. at some point you can buy on demand. they would be on the verge of being a coburn erred. one thing they have been able to do, inflation is amazing in those completions. they make a lot of money. we still enjoy the experience. stuart: $18 for a large popcorn and drinks. charles: not counting the tickets themselves. ticket prices are amazing when holiday says we have a record year, a record year end camera -- dam capitalism all the way through. stuart: if you buy tickets on concessions at those prices, by the stock because people are buying it. check the big board. look at this.

look at that. i will give you my prediction. it will cut the money printing from $85 billion a month to $70 billion a month starting in january. that is my prediction. up your prediction is all it is. charles, do you care? charles: i wish the fed never existed. i wish they would go away. i do care. everyone is afraid of the fed, get out of the market. the fed is in a dangerous position. if they say that their role is to help the economy and you have all these signs the economy has turned a corner no one is talking a double dip recession, really robust housing numbers out today, jobs numbers getting better. why are you still going to these extraordinary measures to do this? it doesn't make sense. stuart: there is no immediate downside. no inflation.

charles: a $4 trillion balance sheet is a ticking time bomb. i grant you we never know when it goes off but it is worse than the san andreas fault, we don't know when it blows but when it does -- everyman for himself. stuart: they cut the amount of money they print very slowly. charles: for ben bernanke it would be a victory lap. my work is done and i hand this to janet and did a good job. stuart: we slicken to ben and janet. look at it as a love please. california will give tesla a $34 million tax break to expand production of electric cars and power trains in the formerly golden state. do you think that is going to be well spent? charles: it is a unique position. they have bet more on electricity and solar panels

than any other state. they were able to retrofit plant closed by a company that went out of business and created jobs. most states do this stuff. in california there was a time when companies like to as low wanted to be in california but if they wanted to keep the teslas of the world, lower the income tax on people and businesses in general. you don't have to cherry pick the companies you want to keep. stuart: take a look at big names in technology. start with apple. it is down pretty big today. tell me why. nicole: the idea is everybody has been hot on apple. hard to say why it is to the downside. there is talk about china mobile. the traders working on solidifying the deal. that uncertainty may be looming but the good news is jpmorgan raise the target to $615 up from

600 and goes on sale tomorrow and the last three month have been great for apple, 22% gain. stuart: down 7 points today. thanks very much. look at google, it has updated the google glass so that if you swing, you are taking a picture, no impact on stock, up $5 on a thousand dollar writedown. any comment? don't wink at me. charles: that photograph right now -- stuart: what if i twitched? do loud cellphone talkers drive you crazy? they do me. our next guest found a way to put them in their place. look at this. >> i don't have a sister. it is great. i am on the phone with somebody, i don't mean to be rude.

stuart: that video going viral all over the internet. we have the creator with us, greg benson from mediocre films joins the company. of very good idea. you got some so many people making fools of themselves, you sit next to them and pretend to be part of the conversation. did anybody get nasty with you? >> this is a pretty positive prank. i had people get nasty with me on other pranks but not this one. it is pretty harmless. stuart: that is what you do for living. professional prankster, make these skits and put the money usetube and make money. that is what you do. >> it is the greatest job in the world. stuart: would you recommend other ppople doing precisely the same thing with loud cellphone talkers? >> not for a business but for the fun of it absolutely. it is one of the most fun things i have done in public and i used

to doing all the time without videotaping it but i figured it was time to get this on video. stuart: you are a natural born prankster. that is not the only video you have done. here is one where you visit your facebook friends in real-life. look at this for a second. >> brian! greg benson, your face book friend! >> oh! >> greg benson, your face book friend. i just thought i would drop by, see if we could actually be friends in person. >> i can't let you in. stuart: everybody has face book friends who are not friends at all and you go visit them. that is what you did. >> yes. i looked at my face book friends and realized i have hundreds if not over a thousand friends that i have never met because of what i do, it is very public and people friend me and i thought it would be fun to run into
