dagen: thank you, hope you have a wonderful night and we will see you in 2014. ending 2013 on a positive note, a new fox news poll shows majority of american voters say it was a good year or even feeling more upbeat going into 2014. up, up and away, home prices, case-shiller report shows home prices up more than 13% in the last year, that is the biggest jump since february of '06. we are already looking down the barrel of the first snowstorm of the new year, and tim tebow is not back on the football field. coming up on this hour of "markets now" three a." can't wait for the ball to drop here in new york city on the east coast, a good day, final day of 2013.

a look at shanghai. that is a celebration, lots of lights, major crowds, enjoy. shanghai, china, new york city, almost in the heart of times square in new york city and preparations getting underway. the barricades are already up and a million people will cram the heart of new york city. there is a look, ringing in the new year and a happy new year to all of you. stocks on track to set another record on the final day of 2013. lauren: it looks like stocks want to go out with a bang. could be the 52nd record close for the dow industrials this year. going through a new intraday high. yesterday they didn't do that, but they might today. closing at another record high. hitting any record high today.

the nasdaq is up. looking at all 10 sectors positive this year. the discretionary sector up 40%, health care up nearly 40%, the less time they had been in the green was back in 2010 so really a broad-based year of gains. twitter stocks seeing green after two days of serious selling down 18% over the past two days getting back some of that momentum. twitter had been a volume leader on thursday, 3 million shares changed. a lot yesterday, so the momentum definitely picking up once again today. back to you. dagen: thank you, we will see you shortly. a majority of americans have a positive view of this year. a new fox news poll shows 51% of the voters feel 2013 was a good year for the families up from

42% who said the same thing last year. what to make of this and the new year. cohost of the independence errinairing on the fox business network at 9:00 p.m. business time. good to see you. the economy is not so bad, better than it was a year ago to the point people are not feeling better about their own situations. >> unemployment 7.8% a year ago today, now down to seven, the growth rate 2.8, now 4.1 and those figures on the news as opposed to the fiscal cliff and all these sort of disasters in washington keeping us in suspense where we can barely keep our champagne chilled. both have left people feeling more optimistic than a year ago. dagen: people just don't give a flying you know what was what

happens in d.c. as long as it doesn't impact their own personal situation. >> the same level of optimism and 2013 as we did in 2011. was it because they took the pole in december? all of the news was coming out of washington, fiscal cliff and government shutdown. people bumming you wrote, so your poll numbers go down. look at these things i have completely different ideas with their own situation will be go good. these should not be partisan numbers but 77% of democrats think next year will be good. 50% of democrats. republicans think it will be bad. depending on where you are actually at, which makes me think it is having to do out of it not necessarily state of well-being. dagen: midterm elections are coming up so you will see a lot of negative campaigning assuming

what happens with obamacare. how does that way on peoples psyche and well-being. >> it is posite positive to seee numbers after terrible, disastrous year with obama. dagen: i don't knock any precedentprecedent for going on. >> i was in california for 16 days, so i don't begrudge you that. in any case, it really fascinating a year from now if the good economic news gives the democrats something positive to talk about in the polls versus obamacare, which will continue to unravel and negative unintended consequences and maybe this gives them a balance which they did not seem like they had even a month ago. connell: the good economic news is still pretty limited. still talking about wall street. the long-term labor force

participation rate is still terrible, worse than 1978's a lot of people are feeling pain and will get the obamacare. dagen: don't underestimate record stock prices. people look at their 401(k) statement at the end of the year, they will look right about now. connell: it does not affect everybody out there. it is going to affect consumer confidence positively, but only so much unless it starts actually coming up in employment figures. the matter if the unemployment figures are down. dagen: biggest problem, what do you think it will be? >> employer mandates take in for obamacare, not just the self-employed people. you're going to have people small companies and big companies losing policies and the madness will continue. it will be fallacious as 2014

unfolds. connell: things people can't plan what they're doing in the future, that is the problem. dagen: congratulations on the new show. thank you so much. now on the housing market, you know why people might feel good? the value of their home is going up. they check it, it is recovering. case-shiller home price report. peter barnes from washington with more on those numbers. peter: single-family home prices rose to 10 sub 1% in october, less than expected according to the case-shiller house monthly index. but post the strongest annualized gain in more than seven years up 13.6%, the biggest year-over-year increase since february 2006 back in the bubble days.

one of the authors of the report says don't expect that to continue in 2014, but also don't worry about a new housing bubb bubble. monthly numbers show we are living on borrowed time as the boom is fading because price increases are getting smaller month to month. predicting closer to historical averages. the key question for housing in 2014 is a federal reserve efforts to keep mortgage rates low to be quantitative easing bond pprchases, which it is starting to taper. prices in 20 cities in the index rose year-over-year compared to a gain in las vegas and 20% or so gain in three california markets, all of them were hit hard in the housing crisis but don't call these increases a sign of a bubble to come, that was caused, he says, in part by sub prime and zero down payment

mortgages which lenders don't offer many of these days. dagen: zero down payment was great, you don't put any of your money at risk. peter, thank you so much for that. happy new year, be well. we are joined now the phone by the editor of the gloom, boom and doom report. happy new year, good to talk to you. >> happy new year to you and all of your listeners. dagen: thank you very much. you were a man with all the money being pumped out by central banks who had worried about inflation. instead of gold, one not borrow money and buy a house? that is a great that if you think inflation is going to take off. >> thought it might be an idea, but had the idea two years ago and wrote about it at the end of

2011, home prices in atlanta were cheaper, offering a great opportunity. i don't think it is offering a great opportunity, stock prices and political implications of both prices going up. but i can assure you first of all according to a gallup poll, only 52% of americans own directly or indirectly stock, although 5% owned 72% of all the financial assets, the rising stock prices affecting the majority. they have no impact on the ordinary american. the home prices, a lot of people lost their home, now they have

the pleasure to go and rent homes with rising rent. so they use the disposable income did well done, mr. bernanke. dagen: do you blame ben bernanke for that? let me step back, why are people according to this poll, why are they feeling better this year than they were a year ago in america? >> america has this quality of being very optimistic about the future, america involves everything. the reality that if you analyze why the economy has improved, it has been coming down on paper, but in actual fact the unfunded liabilities are running at something like $6 billion per year. money printing, if you're

printing enough money, it falls to someone. they go and spend, and so everybody benefits somewhat, but i have to say somewhat. dagen: if you bought gold, you lost a quarter of your investment. what do you tell those people? hold on, you will make it back in the new year? >> i am just saying basically people who are disciplined, diversified asset strategy, some real estate, some in gold, some inequities, you would fare better than to buy high and sell low. dagen: that was very sound advice for this year, the new year and any year.

mark, happy new year again, we hope to see you very soon. very clean, very polite. dagen: be well, my dear. thank you very much. residents in a southeastern, north dakota town evacuating after a plane explodes sending toxic fumes into the air. details on that story. not because he is back on the field. and she is the biggest winner in the price is right daytime history. why is that woman freaking out? we will tell you coming up.

growth was down 18% each year, that is going to make a major reversal of 15, 20%. the stock itself already breaking out. in the third quarter had a record amount of new orders year-over-year, i just see this company being on an amazing move to the upside and it is all about the entire planet, mostly doing oil refineries, those type of things. two in russia, one for refinery in kuwait. they have three projects in saudi arabia and three on a steam gasping. in argentina, this is just since the october quarter began. dagen: we talked about you are part owner of the business when you invest in the stock. i have been fascinated by businesses like this because the logistics of executing and executing well and growing like that in countries with a myriad of problems is just astonishing with these companies can do.

marijuana could become big business for big pharma with more states looking to follow colorado and washington's lead and the legalize the drug for recreational and medical use. so will traditional drug companies blaze a new trail? joining me now with more, director of pharma research. number one, do you think nationwide marijuana will be legalized? ultimately that would drive big business getting into it, right? >> when i think about pain management and the challenges in the drug industry develop the next generation, there has been a lot of setbacks, so to me when you look at trying to embrace different techniques, i think there is a lot of evidence that supports using marijuana for pain management and because of all of the challenges we have seen so far in drug development for other alternatives, it opens the door for that potential.

dagen: this is a question, not a statement, what would keep big pharma out of development getting into the marijuana business so to speak? they have trouble with abuse of the painkillers that are used today, with that prevents the big companies from may be getting into this business? >> i think so, that could really limit the interest by big pharma. there is a handful of key players in key management already. and having that sort of turned in place to stop folks from using it inappropriately is a big headwind from those who want to potentially get more into management. the other side of the coin as well, also keeping pharmaceutical firms at bay is there is more of a focus toward immunology, areas of high unmet medical need and i really think that is where a lot of the

dollars are going for research and development away from pain come more toward the other therapeutic areas. dagen: are the other companies that could be a more suitable fit for the business of marijuana? >> when you shift toward the specialty pharma players, think about like endo. these players are more likely to be more interested in pain management and go down the path, that might be okay for them to maybe be a bit more risky with the deterrent of maybe using marijuana and other off label settings. they may be more okay with that, they may see it as a big pr risk versus the specialty pharma that may be more willing to take on that risk. dagen: interesting conversation

momentum. going into 2014 let's kick off the first showdown with the ceo of chadwick financial advisers and scott marden, chief market strategist at fox news contributor. you say we are heading for dow 20,000 and you will make the act based on what? >> based on the fact they already have them in position. listen, it is one of those things you need to look at when considering a valuation. i won't say the market is cheap here. i don't think it is expensive on irresolute term but it is cheap versus other assets and that is the whole thing. if you are up pile of cash walking down the street, that is a really cool image, you will go one of three places coming into bonds, commodities and the those things have been smoked in 2013. you don't want to go near those for the equity party being new year's eve and that is where people will go. there's a lot of retail money on

the sidelines, a lot of doubters, nonbelievers. that will keep the market going until people are convinced. cheryl: you are not a believer at all. i don't know what you will be doing, the eeuity party. where will you be? you don't like stocks in 2014. >> i will be at a party but i will be very cautious heidi play assets. i disagree on the valuation metrics. people are behaving on an emotional level, chasing what is working right now. the valuation perspective i am very cautious. whenever we reach these valuation levels historically it is pretty ugly moving forward. cheryl: pretty ugly going forward. >> it was mentioned in the previous statement, the tech sector, that is up 30% from

industrials, pharma which we talked about, up 30%, this is a broad base rally and anything about the valuation is trailing or futureing, we are in the midteens, not necessarily expensive, back in the 90s more than that. in 2007 it was more than that and your bond portfolio in the balance allocation was way overvalued, at 14% and they have--and only three and you tell me someone will go out and choose blondes instead of stocks, i don't think so. would argue a lot of things are expensive. we are and global asset bubble. bonds are expensive, stocks are expensive, commodities expensive, they got beaten up but we wonder why with all the money printing going on across the world's top gold, silver, and they should all be doing really well.

to his point, in 2007-99 things were more expensive but today things cannot be considered cheap by any metric. corporate profits as a percentage of gdp are as high as they have ever been. last year was a wonderful year. this is not sustainable. not even close. cheryl: what is your concern. you are pointing a good thing, corporate profits looking strong in 2013 as we go to the final quarter. what is your worry here about 2014? what will take the party off the rails? >> here is my concern. corporate profits are high from a historic perspective. on average corporate profits have been 6% gdp, almost double that. they are not sustainable. corporations have been doing a great job cutting their expenses, cutting their people, their costs, moving jobs and production overseas, profits look strong but only sell much you can cut. lot of top line growth, how will

we get increasing profits year over year? cheryl: scott making a strong point companies, the numbers they have been making because they have been cutting back on employees. good point. >> there point. give him one there. also corporate balance sheets are healthier than they have never been. corporate profits are up but also doing great job on the balance sheets. look at the financial collapse. an area i have hated for years convinced me to buy some because their balance sheets look pretty robust. that is the other thing. if you are looking at corporations the cycle is starting. they are pulling out of what mike was talking about, cutting the bone, starting to hire and spend money on tax, r&d, that will be less the next couple years as hiring comes back and wages might rise sparking inflation which on the release cycle is good for real assets. cheryl: the point is good about wage growth. >> in the high end all for a

wealthy consumers doing great. the consumer who is struggling in the middle class, we won't see a big boom in our economy because our economy based 70% on the consumer spending and consumers are kept out. corporations are in good shape, they have done a lot of refinancing of loans. another thing to think about, corporations refinancing great rates, liberation of all from all across the board they cannot stay here. we are in a good equity environment, asset prices are high, mainly due to easing money policies which never allow -- what did easy money due to the housing market? what disease in many do? they don't behave responsibly. this easy money party does not end well, not even close. cheryl: we have together back in one year and see who is right. you are saying forget it, this will be a big bone in 2014. one of you is great. thank you very much, happy new

year. from markets we move to housing. we are looking at where you should invest in the new year coming up. we have got not two, not three, four guests to tell you why we should buy in their city. in won't miss this one. i you looking for love on line? you may have the best luck this time of year. as we go to break take a look at the new year from bangkok, thailand, just ringing in the new year, fabulous evening in thailand and a nice day in new york city. we will be right back.

jones industrial average. it gets better if you look at the s&p. the s&p for the year at this point up 29% and the nasdaq actually 5 percentage basis points, a bigger story. look at the nasdaq, 4170. you are looking at a gain of 37% and change and we have a few hours of trading to go. hang out with all of us today. stocks every 15 minutes, on the floor of the stock exchange, lauren simonetti social networking stocks which we have been talking about every day redounding right now. >> if you look at names like twitter, down 18% in those two days but coming back you see twitter a 6%. yesterday there was up you research center poll that said no more u.s. adults used linkedin and twitter. i am not one of them but that is what they are doing. names like linkedin, almost 1%.

i should mention the number of hours and minutes they are engaged on those sites is bigger on twitter. nevertheless facebook, momentum stocks this year for shore and momentum stocks today up 1.5%. so the names that got hit pretty hard making a come back today as with the broader market. cheryl: see you at the bottom of the hour. we are getting breaking news into fox business, just getting this, white house official, over 2 million americans have enrolled in health care coverage through the web site healthcare.gov and state health care websites according to u.s. administration officials speaking with reuters, just getting breaking news into fox business. we will keep you posted if we get new data from each of those states. speaking of going online, this time of year many americans are looking for love.

online dating sites are seeing the biggest spike in activity in the weeks between thanksgiving and new year's eve, reporting a 26% increase in the weeks following christmas and another popular 7% increase. according to industry experts it, over the holidays, traffic is also off of work. during the government shutdown in october when 800,000 government employees were furloughed , member activity increased 110%. something to do. the government shutdown not having a big effect on the u.s. economy this year. we continued to chug along so are we on the right track. two of my personal favorites, do not see eye to eye on this one. we will figure out coming up. as we go to break, new zealand

welcomed the new year earlier today. as we go to break, after some fireworks, how the world's for currencies are faring against the u.s. dollar.

cheryl: we are going to talk about your moves. all our guests are going to be the the hot topics involving your money going into the new year. let's get to the next showdown. americans are feeling better about the economy. according to the latest fox news poll 51% of people thought 2013 was a good year up from 34% four years ago. 54%, the economy will fare even better in 2014. will these feelings last going into the new year? let's bring in crist dorsey of economic policy institute joining us from washington d.c.

and fox news's contributor and president of orlandoflorida -- let's start with you. with regards to the economy you say this is a fake economy, nothing israel about the economy. what do you mean? >> all of this is on the back of the fed printing money, getting ten year yields down from 1-1/4%. it is back to 3. i want to see what the economy does when things are normalized and the fed is out of the way. i don't think the economy can stand on its own from here and the economy is just ok, nothing gargantuan, better than it was a year ago but i do believe it is on the back of what the fed has been doing. cheryl: what do you see that is good? >> we have momentum, things are moving much better but let's not get it twisted. we have not yet recovered from where we were four years ago so people are right to feel good and people are right to hit feel hopeful that tomorrow will be better but what none of us

should believe that is smooth sailing ahead. there are a lot of things that are hurting ourselves in terms of economic growth. cheryl: like what? >> we are underinvesting in this country at historic levels because we were so preoccupied with the debt congress and the president's gets together, conspiring to reduce spending and investments that grow the economy and that cooked in for the next couple years, a terrible mistake by congress and the president. cheryl: at the same time the thing that helped the stock market again, dow up 26% year to date as we go into in the the close. the markets are doing well. the fed has been working in that fixing of money and they're pulling back 10 billion we should say. >> short-term and medium-term it has absolutely worked. i worry about the long-term. if you go to the printing of

money, it never ended up well, this is the first time going forward. a couple points on the market. two best examples i can think of in the dow, boeing is up 100%, earnings growth only 10%, 3 m up 45%, earnings growth of 3%, valuations getting stretched but i got to debate a little bit here about this spending by government. my friend, government is spending more money on a yearly basis than they have never in history. let me finish. there was a fly on an elephant's but, this little sequester. they're spending left and right, talk about investing it should be the other way around. get government out of the way, let businesses flourish, let americans flourish and get out of the way, too much not too little. not 17 trillion debt out there affecting the economy, short, intermediate and long-term.

>> is not news that the government spends more than it used to. everybody spends more than they used to. there is such a thing called inflation. not really relevant. what really matters is the percentage of the economy and as a percentage of the economy we are spending at historic lows and that hurts growth. that next issue is whether or not the economy can survive without government support. >> on that we agree. it doesn't mean that the fed has to do quantitative easing, what it does mean is it invests in things that get the economy going. >> in 2008 the government spent $2.7 trillion, 2013, $3.7 trillion. i am sorry, those numbers you are talking about don't work. i believe government is too big, too bloated and we were told about certain costs about the affordable care act, there's nothing affordable about it. that is the next element in the

room as we move forward, another big worry on the economy. i want them out of the way. cheryl: i am out of time with you both. some monitors where you are sitting by want to show this promo. you are in your boxers today. happy new year to you both and your families. thank you very much. working to buy a home in the new year, four leading housing experts are going to battle it out to convince you the fair city is the best coming up next. and miley cyrus battling to stay relevant this year but when university helping to ban the word she helped popularize coming up. x÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

cheryl: stocks every 15 minutes, let's head to the stock exchange, lauren simonetti, atheist ought not taking any rest as we go into the final close of the year. >> talking about target specifically. look at the chart. it is up 1%, level 6317. as if this major security breach hasn't affected the stock price at all. a couple names going up. window dressing today, target is down 14% from a 52 week high. there might be some moving to be had. still to the upside, in

minneapolis, a gift card, 40,000 of them purchased over the holidays, they weren't processed correctly. thinking they got a target gift card for christmas, without going through a headache and fixing it yourself, another headache in addition to that security breach, the stock is doing fine. cheryl: thank you, we will see you very soon throughout the afternoon. home prices on the rise across the country. the case schiller report showing prices up 13% in the last year. the biggest jump since february of 2006 but not all cities fairing the same. some are a better investment than others and our next guest say you should buy in fair neighborhoods and they are here to tell you why. kerri chris is in new york, greg rand in charlotte, n.c. rodney anderson in dallas, texas and bob massey in sin city, las

vegas. what is going on? why is vegas the place to buy? >> investors right now are not as aggressive as they were a few months ago when hedge funds were pretty active but what happened as reported prices of gone up so investors have backed off a little bit but those who did buy are now renting out homes which is a big business in our city. the lenders sort of playing a little game because prices are up so they're getting tough on foreclosed properties and short sales. not the same as it was a few months ago but there will be opportunities for investment. cheryl: i won't say as far as prices go year-over-year up 27%, the highest percentage gained. that is happening in las vegas but you got a challenge from rodney anderson who basically says, quote, we would like to welcome all of you to the united states of texas. >> that is right. housing is growing like crazy.

we have a strong economy, great job growth, no state income tax and a lot of house for your money in the texas kerri and look at these homebuilder stocks the last several weeks, d. r. horton up 35% in three weeks so you would think that everybody is jumping into housing as a big play in the texas market. cheryl: medium home prices balanced where you are, $181,000, that is free. let's move to charlotte, look at charlotte, year over year prices up 8%. you like charlotte, you are pushing the market, why? >> i moved here this summer so i experienced as a representative of investors on a national scale and as a home buyer. rodney understands our best friend in the southeast, the governments in the northeast and west coast. charlotte -- we are the

second-largest financial center in the country and the no. one financial center in the country, new york, just elected the occupy wall street mayor. this guy ran on a message of a tale of two cities and every ceo on the financial services side in new york, how much it costs them to operate but now they're waiting for the next hammer to fall. we are approaching a tipping point where you will see a major exit as of financial institutions coming down to charlotte because we have the critical mass of bank of america and others and others things that kick in, wally of life, cost of living and haven't paid a toll in six months. cheryl: talking about bill deblasio taking over in new york city, good times for everybody to pay taxes in this city but as far as new york goes, the prices have been fairly flat over the last year for new york, new york doesn't make a cake. >> i love the new york market. i live here and it is an interesting market because it is a more stable market

financially. when you think about the high percentage of properties here that are co-ops you have to have more down payment. cheryl: $400,000. you hear that? >> here is what is happening. sales increased third quarter this year over third quarter last year by 30%. the median price dropped slightly. that is good news. what that says to us is the first time home buyers are buying, those millennials we love so much are buying smaller apartments. cheryl: is that true of somebody who left new york? >> it is true about the fact that home prices stable rather than volatile. talk about your rear prices being paid%. we look at it over the last 17 years north carolina or charlotte specifically has been up shy of 4% every year the last 17 years. connell: let me do a comparison.

for $500,000 in las vegas you have a 7,000 square foot home right now. let's get real. i understand that but the bottom line is the fact that in vegas, greg was saying about texas, investors right now still love the vegas market. the thing that is happening here is new homes are selling. the developers have put in their own financing where they are getting 20% down. they have good buyers coming in, selling off the loans after but we have a good situation. the problem we have in vegas is we still have this shadow inventory. inventory in default, still in low issues, short sales so the market is not as stable as we want it to be. that will change when lenders let properties go. it is good for home buyers but still investors are backing off as i said earlier.

cheryl: go ahead. >> what i was going to say is we don't have those issues. we have 4.6 million, 4.6% of people under water on homes unlike vegas and a lot of areas. our foreclosure rates are so low down here so we are not dealing with those problems. we are dealing with inventory issues. i talked to the best realtors in the dallas-fort worth area yesterday and they said their phones are ringing off the hook. i but for 8% to 10% appreciation growth in the texas area especially the dallas-fort worth area this next year. that is a lot of money in real-estate. cheryl: a good point to be made about foreclosures, 618 in charlotte. vegas vs. charlotte, on the same level. pretty high. >> these are short-term things. we invest in vegas. every city we like our cities in america but the problem, housing

market reject volatility. the west coast including vegas has been a roller coaster the last ten years. one thing, when i hear rodney pre dictate present time would not want to see 8% appreciation one year in texas. that is uncharacteristic and if you get 8% we won't see 8% continuously in the carolinas. we should go back to the 5% annual and democrats and republicans, wartime, peacetime, low rates, high rates. cheryl: what is crazy is to take this over to rodney, there could be a bubble building in texas. >> absolutely not. the reason being home builders did not build from 2008 until 2010. every person qualifies for a mortgage. when you walk into a new subdivision your neighbor qualifies. the person to less qualified. the present to the right. also remembers this.

fannie mae was not auditing many loans. now fannie mae is auditing 100% of all mortgages within a six day period so lenders won't have to deal with rejects, buybacks and you will see lower foreclosure rates over it the next couple years in decades. cheryl: next time you come back talk about which city is more fun. we will do that next week. happy new year. see you guys soon. some key tax breaks set to expire tomorrow. a whole new profit added to the books. doug schoen and scott hodge are here with what you need to know and if they agree on where taxes will go next year. also coming but, $100 a barrel oil, is that nothing of the fast? phil flynn with his 2014 outlook. as we go to break shanghai, china celebrating the new gear. . welcome back. how is everything?

last year we ran yelling the fiscal cliff, at the stroke of midnight. this year a bit quieter but there are some expiration's that could hit you square in the wallet. joining me, fox news contributor and democrats strategist doug shoen. welcome. what are you most concerned about, one thing that will hit our viewers tomorrow that you say watch out? >> for anyone who travels or commutes by mass-transit, they will lose considerable tax subsidy for those commuters in the monthly value to be reduced from $245 to $130 and that could cost the typical commuter $1,400 a year in lost tax subsidies. meanwhile if you drive the value will stay at $250 so there's a huge inequity between those who take mass transit and those who drive to work. cheryl: all about driving with you drive to work or not. i take the subway.

talk about the obamacare taxes. >> a lot of people will be surprise on april 15th because there is a 3-.8% tax on high income. people on investment income so bottom line we have a few hours left, not much time to talk to your tax adviser about what to do with your portfolio to maximize gains and losses for individual situations. cheryl: talking about portfolio losses but also middle-class americans will be hit if they do not enroll in obamacare. >> there are penalties if you don't sign up, costs if you do end you have to know what you are signing up for because there are doubts about the extent of coverage. cheryl: $95 is the fee if you don't sign up for obamacare. that is 2% of your income over a certain threshold. this is going to affect millions of americans.

>> it certainly will and the irs is trying to figure out how to implement the new tax and that fee but there is a stealthy or stealth attacks, the $8 billion tax on health insurance companies that will be pro rated on to the various health insurance companies based on their market share and that will get passed on directly to health-insurance purchasers, those of us who are consumers and that will be a stiff penalty on all of us who own health insurance. >> we have to do something to equalize insurance that is provided by employers and those individuals provide for themselves, one is deductible and the other isn't. doesn't make a lot of sense. cheryl: there are interesting deductions we will be losing, the deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses, that expires, being able to donate money, forget charity,

you can't not donate money ira tax-free account, that will expire. retirees using that. there are lots of shares. >> exactly right. a lot of these little things, people just take advantage of and don't know they are cam prairie. all of a sudden they wake up tomorrow and not be able to take advantage of it. another hidden tax break that is expiring is for those people whose houses are under water and right now for the loan forgiveness banks give them, that was considered non taxable. tomorrow that will be taxable income for the total amount the bank forgives of your loan and that could hit people pretty steep the next time they go to pay taxes. cheryl: because the fed has been going after jpmorgan and wells fargo and everything else. legal fees alone -- these homeowners -- >> they will separate and scott

raises a general point. we need real tax reform in this country, lower rates, minimize deductions, keep charitable in housing but bottom line we got to rationalize a system that is out of control. cheryl: there are some tax breaks expiring. there's a three year write-off for sayre rate -- >> i am not in that line of work. cheryl: you all right with that? >> that will be allowed to expire. there is no education and capitol hill to keep that one or some of the energy tax credits for electric motor cycles and putting -- replacing -- cheryl: what we are seeing under motor race tracks. we don't care about that but tv productions as well. you are hollywood stars fading away. >> my career was going to be

made. thank you very much. had been new year. let's take a look at the oil contract. oil is adding to yesterday's losses under $100 a barrel mark but we are still on track, and 8% gain for oil for the year. phil flynn, $100 a barrel, never going to happen, joining me from the pits of the cme. what is going on? >> i never want to say never but $100 a barrel to be forgotten and never brought to mind? in the new year, ought to be a rare thing to see. the u.s. is going to produce 1 million barrels more oil this year than they did last year, the year after that another million barrels. that is enough to wipe out three quarters of the opec's countries. cheri increase in production will take off line and at the same time we're being more efficient when it comes to energy demand. $100 a barrel very rare next year might be a thing of the past. let's look at the rest of the market, today, gasoline today,

word from aaa today, aaa says guess what? gasoline prices is here are the lowest they have been since 2010 but they end on a sour note, the highest price for gasoline on a new year ever because the win/loss at the end of the year the trend is lower. cheryl: another reason not to drive on new year's eve. what are you doing tonight? >> i might stay up until 8:30. maybe 9:00. i am a real excited guy. drop a ball at the top of my house and dropped it down. right at midnight. cheryl: phil flynn, thank you. good times. oil losses we are talking about with phil flynn, we will keep on the markets as far as natural gas goes, looking at all the different things, commodities that are moving but a lot of temperatures coming in that will

be pretty chill. i am talking cold, bundle up if you are in the northeast, you will need your sweater and your jacket or you could stay home. there's another option. 2013 coming 2 an end. we want to reflect on the year. the most annoying words of 2013 he. lake superior state university compiling a list of words that should be banished from the english language. here are the top three. coming and 1 selfy, this describes the popular trend of taking a photo of yourself. number 2, torquing, miley cyrus doing that, apparently we exhausted the word. number 3 hash tag, a word or phrase with a pound side next to a news in social media, especially big on twitter, bearish on the word hash tag. we use it a lot. coming up my debate of the year. my turn to be in showdown. arguably fits is the most
