distilling inventory so products actually rose twice as much down. good news coming out of europe, in libya supplies are supposed to come back on line. the rebels are going to allow oil fields to start producing again and we also have a pipeline that was down in iraq that went back on line. in the north sea more production coming on line so the brent crude market looks better and in the u.s. we never looked better at this time of year. ashley: gasoline down big today as well. >> down another $0.03. i am getting really excited. we were talking about a new era of lower gasoline prices for a long time. when it seems every time something happens and keep those prices up this is the beginning of a long term, we will see some volatility in the gasoline market but look at the refinery ones producing gasoline like it is going out of style, producing more gasoline, more diesel fuel,

exporting more of those products that bodes well for the consumer and people complain about gas prices, it will get better in the new year. ashley: very good. you are excited. we are always excited when you are on with us, phil flynn of price futures group, so much energy. lori: what else excites me? the stock alert, shares spiking on news the company acquired cybersecurity rival for $1 billion. the deal will unite the cloud base system, and foreign 6 services. generous valuation and the computer security business, it went public late last year, has achieved a market valuation of $5 billion in. ashley: the machinists union which represents 32,000 boeing employees is scheduled to vote for a second time on the contract that would keep the

happy. ashley: chrysler got a 6% gain, nice gain from the new jeep cherokee, particularly popular. what do you think of chrysler for the coming here? >> having the jericho available will be a huge help, it has been pour for a few years and the cherokee helped, we expect to introduce a replacement for their 200 midsize sedan as well and if that is as well executed as the cherokee seems to be that should be a good seller. it will make him relevant in a market where they haven't had a competitor product so this should be a good year for chrysler. ashley: ford led the way in detroit, do you expect the same this year? >> board hasn't challenges. they will replace the f 1, their best-selling vehicle and the best-selling vehicle in the country for 40 years, and

surveillance. that you own the content. but however, this is true for all social media, watch out. lawyers are now talking about this. you do not own the content. any social media site can basically license it or use your videos, photographs, information free of charge. >> how damaging could this be for facebook? >> in terms of dollars and cents, big-time damaging. they're seeking upwards of $10,000 per users in penalties and fines. we're talking tens of millions of users on facebook. could be a lot of money if they win this one. facebook says they will fight the lawsuit big-time. lori: interesting developing story. >> we'll be on it for you guys. bring you the latest. ashley: liz macdonald. lori: the new app lets you share digits without regret. the app is being dubbed the snapchat for phone numbers. ashley: ring me maybe. that is not -- lori: how many phone numbers have you received from girls over the years? >> let's not go there. let's move on.

couple years now, something they have been addressing is the experience in the stadium versus the experience at home. obviously the experience at home is gotten better with high-definition tv, surround sound, all these things. it will be lot more comfortable on home sunday for packers fans than it will be in the stadium with minus 20 do agree forecast there is. ashley: that is what the frozen tundra is all about although i don't have to stand out there. the fcc moved to end the blackout rule which began in the '50s and '60s when ticket sales were big part of what a team's revenue, how the team's revenue was generated. could you make that same arguement today? >> i mean i think you can. these pickets are priced from 100 to $125 and they're set bit league. when you're talking in the case of the bengals yesterday, 5,000 to 6,000, that is a lot of money you will potentially say good-bye to. some retail chains stepped up in

built -- look, i go back to halfway through the season. the jets were playing falcons on monday night game. i was on the field in the georgia dome. i'm looking up in this place, this stadium, there is nothing wrong with that stadium, why are they building a new one? in the new stayed there trying to do rumble seats and like a camera lens the way the dome will close. they are trying to do things to get people coming out to the stadium. they're using in a lot of cases taxpayer money to build these stadiums. it is a good argument to be made for why the games should be on tv and no more blackout rule. ashley: can't let you go without asking it, who will win it all? >> i will stick by my prediction, halfway through the season, the denver broncos. i will stick with denver. ashley: tough to go against mr. manning, isn't it? very good, mike, thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it. >> you got it. lori: let's get back to the

your anonymity on line but which is not designed to protect you if you are break the law. lori: so this is similar to snapchat, right? the pictures that disappear. these are disappearing phone numbers. as you know the snapchat founder famously told facebook to take the 3 billion-dollar buyout offer and shove it. how would you react to a similar offer? >> i would take it, mark. lori: who sneezes like at 3 billion like snapchat folks did. what is the cost? what is basic subscription costs? >> when you're on the app you have two free numbers, that stays for one week. after that you have two options. either you buy additional numbers for one dollar a week. if you're like me and you don't like to spend money on apps, you can complete the admission and free if you were to video to get credits. lori: alex, thank you so much. check in with you couple months

to see how things are coming along. >> thanks a lot. ashley: give him a bum number and turned it into entrepreneur. lori: of course i would accept $3 billion. ashley: take it right now he says. all right. interesting stuff. coming up, how about this for a new year's resolution? listen up. lori rothman. drinking wine and losing weight at the same time. people dream about it. guest ahead with some recommendations. charges that facebook sends your private messages to advertisers? is this the beginning of the end for the social network? your tweets and liz macdonald's investigation as tracy byrnes and i take you through the next hour on fox business.

killer hour of "markets now." time to look at the stocks. let's go straight to nicole petallides on floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole, market gained some of losses but we've lost some steam, haven't we? >> we started off the year in negative territory. our first trading day yesterday, down 135 points. we haven't seen that since the year 2008. even worse would be two straight days of selling and haven't seen that since 2005. if you're a bear you're loving it. if you're a bull you're slightly disappointed but you had a great 2013. that being said the dow jones industrials up 12 points and nasdaq and s&p are pulling back. the dow as i note the up 12 points t was down 70 points over the day. we're keeping a keen eye on boeing awaiting a contract vote. if the deal is accepted for the bow boeing workers where they make the jet liner the 777x, the wings, will be made in the seattle area, if they reject the

deal it could possibly be made elsewhere. if they are accepted there may be a caveat for right of boeing to use lower paid contractors. the stock in somewhat of a wait around see mode. it has an up arrow up half a percent at 137.57. back to you. tracy: thanks, nicole. happy new year. see you in a bit. rob morgan of fulcrum securities joins us now. talk about the market and nicole made the point it is first big down day we've seen in a long time but we came from a great market in 2013. >> absolutely. one of the best years in two decades. tracy: right. >> it was low volume day. at love professional trade remembers still on vacation. i don't think we can read anything into yesterday related to the whole year. tracy: okay. talk about going forward then. you know. we know taper is coming now. maybe i'm wrong. market goes up from here? >> well it will be uneven,

tracy. it will be, we are going to have some pullbacks in 2014. it will not go up like a straight line. i do think 2,000 is possible on the s&p 500 throughout, throughout the year. we can talk about some of the reasons i think that. but yeah, i think, i think it will be another good year. tracy: why? >> look at underpinnings for the s&p 500, they fundamentally look still pretty attractive. valuations are not out of line, p-e ratto, it is not cheap anymore but not expensive. the technically the market looks sound. earnings estimates continue to expand. i think the most important thing that the retail investor still has not gotten back to the market. we're rapping up year five. soon to enter year 6 of the bull market. this is one of the most hated bull markets that we've ever had. tracy: honestly it is. so that was going to be my next question to you. what will it take to get the retail guy back? >> if you look at jobless recoveries of 1990, early

'90s, early 2000s, we finally reach ad tippingpoint where job growth accelerated. i think we're there now in this recovery. the reason is corporate america is so lean and doesn't really take a big up stick in -- uptick in demand, we're up curve in hiring, that we'll see that and that all of sudden pushes us where viewers say, oh, my gosh, we're in a recovery. tracy: this might be the year main street starts to catch up to wall street a little bit? >> i'm hopeful. i'm hopeful. it will eventually come. it will definitely eventually come. tracy: and whole pigs will fly too. you have to be in this. i know you're a small cap fan and still a. >> still am. tracy: what companies are you investing in? >> we don't really, quite honestly with our client base we don't suggest individual countries. we just use broad etfs. the efa, eem, emerging markets,

so we, in asset allocation, we would say invest 5% more in those spaces. >> 5% more than you have been? >> absolutely. that would be an overweight in international for us. we think, going into some of these illiquid etfs for countries, that is, that's fraught with some -- tracy: i know we have to run but on financial side too, would you go in the etf as well? >> you could or use individual stocks there. we do like allstate. we like bank of new york mellon and disclaimers, i don't own them, don't do investment banking with them but those are couple names we like. tracy: rob, i feel bad, rob morgan of fulcrum. i feel bad, come out here on the worst days. >> will be kids day off day. mark it on your calendar. tracy: thank you, rob. ashley: poor guy. there are new charges that facebook sends your private messages to advertisers so how damaging could be this be for the social network?

tweet us and your answers will be along the bottom of the screen. our elizabeth macdonald is investigating those charges and joins us with more. liz? >> this is a real eyebrow-raising lawsuit. it is catching the attention of people across the country. it was filed in u.s. district court in california, in san jose, california. two facebook users essentially saying that facebook systematically looks at your private messages if you have a like in there. meaning if you have a web link. say tracy is a facebook user around likes the wine column. wants to send her wine column link to somebody else. facebook this lawsuit alleges, works on tracey's profile, upgrades it, updates it and then use that is information to sell to advertisers, to get advertisers in. so they're essentially saying this is user profiling this is data mining and this is wrong. facebook is saying uh-uh, wait a second. they're essentially saying we will vigorously defendelvet mer.

look what facebook already tells its users on the facebook page in terms of terms of service. it says, we may enable access to public information that has been shared through our services and we may aallow service providers to access information so they can help us provide services. whether or not this suit will move forward in court, remains to be seen, guys. and here's the big problem for facebook. this is really key. this is what the suit is alleging. they're saying, facebook tells you, ashley or tracy, that you have an expectation of privacy. that you will not have surveillance happening on your private messages. so the suit, the people, two guys suing are saying hey, that means people are writing more freely about themselves because they're private. they're more revealing. if they're being scanned, then hey, wait a second, and users will step back and not use facebook for private messages. ashley: facebook is saying they will vigorously defend it but they're not denying they're doing it. >> they're saying allegations without merit.

they didn't say we deny. that is without merit. that is the statement from facebook. here is the other thing you have to remember for all social media, skype owns content to basically what you put up on skype. facebook is saying we don't own the content but can use information. says that repeatedly throughout disclaimers. anytime talked about in legal circles, basically they can license your information put up on social media freely and use your video and content. so it is interesting stuff. ashley: we'll continue to follow it, i'm sure, liz macdonald. >> sure. tracy: tell you, i'm going back to my crain stationary and writing letters. it is safer. ashley: a whole generation doesn't know how to write a letter anymore. tracy: that's true, lol. ashley: yeah. tracy: up to 22 inches of snow dumped by the latest nor'easter, but don't look now but there is more snow in the forecast. we're live in the fox weather center next. ashley: we're moments away from ben bernanke last official pronouncements as fed chief.

my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, gatran etexilate mesylate)...

...was proven superior to warfin at reducing the risk of stroke. and or dietary restrictions. no regular blood tests hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. prada can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnmal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexcted signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleing condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

look at snow totals. two feet in massachusetts. parts of new york got close to a foot of snow. we were pretty right on target with snow calculations. the tracy mentioned the next storm system. where is it coming from? the northern plains. we'll see, i know you heard me say this many times, the coldest air of the season yet to come across the midwest. chicago you will have a day-time high of minus 10. minus 10 on monday, which could rifle some of your coldest air you have ever felt. so there are the windchills right now, minus 3 in iowa city. minus 7 in green bay. we could have one of the coldest nfl games in green bay on sunday, minus 1 at game time with windchill in the teenses or 20s. here is the next storm system across the northern plains. we could get several inches of snow on this one. snow as far as south as tennessee. memphis, you could get a couple of inches of snow here.

self-driving cars on the road worldwide. the study cops as u.s. auto sales close out a strong month for december and a huge year for 2013. staying with cars then, peter nagel, ihs automotive analyst. he has your expert insight in today's auto sales report. plus your outlook for 2014. peter, thank you so much for being here. for the most part the sales in december were somewhat disappointing. a guest in the previous hour said it is just a blip. the weather wasn't great. the strong demand will continue into the new year. will you agree? >> well, first, ashley, thank you for having me on here, i'm excited to be here and you're correct, december sales did come in a little weaker than we initially anticipated. most of that because of some inclemment weather especially out east and traditionally strong post-christmas holiday selling season. we're looking at across the board sales will be up about 3% for the month of december.

so still pretty good month here. seasonally adjusted selling rate is probably still going to top 16 million units. making december, probably the third best month of 2013, trailing only november and september in terms of selling rate. ashley: we know that ford did exceptionally well, leading the way in detroit last year. do you expect the same this year, really on back of the pickup truck? >> yeah. ford had a great year. f-150 in particular had a great year. 37 years strong as number one selling pickup in north america. we don't expect any slowdown from them here. kind of the biggest non-secret here in the industry is will or will they not show the new f-150 at this coming north american auto show, north american international auto show, sorry. we expect them to lawn of the new f-150 in 2014 and have a big reveal in the auto show. ashley: what about chrysler?

what kind of year do you see for them? they reported a 6% gain last month in u.s. auto sales? wasn't bad but still missed estimates. >> yeah. chrysler and ram in particular have had a good month. again, on the back of pickup sales here. the good news for chrysler is that with the merger with fiat now in the rear view mirror, we can expect management to shift focus back to product. that will be key for 2014, because in the automotive market, product always drives sales and chrysler and dodge in particular are in need of some new products. so once, once management gets back to the developing their product plan, we expect some better news out of 2014. ashley: for consumer, peter, do we expect automakers, we know there is tremendous demand. does that mean they don't have the provide kind of incentives that consumers have become used

to? can i still get a good deal on a car? >> consumers are getting great deals on cars. auto affordability is approaching all-time highs. that's with low levels of incentives. really what's making the vehicles affordable for consumers here is the low interest rates and monetary support that's coming from the fed, as well as some flexible financing here. we're seeing loan terms being extended and that's really helping consumers target their monthly price points. ashley: great stuff. peter, thank you so much for joining us. >> ll right. thank you, ashley. ashley: all right. yet extending those, 12 years of payments. the old 106-month payment plan. tracy: when this area gets weather like this, the only thing you want to buy is a truck. no wonder reason why truck sales are good. ashley: yeah. tracy: coming up in the next half hour of "markets now," when ben bernanke speaks, people actually listen. we're live in philadelphia with

labour market outlook that we set out, the current key repurchase program in september of 2012. the economy has made considerable progress since the recovery began four years ago but the recovery remains clearly in complete with the unemployment rate at 7% still elevated, unusually high number of long-term unemployed are still out there. number of people working part-time for economic reasons remains unusually high but he says the head winds facing the economy may now be abating including less restrictive fiscal policy and washington. tracy: lots of big words in that statement. thank you very much. you did it on purpose. his last official -- on the way out. thank you so much. now to another difficult thing,

glitch, she did find a plan which is good news but bad news it is of exchange. ashley: lot more expensive. >> found coverage through blue cross blue shield. to new plan is $400 a month with a deductible of $17,000 for family. which is crazy but her old plan was $260 with a $500 deductible, much more affordable and she was with blue cross blue shield for years. she is happy to have coverage that it is paying out of pocket and can't get a plan on the exchange as of right now. tracy: the system wasn't truly tested for all the different variables. that is a silly glitch that her children are american-born citizens and are popping up as not. >> she spent two months trying to sign up for obamacare. we keep hearing experts going back and forth saying will people sign up? she really wants coverage for herself, her husband and five kids and literally cannot sign

industry goes? >> wine has grown through the recession and had pretty good growth last year. continuing to borrow but saw slower growth in november and december which took a lot of people by surprise. tracy: how come? >> november was a strange month, we had a week less between thanksgiving and christmas so we are trying to sort that out but as the company we are growing share but the total category as well. tracy: you are doing well compared to the total academy. a good price point your wines are not the $100 caps. >> the most impressive price segment is this can to $15 segment which is still showing 10% growth, overall line growth has grown at -- tracy: that is your sweet spot. >> it is. tracy: everyone calorie conscious, this is your idea to talk about this. the alcohol content kills you. >> december was all about big

ashley: we are down to the wire. one of the four wild card players game set for the weekend still could be blacked out but might the internet come to the rescue? dennis kneale collins as with the latest. dennis: then there was one. three of four games faced a blackout threat but only the cincinnati bengals have the wild card playoff game as the deadline approaches later today. as the week begins only the philadelphia eagles sold out their home game on saturday, against the new orleans saints but the indianapolis colts managed to sell all seats yesterday for their early game saturday hosting the kansas city chiefs and on sunday green bay packers managed to avoid a local blackout for their game against the 49ers leaving only the cincinnati bengals taking black all locally to their game sunday hosting the san diego chargers on cbs. but wait. live streaming the playoff games on the internet so a blackout

does the send maybe fans will do fine watching over the internet but there's a snag. i heard moments ago from a cbs official who says if the blackout goes forward it will be blacked out in the online as well in cincinnati. how cbs could stop an intrepid internet user from sidestepping that blocked access the game somehow somewhere on the global internet? we will see. this bengals block out threat comes as federal communications commission weighs whether to lift the decades old black felt rule for local tv coverage of nfl games, the internet made that restriction obsolete. cbs is talking about a geo block meaning you can't get it. don't know how you can do that. get your local system to go ahead and block it on internet access but what about elsewhere? what about some server in china? tracy: i'd bet you what happened

is somebody -- that will happen. ashley: many people who can't get to the game helped through taxes, help pay for the stadium begetting blacked out. >> the seer in electronic are reacting to media sites and the syrians might step in and help cincinnati. tracy: where is a hacker when you need him? leopold vanilla, s&p 500 from last year, you did better than the oracle of omaha. warren buffett will likely report berkshire hathaway missed its target. say it isn't so. beating the s&p 500 for the first time in 44 years according to insiders. based on latest data the s&p 500 had 128% returns is versus berkshire's book value which was up 80%.

nothing to sneeze at. that is as of september a 30th. analysts don't expect it to make that much gain to make up the difference. score one for the little guy, i guess. ashley: it had to happen one of these days. remarkable ride for the s&p and after 44 years. tracy: you had to believe it would catch up. that is just me. ashley: started new streak. and tracy: and "countdown to the closing bell" december car sales are out. we will tell you who knocked it out of the park and what it means for investors. i will sit down with bob carter, vice president of toyota motor sales and ask why toyota is seeing the most growth and which one of its cars outsold the competition. cheryl casone in tte studio, dow up 54 points. don't go anywhere.
