tv   MONEY With Melissa Francis  FOX Business  January 13, 2014 5:00pm-6:01pm EST

5:00 pm
job. it answer as series of questions, old saying goes there is truth to every joke. while this is humerous app but people hope they use it. david: no offense, but i don't think many people want to quit their jobs today. liz: no. "money" with melissa francis is next. melissa: don't trust the water. a whole region left ravaged by a chemical leak with hundreds of thousands of lives coming to a complete stand still as local businesses watch their livelihood go down the drain because even when they say it's not it is always about money. melissa: we're going to get to that story in a second but before that, the hack attack continues. the data breach at target could now impact up to 110 million customers? can you believe that? that is a huge number. it is a third of the u.s. population. that is not all. luxury retailer neiman marcus
5:01 pm
confirms its customers are also at risk following a security breach. here with all the details, experts adam lashinsky a fox news contributor. why does this number keep ballooning do you think. >> melissa i heard you set that up, but the number is bigger than you suggested because obviously children, teenagers don't have accounts. it is much larger than a third of the united states. and i would say to you, that anybody with a credit card, anybody with a computer in this country is a potential victim in this ongoing trend. these are criminals largely operating out of eastern europe. they have been at it for years. they get better and better, as we, you and i, everybody watching this show put more of our information into digital formats including shopping. >> how do they know this is all connected, what is going on at target, what is happening at neiman marcus? not all retailers have been
5:02 pm
notified yet. it may have happened to you and you don't even know it. how are they linking these things together as one incident? >> strikes me as a law enforcement issue. that part, so much they don't know and can't do, that part doesn't strike me as being that difficult for the fbi. for example, to be able to see, you know, we know from watching the movies that bomb-makers leave clues when they make their bombs. i think these cyber criminals do as well. melissa: what about for the average person? my impression is only way you really figure it out, they're notifying some people but not everyone, frankly they don't know everyone involved. >> no. melissa: the number keeps growing and only thing you do as individual is watch your account. >> you're relatively powerless. you can go online to look to see what is happening with your various accounts. save your receipts to match them up. you can pay cash. i hate to say that as someone who doesn't. i use my credit card almost like 3-dollars cup of coffee. that is at all term tiff.
5:03 pm
i'm sorry to say this is the direction where things are going. retailers and merchants are the ones with the biggest headache here. they're the ones who will end up losing and activate insurance policies and what not. they won't allow customers to absorb these losses i predict. melissa: isn't insurance companies that really lose? it is not the credit card company or not the retailer themselves. they're indemnified against something like this. it is not me. if i notice something i call credit card. unless my identity is stolen that is whole different set of problems, right. >> criminals can make your life a holy mess for a while if they steal your identity. you can get it back but you have to jump through all these hoops. insurance companies, yes, they're on the hook. that is their business. that is what they expect to have happen. retailers will pay in terms of grief, bad pr and higher insurance premiums. melissa: no, target has definitely been in the spotlight for this one for sure.
5:04 pm
adam, thank you so much. appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. you bet. melissa: everybody is telling you about the problem. "money" has the solution to this one. the data breach exposed risk of credit cards. here is payment alternative. host wallet. lets you pay by scanning veins in your hand. yes the veins in your hand. here are the founders. ivan and matt. thanks to for you both joining us. this really caught our attention. we did facial recognition last week. we all know about fingerprint technology. what is it about the veins in your hand? how does it work? who wants to field that one? >> the veins in your hand are unique from fingerprint and facial recognition because they're internal. you don't leave traces like with fingerprints. since it scans a vain pattern, looks for flowing blood. it is impossible to replicate your vane pattern. that is vain pattern. it is unique to every
5:05 pm
individual. melissa: how does this system work? >> this is retail point of sale terminal. i add a few items for you. a salad and -- melissa: this is like i'm sitting at a restaurant. i'm going to check out. i would need to have the screen here. >> right. the merchant would have this. the small business owner would have the machine. they would ring everything up for you. when you're ready to go, hit credit and turn it to you. melissa: i can say either swipe. get a little closer here, swipe or put your hand? >> just, yeah, scan your hand. and now, i'm sure -- melissa: we have a fake phone number for anyone watching over my shoulder here. a alas, the 555 you see on tv shows is not a real number. that's it? >> yep. melissa: basically looked at inside of my hand, the vein and blood flowing through it. >> it doesn't take an image. it converts the vein pattern into a hash, into a private key that, so that way even if you
5:06 pm
knew that key there would be no way to replicate your hand. melissa: how did you guys come up with the idea? >> we came up with the idea, it was about two years ago when we were sitting in barnes and noble talking about how you really need -- melissa: in the coffee area? in the coffee area. melissa: sound like you guys were unemployed. look how we can make a buck so we don't hang out at barnes & noble all day. >> pretty much. we were coming up with an idea. why do you need to present anything at all. every person is unique on their own. fingerprints obviously an invasive technology. melissa: why is that more invasive than this? may be a unique pattern but still, i'm giving away something personal. >> correct. go ahead. >> so i mean fingerprints you leave them everywhere. if i were to tell you that your fingerprints associated with a credit card, everything you touch has your credit card information kind of on it. people associated with the fbi and all that. so it is invasive you feel like when you go about your day you
5:07 pm
are leaving your fingerprints everywhere. melissa: i don't leave a print of this but at the same time in order to authenticate me you took a picture of it. you have it stored somewhere. >> we actually don't story any images at all. there is no -- melissa: how does it know, how did it recognize me? >> what the machine does take reference points off the hand which helps us recognize the next time. every time it scans, something different. the algorithm is the magic, it is not -- we're using hand. melissa: why can the algorithm not be hacked then. >> because it uses near infrared light. this unit, the sensor is secured using your private key. so there's, you know, there is no way that you could just, you know, scan it and get the same read. every read is different. you would need the original read. that is stored in the amazon cloud and credit card information is even stored with the bank. so all of that is separated so there is no way a breach could identify or link the two. melissa: what is the difference between this and facial
5:08 pm
recognition? we had on somebody like this unlocked your phone, didn't need a password any longer, would use your face. we went through the same thing. it is unique and makes sure you're alive and says a lot of the same things that you're saying now. what is the difference between that and this? >> facial recognition the false acceptance is 2%, right, correct. >> right. melissa: not with this. showed me it didn't work with picture. wouldn't work with identical twin. i don't know, it couldn't sound like 2%. google one there was problems and apple one, this seemed to be dynamic pictures. >> facial recognition, the numbers, you know the studies show it is 2% false acceptance rate. 2 out of 100 times it will think someone else. it might improve a little bit, in comparison, palm bay patterns is 99.9992%. melissa: okay. >> so significantly better. that is why we have the factor for authentication. melissa: what does it cost and what phase are you in? have you sold this to anyone? >> we're doing a beta launch
5:09 pm
with select number of retailers in february. hopefully production run spring. melissa: how many retail remembers doing it? >> got about 150 right now live that we're ready. we have 2,000 on the list. melissa: how do you get people to sign up? if you're not familiar with this, if i go in, you don't have any customers linked to it doesn't do any good. >> extremely easy. first time they would go to the store, pay with the credit card as normally would. melissa: do you say do you want to sign up with the pulse taken as you check out, people will be into that you think? >> you would be surprised. when they see it for the first time they might not say yes. but it asks them every time, eventually they get curious. once they realize it is not invasive procedure they go for. >> it what does it cost for a store to become one of your retailers real quick? >> we haven't finalized. around 2 thou, very competitive given the other point of sale systems in market. melissa: interesting stuff. everybody is talking about the data breach today. we want to advance the story to tell people what can be done so
5:10 pm
your credit card can not b hacked any longer. this is interesting solution or problem we're talking about today. thank you so much for coming on and showing that us. >> thank you. melissa: when you think of a pawn shop you probably don't think of anything high-end. one store is changing the game and they're raking in the dough. you won't believe customers are pawning. are you in the market a great deal on maybe a sports car, a rolex? you have got to see this stuff. stick around. "spare change" coming up. coming up a dangerous water contamination in west virginia has left more than 300,000 people without freshwater. businesses are paying a heavy price in the form of lost profits. i will have two people directly affected by the crisis. you won't believe what this disaster is costing them. more "money" coming up. [ male announcer ] e new new york is open.
5:11 pm
open to innovation. open to ambition. open to boldids. that's why n york has a new plan -- dozens of tax free zones all across the state.
5:12 pm
move here, expand here, or start a new business here and pay no taxes for ten years... we're new york. if there's something that creates more jobs, and ows more businesses... we're open to it. start a tax-free business at startup-ny.com.
5:13 pm
melissa: more than 300,000 people in west virginia have gone five days without freshwater after thousands of gallons of a coal-cleaning chemical leaked into a local water supply forcing businesses to close that are door. the water ban is being slowly lifted. what about the revenue that has
5:14 pm
been lost? who is responsible? we have the president of charleston area medical center health systems and we have the owner of a local business called taylor books. thanks to both of you joining us. david, i i want to start with y. sounds like hospitals were impacted greatly. laundry. you don't have any clean linens. you can truck in water for drinking but what other problems did i face? >> well, it is a multitude of problems. we had to stablize the in patient that is we had. be sure they had everything they needed. certainly the water, ice, as you mentioned, linens, just, wipes, just, a whole list of things that you don't, you take for granted until you're in this situation like this. melissa: yeah. i mean what was the, what was the biggest hardship? you imagine everything in a hospital from washing your hands. how much water did you have to
5:15 pm
bring in and what do you think it cost you? >> right. well, we think the estimate is in excess of $2 million at this point in time for everything. the issue really was trying to get everything on site as fast as possible. we had to stop taking patients from outlying areas. stop taking emergency patients. other than those within charleston. for about 24 hours. and once we got things stablized, we were able to take care of the sick patients that were in outlying hospital that is needed our help. melissa: yeah. ann, the show is called "money" and that's why we're focusing on the business aspect of this and the price that local businesses paid for this spill. you know, when you talk about you have a bookstore, people don't imagine a lot of water needed at a bookstore but i understand your revenue went from used to making 12 to $15,000 in a weekend, went down to 500 bucks.
5:16 pm
what happened? >> well, we have a cafe in the bookstore which is very, very popular. we're central in charleston and a lot of people do their work in there, drink coffee, meet with each other and we have live music on fridays and saturdays and we had particularly fine performer scheduled for friday. and so all that had to be canceled and even though people can still come and buy a book, i think taylor books is more than just a bookstore where you walk in and walk out again. we have classes that require water. clay classes. we have art classes. we have a gallery and of course a cafe and we couldn't make food or serve it. and even though the band was listed today, especially downtown, so that the hospitals can get back on, i think mostly we still have to wait for the
5:17 pm
health department to give us a two-page recommendations for how we should clean up the dishes so that we can make coffee once more. melissa: wow. >> we're still waiting on that. but downtown became a ghost town because the bars, it was big football weekend. they couldn't sit around to watch their televisions and -- melissa: ann, without question it is revenue that you're not getting back here in the short term. i know about is a little bit of a delay here. >> that's right. no. melissa: what does it mean to you, noww you know, the ban has lifted but you don't, i mean how long do you think it is before you can get back to business and how much money do you think you will lose? >> well i think we probably, we were talking to the health department today who issued certificates for operation and they said probably tomorrow but, so i would think tomorrow would be the latest, for us.
5:18 pm
and then, of course the money isn't really recoverable. i think -- melissa: unless you file suit -- >> orange juice, and milk. melissa: against the company that is responsible for the spill, i mean is this something you thought about? david, will you go after the company that created this spill in order to try to recoup the losses? >> well i think probably that would be not successful because any insurance company, the big ones who insure these kind of places, they have to be assured that the take are in good condition and revetments containing spills are in good condition and they won't pay. part of our agreements was you don't have crack in a wall and rusty old tanks teetering upstream on, from the water tanks in a capital city. melissa: i have no doubt someone will pay the bill. >> i think so. melissa: we've got to end it
5:19 pm
there. i have no doubt somebody will pay the bill for this. i hope you keep us posted. thanks for both of you coming on the show. we appreciate it. coming up the weekend bender is only thing you should keep from your boss. find out how reveal being your religion can land you in the doghouse at work. have you thought about that? our "money talker" panel has plenty to say on that one. tweet me what you think. what wouldn't you share with your boss. legalization in colorado met huge gains for pot-related stocks. will this high meant to last or will investors see their profits go up in smoke? do you ever have too much money?

5:21 pm
5:22 pm
>> something that people should not tell their bosses?
5:23 pm
the truth. >> politics. don't talk about politics. >> a lot of personal stuff should be left in your own bedroom and stuff like that. you don't need coworkers or bosses knowing anything personal. >> a lost personal things i would not want to discuss. melissa: where should the line be drawn sharing too much with the manager around building a strong personal relationship? we're tackling that question in today's "money talker" on what you should never tell your boss. attorney recommend my spencer is here to give us legal implicationings of this question. we also have author, karen. she will give us the work place perspective and our very own dennis kneale here. he is no strangetory oversharing with a few of his ex-bosses. oh, boy. >> nice intro. melissa: well you know, i mean you've got to go through why we have everyone on panel. >> that is okay. melissa: you're our example of somebody who said too much at work like what? that really -- >> bad thing about this list of 10 things you should never share about your boss, i think we need
5:24 pm
to remember business is a relationship and you do better and more business with people you like and that relationship with your boss is someone it would be really great you make them like you. when you do share personal stuff it forms a bond. there is blowback. years and years ago at "wall street journal" i have mentioned hey, this is early 1990s and city law and seeing it shrink. when there was big fight with the boss, and you're going through personal things, aren't you? having knowledge of seeing a shrink. you have to be careful. but you should reveal some things and think what helps me with what i reveal? >> there is fine line sharing your personality, letting it shine and drawing a boundary between what you want to be your public persona and what should be kept private. you want to, i have just written a book called, find your sweet spot. the main message is work from strength. you want to be perceived in the office as the strongest, most excellent person who will deliver really good work
5:25 pm
product. if you share too much, religious stuff or, your -- melissa: why, why is religion a negative? why is sharing too much, if you're, you go to church or synagogue every week and that doesn't show that you have good moral characterer? that you're trying to be a good person? what do you think? >> couple of things. first of all the employer is not allowed to as matter of law to ask you personal questions. melissa: if you're like dennis, you volunteer way too much. >> religion is tricky like politics and a couple hot-button issues because they're so uniquely personal and people are so powerfully passionate about their own beliefs you probably will never see eye to sigh. that can create a divide in the work place. melissa: there were other one that is surprised me. one, thing, never share your spouse's income. why your spouse's income? >> i think you want to be known as person that you are at work. not all the noise outside. melissa: but they're trying to say if your space makes a lot of money, up against a promotion
5:26 pm
with someone with not a large household income they will feel better not giving it to you because your wife or husband will make more money. do you believe that? >> in the work place as woman hears woman has ceo as a husband might not give raise to persons with second income and person who works for me. that is wrong. what surprised me don't reveal sexual or rfra entation, for people that are gay to be brave enough to come out. that is important thing. don't tell your box at all -- melissa: i'm surprised about that also. >> decisions you make about what information you want to share and what information you don't want to share starts at top. the boss creates the culture, opens the floor for discussion on certain topics. if you work in closed, conservative professional office people are not talking about their sexual orientation whether they're straight or gay
5:27 pm
otherwise. melissa: if you have a partner you shouldn't mention they are the same gender that you are. >> -- with your husband or your wife versus how wonderful your partner in life is. you have got to make those kind of judgment calls based on what other people are deal. >> right. what is appropriate and what is oversharing. keep the focus who you are opposed to who you are outside the office. melissa: another one on the list, never reveal you're working another job. to me, don't you sort of have to reveal that? depending who you are working for, don't they have a right to know you're moonlighting for competition. no, remy? >> they have no right when you're not working for them. melissa: even if it is direct conflict. >> of course there are always exceptions. if you sign an employment agreement that has restrictive covenants on it, that you are not allowed to compete but -- melissa: what if you don't sign an agreement you know they will be really mad at you if they figure it out? if your hairdresser at one tv station and also at another, they don't like that?
5:28 pm
there is lot of things like this where -- >> they don't have a right to know. >> i have associates or friend ask all the time, gosh, i'm doing this thing and not telling, if you're afraid you will get in trouble -- melissa: you shouldn't be doing it. >> then you shouldn't be doing it or go out of your way to reveal it and take the hit because you don't want to get in trouble when it is too late. melissa: remi disagrees. >> i think it depends on job and working at mcdonald's and working a job somewhere else you have no obligation to share that. >> remi dodged question, if you have employee working for you should they mention their sexual orientation or not. >> as employees, around the atmosphere, but to a client, absolutely not. the employees are my friend. melissa: interesting. pot related stocks are flying high since colorado's legalization of the drug. some say we may be in the midst of a bong bubble. no pun instincted.

[laughter] i don't think we could have seized one more play on reid words. but now we have got it out of the way, what do you think prexy stocks have been exploded i hate to be left behind but it looks to interest.
5:33 pm
>> -- dangerous. where there is freedom you have opportunity to profit just like prohibition allowed jim beam and budweiser to profit so will the prohibition on marijuana or the repeal. it is fundamentally bullish for the entire industry to pick the right players because we're just at the start. melissa: do you agree? be careful of how you go i don't want to get in trouble. >> there are so many more funds available but putting capital into these stocks at best is a half baked idea. people have been asking me this morning am i too late to get did? actually it is the opposite. it is way too early. these other up 30% most of

them only have a revenue of $50,000 for it is not too late but too early. my idea is 10 years from now maybe the best marijuana's stock is not even on the market. melissa: in the meantime you hear about people making money. we'll get companies like 1700%. it looks like it is a penny-stock. look at that. [laughter] >> it is. essentials lee marijuana stocks are benefiting from the scarcity the internet stocks benefited from 1995 and '96. it is the best way to get exposure because they are trading legitimately but the news is out. the time to buy overseas stocks was a year-and-a-half ago before the repeal was

if anything just a contact i is enough to get the adrenaline going. >> the real risk is that government could step in at any point to make the entire industry illegal. if you want to play by a basket of marijuana stocks for the most will go bad that water to should do well to make up for the rest. melissa: we will yvette there. experts say legal marijuana sales could reach $3 billion this year but banks are turning away cash from legal marijuana in colorado and closing down the town's leading business owners to carry around bricks of cash. will this snippet in the bud? joining me now is a co-owner of denver relief of medical marijuana center. you are a legal business but
5:37 pm
you can get a bank account? >> the obvious they're having problems with his microphone and the audio. this is a fascinating story. how he can to get of bank accounted is the tough way to run a business and dangerous for the we try to work on that we will squeeze and a break. automakers go head-to-head as new cars are upset to drive up profits while others are in danger of being less in the dust. at the end of the day it is all about money. return on investment isn't the only return i'm looking foard to. and my parachute definitely isn't golden.

5:42 pm
>> the thing about toyota they get a lot of heat for not being very sexy they sell a lot of cars like the key every they want to show that the japanese can be sexy. that was one of the missions to show what our designers can do. melissa: definitely sexy. >> the sexiest thing about the show in addition to the vehicles are most -- or more so is the ceo of general motors mary barra looked at this we lost three cameramen and falling to the ground as we tried to conduct the interviews. >> it is a great start? >> no. the focus should be on the cars at the international auto show.
5:43 pm
the cars are the stars. >> know they are not. everybody wanted to talk to her. melissa: she did not want to do the interview? it is about showing off your product. what did you take away from that? you follow the industry so closely that was disappointing. >> she was a little bit overwhelmed. she did not look like its but she takes the job in today's. she has a lot of balls in the air and you don't want to say stupid writes off the bat. she cares about the cars, she does not want to be the star by right now everybody wants to talk to her. melissa: what is the number one thing that has blown you away? >> i think would have to be the willingness on the part of ford and the effort of 50 truck to say we have the
5:44 pm
most popular vehicle, we have sold more than any of the vehicle, the best-selling vehicle in the nation in 32 straight years and we will completely change its. that was the big grabber. the willingness to do that. it takes a lot of guts when you fix something that is not broke. melissa: we will talk about that right now. thank you for coming on. don't tell elon musk that the good old-fashioned muscle cars are the leading the way so which are a must have which goes the way of the minivan? taking in all the action as he joins us now, what gets the most attention? what blew off your socks? >> it was hard not to be
5:45 pm
blown away by the chevy corvette. racecar territory. zero through 60 and four seconds and you can drive it dates today if you choose to but performance is very much alive. you will see other cars but just talking about the toyota ft1 there'll be so many fuel saving devices. corvettes alsowith a new puttert raising the cylinders deactivate to save fuel so it is up in the up most of their minds. trying to do whatever they can and with fuel economy. melissa: one of the coolest things the fourth half and 50 aluminum truck. is that the game changer?
5:46 pm
>> it is a huge. they will really lead the way from authentication. coming from aerospace alan mulally has a lot of background how to use aluminum. it is used in all types of transportation products so it is not unusual for ford to be tested for dirt validate. we know that but the reality is it is a huge game changer it is a new technology they have to master quickly it is the most popular car in the world. melissa: that is what jeff flock was saying it is a huge risk to take a car that is so popular to redesign in such a dramatic way. that is a huge risk. what do you think smarter or in st.? >> it is smart.
5:47 pm
as alan mulally said earlier this is part of a ford plan and it is only the opening song of looks like they will be doing a lot more aluminum body cars throughout the line because it saves wait. not all auto makers agree some would rather use high strength steel which is also light weight because they think crash standards are better but we will see with fares better in the marketplace. melissa: also making a splash tell me about that. >> it is hard to remember but if you said you owns a kia aura dash day looking at the new genesis is as remarkable is the second generation with the basic engine with all kinds of technology with co2 censers of a buildup in the cabin
5:48 pm
fresh air will automatically come on. it is google's compatible see u.k. and remote start your car. >> we just showed that last week to find in a parking lot and how we did not seem like it went to with the low end car like the hyundai but the representative was selling as this is upscale. think you for coming. we appreciated. the trent that they leave the of vandals clutching their pearls. turning to pawnshops to score some extra dough and do not believe the things they are putting up as collateral. you can never have too much money.
