4:00 pm
penguins about to ring the bell at new york stock exchange. [closing bell ringing] david: look at that. liz: there they are. seaworld. helping to press that button. david: maybe it is the pen beginning factor leading to a double, a triple digit rise on the dow today. all the indices up, doing very well. this is, again the second day that we have had a triple-digit gains on the dow. that hasn't happened since october. so it's a relief in a way to a lot of people wondering because we were so slow starting out in 2014. looks like now we have gained momentum. again all indices over half a percentage point or greater. a good day for the markets. liz: still don't beat that all-time high of s&p for 18.50. almost there. time for the front page headlines. the federal reserve says the u.s. economy continued to grow at moderate pace from late november until 2013. the fed beige book report which
4:01 pm
looks at 12 regions of the united states. some regions likely to see a pickup in growth and hiring. david: in a separate report the new york fed says its general business conditions for the new york area rose to 5.1 in january. this is the highest reading in 20 months. liz: 20 months, not bad. u.s. producer prices recording their biggest gain sis september. the cost of gasoline rebounded though but overall inflation pressures remain subdued. david: as we mentioned it was a winning fourth quarter for bank of america ceo brian moynihan. the firm's quarterly profit surging by nearly $3 billion and as revenue increased and mortgage losses plunged. liz: reuters, federal reserve and office of comptroller of currency sent investigators to citigroup's london offices. this is part of an international investigation into alleged manipulation of the global currency markets. uh-oh. general motors stock is higher after auto giant expects a
4:02 pm
slight up tick in pretax profits but margins will likely remain flat until 2015. big day in the markets. "after the bell" starts right now. liz: break down today's market action with our all-star panel. we have got david lutz, still nicholas managing director. he says 2014 could be another double-digit year for stocks, wow. liz: challenge him on that, maybe. i don't know. lee munson, portfolio founder and chief investment officer will tell you now why ask the time to get in the markets and best ways to play the markets. plus todd horowitz joining from us the cme. we begin with todd. what action jumped out at you, todd? >> i liz, hi david. i think the action jumped at me was banks. with bank of america really blowing the doors off their eaanings it pulled up all the banks today. so i was kind of shocked at the
4:03 pm
strength. i knew they expected good earnings but i think they even blew away their own expectations with all-time highs in bank of america. i still think the 1850 level in the s&p will hold up. some resistance here. i think we're not at the top of the market but i think we're at the top of the range now until we see more from the fed next week. david: even a bear like todd horowitz sees positive movements for the market ahead. david, you're positive on the markets but you're positive on something else and i have to push right back on it. gold, of all things to be bullish on right now, bold, we just -- gold, we had report from deutsche bank, bank of america. ubs, they added all predictions about gold up and guess what they found? 14% drop in the price of gold from where it is now by the end of 2014. why are you bullish? >> dave, i'm going to tell you hit it on the head. sentiment is absolutely awful in the metal right now.
4:04 pm
we have near record high or at least multiyear high of short interest in futures markets for gold. that tells me you know what? everybody is crowded on short side. all the negative basis people talking about are built in. i was looking at jeffrey's cast, gold will go up 10%. i will not argue with him because he is very contrarian on lot of different things. one. main reasons why is because a lot of physical demand we're seeing in asia. a lot of spot prices in china are starting to pick up. there could be a skew because of their new year holiday but we're starting starting to see inflationary signals pick up. u.s. 10-year break-evens, dave, that is the difference between tips, inflation protected yield and nominal bond for the 10-year. you know what? slowly but surely crawling higher. if you overlay a chart of gold against that all you traders out there, you will see it start to pick up. i think a lot of the negative sentiment is built in. i think inflation is one of the
4:05 pm
big black swan events in the market this year. given money printing bank of japan would do i could see gold basing and starting to rally here. liz: from gold to the markets, lee munson, is it too late? we had amaze run-up past year. two straight days of triple-digit gains. yes or no, take some. cash warming the bench on the football team and put it to work for the team? a couple of days in a year, reason why it is good. people have to remember, if you invest for week or two weeks, i can't tell you whether now is good time to invest. if you invest rest of this year into the future next, two, three, four, five years we have great things going on n america the top things you need to realize, look at age prime adults people like me with peak earnings everyone is concerned about ratio between people like us and population cycle high and can go higher. number two, we have 19 out of 20
4:06 pm
months of wage, real wage inflation. also the amount of people working part time for economic reasons versus fun has been trending down for the last couple years. if you look at the 12-month averages, not just what came out today or what came out for last month, i think you start seeing a picture we do have a great recovery and that momentum will keep going forward. that being said i think you need to invest in international and have balance to make your money there. david: specifically, and i want to stick with you, we need to hear some names, lee, i was surprised to hear you're for some smoking stocks. i don't mean they're smoking because they're hot but they make smokes. why do you like these stocks? >> i don't like smoking at all. my dad is lung cancer survivor. the question was posed to me earlier today -- david: i should, excuse me for interrupting the two top ones are cigarette companies, altria and lorillard. brown-forman makes jack daniels which ain't bad either but go ahead. >> listen, my dad drank early
4:07 pm
times and smoked marlboros for extended period of time. the basic idea if you want to speculate versus investing there is nothing wrong with speculating as long as you know you're doing that minimum wages pogue up in states all across the america. we know anybody across the street when minimum wages go up and people at lower end of the spectrum have more money that goes directly into cigarettes, really cheap cigarettes and affordable booze versus premiums brands. if you want to take a flyer i want to own individual stocks and go bet in the casino, bet on low end american consumer getting more money in their pocket because of more government regulation and a bet you can win. not the bet we want to take. my clients want to invest. but sometimes you want to have some fun. >> i kind of said this at the top, david, really, does lightning strike twice? you think we'll have another, i'm thinking you're saying double-digit percentage returns for markets once again this year? >> liz, absolutely.
4:08 pm
liz: i want it but really. >> liz, absolutely. for all the other reasons that were just mentioned. we've got economic strength picking up. look at buybacks. a lot of people think this will be another big buyback year. liz: buybacks are lame. financial engineering. i know it, i know it spikes stocks and you don't want to fight the tape either way or whatever, don't try to fathom it but i want to warn our viewers of that. >> absolutely but look at pkw, liz, buyback etf. outperformed the s&p by 15% last year. acting well again this year. you know what? m&a is picking up. great ft read corporate balance sheets are flush with cash. they think all the money outt3 there and activists investors will be forcing some of this cash to go to work in the market. that's why, dave, one of the things about goldmarkket i would like, if you're concerned about buying gold here, look at miners. david: that's true. >> this is mining etf. 15-year low relative to the metal and they're starting to see m&a picking up in the space.
4:09 pm
i tend to think because after lot of cash on the sidelines, believe it or not a lot of professional investors are still underweight the u.s. market at this point you could start seeing the lid coming off and easily see double-digit gains in the market, liz. david: david, we're saving the tape. no doubt. we're saving tape. if you're right, play it back to give you all kudos in the world. >> can't wait. david: todd, go back to you for a second. you're a bear as i said before but at the same time you say there's a technical case to be made for this market continuing to go up. make it quickly. >> well, we break through 1850 and we hold and fed comes in with more money we'll go higher. you're fighting against free money. if we break above 1850 which is the level, we're probably going higher. i don't think we'll get through there. i will throw water on the big bull party. i think we'll actually go lower. >> i will take the other side. liz: thank you, david lutz, lee munson. todd horowitz we come back with you for s&p futures close. speaking of close, jcpenney
4:10 pm
breaking news, is going to be closing a bunch of stores, david. here are the flashes on the wires. jcpenney announces that it as a strategic initiative to advance the turnaround it will close 33 unperforming stores, underperforming stores. they expect that this will save approximately $65 million. they're going to offer all kind of buyouts for employees. david: also taking a pretax charge of $26 million in the fourth quarter. all this news not really affecting the stock after-hours as you can see. that much at all, if anything it is ticking higher. that may change. again, an after-hours pretax charge being announced, not a good sign when they announce it after-hours. we will see what happens to the stock. we'll follow it closely. meanwhile you may wonder about the connection between a netflix stock dive this morning and that court decision to knock down the obama administration's desire to regulate the internet. we're going to spell it all out for you with a former fcc commissioner who says that internet businesses will ultimately flourish as a result
4:11 pm
of this decision. liz: plus blackberry slap as lawsuit on ryan seacrest's new venture, typo. it alleges that typo's new iphone product steals its famous qwerty keyboard. tactile keyboard and puts it on a competing product, i.e., apple's iphone. cofounder and ceo of typo, joining us live to talk about the lawsuit. also more importantly perhaps his hot new device that sold out. tell us what you think. it doesn't annoy me. does it annoy you that the iphone doesn't have a tactile key like the blackberry does? does it force to you carry two phones? that would be yes for me. log on to facebook.com/afterthebell. we'll read your answers later. ♪ [ male announcer ] once, there was a man

4:15 pm
that being said here are the headlines. jcpenney says it will close 33 underperforming stores. with that, that will be completed likely by may. there will also be 2,000 positions eliminated. there will be some benefit packages they as well will deal with. they see charges of 26 million in the fourth quarter. 17 million in future period to come. they're closing 33 stores. they continue to plan to open a store in brooklyn, new york, you know they have been working on a turn around. they talked about comp sales during the holiday season, surpassing their estimates year-over-year, looking good though they did not release exact numbers which left people a little nervous. they also say with these store closing they see $65 million in yearly cost savings. that will begin this year in 2014. so jcpenney trying to stay alive here and it is interesting to watch this stock, how it is
4:16 pm
gyrating, we noted it was up 3%. now in negative territory. so a wild after-hours. back to you. liz: there is very little to say about this. seems like they're having such a tough time no matter what they do. nicole, thank you very much. david? david: as you might have seen netflix stock took a different this morning because of a court decision to limit the ability of the fcc to regulate the internet. what the court shot down is something long supported by president obama called net neutrality. the reason netflix's stock went down because now the fcc will not be able to force internet carriers like verizon or at&t, to let netflix clog up their internet lines unless netflix pays more money. while the fcc doesn't like the ruling there is at least one former fcc commissioner who does like it and he joins us now. robert mcdowel, was appointed to the fcc by president gw bush and by president obama and both appointments were confirmed unanimously by the u.s. senate. so this guy plays it down the
4:17 pm
line. commissioner mcdowel, good to see you. you had a very interesting piece in the "wall street journal" let me premise your piece with a basic assumption. i think it fairs to say, you correct me if i'm wrong, that the internet is this magnificent platform that supports all kinds of businesses in a very innovative way, primarily because it is not regulated. is that true? >> absolutely. the internet is the greatest deregulatory success story of all time. it blossomed beautifully before there were net neutrality rules. it will bless many even more beautifully after this court ruling and unfettered internet is the best way to go and this is dynamic and wonderful. david: forgive me for interrupting so then why did the fcc want to regulate something that has flourished because of deregulation? >> it was a radical departure first of all bipartisan consensus really starting in the clinton administration to keep the internet unregulated. that was radical departure under
4:18 pm
obama's first fcc and so, you know, it is, for variety of reasons. on one hand some consumer groups say we need rules to keep it open. the fact is there are already rules, already laws that protect consumers, antitrust laws, consumer protect laws, unfair competition laws. all torts of laws. by the way the trial lawyers would have a fee day if the internet service providers did not -- david: we want to keep the lawyers out, make it as simple as possible, simple as possible, describe the rationale for net neutrality and why a company like netflix would be in favor of it. >> from the consumer perspective to keep the internet open and free is their line but in reality it's about tipping the scales for the so-called edge providers that provide content or applications. they wanted regulated prices for having to plug in to the internet networks. and it is the school of please regulate my rival but not me. we saw that, i saw that a lot at
4:19 pm
the fcc during myself years there. david: yeah. >> so unfortunately, you know, fcc from their perspective they just didn't have the legal authority granted to them from congress. the court largely agreed although there is still a shred of authority that the court left the fcc yesterday. david: let me make it very simple for netflix. we're look act stock, one year stock have way up but came down because of this ruling. 30% of the traffic on the internet at various times of the day and various times of the year come frrm netflix that company has so much stuff that it puts through those internet lines that 30% of its traffic and net neutrality would mean they wouldn't have to pay pour that but this ruling means that netflix, if they want to continue to put out that content, they're going to have to pay more for it, do i have that right? >> that's possible. i don't think anything is going to happen immediate. so this sudden stock price drop is probably a bit misguided but, what, you know, so netflix has had to pay to plug in its big
4:20 pm
pipes into the internet anyway. what this does is, it allows internet service providers to maybe have companies like netflix or espn or others to subsidize consumer's rates. if you're a consumer and watching a lot of netflix you will use up your data capacity pretty quickly. might have to pay more. if netflix can actually help subsidize the consumer it is good for consumers, we can keep rates low for consumers that is a good thing for everybody. david: the problem with these regulations, of course there is dollar and cents reason both sides can make it, but whenever you get the government more involved in something it is just the beginning. i've seen it all through my career. they begin small and get larger and one of the biggest concerns it sort of cedes ground to people like vladmir putin and other internationalists, some who are dictators who want to regulate the internet. this would give them the authority to say, if americans can do it more so can we. >> exactly.
4:21 pm
politicizes internet governance which historically has been non-governmental. you're absolutely right there is big treaty negotiation or starts or culminates this october in korea. 193 countries will get together to hammer out a treaty and putins of the world have the votes really to have a new international regulatory overlay over the internet's affairs. that could be very stifling. it will harm the developing world the most. these are country that is might vote for this ironically and harm the developed world, industrialized world the least. so it is a tragedy if this comes to fruition, but fcc goes forward with more regulations it only gives putins of the world political cover and veneer of intellectual argument to justify their actions. david: at very least what they will not able to do putins of world, americans are doing it, we can too based on this decision alone. great to see us, robert mc, thank you.
4:22 pm
>> happy to. we know ryan seacrest as host of "american idol" but cofounder of a company called typo that wants to put a blackberry-style keyboard on every phone. you can imagine blackberry doesn't want that. it is hitting back in the form of a lawsuit. but guess what, the ceo is forging forward. we've got typo's cofounder with us. they have sold out. david: you also have the devices. fun to play around. you will be able to see exactly what liz is talking about. also if you're a parent whoever wanted to have full control over what your kid watches on tv, viacom could have the answer for you soon. it could mine non-stop dora the explorer if you want. details coming next. ♪ [ male announcer ] this is the story of the little room over the pizza place on chestnut street the modest first floor bedroom in tallinn, estonia and the southbound bus barreli down i-95.

4:28 pm
responded felling report that's the sec agreement provide more robust relief to consumers. those refunds may be a drop in the buck kit for apple especially after the partnership with china mobile, the world's largest carrier launch this is friday. in interview with journalist in beijing, the partnership is working very well. in fact he said, quote, we haven't announced numbers but i can tell you last quarter we sold more iphones in greater china than anytime in our past so it was a record quarter, unquote. the china mobile chairman added they have received several million orders already in preorders for the iphone and in more news, cook said they plan to broaden their relationship with china mobile beyond iphones. he didn't really specify more than that just yet. now many iphone suppliers stand to benefit from a order spike. talking about cirrus logic, omnivision and nxp semiconductors. and take a quick look how apple's stock did today, closing up about 2%. china mobile relatively flat.

4:33 pm
real physical keyboard? well it looks like the new typo keyboard, this device attaches to your iphone, i'm holding it here. it gives you the qwerty keyboard, the tactile one, very much like the blackberry and your iphone just slips right into this thing? this is so cool, right? preorders already sold out. while consumers may be happy, blackberry is slapping the company with a lawsuit saying this is our proprietary information. they claim patent infringement. joining us the cofounder and ceo of typo. welcome. this is fascinating because i was at ces. there was a lot of buzz about your product yet blackberry says we're going to see you. can they impede what you're doing here? >> no, i don't think so. we started this two years ago and we did our research and we looked at all the patents out there and we don't believe we violated any of blackberry's patents and we'll vigorously defend this. liz: ryan seacrest will
4:34 pm
vigorously defend it along with you because he is a cofounder, right? let me show people. this comes in two pieces. this goes on top of the phone and this goes on the bottom. as i mentioned you just slide the iphone in, voila you have the qwerty bee board, there is software, has to be a bluetooth setup, right. >> works through the standard bluetooth that apple provides. liz: okay. >> but the keyboard works. no latency. we've had 400 people testing this keyboard for the last three or four months and people can type 50, 60 words a minute on it. that was our goal, to allow people to type superfast on iphone. i think we achieved that goal. liz: i am that person who said, i really do need the iphone because i need to be able to view video and see apps and attachments but i absolutely am married to the blackberry. so, am i your classic person? and how many of me are there out there where people are now carrying two heavy phones because they just can't get what
4:35 pm
they need from both? >> you know, we don't know. we did this, ryan and i have been friend and we, he brought it up, hey, why can't we have both these things? i had a technology business. i said, let me go develop this. the truth we developed this for ourselves. it ended up being a lot of people wanted it. so we're bringing it to market. our preorders have been amazing. we never thought we would be sold out in 30 days but that is the case. liz: how many? can you tell us? can you tell us how many? >> we can't disclose how many but i can tell you production runs on this type of product is quite a few. so we're very happy to have been sold out. definitely people are interested in buying this product. liz: why, why did ryan want it? was he one of the people carrying both the phone and the blackberry? >> yeah. so ryan, like i had two phones. we love, at the end of the day ryan like myself live our life on this thing. i travel a lot. he is busy to say the least. and he runs his entire business
4:36 pm
from the phone. so you know, carry two didn't make sense. iphone is fantastic phone. something had not been attempted by other people and never got it right. it took us a long time to really design this properly, really get the keyboard right. we had to miniature rise the battery. had to miniaturize the components and chip on board. it was not a simple product to develop and took a long time to get done but once it worked people love it. they can't live without it. they're on their phone 24 seven. liz: feels similar to the blackberry keyboard which i'm very comfortable with. number one the cost and number two will it be available on other products say the ipad? >> so the ipad, no. the cost is $99. it will be in stores in march. our initial order is sold out. it will be delivery end of february. we're looking at other products. we're focused really heavily on the iphone which is the big
4:37 pm
market. liz: which stores? >> we haven't disclosed that yet but we're talking to all the majors, verizon, t-mobile. liz: let me know when, okay? >> i will. i will. liz: it is an interesting product. typo and we'll watch blackberry's attempt to squash you guys or at least get money out of it. good luck to you and ryan seacrest. >> thank you. i hope you try it out. try it out for a few days. i think you will get addicted to it. liz: i'm happy to. i'm tired of carrying nine pounds of phones. thank you. >> thank you, liz. liz: see you next time. david, i will send it to you. david: let's talk football now. the nfl's concussion battle is heating up again and the league may be on the hook for even more money. we have the very latest coming next. also a brand new partnership between extreme networks and the national football league. it will make going to games a lot more fun and just in time for the super bowl. we have a fox business exclusive with chris control kroll, extreme network's chief operating officer. that is coming right up.

information in your hands but get information from the fans? >> so the way that the, wi-fi solution works, both up load and download. so up load would be an example of you taking pictures in-stadium and putting it on facebook, instagram. selfies. that's part of what we do in everyday life. why shouldn't you be able to do it inside of a in fl stadium or any other sporting venue? the other part is downloading content to do things interesting to you. for example, you're a real serious fan and you want to catch scores with the other games around the league, you can look at nfl red zone online, for example. you can track stats. so it does go both ways in terms of information flow but in terms of taking information from the user actually using it we're just managing the traffic patterns and managing the experience so it is better for everybody. david: traffic goes both ways. >> yeah. liz: fascinating now when you're at a football game, i was recently at a giants game, and everyone in the stadium was
