1:03 pm
>> well, look, we have more uncertainty right now that we certainly did a couple of weeks ago. china's economy is slowing a little bit. the surprise in argentina -- although, that really is not a surprise. the market is due for a pullback. a pause at the very least. it has been a year and a half since we have had a correction. that is a long time. this should not be a surprise. we do think that it will be short-lived. lori: that is a relief. a lot of commentary to the feds roll. now that the taper is underway, there are fewer dollars being invested.
1:04 pm
>> i do not really -- i do not think -- i do not think it was the primary reason for the rally. i think fed policy has been helpful. i think it has been fundamentally driven. the reality is, monetary policy will remain extraordinarily accommodative for several more years, even as we taper and even when we finish tapering. interest rates at the short and will be grounded at a very low level for several years. lori: okay. i want to leave it there. you think that this correction, if you want to call it that, actually, what is the best way to characterize what we are seeing in the markets? >> well, right now it is just
1:05 pm
noise. i do not think we will have a bear market. i do think that we will have a pullback and maybe even a correction. i mention it will be short-lived because there is plenty of money on the sidelines. oh, by the way, the ten year treasury yield is coming down with this selloff. all of a sudden, dividend yields are looking that much more a track if. lori: right. you have those risk averse type stocks. if you are a shorter term investor, should you reign in your risk a little bit right now. >> it is a very challenging question. on the one hand, the economic

1:11 pm
ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors 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. 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. move here, expand here, or start a new business here and pay no taxes for ten years... we're new york.

1:15 pm
>> i think that it may be an issue down the road. there was talk of them trying to buy a $2 billion line. what type of security protections are those investors trying to get in order to lend that money. probably pretty big ones. i think you have to be pretty concerned. the other aspect is while the price of the bonds have gone down, they are still paying coupons. if they restructure, their net income stream stops. you will see more widespread selling. adam: we will talk to you about puerto rico. we have done that in the past. the thing to watch is detroit. why is that kind of your barometer on how to gauge
1:16 pm
things? >> over a third of the market is based on the municipal bond market. it is being called into question here. it is a big change. i think the outcome of this may not be unsold for years. it will take some time. i think we are watching very carefully to see what it means, not only for general bonds in michigan, but others as well. it is definitely worth watching. connell: at the losses last year had more to do with interest rates and less to do with risk aversion. a lot of us thought it was puerto rico.
1:17 pm
>> you pointed to a negative year. figure was down about 2.5%. from the end of april until the middle of june, that index was down almost 5%. right around the time that chairman bernanke pers testified to congress in may. i think it was really all about rates. they began to liquidate the duration holdings. over $50 billion came out of muni funds during that period of time. i think it was more about rates and a lot less about credit. adam: that investors are actually going into muni's. we will talk about that next time. it is always great to see you.

lori: we are in definite selloff mode on wall street with the dow and s&p flirting with their biggest decline since august. send it down to the floor of the new york stock exchange and jason wisering for his take. right now the dow is off 204 points. we're just below the key 16,000 mark on the index. how do you think this day, this week is going to wrap up? >> well we'll probably end up near the lows for the week unfortunately. i don't know that it is exactly justified but if people are looking for reason to sell and using emerging markets as that reason they are boeing to sell them and seems to be momentum players are driving the process here and we've lost sight of fundamentals. you can't fight the tape and this is perfect example of don't try to catch a falling knife. lori: yeah. so we know we have a fed meeting next week. is this another situation of good news on the economy is being translated into bad news
1:31 pm
by way of bullish or investors who are long the u.s. market? >> you know, i don't know. i don't think we'll get much out of the fed next week. they have been pretty clear what their intentions are. they haven't varied that much. i don't think the market is really selling off as a result of the economy getting better. i think people are spooked what is going on in emerging markets. certainly in the municipal bond, the situation in puerto rico. you couple that with what is going on in argentina and turkey, not that turkey has a huge impact on the markets here but you know, i'll go back when we had the whole greece debacle. really didn't have major impact here but, it was nice reason to sell things off but -- lori: jason, doesn't some of that stem from fed and the accommodative monetary policy and now that, look, there was the hilsenrath piece last week in the journal suggesting we will step up the taper, the fed will step up the taper.
1:32 pm
with fewer dollars being invested in these emerging markets the fear is building on itself? this is a very much a psychological move around the world? >> you know, you made a very good point. it's a psychological move. it is not necessarily reality move. and truth be told that if we don't, if the fed tapers their spending, in terms of their purchasing, you know what? that means that the economy is getting healthier and act on its own without crush of the government and long-term that bodes very well for the market. lori: jason weisberg. thank you so much. adam: denver broncos and seattle seahawks are getting ready to do battle at super bowl xlviii a week from sunday but a ticket on the retail market will cost you big-time. guess, how much, don't look at it? lori: a million bucks? adam: that is the most expensive actually. 1800 all the way up to 800,000 bucks. but our next guest says there are still some deals.

ashley: good afternoon, everybody, i'm ashley webster. tracy: and i'm tracy byrnes. zig when they tell you to zag. experts told you to buy stock and sell gold going into 2014. what happened? the complete opposite. dow is down and gold is up. we have all-star panel ahead to let you know what you need to do with your money. ashley: smoking profits. attorney general eric holder
2:00 pm
wants to make it illegal to hold marijuana growing money in banks. will the country go to pot? we'll go live to d.c. and finish the puns. tracy: there are plenty more i'm sure. from marijuana to wine, in our friday feature "wine with me." we have a burgundy on set that could go for $6,000. nobody touch it. ashley: don't drop it. facebook fighting back. we have the company's reaction to the story told you about yesterday that the sees an end to the social network by 2017. we'll have that and so much more on this tgif edition of "markets now." tracy: we're having a good time. markets not to much. time for the stocks. nicole petallides on the floor of the exchanges. big losses. >> the dow is down 206 points. the dow in percentage terms down 1 1/4%. s&p 500 down nearly 1 1/2% at 1802 and the nasdaq composite
2:01 pm
down over 1 1/2% today. so obviously a tough day. a tough week, and a tough month. this will be obviously our first down month since august. we are seeing selling across the board. it is risk off. they're selling everything from financials to materials and the like. areas that are doing well are the safe havens, telecom and utilities. they trade like bond because obviously they have yields. also we're seeing bond and investment in gold. you're talking a lot about that. gold is up today and the vix, the fear index, showing volatility is here and the transports by the way have accelerated selling down 3 1/2%. back to you. ashley: nicole, thank you very much. playing safe right now but does my of the blame for this market meltdown if that's what you want to call it go to the fed? let's go to our fed reporter peter barnes joining from us inside the beltway with that part of the story. peter. >> ashley the said announced it would start tapering billions in
2:02 pm
bond purchases and the market action back then was say, whoo-hoo, the keep the party going. the fed must see the economy getting better. the dow powered through the end of the-year higher ending at 16,500. recently it seemed to dawn on investors, tapering meant that the fed of starting to end five years of easy money, even if just gradually. suddenly fundamentals are all the rage. fundamentals of emerging market economies. fundamentals of companies and their profits. >> the market is priced high. so we can't just base it on the market doing well. now we have to look at the individual companies. you just can't get in an index and think you're going to do well. if you're going to invest in the u.s. you have to have a manager or you yourself will have to be more selective on stocks you choose. >> campbell says one new development is that generally companies are hitting their projected earnings but they aren't giving investors the3
2:03 pm
upside surprises that they got used to. the fed meets again next week and is expected to continue the taper. ashley, tracy. tracy: yeah, sure is especially after jon hilsenrath's article everyone is in kind of a tizzy about it. peter, stick around. dow at the lows now, with all three major averages in the trend and it seems to be the trend for fourth so what is going on? -- 2014. experts said said the course, stay in equities. were they wrong? michael cuggino, permanent portfolio president in san francisco. of course we also have here on set our very own lizzie mack and charles payne. freezing here in fox business headquarters here in new york city. i'm going to the warm part of the country first out in san francisco. michael, what gives here? are you still telling people stay the course, stick with stocks or is this stuff making you nervous? >> well, it depend what your risk profile is.
2:04 pm
i mean i think what we're seeing is a little bit of a hangover from last year, a little bit of selling new year given tax increases last year. people deferring gains into the new year and investors trying to figure out whether, you know the data points of late last year and strengthening economic growth here and abroad are really accurate. and you know, you guys mentioned the fed a little bit earlier too. are they increasing their taper? what other measures will take, et cetera? there is lot of indecision. three weeks does not a year make. i don't think investors need to panic here. we don't have anywhere near a technical correction in stocks yet. let's be realistic but diversification, balance, taking profits off the table, hedging against equity risks are reasonable. you have to remember you're in the fifth year of a bull market. stocks have had an incredible run since march of 09 lows. at some point they're going to correct. ashley: interesting stuff. charles, to you, michael just
2:05 pm
said seeps somewhat reasonable given the length of this bull run. >> right. ashley: concerns daily from china. is it the fed, is it the earnings, the lack of you know, optimistic guidance, what is it? >> i guess you could say d a little bit, all of the above. listen mike makes a great point, up 10,000 points in five years. up 30% last year. the notion that the market doesn't pull back or you have to panic every time it does is dangerous for individual investor and why most end up losing and not winning. having said that, peter pointed out to what i think is the challenge. the enthusiasm baton gone for a lot of people of being defensive position with easy money to the economy all is well. that jobs report was a dud, it was a big-time dud heard around the world. china this week, the pmi, manufacturing data went into contraction. that sparked emerging markets currency crisis. which by the way a lot of these countries have individual issues. turkey has political crisis,
2:06 pm
argentina and so forth. there are a lot of question marks and the markets get nervous when there's question marks. >> there is common sense reality gut check and the gut check is the emerging markets. to peter's point the fed taper. that is the word that the fed taper will be hitting emerging markets. it feels like 2010. we're talking about china and currencies again and emerging markets. i wonder if we lose ashley to go over to egypt. ashley: don't even think it. tracy: no! >> emerging market and fed taper hitting emerging markets. this is such common sense. "the economist" magazine ran a great item last weekend. everybody should have taken a look at it because emerging markets are notoriously illiquid. watch this. egypt's entire market value for entire stock market in cairo is equal to the size of get this, we'll get it in a minute, burger king. india -- ashley: what? >> india equal to nestle. goldman sachs equal to indonesia. these emerging markets have been notoriously locked up and
2:07 pm
illiquid. no reason to go there as a couch investor. you have to know what you're doing and know that the fed taper would hit them hard. tracy: but, peter, it took forever, for the taper to make it, i mean for this monetary policy to come down to main street. is it really going to hit these country that is hard? i mean, come on, it is not an on-off switch thing. >> you know the fed chairman bernanke has said that, you know, we don't set policy based on what is going on in emerging markets. >> there you go. >> all these flows have been in and out based on fundamentals of those different countries. but, you know the others are skeptical that the fed really may think that way. >> really amazing, goldman sachs's david cost ten got such blow back, people got a fit when he said he thinks markets are overvalued. he got a lost questions coming back. it is an earnings game of course right now in the markets and what are the projections? s&p up just 5% this year.
2:08 pm
maybe the markets are weeding out the dogs of your portfolio you should have gotten rid of in december. ashley: michael, a stock-picker's market no doubt for the retail investor, the mom-and-pop investors, this is kind of scary territory which is why we're seeing a lot of money going into these safe havens. what advice do you have to the investor out there? >> well i mean if you're an equity investor and i buy that the fed can surgeally manuever themselves and growth story is go, go, go i think it is a little excessive on estimates i'm seeing but that is debatable. you should buy stocks and take a period like this to consolidate and buy the names you want to get into. we tend to, for equity investor that's a great. stocks are not overly priced. they're reasonable. but there is no we that prices outkicked their coverage so to speak and economic growth and top-line growth have to pick up and catch up if you will. we would also recommend in bonds to be shorter duration, high quality. and if rates continue to come down you can take a little bit
2:09 pm
in terms of, duration risk there, maybe to clip coupons. but we would also recommend diversification in environment like this if you really don't know and don't have a comfortable strong gut one way or the other stay diversified. stay in stocks and bonds and asset like gold beaten down incredibly last year-and-a-half or so for the long-term investor. tracy: charles, over to you, traders are the most superstitious of the bunch. how january goes is the rest of the year. is this a self-fulfilling prophecy? if january is down and this will kill it and there goes the year. >> after three days into the year it was first down year since 2011. a lot of people have been afraid day one. i asked my subscribers go to 21% cash. we sold a lot of winners. sold one that is come back. you wait on this, see where it goes. technical levels, see if they hold, if they don't. start to buy great american companies on egg weakness. stick with the mantra, great companies. great company can have overpriced stock but at some
2:10 pm
point it will catch up to the price or vice versa. tracy: good stuff, you guys. michael. ashley: charles payne, liz macdonald, peter barnes in d.c., thanks for hanging with us. ashley: goes quickly, doesn't it? just warming up and we have to go. oh to be a fly on the wall at this meeting. we'll tell you about the pope's visit with two-timing french president francois holland. tracy: oh, my god, that needs to be a miniseries. in "wine with me", there are auctions and great french wines. rare burgundy is is up for auction and you won't believe how much these bottles will be going for. ashley: more than i can afford. from wine to pot. eric holder wants to make it illegal for marijuana money to be held in banks. will the country go to pot. we'll have your tweets. ♪

gravel, crushed rock, this is about construction, building miss cereals. ashley: it is trading, thank you so much. tracy: getting ready to kick off the new york auctions with a once in a generation sale. the first time ever you can bet on 1900 models of rare french burgundy, direct from the seller's. it spans 5 decades and estimated to garner $650,000. jamie richie, so why do they decide now to auction this line? >> the interesting demand for burgundy worldwide in north america and latin america and asia, an opportunity for them to sort of reward the people who want to taste these wines, the older binges lying in their cellars, can't go to burgundy to do that. tracy: it has legitimate begin selling in cellars all those
2:44 pm
years and some go back as far -- >> 1961. ashley: they never touch them. >> burgundy produces small quantities of wine, rare for them to have any quantities so this is real ones in a generation. tracy: burgundy, northern france, a lot of it beat the reds. >> the reds are pretty much chardonnay. tracy: the burgundy -- >> there is a movement worldwide toward less extracted, more elegant -- in the wind. tracy: away from the big cats and cat lovers will deny that. >> there's a general movement. tracy: let's talk about the auction market. it has taken over $40 million in sales on the internet last year.
2:45 pm
>> they are growing another channel of trading wine and that is growing, the auction business is pretty consistent. we are seeing demand for wine at the mature side. the market for younger wine is flat. tracy: the market for the collector is interesting to me because is their liquidity in it? if i do need the money and need to sell these wines can i do that quickly? >> it only takes between week and three months. the market is liquid but obviously they go up and down. if you for younger wines, they need a longer time. tracy: talk about what you are auctioning. >> the two on the right, there is the 2009 magnum, $1,500 a magnum and -- tracy: you think that will go
2:46 pm
for 6,000? >> the one which will -- around a sixth house to 8,000 obama, 6 liter which is 50 to $70,000. tracy: you will sell all of this and tell us about it? >> i would love to. tracy: i apologize we have breaking news. good luck with all that. i will take the leftovers. ashley: quarter till, time for stocks as we do every 15 minutes let's head to the stock exchange, a great day, we always have a great day, and obviously down big time but utilities, consumer staples seeing gains. it is all about defensive positions? >> always something to do no matter what the environment, it is an ugly day and been a pretty ugly month and there is a lot of 2020 hindsight in terms of why
2:47 pm
this is happening but the fact is down 250, anyone says it doesn't isn't telling the truth. we are a little spoiled. money will tend to gravitate to the bonds, and consumer staples, money always move somewhere and if it takes risk off the table and keep money working you move to the more stable areas and utilities clearly would be one of them. ashley: how much earnings playing into this? we have always to go. our earnings and guidance we are hearing a part of the sell-off? >> guidance is trifecta. and it depends on who is delivering the message, the guidance is important because the stock market as an indicator is a forward-looking indicator and guidance is a
2:48 pm
forward-looking indicator so you can beat on two and if you miss on guidance that is a problem but i would say on balance the earnings have been pretty good if not very good. we had some really terrific earnings, high-profile companies. we just seem to be on the other side of the risk mountain on a moment and it is risk off and doesn't matter what you do or how you'd do it. they want to take money off the table. ashley: thanks so much. >> my pleasure, thank you. tracy: cnn's justin bieber debacle, actually spending time to air a special on this wacky 19-year-old. ashley: details of the meeting with embattled french president francois hollande. should be interesting next. ♪ ♪
