♪ >> i regret to say i can't hear the lyrics on this one. probably a good thing. i'm telling you the market opens in a couple of minutes and it's going to be a very big day and some questions that will have to be answered. should you buy now, buy a few bargains or is there worse to come and layoff for a bit? we'll have answers for you. let's bring in scott shellady, shall we? he's in chicago and he's going to answer this question. scott, i don't want you to answer this for investors -- for traders like you guys. i want you to answer the question for investors. is it time to buy now, get in now for the bargains or do you think there's worse still to come? go. >> i think there's worse still to come and as these traders behind me tell you, be careful about trying to catch a falling knife. a taper would be negative stock and now, we're also starting to have some folks start to talk about this, we're tapering because we're getting rid of a
9:30 am
bad economic policy that just hasn't helped the economy. and either one of those scenarios, it's probably not good for equities. we're going to need to see better news and friday would be a great start, but it's the start looking better as far as economic indicators go before you want to pile into this market. stuart: so don't catch, don't try to catch a falling knife. that's the bit of the answer i caught there. the bell has rung and they're starring to trade. up 10. and i'm going to pose the question to shah gilani joining us from warm miami. shop for the bargains or wait for what's to come. >> a no and a yes answer. and the shadow banking issue in china is something that investors have to be worried about. there's no containment of those two problems, i think we could see some global contagion and
9:31 am
that with certainly disrupt markets. in the longer term i think it's a buying opportunity. i think we have further down to go, but i think it's going to be a tremendous opportunity to buy here. again, the united states is still the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry and no place for us to go up up. stuart: not yet, shah? don't jump in yet, is that what you're saying? >> i say keep an eye on the short-term and see how things are going. there's no reason to jump in now. the market is not going to turn around and reverse and make new highs in a couple of days. stuart: a couple of days. okay. dow industrials in the very early going on this very important day coming off a 300 point loss. we're up 35 right at the opening bell. 15-4 is where we are. michael kors, a charles payne pick, it's up this morning big time. what's going on? >> a blow yout quarter. hits a new high today and they saw soaring demands here at home and in europe. the ceo, obviously, out there
9:32 am
saying that they had an outstanding holiday season and the global brand awareness continues to drive strong demands. the stock did so well and in north america, same-store sales in europe, the revenue more than doubled and they saw same-store sales jumping 73%. great move there. >> nicole, i'm sorry, i'm smiling because we've got a special guest coming up shortly. can't reveal the identity of that spanish guest, but she's making me smile. >> and waiting. stuart: hold on, happy birthday facebook, turns ten today. there's no impact on the stock, but nicole tell me where the shares are. >> and the big deal is on facebook. up 118% in the last year or so. it's up 2% today. 62.60. the annual high is 63, and there were a lot of of naysayers, when it was below 20 bucks mark zuckerberg said don't worry, hang in there and they've stuck
9:33 am
it out. stuart: now he's worth $23 billion a little lower than his age, i believe. the dow industrials are going up 57 points. not much of a bounce. and look at the 10-year treasury yield. come back in, shah gilani. i thought the interest rates were going up, but now the opposite, the rates are going down. does that mean the economy is in trouble? >> i don't think so, stuart, the numbers we're seeing on the economy are not frightening. we're not certainly growing at a rapid clip, but the yield on the 10-year slipping as it has and the rally in pricing is a result of the short-term look in terms of the international market and in teems of emerging market and time. i think it's a flight to quality trade and expected given this time globally. stuart: really fast, shah, satya nadella, an insider at microsoft
9:34 am
named the ceo. i think the stock is up a little on that news. what do you make of it? >> i'm dying for someone great to come in. i don't know his background and i have to take a hard look at him. i'm excited about microsoft in the future and i think with the right management i think the stock is a double. and already do own it and it's a good time to buy it. stuart: thanks, shah. three more big names that you know, i'll start with apple. quietly it's been making major investments in network equipment. that could signal a bigger move into television. the stocks at 505. don't forget amazon, it's down, down 13%. this calendar year, that's not much of a bounceback. it's up a buck at 347 now. rememb -- 3.47 now. and remember the barges? the state might make them move one of them, we're pointing google because it's been so much in the news. it's up today. j.c. penney gives an update on its sales performance. investors like it.
9:35 am
what's the stock doing, nicole? >> well, at least we're getting some clarity now on the j.c. penney numbers. stock is up almost 2% at 5.78 a share. you may remember they were talking about their holiday season and the company was pleased with their holiday season however, they didn't reveal nigh numbers and led everybody to say what happened? turns out the same-store sales holiday sales did go up. good job for j.c. penney. by the way, i still have that smile on my face because right now we are joined by someone who you are sure to know. she is the newest member of fox business team. ladies and gentlemen, making her first appearance on this network, this is maria bartiromo. welcome. >> hi there stuart. hi everybody, great to be with you, thanks so much. stuart: what took you so long? >> that's the question. wow, well, i'm happy to be here. everyone has been wonderful. thank you. stuart: let's hit the ground running. shall we?
9:36 am
you've got more experience in covering the market than i have. so what do you make of that market? you want to answer the question? >> yes. stuart: should you jump in now for the bargains or wait because there's more to come. >> that's the question you've been asking all of your guests. i'm one to believe you do not want to time this market. if you see an opportunity, and you see a market that looks that it has good stocks, that companies that are making money an enormous amount of cash on the balance sheet, you have to look at the market over the long-term and that's important because big selloff like we're seeing right now, enable opportunity, enable new people to come in. we may very well be seeing things begin to bottom out here, feels like a washout. stuart: we doesn't look to the tradeout so much. we don't look to the guy who is going to buy it now and sell in ten minutes. we're looking to the investor who ii going to hold this and it goes up over a long period of time. when you and i started out, it wasn't too long ago. >> cnn business news. stuart: yeah. >> a long time ago in the
9:37 am
morning. i'm not going to say how many years ago, i remember working alongside you in the morning, you and debby. stuart: that's right. >> just saying. stuart: we're not saying how long ago it was. >> i was at cnbc for 20 years and people can figure it out. stuart: they can do the math. back in those days when you and i started out we were always talking about general motors and alcoa, we don't do that any longer. we talk about amazon, we're talking about facebook, about twitter, apple, all of the -- i think that the u.s. economy has almost completely shifted, changed totally in the years since you and i started out those years ago. >> it absolutely has, stuart. everyone is looking for growth. where is the growth. and that's why we've seen such a strong one in technology. i would argue the strength that we saw at the end of the year and 2013 in tech was justified. it was very different than you saw in the 1990's where you had, you know, dot-comes rising so much in market value and even though they didn't have revenue growth and they didn't,
9:38 am
certainly didn't have earnings behind them. you know, this selloff that we've been seeing these last couple of weeks this year, so far in 2014, i would say, you have to expect it. i mean, we're coming off of a phenomenal year for stocks in 2013. you have a slowdown happening across the emerging markets. with the exception probably of mexico, mexico is seeing an enormous amount of money flows, but brazil, china, now, this was the talk of the town in davos that the emerging markets are clearly slowing. add to that the fed has begun tapering. we're down to 65 billion a month in terms of the fed. you made a great point that interest rates are still low, three-month lows i believe you just said. that does not offer any competition for equities. at the end of the day if you're a long-term thinker, a long-term investor you have to be in equities. so, and i suspect this is going to be another opportunity for people to come on, you've got the buy on the dippers going to see their opportunity come into this market, don't forget most portfolio managers today are sitting on 30% in cash.
9:39 am
there's a lot of wiggle room, a lot of opportunity for that money to find a home in stocks. stuart: put the camera on me for a second. ain't she good? . [laughter] in all the years you and i have been doing business news, is there a single top-notch business leader who you have not interviewed? >> well. stuart: you weren't expecting that. >> how about janet yellen? i'm calling you. stuart: anybody else? >> stuart, it's such a tough question. stuart: i've watched you i'm not going to say how many years, i've watched you, i can't think of anybody you haven't interviewed apart from janet yellen. >> i feel like i'm usually going for the person of the moment, the get of the moment and i think that probably right now is mark zuckerberg. so, that's-- >> good luck, bring it on. >> you've had the calls already. stuart: that's great. maria, welcome to fox business. >> thank you. stuart: great to have you with us. >> thank you so much. stuart: good luck now. and check the big board, where

this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high bloodressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't takeebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or inteste, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right awa you have swelling of the face or thro, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

9:45 am
>> it's a big deal. it's called targeted therapy, which we've known about for a while. here is how it works. it combines two drugs. on breast cancers that are estrogen dependent. that's 60% of them, they grow wildly, usually, and this drug uses an estrogen receptor blocker, plus something that stops the growth of the cancer cell. it's got a very fancy named called palvoakc lchlid. here is the headline. progression-free survival. women who took this drug didn't see breast cancer progress for 28 months, for two years, usually it's less than one year. it more than doubled the amount of survival without that cancer growing, big deal. stuart: so take this drug and the length of time in which the cancer's progress is arrested goes to 28 months, other drugs have arrested the progress of cancer for a year.
9:46 am
>> less, less than a year. stuart: this one extends way out there. does it reverse the cancer or just stop it? >> so far it looks like it just stops t they haven't tested it on the point you're making, does it reverse it. my bets are it just stops fwu that's a big deal when you're trying to treat breast cancer, trying to remove it and prevent it from spreading. they have to study it in early diagnosis and they still have to study it in late diagnosis. women that have it spread to the bones, liver or brain. you want to see how it will work there. i think it's extremely promising. this is a big drug and it's being fast-tracked. stuart: thanks, doctor. one more story for you. i'm told that the fda has approved a bill that you can swallow that-- so you don't have to have a colonoscopy. it goes down inside you and looks around and tells the doctor what it's seeing from inside you. is this accurate? >> it's called pill-cam, as opposed to the first story, this one is going to be a big business story. it's not as big medical story. here is why, they've never been

9:53 am
my take next hour, a little different for you today. i am going to pay tribute to the people who put this show be on the air. that will be at 10:25 this morning. then we have irs commissioner announcing that the irs will pay bonuses this year, they weren't paid last year, but they will this year and he says that's going it to boost morale. liz macdonald is here and can barely contain herself. go. >> you know, senator orrin hatch is saying this is outrageous and he's saying, he understands that not every irs worker was involved in the targeting scandal, but he says this sends the wrong signal to the american people to be paying the irs bonuses when we have not gotten to the bottom of what happened between the white house and discussions with the general counsel of the irs called 80 times in testimony before congress and the irs commissioner doug shulman who visited with the president in the white house. >> the president says there's not a smidgen of corruption within the irs, he said that in
9:54 am
the interview with bill o'reilly, not a smidgen. i'm going to be -- i'm going to say i think they got away with it. i think that the machinery of government was used to intimidate the president's political opponents. and i think they've gotten away with it. >> and also to put a moat around the white house, it it seems, appears that way. the only way to get to the bottom of this is with a special prosecutor. if janet reno can call a special prosecutor to look into whitewater or a special prosecutor to look into hamilton alleged drug use in the carter administration, this is calling in credibility of the tax system of the united states, we're running up to a rough filing season right now. so political manipulation is taboo and it's taboo since the irs was started. stuart: they should not do anything like that, this is the united states of america, but who had the authority to bring in a special prosecutor? who's got that authority? >> congress? >> it would be eric holder to
9:55 am
call it as janet reno called for a special prosecutor to look into whitehitewater. stuart: what are the odds? >> probably slim to none. stuart: exactly, they got away with it. liz, that's my editorial there, not yours. i'm allowed to do that. president obama says the welfare state has not grown under him. what? new at 10:00 the numbers that show otherwise. the pill you take so you don't have to remember your passwords anymore? our tech guy loves it. would you take it? all of that, charles payne and more, he joins us for a fresh hour of varney next. life's an adventure when you're with her.

10:05 am
today it is one out of six. i do not even know why he agreed to this interview. stuart: i disagree slightly. i think the president knows that this extension of welfare is basically unpopular. very unpopular. i think he is trying to run away from the welfare state that he has created. i think he knows that it is bad politics. that is my opinion. in that found soundbite that people are willing to work very hard.
10:06 am
you do not have to be willing to work hard to get food stamps. >> i will agree to you. he wants americans to come out and vote for more free stuff. his policies are not creating jobs. that is the key here. he knows he has a captive audience of democrat voters. stuart: i want you to listen to this quickly. said about the tough questions that bill o'reilly was asking him. >> do you think i am unfair to you? >> of course you are. >> you cannot make that accusation without telling me. the list of issues that you talk
