>> has the selling stopped? maybe. have the buyers returned? yes for some big-named stocks that you know. good morning, everyone. the dow will open this morning with a very modest gain. since monday that hectic selling, that appears to have stopped. let's get to the buying. stand up and cheer if you own green mountain coffee, soda stream or disney. they are up. and then there's twitter, watch out below. 331,000 new people joined and signed up for unemployment checks last week. they should cheer up, surely. haven't they been liberated from the rigors of work? and look at this, a 3-d multi-color desk top printer printing away 3-d in our studio. here comes 3-d to your home.
9:23 am
>> they're off and running. the sochi olympic games officially underway. by shaping up, it's expected to be a tough sled. excuse the pun. take a look at the pictures. trash on the streets and packs of stray dogs roaming around the olympic village area unfinished rooms. and toxic yellow water. guests be warned don't touch it. and possible terror threats and may plan attack planes flying into sochi using contained in tooth tubes. there's absolutely no comparison except from the pr angle, but remember what happened at the super bowl. transit nightmares and people stranded at new jersey train stations for hours. again, new jersey is not sochi, but these big sporting events bring in big tv audiences and money for the sponsors.
9:24 am
they're no longer just for spectators, they're primarily a global tv events. image counts and right now russia's image taking a big hit. we cannot underestimate the scope of the weather impact on the economy. ice, snow, blanketing the northeast and the midwest the last couple of days. snow frozen so solid you can stand on it and it's causing power outages, too, that's damages. millions in the dark and many of them in pennsylvania. that state energy company calling it the second worst power failure on record. more than a thousand utility workers trying to fix the blackouts there. power or outages, they have a big impact on the economic activity, that is being felt. now, to the markets. yeah, we're set to open just a little higher, maybe 50 points higher this morning and we're going to repeat and ask the questions of the weak, has the selling stopped? is it time to start buying? we've got a very big loser today. it's twitter.
9:25 am
it will open way down. user growth slowing, that's the problem. our twitter bears called it on the ipo day back in november. do you remember this? >> the user base of small revenues are going in the wrong direction. you have losses mounting and no idea how to make a profit. i want real products, real profits and real executives it know what they're doing. >> they have yet to prove they're indispensable. they've got to hold onto business. >> as a business it doesn't seem like a good one. where are the valuations coming from, it's like wall street is in a feeding frenzy. they're eager to sink their teeth in. [ male announcer ] this is karen and jeremiah. they don't know it yet, but they're gonna fall in ve, get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughg ] move to the country,

[ dog barks ] becae right after they get married, they'll find some financial folks who will talk to them about preparing early for retirement and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. 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. 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. [ mawhile a body in motionat resnds to stay in motion... we're open to it. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you he arthritis, this can be difficult.
9:27 am
prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. beuse just one 200mg cebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the befits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. 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 ireased 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 away if you have swelling of the face or thro, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history.
9:28 am

9:30 am
green mountain coffee, that's going to go up. disney, making money on nearly every front, not just the movie side there, corporate news flooding the wires today. we've got the angles coming. a few seconds from the bell, that bell will ring. then they'll start trading and looking for a gain of, 30, 40, maybe 50 points at the bell. michael robinson from money map press and sandra smith is here, and michael smith of social radar, we'll get comments from all of them in a moment. first to the market, the opening trend is up. it makes a nice change. 12 points in the very, very early going, the dow, remember, 15,450 at the moment. that means we're down still over 1,000 points in this calendar year. right out of the box let's go straight to the price of twitter. i know it's going be to be down. i know it's going to be down big. user growth, user growth is slowing. not as fast a pace as everybody wanted to see.
9:31 am
the stock is at 50. down 24%. michael robinson, is twitter a buy at 50? >> no way to know exactly if it's a buy at $50. you know, the thing i worry about, we talked about this in the past,stuart. when i've got post ipo like this, it's always volatile. this is not the first time we've seen a big social media giant stumble shortly after the ipo. stuart: come on, michael, you're the guy who jumped out of the box and said apple's going to 1,000 and you're not quite sure whether you'd buy twitter at 50? come on. >> there's no way to really value it whether it's worth $50 today or 25. apple is a different company, that's not a post-ipo. stuart: is that a no? >> that's a no, i wouldn't buy at $50. stuart: michael chasen, he's in the medda game. why are fewer people signing up for twitter? >> it's not that fewer people are signing up.
9:32 am
it's growth has slowed. he had 9 million new users this past quarter and beat revenue expectations. stuart: it's the signups, that's what i'm interested in. it's the signups, that's why it's down. 9 million not good enough. what do you say? >> i think that twitter has a giant global opportunity and they'll continue to rise and i think this stumble out of the gate is not dissimilar to the stumble that facebook had. look where they are. at the end of the day twitter beat revenue estimates, earnings estimates and growth sup. year over year and quarter after quarter. stuart: i don't care about that. you're dying to get in, facebook has way more active users. >> these are astounding numbers. total twitter active numbers. 241 million. a huge disappointment. if you want to compare this to facebook, total active users, 1.2 billion. you're talking about adding 9
9:33 am
million users a month, that's a drop in the bucket. stuart: you watch me try to calm things down here, i've got to move onto something bigger, green mountain coffee, coca-cola takes a 10% stake, 10-year partnership. green mountain straight up. and michael robinson, is it time to sell when it's up 40% on the day? >> depends on when you entered, obviously. in a market like this, i would be playing moneyball and take smaller profits and take om money off of the table, but like to ride it out a little while longer and see where it's going to go. you look at the impact that a tweak in technology has, a whole new thing with soda stream, the single cup brew. so technology has come in and changed two industries, really, that were considered morabund ten years ago. stuart: and i want to say with
9:34 am
full roasting coffees. >> there's a dropping down in brazil where the coffee comes from. stuart: does it affect green mountain coffee roasters? >> no, unfortunately for us, most the time when coffee prices go up, the retailer will raise prices, but coffee is it an extremely profitable business and that's why you see dunkin' donuts, mcdonald's, starbucks, green mountain fighting for a piece of this. total growth profit margins green mountain 2013 was 37%, very profitable business and it prices well. if the coffee price goes up, they pass it along to the consumer. stuart: that's a margin. by the way, soda stream is up in sympathy with green mountain. now, soda stream, that's already in the homemade beverage game that coke is trying to get into. it's getting into it and that's up in sympathy with green mountain, up 5, nearly 6%, another big mover, its name is disney. strong numbers there and all cylinders.
9:35 am
the animated movie "frozen" made big money. nicole, come in and tell us about disney. >> up 5 1/2% at 75.66. they did well across the board in all of their businesses. of course, you have the blockbuster movie "frozen" and thor" both did so well for disney. the interactive gaming unit which was lagging they have the game infinity, the stock is soaring. stuart: i saw ceo bob iger on the willis report, fox business, last night. did he say he doesn't have much confidence in the-- confidence of consumers? >> yeah, when asked what he sees going forward, he says that the recession left an indellable mark on consumer confidence. disney is seen as a barometer for the u.s. economy, the global economy and he's showing concern about the consumer and spending habits. stuart: before we go to nicole on gomes. i want to go to the dow and asking two questions. has the selling ended? well, that's a gain of 88 points, that's not bad. i'm going to call this stability, okay?
9:36 am
all right, nicole, general motors, didn't make as much as the all-seeing analysts on wall street were expecting. the stock is down. >> down 1.2%, and they saw some weakness in north america, asia, south america and it's disappointing for them, they said that the analysts didn't account for the restructuring, especially the closing of a plant in germany and said that the analysts didn't get it right. so ford and gm are lower today. stuart: leaving the stock market, and bringing in just a touch of politics and culture. and that's what i have. let's go to tres knippa in chicago. all right, 331,000 people filed jobless claims last week. the democrats say don't worry, all of these laid off people, they have been liberated. they are free to pursue their dreams. how do you feel about that? tres knippa. >> you know, stuart, i find it rather odd that somebody can
9:37 am
present forth an idea that says a government program is meant to liberate me. doesn't that sound a little bit ironic, that it actually takes the government to liberate me. and that that is so vile and disgusting down to my very core, i can barely stand it. this administration has reached new lows with this comments about, oh, the obamacare is going to actually free me up to follow my dreams. my dreams are up to me. it's not going to come from washington. it doesn't come from the incentive there. and for me, this is-- like i said, this administration has reached a new low with this one. stuart: you're in chicago, i'm in new york. i felt those vibes coming at me from a thousand miles away. thank you, trey. we appreciate it, good stuff. back to the markets and back to nicole. the new mileston for tesla, the consumer finds the company is the fifth best perceived auto maker in america. so the stock is.
9:38 am
>> stock is higher again. it doesn't sound great, but it used to be 11. so it's in climbing the consumer reports ladder. and the model s has gotten near perfect stocks. i think everyone would love this one, up 345% in one year. stuart: i'd love it if i bought the thing. thanks, nicole. let's move onto sony. big changes there, it's going to sell off the struggling bio, the pc business it has, vio. and a layoff of 5,000 people. all right, michael, a smart move to buy sony? that's a tech name from way back when. >> i think it's a smart move to buy sony not just because they're selling off the pc division, but announced they're spinning out the tv division and this then should allow sony at phe end of the day to report higher profits and higher earnings and also, i think this restructuring is going to be better for the company because they'll be able to really focus on just their core areas. they're seeing a lot of traction in mobile, a lots of traction in
9:39 am
gaming. getting rid of the distractions at the end of the day is a good bottom line for the company. stuart: and turning that thing around. i remember the days of the walkman and the trinitron tv. i had one. >> what it's saying, sony is another company that come out and said, look, it's basically the death of the pc business going on. people are shedding that part of the business. we're focusing on mobile and gaming. and leaders in hardware saying the business is on a decline and we don't want to be a part of it. stuart: we hear you. thank you. look at the big board, up 85 points and asking those questions has the selling stopped? i'm saying we have stability at 15-5. lose your job in democrats say, oh, you've been liberated. more on that in a moment. ♪ you're so vain you probably

10:03 am
spending, that is the big deal. twitter is a game-changer. this is taking the fluff out of the stock. stuart: the selloff is because the only signed up 9 million new subscribers. you are not buying into that. let's see what happens. we are following it for you. a new google glass app allows users identify the people around them just by looking at them. users can see other people's names, their occupation, their age, and all other kinds of personal information. you just look at them and up pops this information right in front of you. does that raise privacy concerns? judge andrew napolitano. are you worried about this? >> i would be worried if the government was doing it. the fourth amendment has the
10:04 am
guarantees of privacy, protects us against the government, does not protect us against each other. does not protect us against private invasions of privacy. but as i understand it, and i may be weakening my understanding, but when this thing comes on, i see you in a restaurant and all of a sudden your image is in my google glass, it will send to my handheld information that you have made available to various social media outlets. it is not going to give me something that you have kept secret. it will only keep that which you have chosen to reveal two other social media outlets. the lesson here is not this is an invasion of privacy, the lesson is somebody can gathered what you can already have made public and acquire it instantaneous. they can acquire it without even typing in your name because of facial recognition software.
10:05 am
stuart: google is harnessing facial recognition. >> which is extraordinary. stuart: absolutely. instantly, instantly it is using a massive computing power to find out everything that has been written about you. >> or that i have voluntarily revealed like now when i'm on fox but when i put things on the various social media places where i put things, facebook and twitter. it will not show a picture. stuart: supposing things come up that i have not put on a social network. like if i had a criminal record. >> they may be capturing something that somebody else put up and invaded privacy, but the original criminal is the original invader, not the person who posted it.
10:06 am
>> that happens all the time on facebook people you are friends with post pictures of you from grammar school or high school. this is coming off of the company name tag, you upload immediately into the glass application. and also it will upload, could upload what people put on their dating website or other websites. the dating profiles as well could be uploaded. >> if the government did this it would run a foul basic fourth amendment principles which basically say for the government to start an investigation needs evidence. stuart: supposing a police officer wears google glass. >> not permitted by the fourth amendment. he cap begin downloading information about you without what is called articulable suspicion. something he can say as to why your behavior is suspicious and has to commence an

restricting conservative nonprofits. you have more on this. liz: this is about at a time in the white house said it will be most transparent the administration ever. what this means is essentially that it will restrict the activities of groups that have been educating the public for example about the size of government, government spending, the constitution or abuse of the constitution. if that information is in voters guides, that will be considered lytic collectivity. rulemaking is being done not in public, being chased behind closed doors and that is what has got people upset. stuart: did they or did they not use the machinery of the government to intimidate the opponents in 2012? >> only a special prosecutor could find out. stuart: strangely mute this morning. >> they are master that using the machinery of government to intimidate people. stuart: he will never get a

special prosecutor because eric holder will not appoint one. the leaders this and it could not appoint one, could he? speaker of the hous house could. >> only the speake attorney genl could. stuart: i have to move. some obamacare headlines for you this morning become a lot harder to find a doctor. the headline in the "wall street journal" this morning. the headline reads insurers they news pressure of limited doctor choice. that is interesting. more on this. what more have you got on this story? >> i asked millennial's last night, so what are your thoughts on obamacare in your economy? i was really fascinated because it did not get a barrage of e-mails of high premiums, i did get a few of those, but these millennials are so concerned of how obamacare is affecting their
10:10 am
employment prospects, so for millennials lucky enough to have a job, they have seen their hours reduced. close it has not been to find a job, they are hoping, getting jobs in massage therapy. they cannot get a job and blaming it on obamacare, which is fascinating. stuart: talking about their experience with obamacare. the people who you would ask, they would be disposed, everybody knows it. >> have 4000 friendd on facebook of all different sides. libertarians, conservatives, liberals, it is a broad spectrum. there were one or two positive stories but by and large all ideologies are blaming it on obamacare. when i approached them about employment prospects and say did you know jay carney said
10:11 am
obamacare is giving people the opportunity not to work, millennials were outraged at that. if you are one of the one in 2000 to apply for a job and able to get one, you will do everything you can to keep it and gladly would trade places with any of those people who would choose not to work because he has had only internship and part time employment he blames obamacare, which is really interesting. often votes on social issues. he is voting republican. stuart: so if you are unemployed, you young folks, you don't feel liberated to pursue your dreams, correct? >> that is absolutely right, stuart. while they have opportunities to get higher degrees, people cannot afford it. they say i'll take the job at starbucks even if it means giving up my dreams. it is very sad. check out my facebook, you can

and i was like, "are you kidding me?" [ da] it's just humanature to focus on the here and now. so it's hard to imagine h much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ ♪ stuart: disney made a lot of money on the animated movie "frozen." the stock is up on that move, 6%, however the ceo doesn't have too much faith in the economy or the consumer going forward. listen to this. >> i say right now what we are seeing is relatively improved economy versus maybe a year ago. there is still not that much
10:16 am
visibility, not huge confidence out there, it doesn't necessarily mean people are pessimistic. this suggests we are just somewhat uncertain. stuart: that is from "the willis report" last night. there's not a lot of confidence from people out there. i'm kind of surprised by that. his company just made a whopping great big profit and firing on all cylinders. why would he say something like this? >> consumer spending grew at the fastest pace the third quarter of last year propelling gdp growth. 33 ceos also spoke the "wall street journal" and are worried about consumer spending, worried about the consumer and that is one of the reasons they are hoarding cash on the balance sheet. stuart: it is confidence he pointed out, they are not confident of the future. maybe it is all fox news coming up with negatives. liz: it is a general economic

hypochondria going on. stuart: that is good. liz: that we have seen the last two years. stuart: be careful kids, that is going to get right up there. now what we're calling a gambling problem. collectively all of us in america we lost $119 billion last year just in the united states. here is dr. keith ablow. i don't gamble, but can you tell us why is it people keep on coming back when they are losing this kind of money? >> people keep coming back because they want to feel like winners. they want to distract themselves. gambling can be a drug. they want to entertain themselves, that is maybe the good side of cameron. the real money to made in las vegas and casino owners and in atlantic city are for the most folks who keep coming back
10:18 am
and they are addicted to risk, and they are looking for some way to confirm they are lucky. a lot of those folks end up in my office because something convinced them early on that they weren't worthwhile, they are trying to counter that by having a slot machine pour out some quarters. stuart: he wants that he is only happy when he has everything on the line. everything at stake. back to him his life, you get that? >> that is his life. what skill is involved? not much. in traps the odds a little bit better than at the slot machine. it takes a little bit of skill but really what these people are saying is i didn't have any control early in my life, i kind of touched base with that feeling when i'm in the casino
10:19 am
and the odds are stacked against me, i have no control. they are replying something and playing it again. that is a pathological side of behaviors. we talked about the ethical business. stuart: i want to get your comment. as you know, banning tobacco products on all of the stores. you see a contradiction here between a company that bans that line of products but at the same time sells many other product lines which some would say are equally harmful to your health? is there a contradiction? >> i would not say the candy in the candy aisle are equal to cigarettes. the contradiction would be selling cigarettes at the checkout and in the back of the pharmacy people getting tamoxifen to battle breast cancer. i think it is inappropriate for a health-related series of
10:20 am
pharmacies to sell cigarettes. stuart: i think it was a marketing decision, a branding decision and i think it is their right to make that decision. flat-out, i do. that is extraordinary, agreement on two issues. >> utterly unpredictable what happens here, it is like a casino. stuart: i need a hug. we just heard from dr. ablow on gambling. after this you will get my take on gambling. welcome back. how is everything?

stuart: let's not get carried away, keep this in perspective. up 132 points, that is less than 1%. a little stability after all of the selling. soda stream up big on news coke bought a stake in it. coke bought a piece of green mountain and soda stream is up in sympathy since they are in the home dispensing game coke is trying to get into. look at yelp. several price target upgrades and have hit a new high. a loser, sorry, pandora gave lower guidance whose pesky
10:25 am
expectations strike. the president dragging his feet. up next, a senator with skin in the game. a pipeline would go through his estate. he is here. live in our studio, the first-ever multicolored 3d printer for consumer use. you will find out what it is making in a moment. as we reported, gambling losses totaled $119 billion last year. a lot of that loss came from the people buying lottery tickets from government run lottery systems. most of the people lost all of that money are poor people. so why do i hear almost every day commercials encouraging people to gamble? here is my take. of course the states want the tax revenue, but i think it is also part of the change we are
10:26 am
seeing in america's work ethic. it is basic culture. when i first came here, gambling was legal only in nevada. very hard to place a bet illegally those days. back then the road to success was clearly laid down. go to school, get a job, work, save, marry, have children, in that order. worked move you up the food chain. success came from saving and investing. the work ethic was firmly embedded in the culture. they looked down on you if you didn't work. over the years that really changgd and in the obama years the work ethic has gone into rapid reverse. now if you choose not to work, you are liberating yourself. it is find the somebody else work and pay the bills for you while you pursue your dreams. gambling and encouragement of gambling plays a small role in this because today luck is
10:27 am
considered part of the road to success. not having a job is liberating, winning the lottery is her best chance to move up the food chain. that is a perversion of america's tradition. a terrible thing because it is at heart a lie. you do not move up the ladder by not working or by throwing your money away on a lottery ticket. it is a trick, it is a cruel trick because at the end of the day poor people lost $119 billion our political leaders are trapping those people in a lie.

10:32 am
court, the pressure is on, a group of senators sent a letter to the president urging him to approve the project, we are joined by one of those senators, republican from north dakota john hogan. >> good to be with you. stuart: with all the we have heard, all we have studied on this pipeline i don't see how the president can turn it down but i think he will. what say you? >> he is trying to find a way to turn it down. we are in year 6, five years this has been in the permitting process, the final environmental impact clears the way to move forward with the project so he is trying to defeat it with ongoing delay is which is why we are putting pressure on it. stuart: i suspect if he does approve it there will be all kinds of caveat like you can't export the oil, you can only
10:33 am
allow a certain amount to come down the pipeline or it must be fed here or there. that would be the way around a flat out yes, go build this thing. what do you say? >> it is a possibility which is why i have legislation with a lot of bipartisan support to move this forward and that is why we're continuing to work to get people on board. force a decision and get the project approved. stuart: you can have legislation that says mr. president, build it. you can pass that legislation and it is up to him. >> we did that in 2012, attracted to the payroll tax holiday forcing him to make a decision and he turned down at that time. it has been rerouted, we jumped through all the hurdles and we are trying to do the same thing, force him to make a decision and to make the right decision for the american people. stuart: in the interview before the super bowl with a bill

10:35 am
subsidies are in deep a disincentive to work? >> a match to the cbo which is nonpartisan, congressional budget office in short clearly that obamacare creates a disincentive to work because as you increase your income that is a disincentive and asia 2 million people who will not be working because of the disincentive and that doesn't even accounts for the incentive to cut people back to 30 hours or less to avoid the cost of obamacare. stuart: republican north dakota thanks for joining us. good luck with that, we will talk to you soon. i want your comment on the -- we have being facetious, we are saying the 331,000 people who last week signed up for jobless benefits this is a cause for celebration, look at that,

10:58 am
part-time status when health reform fully kicks in. have said they would be reluctant to hire full-time workers, when in ten say they shift to part-time, may lay off current workers. stuart: i am reading this. one of the researchers says he doubts that the advocates for obamacare saw such a startling impact on the real economy. >> these achieve financial officers to make the many decisions across the country. this is further proof, evidence of the shift in sentiment against health reform on the part of the people who do the hiring and firing across the nation. stuart: this week we have seen from the government's own being counters the suggestion, the forecast that we will lose the equivalent of 2.3 million jobs because of obamacare. the top guy at the cbo said yes,
10:59 am
it is a disincentive to go out and work and a reputable study, duke univ. quoting cfos, chief financial officers four out of ten of them say, what was that? liz: switching full-time jobs to part-time status and this in advance of the employer mandate, the employer mandate was delayed one year under health reform has yet to kick in so you may see more countries joining the likes of ibm and trader joe's making changes in a workout is due to health reform. stuart: a keep coming, obamacare, one negative after another. liz: the best retiree's shifting that but in terms of other companies we are seeing this trend just beginning, we are at the leading edge. stuart: wish we had more time but we don't. connell: we will take up some other numbers that are rough this morning as one of every six american men in the prime of their lives do not have a job.
