industry is concerned as it was about the longevity at the time having one single approach. we knew down the line if legalization takes hold we can convert the greenhouse and converted grow marijuana as well. stuart: i want to get back to colorado. 40% of the marijuana sold in colorado in that first month, january, was edible. people bindweed or rolling joints, it was people buying oil infused brownies. 40%. is that accurate? >> i'm not sure o the number toe frank with you but i own a medical marijuana dispensary in california as well and the edibles and concentrate side is expanding very rapidly. a lot of people looking for alternatives. at the end of the dat day it cos from the base product. but you are seeing a broadening out of this tradition methods people utilizing.

stuart: give a publicly traded company growing paraphernalia. a pot dispensary in california. the people ever have a go at you because you are a pothead, you are selling drugs, do they say that? i have heard that a lot. >> i left a 10-year career in wall street's to get into this business so i worked for will kobe and morgan stanley. i understood the economic expansion that would take place. i don't get those comments as much as you think. stuart: do you think recreational marijuana will be available nationwide because the fed change the law which mark do you think? >> talking to you from las vegas, out certain put my money on that. stuart: got it. , and visit us again. curious about a stock? we told you to tweet us.

today charles has ford motor company and general electric. because you asked about it. we don't cover these stocks very much. charles: ford i have to tell you this is a tough one for me because it beats the street each of the last four quarters but every time you see the trend. numbers have come down dramatically. i think they are losing market share since september 2013 general motors with market share their taking off. the next five years toyota will grow 34%, forward only 11. i hate to say it but i would be a seller of the stock. stuart: general electric. we hardly ever out of those two words on this program. charles: he made mention of his

entire boys and bought ge stock, 146,000 shares. to me, that is not enough. net income in the december quarter was down 500,000, 500 million year-over-year and profit margins collapsed. liz: may be below where it was. charles: you have that kind of global footprint and cannot take advantage of local wealth in the last decade, i am worried about it. they want 70% of their business to come from industrial but that will take a couple of years. stuart: happy birthday, internet. 25 years old today. now play-doh is the name of the game and we will explain it next.

in the new new york, we don't back down. we only know one direction: up so we're up early. up late. thinking up game-changing ideas, like this: dozens of tax free zones across new york stat, move here. expand here. or start a new business here... and pay no taxes for 10 years. with new jobs, new opportunities and a new tax free plan. there's only one way for your business to go. up. find out if your business can qualify at start-upny.com

stuart: the creator of the famous "flappy bird" app is having second thoughts. "flappy bird" is coming back hashtag >> perhaps, but it will come back with a warning to please take a break. a vietnamese young man computer programmer lives with his parents. he creates this "flappy bird" and it blows up and he is not used to the fame or the money. making $50,000 per day. downloaded at least 50 million times. he says in the next 22 hours i'm going to take "flappy bird" down. 10 million people downloaded it. he is getting all this attention to what might be back. if you already have the game you can still play it so it is not

affecting that many people. stuart: great piece of marketing. >> you should get him on your show. he just got a passport. stuart: albo kim. remember that sound? we are playing it because today marks a big milestone, 25 years ago computer scientist wrote a paper that laid out the framework for what would become the modern-day internet. that's changed a lot of lives. sandra smith, first question, do you remember the first time you log on and went online? >> yes. not only did you hear that sound, but that was your home phone line. you are eating up the ability for anybody in your house to use the phone. i'm the youngest of six kids so

that pose a big problem in my house. my dad was very tech savvy so we were logging on but remember how long it took to download a picture for example? you didn't know any better so you waited for a picture to dell download. stuart: let's bring in from social radar.com. 25 years of internet, do you remember the first time you log on? >> high. i do remember vaguely. it was quite a bit of years ago as you know. i was at my dad's house. one of the band members was very tech savvy. we log onto the internet and i had no idea, but 25 years later and we are still connected.

stuart: was her dad's rock band famous? the daughter of a notable? >> it was east coast famous. quite a great collection of photos of him sliding across the stage with a bass guitar. i will look it up on the world wide web today for you. stuart: google fiber high-speed internet network is going to spend this thing to 34 seas. google says about 100 times faster than the broadband we have got now. this to me is the future of the internet. looking back over 25 years. 100 times faster, that is the development to me that is most important. how about you? >> that is a really important development. they are doing a lot to make the internet more accessible and faster. it is going to give a lot of these companies and a lot of these more established folks a

run for their money when it comes to streaming content. yesterday the softbank president talked about the wireless speed of internet, that will be an important play as well. stuart: i don't know what i would do with 100 times faster speed. what would that do for me? i don't know. >> it is really hard to go back. we can't remember what it was like to download that picture. it will be harder when we don't have the excess we will be a little bit more impatient. stuart: we have something called king games. cars.com 3 billion. now i am looking to the future for my grandkids the kind of company i want to buy into. a yogurt company, and game maker, which one would you buy? >> i have to go with the game maker. this disruptive world of mobile

apps king with the candy crushed saga and farm bureau, getting thousands everyday. they will continue to release new games as addictive as that in that stock will have a lot of promise when they ipo. >> you have to show me that again. >> chibani. they are eating smarter, making healthy decisions. the junk food aisle is getting smaller and smaller. chibani hits a sweet spot. i like that a lot. stuart: you're one of the younger people who appear on this program. if you invest, do you invest in the stock's that we mentioned a lot like futuristic companies? facebook, twitter, that sort of

a thing? >> i do invest. hopefully i will have more means after social radar blows up but i do invest they take advice from shows like yours and things i am searching online on the web, it is exciting new technologies to be investing a great way for young people to be involved. that is why chibani and cars.com is not as appealing to me as the king. stuart: thank you for joining us, see you soon. i have a bone to pick with warren buffett. my take is next.

if you've got copd like me... ...hey breathing's hard. know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helpme breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder

does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? don't wait to ask your doctor about spiriva. nascar is about excitement. but tracking all the action and hearing everything from our marketing partners, the media and millions of fans on social media can be a challenge. that's why we partnered with hp to build the new nascar fan and media engagement center. hp's technology helps us turn millions of tweets, posts and stories into real-time business insights

that help nascar win with our fans. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there ar24/7.branches? i'm sorry, i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum! (cat screech) you feel that in your muscles? i do... drink water. it's a long story. well, not having branches let's us give you great rates and service. i'd like that. a new way to bank. a better way to save. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

>> my money is that it is down in the ocean, but the problem is the confusion coming from the malaysian air force, the general that keeps coming out and conflicting his own reports is

making this total confusion almost makes it look a little bit like the keystone. stuart: talking about the malaysian airlines mystery in our last hour. the authorities have not ruled out mechanical failure, pilot error or terrorism. get this, malaysian officials just confirmed the last words heard from the jet were all right, good night. that message was reportedly a response to entering vietnamese airspace. the search continues, we will keep you updated with so far no or debris located at all linked to that flight. the author who says women need to marry young, get while the getting is good. it is okay to settle. plus, $85,000 belt buckle. what is so great about it? warren buffett is back in the

media. several interviews, but he is rarely challenged. he gets lavish praise at the greatest investor and he deserves that kind of praise. he is brilliant. but few questions that are rarely asked. first, you are playing your own book, aren't you? you oppose the keystone pipeline. he turned around a little bit, but you oppose for a long, long time the keystone pipeline. doesn't that help your railroad business? railroads carrying oil and you made money by opposing keystones. and don't tell us pipelines are not safe. people have been killed recently by trains carrying oil. second, you want the rich to pay more income tax. why don't you pay yourself a bigger income so you would pay tax like the rest of us. instead you hide from the tax

everybody else pays and you want us to pay more. thanks, warren. third of the government is so great a spending our money, why don't you pay your fair share of estate taxes. when you pass, the vast portion goes to charity. how can you be for the estate taxes that you yourself will not pay? so yet again the super rich, the guys with early in the dollars with legions of lawyers will escape the tax fight the rest of us have to pay. those of us try to climb the food chain are getting a little annoyed. we strive to move up in the world and when we make good money, the government takes half or more. there is something not right here. warren buffett affects policies and makes money doing it. he affects tax policy and sticks us with the bill. here's what i want. the next time he is interviewed

i want to see him challenged, wantwant to see the tough quests asked. i want to see someone look him in the eye and say that, sir, is hypocrisy.

when you heard my take on warren buffett and the keystone

pipeline. sandra is here with something to add on warren buffett's position on the pipeline now. sandra: it has changed. he used to defend environmentalist's and say he came under fire for them owning railways which recently we have seen some major spills from railroads. stuart: what about now? sandra: while we'd begin to his portfolio he would be in favor of the keystone not because he would create jobs of the build anything that creates jobs, he thinks this would be a good thing for the country, good for business in this country but here is the thing, he is only -- deegan to his portfolio he has been acquiring some companies that would benefit from the approval of the keystone pipeline. case in point company acquired that would help the oil moves through the pipeline faster. in general pipeline faster but it would work with the keystone as well so let's not forget he is always positioning himself

for profit and always talking to benefit his books. he stuart: you affect policy because he is warren buffett and churns up with a parent or the president and then is buying into companies which will benefit from his teaming up with the president and affecting policy. there is something wrong in my opinion. sandra: has no idea if the president will approve it but nonetheless speaking out a changing his tune. stuart: those europeans are at it again. they have their noses out of joint covert cheese. they don't want us using the words parmesan or fed up. >> you put the at how yet on this story so there is an international debate on how to save cheese. when you buy palmer shot which is from pablo, italy, a european country or feta from greece, will gorgonzola from the lawn there are american companies that sell those cheeses often in that familiar green cylinder

bottle that you shake, hopefully that doesn't come from a can. they are saying you are stealing our cheese and our name. this is not american she's even though american companies are making it. u.s. dairy farmers are up in arms. is a $4 billion domestic industry and if you change the name consumers will get so confused by this what will be the next industry? it will be great yogurt, it could be oranges. stuart: are they suing? >> they expected to be discussed this week in european trade talks in brussels. stuart: fascinating. i would be glued to those trade talks. >> you shake your cheese on your pasta? stuart: i don't eat pasta. i should never have said that. thank you very much. wait a second. do you remember susan patent? she is the so-called princeton mom who wrote the article suggesting women should find a

husband on campus before they graduate. she turned that into a book which was released yesterday. this is very smart, who is with us right now. first of all, the left is so riled up, as they hate you. which button did you press to get them so mad. >> i understand there are certain truths that we don't want to confront and what i have done is tapping on the door of the x-ray saying we have a serious situation to deal with here if you focus on nothing but your career you will find yourself in the mid to late 30s with nothing but your career so reject what the feminists are telling you, you have all the time in the world because you don't. stuart: so get married quickly. women, you go on to say why not settled? if you are in your early 30s just settle. doesn't have to the mr. wonderful. the right guy for the moment.

>> what i am saying is if you know the very top of your priority list of things you want to accomplish in your life is to get married and you are 31, 32 years old and haven't found mr. wright then yes, may be settling for mr. good enough is not a bad idea for a couple reasons. mr good enough maybe will turn into a prince charming. how many women marry mr. wright hit turned out to be mr. wrong. no guarantee. and if you settle for mr. good enough and have children at least you have your children and they will be with you forever. sometimes -- >> appreciate you having an opinion on this. i can say is that much but i think this is horrible advice. stuart: selling? >> with this kind of advice because all of us are so unique and so different. to settle with someone you don't

find -- >> you are dealing with divorce and children, being raised by -- >> you will be divorced 50% of the time the matter what. we can cut those statistics anyway like. only if you are a woman who knows you want children, you are 31, 32 years old, i am saying yes, settle. doubling down on that. stuart: next case. more to come. >> take it away. stuart: facebook and cheryl sandberg wants to ban the word bossy. calling the girl bossy not only undermines her ability to see herself as a leader of the influences how others treat her. your comments on bossy? >> so completely nonsense. when a little girl is called bossy doesn't impede her leadership capabilities. it is saying she probably is dictatorial, nasty, tyrannical,

and yielding little girl. and maybe that is something we want to take a look at teaching our young women to be a little nicer, a little more welcoming, a little more accepting of opinions other than their own. this is a good thing. banning a word? maybe we should ban the word pretty because it objectifies -- ridiculous. banning words? stuart: the use of the word bossy to a little girl isn't bad because it might make her straight how you should behave with other people. >> maybe it will. being called names i can tell you about being called names. certainly this past week i can tell you. stuart: we are out of time. thanks so much for joining us. i bet this book does well. >> a pleasure to be with you. stuart: gold at a six month high, smart phone gamemaker valued at $7 billion. continuation may be of a three day losing streak.

all of that discussed on the real halftime report which is next. when does your work en does it end after you've expanded your business? after your company's gone public? and the capital's been invested? or wn your compan's bought another? is it over after you' given back? you never stop achieving. that's why, at barclays, our ambition is to always realize yours.

sometimes they just drop in. always obvious. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities. we enable you to reach global markets and drive forward with broader possibilities. cme group: how the world advances. stuart: let's update the general motors story. gm offering owners of the

recalled cars $500 cash towards the purchase or lease of a new one. that offer last through the next month. gm stock is down $0.30, $34 a share. security flaw in the messaging platform what's app could be a blow to the company. messages may not be private because android apps against access, look at facebook, they bought what's app, no impact on facebook stock, it is up $70. remember the carnival triumph? the cruise ship that was a drifter days with no working toilets or power, it was real bad. a group of passengers suing for emotional distress and demanding $5,000 a month each for life. carnival, $39 a share. that halftime report is next.

stuart: love that graphic. time for the real halftime report. scott kennedy from new york, nicole petallides on the exchange. sandra smith next to me. kyle herring to in san diego. gold at a six month high. or forecast please. >> after the excessing bowl last year it became a value plan. technically speaking a lot of guys behind me love the look of these charts, it goes up to 1400 and i think we get out because then it gets too expensive because the world doesn't have a

lot of money anymore. the economies are not doing well enough. $1,400 gold is a sell. stuart: how high for gold in this cycle? >> gold goes higher, makes total sense to me. the united states currency, the dollar continues to be in my mind challenged and credit rating as a country and diversifying a portion of one's portfolio into the precious metals area which include gold makes a lot of sense. stuart: back to you in a second. three big names you know, each of these companies worth billions. this is for the future. cars.com values $3 billion. shibani joshi, yoga, can the crash, the maker, the king, $7 billion value. earlier we asked everybody who would you buy? kyle, with a view to investing in the future, which of those three would you buy? >> got to sit down with each

individual measure of risk tolerance but i think all of these companies in this economic environment are overvalued. if i had to go with what i would look at cars.com because it makes sense to me in terms of going online, looking at and shopping for car and going to dealership but it gives you a good window into what is available and what you are searching for. that makes the most sense to me. stuart: what do you say? nicole: i will go with the candy crushed to be different and make a fast buck if it is something that goes well, take a chance. stuart: i you involved in cars.com or yoga? which one do you like? >> doesn't look like i am involved with yogurt. take it on board that can be crushed thing. they have done some good things technologically speaking about getting those cars to their public. i will go to the oldest one,

candy and gin and yogurt changed by the day. stuart: you are right. i am with you on this one. next topic for kyle, another down day for the dow will make it 3 in a row. tell us what you might think will turn the market around. >> i can tell you. at some point in the near-term wall street and main street's numbers are going to match and what will turn it around is a jobs report in my opinion that showed a six months period of time where there was an increase sustainable job market with real, well paying jobs. that will create a confidence level in the stock market that would turn it around significantly. stuart: what would turn the market around? >> it would be great to see a good jobs number but i don't think we will see that. we will see more, something more of a stimulus to the market and that comes from the fed because we are throwing money at this bubble because we don't have an

answer, we are not getting that. jobs are not coming through. it will drive the stimulus higher or really bad news that makes people think we will get a stimulus. stuart: two names you know, both have problems, congress and doj investigating gm, customer traffic hits a three year low. nicole: not good news for european companies. their offering -- and giving them $500 and try to get a new one. they are being investigated, and so many retailers, foot traffic in stores, freezing winter weather, no one wants those wars. stuart: big problems for both. that is it for the halftime report. we thank everyone involved. google is really getting into everything. they reportedly bought a part of

something called green throttle gains, little knowing gaming hardware company but according to reports this could pave the way for google's that hotbox. i am lost. you want to explain? sandra: it could be used to play the games through mobile operating system and a larger screen. it will take all those games they want to play on line and put the lot of bigger screen with a proposed set top box. in my mind, google buying this company, who needs a company like this when you can print this on a 3d printer nowadays? google is putting themselves out in so many faces and that is the key. google is everywhere. and stuart: would you pay $85,000? probably not.

there are people who most certainly will. why on earth is it so expensive? don't get that but we will show them to you in a moment on this set on this program. stay right there. it's a growing trend in business: do more with less with ss energy.hp is help. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance, using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind.
