[closing bell ringing] >> pretty amazing. we're right here at session highs. the vix reached new lows. liz: two big auto names. ford included. we have alan mulally on the show today, moving higher. david: look at all indices. we have pretty much even gains. we love when the small and mid-size stocks. we have favorite after on "after the bell." they did almost a full percentage point. a very healthy way to end the week. "after the bell" starts right now. liz: yes, that is record for the books. once again, david, the s&p and dow jones industrials. david: here we go again. it is an extraordinary day. let's go through all the market act shun with our guest.

we have tom eye a coo chino. -- iaccino. we have tom frost. mike schumaker. ubs. and lindsey piegza. we haven't seen you in a long time. >> been a while, good to see you all. liz: tom, i want to start with you. we go to bob iaccino in the pits. record again low volatility. good jobs number. which one do you pick first to talk about? >> that is an interesting conundrum, isn't it? the jobs numbers pretty much in line. showing low volatility in the jobs number, aren't we? we're pretty much trudging along. i know analysts and strategists including myself are looking for a big letdown in the number because of the big surprise last month. this number could be start of a weather rebound. i would expect slightly lower than consensus. came in really well. the vix trickled down. the vix has been at seven.

there is room to go lower. i don't know it will reach all the way down there. this is complacency in this rally, if not volume. david: lindsey, i haven't seen you since you became chief economist. congratulations for that. what did you make of the job figures. >> thank you very much. it certainly was a impressive number. fourth consecutive, plus 200,000 non-farm payroll we had. we captured the prerecession high in terms of job creation. i'm a little concerned about the composition of the number. we're seeing a good number of part-time, temporary and low-wage job positions being created which sort past reason we're not seeing this headline number translate into wage pressures which is needed in order to robust, to lead to a robust increase in consumption and propel us above the 2% gdp range. liz: that all sound great and you're not wrong but tom frost, you still believe this is great time to buy stocks. you're not worried. you see positivity here. what makes you so optimistic

beyond pretty good numbers and knowing federal reserve numbers and ecb in europe will prop up these markets? >> because they're continuing to work on propping up the markets. they're not letting go. whenever a bull market lasted at least four years, inevitably the only thing that made that bull market run end is recession and we're not going into recession. we're strengthening an economy, not weakening economy. it is great seeing that america has finally pulled itself out of this horrible, horrible recession. david: on the other hand, mike, nothing, everything isn't perfect all the time, let me put it that way and one thing that may be a little imperfect, we might see rates creep up again, right? >> we do think that will happen. towards the end of the year is our call. people expected rates to go up for the bulk. year and it hasn't happened. most investors are getting grumpy. when is it going to happen. this month? david: when is it going to happen? give us your time frame. >> q4. our target for 10-year is 3.25.

you think it is 2.60 today. it is a bit of a backup. people have to be patient. it is not one-day move. liz: while they're patient, we're watching record after record. bob, you and i talked about this before. whether you agree with what the fed is doing and you don't fight the tape and it still looks good. what do you worry about as a trader could derail this? >> so many different things we're looking at f you're talking about making money in the market, obviously we're in good shape. i agree there is much more upside to the market. i believe tom said that. i think it's a good time to buy. lindsey made a good point about the part-time jobs and composition of the jobs number. took five years to get the job back. if one person holds two part-time jobs andwo jobs and long-term unemployment at unsatisfactory levels. that is my fear. consumer credit ramping up. credit cards being used. without the full-time job growth that will worry me if it continues. david: tom, you have a pimco

fund. great shirt, bob. that is dynamite shirt that you're wearing on this friday. tom, pimco has a short maturity bond fund. i'm wondering about particularly in light of what mike was saying about interest rates going up. why do you like that now? >> because it is less interest rate risk. the downside to, to all fixed income when interest rates rise. it has such a short duration, we feel like it has some safety built into it, if we're right that interest rates do rise by the end of the year. david: would you go with that as a strategy fitting in with your rate rise, mike? >> i would be pretty hard-pressed to buy that frankly. i think you have too much risk over the next six to nine months. it strikes me as somewhat dicey play at this point. liz: lindsey what do you see as dicey? do you find the way treasurys are behave something a little disconcerting? are you okay with that? can you explain to our investor viewers why they shouldn't be too concerned about something like that or should? >> i'm actually in a very different camp than the other

guests. i don't see fed raising rates anytime this year. in fact i don't see fed raising rates through 2015. the end of 2016 is really earl evident i would expect the fed to move rates, most likely holding off until set of set of of the remember, 2017. this committee under yellen said we can't gauge health of ememployment market with unemployment rate. we have to look through a whole host of variables. meaning stagnant hourly earnings, stagnant work week, heightened augmented unemployment well over 12%, painting a much dire picture of the labor market. david: lindsey, i think what mike was saying, forgive me for interrupting, mike, you correct me if i'm wrong, the rates will go up regardless whether fed pushes rates up. you say they will go up 3.25% even if the fed leaves rates way they are? >> that's right. we think the fed will raise funds rate in middle of 2015.

market anticipates this. you see the market run up ahead of fed move. 3.25 by the end. year is fair to us. that is consistent with the move in 2015 by the fed. liz: bob -- >> long end of the curve generally follows, i would say that the long end of the curve generally anticipates that move in the fed. the shortened will follow along with the -- short end of the church. i expect the 10-year to remain under 3%, discrepancy of 25 basis points there. liz: tom, i will go to tom. make us rich. make us rich, not knowing how the markets will eventually react or how we think data is going to come out. where will we put our money. are there other opportunities that will give us yield? or is it a little too much reaching for yield these days? >> we really liked the large cap space right now. you can buy, you can buy the s&p 500 at a 3% dividend. there are some really good holdings out there with

unlimited upside. now is the time to be in equities. liz: you would rather sit in large cap name with a dividend than buy treasurys to be safe. >> absolutely. beyond a shadow of a doubt. we are firm that you will not look back 12 months from now and wish you were on the sidelines. david: apple will dot seven to one split, do you think that will affect -- this is one of the few stocks down. is that because of a stock split or what? >> i don't know what caused to go down today. that being said it will certainly become more affordable for the average investor who couldn't reach for that $650 share price. face it more expensive for one share of apple to buy an ipad recently. so yeah, it will make it a lot more affordable. certainly not cheaper but more affordable to the average investor. i think we'll see a lot more retail investors dive into that space. we like that holding. >> tom frost, mike schumacher, lindsey piegza, and bob iaccino to brighten up his mood now that

the blawkhawks are out of the stanley cup. it wasn't necessary but i did it. david: sorry, bob. >> los angeles doesn't have ice or royalty. i don't know why they're called the kings. liz: bob can handle it. the broadway economy has become so huge, even the federal reserve noticed. mentioning it, david in this week's beige book. david: that's true. liz. neil patrick harris, bryan cranston, daniel radcliffe, from "harry potter" fame, they're hoping to break a leg on the business of broadway and how arts pay in new york. david: it will be fun. >> if california chrome does win the triple crown, he will net 1.4 million, but that is nothing, nothing compared to what he will make down the road. we'll talk to the man who runs former triple crown winner secretariat's estate coming up. liz: ford ceo alan mulally, a thoroughbred in his own right, handing over the keys to mark

horse racing has not been won since 197. with that comes a lot of it. if california chrome wins at belmont tomorrow, they will be able to spin the victory into names rights all that sort of thing. no one knows how to do that better than leonard lusky. he runs all the money for second a tear i can't think. he joins us from belmont park new york. secretariat ran back when you were how old? >> i was 12. david: you were 12 years old. so you obviously weren't in the inner circle at that particular time. >> no, but look at this, i want viewers to know what we're seeing. the extraordinary thing about secretariat, of course affirmed actually had a win at the triple crown afterward, no one came in with 31 lengths at the finish line. that is what made secretariat so he spectacular, right? >> that was one of the things. i mean he actually set the records that still stands 40

years later in both the derby, the preakness and the belmont. so holeds it for all three races. david: just, folks the reason why belmont is so important, why it is so hard for horses to win, because it is a lot longer than the other races that you have to win in the triple crown and that's what makes it a difficult race. imagine to win by 31 lengths. i think affirmed just won by a nose, right? >> that's right. that's right. from one indof the spectrum to the other. david: okay. now the thing that is most well-known about how you capitalize on that success is putting a horse out to stud. if i'm not mistaken, secretariat had a lot of little secretariats, didn't he? how many foals did he sire? >> over 600. he had over 600. of course one of his greatest sons, risen star, won the belmont in 1988. david: so how much, i'm trying to find the proper words to use

here. how much do you get for each time secretariat went out and had fun? >> well, it depends. it is all about the market. and in the beginning i think it was $100,000 a pop. so he was a pretty coveted stallian. david: wow. okay. i'm glad you used that expression, not me. that is amazing when you think of 600 folks and 100,000. he didn't get 100,000 each time. there is also the memorabilia, the naming rights, the movie rights, the book rights. how much has all that added up to for secretariat? >> well, it just depends. the movie was a relatively new thing. they have been handling merchandising and marketing since 1973. with the advent of the internet that really changed things. we started secretariat.com in 2002. that opened it up to reach a whole new level of fans and be reached by them. so the dollar amount, boy, that,

that's tough one to say cumulatively but the owners -- david: the owners of california chrome claim that the horse is now worth $30 million. other people say that might be overdoing it a bit. what do you say? >> no. i definitely think that. i mean just the stud value alone i think would equate to the 30 million. and i think that the merchandising rights, everything you said, the movie rights, those will be on top of that, if he actually wins the triple crown. it will be a wonderful experience on many levels. david: he has such a great backstory. for a horse to come from relative obscurity, isn't that a story in and of itself worth millions? >> it's one of the greatest stories really. every horse has a different marketability factor and california chrome has a wonderful one and his connections all have great stories. i's really, everybody is rooting for him. they really are, except maybe the other horses in the race. david: finally, leonard, will he

win? what is your best guess? >> you know, my heart says yes, i got to look at the form to see but, i think if i were a trainer in the race i wouldn't want to have any other horse. he is the one that is proven and he has shown the speed and the heart. so you know, why not? david: leonard, you're going to be there. have a great day tomorrow. enjoy the race. >> thank you very much. david: thank you for coming in. liz: who doesn't remember secretariat for those of us who were around. movie star jessica alba hedging her bets by building her own celebrity brand.

actors, brilliant theater actors but a lot of so-called celebrities. when you talk about what brought in the 12 billion for this season you have to bring in names like bryan cranston of "breaking bad." he starred in, all the way, up for many different tony awards. denzel washington in race inin the sun. she was from glee and started on broadway. daniel radcliffe, all these stars. that is a big draw, isn't it? >> it is a big draw. we say about broadway, broadway is where the stars align. the broadway brings together biggest stars of theater television an music. we even had mike tyson on bradway. >> i remember that. he didn't win a tony. he was there, game to be in the tony awards and dancing around. that was amazing. bringing in the names. we saw daniel radcliffe, an amazing show certainly. we look at names and the draw, what it does for new york. why does it go beyond a single,

i'm purchasing a ticket at a theater than just that? >> well i think what happens with broadway, people want to buy experiences now. when you look at gift giving, people are giving experiences. that is a once in a lifetime experience. we have so much technology that is helpful to us, what broadway and live theater allows you to do, all of us come from our diverse places to come into the same theater and take the same journey together live and anything can happen. i think that is what keeps people coming back. that is what keeps people wanting to buy tickets. liz: and they rent hotel rooms when they come. if it is good enough show people will come out of town. i think of book of mormon was an amazing draw. you have shakespeare as a huge draw. i was standing in line at richard the ii. mark ryland, a huge tony award winner. people for that 12th night they were plying in from different cities in america just to see that performance. >> one of the things we know about the arts across the board. that arts tourists stay longer and spend more.

business? our fav "wall street journal" celebrity business reporter lee hawkins. you got to sit down with jessica to talk wither about her business but that is pretty exponential growth there. >> it is pretty exponential growth. it started with an idea she had after she had allergic reaction to the number one brand baby detergent. and she called her mom and i'm breaking out in wells and eyes are watering. what did you tell me to do? she decided to do research. a lot of things we find in cleaning products and baby products are not all that regulated. there are not a lot of things outlawed compared to other countries. so she started this company on that premise. david: i love the fact she fund her demos, young moms. which is a great memo. however there are hazards to this. one of the has orders some of the products have not been approved by fda. there are some questions whether they might be pulled from the market. >> there are a lot of products in general don't really have

high standards in terms of the fda. so if that happens, well, she will have to reevaluate that and maybe pull some products off the market. her goal and her main idea is that she is trying to protect people and their children in their homes. so a lot of the things that we find in our environment in our home are even more damaging than the things that we see outside the environment. david: that's true. >> that we really focused on. david: just ask deirdre imus. she will give you an earful on that. liz: most of the sales are coming from the website, correct. >> yeah. liz: that is forward thinking way of doing business. she doesn't have a lot of overhead. she is not necessarily a business person per se. does she hire people who know business and deal with supply chains and things like that? >> yes, thee does have a guy with traditional business. he was involved in a non-profit organization that protects children from toxic chemicals. and so he has the product knowledge and that's one of the great things that she

understands is that her role in the broader organization is to get the word out and to be the face of the company. she has done that quite effectively. when irselling most of the product on the web that is no easy take, she has been so effective people wonder if she comes out with ipo on this. you asked here about that, right? >> i did. let's toss to that to see what she said. this company going public at some point? >> i do. i think that is not out of the question in a couple years. we'll see. we could possibly get acquired by somebody. i'm not sure. i'm not sure what that would mean. i think we're young now today. but you know, we'll see. liz: try not to say uh. investors will like you better. >> it is funny. she is probably not interviewed aggressively by the business

press like she would be -- liz: been on with stuart varney i think. she has come out. >> but she is incredibly knowledgeable about this industry. i think one of the challenges for her or any celebrity is that if she does do an ipo she will be held to task by hedge fund managers and analysts and pension funds and all these people want to see results and really don't care about the fact she is an a-list actress. it does helper her that she is a a-list actress. i don't think she would not go as far if she were not who she is. not to knock her. she is a -- david: parents like her. she is not a lindsay lohan. no offense to lindsay lohan but you know what i'm talking about. >> when i interview celebrities i get a real good sense about what people think about her. she is beloved. david: lee hawkins.
