"the willis report" where consumers are our business starts right now. we begin tonight with a tune-up for your portfolio. it's a fox business network wide special, making sure your nest egg is working for you. we're sifting through the confusion, giving you clear, concise information that will help you boost your bottom line. tonight, award winning financial advisors here to make sure your portfolio stays balanced. ric edelman has been ranged by "barron's" three types as the top financial advisor in the whole country. author of 12 consecutive national best-sellers, david bach. he is joining edelman financial services. welcome to you both. this is bonus panel. i'm so excited to have you both here. >> we're thrilled to be with you, gerri. gerri: so nice. talk about rebalancing. a lot of people out there, their stocks have taken a huge run and i will start with you, rick, hey, why not let the winners run, market on fire.

>> because if you said that in 2007, we know what would have happened after that. not because we think the stock market is going to crash. we don't think that at all. we think the stock market will continue to do well. the problem if you don't rebalance your diversified portfolio will be 100% stocks and taking massive risks that you didn't anticipate. gerri: maybe at time you most likely don't want to do that. show some full screens. you get started rebalancing. maybe intention was quarter, quarter, stocks bonds, government and bonds and cash, after time it starts looking a little loopy dave bach. what do you say? >> i think how i've been coming on the show with you since the recession, saying stocks are cheap. this is the time to be buying. recession made people millionaires. we've seen the market double. you will show that here in a second. the secret, we hear, buy low, sell high. we're not suggesting that people sell right now. we're suggesting people rebalance right now. and secret to building wealth long term is having professional asset allocation strategy.

that is rebalanced automatically. now is deaf time for people to look at that. gerri: here is what people look at. they see this bull market. what is going on with stocks. take a look at this. the dow is up 103% over last five years. s&p 500 up 118%. you know what? a lot of our viewers, rick, have never experienced that. >> they are uncertain what to do next. what you have to do, do simple things. don't get cocky, don't get giddy. number two, don't get scared either. this is wonderful opportunity to recognize your wealth bidding for the future, long term. your long-term goals. don't worry what will happen in the market rest of this month or rest of this year. focus on college for your kids in five or 10 years. your own retirement in 10, 20, or 30 years. maintain a diversified portfolio. rebalance it if you don't you will end up with lopsided portfolio that is riskier than you expected. >> we have a screen, if you don't rebalance what happens, 58% stocks over the period. this is unsustainable and very risky for people who may be

approaching retirement, right, dave. >> that is exactly right. believe it or not, what we see people do right now is exact opposite what they should do, gerri. think look at portfolios and they often put more mon into what has gone up the most. say small caps gone up 30%. they take money out of a bond fund maybe zero%, put it in one going up the most. exact opposite what you want to do. right now, again is the time to rebalance. we're giving people that warning and rick said, don't be cocky or giddy. i would say, don't be greedy. this is when people get greedy. this is the wrong time to get greedy. gerri: yeah. we heard that many times. be fearful when people are greedy and be greedy when people are fearful. rick you say not just stocks and bonds. there is more out there. >> no. there is much more. we provide our clients with 18 asset sectors. there is small cap, mid, growth, value, emerging markets. in world of bonds there are short term, inheter immediate,

u.s. government, foreign, corporate, real estate, oil and gas, precious metals and the list goes on and on. by the way cash is an asset class. so we have to recognize -- gerri: not in your mattress this time. >> money market fund, government treasurys, cds, those are, those count. people stay i'm out of the market. no, you're just in a different market. that is why they call it a money market account. gerri: have you guys given up on index funds. >> absolutely not. we're both huge proponent of index fund in etfs. when you look at model of edelman financial has, they include index and etfs. we're big proponents of index fund. >> clearly far superior. lower in cost, lower in risk. better in diversification and able to achieve goals you have. gerri: i want to walk through the full screen on managing your portfolio. we bringing it down into steps. easy piecesy steps. build a diversified portfolio or time interval or percentage drift. stock portfolio goes up 100%.

go in there and rebalance. track an rebalance when triggers are hit. it is that easy. >> if you don't know how to do it, don't want to do it, which big thing for lot of folks, too busy doing other things, don't have the time, hire an advisor. either do it yourself or have someone do it for you. gerri: you can do it yourself, right, david. >> you can but most people don't, they do the exact opposite. the problem with asset allocation, if it is not automatic, most people don't do it or do it wrong. gerri: do it wrong. you guys are doing it right. you're getting together. rick, what is going on here? >> well as you know, david and i have been on parallel tracks past 20 years. david is best-selling author. i'm a best-selling author. he is on the show a lot. we're doing seminars around the country. we're doing same thing. we're doing successful money management strategies, financial planning importance. we're partnering together because we'll be able to get our missage out into the marketplace bigger and better to reach millions of americans to get it done right. at the same time, train

financial advisors so they can do a better job in serving their own clients. gerri: david? >> well, big part of this partnership, we've been following each other for at least 15 years. i got tired of leaving a show like this and having people behind the stage, david, i need a financial advisor, who can you send me to you trust and i had no one. i reached with the phone, i want to stop saying no and want to start saving yes. want to help the people out there. i want a financial advisor but don't know where to go. i knew where to go. now we have a relationship. gerri: i got to tell you. i think your biggest benefit you're inspirational and telling people to set aside money for retirement and other goals and showing them precisely how do it. that is great stuff. >> thank you. gerri: rick and david, thanks for coming on. good to see you. >> good to see you. thanks for having us. gerri: we have more ways to tune-up your portfolio. the new phenomenon of robo advisers. is it good for you if we'll find out in 20 minutes. a lot more to come this hour

including your voice. we want you to facebook me, tweet me, gerri willis@fbn. what do you want to hear about. at the bottom of the hour i will read some of those comments. next, is the economy tipping toward another recession? say it ain't so. we'll examine latest numbers what economists worried. stay with us.

gerri: the economy limping along. questions whether we may tip back into another recession. the latest economic reports on the economy don't look good. despite what the federal reserve says. for more on this heritage economist steve moore is with us. steve, welcome back. >> hi, gerri. gerri: the economy shrinks 2.9% in the first quarter and we're supposed to still blame the weather? can you believe that? >> i don't think many americans believe that. i said when the original numbers came out, 1% reduction in gd maybe brutal weather in the

east. here we are halfway through in the second quarter, almost near the end and numbers as you said they're pretty fragile. they're pretty flimsy. i describe it, gerri, as a schizophrenic economy. some of the statistics look good and some look pretty awful. gerri: i couldn't agree more. i was looking at chart of gdp you have to go back to the recession, great recession to find a dip as deep as this one. this looks really bad. i have to say, you talk about something flimsy in the economy. you talk about something structurally going wrong. what could it be? >> i think its washington, i have really do. there are so many negative incentives to grow business right now whether it is the health care law, whether it is tax increases we had a year-and-a-half ago, whether new carbon emission standards. all of these things add up to a bearish environment. it is amazing, gerri, as you talk about every night on your show, we've had for the last 18 months a record stock market.

it has been a fantastic. a great ride. american companies are profitable. what i always come back to, here is the real next of the problem -- nux. they are not reinvesting profits to expand their businesses because they're afraid to. gerri: i hear that all the time from executives. people on the show telling us we're not sure what is around the corner. we can't see. you say government is dysfunctional. that is creating a lot of the problems. i want you to listen to what the president said at town hall meeting in in minnesota today. he kind of echoes your thoughts. >> are there some federal workers do boneheaded things. absolutely. i first week on the jockey talked to my defense secretary bob gates and older and been there a long time. do you have any advice for me, bob? one thing you should, mr. president, at any given moment on any given day somebody in the federal government is screwing up. gerri: you know, i don't find that acceptable coming from the president. the organization i run, he says,

is a screw-up. that to my is astonishing. >> listening to that quote, gerri ask he referring to the irs erasing incriminating files? is that what he means by a screw-up. gerri: irs, va, there is a long list. gao. >> you know, i think there is real appetite from the american people of next president, whoever it might be coming in and not just talking about screw-ups but really holding people accountable. i believe having been in washington for 30 years, could you come in and could probably eliminate 15% of 20% costs in every agency. this is what businesses done over last five years. they have cut costs. they have reduced their debt. their balance sheets look good. the balance sheet that looks awful today is washington's. gerri: regardless, some people think this economy is on fire and only going to get hotter. james bullard, the st. louis fed president, on opening bell

today, here is what he said. >> the first quarter gdp is giving me heartburn but, still, i'm willing to look through that and, i'm seeing the lower unemployment and good jobs numbers as a better indicator of underlying strength in the u.s. economy. gerri: can you look through that, steve? can you say that 2.9% number, negative growth and gdp, a shrinking in the economy? can you say it doesn't matter? >> you know, he is right that what matters is what's ahead, not what's behind us. so i agree with that. look, i've been an optimist as you know about the economy. i expected us to do a lot better than we are right now. but this number we came out this week it really gives me pause. look, even if we get december growth rest of the year, gerri, we'll be lucky to finish by the end of the year at 2%. that is pathetic. we've should be growing the economy 4 or 5%. what we had during five years of recovery we never had a big

breakout. i'm skeptical we'll see anytime soon. we'll stay in the rut of 2%. the problem with that gerri, it doesn't provide amount of jobs we need to put 17 million americans out of work into jobs. it also doesn't provide the kind of economic momentum to get wages up. that is the bigger concern right now is wages. gerri: but, steve, you know, around yet, and yet, single-family home sales up nearly 20%. >> i know, unbelievable. gerri: how do you explain that, with the economy overall shrinking so much? >> exactly the point i was making about the schizophrenic data coming out. that was an awesome data point. i was doing cartwheels when i saw that number. it's a fantastic number. here is something to worry about, gerri. you have housing values rising. people's income are not rising. gee, this sounds familiar, doesn't it? this happened in 2006 and 7 and 8 and caused housing bubble. the prices are rising but affordability index is falling. that suggests to me we may be in a little bubble situation again.

gerri: wow. okay, i hope you're wrong for the record. >> i do too. i do too. i'm still optimistic we'll get 2% growth. we could be doing so much better. >> i know what makes you do cartwheels, steve. thanks for coming on tonight. >> see ya. gerri: still to come, a pike at how good housekeeping decides which products deserve their could have individualed seal. list of national treasures. the national parks you need to visit this summer. our user's guide to somer vacations is coming up. ♪.
