>> good for airlines. they were all up today. [closing bell ringing] delta with a new partnership with starbucks, david. david: meanwhile the bells ring on wall street. very close to a flat day for the dow. it managed to eke out green arrows but just by a nose. again three stocks keep in mind, walt disney, visa, home depot, they accounted for 90% of the gain when the market was up. without those dow would be in the red. most indices are in the red, by a half percent. "after the bell" starts right now. >> before we get into the meat what happened with today's markets let's head to omaha, nebraska, where liz finished an

interview with the "oracle of omaha" him seven, warren buffett. liz? liz: he is not make any currency bets. he feels absolutely there are opportunities to buy companies at a discount n europe he is about to buy one. he doesn't say which. i spot him to -- got him to say western europe. what about oil? he wouldn't predict when it would hit a bottom but he feels you have to make an investment in things like specialty chemicals. you know he bought about link ton northern. he is absolutely strong when he thinks keystone should go through. keystone gets the thumbs up from him. what about mortgage rates? what about interest rates? would he, can he, believe that the fed would tighten rates this year as they were supposed to? here's what he had to say about the fed and tightening rates. >> i think it will be very tough to raise rates when you've got what is going on around the world. if europe, has got them at zero

and you get rates higher in the united states, that would exacerbate a problem with the stronger dollar and fund flow. i think they have got a very tough, be very tough for then to raise rates. liz: is your bet, because you're a betting guy that they won't raise rates? >> i don't bet on that particular but if you asked me whether i think, if i were running the fed i would able to do it, i don't think it will be very feasible to do. i think it would have a lot of international repercussions. liz: that ace no. he would not advise tightening rates right now. he obviously, if you were then to take that comment further, would probably feel that it might derail the very tentative recovery we have, david, which i thought was very significant coming from a guy who also said, he is not interested in any treasurys, not a 30-year, not a 10-year. david: remember where he stand too. a lot of companies he owns or has a part of sell overseas. a stronger dollar hurts exports.

it is already strong enough. now with the european central bank about to lower value of their currency even more that would hurt his companies even more. so he has an interest in that as well. let's get into what happened today with the market. we have ron weiner from rdm financial group. why now is the time to diversify your investment portfolio. matt genn from royal oak financial group. he says now is the time to stay fully invested. he has two picks for you and scott shellady in the pits of the cme. scott, down 7% yesterday or up 7% yesterday and down 8% today. this must be driving traders nuts. >> you know what? this is not just oil. this is the post-qe world we trade in all day long. once we take away quantitative easing and accommodation, investors don't have the buy stocks they're going up. investors are skiddish and more

risk-averse. a lot are not well-capitalized. when they see the risk they are like lemmings getting in and out and it will happen all year long. david: liz we have earnings today from green mountain. tracy? >> it was a miss on both ends. earnings came in at8 cents adjusted. they were looking for 89 cents. revenue a little low, 1.39 billion. don't forget, david at end of the quarter they had to recall 7 million of single brewing machines because of burn hazard. we have to learn more. it is a miss on green mountain. david: it is trading down after-hours. liz, back to you, get in on this market panel. liz: i want to because matt's perspective is in part to warren that you believe it is time to be fully invested. where? mr. buffett obviously feels it is so much better to be in equities right now and not treasurys where the yield is

rather thin i guess you could say? >> yeah, absolutely. we definitely like equities. the yield is in the equities with the dividend. to go into treasurys or perhaps even cds with banks is financial suicide. there simply is no return. i'm a bit different than warren. we don't have the purchasing power he does. we're really focused in the united states. going into 2015 i just felt that it was probably wise to pick up our marbles and go home, given everything that has bonn on in europe and japan and russia. why not focus right here where we know we have some growth, we know we have some momentum. so we're really interested in u.s. domiciled companies that have growth, perhaps consumer driven growth, given lower gasoline. we're really excited about that. but absolutely we want to be fully invested in equities. you need to really coach your clients along with this and help them understand why.

because everyone is fearful. when you're fearful, you're hesitant. hesitation you will make bad decisions. so we're really been engaged with our clients saying hey, look, here is why we need to be here. so hang in there. it will be okay. david: but, matt, you have a big interest in the united states. i understand that with what is happening in the world, what is happening in asia, particularly what is happening in europe. by the way as we were going on the air, the european central bank says it can not assume a successful conclusion to the greek bailout. there are a lot of problems. ron, i'm wondering how long the u.s., we're growing at the moment, not as much as we like, how much longer can we carry the world on our shoulders? >> first, bull markets don't die of old age. they die of recessions. they die of the fed raising rates too fast. i think the u.s. will be fine. it is the most stable and safe place. but the truth is a as liz said in the beginning you have to diversify a little. marriage manners were the worst

farmers two years in a row, three years in a row. you have to nibble at that. warren said it perfectly. buying some in europe. not a lot. i think you nibble at it. u.s. is dependent on exports for only 14%. i think the u.s. is fine. i think what you got to do, you have to buy what's low and what's got value. the truth is, the u.s. is fairly valued. we think it is fine. mostly large cap u.s. but you have to start nibbling at the edges and that would be emerging markets to some extent. mostly betting on the consumer in marriage managers. because that is going to double in the next 20 years. that is megamarket. but i think europe is also, as warren said, i think europe is probably a place you start nibbling a little bit. liz: that was interesting, ron. i want to bring us back to scott shellady because ron also mentioned the consumer. warren is making this massive bet here with the brand new

nebraska furniture mart in dallas-ft. worth. it will be largest freestanding furniture store in the world, bigger than any ikea. that is bet early on perhaps great housing numbe sales, things like that. what do you see when you have people still rushing into the treasurys because they're scared? which is exactly what ron and warren would say, don't do? >> well, the reason why the rushing into treasurys, go look at euro yen screen, a euro swiss screen or libor screen. look what their rates are, look what the five and 10-year rates are. suddenly the makes the u.s. look fat, number one. number two, last year, because i say buy a 10-year bond doesn't mean i will hold it for 10 years and lend my money to the government for 1.7%. what if i want it tore six months or 12 months? last year, depending what bond you were in returned 25% and stock market returned 11%.

last year bonds were a better bet. relative value, being long our bonds, not only bonds i think equity market will have some legs to it. i like our bond because our rates compared to the rest of the world are relatively high on the rhetoric of a rate hike. i don't think it will happen. this might be your time. take advantage of it. david: let's talk about rates. matt you just heard warren buffett say he doesn't think there will be a rate hike this year. jack welch said the same thing today. anthony scaramucci has been saying that for months. you think there will be a rate hike in sometime in summer, july, august, around then. if it doesn't happen are we in trouble? >> i don't know if we'll be in trouble but, gosh, i would like to see them stick a marker out there, perhaps 25 basis points, 50 bisys points. the reason i would like to see that, i want to see reaction in the market. i want to see how if things get jolted -- david: want to see if we can stand on our own two feet? >> yeah, exactly.

it might really support us and actually catapult us into the next growth period. we need to get back to a normal economy and that's not going to happen until we get rates back in line. we need to drop a marker and we need to do it this summer and i think for the credibility of the fed too. they need to follow through with it. if they withdraw, it could potentially cause more fear in the markets and we could see some bad things happen. david: well, they may in fact be in a trap already. that may be one of problems but we shall see. ron, matt, scott, great group. of the billions in the u.s., billions into europe and billionses into japan and billions into china, central banks all around the world printing presses are operating at full speed. do they know what they're doing? what is the endgame? there are trillions in cash out there. what good are they doing? wheel talk about that with the panel. oil also wiping out all of yesterday's gains and falling

more than 8%. why the volatility? our panel goes head-to-head in search of surprising answers. we're back with liz in omaha who has more with the oracle there. liz? liz: dave, nothing was off limits in my conversation with warren buffett in the last hour. yes, he says he has beaten prostate cancer. he says do not expect the federal reserve to tight eprates this year. seas if it were him he could not do it. plus moody's, the ratings agency embattled with an investigation right now, he is selling his multimillion-dollar stake. what about poke cola? we'll have more live from omaha. the ♪ the future of the market is never clear. but at t. rowe price, we can help guide your retirement savings. our experience is one reason 100% of our retirement funds beat their 10-year lipper averages. so wherever your long-term goals take you, we can help you feel confident.

>> welcome back to "after the bell." i am tracy byrnes. we earnings from 21st century fox. earnings came in 53 cents a share. that is beat. revenue also a beat. $8.06 billion. expectations were for 7.63 billion. this is fiscal second-quarter earnings. the stock was up about 2.7% after-hours. david, back to you. david: thank you very much, tracy. well our next guest said this week central banks all over the world are steeped in denial about the risks they face. i'm quoting him now, like

lemmings at the cliff's edge. we heard such warnings before but not from the likes of stephen roach, senior fellow at yale university and former chairman of morgan stanley asia and professor roach joins us now. what a provocative statement, professor. i have to ask what are the biggest riskses that they face the central banks, particularly the risks they have put us front and center in. >> well, david, i wrote this article in, on the project syndicate platform to provoke discussion over the full intent of this global experiment with quantitative easing. the fed has injected 3 1/2 trillion dollars of liquidity into the system, well in excess of the expansion of nominal gdp over the qe period. other central banks rushing to follow suit. the bank of japan now of course, the european central bank, and i

think what we're left with here is that they're good at creating the money to buy the sovereign debt to inject liquidity into the system but will they ever withdraw this liquidity and are we destined to have a world financial markets that now has so much excess liquidity sloshing around in it, the likelihood of further asset bubbles or other financial, financially-engineered dislocations is much higher than otherwise might be the case. that is the point i tried to make. david: you tried to say, professor, that we're on the edge of a cliff. what cliff are we about to go off off? what happens? is there some bubble about to explode or what? >> there, you know, in the world that i live in, david, there are cliffs everywhere and, i guess. david: you have to watch your step. >> you have to pick your cliff, right? we had fiscal cliffs.

we had housing cliffs. equity market cliffs, bond cliffs, you name it, we've had it. but in a liquidity-driven world which is what qe is all about the likelihood of more cliffs is much higher than what otherwise might be the case. central banks are not focused on the financial stability ramifications of what they have done by leading us down the road to this massive qe-induced injection of liquidity. david: right. >> you see no -- david: let me stop you there, professor, if i can because we don't have much time. >> sure. david: here is is one of the problems they face, i'm sure you know this, jack welch and warren buffett talked about it today, the dollar is very strong right now because we're pulling back a little, at least from qe. we're still holding on to our portfolio but we're not buying that many bond right now. so the dollar is getting stronger. if they raise rates in this environment, the dollar will get even stronger which is going to hurt our exporters even harder

and that's why jack welch, and i'm quoting him, he said i think the fed would be crazy to raise rates at this point with the dollar where it is of the warren buffett says much of the same. anthony scaramucci and others. what do you say? >> look, we're never lacking for brilliance from these incredible industrialists, but this is perfect example of how central banks set a trap they can't extricate themselves from. more stay with interest rates and more qe they inject, harder it is to wean the patient from the drug and narcotic. a disciplined central banker would say, okay, extraordinary conditions that dictated this approach have now subsided. it is time to go back to a more normal set of policies before it is too late. david: all right. here, again -- >> we need a paul volcker today, david. david: yeah, paul volcker. there is only one of him.

unfortunately -- >> unfortunately that is true. david: i don't see anyone in the wings. richard fisher, by the way is leaving the fed. here is another parish stuck on this narcotic as you put it and that is the federal government. the federal government now pays very low rates for its own debt. it is still paying what, about $200 billion in debt service but if rates go up at all, suddenly that could double, or even triple. which would put us as a nation, at risk of default. that is another problem that the fed faces. >> yeah, but that, david, that's the point. the federal government gets away with that because the federal reserve with zero interest rate policy subsidizes their borrowing costs. so zero interest rates is a foil for fiscal irresponsibility in the united states. if we had more normalized borrowing costs maybe we would bring our budget deficit under better control, more effectively rather than have to deal with what you just described another cliff, borrowing cliff. david: professor, you make a lot

of common sense. i wish people listen to you inside the beltway. stephen roach, yale university. thanks very much for being with us. >> thank you, david. david: argentina is reeling today on news a prosecutor who was shot to death had actually written up a draft indictment of president christina kirschner and her foreign minister last june. the prosecutor believed argentine officials were covering up iran's role in deadly terror attack in exchange a grain with iran. the draft indictment calling for the president's arrest was discovered in a garbage bin behind the dead prosecutor's apartment. it was not included in the prosecutor's report on the scandal submitted by him two days before his death. a week before he died he said he could be killed for releasing the report. president kish mucher in's assistant said he probably

committed suicide. that was so ridiculed bit press that the president came out and said he probably was murdered. the president can only be arrested if congress lifted immunity granted to them as members executive. that is unlikely to happen. liz is in omaha and spoke exclusively with warren buffett for his 50th year at berkshire hathaway. we'll hear more from her interview coming up. general motors profits soaredded from the fourth quarter of previous year, with a year permeated with recalls. what is behind the buck? how could they profit so much with some recalls? ♪

it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. david: these wild swings in the price of oil over the past couple days have been historic. the question is, what beyond issues of supply and demand is going on here? let's bring in the panel. john tamny, real clear markets editor, star of to on fox, one

of the stars of "forbes on fox." fox business's tracy byrnes is with us as well. john besides supply and demand, we understand saudis are pumping a lot of oil, what is going on? >> it is simple. the dollar is stronger of late really last few years. it buys more. so when the dollar buys more the oil which it is priced can buy a lot more oil. oil has become cheaper. evidence supporting this, if you look throughout history, computers, cars, sell phones, when their prices drop the entrepreneurs who bring about the price drops are enriched. with oil, every time the price drops we wipe out industry. that is evident that the price was artificially high when the dollar was weak. the price is much lower now because the dollar is strong. david: that is an interesting case. todd, does he make it? >> i'm not quite so sure. i mean oil, we see oil, it spiked up in the summer based on fear. there was a fear premium built in, easy to say based on fear. now oil sold off because of

stronger dollar, lack of demand. economies are weaker which creates less of a demand. david: let me put it real simple. is it what john is saying strength of dollar is what is driving down price of oil or is it supply and demand, the fact that saudis are producing more oil? >> it is combination of both. it is not just once answer. oil since 1961 is up 650% versus normal housing. david: tracy. >> i think definitely a combination of both. with oil being so high at one point we kind of moved ourself off on being dependent on foreign countries that hate us. there has been good things, not to mention the consumers wallets. the fact we're energy independent is big bonus from all that happened. david: there is a lot of good come out of this, no doubt. gm reporting an astounding 91% jump in profits last quarter. so is this just an oil bounce or is this a sign the economy is really turning around? tracy, what do you think? >> i think they're giving them

away for free, david. 0% financing, you have to be kidding me. david: true. >> with all respect to the little green vehicles you can't fit anything in it. we're still a society that needs stuff and has kids and needs to go places. with oil down, it was a no-brainer buy an suv. david: todd, gas-guzzlers are selling. >> it is gas-guzzlers. she said 0% finance, you realize the average guy with 0% finance paying all 7% with all the deductions. we're pay by the month society. go out, i can afford it by the month i'm going to get it. now they're really paying 7% interest versus zero that you think. get none of the rebates. get none hold back. get no extra money. pay cash for the job, save 6 or 7,000 off the top. david: john is this sign of economy getting better? is this sign of individual issues like low interest rates and price of gas being so cheap? >> well, yeah, a stronger dollar means cheaper oil. so that you get a stronger economy with that. what do the big three do best?

they make big gas-guzzlers. that is their comparative advantage. so with oil cheap, their ability to move cars is much, much greater. david: tracy, are these electric cars ever going anywhere without government support? >> i don't know. i don't know. i know i'm still deathly afraid to get near one. i would be the girl who forgets to plug it in. they're trying and i, respect that but it is going to take a lot to convince people. david, look, gm is the worst performing stock of the year. so it has a long way to go before people are pulling out the balloons and streamers. david: right. i don't respect government subsidies. that, if they can make it on their own, fine but i don't think they can. coming up the u.s. unemployment rate may be down to 5.6%, before we celebrate too much could this number be very misleading? the gallup boss thinks some we'll be discussing this next. we're heading back to liz in omaha, who has more from the oracle of liz? liz: well, he now is worth

employment from the government. there is a lot of business startups that don't count yet. michael bloomberg was surely unemployed for some time while creating bloomberg lp. so it is artificially high. david: that might be, but, tracy usually third world companies, or countries have big underground economies, black market economies, not a country like ours. usually regulations were low enough and taxes were low enough to be above-ground there. are a lot of costs being underground. >> we know that is not true anymore. the costs being above-ground are almost worse. i find it insulting people unemployed and stopped looking they just don't count anymore. they're not even included in the number. this is very typical of the government to brush you aside, we're done with you, we'll move on. we'll find a new number. again, we all took statistics. you can make numbers look as pretty as you want. david: tracy, great last words. thank you all. john tamny, todd horowitz and of course tracy byrnes. with the dow giving up most of

the gains into the close and oil falling back below $50 a barrel, what could have biggest impact on your portfolio tomorrow? we are back with the number one thing to watch for tomorrow. also, we're heading back to liz in omaha. liz? liz: well, i'll tell you something, david, if you start a business with the clothes off your backs, that is what rose did when she started nebraska furniture mart with the furniture in her house. she started to sell it because she had no money. it turned into this today. and guess what? here at the nebraska furniture mart, as they continue to grow, fourth generation, ryan is here joining us to talk about why he left his old job to come home and work back at the nebraska furniture mart. there he is. he is coming to talk to us about their new big effort in texas. a texas-style nebraska furniture mart, coming up. >> hi, everybody, i'm gerri willis. coming up on my show at the top of the hour, the former governor of indiana and current president
