nicole: stocks falling for the fifth straight day amid growing concerns about the weak global economy. allianz chief economic advisor mohamed el-erian told our own liz claman on "countdown to the closing bell," we can't count on the federal reserve to intervene. >> we've been addicted to the fed. and normally the fed comes in quite quickly with this type of volatility but not this time of around and for good reason. they really want to get out of this business. we have to understand this. we're coming to the end of the road where we could rely on central banks to bailout and to repress financial volatility. nicole: we have to get some reaction. we'll get it right from gary kaltbaum, president of kaltbaum capital management, fox news contributor. he knows what is going on and well aware of the fact that the dow is down over 10% this year led by those financials. gary, what do you make of it? >> first off i think he is right but i think he is right for another reason.

i just think markets don't care anymore what central banks do. just remember for years anytime a send training banker would say something or do something, markets would skyrocket. every time they would lower rate or tease lowering of rates markets would skyrocket. in the last two months, you had europe, you had japan, you had china all talk about and do lower rates, more printing of money and stock markets have crumbled because of it. i think just the game is up. and i think we're in different scenario. i think central bankers have to be careful what they say right now. lauren: gary, why are stocks selling off then? this morning we're looking up arrows but in general why the steep selloff this year, the worst start to any ever? >> i told you for a few months now. i think markets flushed out the economic growth around the globe is heading south and some areas of the globe are in recession already. and i don't think you get oil

prices crashing and transports also without there being trouble around the horizon. so you already saw .6 number for gdp here. i expect next couple quarters you will see some negative numbers. whether it gets really bad or not i'm just not sure yet. nicole: what will you watch for to know it gets really bad? transports and oil, transports are economic indicator, right? truckers, shippers, moving stuff manufactured and alike are they economic indicator? >> few things i see right now. shipping rates are all-time low. we'll start with that. if you just look the a lot of economic numbers coming out right now, we're starting to see bunch of negatives and flat-lining everywhere. over last seven, eight years, under cover of all the printing of money and zero percent rates, debt has skyrocketed. we have gone from 12 to 19 trillion in debt.

that is hurting economic growth and potential of the economy going forward also. so i think we're in this area where there is a lot of bad things underneath the surface and guess what's happening? they're starting to bubble up now. nicole: gary kaltbaum, president of kaltbaum capital management. thank you very much. lauren: oil prices heading higher this morning after touching the lowest price in about 13 years yesterday. those gains helped by more reports that opec members are willing to cooperate on cutting oil out put. phil flynn, senior market analyst at price futures group and joining us once again. hi, phil. >> good morning. lauren: good morning. the rumor opec will cut production is going to eventually be a reality? >> i think where there is smoke there's fire. listen, there is nobody in the world that -- money on oil, i don't care who it is. talk about saudi arabia, two dollars to get it out of the ground. this is starting to inflict real pain and i think some of the

opec members in the gulf states that have really been against any type of production cuts are starting to realize this is having larger ramifications on the global economy. and so they might not have anybody to sell their oil to, if the global economy collapses. so i think they are now seriously at least, contemplating a possible cut. nicole: phil, when we talk about what's going on with oil overall, it is not necessarily just opec. i want you to explain, from what i've heard, not really demand issue. it is really a supply issue. we talk about the cuts that are necessary. how is demand? >> demand has been strong and it is the fear that demand will collapse. it is perception. and it is really go edged story. the reason we got into oversupply situation was the u.s. energy producer. shale revolution started to increase inventory. in the past opec would have moderated production to keep prices down. but they didn't like to do that

because then they would lose their customers to the shale producers. so, what eventually happened we got into this production war, at a time when the global economy was very, very weak. and, instead of actually inspiring the economy, inspiring demand, it created uncertainty and fear. and that's where we're at today. so now, if these fears become a reality, if the slowdown in china becomes more pronounced you will see demand really fall. lauren: we're in trouble. phil flynn, thank you so much. have a great weekend. senior market analyst, price futures group. >> you too. nicole: coming up actress meryl streep is in hot water over her comments about diversity in hollywood. we'll tell you what she said that made headlines around the world. dangerously-cold weather to the northeast this weekend. fox meteorologist maria molina will have the deep freeze forecast.
