3:00 pm
companies that told me they weren't going to make money money for a year. i'd rather raise the cash and have the money and the dry powder for golden opportunities in the making right now. a lot of stocks are already way oversold. remember, the golden opportunity is on the horizon, and i don't want you to forget that. another wild hour is waiting for us. with we've got the right person in for liz claman. cheryl casone, it's on you. cheryl: i love it when you talk about buying opportunities in markets like this. and i completely agree with that. i will say many viewers have asked me today to wear green, so i'm honoring their wishes -- [laughter] do what i can here, sir. charles: you got it. yeah, absolutely. cheryl: well, this market meltdown continuing this friday as investors see early gains of that as the session drags on. the dow, the s&p 500 and the nasdaq on pace for a third straight day of losses as the dow's weekly losing streak stretches back to numbers not seen since the great depression. i'm going to go through that.
3:01 pm
the s&p 500 inching ever closer, really in and out of bear market territory, down about 20 the % since that record high back on january 3rd. our floor show traders are here to to tell us where to hide from the carnage and really what they're looking at. they're not convinced that things are that bad out there, by the way. inflation and recession fierce are driving this selloff. we're going to hear what st. louis fed president james bullard has to say about the fed's rate hike plan in a fox business exclusive interview. and higher prices at the grocery store may be bad for you but good for the growsly store stocks. we're -- grocery store stocks. we're going to talk to a ceo about what his company is seeing in the stores. and the new partnership with uber eats they just signed. and is crypto dead? i'm not going to say that. is the comeback maybe kind of
3:02 pm
dead? we're going to ask coming up this hour as well. i'm cheryl casone, and i'm in for liz claman once again today. taking you through another rough hour, but we're going to see how this plays out. a lot can happen, as you know. it is a friday. people always looked at these final positions at the end of the week, maybe they make some changes. we shall see. so the dow is on pace for eight consecutive weeks of losses. this is the longest streak since 1932, a year smack dab in the middle of the great depression. that is a time where americans struggling to make ends meet were living in housing like this, hooverville. they were popping up across the the country. you've probably seen many of these pictures in the history books in school when you studied it, i know i did. 1932, right? the price of a loaf of bread was 7 cents, a new car averaged around $610. almost a century later here we
3:03 pm
are, and the market still has good and bad weeks. well, this week, let's just say it's a bad week. not our best. dow, the s&p and nasdaq all down since last friday's close. a lot of pressure on the dow jones, down about 4% for the week, s&p down more than 4.5, nasdaq the down almost 6% for the week. again, you've got to stay with me until the end. boeing shares playing a major part in the dow's dipped today. boeing, as you can see, is under severe pressure, about 7.25%, one of the main stocks we're watching. i'll get into that in a little bit. caterpillar, also that stock as you can see is under pressure, at point down more than 5.5 the %. even ev darling tesla is sinking as elon musk is denying allegations of sexual assault. so according to a business insider report, a flight attendant for the space, and corporate jet fleet is accusing the tesla owner of inappropriate
3:04 pm
behavior, asking her for an erotic massage. remember, he just said within the last 48 hours he believed that there were going to start to be a lot of political attacks against him, politically-motivated attacks. still, tesla down almost 10% right now. so the quarterly reports for a lot of the big retailers this week causing major moves in our markets. ross stores, the latest sign of retail wreckage, missing several analyst estimates, disappointing earnings earlier in the week, blaming inpolice station for the missed mark -- inflation if. the inflation story is trickling into everything. okay, let's get right to the floor show. i need some cheering up here. joining me now with $135 billion in assets under management, mark that shinny and wall street veteran and seaport securities founder and president teddy weisberg. teddy, i always love to have you on days like today to be the
3:05 pm
calm voice in the storm. >> well, cheryl -- [laughter] it's tough, it's tough to find too much positive about what's going on. yes, clearly there are some very interesting values being created. a bunch of stocks are oversold. and, in fact, truth be known, we've sort of been nibbling, but i mean just nibbling this week on a very select few of names. but on balance, we're clearly in the soft sand here. we're not, in my opinion, we're not done going down. we'll know sort of when we yet to the bottom of the area when the stocks stop and the markets stop reacting negatively to bad news. but clearly, we're not there yet. we'll get there, i just don't know where that is. cheryl: okay. you're saying right now we're kind of in that kicking a dead horse type of phase. i i thought that was a really good analogy that you prosaided. -- provided. go ahead, sorry. all right. so mark, over to you. same question to you, obviously.
3:06 pm
the retail story has been a mess this week. you know, inflation, it is everywhere. stores can only, you know, squeeze the consumer so much, squeeze their margins so much, now they're getting punished by investors because of the numbers that we saw. but again it goes back to this talk of a potential recession, mark. what do you say? >> well, cheryl, certainly something that we have sympathy for. we can't ignore the risks associated with it because there's a confluence of factors swirling around that certainly give plenty of evidence to suggest the economy is slowing from the heavy pace we had last year. but yet at the same time, not necessarily indicative of an imminent recession. we're having a hard time reconciling this week's relief from the government on retail sales which was actually quite strong against the earnings report given by the com at hadti thati wt iner t their the pre tauhesey thed so so badly ondly where earrengs estiestettri attting a ingt

3:08 pm
at one point companies actually start to lay off employees because they are getting squeezed so much and businesses are starting to suffer or they realize they can't pay everybody a high salary, so they do more with less. >> well, you know, i don't think we're there yet with, cheryl, and i don't think we're close to that point. pleasure but i think, i think as mark was alluding to, i think the problem really for the consumer -- sorry -- [laughter] the problem for the consumer, quite frankly, is that the gasoline at the pump, you know, is $5 give or take, you know, and tending towards the higher seed is side -- higher side. there's inflation in the food arena. so, you know, most people have to drive to work. not everybody has luxury of taking a bus or a subway or a train. so i think the consumer is really getting squeezed here. because, you know, at the end of day they've got to feed their family, and heavy got to get to work. so what's going to suffer? if it very well could be the numbers like we've seen from
3:09 pm
target, ross stores and even walmart. cheryl: yeah. >> so, you know, i think there's some really inmeant problems in -- inherent problems in the economy and is with the consumer. i'm not suggesting that mark is wrong, but i think that that there are real issues out this, and they're being masked. in addition, if i can, there's so many unknowns out there, and the markets can deal with bad news and the markets can deal with good news, but the markets really struggle with unknowns. and we've got some pretty big unknowns that investors are facing, and they just don't seem to be going away anytime soon. cheryl: well,ing yeah. we've been here before, teddy. and i know why your phone's ringing, teddy, because tomorrow is your birthday. [laughter] >> oh, yes. cheryl: 82 years young. >> thank you for telling everybody, i appreciate that. cheryl: of course, you bet. no, hey, you look great, and you're just such a wonderful guest to have. you've been with us for years and always a good voice of reason especially on days like
3:10 pm
today, teddy. have a great birthday. i hope you have a good one. >> thank you. cheryl: teddy and mark, thank you very much for being with us, as always. all right, fox business' edward lawrence got an exclusive sit-down interview with the st. louis federal reserve president james bullard earlier this afternoon. a lot of news was made in this interview. bullard gave an upbeat forecast for the u.s. economy. he says recession is unlikely despite red-hot inflation and, of course, market volatility. edward lawrence, you're live at the economy museum in the federal reserve bank of st. louis, missouri. and, you know, i was very happy to hear him say that. i think that -- i think the market actually did react at that moment. he did kind of calm the market a little bit. >> reporter: yeah, and you could see that. he also told me that he believes that the inflation will come down on the business side first, the ppi number, he believes, will dallas canically come down in the coming months. they actually have a real gold
3:11 pm
bullion here, and this is actually heavier than it looks here. [laughter] $1800, about, is what gold is at this moment. bullard was saying you don't need to rely solely on gold because he believes the fed can avoid a recession. listen. >> i think all that is great. >> reporter: so talking about a hot economy. so when federal reserve was saying, hey, let the economy run hot for a period of time, this is not what they were talking about. you were talking about inflation a little bit lower than it is and how long should americans expect? >> a little bit lower, i mean, inflation is crazy high. so it's way too high for, compared to our inflation target, and that's why this is really '70s eraen inflation. and that's why the fed has to move aggressively to keep this inflation under control. the sooner we do that, the better.
3:12 pm
otherwise we'll be wrestling with this for, you know, another decade, and we don't want to be in that situation. so let's get the job done and get it done now. >> reporter: but the markets are being squeezed from two sections. they're not only seeing interest rates go up, they're also seeing the balance sheet shrinking or start to shrink on june 1st. bullard said he expected this repricing. >> -- are asking financial markets to shoulder additional volatility that's occurring and more than they're used to. i'm sure they wish they didn't have to reprice all these assets for the new environment, but they do. and and we'd expect volatility to come with that process. but i think it'll be worth it in the end. >> reporter: he says it'll be worth it in the end, but there's some heart ache right now. this is actually one of carts they move the money in, dollar bills in here. let you guess how much money you think is in this cart, cheryl.
3:13 pm
cheryl: let me think. um, hmm, i don't know. >> reporter: full of $1 bills. cheryl: i'm not -- >> reporter: okay, the reveal. $507,610 in this, and that's actually one of the carts that they muse to move the money down in the vault. cheryl: i never guess those, like with the jelly beans, you know, in the jar concern. [laughter] i'm always way off. >> reporter: there's a lot of $1 bills in here. this is definitely not how i want to take 'em. cheryl: grab the gold is run, edward lawrence -- the. [laughter] thank you. >> reporter: there you go. cheryl: thanks, edward. great interview, sir. all right. let's keep on this topic of your money and dollars. groceries may be costing an arm and a leg these days, but one grocery chain is going high-tech to deliver the food from the store to your home on the same day. we're going to talk to the grocery outlet see owe about his new partnership with uber eats. taking a look at big board, so

operating system for finance aha's going to transform world in many ways, and that will put a lot of value in crypto. i think it's going to take longer than he thinks, but at the same time, if draper looks back and looks at price of amazon and compares how bitcoin has performed over last two years compared to amazon shares, it's basically gone ten times better. so maybe 50,000 isn't that crazy after all. cheryl: maybe just a little further off into the future, to your point. i think most people believe bitcoin's not going to go anywhere. let's talk about chainalysis, because a lot of your customers are banks, cybersecurity companies, and as cyber crime has become kind of a hot space, how are you playing into that? >> so we are basically building a layer of transparency across

multiple -- in the world. we can look at it and assess what entity did it come from. it also means that we have a very good map of anything that's illicit. it could be tools for cyber crime, it could be atm networks that have been used in criminal activity, and and it could be recordist organizations, could be north korean hackers. and that basically enables law enforcement agencies to use our products to chase down crime. and that's what they're doing, and that's why we have seen very successful investigations being conducted over the last couple of years. cheryl: how bad is cyber crime right now in the crypto space? [inaudible] by way, i'm asking about account theft, accounts being drained, that that type of stuff. >> yeah. so i think accounts being drained is clearly a huge problem. biggest problem is scams. yesterday alone there was 150 different examples happening on
3:42 pm
blockchain. we can see that in realtime. also what happened was that $15 million was stolen in criminal activity, and out of those 31 million was -- 11 million was taken by north korean hackers. they're being moved, thefts comprised from that. so that stuff we're seeing in realtime. but the same thing we need to remember is that the crypto space has grown tremendously. from having around 1% of criminal activity including thefts a year ago, we are now down to, like, 0.15% or so. so clearly the growth of the crypto space has been growing par faster than growth of crime on blockchains. cheryl: that's fascinating, michael, because we've heard -- it's been reported that kim jong un is operating on crypto, and that's how he's maintaining power in north korea. that is really interesting about those hackers, wow. okay, i wish i had more time. i'd love to get into that with you. really quick, with all this fund
