12:00 pm
thanks for being part of "the real story." here's shep. >> we watched the dow jones industrial average plummet more than a thousand points this morning. before an incredible turn-around. so, what in the world are you supposed to do with your money? and what in the world is going to happen in the final hour of trading? i'll ask the financial professionals as we track the final hour with team fox coverage. >> first degree murder charges for man accused of killing a state trooper who stopped to help him. what we know about the suspects and the good samaritans who took him down. the cheating web site, ashley madison, goes on the offensive. off ifing a big reward to anybody who can help find the hackers who exposed its users. the owners may want to save their cash because lawyers are hitting the company with a big lawsuit for more than half a billion dollars. kennedy is here with more. let's get to it.
12:01 pm
>> i told the news team just about an hour and a half ago, this last hour should be about a celebration. after all, look what we recovered on this day. history all over the place. celebration? hold off on that. in the next hour, one hour to go on wall street. this is already a day for the history books twice over. we'll be watching closely to see how it all finishes. it does not look good and what means for us. today brought the biggest point drop in dow jones industrial average history and the biggest point recovery as well, i'm talking in session. by mid-day today the dow climbed 985 points from the session low. didn't last long, of course, a live look at the big board shows you we could make history again, we're 100 points a. from the biggest one-day point drop in the history of the united
12:02 pm
states. starting seconds after the market open, the first two minutes were unthinkable, and the fox business network stuart varney gave us the play-by-play. >> i have to go to in the new york stock exchange floor. we're down a thousand points elm the biggest drop seen for the dow jones industrial average. can we bring up the volume? i'm hearing a lot of shouting and screaming. i'm not implying there's panic but i am immying there's high excitement and high anxiety on the exchange as the dow drops 960 points. >> eventually went down something like 1,080. analysts blamed the drop on the slowdown in china's economy. that country has the world's second biggest economy and the computer market here took our stacks into the tank. analyst says an overreaction maybe. but the story from much of this afternoon has been a remarkable recovery. analysts si at the low point this morning bargain hunters
12:03 pm
bought stocks when they were cheap and they were. so after a nail-biting first few minute with anybody with a 401(k). wall street crawled out of the gutter nicely until like an hour ago, and now we're on track, and we could reach, the lowest one-day point close in the history of the market, and it is fox's top stepand the fox business network, adam shapiro is live from fox business network's headquarters. nobody has seen anything like this. what happened with the rebound and what is happening now? >> we are as we go into the last hour of trading accelerating back down, and the dow is down 645 points. part of what is going on is the people who made money during the rebound are now getting out, the day traders. the question is what do people with 401(k)s and mule to all fund -- mutual funds do. you do nothing. you ride this out, if you're under 60. the best thing to do is -- it is panic are. when you see this volatility and
12:04 pm
huge volumes on the exchange today you ride this out and you do nothing or you'll get burned. >> i know a lot of it was computer trading. this thing that happens the last two hours of the session, that's the most important. >> it is. on friday we were muddling along, down, and then picked up that last 45 minutes of trading on friday sent us right over the top and we were down 55. then today you could see that again. disney stock hit a low and then jumped up. apple hate 2-week low and then jumped up. now the people who made quick profits, hedge funds, they're getting their profits now and you'll see the downside accelerate heading towards the close. >> we'll watch closely. thank you. with us now is liz anne saunders-senior vice-president and chief investment strategist for a charles schwab. she analyzes and enters the economy and markets.
12:05 pm
also shares swab investment strategy counselor. an hour and a half ago we're off like 150 on the day, and i can wait to ask you about this remarkable turn-around. how do we make sense of what is happening now? >> well, the first thing i want to do is -- i don't by any means want to diminish the pain that a day like today inflicts on investors, and how much angst it causes. we have to be very careful about the headlines and the reporting around point drops, and as as sensational as they are and you want to grab people with headlines -- idon't have to grab them. 1,080 points does it for me nicely. >> but using the terms like crash and not putting things in percentage terms. a thousand points is the biggest drop in point terms but the crash, as a for instance, like 1987, it was a 23% drop in one day. were that to happen on a day like today you would be talking
12:06 pm
about 4,500 dow point. >> and in 2008, the day after the u.s. house said no to a $700 bailout bill, we drop. we're at 3-1/2 now. we add 3 1/2 to friday and thursday and people are flipping out and i'm asking you, person who has money and wants to do something with it, what do they do now? >> on a day like today, don't do anything. the point you made is an absolutely valid one. you're dealing with the mechanics of the market that are tricky for individual investors. money moving around is measured in nanoseconds and these swings are not all that different from we saw in the now so-called flash crash in 20 and it is very treacherous, particular live you're driving your decisions based on emotion to react on a day like today. we have to go on the assumption that over some reasonably long period of time, even in the
12:07 pm
medium term there will be a connection between fundamentals and stock prices. we're in a correction right now. we hilt the levels on friday's close, at least for the dow and nasdaq, correction defined as a 10% drop or more. we're probably there on the s&p 500 as well. that's actually not abnormal. what has been abnormal is how far we went since the last correction, which is over 1,000 trading days in 2011. so this is a healthy part of the process. i don't know when we hit bottom here. i don't think it's here yet but to react on a day like today doesn't tend to serve investment portfolios well in medium to lock term. >> ever seen a seven year bull run like this? >> we have had what we call secular bull markets, long-term marks a have gone on decades. the secular bull mart in 1982 to 2,000, longer period of time without a 10% correction. so, this is not unprecedented. but it is still abnormal.
12:08 pm
the span of time we went without a 10% correction. by the way, over the long history of the stock market 10% or more corrections on average happen once a year. so yes, it was unique but not unprecedented. >> and it's not over. liz ann saunders from charl swab, great of you to join us from connecticut. more markets in just a moment. we have terrible breaking news, live picture in new york city, queens is the borough, a bus has crashed right into a building. and has torn part of that building to pieces as you can see. a local media are reporting -- theser pictures from wnyw. what what' new yorkers watch. and their helicopter pilot is talking to the local station ass we do not have a clear picture of exactly what had happens. aside from the crash. we don't know about the people. the bus is one of those casino buses that takes people to and from the racetrack and the casino. there's one in the borough of queens and that's where this was going, either from or to.
12:09 pm
dozens of firefighters on scene and producers has been watching as they take injured away on stretchers. a casino bus crashed into a building in queens. there's a lot of damage, damage to another vehicle. clearly horrible damage to a building, and we'll have muff more on that in a moisture. the president of france giving his anything are top honor to the heroes took down a would-be terrorist on a train. the ceremony comping a day after the men described how they stopped the attacker. >> alek came up and grabbed the gun out of his hand while i put him in a chokehold, all three of us started punching him while he is in the milled. >> what we learned about the heroes from america and the gunman who they confronted. that is coming up. we're continuing to watch the dow and will thrghout the afternoon. the dow down three points, 2% on the session. 527 points. the finish is what matters and we'll track it with team fox coverage throughout the hour. we're glad you're in.

continuing coverage of breaking news out of queens, new york, live picture here. the local network news affiliate, abc7 in new york, says seven people have been hurt as a bus crashed into a building in queens. 63rd avenue it is, and in rego park. happened just about 40 minutes ago. the victims have been taken to hospitals, according to abc 7, and more on this as it comes in.
12:13 pm
a bad bus crash in new york city. continuing to follow the turmoil in the market and if a like on the corn over wall and broad. we're off 615 points. 3.7% at least for the moment. whether this is indicative of the next 47 minutes, unknown. we'll watch it. joining us frow is dan rump. >> it's a bad day. we're doing loot bert than we were this morning as you saw the dow fell more than a thousand points shortly after the open. so we're bouncing back hard. but actually giving back a lot of the gains in the last 20 minutes or so. >> fundamentals are good. >> that's the thing. the fundmental nets u.s. are quite good. the economy is growing at an okay pace. interest rates are still low. so things are good here. things are good in europe. things nor got in china, not good in the emerging markets and that's what people are latching on to here. >> i was wondering as i watch
12:14 pm
the business network like everyone else, are we -- is the market saying something about the fundamentals that the people aren't say or do we not know everything we need to know about china or some combination? >> i think it's a combination. there's a lot of worry that china is a bit of a black box the underlying economy in china is in bad shape. china is the number two economy in the world so people are trying to handicap what is going on. the backdrop is corporate profit growth hit the skids. so yaw have a stock market at lofty evaluations for a while, very expensive, and no growth in profit. so the come bin mission of un -- combination of uncertainty is causing nervousness. >> we leave the technicalities of this to our friend tet "wall street journal." every knows the fed has pumped money into the and is then quantitative easing and now can there be more? is there anything else in that
12:15 pm
toolbox that everybody talks about from the feds? >> well, there's fewer things for sure. s' rates are already at zero. of course the thing that the fed could continue doing that is still in the toolbox is do nothing. the next fed meeting is next month, and a couple weeks ago the consensus on the ground was that the fed is definitely raising rates. this is going to be it. that's totally shifted in the last couple of weeks. less certainty whether or not the fed will act and whether the fed even really wants to act with the market in turmoil. >> all 30 industrials in the red. that means every dow component is underrather, -- underwater, there is a leader and is apple's -- is that a sign of things to come. >> apple was cull lay really weird stock today. this stock just cratered in to n the morning, down 12%, and now rolled over once again and that one has people really nervous. ford stock this morning, ford
12:16 pm
motor, fell 25% in the first five minutes. >> that screamed china to me. so did apple. >> a lot of exposure to china from ford. all the technology stocks are very heavily exposed to china. and then you saw the real big rally in the stocks mid-day and they've given a lot of that back. so that is people trying to furring out where should these things be trading at. >> the computers started this is the morning. >> yes. no doubt about it. computers are a huge part of the market today, an overwhelming part of the market. one being thing going on this morning, it's the middle of summer so there's not a lot of people working in the stock market, so you had a messy open, you had a lot of people who weren't working, a lot of bad liquidity on the floor and that explains a lot of the turbulence you had today. so that was a big thing. >> how do you feel about the next 44 minutes? >> i would be pretty nervous for sure. i'd love to meet the folks who
12:17 pm
bought the dow when it was down a thousand points but i'd feel a little less cheerful about things now. >> or who got apple at 92. somebody did. i doubt if it's a regular person. >> no doubt about it. the next 45 minutes is anybody's guess at this point. i think a lot of people are really sort of taken aback by the moves today. >> we're seeing what is happening. what it means is another thing. >> we'll have coverage throughout the hour. we're hear from the three americans who tackled a gunman on a train overseas. more on that. we're waiting for new information out of new york city. the bur borough of queens. thinking about what to avoid,
12:18 pm

12:35 pm
it's not there now, in a month or two could be at zero. >> zero. >> i think so. you start looking at the underlying numbers and the behavior of beijing is not consistent with 7% growth. like the devaluation, all the stimulus. the governments don't do this when they have a strong economy. >> we watched it in awe as millions and hundreds of millions of people moved from one economy to another, from living on the land with their family as they had for centuries to this new city environment with empty cities and no place to investment money. little people investing big money they borrowed in the stock market and now you look at it and wonder, have they just killed it all? >> they probably have attempt government has done to bring up the stock markets, it has gone in and started to buy stock. they're the only buyers these days. and so you have the government buying and everybody else trying to get out.
