the market managed to recover from an early plunge during the trading day. about 800 points at one point, which threatened to wipe out all of the gains made this year. the dow closed under 25,000. the nasdaq added 30 points today and the s&p was down four. but it looked a little scary first thing this morning. to add some perspective, let's bring in a financial adviser, senior portfolio adviser with wh morgan stanley. a little unserv worried about their 401(k)s watching this market. the last time it did this was 2008 when it plugged. before that hand, i remember it
6:15 pm
going up and down like this. what do you think is going on? >> i think it's good to keep some perspective, dan, because if we look at the last several decades, volatility is part of -- it's normal. on average, the market goes down about 13.8% per year from the high. so it's happening every year, and it's consistently happening. however, most of the time the market ends up positive. what we tell our clients is to think about how much of a time frame do you have? are you investing for the long-term, or if you need the money in the next year or two, you should not be in the market. >> if you're investing for the long-term, you just ride it out. but what if i'm retiring next year, this is a problem. so you're saying those people may not want to be in the market at this moment? >> if you're retiring next year, retirement people are living longer these days, so they'll have 30 years or perhaps 40, 50 years ahead of them.
6:16 pm
so they don't necessarily need to be out of the stock market, because they need their money to grow. however, if you need the money for -- because you're going to buy a house, and you need to have cash, you have no business being in the market. >> at this time. >> at this time. >> that's not easy to say, to not be in the market. >> if you have a short-term horizon, it's easy to advise to be in cash. if you need the money in the yex year or two. but if you need it for retirement, you need to go through the volatility. >> the average investor, is there anything we should be doing now before the end of the year or into the new year, what decisions o moves should we be making? >> i think it's always great to talk to your financial adviser and really make sure that you have a financial plan, because i think your financial plan will keep you focused. so that you don't make any kind of decisions that can have an
6:17 pm
effect -- >> but there's no move that you would recommend at this moment for most people to look at other than consult your adviser. anything that you should be doing? >> in december, if there are some losses and you had some gains and you want to offset them, you can do that. but look at your financial plan and stay focused on the long run. >> the economy is healthy, but is the market overheated in are we in for a serious correction? >> that's a good question. if we look at the valuations of companies, the forward ratio of the s&p 500, it's currently around 15.7. the average is around 16.1 times forward pe ratio for the s&p 500. so we're a little bit -- slightly below average. and then in 2000, where companies were overvalued, that number was at 24. >> so five seconds, do you think we're in for a big correction or not? >> we're in for volatility but
6:18 pm

now sports with larry beil. good evening. this will be the fourth straight year the 49ers will have lost at least ten games. the 2-10 niners host the broncos on sunday. with four games left, you could argue losing is better than winning, because more losses means a higher draft pick. that's what we're going for at this point. but the players are fighting for jobs and contracts. they want to win. niners will get marquis goodwin back this sunday. he's been out dealing with personal issues. you saw pettis there on the touchdown. ninis crushed in seattle, 43-16 last week, lost in that demolition was the fact that nick mullins threw for 414 yards. >> i don't know, i guess i didn't realize it. and then at that point, it's not what matters. we lost, we didn't score touchdowns. and so there's a lot of things running through your head.

that was the biggest thing that was on my heart at that point. i wish we could have scored more points. obviously get the fumble call, which we know how we feel about that. and i think we had the ball twice in the red zone and didn't come up, interception, which sucks. so there's some different things where you wish you could have capitalized. scary situation for quarterback alex smith, now dealing with a serious infection following surgery on his leg for a compound fracture last month. the 34-year-old quarterback was the niners first pick in the 2005 draft. he's been hospitalized since november 19th. there is a fear that that leg infect00 could put his nfl career in jeopardy. in two years, justin wilcox has shown he's one of the best young coaches in the country. cal recognizes that, and to ensure he stays in berkeley, they gave him a contract extension and a very nice raise. he was the lowest paid coach
