12:30 am
hi, everyone. welcome to "on the money." i'm becky quick. the fed says no to a giant bank. the economy may be doing better. what does it mean for your money? >> the man who built obamacare, said it will work fine. if you get your health care through your provider that may change. and science fiction becomes science fact. from the consumer to the hospital. how one company sees big profits ahead. taxes that you may not know about that could save you money. and "on the money" starts right now. >> announcer: this is america's number one financial news program "on the money." now becky quick. here is a look at what is making news as we head into a new week on the money.
12:31 am
the federal reserve got out the big red pen and wrote fail against citigroup's plan to raise dividends. it was part of the fed's stress test to determine how big banks would function under adverse conditions. citi90 days to resubmit. citistock plunged. stocks closed lower thursday. down for the fourth time in five sessions. nasdaq touched a new six week low. markets rebounded friday. america's economy is growing at a slightly faster pace than first thought. the gross domestic product, expanded at an annual rate of 2.6% for the fourth quarter. slightly above the 2.4%, previously reported. partly because of stronger consumer spending. and growth in home prices slowed in january. the price index compared to last year. in line with expectations. mark zuckerberg reached into facebook's wall it and bought a
12:32 am
scum p company for $2 billion. and makes glasses for gaming. the stock market doesn't seem to know which way to turn. small caps gifting hammered. the economy bay be doimay be do. what does it mean for your money? chief investment strategist, at research partners, also, the financial reporter at "the washington post." thank you both for being here. why don't we start talking the markets this week. s & p, 500, thursday. giving back all the gains for the year. jason, what does that mean? where are we headed for 2014? >> listen. market was up 32% in total returns last year. and, about 60% of that was multiple expansion, about 40% was earnings. natural that you have some digestive period where you, essentially -- back up the big gains you had last year. having said that i think earnings, we just saw in the gdp
12:33 am
report this past week. are at all time highs. it's not, not surprising to me, that it wouldn't be surprising if the market hits all time highs later this year. >> are you still looking for gains of 8%. 10%. what we heard at the beginning of the year? >> that is right. earnings will be up, 7%, 8%. forecasting. little multiple expantion. if interest rates stay very quiescent, low, which is likely. a pretty good guess. >> talk more about that. elan, what happens with the economy? where do you think we stand? a lot of things got messed up by weird weather patterns. what do you've expect gdp to be? >> i think the weather story is overblown. we saw pickup in consumer spending in february when the weather was bad. if the weather story was true, why would spending be of in february. i think it is going to be the summer before we have a real clear picture on the trajectory of the economy. for the fed purposes. what they do for interest rates.
12:34 am
what happens to asset purchases going forward. they want to make sure that they understand -- what the narrative is. that they're not just reacting to month to month movements. so they're going to be weight of until it is really going to be probably the, may, june, or july time frame. before we really know whether or not, the feds are hitting their targets for the year. >> let's talk about them. wea we need clean numbers. get back to reality. i spoke with larry lindsay. he had an interesting perspective. the fed could be wrong in terms of its economic growth forecast. if you don't get 3%. a problem for the markets. if you do get 3%. they raise rates faster than the market is anticipating. faster than they,a to this point. do either of the scenarios worry you? >> i think that first of all, the risk that they're overly optimistic. that's been the problem all along. the fed is constantly overshot in terms of its forecast. i think if there is any likelihood, one way or the other. on the down side. >> missing. >> the forecast on the downside.
12:35 am
exactly. the sense that the economy might pick up a little bit faster than the fed thought. you have to remember, they're not targeting gdp. they're looking at the labor market. if you are looking at 5 1/2% unemployment rate. could the fed hold off long from raising rates? >> i while before we get to 5.5%. bullish projections don't put it at 5.5%. the 2015 number may be later. >> if we raise rates. early 2015. we have time. more economic numbers. this is worrying abut th ing ii. what does the market do a year from now? >> dent waon't want to say you lose the. the backup in interest rates. thus far, completely in real terms. i think if the interest rates are backing up. forecasting, real gdp growth. that's good for the stock market. remember, ream rates, the entire movement, so far has been in
12:36 am
real terms. last year, ream ratel rates. the market hasn't had that much of a hard time. the real question i think is more about inflation. the market is expecting rates to normalize. but it is because inflation is becoming a problem. a big problem for the market. >> let's talk quickly about the -- the fed, smacking down city's plans. saying you can't buy back that much stock. you can't issue dividend in the way you would like. is the fed right? is it being overly aggressive. what do you think? >> the reaction to the mistakes that the fed made. ten years age which is, it is being, not, not cautious enough at that point. probably overly cautious. financials are becoming like to till tees. cheap utilities. utility sector trading at 17 times earnings. the financial sector is trading 14 times earnings. >> what do you think about the fed's move? >> i think that they have had criticism in the past over whether or not they could prevent another crisis from happening.
12:37 am
they didn't see the first one. if they had seen the first one. what could they do about it? do they have the tools to prevent it from happening. i think what you are seeing, the fed trying to show. we do have the muscle in order to, in order to make sure this didn't happen again. and these are the tools we'll fight the concern, financial instability that could arise in the future over the fact we had very low rates for a long time. >> thank you both. >> thank you. >> up next, we are on the money. the dead loon to soon up for health insurance under affordable care act is just days away. what one of the architects of obamacare thinks is going right? what's wrong wrong too. if you can dream it you can make it. inside three dimensional printing and the revolution it could bring to your house, health and your kids' school. right now as we head to a break. take a look at how the stock market ended the week.
12:38 am
12:39 am
12:40 am
>> four years after the passage of the landmark affordable care act, how will the course of health care reform impact your care and coverage. dr. zeke emanuel, author of "reinventing american health care how affordable care act will improve our tear blae complex, unjust, expensive, error prone system." doctor, thank you for being here. i think that is a pretty unambiguous title about how you feel about things. where do you think we stand right now? four years after passage of the aca, we are in a very good spot. the exchange is about to end. the first open enrollment, projections are by end of monday, we will have 6.5 million people enrolled, just off what was projected originally, and that is pretty good, considering for two months, the federal
12:41 am
exchange didn't work in there. some state exchanges that still aren't working. we have got, ak sthael grectual improvements in quality. hardly trumpeted. declines in hospital infection. decline in errors like early c sections that aren't for medical reasons. so, the, you know, quality has been improving. and then, cost has been flat for the last three years. matter of fact, people on medicare, medicaid have not seen real increases in their premiums. and so, i think we are in a very good spot. as i -- keep saying, that's no reason to go on to autopilot. say well are done. let's go home. we have a lot of hard work, left to be done. but, i think at the end of four years, you have to give the bill a positive grade. >> zeke, let me just pin you down on some numbers. i know it is still early to see a lot of these things. but that number of 6 to 6.5 million. insurers, say 15%, 20% haven't paid their premiums. don't know what the mix is in
12:42 am
terms of the old to young. we don't know a lot of things about, who, we're going to insure before, who got coverage. who got knocked out of the system. still lot of questions. we may not know the answers to some of the things for some years to come. >> but i think some of the questions are more important than others. the first, most important thing is, the fact that you have 6.5 million people. suggests there is pent up demand. people want insurance. they just haven't had a good way, affordable way of getting it. especially if they had any pre-existing condition. second, if we have between, 25%, 30% of the young people, which is, a proxy for healthy people. what you want in the pool. that is going to be enough to keep rates stable. most of the insurers were -- hedging their bets. had, had some premium built in. to their, to their rates. what that says to me is -- the whole idea of an exchange. operation of an exchange is workable. i think the fundamentals of the
12:43 am
exchange are sufficiently solid we can say this is going to work. let me get to a prediction you made in your book. by 20, 25. you expect the majority of employers, will no longer, big employers will no longer provide health care coverage for their employees. i talked to you, three, four years ago. that was my concern from the beginning. we half a massive, following of uninsured individuals. needs to be addressed. if you are somebody who liked your health care insurance it may not be there in the same form it was there before. that concerns me. >> first of all, the best argument against me on that is massachusetts. where they have had romney care now since 2006. and rather than have employers stop appropriate viedi providin employers offering more. i recognize and acknowledge that. making a prediction which i think if the exchanges become optimal, people like shopping in
12:44 am
them. young people buy so much online that they're going to be the wave that actually wants it. one of the reasons, employers offer that. i have to get insurance. give me a way of getting insurance through the employer. another alternative is that companies offer, private exchanges. they don't go on to the public exchange. the company is still offering the range of, choices. so, lots of variables here. and i think, in jen ram -- what people should like about that, that, my prediction is they're going to have a lot more choice. one of the problems is that most people -- who work for an emply year who giv employer gives them a choice. you take it or you leave it. >> i like my insurance. so do the union members. concerned about the affordable care act for this reason. >> they have, bargaining. and they're probably going to be the last. >> right. >> all the more unfair.
12:45 am
they're big, they have a big contingency. they have been able ate -- negotiate around the rules. >> don't think exemptions around the rules. they negotiate with the employers, depending on how valuable they think this is. they put it at the top of their list. they put it further down. >> would you agree. the assessment. there are some who are unhappy. had cadillac plans. getting tax benefits of cadillac plans. they're going to wind up paying more to get the same benefits they have right now? >> remember, tax benefits from the cadillac plans means the rest of us are paying for it. and i think -- as a matter of fairness, that is a very big question. >> the question of quality. there will be some people who are happy and some people who aren't? >> well, look, let's face it. there is no public policy in the world that is going to make everyone better off. tend to be that, as jonathan cohen of new republic pointed out. people complaining loudest are
12:46 am
well off and healthy currently. and, what we really want is a health care system that keeps, takes care of people who are sick, and that provides protection for awful us in case we get sick. >> all right, zeke. thank you for joining us. and i hope to continue this conversation with you. one we will be tracking for several years. >> no problem. >> dr. emmanuel, thank you. >> next on the money. turning science fiction in to reality.
12:47 am

>> mine was earned in korea in 1953. >> afghanistan in 2009. >> in 1971. >> once it is earned, usaa auto insurance is handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection and because usaa's commitment current and military members and families is without equal. get an auto insurance quote. usaa. you know what it means to serve. who are we, the thinkers, the job jugglers, the up all nighters. and turn ideas into action. we made our passions our life's work. we strive for the moment where we say i did it. we are entrepreneurs who started it all. with a signature. legal zoom helped start over 1 million businesses turning dreamers into business owners. and well are here to help start yours.
12:49 am
>> it is the next industrial revolution. one that could take place in your hand, 3 d printing. turning ideas into objects. could be driving that trend. and ceo and founder of maker-bot industries, and thank you for being here. >> good to be here. >> i first started hearing about the things. 8 to 10 years ago. thought the idea was crazy. how did this thing work. i heard about it. juaned one. wanted one. i had to make one. >> how much? >> $100,000. get one now for $1,400. off awe let's look what this is doing. creating a piece of jewelry right now. >> what we have got here. on the back we have the material which kind of look a big -- long spool of spaghetti. >> yeah, material made from, made from corn. so it is, it's great. renewable bioplastic. and it is feeding through the tube into, what's basically a
