and therefore most influential component boeing fell as much as 12% in response to that ethiopian flight crash yesterday. it involved the aerospace company's newest model, and we'll have more on that in just a moment. but the dow stage a strong reversal because of a gain in apple shares aftpa that c received a buy recommendation from an influential analyst. other stocks then followed suit and the dow's big decline became a big gain. at the close the industrial average was up 200 points. it closed at 25,650. the nasdaq was up 149, its best day in six weeks. and the s&p 500 added 40. and now to boeing which fell more than 5% in trading today, though it was down asuch as 12% during the trading session. that is because of the plane crh over the weekend that involved boeing's 737 max 8. the faa says the plane is still airworthy. investigators arl on the scene

plane's nose lower. some pilotsy have complained t didn't know about that technology or how to deal with it. late last year the faa ordered boeing to tell airlines more explicitly exactly how crews should respond in those situations. both the faa andhe ntsb are probing the crash in ethiopia. it may be t ely to know what caused the accident, but china, indonesia, as well as some airlines are worried enough to ground their 737 max 8s raising concerns about boeing's most popular plane. with monthly production steadily rising, the 737 billions in cash for boeing. >> given the magnitude of how big the 737 is for growth drivers, that's what's driving the fear >>factor. eporter: here in the united states american and southwest arehe two airlines that fly the boeing 737 max 8. while there were plenty of people on social media saying

i'm not sure i want to get o is plane, both southwest and american say the plane is solid and they stand i by and will continue flying it. guys, back to you. >> phil, tell us more about the faa's directive late this afternoon and the agency's decision not to ground the plane. >> reporter: well, essentially what they're saying,ng i'm loo at it right here, they just issued it. it basically is them, the faa, saying, look, we haven't seen enough here that tells us this plane is unsafe and it grounded immediately. in addition, as part of this airworthiness continuation from the faa, they are saying that boeing wilakbeg some design changes to the 737 max n by later than next month. so it's partly them saying to the world, it's safe. it's also partly the faa saying, boeing understhnds some o changes that need to be made to this plane and they will be making those changes,st at l by next month. 0> by the way, we should point out of these max 8s are in

service around the world. there are about ir54nes so, you know, there are other airlines that are going to have to make a deussion, not american and southwest on this, right?rr >> reporter: t. correct. as the fukushima daiiche goes, determination whether or not to use a particular aircraft. >> phil lebeau, thanks. >> reporter: you bet. the bull market turned ten over theke w and inevitably investors want to knowf it can continue. the chairman of the federal reserve was asked that question during an interview last night on "60 minutes." >> i would just say there's no reason why it can't continue. >> reporter: for years? >> eventually expsions come to an end. the business cycle has not been repealed, but i would say there's no reason why this economy cannot t continue expand. >> just last week the man who is credited forallinghe 2008 crisis says he feels long-term investors should get used to lower real returns.

>> over a long horizon, like 20 years, u.s. market will be delivering 2 or 3% real, and for the last 100 years we're used to it delivering perhaps 6%real. is is very painful -- it's not the end of the world, but it's going to break a lot of heartinhe is when we're right. >> what should investors make oe thomments from two very inflntial figures. ining us is art hogan. welcome back,ar ur. >> thanks for having me. >> just last week those were saying we should get used to lower interest rates down the road with the fed on hold at least for now.ow so rates, lower returns. do you agree? >> well,kn you , i think you have to put things in context and talk about what time frame both of these speakers were talking owout. jayl was asked a question about them both continuing and might have h, he said for a couple of years. i think he's talking short term. jimmyrantham has been talking about this for a long time.

he's talking abo what areeal returns going to be like for the next 10 or 20 years. looking at this and saying the last ten years we had 17 1/2% annual returns, we're not going to see that. we were coming out of a big hole with the s&p 500 off 50% at its low point. yes, obviously we bounced bacyo but i look at the natural history of the market, for us to expect normal returnshe over next 10 years makes sense. normal returns would bebe anywhe een 6 and 8% which is going to outpace fixed income. in my mind the time horizon has to look at this. what does it mean to you,i, and the investor? o we make any changes because jeremy grantham thinks the total returns might beess than average? >> you've always advocated, and i assume you still do, a balanced portfolio, take a look at reit, lance when we get the inflection points. >> sue, that's the most importan to have a plan,

right? stick to the plan and tune out some of the noise. part of t sticking t plan is sticking to a risk tolerance. you can sleep with theio portf you have and setting a calendar item such that you know that you have to look atthis. has the movement in the market had me overweight in the mart and n enough exposure to fixed income? that rebalancing on a regular basis helps that. you have to have a plan and want o stick to it. >> arthogan, words of wisdom. national securities. good to see you. >> good ks see you. th across the atlantic a critical brexit voteak will place tomorrow. the country is set to leave the european union on march 29th. as ofs now there no deal outlining exactly how that will happen and wsillem marks explains,ithe pal fighting has become a parliamentary game of brexit chutes andladders. >> reporter: several months ago theresa may negotiated anem agt for the u.k. to leave the union.

in january a majority in the parliament voted against it. since then may and members of her cabinet have shuttled between bru and westminster to make tweaks to the deal so the house of commons can finally approve it. tomoow is the current deadline for brexit. that's less than three weeks away how can may get from here to there? well, by march 12th she must offer parliament another up or down vote on her divorce agreement with or whout revisions. if lawmakers approve it, she could still try t make brexit happen by march 29th. it's possible she might need more tim to rush through all the necessary legislation in which case she could ask for a brief extension to the deadline with an unctain enddate. if her deal loses that first vote, may's promised a separat second vote on march 13th. that could allow parliament to detsde whether it w the u.k. deal, t the e.u. with a

just not may's deal, or with no deal. now if no deal wins the majority, then without any comprehensive arrangements over trade, cusms or citizens' rights, brittain would still leave the e.u. on march 29th. but if enough lawmakers dislike that option, may's guaranteed a third vote on march 1th to consider a possible extension. if that idea wins parliamentary support, the u.k. would ask europe for more time its options. theresa may wants to limit any extension to threeut months it's not clear whether the e.u. will suggest more time than that, demand less time than that, or offer no time at all. if that third vote fails on march 14th, the u.k. could be back to square one.fo "nightly business report," i'm willem marks in london. time toake a look now at some of today's upgrades and downgradh. we begin w apple. we mentioned this earlier, they were upgraded to buy from
