melissa: charlie gasparino, we're so happy to see you. we're talking about investors in this report in "wall street journal" that they are tipping off folks before they make their filings and that we saw a lot of these stocks go up. what do you think about that? is it true? i suspect it is and here is why i suspect it is. i put this to carl icahn when he cam came on our show a month ago. for some reason, cnbc would get a tip. melissa: i'm unfamiliar with that organization. >> they could get a tip about some activist move about herbalife or something along those lines. i wondered, stock would go up. it was clearly a plant. not well reported out stuff. and, often, for example, with herbalife,, i believe a short was first exposed on herbalife on cnbc. there has been stuff -- melissa: is all that legal? >> here is other thing. there was a leak about soros in herbalife being long. i want people to leak to me. it is illegal when you do that and you go out and, you play the stocks. suppose someone bought the stock before they leaked it to cnbc a

fox business' charlie gasparino is here to explain.ly he was a little low. >> he was a little low. some of that stuff is stuff you put in. social security. so you kind of deserve it. it's not all welfare state. but it is a staggering number and when you think of obamacare and these other things, what it really comes down to, this is a political message. the democratic party and the people that are in favor of big government are look to basically get a permanent democratic majority by making so many people hooked on government where you just got to keep perpetuating big government. it's essentially what they want nationwide is what you have in new york state and in california, where someone like andrew cuomo is considered a conservative. he's a liberal by any stretch of the imagination. but because he wants to scale back the welfare state or not make it grow as much as the far left, he's considered a conservative. and you have democratic majorities and maybe permanent democratic majority no those two states and what they're looking to d

let's bring in charlie gasparino, matt mccall and hilary kramer. what do you guys think? >> i think it is overrated. looking up last couple calls he called. he called end of bond bull market three times in last four years. like bears call the end of the bull market and stock market. you keep coming out eventually you will be correct. if you look at stats he hasn't done very well. deirdre: if you're time something off you're not making money, right, hillary? >> yes, but, bill gross maybe lagged all his peers in first two months of the year, but 0.75%. he has been around since 1970. deirdre: he is worse than 87% of his peers. 90% of the funds out there did -- >> such small amounts of money. deirdre: last year he lost 2%. if i was investor and lost 2% for me last year when quantity funds are making money hand over fist would i be really mad. what do you think, charlie? -- quant funds. >> i'm not a class warfare guy. bill gross's problem, aside from everybody has bad years, sometimes people have three bad years in a row, his problem is pr. he has lousy pr. why is that? when y

charlie gasparino has exclusive details on the story broke, he is making his way down the hall. how often nyse-listed beating out the nasdaq at least for now in the race for ali baba's gigantic ipo. you got to hear what charlie has to say. my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleedi

charlie gasparino joins us now with sheila mullen, senior bond reporter at mmi to discuss this. >> notenior bond reporter, i would say one of the experts looking at the bond market. i've known you for a long time. what is interesting about a story you broke last week about a huge shift in russian treasury assets out of the u.s. into some sort of third party fund. explain it to us in a minute. i've been hearing from the banks that the banks are saying if this thing heats up, this ukraine crisis to the point where we have to freeze their assets, then stuff is really going to start happening. the markets are going to turn down. is this a preliminary step to russia saying we think you will freeze our assets? >> well, they had the money at the new york fed. >> right. >> sorry, $105 billion at the new york fed and they moved money overseas. >> right. >> they moved money away from u.s. sanctions. now the u.s. sanctioned i believe 11 individuals. e.u. has sanctioned 21 individuals some with connections to russia. some with connections to crimea. >> right. >> bussians need that money in case th

charlie gasparino is here with the details. call the bankers bonus and how is this not keeping in that thing? >> when you talk to rival bankers they have no reason to stick out for citigroup and not on the record because they are afraid. what they say is look at the arbitrary nature of what goes on with stress tests. last year jpmorgan didn't fail to address tests but they got some sort of delay and asked for more stuff to do more stuff in terms of capital and all that so they delayed and forced them to do more. why did they do that? the people at jpmorgan did that not because they have a capital fund but believe it was payback for the london whale. whenever these raiders miss something they use the stress test as a way of smacking back at the banks and putting them on notice. that is what dick bove said. adam: a lot of taxpayers would say good. >> we could wait in and go back and forth but citigroup people believe this is clearly payback for that scandal they had in the mexican subsidiary, a huge scandal brewing, foreign bribe

here to talk about it, cybersecurity expert, a ethical hacker and charlie gasparino and tom sullivan. what i love about the story is the mock outrage on part of the tech ceos. you have the nsa has a venture fund where they invested in companies to partner, to do this surveillance, to go in, right? >> absolutely. i think it is mostly a charade right now. melissa: on both sides? >> on both sides they have the legalese and wording of the specific justification that gave the nsa access to that data. and from the company's side, i think that they're starting to realize that they might have thought that data was not, you know, very big in terms of privacy violations but, in the context of collecting all that data from different companies, pro providers, nsa can build a really good profile on people. melissa: charlie you have a keen nose for bs. do you have a smell of bs at this meeting. >> these are all his supporters. melissa: that's a great point. >> eric schmidt is great obama supporter. zuckerberg holds fund-raisers in facebook offices for the president. to say we need a big meeting to
