joining me to explain it all is personal finance correspondent sharon epperson. what does this mean and what is fiduciary responsibility? >> that is the number one question your advisor probably does not want you to ask them. because they are helping you don't understand it. here is what you need to know. when you think about the fiduciary standard. say you go to a doctor who doesn't take insurance and she decides you just pay her. she writes you the precipitation for the best drug for you. looking out for your best interest. then there is a -- who wor who s for a pharmaceutical company. and he prescribes the drug that that pharmaceutical company makes. so it may be something suitable but not necessarily in your best interest. >> and just knowing that, making sure you are told or you are aware of these conflicts is a big part of it. >> that is a big part of it. there are three questions to ask y get beyond the fiduciary rule and look at what the things are you need to know, it lep you figure if they are fiduciary. ask your advisor. many people call them aed a vie

hi sharon. what are the most overlooked deductions people miss? >> well you know these deductions could save you thousands of dollars and the one people often miss is charitable contributions. sure you might keep a record of the checks that you wrote or the caps that you made with the receipt because of documentation but did you base it on your salary perhaps you deducted from your paycheck. go to the pay stub and include that amount. if you were driving to a ch activity you can deduct 14 cents a mile. some don't realize that. for millennials just starting to save for retirement is the retirement savers credit. you have to have a certain income level that's less than $61,000 for a married copy l and $31,0005 0 f a single. for a couple based on the fact you put into a retirement savings plan. so this is key. if you've lost a job or were only working part of the year you may qualify for the savers credit even if you didn't last year. another one to think about is possibly get a deduction for dependent care credit. a lot of people know about the nann

i was in nevada back in 2010 when it was sharon angle and harry reid.f he were to do it again, would he be re-elected? >> he probably stands worse than he did in 2010. his numbers aren't good. you have half or more of the people here who are dissatisfied with him. he's a very pollarizing figure. he would have been a slight favorite for re-election. i don't think he's not running because he's afraid of losing. the republicans, if they had run brian sandoval against harry reid they would have been the favorites. republicans are second-tier candidates. i said it was 55-45 he would have gotten re-elected. >> are we going to see sharon angle again? >> we can only pray that sharon angle appears on a ballot out here. >> what's this going to do to democrats in the state? this is something they haven't worried about in a long time. harry reid has done a lot of good things for the state of nevada so where does this leave democrats in the state? >> there is a caveat. former attorney general has long said that she wants to run for the u.s. senate. harry reid called

sharon.we have talked about sling tv and most recently, playstation view that's a new streaming service that's intended to be a cable replacement. there are a few things to think about. there is no perfect alternative. what ends up happening is if you decide to cut the cord cancel cable, you will need to start piecing together the perfect package. so that could be netflix, a combination of netflix, amazon prime, sling tv, playstation view, cbs has its own streaming service to create a nice cable replacement. so we're still looking out for that. and at the end of the day, the second point here is that it might not be cheaper than cable. so by the time you finish piecing together your package, it could end up being more expensive. the biggest problem for cable cutters is sports. if you do fantasy sports, you're probably interested in games outside of your region and you're probably interested in watching almost every game in a variety of sports. that's not easy because of blackouts. >> and you
