my name is john heinz. thank you, steve, for the information. i was wondering if you could comment on the willingness of the soldiers just an incorporation with a golden brigade and the iaea a little bit. >> i think the iraqi army is willing to fight is pretty well displayed in this ramadi map. having seized the cap and cleared the neighborhood, having seized the palatine bridge and the anbar operation center, and now downtown ramadi. i think their actions because in any words that i could produce. but keep in mind, all of this is done in conjunction with this devastating air power able to deliver across this battlefield. iraqi forces work well together. the counterterrorist service has been in the lead, in fact, most of these sites. the 10th iraqi division as the northern sector of their by the anbar. that was the 10th division. the rest was a mix of counterterrorism service and iraqi army conventional forces. of there has been no issues these forces working together. >> on the strikes -- did the french, did they have any direct involvement in

i mentioned we might see a sequel to the heinz deal. guess what? in march we did see a sequel.raft for $54 billion. that was part of the record year for m&a. we will see if that leads to sales growth. we were talking about hormel. best performer of the consumer staple. >> we will be getting another sequel. >> people think we might eventually. it is going to take a while to integrate these two first. >> energy, by far the worst performing sector of the year. will there be a rebound in 2016? we'll talk to an energy portfolio manager. some hedge funds suggesting that this is really the deal for the next three or five years. monday, after the long weekend, an exclusive interview with the san francisco fed president, john williams. one of the biggest questions for next year is, what will the economy do and how will the fed react? random? no it's all about understanding patterns like the mail guy at 3:12 every day or jerry, getting dumped every third tuesday. this happens every third tuesday. we have pattern recognition technology on any chart, plus over 300 customizable studies to h

years ago when heinz were taken private, they had a situation kraft.fected in the cable space, when thecast deal fell through for time warner cable, everybody knew someone would buy time warner cable and it turned out to be charter. we are in a situation in the u.s. where there is growth, 2% growth. the companies are really good at cutting costs. a lot of ceos said i will take their ebitda and plop it into mine and get rid of people in hr, check them whenever -- hr, tech, whatever. jobs not sound good with being cut but there are a lot of synergies in these colonies. alix: let's talk about the deals being made. they have been on the rise. jeff: what it tells you -- we wrote a story that ran yesterday that says are we at the peak of the peak? alix: 30% average deal premium? peak -- the premiums were off the lower numbers. the stock had not run as high for a lot of these countries. our suspicion is next year we will not see as many big deals. we will not see as many $50 billion-$100 billion deals. typically you just have more deals, $1 billion-$5 billion, $10 billion range. we had 2 deals

and put heinz kraft together as well. >> ibm was a loser. am ex was a loser.s those investments that are part of the problem. >> he owns a lot of these tired blue chips. coca-cola. they did relatively better, but they were only flat. he really didn't have any big winners. >> i think he's sleeping well at night. we'll see you next hour. and you're welcome, dougie cass, for that shoutout there. >>> ten minutes to go here before the closing bell. it's been a crazy last few minutes. we're off the lows that we saw. the dow is down 89 points. watching this one very closely. barely in the green for 2015. but just barely. >> it will be a squeaker tomorrow, that's for sure. why betting on biotech could be good for the new year. something to think about, when we come back. >>> seven minutes left in the trading session, with the dow heading lower. joining us is mike sorrentino. we're trying to look for ideas for next year, and you want to go back to biotech. you think that's a place to look for profits next year. why? >> no question. this is a sector i'd argue probably t

they include walmart, oracle, chevron, ibm in the craft heinz company. releasing late thursday.dicated he did not see enough cable tv. making it clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. i friday morning, that had been scrubbed from the article. howard kurtz is here. not wanting people to see that the president had not been watching cable tv and gets his news from cable tv. >> i do not know what else to conclude. remarks from the president. and off the record gathering from columnists. two other paragraphs are added. it kind of undermines the argument. >> it seems like the "new york times" is front and center cheerleading for president obama. that seems to be an abandonment to some degree. >> i do think it is a very curious move here. this was president of the united states not watching enough tv. to do it in a way without any explanation, that just does not make sense. the headlines were softened in a series of moves where they had been a little tougher on mr. obama. it certainly gave the appearance. trying to protect the president a little bit. >> what is your openi

sam heinz, a minnesota attorney nominated by president obama, has been pending on the floor since july. we're now in december. so i personally applaud the presiding officer today for finally removing the holes on these -- holds on these two good people. i appreciate it very much. he and others have held up these nominees, and it's unfortunate. it's gone. i'm glad. in the wake of the paris attacks, the threats across the continent, it is imperative that we have ambassadors with european governments at the highest levels. perhaps most egregious example of republican obstruction is the nodges of adam zubin. this man would lead if he were approved here a team within the department of state that disrupts terrorist financing networks, cutting off money for terrorists so they cannot finance their attacks. hand in hand, they work with the treasury department. you would think that such an important nominee would be quickly confirmed. mr. zubin's nomination has been pending for more than 200 days. remember what he does. remember what he would like to do, i should say. he would lead a team that d
