. >> when you get 40 of these guys in a room, 40 alpha males. have never seen egos bristing like this. these were big, beefy, you know, bull scientists but the comedy and the tragedy of this is that they were powerful men but their work was far behind them, especially in math. you do it -- it is like a soccer player. you peak in your mid to late 20's. their grandeur rested on something 40 years back. i thought if i get down to writing this novel, here and now, i'm awarding them nobel prize letting him coast for the rest of his life, doing no more soirnings doing politics of science, making the grand applications but never having an original thought ever again. tavis: the protagonist in the story is a nobel laureate who has to your point now, his heyday is line him but he finds himself in a particular space in time where he has a shot at >> i have to say my main character, michael beard, is a complete scoundrel. not above thieving another man's work. one of his gifted students is an -- in an accident and dice and he steals his work on -- dies and

>> what i'm looking at, i think in general, the real demand will be the alpha yield curve. what we continue to see is pension funds underfunded do mustically here at the state and local level. the demand we see is usually in 0% coupons. so any time above 58% in long principles, the yield is very, very attractive. too me what's happened is the qe has officially ended, no more floor to the market as results with the nbs market, so the market has to find a natural level to fall to, and i think that's what we're going through right now. >> why does everybody get nervous. can you explain the supply/demand balance that you're seeing? every time we have someone on, and we ask about the exit strategy from the federal reserve and with do you start to get worriedsh? they say it's 4% or above. >> yeah, i was giving that first example as a short bear, but long tim treasuries represent a lot of values. i think overall the economy is definitely not out of the woods. you have three indicators you they'd no follow to maker make good for a positive return. those are inflation, it's nonexist

you know, for years small cap have taken a backseat to emerging markets, hedge funds, a lot of other alpha generating vehicles. i think that right now people are coming back to those small cap growth stocks. when i grew up, that was the way you played. the valuations are great. the dynamics in terms of the market are wonderful. i mean, you can probably find value anywhere in the market. for me, small caps the most upside leverage to earnings going forward. >> to that end, bill, i want to talk about some of these picks you have. h.h. greg. you say this is a good play off of very good news out of whirlpool this morning. >> absolutely. a very fine mix of -- they're filling of space that was left when circuit city went out of business. a lot of square footage growth there. again, we really like that whirlpool number. hh greg like twice the square footage for appliances versus a best buy. we really like that one. >> kent, in this discussion, let me ask, maybe this is a goofy question. are there small cap banks that you buy and sell, and are they going to be affected positively or negative by al

. >> this is a place where people -- portfolio managers can really add alpha to this, because you can pick out that one or two names that are really going to soar. and today was a great day for that. >> and everyone seems to want to jump on this. oh, the market looks terrible. we're at 1205 on the s&p. look what seagate put up. look what sandisk put up. not every number out there is awful. it seems like this desk right now is on this oh, boy, you'd better get out, this is the top -- >> i'm not, pete. >> it feels that way. >> i'm right here, buddy. >> everybody's going after qualcomm and all these other names. qualcomm didn't produce last quarter either. these are names that just aren't produceing when they're supposed to. and when you look at the ipad and when you look at everything that apple put up, there's a lot of names out there that are probably worth looking at. nvidia comes to mind. they're going to be in the new macs. it when you look across the space it is all about the haves and have notes. and the have that's are doing things right they're getting rewarded. >> what made yo

using portable alpha which was cross dressed debt when i was running for the office.d venture capitalist i said this is a bad idea. when you take on debt it's dangerous. you need to know when you're doing it and there was embedded debt in that strategy. we've had very handsome returns at treasury since i took office because there are a lot of good investment opportunities out there. you can't have fantasy island budgeting when it comes to pension obligations that are trailing and fixed we need to figure out how we fund them and then we need to invest the money better. >> as i understand part of the problem here is that when the stock market was booming, pennsylvania decided we're making so much on our investments for the pension program, we can reduce what school districts and the state have to pay. so the school district contribution is like 1% of payroll. that's not sustainable. they'll have to increase that and do it gradually but have to increase what the school districts among others put into the system. >> and i think that's right. the school districts are sort
