>> i think the value stocks will come back, becky. lot of the drag in the last year or so in value has been the financial stocks. we know when growth becomes more plentiful and as the economy and earnings improve, that will be the case. that's usually when value stocks begin to outperform.m. so our guess is the nod will go in that direction. >> so have you changed any of your buying patterns as you see this setting up? >> well, we become a little more value-oriented in what we do. we trim technology, which tends to be more growth-oriented, like it for the long term. we've taken some money and added it to energy on the pull back we saw several weeks ago. so our view is that you do want to lean in a value direction. >> you know, bob, we were just talking about energy prices with oil back $70 a barrel. if you're getting into these energy stocks, is it your best guess that energy prices will continue to climb? >> well, i think if they hold in here, the oil companies can do pretty well, becky. look, oil is, yes, up from 35 to 40 but also d

there's no question. >> you'd run into becky. >> we'd run into becky on her vacation. >> governor, doive us a preview? what is the state of the state? >> i think the economy is actually beginning to turn. i don't -- i don't think it is a sharp "v" turn but i think we're seeing positive movement in employment beginning to happen. i probably will see -- y'all probably see weekly claims again show diminished layoffs on a national scale. as you said in your opener. 13,000 new private sector jobs in construction and manufacturing and hospitality and leisure and services. we're seeing some signs that i think you're beginning to see a turnaround going on. while everybody wanted instant gratification out of the president's stimulus program, i think you're beginning to see some of the starting points of people going back to work. you know, particularly in the construction trades. now, the housing market continues to be weak and it's troubling. with unemployment at 9.5%, 9.4%, whatever the number is here nationally, it does put pressure on individuals' balance sheets is in the housing market. t

becky, joe? >> $8.50 an hour?e glad we have you here this morning because we wanted to ask you about the news last night. eagles picking up michael vick for two years. can michael vick's reputation be rehabilitated by the nfl? >> reporter: yeah, you know, we'll see. i think he's going to have to rehabilitate himself, that's the key. he started with the humane society and doing the two speeches that he did over the past week. but we'll have to see. the press conference is at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. how does he react to this? we thought the first reaction was going to be on "60 minutes" they got the exclusive for this sunday but obviously now he's going to address the entire philadelphia press and the whole world today. we'll have to see how he reacts. i mean, it's all about the reaction. he's got to address all his critics and almost become friends with all his critics, peta, the people for the ethical treatment of animals, had a press release that was harsh and expected. let's see if he can work with them. i don'

becky's with us in utah. hi, becky, your thoughts here? >> yes. >> go ahead, becky. >> caller: i was wondering why all this time she's been in jail and even before, why didn't they bring all this up to everybody's knowledge about her thinking that -- them thinking, rather, they were planted there? >> well, i think they -- anne, you can help me out here. they've been building their theory and defense, right? for over time. >> that's right. and your caller raises an excellent point. but the fact is in a criminal case the defense files their motions as they learn about the evidence and develop it. they're supposed to think, but they need to think about something in a defense, and then they bring it forth to a judge. it's just coming up now procedurally as we come closer to the trial and as they go through the discovery. >> got you. much more on this coming up. as you see, we just saw casey there actually showing some emotion. we'll bring dan hill in, and we'll talk about what he's seeing here with casey. the emotions there, but as she's leavi

a tenth of all retail, as becky mentioned. don't don't know about the consumer until we hear from them. >> this time walmart stopped issuing monthly sales guidance so it leaves analysts with a much bigger hole to try to figure out. >>> stocks around the world reacting positively after the fed hinted at signs of economic recovery yesterday. the nikkei rose 82 points overnight. hong kong's hang seng jumped 418 point, about a 2% move. and then european markets are up at this hour as well. and the futures this morning looking pretty good. joe, we talked about how things are looking around the globe with gdp positive in france and germany, too. >> 95 point a couple days ago, down, led by the financials. snapped right back up yesterday. we were up as much as 170. >> that was a good feeling, right? >> yeah, it was. especially for people that are so ready to call a top -- or to call a correction. >> as "the journal" did already -- >> some of those guys are allowed to invest and aren't in. people that write articles like that -- it's j

>> you bet, becky.y if you look at the hard numbers between our central bank and the boe and the ecb, they're actually printing money faster than we are. so the concept is a little convoluted. watch out when mists starts to break down. things get hairy. >> we saw the boe say it's going to put another 50 billion pounds into it. that helped the dollar but gave back some gains by the end of the day. >> right. people aren't on the story just yet. then all of a sudden they'll change. you know, i think that if you dive into those numbers on thursday afternoon from the fed, you can see that they're playing a very aggressive game right along with us. so this is what jim greg called years ago monetary hot potato. we are definitely in the throes of it right now. >> hey, bob, what do you think happens over, say, the next couple of months as you watch what we saw yesterday with this quantitative easing decision, the hot potato kevin's talking about. who winds up getting burnt by it? >> i think the dollar and yen ha

i'm becky quick along with joe kernen and carl quintanilla. the fed is set to wrap up a two-day meeting this afternoon. it has a policy statement that's expected at 2:15 eastern time. the central bank is widely expected to keep rates on hold for now even though a growing course of directors is looking for the fed to upgrade its comments on the economy. different economists say we could be nearing tend of a recession. the fed is expected to announce a program to buy $300 trillion in treasuries will come to an end in september. >>> a new survey of the nation's economists find ben bernanke should be reappointed to a new term as federal reserve chairman. meantime, a majority of them surveyed say that the recession that began back in december of 2007 is now over. those who don't think it's over at this point say it will be this month or the next. on average, economists expect that the third quarter gdp will show a 2.4% decree in growth at a seasonally adjusted rate. key drivers include manufacturing partly helped by inventory adjustments and strong

it was pretty hairy, becky.nk you have to put it in context that yesterday here in the states the afternoon trade was all about the qe ending and winding down into august, early september with what the treasury and fed are doing here. so by upping their program over there rather unexpectedly, a dramatic fall in the pound, the dollar rose against -- across all the currencies. about a 20 basis point move in the bond market over there helping pull our market back up some, too. >> so dollar's going to see a little strength after getting pummeled recently. >> right. >> what kind of pressure do you think this puts on the fed? >> well, the fed's spot is getting tighter and tighter because of the equity markets' rally. so there is a contingency people betting against the fed's ability to hold the rate down, becky. i would put it this way, the volatility in the currency market is really what's driving things. inside the notes, the bank of england noted that the export sector was beginning to stabilize the economy for the
