it's actually the best performing developed market in the world by about 15%. done better. but that's emerging. >> yes. developed. >> in fact, it actually pretty much took off right after we made our predictions. no way am i saying i had anything to do with it. but, you know, listen, you get something right like that. they say even a blind squirrel can find a nut. listen, if you thought the u.s. -- first off, also, technically the nikkei tends to hold at around 8,000. if you liked -- people said, okay. the u.s. stock market's only up because ben bernanke is printing and the whole thing is a house of cards. it will eventually come down. fine. maybe you'll be right some day. if you believe equities were pushed up here and in europe because of that then they must be pushed up in japan. as you know as somebody who speaks fluent japanese and has lived in japan, okay, they are going to do everything they can to weaken the yen. >> absolutely. and they have done significantly. >> they are doing money printing albeit in a slightly different way than -- it's basically bi

[laughter] that two of us, don't get us started. let's get right to the floor show. joining us now from the new york stock exchange, cme securities director of floor trading, and from the cme in chicago. we have allen from spartan commodity fund. you know, your boss would always say, why doesn't she ever say your company name. welcome on chris

well, netflix, the s&p's best performer this year, up nearly 300%. doc? >> scott, i'm still waiting to see, you know, some big-volume days as far as any sign that mr. icahn might be getting out. if he's not getting out, there's still enough people being squeezed, judge, that this one could see 400. you know my feeling on it. i think it's frothy at this level. but doesn't mean it can't go higher. >> to the best of the dow, and that is boeing, after finishing 2012 flat, it's up 80% this year. mr. baker? >> yeah, you know, and i think it will go higher. the commercial arrerospaceaeros new 787 boeing, it's an awesome, awesome plane. they just announced $10 million repurchase program, 2.2% dividend, and the stock will go higher in 2014. >> i don't know if there's another stock out there that was as resilient as boeing, just in the face of all of the stuff that happened this year with the 787. >> it's a duopoly. so you have the airline sectors moving well, and you have them. and what else, airbus? that's it. those are the two players, so with the growth in the

business in 2014 can continue this run. >> it was a double, by the way in 2014, among the 20 best performersp 500. nice performance by hp. in august, the ceo ballmer will step down at some point in 2014. >> a lot of places in old tech you can look for great returns. the intel, the cornings, the ibms of the world. i don't care what you say about xbox or nokia, it's still windows. that market is saturated. there's nothing allen my laically, if he comes over from forward, can do. >> cisco underperforming, roughly half the gains of the s&p. >> having a great year until that november quarter which was a disaster. i thought it would hold 21. didn't. traded back down in the ensuing weeks. they're the benefactor of a good tape. now trading 22 1/2. that felt like as bad a quarter as they possibly could have reported. i think the stock on a value basis might be okay here. i think it can recapture 25 easily. >> if you had to go another network -- >> given the fact -- given the sell-off fear, think cisco's more interesting than the other two. >> ibm finishing in the red. will big blue turn things around

and the dow also on the way to one of the best performances it has had since 1995.&p case schiller index finding prices of homes up almost 20% across cities in america. but the one-month gain is just .2 of a percent, s&p saying that shows the boom is now beginning to fade. >>> a memorial in a california park paying tribute to victims of world war ii, but it is also bringing to life a decade's old controversy, and now japanese leaders say it should be removed. >> reporter: it's a simple statue of a teenage girl sitting in a chair, next to herr is an empty chair, although the chair is always covered with flowers, a testament to the continuing emotion this memorial evokes. >> translator: i learned about it in the history class when i was back in in korea, and recently i became more aware of it because of the installation of the statue. >> reporter: during world war ii, japanese pressed as many as 200,000 women into sex slaves they were called comfort women, many of them teenagers. the bird on her shoulder a symbolic connection between the living and dead. the statute i

ukrainian reporter who interrupted the live feed to present him with an oscar, presumably for best performance in a supporting role. >> this story with the oscar is very interesting, because those on the streets have stressed constantly that these are peaceful protests, so they somehow needed to protest against the russian media peacefully and that's why they came up with this mock oscar presentation. it was brilliant especially as it was actually broadcast live on air. >> now giving a mock oscar that's wonderful for us in media. it sends a message i guess to show the one side covering the story is better or worse than the other. i look at all of the coverage more or less and there are different agendas and different objectives. >> as russians and many ukrainians see it, they have objectives of their own that date back to the cold war. the toppling of a statute of vladimir lenin that russians saw as symbolic, actually symbolized some of the shortcomings of the foreign media on this story. >> in many ways it was a conscious reenactment of the toppling of the statute of saddam hussein. which was

getting back to, again, 2011 parity. >> the bull case for jcpenney, look at best buy, one of the best performers where it began the year as it cemented its turnaround plan. is it your view jcpenney could be the best buy of 2014? what is your actual recommendation? >> i have a hold recommendation. part of the reason is because when stocks go this far down and there's this little market cap, they get very volatile. just like we saw last night until this morning. so we're in the midst of a slight turnaround, but they have to get profitability and gross profit dollars. and i hear that best buy argument a lot. totally independent. >> apples and oranges. >> yeah. >> jcp, best s&p stock last month. you have no problem missing out on the 36% run. >> no. i think right now what people who are buying the shares low are looking at sort of an option strategy. something akin to what kelly is suggesting, but you have to say, if i pay $6 or $9, i could still lose the whole thing. so is the upside enough to justify that investment? and knowing that they could run out of cash again, even with all the cash that th

index on track for its 52nd record this year, and its best performance in 18 years. >>> housing pricesng in a strong performance as well. but the s&p case schiller index finding home prices up almost 20% from last year, that is the biggest increase in almost eight years, but price gains rose just .2 of a percent. >>> now to the story of a very small statute that is sparking a very big controversy. this month leaders from japan urging leaders in california to remove the statute. >> reporter: it's a simple ch statute of a teenage girl. on a recent day a korean family came to see it. >> i learned about it in the history class when i was back in korea, and recently i became more aware about it, because of the installation of the statute. >> reporter: during world war ii as the japanese army conquered korea and other asian countries, they pressed as many as 20,000 women into sex slaves, they were called the comfort women, and a lot of them were girls. the statue represents the girls. the 'empty chair the women who are gone. the statute is here because los angeles and some of the surrounding

but peter selva gave a stunning gave aance -- idris elba stunning performance and is definitely in bestest whitaker and oprah are getting huge raves for their performance in the butler. you could definitely see them come into the oscar picture as well. >> each of these movies that you highlight, and even last year, silver linings playbook, there is a very human element to these characters and these movies. are they using those relationships to somehow reach out to other people? is that key? it is movies that have relevance to the broadest amount of people and click with voters in the academy and the foreign journalists who make up s.e golden globe these are not big-budget films. they are $35 million $45 million budgets. nothing to sneeze at, but they take these movies and find an audience for them. that sounds simplistic, but it is not an easy thing to do in hollywood and they are just genius at it. >> you think about the publicity s,mpaigns behind these film are the weinstein's just also very talented a public relations? these are all great films, but there is a rollout process. >> one
