. >> and you can bet on which city can win. marquez reports, a lot of people think it's chicago's to lose. >> reporter: chi-town, it's the odds-on favorite. so, the bets are coming thick, hot and heavy for chicago? >> absolutely. only one city in town at the moment, that's chicago to win the olympics. >> reporter: at britain's bet makers, chicago looks good. but that doesn't mean jackpot. >> betters are never wrong. you might think that. but the olympics has a strange history. >> reporter: for the 2012 game, betters were putting their money down on paris all the way along. but where are the olympics coming? london. same was true for beijing in '96. atlanta won. bookmakers say chicago's odds went up because of one person. and they're not talking about oprah. chicago has been favored all along, but just by a hair. 5 to 6. when president obama announced he would make the case in person, the odds skyrocketed, 8-15. that is, for every 15 pounds you bet, the winner gets another 8 pounds back. safer bet, poorer payoff. and what does v

the bearish bets last week paying off. the stocks with the worst week since june. with earnings weekend set to begin next week, is there more pain to come? let's get in the money right now. we saw volatility spiking. s&p 500 losing 5% on low economic news. sound familiar? maybe it's because we've seen it before. we've seen it back in july. weak economic news dragged the s&p 500 down 7%. volatility spiked as investors bought protection and then boom the rally was, of course, on. is it going to play out the same way? >> i don't think it's going to play out the same way, but there's a good reason we might seeing this kind of market action. the only window into what earnings might look like, the economic data looks almost identical to the way it looked the first week of july. if you take a look at the unemployment numbers, they disappointed by an almost comparable amount. it's really the same story playing out again. this time, what are the expectations coming out of earnings? i have a feeling it's going to be a lot tougher for stocks to rally. >> we did have that sell

when investors sell covered calls, they're making a bullish to neutral bet. by selling an out of the money call against the stock they own. the upside, sells of the call generate extra income. the down side? your gains are capped to the strike of the call that you sold. plus the money you received selling the call. so let's take a look at how mike's trade went down. he bought shares of national oil well, but he wanted to increase his return. so he sold the nov october 40 strike call and collected $1.50. but if mike thought shares were headed higher, why did he cap his gains for just $1.50? because by selling that call, mike can now make money if his stock goes up, does nothing or even trades down. too good to be true? let's take a closer look. when mike put on his cade, national oilwell varco was trading for $33.95. >>> scenario one, national d'arco declined. or the price of the stock minus for selling that call. anything below that level though and mike will lose money. >>> give yourself an additional $1.50 downside protection. >> mike makes money off the sh

we are betting on asian growth, but also betting on some of the more defensive and high quality sectors of the equity market. we think there is excellent value in the telecommunications sector today. there is excellent value in health care. you've got dividend yields on some of these stocks that are 200, 250 basis points above treasuries and growing earnings strength. >> great to have you on the program, dennis. thank you very much. dennis stattman joining us. the appetite risk is returning in a big way. we'll check on that given the risk aversion situation. eeeÈ9 >>> there is a live picture of the floor of the new york stock exchange. dow down 162 points. broad-based sell-off after a good run-up year-to-date. technology, financial services among the stocks leading the market lower on the heels of weaker than expected economic data. it is no secret the markets have seen a huge rebound hitting their lows back in march. and stock prices moved higher, and so has demand for risk among investors. to give us a truly global perspective and shed light on blackrock's clients and what they are

are they making a bet against the future of television and a bet for the future of the internet? does ge need the cash? there's lots of issues here. o. >> and andrew, my right to assume -- i guess david, you've got to help me on this, too. ge starts at 49. they're going to phase that down over time and eventually just kind of -- you know, i don't say pull out but really diminish their position. >> it's a slow but steady sale of the company if, in fact, the deal as described to me happens, larry. that is true. there might be various options to put out certain amounts of stock of comcast over time. so yes, that 39% would come down. they would die vest themselves entirely of the entertainment assets becoming a company of course comprised of ge capital. >> we've got to leave it there. thank you ever so much. very illuminating. coming up, no gold, no silver and not even bronze for president obama. the olympic committee handing the president a humiliating defeat as chicago knocked out of olympic contention. much more on what this means for america's credibility around the world. you're

safer bet, poorer payoff. and what does vegas say? chicago is still the favorite, but rio is a strong second. >> rio is probably the second choice because south american countries never had it before. >> reporter: want a long shot? pick tokyo, at 24 to 1, winning that bet might feel like olympic gold. miguel marquez, abc news, london. >>> and we hear which city wins tomorrow morning. >>> "on the money tonight," october got off to a rough start on wall street. worries about jobs and manufacturing weighed on the market. the dow lost 203 points, more than 2%. the nasdaq was down almost 65 points. >>> and most automakers saw sales go in reverse last month. september sales were down sharply. especially for gm and chrysler, as cash for clunkers came to an end. >>> federal health officials are expressing new concern about pregnant women and the h1n1 swine flu, releasing what they call, quote, upsetting numbers. the cdc says at least 28 pregnant women have died from h1n1. 28 dead out of 100 women with the flu who were sent to intensity care.

i'm not a betting man so i couldn't say. seriously, alex, it still looks like -- there is a buzz out there and we can only go by the buzz. the vote is secret and it hasn't happened yet but the buzz is telling us chicago keeps building and building momentum. the bookies are giving it to chicago. even before the obamas came here, chicago was the betting favorite. but, you know, betting favors have lost. remember paris for the 2012 games and we already called he them the london games but at one time they were supposed to be the paris games and that didn't happen. anything can happen here. it's crunch time now. as you said, all four finalists, chicago, rio, tokyo and madrid, on paper, this is important, on paper, their pluses and minuses cancel out and pretty much the same technically and ioc delegates has said such. what's different is the two potential game-changers. one of them of course, is the obama factor. that would help chicago. the question is did the world's most powerful man appeal today and it was a persuasive one, d

and you can bet a lot of people here were watching very closely. the local stations actually went on the air 1:45 local time to carry chicago's presentation live. now, not everybody in the city is excited about the prospect of getting the games. the polls show the population about split on it. they can all agree that winning the games in 2016 would really change the landscape of this city, just be a huge undertaking over the next seven years. so people watching very closely. a lot of viewing parties scheduled for later on today, including where i am at daily plaza, one of the biggest. thousands expected to watch that decision, expected sometime around lunchtime today. dan? >> yeah. a lot of excitement. about eight hours to go. but, you know, big things are on the line. thank you, kristen. appreciate that. >> you bet. >>> now here's a look at other stories making news "early today" in america. >>> a 72-year-old texas grandmother who was tasered by a police officer has now been offered a settlement. a dash camera captured sure being trapped by the su
