maybe i should tell you quickly what the bet was and what the bets are.o to paul ehrlich was the author of the book the population bomb in 1968 and which famously predicted that we were in danger of global famines and various ecological disaster and warfare as a result of overpopulation. julien simon was a critic questioning the saying human ingenuity and markets and creativity would allow us to avert these kinds of threats. in fact more minds on the problem the humanity face. in 1980 they actually made a bet about the five metals and what their prices would go up or down in 10 years so it was a proxy for the two visions of the future whether population growth would ring disaster or humans would be able to adapt. >> host: and ehrlich lost. >> guest: spoiler alert ehrlich lost the bet. that was the initiative for me since i have an environmental background. trying to figure out what are the lessons of that day so what are those lessons? one lesson is to, just the relationship between human societies and environmental change or not that simple. they are not

and simon refused to take the bet and he said these indicators, you know what do they show? they just show that the world is changing and they do not necessarily mean that humans are going to suffer. so as part of his idea that people adapt to the changing planet and that is what really needs to be measured as a human right expectancy or the size of the ozone hole they were adopting tough things and that really captures the gap between the two ways of looking at the problem. if simon was very focused on human welfare and ehrlich was focused on the environmental relationship and the two of those it was very difficult to establish because in fact both of them the other assertions could in fact be true. the ozone layer could be a diminishing of the same time and we could come up with various ways to adapt that and prevent skin cancer rates from going up and things like that. so, they were unable to agree on a metric and i think that really symbolizes their inability to have a conversation with each other. a conversation in which they were talking about the same terms to find a

i bet -- i bet that was a good parking job. way to go. >>> i think you will be with me on this one.n we were kids playing with the hot wheels track you never seem to have enough of that plastic track to do what you wanted to do, to make it go up on the wall as high as you wanted to. >> hot wheels solved that problem in a huge, huge way. this is at a fan festival for formula one nercht barcelona, spain. they took a bunch of track and they stuck it to the wall of a building. and one lucky little boy here in this video got to start it off. >> yeah. >> puts the car in. it goes racing down the track. and it goes through these different obstacles to keep the car from going too fast from right off the track. >> that's cool they let a kiddo it. >> yeah. >> makes it way better. >> kids from the ages of 4 years old to 12 years old. were able to interact during this whole big fan event. >> looks like another little boy got to pick up the car. happy as a clam. >>> dad wants to play, he ain't having it. >>> videos go viral for all kinds of reasons but i want you guys to tell me why you think thi

mike made a bullish bet on tlt, the etf that tracks bond prices. 100 shares cost over $10,000. >> are you nuts? come on, let's get nuts. >> so to spend less, mike said, he bought the tlt december 104 strike call for $2.90. that gives mike the right to buy the stock at that strike price or in this case $404 before december expiration. but in order to make money, mike needs tlt to rise above that 104 level by more than the cost of that call or above 106.90 by december expiration. below $106.90 and he sees losses by expiration. it gets better because if tlt shares rise above that break-even, the call will increase in value faster than the stock will gain value, meaning more money in mike's pocket. >> this is like discovering plutonium by accident. >> it is even better than that. because since the time of the trade, the tlt has risen 4% making this trade a winner. now, "options action" fans only have one burning question. how can cohen carter make even more money? >> before we answer that. let's see just how much money was made. had you bought the tlt

people are betting that's eventually going to happen.sing rates could add 50 cents to the earnings per share. it could be huge. it didn't do well today because we didn't get rising rates, we got lower rates. even though interest rates took a fall, the fed will have to taper eventually. this is a stock that when it gets hit between here and year end, you buy it. next up, rather than going down the list, i want to jump straight to the fifth best performer and that's schwab. charles schwab. it's good for etrade. it's a discount brokerage, too. they pretty much invented that business model. eventually they will begin to climb. when that happens it will be very big for schwab. for every 1% increase in the federal funds rate, schwab should see a 50% increase in earnings, and it means schwab is an excellent long-term story. the fed can't keep rates this low forever. they've been moving toward higher margin fees and they've been targeting more affluent customers. good for business. the other three are insurance companies and i think they have wh
