we'll get to michelle caruso-cabrera over in italy in a bit.the next government? we'll see but that possibility is what's been pressuring the market. you see the s&p turnaround. the dow only 100 points from an all-time high now negative on the session. nasdaq eking out a gain of almost .2%. there's a look at barnes & noble. their shares are up as a result of barnes & noble's company's board saying it received a notice from the founder, largest shareholder at about 30%. he plans to propose -- again, he hasn't actually made the proposal but he does plan to propose to buy all of the assets of the company's retail business. that would essentially be at stores and barnes&noble.com. >>> moving on to home builders. help rebuilding efforts after super storm sandy. earnings and revenue exceeded expectations. the home retailer's outlook is a bit of a disappointment. the stock kind of doing more of a flat-line at this point. >>> results have been trickling in from italy's elections. i want to get now to what has been moving this market. chief internationa

michel michelle caruso-cabrera is here.a mess. >> if you were planning to travel in new england, you probably aren't. take a look at the cancellation list. 4300 flights already canceled and those supposed to take off, 6600 delayed. that could be across the country because of the ripple effect that happens when one plane can't leave from one hub to the other. it's going to be pretty tough in you're trying to get out there. being on the roads is going to be pretty difficult as well. >> speaking of air travel, a lot of questions about the potential impact of this impending merger between american airlines and u.s. airways. do we have a sense of what it might be for ticket prices? >> it's debatable. when you have fewer companies providing service, in theory, there's less competition and that could mean higher prices. the reason why that happens is because countries are creating higher prices. they want less supply out there. however, these two companies don't necessarily have a lot of overlapping routes so they wouldn't necessa

power rundown with michelle caruso-cabrera and amin.ew york times" reporting chinese military playing, surprise surprise, big role in recent hacking attacks on u.s. companies. how concerned should we be? this feels like a national security threat frankly. >> absolutely. when you talk to security companies in washington, this is a real threat to economic dominance in the world. so much data stolen out of u.s. companies at the ter, terabyte. it was allegedly stolen from their american counter-parts. that's something they need to be worried about. >> i agree with everything he just said. i would add the following. i heard people on tv when the story broke and people on twitter saying, well, the u.s. hacks china as well. this is different. this is the chinese military helping their state-run organizations steal things like blueprints, pricing documents, business plans, manufacturing processes. i do not believe that our u.s. government is helping the likes of ge and 3m and everybody else steal from the chinese. it's not equivalent, asymmetri

art hogan, michelle caruso-cabre caruso-cabrera, along with mr. shactman. let me go to art. bullish or bearish? there's a debate. some people think the sequester will be terrible for the market, others think it would be good. >> spending cuts are spending cuts. whether we decide to make surgical spending cuts and actually start cut beiting spen or whether it's forced on us, it's a positive. no two ways around it. either way you slice it, it won't be bullish while we watch the gldrama going on in washington. but at the end of the day, we'll cut spending. >> $85 billion is the number for 2013. $3.8 trillion is the size of expected spending in 2013. why is that such a big deal? >> i asked the very same question. we spend $100 billion more per month than we bring in and they're talking about cutting spending of $85 billion over the next 11 months? that's a big deal? it's not at all. i would argue it's not big enough. if it were even bigger, it would be better for the markets. >> i was at a cocktail party a week ago with a very distinguished republican senator and i was urging th

michelle caruso-cabrera will join us with the latest there. but a strong dollar and the 10-year yield down sharply in terms of getting out of its trading rage. what's going on? >> absolutely. it's all the technicians are talking about. we're in the high 180s right now. i saw 186 briefly. let's put it this way. in the last 22 trading sessions on a closing yield basis we've been closing between 195 and 202. we have now broken through the seven-basis point closing range to the downside. whether you look at the dollar/yen, or dollar index, we have been mostly the beneficiaries even though the yen has benefitted a little today as well. and one issue that's big down here is we've now been able to isolate what impact the eurozone is having on our interest rates. the funding issues that have corrected since july, maybe we're more responsible for the year-end ramp up in rates because now we've isolated and see yields going down. one other thing. commodities. lumber today, five days down. it's one of the biggest five-day reversals in lumber in a year an

cnbc's michelle caruso cabrera is here with what's moving your money.tment says this move could be bad for beer drinkers. >> there's a reason they say that. as you say, the maker of budweiser wants to buy corona. there's only two big beer makers in the united states, the guys who make budweiser and coors. and what the doj found, either one of those companies raises prices, the other tends to follow suit. but not the maker of corona. even though they're a distant third when it comes to market share in the united states. and because of that, the big guys don't tend to raise prices as often. they fear that if one of the big guys gobbles up corona, that pressure to keep prices lower will go away. and remember, one of the most important things about the u.s. economy, which makes it still the biggest in the world and relatively the strongest, even considering a recent weakness, we have intense amounts of competition. our consumers have many, many choices and keeps our prices lower. it's good for us. that's the rationale from department of justice. >> of cours

joining me now, cnbc chief international correspondent michelle caruso cabrera and laffer. i want to ask you about this whole business. government spending on defense really collapsed and helped bring down yesterday's gdp. >> yes, it did. >> so all the liberals are saying see, we told you so, if you cut spending, you're going to ruin the economy. do you believe that? >> no, not at all. government spending is taxation. milton always said it. the government redistributes resources. you can see it really clearly. two-person world, farmer a and farmer b, if farmer b gets unemployment benefits, who do you think pays for them, farmer a? you know, government spending is taxation. the reason we have the great recession is because of the government spending, not in spite of it. >> follow-up. it would be bullish for economic growth. >> yes, it would. >> but this is the argument i get. it shows up as a negative in the gdp accounts. at least some of it. >> you're right. >> so what do you do? do you just go on ahead and cut government spending? and let the gdp accounts do what they're g

michelle caruso-cabrera is covering the story for us and she's live in rome. michelle. >> reporter: deep confusion here in italy, sue. it's led to deep uncertainty in the financial markets across europe. the outcome of the elections were so inconclusive, not a single party got enough votes in order to control a majority and get anything done. this is a problem not just for italy but for all of the continent because now the leadership in brussels and european union has to wonder as they watch more and more populations reject all of the methods they think need to be implemented in order to change the economies of europe, whether or not they are going to be able to get anything done. additionally what's happened is interest rates of problematic companies have started to rise dramatically based on what's happened in italy. italian interest rates raised sharply yesterday and today. this is a problem because italy has so much debt. the country hasn't grown since the mid 1990s. their debt is going up. their revenue is not. their tax revenue is climbing. it's raised q

in italy, and michelle crewso cabrera is little live in rome. michelle?the hey, tyler, the reason the italian market has fallen so much is it is possible that this weekend's election is inconclusive. that means less tax revenue in the future and the country would struggle to pay back its huge mountain of debt. why is this inconclusive? in part because of the incredible come back of the silvio berless scony. he is the richest in italy. he is a media magnet. if he wins, comes in first place, which isn't likely, but he t is close. it would be the fourth time since he is prime minister of italy. look at why he is so wealthy. he has insurance and banking, a publishing business, he ownes a soccer team ac milan, he ownes a famous theater in rome and a media set, a huge private media company, which is what he is best known for. the biggest competitor to the state-owned media companies here. he has done an -- he has nine lives. if you look at the screen, this time line of silvio burrless coney's life. you can see prime minister from 49-59, 2001-2006, again in 2008
