bob pisani and dominic chu are working that for us. dom, i will start with you. you really looked into this whole theory of how you can profit from the market going to the down side. >> either profit from it or hedge some of your exposure if you're long stocks because if those stocks are going down, you want an investment that goes up to counteract that loss. take a look at the volatility index, the vix, the fear index. this uses options prices. we won't get more complicated than that. it uses options prices to gauge what the volatility picture's like for stocks. you can see it's been up and down all over the place and it has spiked up just recently over the past few weeks. if you take a look at a more near term picture, see that, over the past three months it's up 47%. that's a massive move for one particular index, if you will. there's an etf that tracks it, vxx is the ticker. it's an chanexchange traded not. take a look at the spike up this way. that's a big one. there are etfs that track each of the indices. take a look at this one. this tracks the s&p 500 in

seat 7, angela chu. i think it's a no brainer. we need to make sure she continues to serve. for seat 8, i guess we don't have an applicant right now. so we are going to have to continue it. for seat 9, again i think we have great applicants, but for me what's compelling about seat 9 is that i do think that it's important to have a perspective of someone who is living in a private sro and somebody living in a neighborhood which i happen to represent 16th and mission that has a number of challenges. i think the fact that ms. frost man spoke about the application of ms. alexander, speaks very highly of the kind of member that she would be. so that would be my suggestion. >>supervisor norman yee: okay. supervisor tang? >>supervisor katy tang: i'm glad that we are in agreement. i echo supervisor campos comments. for seat 2, i don't know if any members of my committee have heard from mr. pattel or received correspondence so i have not. i would be okay with delaying that particular appointment but move with the rest. >>supervisor norman yee: thank you. let me separate these things

dominic chu has the report. >> reporter: the stock market has gotten off to a rocky start and that's got investors worried. this time many are blaming it on weakness of emerging market countries like brazil and russia, still others are saying it's not just those countries but bigger developed markets like japan. the stock market entered a correction dropping by 10% in value since its recent highs but is a pull back in stocks something to be feared? take a look at the last time we have a pronounced correction for u.s. stocks. it was between april 29th and october 4th of 2011. the s&p 500 lost 18% in that time frame. among the worst per poforming stocks were the ones with the most exposure to the ups and downs of the bigger picture economy. financials, materials and energy stocks all were hit the hardest. regions financial and oil companies like marathon oil conversely the stocks that weren't as impacted faired better. the so-called defensive stocks, utilities, consumers staples, they didn't fall nearly as much. think duke energy and colgate. after all we use electricity, gas, tooth pa

my named is alex chu. i am the president of the american association of cpa firms, council of american business association. i'm here to talk about a couple of items that have been raised. first one is the need for an antiretaliation legislation. there have been many instances of city department heads and project managers retaliating against minority owned lbe firms for simply making inquiries into how decisions are made with respect to contract awards or making inquiries as to whether or not the lbe ordinance has been properly apply. in many retaliations, it has resulted in loss of income to firms and owners. also, such retaliations have resulted in cutbacks in employees. because of the prevailance of such retaliation, individuals are afraid to speak up about the lack of opportunity. people are afraid to report the failures and refusal to apply the lbe ordinance on the part of department heads and project managers for fear of retaliation. people have even been afraid to come and testify at this hearing be

dominic chu has more. >> reporter: the word correction is making its way back into trader and investor chatter. generally speaking, a correction is loosely defined as a pull back in the stock market by 10% of more. within the s & p 500 index of large cap companies, over 100 stocks have hit that mark. and around 30 stacks are within striking distance of that mark. this does represent a buying opportunity for some experts. >> if we're in a bull market, this pull back is giving us a really good entry point, something we haven't seen in months, actually. so i'm actually pretty encouraged. but i do think people have to be careful. >> reporter: so if you've got the stomach, these are some of the names that are making their way onto investor's shopping lists in case markets do manage to recover from losses. blue chip well-known companies. 3 m, the ones who make everything from post it sticky notes to scotch brite sponges and cleaning supplies. it's a dow component down 10% this year. integrated oil giant ex on mobile does everything from extract the stuff from the ground to refine it and sell
