dave: it is extraordinary on all sectors. i disagree with both of you about the fiscal cliff because there are real concerns whether the president wants to resolve it or if it will be resolved but the point you make is a good one, we are poised for greatness in equities aad i think of this dividend situation, all these companies, costco, disney, 1 pointed billion dollars, billions of dollars as we mentioned sitting on the sidelines for years literally will be walking into the economy just in time for christmas and holidays. >> just in time for that but also another reason we should expect a fairly strong first quarter because what happened with sandy will put downward pressure on the fourth quarter but we will have the stimulus from the dividends that will help to push the economy higher and we will have a rebuild program. we have to be fairly optimistic about what the landscape looks like as we turn to the new year. liz: the sectors you like our financial, industrial and materials. >> we like growth cyclicals. one thing that

dave arnold on "the next list." i'm dr. sanjay gupta. >> so i'm the director of culinary technology here at the international culinary center. i started doing that, i think, around 2005. at that time there was really no one anywhere that had this kind of position. my pitch was, look, you don't want to hire a scientist because they can't really talk to chefs, and you don't really want to hire a chef because they are still cheffing right now. what you need is someone like me who can talk to chefs, know what they want, talk to scientists, get the information they want and do a good synthesis with that. >> because he's here in new york city and at an influential school, he brings knowledge about this stuff to a broad set of folks, so he really plays a central role. >> the problem is you have to put it into water when it wants to hydrate because it wants to hydrate at all temperatures. i'm a chef, but i'm like, now i'm done. >> there's a certain group of chefs who kind of came to expect that from me, that i wouldn't tell them so

dave: quality is important.ality of medical education is so high that many are concerned that will be slipping as we need more doctors. we need thirty million people to insure and more doctors and less of them so the quality of our medical education may deteriorated. dave: the graying of america. liz: people living longer. we need what they are developing. >> forget the fiscal cliff, the most significant deadline for congress may not be for a few months. lenore hawkins telling us why this thing could trigger big moves for your money. liz: despite strong reports, we have housing bull who was really ahead of the game who now says there is one thing lurking out there that could derail the it recovery. what is and how you can play and make money. fall was on facebook. log onto facebook.com/"after the bell" and tell us what you think. the you get excited about the housing market? is there another leg down. streamline the process? at fidelity, we it by merging two toolinto one, combining your customized charts with le

dave ramsey, the host of "the dave ramsey show" welcome. >> thank you piers, good to be with you. >> on the face of it. a good bit of fun everybody can hope and dream, what is wrong with that? >> well, the problem is several things. one is false hope, because as you said in your open analysis, you are more likely to be struck by lightning six times than win the ticket tonight. so this is just crazy. and the problem is, that it is a tax on the poor and on people who can't do math. rich people don't do the lottery, look at who is in line, daryl and his other brother, daryl. >> well, i know a lot of people who play the lottery, basically, greedy pigs. there are statistics to that, the majority of people say that the majority of lottery ticket buyers tend to be poorer, uneducated, minority groups, and so on. those statistics are there, but at the same time aren't they the most designed to gain by winning? and what is wrong with giving that section of society a bit of hope, even if in the end it turns out to be a hope that is not realized? >> well, because it is false hope, is the problem
