halliburton your choice here. how much of its fate is tied to oil? >> obviously are the fact that oil has rallied from its lows in the midsummer is a positive for halliburton. it's a field services company so it's not necessarily an oil-integrated company. if you look at field services, oil north of $80 a barrel should provide good support for their services that they provide to larger oil companies. >> tom: finally, let's update the january 28 picks. you like energy back then with apache, the share price down 14%. comcast down six. do you still like these? >> we still own both of them. our over-weight to both of them is lower than we saw in january. we did see pretty good price appreciation in january until late april and they sold off, kind of reflective of the overall concern over europe and the broader economy. >> tom: real quick are the funds have positions in these, correct? >> absolutely. >> tom: our market monitor this friday, eric ristuben, chief investment strat can gist at russell investments. >> it's encouraging to hear eric upbeat on the

destruction of trade barriers has allowed these corporations to pull their money offshore i mean even halliburton most of its subsidiaries are in dubai they don't pay taxes so what we're seeing is it similar to the age of the robber barons but in fact worse big. because there is no loyalty to the nation state the corporations are actually hollowing the country out from the inside they've destroyed our manufacturing base only nine percent of the american workforce is in manufacturing and what we've been is over thirty percent of revenue yes well a day in a world war two it was forty plus percent and what we're creating is a kind of neo feudalism and we're already seeing it with the leeching out of these huge post-industrial pockets of utter despair i did a story that's in the nation magazine this week on camden new jersey which per capita is the poorest city in the country and not coincidentally the most dangerous law and and used to be a manufacturer it's of such poster child exactly it was how many hundreds so even probably tell krit we're talking with chris hedges his new book death of the libe

it's called by many the how important loophole of course remember dick cheney the former head of halliburton also the former v.p. of this country. so according to your reporting the fracking industry has spent seven hundred forty seven million dollars to lobby congress to keep fracking unregulated how does the fracking industry deal with this i mean if it's so safe why shouldn't it be regulated. over and over again that isn't exactly same we've seen a lot of pennsylvania earthquakes in arkansas to blow up in pennsylvania the past two years but you know they're running pretty intense public relations campaign to convince you of that and also to convince lawmakers not to regulate it you know we've been regulated limited regulation we've had you know fracking is going on a state by state basis new york took on more. than ohio pennsylvania the basis to open their doors but you know the e.p.a. is study right now is due out next year that could pave the way for federal regulation and that's why we've seen so many companies rushing to get. let's talk specifically about what's going on in ohio now d
