art hogan is with us, managing director from jeffries. let me throw a couple of negatives out there. debunk them or tell me if you are worried. chinese stocks down for the third week in a row. copper, first weekly drop in six. down to the chinese inventories. rubber, biggest weekly loss in more than three months, again, due to china. things to ignore or signs of trouble? >> i think you have to look at china and n. separate ways. first of all, we know that gdp growth rates are. we know there's built-up inventory and probably has one of the best stimulus packages in the planet. market went down 20% because it was up 80%. the market isn't their economy. i think the prices are getting more rational in the chinese market. you can look at commodity prices like copper and rubber and the entire commodity complex and say we've gotten to stabilization. i think we're going to be in pretty good shape coming in the fall. a lot more inventory rebuild away from china that we need to do. i'm not as concerned about china and certainly our market doesn't s

joining us now for market strategy is art hogan, managing director. and julian pendock is with us. arty, i want to start with you. today everybody everyone will be focused on the fed. but let's start more widely. we've had a really nice move in july. the markets are at new highs for the year. is this kind of as good as it gets for a while? have we maybe stolen a little momentum from the fall? are we due for a pullback? >> you know, it's interesting. that's the $64,000 question. everyone wants to know how we got to where we are on news that was less bad. second quarter earnings season came in better than expected, but still not where we have not them to be. i think what we've effectively done is priced in the now, priced in sustainability. nobody is predicting economic growth in the second half of 2009. it's really the first time for 2010 when we start looking forward to multiples. it's still reasonable. but it's going to take a vith catalyst to keep us moving ahead. the other thing here is we've got a dichotomy of events happening. the fed is, at some point in time, will have to st

neil: passing the buck might have worked fine for hogans heroes, but presidential historian says thatconvoluted excuses only make them look worse. you say, move on, right? >> it is so much easier. it is easier in your personal life. i think when afs up, they have been better off historical. when they have not, something can last a lot longer than it would otherwise. neil: in the case of this e-mail message, it was sort of lighke backing off slightly, but not dramatically. what do you think of it? >> it is not exactly john f. kennedy taking full responsibility for the bay of pigs disaster, for example or even barack obama at the beginning of his term when there were a lot of problems with some of his appointees and their paying of taxes. he said, i believe -- he said, i screwed up. neil: he was specifically referring to tom daschle. go ahead. >> exactly. essentially, when presidents do that, people respect it because everyone knows a president cannot possibly understand everything that is going on across the government. a president is not going to approve an e-mail message that goes ou

farm report" guests this week jim bower and mike hogan. i think what i'd like to do is spend time this week what do farmers need to do. mike, i'm going to ask you first. do you have a one, two, three thing farmers have to have in their mind to take advantage if these prices go up or lessen their disadvantage if they go down on corn, beans or whatever the trade is? >> sure. absolutely, what works in either scenario and that's really the baseline of what you want to strategize about. on corn, we're certainly below most break even costs for farmers. certainly at one of the lower points in the year even with the rally the last couple days. something you probably want to take advantage of. i would step out into pep paper. i would look at option positions something that doesn't get in the way of a further topside move at this point yet at the same time you want to look at something if the marketcontinues, this is just it. you still have something that's booked and isn't losing value as rapidly paced. there are some fairly bearish downside target

art hogan joins us now from midtown manhattan and he is jeffrey's -- i'm sorry you will miss a piece of mark's tomato. economic data still coming in the next hour. >> it is interesting. the cpi came spot in line with expectations. we would like to see signs of inflation. we haven't seen that yet. remember it is still early in the cycle for that. if we work our way to the fall and don't start seeing a modicum of inflation, that's will be bother some. the other piece of the puzzle here, between can't celebrate the industrial production numbers that are bouncing off the low of the cycle which was last month. remember, this is moving in the rate direction. up to 68.5 capacity. we need to be in the 70s before we can say we are out of the woods here. i don't think we are going to celebrate the economic data so far today. a lot more coming out and certainly picked it because there has been more good news than bad news and market proved that out. >> so, art in terms of the next couple of weeks, right, someone wants to maybe -- going away on vacation. you just want to jump in and put a little

. >> now let's get to the buzz around the big board, art hogan, managing brecht ter at jefferies.weekend? >> you have to look at a few things. the economic data stream is better than had been expected, especially all the data we got in residential real estate this week. so i think that's constructive. i also think that in terms of technology and tech spent, we have seen it pick up in consumer, you heard from dell last night and intel this morning. understand that there's a big upgrade cycle both in hardware and software coming in the fall and 2010. we expect the price has been lackluster because you're waiting for that upgrade cycle. think about the fact that you've got windows 7 coming out. you're not going to upgrade now. everybody is running on xt. nobody shifted over to vista. you've got 8-year-old systems and 8-year-old computers waiting to be upgraded. that may cause more technology spin coming into the fall and into the first part of next year. you have to be careful this week and next week, only in so much as all of the volume has been in the top five stocks and a lot of t
