i'm kelly evans on this st. patrick's day on the new york stock exchange. plenty of volatility to mark the occasion. >> i don't see any green. >> it's in spirit. >> i'm bill griffeth. what's unusual about this market, we have so many triple digit moves for the dow to this point. i had the research staff look into this because i suspected this was going to be the case. of the -- i think it's 11 trading days that there have been so far this month in march, the dow has seen 8 triple digit closes 8. four have been up four have been down. that's unbelievable volatility. >> today will be the tiebreaker at least but it just tells you a lot about the month. it's been up it's been down. in fact an even number of times. >> but what's also interesting, let's all remember this is the day before the fed announcement and usually you get a very quiet day ahead of that and you're getting anything but right now. triggers aren't taking a stand either up or down ahead of the fed meeting. >> final hour of trade begins

i'm kelly evans.'s ceo, craig menear in just a few minutes here at the home depot conference at mandalay bacony convention center. now let's check in on how we're finishing the day on wall street. the dow off with a decline, about 116 points by far the underperformer of the day. the s&p 500, off half a percent, down ten points on the close there. the nasdaq certainly bucking the trend. it's up about 10 49.92. we couldn't quite close above 5,000. again, we did that earlier this month for the first time in 15 years. but we've only done it once and it's been a struggle to get back to that level ever since. we're going to talk about these volatile markets with a great group today. joining me now is our bob pisani from the floor of the new york stock exchange. kenny polcari, "fast money's" guy adami, and our mandy drury back at headquarters. a warm welcome to all of you. guy, i'll kick it off with you here. you know, the dow and the nasdaq had two very different days today. >> very different days, because

i'm kelly evans. we're finishing up the day after a historic close on wall street giving back some of the gains. the dow jones industrial average, the s&p across the board retreating from the closing highs we saw yesterday by 85 points with regard to the dow, about 10 points on the nasdaq, 2,107 is the level. half percent declines across the board. the nasdaq off 28 closing at 4,979 and a lot of other headlines in different parts of the market today. we have oil to talk about. we've got corporate debt. we're going to get to that with today's panel. joining me is evan newmark, kate kelly. evan, we haven't seen you in a couple days. what do you think about nasdaq 5,000? >> it was a brief but beautiful dalliance, kelly. like many things in my life. look, what am i supposed to think about it? 15 years ago. i don't believe it symbolizes a lot other than it gives us something to talk about. >> but is it the kind of thing you look at and it sends a shiver up your spine and you feel like people are overexcite

stay tuned now for the second hour of "the closing bell" with kelly evans. tomorrow, kel. >>> thank you, bill and welcome to "the closing bell," everybody. i'm kelly evans. let's begin with how we're finishing. a tough session on this tuesday. the dow jones industrial average, as bill just said off on the lows of the session. off 318 points. for the first time crossing that three mark and we're going out there on the session with a decline of about 1.8%. the dow back below 17,700. the s&p giving up 35 points. it sits at 2,044. the nasdaq off 82 to 4,859. let's bring in today's panel and sort through all of it. cnbc contributors carol roth and jon najarian are here with sara eisen. also with us for more on today's market action larry glazer joining us and "fast money" trader steve grasso will join us momentarily off the floor. but, carol what do you think is going on here? >> i feel like investors are in a relationship with the market much like a woman might be in a bad relationship with that guy you know. >> just not very good for you but you just can't quit

i'm kelly evans, coming to you live from las vegas as they say, bill, today. >> kelly evans in las vegase? i think not. >> i think not. >> i'm bill griffeth here at the new york stock exchange. we are following stocks. the nasdaq's darned close to 5,000 right now. and let's not forget today is the first day apple is in the dow. we'll talk about that. we've got oil lower, the dollar has come back again. all after these huge fuel moves by the fed meeting yesterday. we will get to all of th

i'm kelly evans. here is how we're finishing the down day.e green for the occasion. we got some with the nasdaq. 4,937 as it claws back to 5,000. the s&p giving up 7 points. 2,074 is the settle and the dow off 130 points before the fed meeting tomorrow, and i have a feeling that's how the headlines will be written. let's ask the panel what they think. joining me evan newmark, jon najarian, and carol roth. with us for more on today's market action and oracle's earnings report due out any minute "fast money" trader guy adami and dan morgan. great to have everybody here. dr. j, what's your read? is this about the fed, nay, yeah? >> no, it will be for 24 hours or less but what it has been about, kelly has been how fast people can not be hedged in the market. in other words, it's a dynamic hedge people are throwing on both against currencies, against commodities and these when they're moving as fast as they are right now, people can't keep up. so you've seen continuous chasing of that market whether it's commodity like crude oil or whether it's th

i'm kelly evans. what a way to kick off the week. it looks like st.atrick's day early because it's a sea of green on wall street. the dow going out with a gain of 225. better than 1% across the board for the major indexes. the s&p up 28 to 2,080. that's roughly the closing level today. the nasdaq adding 57 to 4,929. back within shooting distance of 5,000. let's bring in today's panel and talk about what this means, perhaps about what the fed might do this week and where we will take that european trip. bill blan ka toe is here and kayla tausche. we have "fast money" trader tim seymour and dan greenhouse. phil i'll let you kick things off as a soccer pun. >> i think it's exciting. if you look at the data every time there's a chance to buy stocks cheap, money comes into the market. you look at this year, equity flows are up significantly, bond flows are not. i think there's a lot better data than the market is being given credit for. >> a lot better data? >> obviously there's a lot of anticipation of what the fed is going to do on wednesday. we've had s

here is the second hour of "the closing bell" now with kelly evans. i'll see you tomorrow, kel. >>> thank you, bill. it's a noisy one in here. welcome to "the closing bell," everybody. i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. here is how we're finishing the day on wall street. it's not the fact that the dow is off by 25 appointments at the close, it's the fact it's off 25 on top of yesterday's more than 330-point decline and the fact we were up this morning 69 points, gave all of that up and then some. the s&p going out with a decline of 4 points 2040. that's the closing level there. the nasdaq off 9 to 4,849. we're 150 points below nasdaq 5,000. that's a level we closed above for the first time in 15 years just last monday. let's bring in today's panel for more as we await key earnings this afternoon. bill smead is in the house. stephanie link from tiaa. great to have you back. and our own steve liesman joining us down here at post nine as well. hello to all of you. with us "fast money" trader tim seymour and cnbc contributor michael yoshikami

i'm kelly evans closing out this week on wall street. an ugly day.ing out with a decline of 278 points. that's good enough for 1.5%. art cashin mentioned some big buy orders into the close. we are off about 300 points. closing slightly below that level but still one of the worst sessions we've had this year. the s&p off 29 points. the nasdaq giving up 55. so after closing above 5,000 on monday for the first time in 15 years, today we've retreated. we close at 4927. here today to talk about all of it wrap things up for us and talk about what happens next our panel. eric chem mi is here from cnbc.com. cnbc contributor and invest net head czarzachary karabell and robert frank and also with the news of apple joining the dow jones industrial average, we have our "fast money" trader tim seymour and jim burnham. john, a big shareholder of apple. one of the few stocks that went higher. it will replace at that time&t in the dow. what does it mean to you, john, as a shareholder? >> all i can say is i think it's about time that apple came in the dow. it's the w

i'm kelly evans to clotionse out this tough week for stocks. >> i'm bill griffeth. what can you say about this week? we itemized it every day, one big up day on monday a big down day on tuesday, quiet on wednesday, big up day yesterday, and today a big down. this is volatility personified. >> the vix right now up to about 16.5. i think we're off 1% on the major indexes. anything could happen in the final hour. the dow is off 220, the s&p is off 20.6 and the nasdaq, that's the one that's off 39 as you can see right there. also keeping an eye on the small caps. flipping through and looking for the names as they get more attention on the valuation here and more and more people want to play these as a way to protect themselves against some of these external currency moves. watch this index for signs of overvaluation or a pull back. >> what's calling the shots today? oil has been continuing to move lower on more evidence of ever higher inventories in this country. we're still just pumping like mad and filling up coffers around the country, so the price of wti crude is no

i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> we're ready to go. i'm bill griffeth.is hump day. happy hump day. as has already been established with many viewers on twitter today, we had the beige book come out a little while ago. all kinds of things going on here. beige book came out at 2:00 eastern time. we'll talk about what it said in a moment. oil prices just took off, but the stock market did not follow suit and we're near the lows of the session. >> it's an important correlation. we've seen weakness in the market when oil prices are moving lower -- hello -- and at the time that was often said, listen this is the wrong interpretation. today we have higher oil prices and a lower stock market. >> we'll take a closer look at what was a formerly red hot group that has recently gone in the tank. we're talking about the utilities. those supposedly safe stocks just about in bear market territory now, and if you watch this show and you read cnbc.com you knew that the fall the decline, was coming. we'll show you why and see if there's stocks are going to bounce back or

i'm kelly evans down here at the new york stock exchange. >> and i'm bill griffeth. a big sell-off right now as brian was just itemizing there for you. a lot of moving parts and pieces going on here as we know. military issues in yemen have served to push oil prices sharply higher today up as much as 4% for both wti crude and brent crude. that has pushed many oil sensitive stocks down sharply. the transports for one are down hard today. you had a sloppy five-year note auction for the treasuries today. that has served to push some yields higher today, so there's been a sell-off in bonds on the long end of the yield curve and so many other things going on. >> you want to talk about some of the data we've gotten. that first quarter gdp number doesn't look that strong and earnings. we have a lot to get to. we've on a watch for a new high on the nasdaq. not happening today. that index is down significantly. it's the russell that's up there right now and not the nasdaq, our old friend on the board over there. interesting change. >> you're right. they did move that. look at

all that coming up on the second hour of "the closing bell" with kelly evans and company. >> thank you, bill. welcome to "closing bell," everybody, i'm kelly evans. what a session on wall street. wow, to kick off the week. a very big day. the dow going out with a begin of 261 points. 1.5%. the nasdaq not too shabby either 25 points and 26 points respectively for the s&p close of about 2086. the nasdaq clawing, trying to claw back towards the 5,000 market, closing at 4947 today. let's talk about that. some of the moves in oil. today's panel joining me now, cnbc contributor dan greenhouse is here from btig. our own kayla tausche and jon fortt. welcome from destination wolf management. and "fast money" trader guy adami, a great group here. i'm glad everybody is with us. dan, is this just a one-day snapback because of a rocky week or manage? what do you think is going on? >> listen we're up two days. a lot is being made that this is the first two-day gain. and however long that's been that's really irrelevant. this was spurred in part on government stimulus as art cashin just t

you had a testy interview with kelly evans. found her tone to be condescending, but you got a lot of flack for shushing her. >> hey, kelly, ssh. calm down a bit. p. >> yeah i did learn you're not supposed to shush people. and a lot of people don't realize, you and i are doing this in the same room which makes for a better interview. but 95%, we're staring to a camera. i can see when you're getting ready to talk, you can see when i'm getting ready to talk and we try to be polite enough. but on tv when you're looking at a camera, it gets frustrating not the to butt in. >> you also betray impatience. >> and i think some people are very good. there are people on television channels who i have no idea what their political bias or background is. they're objective, good, and hardcore. but they don't ask questions that really are simply you can tell are targeted from your political opponents and i'm going to ask him something just to make him mad. but i'm human. i get mad sometimes. and i try to be as even keeled as i can, but sometimes

i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> and i'll bill griffeth. a lot going on. so many moving parts and pieces. also major developments you may have heard in the crash of the germanwings flight 9525. it is now apparent that the co-pilot that we are showing you here as seen in a photo verified by a local german newspaper apparently intentionally took the plane down along with so many of those innocent souls on board. the question is why he did it. that remains a mystery. but it is a mystery that a massive amount of resources are now trying to solve. we will have a live report and tell you what the next steps will be in that investigation. >> meanwhile, after a terrible day for equities yesterday, we have seen stabilization today. this morning the action looked pretty negative. you have a lot of people concerned. it might be three days in a row. we have gone out and looked week. we turned positive within the last hour bill. but the dow currently as you can see there, is down about 30 points. >> the saudi bombing in yemen overnight pushed oil prices sharply higher.

i'm kelly evans. >> i'm bill griffeth. we have a rally. we are setting highs for the days right now. the dow jones industrial and the volatility is back in a big way. up 238 points. now, we had strong bank stocks today because of the stress test last night but weak retail sales this morning. that didn't matter apparently. and intel talking about how companies are not replacing their pcs at a very fast rate anymore. intel is down 4.6%. that's inside the dow. meek mike iscrosoft is suffering as well. >> you could argue that the dow would be doing better if it weren't for that development. at the same time you have a company like disney contributing about 33 points of the gains that we're seeing today. dow is up 1.4% which is outperforming the s&p and nasdaq. there's disney up almost 4%. if nothing else frozen 2 and star wars 8, is it? >> i've lost count. but, yes, a real tug-of-war of sectors that we'll be talking about over the next couple of hours. >> another stock not joining the rally is box. it's getting hammered since its earnings repo

kelly evans has a great story to tell. you know i was partial to frank blake.t's moved a great deal and i think you'll get a moment to be able to buy it more cheaply but i have to tell you, great things don't come cheap. that's an amazing company with a huge buy back and a tremendous commitment to shareholders. it's a volatile market but you know what? the bull is alive and well. at least that's what the charts say. >>> starbucks inked a major deal to deliver your coffee. i'll get the details from postmates. >>> and plus the last lightning round of winter kicks off with all your calls. thank you for the kind words about the staff. stay with us. >>> later this year we're piloting delivery with a leading on demand delivery -- postmates. we believe it will be a great way to leverage the mobile ecosystem i was talking to you about. ♪ >> here on "mad money" trying to stay ahead of the curve and if you want to understand the cutting edge, that means going off the tape. and talking to an incredibly innovative privately held company. yesterday you probably heard that s

. >>> big interview on closing bell, and mark joins kelly evans live with his take on where there mightw with a preview. >> hey, melissa. >> very interesting blog. >> it is. listen, a lot of people are taking issue with it saying how can you possibly compare, even what excesses and egregious processes with the dotcom bubble in '99. >> exactly. and also his point about there being no liquidity but overvaluation, and that is worse than a market that is overvalued with liquidity. if a bubble is a bubble but it doesn't burst, because there's no liquidity, than is it really a bubble or is it just an overvaluation that will eventually work out gradually on its own? >> or if a tree falls in the 1% forest, does it matter to the 99%? that is the question hanging over this. it's like look if you have people investing in these companies and they have to be accredited investors and there's a certain threshold and it's not as high proportion as americans as it was last go around. okay, even if they're making poor decisions and a lot of these investments don't bear out and may be worthless, what exte

what's kelly evans doing in vegas? i see the home depot sign, she's doing her job.> stock hasn't really tested its 50-day since october. >> i had -- my charitable trust -- we go back and forth, lowe's is doing well too. the greatest gasoline stories and the dotcom, wrong to call it dot, but fantastic. i don't foe whether you've been to home depot lately i always say i get my flats at home depot. i behalf at home depot, and half at union square i buy the varieties. one year they didn't he sent me seeds. >> seeds. >> i love that guy! that guy has such game. looks like he's got game too. >> the market has a little bit of game this morning. mary thompson on the floor. >> big volume on this quadruple witching friday. volume here at new york stock exchange 334 million. you don't see volumes like that on a typical day until 11:00 or 12:00. ahead of schedule because of the quadruple witch on friday. upward trend in place. nasdaq above 5000. s&p above 2100. dow up triple digits. weakness in the vix. treasury yields are low somewhere so too is the dollar. that's a continuing

maybe we get a word about intel and altera coming up on the second hour of "the closing bell" with kelly evansme to "the closing bell," everybody. to close out this week i'm kelly evans and let's begin with how we closed out the session on wall street. janet yellen, the fed chair, is continuing to speak in san francisco. those comments hitting the wire at about 3:45. we saw some action right before during, and, of course, after that. we're going out with the dow seeing a gain of 31 points slightly above the 17,700 mark today. the s&p adding just under 5, to 2,060. the nasdaq by far the outperformer on the session. we'll talk about a big deal that looks like it's happening in the chip space there in a moment. the composite up 27 points to 4,891. joining me now is michael santoli from yahoo! finance, mark la pressie, and robert frank. also with me is "fast money" trader tim seymour. we begin with dominic chu. dom, you can tell us just what has happened with equities and a pretty volatile and strange week for us. >> it has been very much an eventful one for a lot of traders out there because we h

i'm sara eisen in today for kelly evans.e're finishing a pretty strong day on wall street after a sharp sell-off and particularly on friday. the dow closing just below the 18,000 mark, good for a gain of about 137 points as it settles down. the s&p 500 up 0.4%. 8 points. and the nasdaq was lagging all day, managed to close higher 0.3 of a percent. we have walter isaacson from the aspen institute, author of "the innovators." also wrote the definitive biography on the late steve jobs, a true expert on apple. also with us another expert on apple, jon fortt is here. with more on today's market action we have michael block, "fast money" trader guy adami. we want to talk about what we saw on the markets today but first, walter everyone wants to know what the verdict from you is on today's apple event? >> i'm no expert on these new products but apple for 30 years has always been creating objects of desire objects of beauty objects that are very intimate and personal and this is the ultimate in that. it really does make it something

i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> and i'm bill griffin.? today it's going out like a bull that's for sure. at least on the second to the last day of the month of march for the first quarter. stocks off to the races right from the get-go this morning there was no question that this would be a rally day from the open. and we have held on to those gains, up about 290 points right now. >> sometimes we have days where we start one way and gradually move higher or lower or we're all over the place. today it looks like a plateau. we jumped up right at the start.

i'm kelly evans. what a session it turned out to be after that fed meeting.ow we're finishing up the day on wall street looking see if the nasdaq might close above 5,000. we didn't get there on the close but we still saw that index up 45 points or almost 1%. better than 1% gain for the s&p and for the dow. finishing higher by 25 points and 223 points respectively. the dow closing back above 18,000. the s&p couldn't quite retake 2,100. again, a vastly different session after that meeting, after janet yellen's comments today than what we walked in with this morning and it's the u.s. dollar in particular we got to talk about. weaker. the u.s. treasuries at the same time that yield also moving lower. oil is up all sorts of things are going on. let's bring in today's panel to sort through all of it. joining me at post nine cnbc senior contributor, larry kudlow sara eisen and nathan bacharach from simply money. for more is greg ip from "the wall street journal" and steve grasso will join us momentarily. nathan, your gut response to what we've seen? >> so many comme

i'm kelly evans on this monday which could be a historic one. maybe it already has been down here at the new york stock exchange. >> took 15 years but the nasdaq finally did top the 5,000 mark although it's trading below that level right now. it was a milestone kind of a day and we've been waiting and waiting and there was that slow creep to get there. >> we're only four points away from it now. we'll see if we make another go to close above that level. and we're going to get the outlook for stocks in general with famed hedge fund manager stanley druckenmiller. he's been shorting ibm for whitequite a while. we touch on a wide range of issues. >> i bet talking a little bit about the fed. >> auto little bit little bit. >> you don't hear from him that often so it's even better. take a look at the markets. dow is up by 122 points. there's the nasdaq as kelly said, about 4.5 points back below the 5,000 level, but it was a historic day earlier in the day over at the nasdaq and that's where we see it is right now. the s&p 500 is up just shy of nine poi

. >> i'm michelle caruso-cabrera in today for kelly evans. we continue to keep a close eye on the nasdaq moving in and out of positive territory today within striking distance still though of that all-time high set more than 15 years ago. >> just think, i think you and i were doing "power lunch" when it hit that all-time high at that time. >> do you remember pets.com the craziness that was. that was fun. >> but are we at that crazy level again? doesn't feel like it. >> it doesn't feel like that. the valuations aren't the same. we're not talking about eyeballs anymore. we're talking about real revenue revenue. >> we have a controversial story on cnbc.com today. the headline reads is the 401(k) experiment a failure? first we didn't know it was an experiment but we will get to that a little bit later. the writer of that piece on cnbc.com says that the facts add up to an "f" for 401(k) retirement plans. we've heard from many of you on twitter as you respond to that article, but the author kelly holland, will be with us to back up that story and w

i'm sara eisen in for kelly evans. this up and down market continues, and today up in a big way with the dow up more than 200 points. the index we're watching the closest though right now would be the nasdaq making a play to close at a new all-time high. the magic number you want to watch going into the close today, 5,048.62. that was the close on march 10th, 2000, more than 15 years ago. it would be a record. unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable to wait that long to come back to an all-time high. and let's all remember the last time we were there in 2000 we felt like we were at mt. everest at that time because it had gone straight up. >> and it didn't take very long for it to come plunging back down to earth although this time is different. a lot of people looking at the valuations and a number of reasons. we'll talk about then and now. also something to note heading into the close, quadruple witching. the expiration of four different options contracts to make for a bumpy ride and exciting and higher volume ride into t

kelly evans had a great interview and i think jim cramer had a great follow-up saying maybe they're notdy for prime time. and as great as your quarter might think it is. if the stock is down 12% on the back of it, it wasn't all that good. >> i would completely agree. this is the is the nothing to do with share count. not only that, as we talked about last night, this wasn't a surprise to them. you knew that the estimates were wrong. so why wouldn't you go out and attempt to fix that ahead of time? to me that shows an issue with management and guidance going forward is terrible. so i stay away. >> we talked it in this name and relative to others. this is a massively commoditized speculate space here is a company that has come to market here. they're a small player. they're going up against behemoths here. very soon, you're going to see the big guys turn the screws on it. that guidance could continue to get worse. >>> still ahead, a car that could possibly talk to other cars and interpret weather forecasts? it might be closer than you think. the company behind this technology, after the b

. >> carl quintanilla and jon fortt are out but joining me for the hour the one and only kelly evans.> i love it. >> great to have you. always so fun when the two of us get to host together. >> yeah. >> apple set to replace at&t in the dow jones industrials after the close on march 18th. apple has a massive market cap but share price is still lower than other dow components like ibm, 3m boeing and goldman sachs. the dow is a price weighted index. shares of apple rallying higher on the news this morning, up by about 1.7%. kara, the -- apple has been leading the nasdaq higher for years at this point. what does says to you that now the blue chip average will be including apple? >> i think that's important. one of the most important companies in our world in the global environment and so it belongs there and it's -- you know, it's probably the leading company in our country in terms of profits and everything else. it deserves to be there. >> people will look at this like they do with the skyscraper index and say by the time we finally added it to the down all the gains are in, it's going

i'm kelly evans.sometimes we've been calling it turnaround tuesday, maybe that's the case today for the u.s. dollar. we're going to talk about that in a second. here is how we're finishing up a weak session. the dow going out with additional selling pressure at the close recording a drop of 103 points. back down right towards that 18,000 level, off half a percent. the s&p giving up 12 points. the nasdaq closing down 16 retreating back below 5,000 to 4,994. let's bring in today's panel to talk about it and what direction this market is headed with our very own sharon epperson dan greenhouse and tay lakayla tausche and "fast money" trader tim seymour. dan, let me start with you. a pretty weak session today and i point to some of the market coverage. nobody seems to have a clue or can quite figure out this direction and what the next leg is. >> a lot of the weakness today came about later in the day. we had a fairly strong start to the morning and then some of the insurers started moving lower. this is a

i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange where the week, bill, is starting in rally mode. >> i'mand the economy. it's never predictable. it's like trying to pick a winner march madness. >> very good. >> you saw what i did there with the braksckets all picked. >> uva. >> i wasn't going to mention your pick but you just did. oil was sharply lower, and lately when that happened stocks would be sharply lower. we're at a six-year low on wti crude but the dow is up 232 points. >> go figure that one out.

. >> and i'm sara eisen in for kelly evans. all about apple and the stock market rally.ting back some of the steep losses from friday and the dow is strongly outperforming other indices right now. we've got industrials and financials in the lead. that's bullish. energy is lagging behind. >> which would be just the opposite of friday when financials were more concerned that the fed was going to start raising rates, down they went. now we're coming back. so we've got a bit of a bounce from friday. interesting activity for apple today. it was up about $3 at one
