joining us now, liz ann sonders, chief investment strategist at charles schwab. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> jobs numbers were better than expected, 248,000, unemployment rate falling to 5.9%. what does it tell you? >>9=q1 a good number. a bit of a goldilocks numbers because one of the eternals of the number that could have potentially caused problems is if there was a big pickup in wages, thinking about inflation and fedf'm policy, so kind of a good as it gets and some of the reason for the decline in the unemployment rate was separate from labor force participation, which some see as a negative reason the unemployment rate's coming down. a lot of people found work and a lot less people were unemployed. it was pretty good. unemployment claims have been telling you we've got strong numbers and a nice upwardgua revision to august numbers, too, i think that re-enforces the idea august was an aberration. >> these may have been goldilocks numbers, but the markets seem to have been much more volatile, there's a lot more nerves coming from invest

what do you expect the fed to say on wednesday, liz ann? do we get hints and talking about liftoff some day and they start to raise interest rates. what is your guest s on that? >> i think they'll end quantitative easing. i don't know that we're as obsessed with that considerable time duo of words that we were last time. >> unlike the market. >> i think, you know, that's going to be of interest, whether they drop that. you start to game what that means from a time period perspective. but the fed is truly data dependent. i think sometimes i listen to investors who feel like the fed has a preconceived motion and just deciding when and how to share that with us. i think the moves will be a function of the data and picking up significantly between now and, say, the first part of next year, i think they guide sooner. obviously vice versa if the data weakens. >> have you waited in line for $3 gasoline here yet? >> you guys in connecticut are paying -- >> yeah. no lines yet here in connecticut. sadly. >> okay. good to see you. >> good to see you,

joining us right now is chief investment strategist and, liz anne, thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> the jobs numbers were better than a lot of people had been expecting. 248,000. unemployment rate falling to 5.9%. what does that tell you? >> it's a good number. one of the internals of the number that could have potentially caused some problem is if there was a big pick-up in wages. so it was kind of as good as it gets. and some of the reason for the decline in the unemployment rate was separate from labor force appreciation. a lot of people found work and a lot of less people were unemployed. when you look at unemployment claims, which is the leading indicator for jobs, they've been telling you we've got strong numbers. and then with the nice upward revision to august's numbers, that was a bit of an aberration. >> the markets seem to have been much more volatile. there's a lot more nerves coming from investors. are they right to be nervous? what do you think when dips like this happen? >> as you know, we've been very optimistic for this entire bull market

. >> let's get some perspective now from liz ann saunders. of the fact it's october. i want to let you know that. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. and what is it? the old expression, it's not a crisis, it's an opportunity. that's what october has been many times. it's been scary. before you get to a bottom, you're selling off. >> you can play around with these numbers a lot. it's interesting that strong first days of october have bode very well for the rest of the year. we've never not had a strong quarter in the lame duck midterm election year. so you can find lots of reasons to be optimistic. we haven't had had the correction you tend to do. in fact, in the post world war ii era the average is 18%. i don't think we get that between now and november. so i think the kind of action that we have seen recently where you get mid-single digit peak to trough then the buyers step back in is probably the environment we're in, the context of a bull market that is certainly not dead. >> is there weird -- so many strange statistics. just look at all mid

liz: dr. anne rimoin says you don't have to get off the car on the subway and move cars.just back from the congo, we appreciate you being here. full disclosure, she's my sister-in-law to be. i'm very excited about that. obviously very smart woman. closing bell ringing in 39 minutes. big ben or in this case cranky ben. we'll discuss whether the government gave aig an offer they couldn't refuse. charlie has the scoop coming up next. it was a slippery slope for ski reuters, but there was a snowball fight that ended amicably. we speak to the ceo and chairman rob about how he has now enveloped in warm arms park city as part of his family -- for investors and skiers for the rest of the year. we'll find out. [music] liz: an alert for alibaba. take a look down. it's not the biggest clip here. 3 percent, but earlier today they did touch a new all-time low of 8524. right now we're at yeet $6 and 22 cents. it was three weeks ago that alibaba that chinese market company made its market deb u. maybe it -- after its ipo where it did really well and then it pulled back. but we'll see. a

i was listening to a -- read an article liz ann saunders was in and basically said that cap x is at -- fixed asset investment is at 50-year highs, that's not good. the age of our investments is way too long. and the -- we need to basically come back from that. so, we are starting to see cap x pick up. we have seen quarter over quarter real cap x growth about 10% and that's good more the technology sector. it's good for the industrial sector, because that's where cap x dollars tend to flow. >> capital expenditures that boost the economy and the technology sector most beneficial as it had in q three going forward. >> sharon stark, the fixed income strategist, what do you think refresh yields will do this quarter as the fed wraps up its quantitative easing program, presumably? >> looking for yields to creep up slowly, perhaps be at 270 to 275 by the end of the year. but you know, as rick said earlier, there's a lot of money flowing into the united states because fundamentally, our economy is stronger, frankly, the strength of the dollar helps as well. we also saw some short covering goin

anne makovec. >> it's obvious. not lawrence. we know that. [ laughter ] >> we know lizas a big gift wrapped box last week. >> it wasn't her. >> anne looks so cute. we want to see your photos, too. send us your pictures at kpix.com/halloween. upload your photos and we'll show some of them on halloween. >> it's going to rain on halloween. that's not fair. >> all right, liz. how are you? >> i'm fine. how are you, frank? >> good. [ laughter ] >>> let's talk about the commute. they have late running roadwork on 880 for two hours now. it was about two hours late to wrap up on southbound 880 approaching dixon landing. and we are still seeing those slowdowns from fremont to milpitas. all lanes are open. got a slow start right now and it's even sluggish from 237. it looks that way from at least 880 to zanker road and that's why the drive time is up to 11 minutes for that commute. here's a live look through the livermore valley. westbound it is definitely a bottleneck in those westbound lanes approaching vasco. 36 minutes from the altamont pass to the dublin interchange. better i

liz. >>> a potentially deadly disease hitting children in a number of states has shown up in the bay area. kpix 5's anne makovec joins us from children's hospital oakland where three patients are being treated. anne. >> reporter: there are a lot of patient privacy rules at play here but from what we understand there are still two children from alameda county being treated here at children's hospital. another patient is released. enterovirus d-68 has infected more than 500 children across the u.s. symptoms are similar to the common cold. but it can hit harder in combination with other conditions like asthma. four children who contracted it have ended up dying although it's unclear what role the virus played. more than a dozen others have experienced acute muscle weakness of similar to polio. doctors are still researching whether or not they are connected. >> all of them can mutate and do quite regularly. but will it become something that's going to cause somewhat of an epidemic or pandemic? probably unlikely. >> reporter: the latest case of partial paralysis is in san diego. doctors aren't releasing any

anne makovec, kpix 5. >> it's an even year and we talked about this 2010, 2012, 2014. >> here you go! >> let's talk to liz about sports now. shall we? [ laughter ] >>> i'm the only one to went to bed early. [ laughter ] >> oh, well. >> i read about it on twitter this morning. all right. and saw it on the news here! let's go outside. so a lot of folks were watching the game tonight and were sleeping in because it took a while for things to get going over at the bay bridge toll plaza. but they had officially begun now the commute is officially begun and the metering lights are on, as well. they have been on now for about 20 minutes so you are stacked up to the foot of the maze. not too many accidents this morning. it's relatively quiet. but still blocking one lane southbound 680 at andrade coming through the sunol grade sluggish now because one lane is blocked and the usual commuter traffic is beginning to pick up. san mateo bridge also still moving fine at the speed limit out of hayward into the peninsula. another check of the foggy forecast. i didn't see the fog but knee its there. [ laughter ] >> you wer

liz. >>> the giants could have another world championship by the time the weekend is over. >> yeah. they need to sweep three games against the royals to do that. so get the brooms out. kpix 5's anne makovec is at at&t park in san francisco, site of game 3 tonight. >> reporter: it is a different scene here than what we'll see just a few hours from now. but the field here at at&t park is very well manicured, ready for the world stage, world series, 2014. the first pitch 5:07 p.m. here's a look from chopper 5 at the giants arriving home from kansas city yesterday. buses took them from the airport to at&t park where they held practice in advance of tonight's big game. this was the celebration at pier 27 last night over the world series gala. the skies lit up over san francisco's waterfront as executives from both the giants and the royals gathered for a big party. and back here at the park yesterday, police and bomb- sniffing dogs spent the day making sure everything is safe and secure for game 3. speaking of, there are metal detectors lined up right now at the entrances of the park. fans will have to pass through those metal detectors as they get their tickets scanned. anybody who d
