the investors have a problem focusing on the asset prices, because as marty feldstein said, they haveome down the long way. mention the fed targeting asset prices and the danger of folks becoming seen asd, but houses extremely safe. oil and energy investments have not ever been seen as safe. you think the leverage is not built up as much? >> it is risky to the individual balance sheet. clearly, the u.s. economy is not as leverage to the price of oil as to the price of houses, given two thirds of the economy's consumption is coming from the housing sector. for the individual balance sheet's, it is the same dynamic. scarlet: thank you for joining us today. alix: j.p. morgan kicking off bank earnings season. we will hear what the ceo had to say about the dramatic price drop in oil and gas. ♪ scarlet: goldman sachs reached an agreement to resolve ongoing investigation of its securities earningsroup, reducing by one point $5 billion on and after-tax basis. will be making $875 million in cash payments, the resting consumer relief.
