market looks like it's on the mend. you're going to have some significant energy favored shifts over the next six or eight months. it's going to continue to help the economy mend. and in a noninflationary slow-growth market, where's the fear? where's the rally? i mean, i like the long side of the market usually, but after this last 18 months, 2 years, you have to go where the market says it wants to go. that is lower. >> elevated down to $900 an ounce. fran frank, thank you very much. >> always a pleasure. >>> another big story we're following today, target. it is at the center of one of the biggest breaches in consumer data in u.s. history. it's a story that impacts millions of americans, and it could have huge impact on the safety of your money. mary thompson has been working the story all day. what do we know at this hour, mary? >> what we know right now is that up to 40 million target customers could be impacted. the data breach occurred over a 19-day period from wednesday, november 27th, through sunday, december 15

washington political dysfunction has hit a high and i actually think that's going to start mending a touch. you are actually seeing signs of a 2 year budget deal which i think would be helpful for small business owners looking to hire. > >republicans and democrats are both saying that they're moving forward on something. it may not be a big deal but it may be something that they can both pass. > >and it doesn't have to be. the that has held back small business hiring which is now starting to show signs of increasing was the fact that they didn't know what the rules were going to be. so if you look at what they were pointing to as their biggest problem and the reason why they didn't expand, it was becoming more and more government related. 34% of small business owners said that was why they weren't expanding. that was basically zero back in 2009. they're not citing the economy much anymore and so i thnk going forward you're actually going to start seeing hiring. > >ok, i'm writing it all down so we can hold your feet to this next year. > >it's all on the internet unfortunately. > >bre
