nicole petallides standing by. stocks are losing sseam as house speaker john boehner took the podium although they have recovered a bit. nicole: is difficult to monitor which way and guess which way the market will go as each headline process crosses, we'reg the market being started around the unchanged line. and then you have people saying how the white house has had a change of tune. this is the type of environment we are in. as far as the big pitcher goes, the market is showing some resiliency considering we have had weeks after weeks of worries on the fiscal cliff, and yet we're still pulling off some up arrows. take a look at cold and macy's. both have come under some pressure. noting hurricane sandy, macy's same-store sales fell, also mentioned sandy as well. kohl's down 10%. lori: thank you, nicole. an upward revision appeared tonight, but our next guest expects growth to decline for the fourth quarter. deutsche bank security nominee with his outlook for next year, and if we get to it, some expectations on co

nicole petallides is on the exchange, utilities we are covering. nicole: don't know but i am happy to talk about utilities. one to talk about would be the x bill you focusing on utilities. utilities were certainly directly correlated to the elections. what we saw was utilities had been running up over the last six months and peak in october going into november and once the election took place, the current administration has plans and the fiscal cliff is upon us that we are going to see dividend paying stocks and end cap gains being taxed at higher rates utilities have been out of favor and the x bellevue has fallen but it could be an up arrow melissa: thank you. [talking over each other] lori: what you doing over there? melissa: like to put it up here. lori: in a bottle or snake oil? melissa: a new drink pepsi is launching a which is a fat blocker or whatever. look how the dollar is faring today as we head to break. you can see it is weaker against the euro. we will be right back. >> 20 minutes past the hour your fox news minute. pentagon officials

connell: let's go back to nicole petallides as we do every 15 minutes. fany's is having a tough day. nicole: that is right. they have lowered their sales numbers and outlook. asia has been weak. here is a look at stock. it is down about 7%. they have come under pressure and then disappointing. the one area of tiffany, the silver department that even that has seen it. this luxury retailer has come under pressure. the dow jones industrials up 40 points. we are seeing the drug and bank stocks doing really well. most of the dow components have been in the green all morning long. back to you. dagen: thank you so much. this countries economy is growing, but not so fast. and increase of 2.7%. up from the first reading of just 2%. if taxes go off at the end of the year, even if just for some americans, then what? we have scott minerd on with us now. scott, then what? >> everyone talks about the fiscal cliff. i referred to it as the fiscal speedbump. no matter what happens, we are not going to revert a tax increase in some kind of drag on economic activity next ye

nicole petallides is standing by. nicole: there is so much to watch. you will see our reporter. he was wearing a helmet. oil is on the rise. we are watching the fiscal cliff so closely. everyone has heard about this. they will be working together. it is sort of saying this silver lining is in sight and that gave us a boost here on wall street. 12,471. our heart of the day was 12,602. not far off from yesterday's. you are seeing some financials here. they are trying to move along. jpmorgan was in the red earlier today. bank of america. some of the financials are still in the red. citigroup, goldman sachs, case-by-case. it is not a blanket of of arrows across the board. it still remains. it is something they have to contend with sooner than later. melissa: breaking news right now. the fire is now out at the offshore oil platform. that is in the gulf of mexico. there was an explosion just after 9:00 a.m. eastern. it was about 20 miles off the coast of louisiana. at this time, the coast guard, look at that, the coast guard cannot confirm any deaths. two people are missing and nine p

nicole petallides, 4 of the stock exchange, tough earnings competition today. nicole: we are looking at two retailers, wal-mart, dow component has been under significant pressure, at one point pulling the dow down 25 points. you see walmart with the down arrow. they came out with numbers where sales were low analyst estimates, not only in the states but also global picture for walmart and as a result that is the big loser. target on the other hand, increasing 4% and sales are on the rise and it has been coming from people coming in and buying more when they are in target. tied it has cards they have been pushing, debit cards and credit cards and you are seeing target as a winner up 1.5%. a tale of two names. target a winner and walmart on the dow and the s&p, 500. i like how you got john cortines ready for next week. [talking over each other] nicole: it was great. i enjoyed that he liked that. liz: they all want to play hamlet. nicole: i like putting him to the test. liz: we love john. russia announced it is growing at the slowest pace it has seen in three years

nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange with more. nicole: higher taxes are something to mull over. a lot of people on wall street have postelection blues, and now fiscal cliff blues. look at the major market averages down 81-point head of the president's speech, the tech heavy nasdaq has moved into correction territory. let's take a look at two retailers. abercrombie and fitch and theirr aeropostel. they had strong sales abroad, strong margins. talk about the u.s. with healthy growth outlook there as well. and they look at aeropostle. they bought the online retailer would've just went onto from where our self with it. back to you. the one breaking news. melissa: house subcommittee reports blaming the corzine position in the blast, headlines hitting right now. the representative choice sealed mf global faith. house republicans say mf global failed report. who better to break the news then charlie gasparino. >> i just sent everybody an e-mail. i have not read the report yet, it just came out. i did a lot of reporting under investigation

our own nicole petallides is standing by. nicole, dow right near session lows right now after bernanke's speech. nicole: that's right. so ben bernanke our fed head comes on and obviously doesn't say a lot of great things. on the contrary he shows concern about unemployment housing bank lending. you put that all together and that certainly weighed on this market. you can see the dow right now is down over 1/2 of 1%, much like the nasdaq and s&p 500. so we are seeing for example drug stocks are pulling back. we watch energy pulling back as well as a cease-fire has been established over in the middle east. we have watched oil pull back. but certainly ben bernanke and not being optimistic there weighed on our markets. back to you. >> nicole thank you very much. >> speaking of the middle east, secretary of state hillary clinton is headed to jerusalem ramallah and cairo to help hopefully calm tensions in the region. her trip comes as a senior hamas official says no cease-fire deal with israel is in place but an agreement is close. h

connell: stocks now with the cult of -- nicole petallides. nicole: so far, so good. day two of trading after hurricane sandy hits the eastern seaboard. names like home depot and lowe's have been doing well on the heels of everybody rushing to get things to clean up after the hurricane hit. also, there was separation as well. the immediate impact of sandy is quite significant, trucking volumes and that will take time for a to get back to normal. the more people over the last year or so. hell shire posted solid topline during the latest quarter. connell: it was an absolute commuting nightmare. take a look at the gas lines. this is similar in many areas. miles long. people waiting for hours following hurricane sandy to fill up their car. let's bring in tom kloza. >> this is all about the power. once the power comes back, people will get their fuel. connell: it is not as if in a normal situation we would have any supply issues. you definitely have a lot of demand for gasoline. power is a big-time issue. does it have any impact on market dynamics and pricing? >> i think a

nicole petallides with the stocks every 15 minutes. nicole: connell and dagen, this is a rough day on wall street. down more than 2%. all 30 dow components in the red. see how they're tough with financials, when you look at aerospace and defense, they are to the downside. how about health insurers, coal, this is not the romney administration. we are seeing from sector to sector the selloff in wall street. back to you. connell: thank you, now watch this. >> you elected us to focus on your job, not ours. in the coming weeks and months we're looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. we have more work to do. dagen: that was president obama during his victory speech last night stressed the need for bipartisanship. connell: former managing director at bain capital and author of unintended consequences. a friend of mitt romney's, the polls were right,

nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. we are holding on to triple digits just barely though here. tell us what looks good right now. nicole: there's a lot to talk about. number one, you are making me want another great cup of coffee. let's talk about what we're seeing here. the dow jones industrials are doing incredibly well on the first trading day of november, where we're up 107 points. the other thing we should note is that volume is heavier than normal. that's a good sign of conviction for the bulls out there. and take a look at these retailers. when you look at names like abercrombie & fitch, also buckle, another winner, urban outfitters, we have gotten in some retail sales numbers. these are some retailers doing well in the group overall, we are seeing mostly up arrows across the board. only utilities have been a little bit weak. the question is how sandy may affect not only retailers but all industries across the board as we start to get numbers as they come out in the future. nordstrom's for example, noted that the

liz: let's go to nicole petallides. better than expected jobs report. raitors impressed with the numbers? nicole: when you hear all the experts talk about the facts of rate of growth we are seeing, it will take nine or ten years to get back to normal levels for an appointment. that certainly does not make you feel like you should be fine this market on the contrary. short-term selling going on right now. david: look at what happened to apple. the last time i looked it was down $21. over 3% loss in just one day. 3.5% off now. nicole: it is very interesting. it looked as if it was going higher. i solved the lines for the ipad many. today, it is selling into the close. liz: energy one of the worst performing sectors today. we have natural gas significantly lower. what are the names behind all of that? nicole: i would certainly put chevron and chesapeake in there. they both came out with numbers and earnings. we are not seeing production from chevron. they did not meet the streets. most of the energy names came under pressure. david: we are focusing on oil.

as the market continues to rally, let's go to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange to see what's moving. nicole? nicole: all i can say is so much green on the screen as these guys are getting ready for market on close orders. they are discussing just the fact we have seen so much buying. the last few minutes of trading are so key to see whether or not we hold the gains we have sustained here today. the dow jones industrials up 177 points. take a look at some most actively traded stocks here, bank of america, pfizer, nokia, those are some of your best performers today. they are certainly the most heavily traded names here on wall street. apple which is up over 30 bucks. lowe's talked about same-store sales once again and they beat the street and raised their forecast, right? and we got in some good housing numbers, all of this put together, don't forget we sold off 7 of the last 9 trading weeks, so everybody talks about oversold market, 90% down day, opportunities for buying, the bounceback. well, here's the bounceback for you, folks. right now you can see we have al

nicole petallides, that goes for most of the broader market. you know, i'm looking here, we do have nasdaq, s&p, russell 2000, dow jones industrials all moving higher. nicole: it is an exciting day on wall street, regardless of how far you are off the unchanged line. you want to know what's leading, what's hot, what's not. in this particular case, i'm keeping a close eye on the home security company, brinks. many of you have seen the commercials, maybe you have a brinks security at home. there it is right now, up 6% today. you have a key shareholder, shamrock holdings which urged the company to consider selling itself; right, so the president stanley gold actually sent a let tore the board of directors -- setter to the board of directors and said listen, it's been five years -- i mean he really gave it to them and basically said hey brinks you better consider some strategic alternatives now. and so with that we see the stock getting a nice pop. back to you. liz: thank you, nicole. let me give you a little feel of how some people in the new york

nicole petallides, a bit of behavior the stock is having today. nicole: it is true, it gives the opportunity for insiders to sell if they were in on the ipo or the original shares they have the opportunity to get out. it turns out they're not really getting out. on the contrary, double-digit gains, a great day for facebook, the same day the chief financial officer of the zynga is going over to facebook. that is a winner when you talk about names like farmville and draw something. both are doing extremely well. particularly on a day the dow was down at least 160 points. back to you. liz: am i going to get blamed for this? we will see what we can do in the next about 43 minutes. facing a slowdown at home, china is busy staffing of companies in the united states on track to set a new record, gigantic whale of an asset. so how can investors play the downturn in china? managing director wrote this report, it is interesting because it is so reminiscent of the japanese in the 80s. the difference is there is time back in, china is slowing down but resource
