bob pisani at the nyse and rick santelli joins us from chicago. bob, what's keeping us higher in markets today? are traders taking the glass half full view? >> yesterday we were run on not a lot of news. the bottom line, this is still the best place in the world to put money for the moment. earnings are still increasing although we still have hiccups, disappointment in retail is there. same thing happened again today. s&p 500 on the upside. i would note that futures moved earlier in the morning when vladimir putin gave a speech in crimea where it was viewed as somewhat conciliatory. futures moved up on that. we've been running on that all throughout the morning. let me show you, really tough times on a couple of things. besides disappointments with walmart, noodles and company, red robin, these are not mistakes, down almost 20%, both of them. disappointing earnings. but specifically talking about higher food costs as well. inflation starting to eat into the margins of some of these companies. we've seen it before with some of the pizza companies a

. >> the general feel from the floor here at the nyse is that we didn't really hear that much difference about the prospect for future interest rate actions. that's why the muted response to the market. we did see a small pop right around the start of her comments but now we're just hovering right around, we'll call it marginally lower for the session in the four major ey indices. the relative out performers are in health care, technology, and financials. those three sectors among some of the better gainers at least on a relative basis so far today. telecom and energy stocks are among the lagging sectors. if you're looking to where the action is those are the sections to watch. quick check on gold which we'll call it slightly positive. up half a percent on the day. prices slid well over a week now at this point. so a nice little break here for those goldle traders seeing upside trade. if the labor market still has signs of weakness, maybe interest rate hikes are not eminent and that's pretty much what's helping the gold rally marginally today. stock fan, keurig green mountain, up 15% on

take a look at the volume at the nyse for ten years.he old days, 2004, january 2004, we did 2 billion shares a day on average in the month of january 2004. thanks to the move to electronic trading, by may of 2000, we went from 2 billion shares, then the financial crisis hit, the other factor, driving volume through the roof, 2008, 7 billion shares a day, and from there it dropped because the financial crisis abated. may 2011 3 .2 billion, and now back to 2004 volume. the point is this may be a secular decline that it was the move to lek tropic trading and high frequency trading and financial crisis creating a big move up, a bubble essentially in the volume, and we've moved back. what do you need for volume to be back? more volatility. looking at the vix, we're not getting that now, and it would take a lot to get volume up here. i say the vix has to go double, has to go to 25 and stay there on a sustained level to get significant moves up, really significant moves up in volume, all that does that, vix at 25 for a long time would be notab
