and then there is peabody energy. it was recommended to buy coal stocks aggressively because of the chart. i have been and remain conservative. it could be crushed by president obama. china is the growth market for peabody. big coal company. closed $29.28. it's been a remarkable run. the weirdest rally is tech. we have seen so many disappointments in tech, we forget how much of tech goes into china. huge market. so let's just say it was enough to reverse the trend of all of those stocks. they moved higher. it was as if they reported better, not worse than expected earnings. china provided the change at the margin to make this rally happen. china, not the u.s., which everyone knows is okay, and europe is getting much worse. when you get a number that breaks the fall of a huge economy like the one we got from china i i read about in zucotti park this morning, it spells growth. that's what we got. in return, so many of the industrial and tech stocks that had looked like ugly ducklings turned into beautiful swans -- white

i spent years going through museum collections and opening up drawers in the basement of the peabody and the american museum of natural history where you are going through masses of artifacts, the striking black on white pottery of the anastazi, what is in this place? but the granary was not mine to open, it was left by other people, a stockpile waiting for their return. as i understand more of the anastazi, it is hard to say they ever truly vanished. the more i track them, it more it seems they are right in front of me until i can feel body heat in their foot steps. it is not unthinkable that somebody might return to this granary, maybe a century from now, relieved to find a sign of ancestry deep in this river gorge. i climbed down to this granary and laid my hand on its stone, feeling the grit of sand and the hardness of rock. a person could be found here in a thousand years, a person kneeling in the moment of decision. i climbed out and went back to my career, the obsidian night closing around me. i climbed into the canoe and swept the paddle across the water, setting a wake acros

peabody was the best performer. this all begin to happen in the first debate. then the president tried to get in on the bandwagon as well. no matter who wins, they will be pushing coal harder than it has been over the last four years. that is a big boost. liz: and finally steal stocks. they responded to strong data. then we have data in china that help this sector. we had sales dynamics and u.s. steel, of course, as well. david: not a bad day at all. when the bell rings, the action really begins. we are just moments away from big releases. we have starbucks, linkedin and did we mention dreamworks. the stock is up more than 20%. liz: the third-quarter income more than quadrupled since last year. no wonder tupperware cannot contain its excitement. how are they doing as the ceo of tupperware joins us in a fox business exclusive. david: a tupperware party right here on after the bell. we will tell you what drove the market today. stocks pushing higher to date with all industries rally. materials, technology and industrials for two days top performers. utilities did

that's why you should buy peabody, arch and aep real fast.f you actually think that romney is going to win. then you can expect that we'll immediately exploit federal lands for more drilling, which is a reason to buy halliburton and schlumberger. it won't mean as much to them. the natural gas stocks, i think they'll actually rally quickly under the perception that romney will go less solar and less electric battery. if they have to embrace natural gas engines, it's not going to matter, people. people want it to matter, but it won't. you need demand to put up the huge number of nat gas fueling stations and only the government can provide that initial demand whether the private sector people like it or not. private industry can't afford to do it. i've been championing this issue for so long. trust me, we know that obama with a super green reputation pays lip service to fossil fuels. i believe romney wants to encourage natural gas as an alternative gasoline to lower the price at the pump, even though what he hasn't said the way to do it is to ha
