rick tyler? where is candidate gingrich in the trajectory of this race?ing the end of his involvement in it? >> everything i read says he's going to tampa, so i take him at his word. >> is that a good thing for the party? >> i don't know. i mean, i'm back and forth between it's a good thing for the party for the moderated to one again the establishment put a moderate in, to lose, like they did with ford over reagan with bob dole, clinton and then mccain we get obama. now they want -- now they say, no, new york mitt romney, he's the guy. no he's in a long line of guys in the establishment and we lose. that is good for the party, no. >> okay. a wonder what you make of herman cain saying, earlier, let's listen to what he said, actually. >> to newt gingrich i would say, speaker gingrich, wit all due respect, let's get on this with okay? you made a great run. i endorsed newt gingrich at one point because i thought he had a shot. well, not now, he doesn't have a shot. >> that's herman cain, doubling back on his endorsement. >> i'm sure that hurt. >> did that hu

joining us is rick tyler, a former newt gingrich spokesman that advices the super pac winning our futurea little taller than you think. >> my apologies, 5'11". not in wisconsin but the d.c. primary your manna chooefd a sensational if narrow victory over huntsman coming third and beating by a mere 165 votes. i guess that is something of an encouragement even in huntsman dropped out months ago. >> i was encouraged because most of the people in d.c. would lose their jobs if newt was president and he wanted smaller limited government and why shouldn't the establishment, who are working for the government, who all occupy k street, why should she vote for newt gingrich. >> i am not going to talk about the many years mr. gingrich spent on the same k street for the moment. how would you describe the condition today of the gingrich campaign? sit suffering an acute hemorrhage? is it in intensive care, is it on life support? where exactly is it? >> i think it faces real challenges. as you remember, you've watched this campaign and covered it since the beginning. newt wanted to make this campaign ab

justices heard arguments against his health care law and that's where we'll start with the panel, rick tylerfor a pro gingrich superback and maria cardo cardona, contributor and strategist and tori clork, a former spokeswoman and senior adviceor for the comcast corporation. thanks for being with us. it is president for the first time commented on the supreme court oral arguments and on health care and he really went at it on accusing -- well, suggesting the supreme court should not over turn the law and be an activist court. listen to what he said. >> for years what we heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint. an unelected group of people would somehow over turn a duelled constituted and passed law. >> now, quickly after that senator or an hatch, in a tough re-election fight in his state put out a statement saying it must be nice living in a fantasy world where every law you like is constitutional and every supreme court decision you don't is activist and said the memo appears to have gone out from the president's campaign and criticizin

hey, rick. >> thanks, tyler.dy today of course is watching how equities are fighting to hold or get close to unchanged territory like the s&p right now. but look at an intraday chart of 10s. look at a two-day chart. rates keep moving lower after the minutes were released and they spiked. part of that might be a lot of optimism about tomorrow's jobs report. but a bit of it also has to do with what's going on in europe, again. let's look at a two-year chart of the spread between our 10-year rate and the 10-year bund rate. you can see it's now at the widest in a bit over a year. it's in the mid-40s. and there is visual graphic proof that the deterioration of fund issues whether it's portugal or spain making a difference in a large way once again. canada did something today they haven't done much. they created 82,300 jobs. they were looking for 10,000. it's the fourth-best job creation going back 30 years. i checked. if you look at a chart now the currency side of this, the dollar versus canada, you can see the dolla

hey, rick. >> hi, tyler. indeed welcoming the first quarter as steve liesman was doing with his spot just moments ago. everybody is trying to handicap their strategy for trade the next month as they try to put all the pieces together with data as to assess how first quarter gdp will look. that will of course be the last week of the month. if you look at an intraday 24-hour chart actually of 10-year note yields, you can see they're down a bit. keep in mind here we are at 2.18. the high water mark for march post march 13th meeting was 2.38. we're down about 20 basis point. look at a 24-hour chart for the bund. they're down a little more. high yield water mark for march was a close at 2.05. take away 25 basis points. up rather large close to a third of a percent. look at dollar versus canada, you can see it's getting very close to breaking out to the wrong direction. and the last chart's the dollar index, which is down currently sits about 1.25% from where it finished up 2011 as traders handicap commodity prices

back to you, tyler. >> rick, thank you very much. stocks slipping today following a weaker than expected gdp report on china or in china or from china. choose your preposition there. how about that? dow on track to end the week lower by 1% in what has been a very volatile trading week. is it risk-on or risk-off right now? our power player, katie nixon, welcome back. >> thanks, tyler. >> let's talk a little about china. is it doing exactly what you expected it to do? and does today's number change anything in how you all will be managing your portfolios? >> well, we expected a slowdown in china. and certainly the 8.1% print that came in overnight was a little bit less than had been anticipated. but 8.1% is a very strong growth rate. we still expect there to be a soft landing there. and if anything, the 8.1% number that we've seen might precipitate more policy intervention there which would in fact even further support our soft landing scenario. >> speaking of policy intervention shifting gears to here in the u.s., what do you expect t

tyler, back to you. >> rick santelli, thank you very much. let's head now to bob pisani on the floor of the new york stock exchange. bob. >> hello, tyler. look at this, we're holding our gains near the highs of the day. why is everybody so confident again all of a sudden after being so rocky yesterday? alcoa was marginally a help. but i only think marginally. comments by the ecb official they might be buying spanish bonds if they need to in the future. that helped. but regardless, look at this. 1.5%, 1. 75% in all industrials here. financial stocks, all to the upside. i want to put up the crude oil to nat gas chart that brian just put up because i want you to note here the ratio. look at this. 102 to 2. again, oil up, crude -- oil up, nat gas down thr, this is a ratf 51-to-1. has anyone ever seen 51 to one ratio? i don't think there has been. i think this is some kind of record. it's a sign things are really out of whack in this business. the obviously is why don't we short oil and go long natural gas? you think you could do that. there is a w

tyler, back to you. >> rick, thank you very much. the market has been flat for this past month following a spectacular run in the first quarter of the year. concerns now about europe creeping up again, just like last year. so is it time for investors to sell? and as the saying goes, sell in may and go away. let's bring in our friend and power player, richard madigan, chief investment officer of global access portfolios at jpmorgan private bank. richard, welcome. good to see you. last year at this time the second and third quarter stock market trading was all about greece. is it going to be all about spain this year? how should i think about spain and what it may mean for me and my portfolio? >> it is right now. and i was going to kid the sell in may and go away theme that seems to be in rampant right now. the best headline i read in a research piece this morning was go away in may, but don't sell. i think we're at a stalemate in the markets. that's okay. a large part in what we see in terms of broad support for ltro and liquidity fro

tyler, back to you. >>> rick, thank you very much.llying today as investors' optimism grows. our next guest says the u.s. is the place to be right now. joining us is noah blackstein. u.s. growth fund up 22% so far this year. noah, welcome, good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> you like the u.s. you like fast-growing companies, but you don't like apple, why? >> it's not that i don't like apple. i think a number of years ago david faber tagged me as mr. apple because we talked about it for years. our work over the years on apple is trying to figure out what they could earn and how much bigger the company could be. but back four or five years ago it clearly wasn't as well followed and well analyzed as it is today. >> so a great five years but you don't think it's going to have a great next five years or as great. >> well, i would classify the last five years as blank spectacular. and the next five are unlikely to be as good. it's been a tremendous stock. and it's a cheap valuation. we like it. we just think from what we do as stock pic

matt hensdz ricks deflect -- hendricks deflects it past thomas. five minutes to go, tyler seguin knocks in the rebound and we're all tied up. in the third, caps pressuring ovechkin's shot blocked. he tries again but thomas says nice try, buddy. to overtime we go. three minutes in. the capitals win. move on and knock off the defending champs. >> i don't know if he took a shot at rebound. i saw the puck land there. my eyes lit up like a christmas tree and took a whack. >> the series come at you. seven one-goal games, you don't get that very often. it's nice to have it over but there's still a lot of work left. >> big win. >> mike shanahan addressing the media yesterday saying the skins are 99.9% going to get robert griffin iii. of course nothing will be official until his name is called in tonight's draft after weeks of getting to know rgiii, shanahan says he is impressed. >> when you talk about a franchise quarterback, you're looking at a guy that really has all the physical and mental attributes that you're looking for in a quarterback. now he's got to go out and do it on

rick ankiel, the best athlete on the team, coming home to score. and we're tied at five. this one is going to extra innings. still tied in the 11th. tylerord, the all-star facing a very tough joey votto, two on. and he's going the other direction. over the head of mark derosa. drew stubs, coczar both come in to score. clifford takes the loss as the nationals fall, 8-5. they are back at it tomorrow against houston. >>> there's not going to be a goalie controversy for the capitals. at least not yet. rookie braden holtby playing so well that dale hunter says holtby is the guy, even if michael neuvirth gets healthy enough to play. he could be available this week. thomas vokoun aggravated a groin muscle last month and isn't skating. so it doesn't look like he'll be back for a while. as for the rook, holtby has turned away 72 of 74 shots against the defending champs. the bruins haven't been able to solve the riddle that is the rook and holtby continues to stay aggressive in the crease. the series now tied at 1-1 with game three coming up at verizon center tomorrow night. >> obviously, there's a lot of talk of the first two games. my game real

tyler. i can't remember, one or the other. >> we'll both take it, ricky. thank you. >> we're both here, rick. doesn't matter. we're both here. look at that dow. up nearly 200 points now. the s&p up 20. the nasdaq higher by 54. almost 2%. earnings, europe, big u.s. companies scheduled to report this week. ibm, bank of america, mcdonald's among them. positivity is what we're talking about here. is the positivity going to continue and keep this rally over the past couple of days going? carmine grigoli and bert white. what do you say, carmine? is the rally for real, as my 6-year-old says? for real? >> absolutely. i do think this market moves substantially higher over the course of the next year based on a number of factors. earnings will rise in the vicinity of 8% to 10%. you also have an increased appetite by the corporate sector. corporations will come in and buy $550 billion of stock this year. valuation in the equity market relative to interest rates have not been this low in over 50 years. what's not to like? i do understand europe is an issue. it's going to be ongoing. not going to disappear any time soon.
