are you concerned about it despite what professor siegel said?ch it is not a problem. >> i don't think a slowly rising rate -- a slow rate environment is problematic. a shock where rates spike up, that's problematic. >> the other thing interesting to me, if he thinks the dow names could be up. there's other places you'd rather be to get a better return. >> like what? >> well, just like maybe some smaller cap things or just some more beta in a way. when you think about what's in the dow, it's at&t, intel, microsoft. there's a lot of stuff in there. at the end of the day, i don't look at the dow. guy probably quotes it all day long. but to me -- the old timy guys here. there are other places you get more bang for your buck. >> how about you old timy? >> obviously apple's a place that would -- you'd want to look that will be significantly higher. listen. i think the islanders are going to win the stanley cup this year, but they're not. >> 50/50 chance? >> what i mean by that is it's okay to say the dow is going to 15,000. and i agree with everything

siegel has a question for you. >> robin, we were talking, dr.en and i were talking about whether there would be value if the coroner had been able to get involved in this earlier and do you think there will be an autopsy tomorrow morning in this case? >> there should be an autopsy tomorrow morning. you and i both know what should and what actually happens are two different things. even in the michael jackson case you didn't have an autopsy immediately. you did have an immediate aah it topsy but didn't have the toxicology which makes the autopsy not finalized. the question is is there going to be an immediate cause of death tomorrow. perhaps we may have some sort of unconfirmed cause of death but without toxicology you are noting if to have confirmation and that is at least four to six weeks away. >> harris: viewers have been very sensitive and i will share a tweet from rachel fryberg who says i won't remember whitney for her drug abuse problems. i will remember her for her music and the way in which she loved her daughter. and there are so many

that's what jeremy siegel says. >> happy to be here. >> we are talking about dow 13,000. you believe the odds are in favor of the dow hitting 15,000 over the next two years and there is a 50/50 chance of 17,000. >> right. 15,000 seems like a dream but truth of the matter is it would only mean another 7.5% this year and 7.5% in 2013 which aren't gigantic gains. so it's certain not out of the question. in fact, i think as you mentioned it is very possible that we are going to get to that 17,000 level by the end of next year. we get a lot of historical analysis. once you have had a bad five year period like we have had before, the following two years tend to be very, very good with gains that have averaged almost 20% a year. so when we looked at all the different probabilities of what history and there is a lot of history. we are going back 140 years, has told us it seems like i wouldn't call dow 15,000 a slam dunk but 70% of the time we will have reached that and 50% of the time we will have gotten as high as dow 17,000. >> let me ask you about this situation sort of feedin

marc siegel member of fox news medical a-team. this, doc, normally we're talking about flu outbreak. this virus seems to be more prevalent than the average flu. >> this is called stomach flu. we see 20 million cases every year of norovirus. 20 million cases. it is number one cause in the united states. it is all over the place. i'll tell you. takes only day or two after you get it to get sick but you can pass it around for week or two. if you don't isolate yourself and keep preparing food and touch people, they get sick. you think you're better. go back to work. everyone else gets sick. jenna: you are still a carrier. one report suggested that anti-bacterial hand sanitizer, the jell you carry in your purse or pocket really doesn't work against that. is that true? does it help with something like this? >> the center for disease control says it does work. doesn't work quite as well as some other viruses. old-fashioned hand washing still the best. isolating yourself. usually comes in with food handling. so some food gets contaminated

marc siegel from the medical a team joins me now. this after interviewing these two teens? >> that's the key, gretchen. first of all, i'm not their physician and we've been speculating a lot in the media. after interviewing them and i basically took a medical history from both, i'm impressed with how vulnerable they are. how fearful they are. they're not doing this for media attention. i feel very badly for them and their parents. they're looking for answers and this came on suddenly. one in particular was fine until this occurred. lauren said i walked into a store and i saw someone else ticking and i began to tic, the actual movements they have and what they experience seems to me now and i'm one of the people that's raised the possibility of infection in the environment, at the end of the day, i think that this is probably psychiatric so i want to toss to dr. mcveegue, a shot from her from buffalo who explains why she thinks this is psychiatric. >> thashz a large portion of the kids that may have pre-existing psych logic conditions

tim, 17,000 by the end of next year wouz jereas jeremy siegel'. does 20,000 sound reasonable or crazy to you? >> well, i'm certainly not going to see 20,000 and then raise you. but, mandy, when we look at what we see at the company level and at tamro capital we're stock pickers. it's come in better than expected. companies with great balance sheets, profitability moving higher. and demand is pretty good. if the market follows fundamentals, the expectation is you'll continue to see the broader averages move up. >> but we can't even get to close above 13,000. what's going on there? is there a real commitment phobia out there on the street to actually making certain levels that would give us the catalyst to move to whatever, whether it be 14,000 or 17,000? >> sure. it's sort of funny to me. people get fixated on big, round numbers. i remember way back in 2000 when we were trying to get to dow 10,000 and the former head of the nyse, dick grasso, was handing out dow 10,000 hats. we finally got through that. we had a nice move up and two bear markets. i

danielle kirshenbaum, jim siegel, katherine wittgen. >> in the past, i have represented the pacific heights residents' association. i am a co-founder of the neighborhood network. today, i am only speaking for myself. however, i am sure i am not alone when i commend all the effort and diligence that has gone into the proposed amendments. it seems to me that all of this energy and effort would be far better spent under the leadership of a visionary who can unite us rather than divide us. for one example, perhaps supervisor weiner can invite historic preservationists like me to sit down with developers, rather than turning us into adversaries, where i feel compelled to appear here in a negative way. i am gratified that the supervisor has adjusted certain parts of his proposal. the process up to this point, though, has left too many of us suspicious and resentful. i am putting my money where my mouth is. i have two weeks before my next job begins. during that time, i am available to anyone who would like to discuss the merits of various ways to implement a means for serving the essence of san f

siegel, about... we're not going to speculate or say that any part of her lifestyle contributed. we get the answers. first of all, how long do you think it will take to really know what caused his death. >> because it is a celebrity case it slows down the process an gums up the works. if he thirst questifirst questie autopsy will show and it will rule out natural causes, there wasn't a blow to the head, a bleed to the head and wasn't a heart attack and something didn't cause her to stop breathing and look at the lungs and gross organs and liver and i'm most interested in that issue. did they find a heart attack or a bleed and if they rule that out and say, at the end of the autopsy we don't know the cause of death. maybe we'll look at the toxicology reports. down the road, which will take a week or two. >> jamie: what about brain tissue. >> first of all, it is a huge loss to see such a talented singer, to go this way. you know? >> jamie: 28 years old. >> i grew up listening to her music in the '80s and '90s. it is really sad, i think exactly what you said. you don't want to specu

great memories from the war was that even talking to me in the '70s that he remembered fondly was siegel nor roosevelt. he didn't know who it was. he knew there was a jeep convoy and he sort of craned his neck to see who it was and riding in the back of the jeep with no particular protection was eleanor roosevelt and he'd never seen a first lady and that made a great impression on him. the -- >> i think the early life is -- i'm very partial to it. both in the terms of the formation of nixon, his character and his ideas. and gary wilkes writes about going down to yorba linda and he talks about driving through the wasteland of oil derek ricks and what else would you expect from richard nixon. yorba lenda, whittier and fullerton, nixon's youth was idyllic and he writes in the memoirs about that on a clear day you could see the snows of mt. bald ty to the pacific and whittier was a remarkable enclave, a quaker enclave of theology and education in the 1880s and then to college. it was a diverse community and it was misinterpreted by some authors. he was not the psycho biography that was appli

mr siegel one of welcome to our program i'd like to start with this question a number of world leaders including the russian president are warning of a possible recession and the global economy what chances are there for this scenario to unfold. as indeed this option is possible to a large extent it depends on the efficiency of the decision making by the eurozone countries and those that find themselves in a heavy debt crisis therefore functioning of the financial market particularly in the euro zone and operation of financial institutions banks and financial companies which they are the most vulnerable and largely dependent on the unstable financial economic situation is a priority issue for europe therefore today european countries are taking a number of steps to provide banks and financial companies with the quiddity so they would settle accounts and lend to the economy so the economy would develop further rather than fall back into recession certainly one of the tense issues in the eurozone is to what extent such countries as greece will undertake measures of normalizing their budg
