i would to bring in jeremy siegel.ho has said over and over again on this program that we would see doubt 20,000 by the end of this year -- that we would see dow 20,000 by the end of this year. does that depend on a perfect tech score? prof siegel: anything that is selling for a high price earnings ratio, 25, 30 or higher, you need to be perfection to keep your stock going. i don't think we need perfection for the market to continue to go. we are selling around 18 times earnings. the first quarter has been terrible in terms of gdp. we are going to get gdp about 1%. 18 times the first quarter earnings combined with extremely low interest rates which are not going to rise that much this year we don't need perfection for that to get to doubt 20,000 by the end of the year -- doubt 20,000 by the end of the year. we need for economic growth to improve for the dollar not to continue to soar in the markets. we are looking for stability in the oil price and a rising productivity. betty: here is someone who might be on the other

siegel, can nagging cause mental issues among girls? >> among anyone.he line. we're not talking about neurosis. we're talking about role modeling, both genetic and environment. genetic if you have a successful mother maybe you inherited that gene. my family, my grandmother was very prominent politician. my mother ran her own business. my sister is professor. my wife is a physician. i think that casts -- not just women. it is men looking up to their fathers. women looking up to their mothers. this study showed more likely to attend universities, more likely to succeed. i'm a big big believer in this especially in a society which is still partly sexist. partly saying women, stay at home. >> my parents aren't, if you look what they accomplished in their lives, they are are not super successful. they were business owners. but they were extremely successful parents. they set out, they treated that as a career. >> weigh in a little bit on my mom, bt. she is amazing. not pushy at all. she let her children, i mean she let me -- >> not neurotic? >> not at all. s

the same goes for steven siegel who game a reserve officer in new mexico two years ago at age 60 andreality series called steven see balance lawman based on his exploits as a deputy in louisiana but the idea of volunteer sheriff's deputies isn't amusing in light of what happened in tulsa, oklahoma, where robert bates who volunteers for the tulsa county sheriff's office shot and killed 44-year-old eric harris who according to the county sheriff's office was a subject of a sting operation to catch him selling guns and drugs. harris was unarmed. mr. bates who said he mistook his gun for his taser and therefore shot harris by accident turned himself in to shorts at the sul that county jail today where he was booked. the tulsa county d.a. charged him with second degree manslaughter and released on bond. whatever his legal culpability under what scenario is it okay for a volunteer deputy to carry a firearm in an undercover sting operation that the police expect will have guns involved? how does that happen? turns out the reserve officers are fairly widespread in the u.s. and through their

laurie siegel is with me from "cnn money." a lot of tech companies here in the united states have been instrumental in terms of the people being able to know whether their loved one is alive. >> at a time like this everyone wants to know are you okay, not okay? everyone needs nsks.information. there are a couple tools the tech company launched. facebook launched safety check, a really interesting one. if you're in the area, in nepal, you'll get a facebook alert. it will say, are you okay? check in and say, i'm safe or not safe. or don't check in. >> knows you're there from the gio location. >> i went to this and i was look at it and i saw three of my friends were actually in the area and had checked in as safe. i was like i didn't know they were there. so it's such a powerful tool. it shows the power of social media during times like this. another one, google has just announced google -- their google crisis response team. they announced something called people finder. this is kind of this crowd sourcing tool. an emergency work
