honeywell, siemens but this year will probably outperform siemens. >> what about the chats?aying about ge? >> i have some concerns. i looked at a near-term chart. that's good. my big concern is that it's overbought. there's been two times in the last year where these shares have been overbought. two months later the shares were low lower. a month later the shares are exactly break even. three months later they are down 5% on average, up just three out of the 11 times. hey, longer term looks good, yes. near term has concerns. let's get to the longer term chart, though. you can see for almost 18 months now the shares have had a nice uptrend. to me, you want to buy closer to that trend line which is about 24 right now than buying right now. there's too much concern near term here. >> sounds like it's a bit overboard. to both of you, thank you for joining us. check out the online edition of talking numbers. you can head right now to cnbc.com/talking dash numbers. managed to get that out. go ahead and check it out. >>> still ahead, mcdonald's reporting sluggish numbers and the ce

the plant is owned and operated by siemens, the german company, and it's one of 130 facilities they run throughout the united states. they've invested more than $125 million bel in the united states over the past decade and invests about $1 billion every year in research here. when asked about it, they said, america produces better than anyone. the heart of our ability to produce better than anyone is our people. our entrepreneurs are the most determined and innovative. at the same time, we're the largest single market in the world. we have a deep infrastructure that connect this is vast market through pipelines and roads and bridges. our universities attract the best and brightest minds from around the globe. on top of that, we're experiencing an energy revolution in america. that'd united states is less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in more than two decades. we produce more oil at home than we have in nearly 25 years and more natural gas than any time in history. this transformation is driving down energy costs for consumers and businesses. our increase in energy productio

siemens is betting on america by hiring hundreds of new workers in north carolina and putting $50 million a year into training its u.s. work force. and that's the kind of investment that we've always welcomed as a nation, but the reason for select u.s.a. is we know we can do more. we know we can be better. so two years ago i acted on a recommendation from the c.e.o.'s on my jobs council and we created select u.s.a. to encourage more foreign companies to invest and create jobs right here in the united states. and we've shown that this works. as penny mentioned earlier this morning, with help from select u.s.a., the austrian company is creating 220 jobs in an auto parts plant in cartersville, georgia. the canadian company bombadear is investing more than $600 million to expand its jet facility in wichita, kansas. a belgian company that makes high-tech aircraft parts reopened a shuttered factory in stillwater, oklahoma, and they're expected to create 380 good jobs by the end of 2015 and the list goes on. and i want to see even more of these success stories told across this country. which mea

a lot of companies, defense companies, companies like siemens, so here's the investment in youngstown. now, there's the building that was refurbished that was an old warehouse, that's great, in downtown and there are other businesses looking to relocate. they call and they say we want to be around the innovation happening there. for an older industrial area, fantastic for us to have that opportunity. then, siemens comes in and iemens donates $ 440 million worth of software to youngstown state university to create that pipeline, and the goal really is you can see how that little public investment is driving all of the private investment that's not just going to help our region, the tech belt from cleveland to pittsburgh to akron and youngstown but go to the entire country, everyone can benefit from this so you begin to see the pipeline you can create and as you say, get on a track in manufacturing when you're in high school so at 18 you're not wandering around, you know, what car can i go buy and get myself in debt or go to college for one year and accumulate debt and drop out because

that is what my contribution is, writing about it from the siemens point of view to fill in that gap in understanding of what the options and of the commanders were and what couldn't they do and what they could do and that helps analyze the choices a little better. for more information on booktv's recent visit to erie pennsylvania and that many other cities visited by our local content vehicles go to c-span.org/local content. be as a young child they faced racial discrimination i did not like it. i asked my mother and my father and my grandparents and my great grandparents why segregation come to why racial discrimination and they would say that's the way it is. don't get in trouble. don't get in the way. but in 1955 when i was in the tenth grade, 15 years old i heard the voice of martin luther king jr. on the radio and the words of dr. king inspired me to find new ways to get in the way. in 1956 with my brothers and sisters in some of my first cousins we went down to the public library in the town of troy alabama trying to get library cards, trying to check some books out and we wer

one of the companies, obviously, siemens who has invested a lot in the united states is important. this is a national strategy but local and geographic. if you are in an area where you want to come but you want to make sure there is enough of the skill needs there, the idea you can partner with the united states, that we will work with the community college on the crimlum and the skill base you need. for you that fills a job and for us we are increasing the skill base of the country and that will benefit you and them in their next jobs as well. that is something we need to do. we could use that partnership and this dedemravend training that could be taylored to the particular needs of a region can be very important. there is nothing the president would like more than for somebody to say i will come locate here if you will help me ensure i have 300 more of a particular skilled workers here. i think he will say great we will take on that assignment and we will work with you. that is going to define our dedemravend training over the rest of his second term. >> it's a good segway talki

well, for years siemens has had a light rail trolley manufacturing plant in sacramento. in the american recovery act, the stimulus bill, there was some $600 million for the purchase of 80 locomotives to replace the aging locomotives n the east coast amtrak lines. dded to that $80 million was a sentence that said, this money had to be spent only on american-made locomotives. we can make locomotives in america and they did, in sacramento, california. probably a couple thousand jobs, suppliers from all over the nation providing the parts, the electrical systems and the rest or this lobbying motive -- locomotive. made in america, because someone in the stimulus bill added a sentence to an appropriation and said this money must be spent on american-made locomotives. we can do that with every one of our expenditures or many of our expenditures, using your taxpayer money on american-made goods and services, a wise thing to do, which incidentally, was first suggested by george washington and alexander hamilton. you want to go back to the founding fathers, use some of their ideas
