the baseline, what this budget does, sends our debt in the stratosphere. that's the point. >> we have different stratospheres, i understand that. if we would work together we perhaps move towards some tangible evidence. so you can't over simplify these things. you can't ask director out of context. it's a simply fication. it doesn't work. it doesn't work. now, as a former member of the transportation and infrastructure committee, i believe that fund for roads, bridges, buses, trains, is an investment in the economy. i have never seen an economist say otherwise. they are right once in a while. according to the american society of civil engineers, our structure is graded as "d" minus. that's no surprise to anybody around the table if president's budget includes $50 billion in up front investments and a $460 billion six-year reauthorization which is 80% increase. this is in contrast with the budget of the transportation committee that's coming up, not today or tomorrow, in the future. headline news. on that topic, we learned yesterday that the congressional b

apple's not the only stock soaring into the stratosphere. has it run too fast too far? let's talk to carter braxton, worth. >> it's just that. the advance. meaning the october, february advance i've drawn the trend line of the last two years. you would show this as a mature advance. october, february five months. almost 30%. then put it in context of the longer term move. you'll see in the longer term chart where exactly we've come to. here's the same move october to february. the general principle of trends and channels is when you get to the bottom of it, it's not about bye juncture. when you get to the -- it's not a bad sell juncture. too far too fast. if you're buying nike shares here, whom are you going to sell them to? who's going to buy it higher? go short. do something. >> carter's clear about where he stands on nike. do you agree fundamentally? >> i do. we might have a graphic. if you took a look at the multiple of this stock over time, the price to earnings multiple or the enterprise value. over the course of the last ten years, you're going to notice a pretty

are most nominees in the earning stratosphere already?> it can definitely help an actor, no question. if he were to win that definitely would raise his price quote because now he would be an oscar winner. you will notice, too, in a lot of marketing for films it would say academy award winning actor so and so or academy award nominee raises the profile. however, we have heard oftentimes about the oscar curse. some actors after they win the oscar their career doesn't go anywhere. i don't want to see that happen to anyone in the future. it is definitely never a bad thing, i think, to win an oscar. >> sure. what are the trends this year? what are you expecting? >> i'm looking at "the artist" as a film that can do quite well at the oscars. of course, "the help" and "the descendants", these films are not doing that well at the box office. they are not getting that huge oscar bump that we normally see. in fact, if you add up the total at this point of the nine best picture nominees it is about $595 million. if you take last year's best picture n

cause higher interest rates to cause higher deficits and will continue to, you know, move into the stratosphere. >> there was a quote in the financial times last week, interviewer said well, when a state's debt exceeds 90% of gdp, they will reduce economic potential for the country and then reporter said i suggest that the united states is still comfortably short of that level. but i am swiftly corrected f you count the federal, state debt crucially and add in unfunded debt from the social security system, matters you just mentioned, then he thinks that america's debt level is well over 120% of gdp. and their paper that they wrote was, indeed, based on the most exhaustive study of financial crisis in nations ever performed. and that's why i got a good bit of interest. thank you for sharing with us. i do believe you're correct to advise us that we should move forward with reform on all fronts sooner rather than later. we could perhaps disagree about exactly whether we ought to start some of the reductions in spending. but personally, i would believe that we shouldn't go a day with inefficient wa

and "i will always love you" topped the charts around the world, it propelled her into this rare stratosphere of genuine megastar. what are the particular pressures that goes with the territory if you are a singer that reaches that kind of level, do you think? >> i think part of it, piers, is that when you have tasted the kind of height somebody like michael jackson or whitney houston have got -- in other words, the top of the top of the top, those kind of artists, they can't walk away from that kind of success, you know? every artist like that will always want to be at the top again. i think michael jackson, a lot of the pressure was the fact that he wanted to prove that he was still the king of pop. he was under enormous pressure to do what was 50, 52 mega concerts. that is unbelievable pressure. and i think the same must have applied to whitney, because, you know, she dwanted to prove that she was still as good as she was when she was at her peak. and i think that's part of the pressure. a lot of people are always blaming media intrusion or the paparazzi. i don't necessarily go along with

that adult eagle swoomed down from the stratosphere and said to the confused biffered, boy, you ain't no chicken. you're an eagle. your mighty talents weren't meant to scrape on the ground for cat er pillars. he said boy, you ain't no chicken, you're an eagle. your eagle eye was not meant to be limited to the narrow confines of the barn yard but to seek out your unfulfilled potential and spread your wings. you ain't no chicken. this is the message to each of us today. i don't care what you've done up to this point in your life. i don't care if you've had chicken parents, attended chicken school, even if you had chicken teachers, chicken assignments and even some of you have some chicken jobs with chicken managers arpped -- and supervisors. don't think chicken thoughts and don't dream chicken dreams. think like an eagle. ok? all right. all right. [applause] wasted time and potential we will never be able to recover the time wasted. i repeat, the greatest tragedy in life is wasted time and wasted potential. even at my age i wake up every day with this notion of discovery, wanting to kno

necessary even though many people don't support it is this because these people are in an elite stratosphere where they it's necessary maybe for them for political reasons they're facing reelection or to please their constituents or or whatever but these decisions won't affect them they're not the people that are going to be crippled by higher oil prices or have their kids sent off to war for that matter. well i mean it depends how high oil prices go i mean you could make a scenario and i'm not saying it's likely or probable but it's not impossible where you know or oil prices go to any number you could pick to fifty three hundred if we do something and it affects saudi arabia see that's the elephant in the room i mean everybody's looking at israel and existential threat to israel and that's serious i agree i think we should support israel with everyone in every way we can but the elephant in the room is not israel the elephant in the room right now is saudi arabia and if we attack iran just a very local look a focused on those nuclear facilities it's going to have to be with major bombs i h

that's what i take from the stratospheric rise in westport innovations, wprt.he leading maker of natural gas-powered engines, especially for heavy-duty trucks. westport's long been one of my favorite speculative plays on nat gas vehicles. lately the stock has soared through the roof shooting up nearly 20% year to date. 263% since i first got behind it in january 2010. while the economics of this business have never been better for westport the company, nat gas at nearby all-time lows, gas price as boff $4 a gallon, going higher, some people are starting to about westport the stock. on wednesday westport priced 5.5 million share secondary offering at $3.25. and yesterday jpmorgan downgraded the stock to a sell in large part because they think it's gotten too expensive at these levels but also because they think there's competition coming and the addressable market might be smaller than some believe, including me. i think these are legitimate concerns, which is why i'm thrilled to have david demers and a new model of the natural gas engine behind me. david's the
