stuart: thanks.rd because the market is coming back above the bed more. down to a six. game, number 35-point gain. i'm going to change the subject entirely. would you pay a couple of thousand dollars for a bottle of wine? today we are looking a vintage wine that is up for auction. joining the company, the head of wine sales in new york. first of all, you have a bottle of red wine sitting next to me. i am told that the six bottles of this wind, this vintage are going to be up for auction and that they will sell for between nine and $13,000 for the six. >> correct. stuart: usa -- tasted this stuff. >> i have. i did not mean ted downgraded quite like that. stuart: you think it is that special. >> absolutely. this is a great wine that is rare, small production. then make somewhere around 25,000 bottles per year giver take which is not a lot for civilian production. stuart: someone who can pay nine to $13 that would be $2,000 plus per bop, are the investing are they going to drink it? >> both. ultimately

stuart: is it a plug-in. >> it is. stuart: the range?allowed on the freeway. stuart: the top speed. >> 105. stuart: 105? what's the torque, that is the power you get going? >> yes, this uniquely has had a gear box with an electric motor nobody else has. the torque schriver is amazing. stuart: the price. >> 16,999. stuart: that one there, 16 grand. here is the kicker, you did not receive a dime in federal government green subsidies. >> no, two wheel doesn't qualify, you know, the four-wheelers have kind of got that locked up. stuart: okay, now, i do get a tax credit if i buy one? >> you do, you get 10% of the cost so we worked hard to make that happen and it's disproportionate to cars and we have a bigger battery from cars and they get a much better tax credit. stuart: you've got to go public and you want to do an ipo on brammo, that's the name of the company. you can't tell me how many of those machines you've sold? >> no, i can tell this year's production is pretty sold so we're in a good position, but like a company we're trying to gro

stuart.we'll see. i mean, we'll see what he does over the next months. if he stays engaged with congress, then i think there's a chance we can get the kind of big deal we need. if he goes back touring the country, saying, oh, no, congress is the problem not him, then it probably is not going to happen. stuart: do you think he's prepared to give any ground on entitlement reform? and i use that expression deliberately because entitlement reform is changing the structure of medicare, not just tinkering around the edges. >> he has to if we want to get the reform he needs. and there's room to do it. we look at the cbo scoring and being creative and coming up with ideas, but it's going to take that to get something done. stuart: but i need your sense of this. do you believe that the president is willing to do real medicare reform? yes or no? >> well, maybe. i hope so. here is the thing, stuart, we're going into the budget process. house as you saw congressman ryan put forward a budget, the senate w

stuart: okay.irtually out of detroit, they can't meet the payroll unless they get some money from outside. i guess i'm calling that very loosely a bailout of sorts. >> well, there's certainly some government assistance from the state coming to the city, but a lot of it is the city getting its own act together. i mean for example the city is doing a terrible job collecting business and personal income taxes from the residents. that can be improved. the state can help with that. the state is selling the state fairgrounds, which happens to be in the city of detroit for -- to make room for development. that will be a boon to the city of detroit. so there are things the state can do, but it's really letting the city get out of its own way and let the private sector flourish in the city of detroit. stuart: look, i agree with letting the private sector flourish by all means but the one area you have not mentioned is the pensions which the city owes to its retired employees -- retirees. you have to cut the

stuart: yeah.r getting closer to those levels, a couple points away. stuart: 14,300. nicole: 14-3, 14-3. stuart: let's not celebrate too wildly ed butowsky. hold on a second. two more stocks we follow closely, names you know. j.c. penney, wall street journal says penny's board considering selling the company or replacing the chief ron johnson if the drop in sales is not reversed. and microsoft, the eu, european union, those pagans losers and moth, they're failing to offer web browser, the stock is down on that news just as the market goes up. in my opinion this rally has been brought to you by fed chairman ben bernanke, ed butowsky is with us. am i right. >> partly. stuart: this is a fed, federal reserve fueled rally. >> in many different ways. this market is higher for a number of reasons and when you see the printing of money you see lower rates as you point out all the time correctly and allows companies to get better profits because the borrowing costs are lower, in addition, stocks are cheap b

stuart: is it?, to me, the shocking number from a report that came out from the government was the least amount of layoffs ever in the 12-year period of washington, so, that to me also is an indication that, you know, obviously, it's a positive sign. by the way, 1.5 million layoffs sound like a lot, but that's the least amount. does at that give people confidence. stuart: we're talking around in a circle and essentially saying this is a strong labor market. charles: no, no, i think it's improving labor market. here is the other thing, the jobs openings have not increased. but people are-- the companies aren't laying people off to the degree they were before. and like the old saying we keep saying we've cut to the bone. and i think that companies have finally hit bone. is that what we're looking at really? >> i would say what people are noticing is that in light of the cuts that happened, they are noticing that there are some companies, actually, as per a survey that manpower group did earlier this y

stuart. agree, anytime we see a drop in the market even with the cyprus situation, people bought the market and that's why you see the market higher again today. in fact, a couple of down days and yesterday was another down day and the s&p's are nearing 1450 and in fact when they care they want to use the opportunity to buy it on a drop or a break. >> you've got the same feeling as a lot of other people. this market wants to go north, right? >> yeah. stuart: no matter what. >> you've got to find opportunities to get in and bad news is what you want to look for to find the drops or breaks the in the market and get in the market for it continue to go higher. stuart: you're cold-hearted and you don't care about cyprus, i can tell. larry levin, the bell is starting to ring. seconds before the trading starts and again, roughly 40, 45 points when all the stocks kick in and off we go again. 14,421. where are we goings to end up? i don't know, but we're higher. we're opening 3 points and i'm expectin

"we found a large number of books in these characters, "and as they contained nothing "in which there were not to be seen "superstition and lies of the devil, "we burned them all, "which caused them much affliction." ironically, a book by bishop landa himself proved crucial to the understanding of maya writing. stuart: and in it is everything that he observed in yucatan about the maya, about their ceremonial cycles, their ritual calendars. he even had pictures of

it's all in a final report by the special inspector general for iraq reconstruction: stuart bowen. he offers a damning appraisal of a project well-intentioned, but hugely wasteful in money and lives. to date, rebuilding iraq has cost more than $60 billion in u.s. funds and more than 700 people have died supporting reconstruction apart from tens of thousands of iraqis and 4,400 americans killed in the war itself. prime minister nouri al-maliki told bowen that "the overall benefit to iraq was small when compared with the size of the sums spent." and u.s. senator susan collins of maine said, "the level of fraud, waste and abuse in iraq was appalling". she recalled she was angered to learn that reconstruction money found its way into the hands of insurgent groups. bowen also concluded that $8 billion of a separate fund of nearly $24 billion in iraqi money was wasted. it came from iraqi oil and gas revenues and seized assets, and was flown to baghdad by the u.s. in the form of cash. california congressman henry waxman was incredulous at that revelation, in 2007. >> the cash weighed more
