stuart: you can? let's do it. >> here's the thing, you don't just invest and the market goes up, you make money on that return and sell it and go home. it doesn't work that way, stuart. it's a longer term game. right now you should be doing the exact same thing you were doing last year and the thing you were doing two years ago. you should be looking for opportunities to invest in growth. depending on your time horizon, you should be looking to allocate money and the fact that the market is slightly up for the year and down from last year, that doesn't mean you wait till the market is at an all-time high and invest and right now is the exact time to be investing. stuart: is that called dollar cost averaging? put the same amount of money in every year -- in given periods into the stock market? >> exactly. stuart: that's a good thing? >> that's the only thing that's foolproof. it's never not worked in history. stuart: what about the people of my age, you know, 70s. it's still good for them? >> if you wa

[laughter] i know, i know. we're going back, not forwards. we've got to go forwards. stuart: i don't want to be snarky, this is a minor slip of the tongue. it's not a big deal, right? >> i agree with you. this is not a big deal, maria, by all say the wrong name from time to time, larry. am i right, cheryl? [laughter] she just slips up more often than not, charles. back to you. stuart: that was good. >> back to you, kennedy. lauren: he's running out of names. stuart: you've got to suffer me for the entire hour. >> okay, ash. stuart: jamie dimon, who many people think of as america's top banker, he is critical of the federal reserve. this is a big deal. lauren: he

stuart: yeah.blicans, bring this back home for a second, republicans seem split on biden's visit to ukraine. what we should give to ukraine. some republicans say we should just give them what yea -- they need to win. others are saying, look, we can't just write them a blank check. that's a split in the republican party. but, christian, i'm not so sure the democrats are truly united on ukraine. what say you? >> i think that's right. as time goes by, this is very typical, we saw i this with iraq and afghanistan and syria and somalia that the u.s. becomes a little less interested many wars that aren't deicive. of there's been a divide in the -- decisive. it's less apparent in congress where there's strong support, but in the rank and file, there are doubts. why, for example, are we paying three-quarters of the price of this war, europe paying the other quarter, shouldn't that be reversed since they're in harm's way. at first service the conflated with hatred of russia and the belief that russia made a

stuart: i got you. the volume went down because they didn't have the pricing power -- they raised prices. lauren: corrected. you're both right. stuart: foot locker up or down? lauren: they're up 2% and they're staying. i've been checking. credit cease to outperform rarating and shares going to 62 and up more than 40% from here. the reason is simple, wall street got way too bearish on footlocker and the fact that nike is cutting the inventory they give to footlocker, creditswise says that's not a big deal. look at moderna down about 4%. the story at pfizer is that they're warning that, yeah, covid vaccine sales are going to be weaker and then when you couple in what's happening in may when the public health emergency ends is lifted, that mean ifs you don't have insurance, you have to go out and buy full price the covid shot for -- whether it's pfizer or moderna and that'll be $120 or $130 because it's not subsidized by the government anymore. who will do that with the props that you can get vac nated but

stuart: okay.ion before to our guests. very few of our regulars on this program are bullish. very few of them at this point. where do you stand on this? >> well, it's tough to be able to put myself in a camp one way or the other. i think i'm very pro-volatility. we're going to keep getting these days, stuart, where we're bouncing up and down. but i think long term if we look at what happened when we are so strong during the first part of the year, we usually have good follow through for the rest of the year. i think if the fed decides to play any kind of nice over the rest of the first half of the year, we're set up for an okay finish to the year. and i think the numbers prove that out from what we do thinks to haveically. stuart: okay. -- historically. what are you buying, if anything, today? >> today, stuart, i am buying what you're buying, for today we're getting a little pop in the market. i'm liking really short-term treasuries. how can you go wrong with a 5% treasury that's a year or six mont

stuart okay.because i think you believe meta is following in twitter's footsteps, is that right? >> it is. i, you know, as much as i dislike the ceo, mark zuckerberg, personally, he is not stupid the. he's a brilliant competitor, the he's ruthless. i think it is interesting that he's chosen to follow musk's path on this one. it's a me too move, but with it might be worth $200 a share. stuart: what's the problem with mark zucker zuckerberg? you don't like him personally? >> i think for a long time his ethics were debatable in my book based on how they tried to censor speech, how they used advertisers, how they abused information, their users, etc. but i'm old school. a lot of people didn't have those problems that i did. to me, i looked at it at 350, went down below 100, now i'm keen to look the other way if he's having a case of the adults. stuart: so you bought into meta when it crops to $100 a share, you said so on this show, as i recall. you bought it, right? >> well, you have a good memory. i

stuart: okay.should president biden, how should america respond to putin's rant this morning? earlier on the show odd the, pete, just a few -- today, pete, congressman andy biggs, he was on the show and i said what should we be doing for ukraine? he said no more aid. sit down now and talk peace. what do you say to that? >> you know, i've historically been about as hawkish as they come, stuart. i have years and years of a talking about winning wars in iraq and afghanistan. i'm a neo-conservative mugged by reality. and you can talk about winning wars all you want, but tell me what that looks like. what is the end state? how many of our own resources are we going to drain when we have bigger conflicts around the globe? i agree with andy biggs, i do. at this point, ukraine, i'm rooting for you. i want you to stand up to putin. but this can't be something america funds at the risk of further escalation and american involvement when it really is china who a's the big dog we're worried about. now we've dr

agriculture, stuart, stuart: got it. thank you, lydia.d with me nowment should we restrict or ban china from buying our farmland? >> yeah, should be a no brainer. you know, not only as you point out is it close to military bases and the opportunity for surveillance on our military personnel, what's going on at those bases and military equipment, but also food security issue. it's one of china's biggest problems and historically had real problems feeding its people. why should we let them buy american farmland to fix their problem at our expense. should be a no brainer and national legislation, state legislation, they should not be allowed to scoop up american farmland especially near critical military facilities. stuart: forgive me, kt, i have the raise the issue of the balloon and intruding onto this week as well as last week. now the white house says three chinese balloons flew over the u.s. during the trump administration. now, president trump and former officials say that absolutely is not true. watch this, please. >> well, it's not t

stuart. stuart: casey, thank you very much.anadian province is de-criminalizing hard drugs like fentanyl and heroin. ashley, where is this happening and why is it happening? ashley: british columbia up north of the border, it's not legalizing drugs but the province says no one 18 years and older will be charged if caught in possession of 2.5 grams of certain illegal drugs including heroin, fentanyl, meth and ecstasy for personal use. authorities say making the offenses criminal actually drives people to use alone and using alone can be fatal. the theory is de-criminalizing people that use drugs breaks down the fear and shame associated with substance use and ensures they feel safer reaching out for life saving support. by the way, at least 2272 people died of an overdose just in that province last year while another 2300 people died in 2021. so it's a pilot program, a new approach. we'll see how it works out. stu. stuart: ashley, thank you very much indeed. this is the time when we take a look at all the dow 30 stocks and get a

stuart: it is fascinating. >> this is transparency, folks. stuart: thank you.ack to the markets, more red ink on the table, down 170 on the dow and the nasdaq. david, you are one of the most bearish guests on the show. are you still looking for new lows in the market in the future? >> good morning. in my opinion, it is clear a recession is becoming stronger and stronger as far as the most common indicators that are either never wrong or rarely wrong, seem to be flashing, and the yield curve which is worse than it ever was during the dot.com crisis or the 2,008 crisis. you mentioned it here that we are below 50, at the most common 40 that are regulated in this most of them are under that same threshold, that is a major concern for those who understand the indicators. quantitative tightening taking place. we 've not seen quantitative tightening happen in our economy before, but the fed needs $90 billion on a monthly basis so that's the opposite approach in 2008 recession. stuart: hold on, i have limited time, you don't change your mind if the fed announces a 25 b

stuart: okay.rally this year from mike lee. >> well, look, the market could be taking this stuff in styled. the economy's not the stock market, the stock market's not the economy. what was an a unknown was how aggressive the fed was going to get is almost a known now, and the market is comfortable with higher rates, with the slowing economy, and there's still $5 trillion in money markets. that's a lot of cash sloshing concern sloshing around, and it's pushing stocks higher. stuart: mike lee, thank you. i've got a new fox poll and it shows what the average person thinks of president biden's leadership. they don't think much to it, i believe. lauren: no, they don't think much, and it's actually getting worse. 54% disapprove of biden's job performance, but that that number went up, in april of 2021, it was 42%: as for his leadership, 64% say it's not strong, is and the retired navy seal told us why yesterday. >> being able to communicate as a leader, being able to express your ideas and articulate the

obviously, i agree with what stuart said.ow there's no evidence that there's a huge groundswell amongst republican primary voters for someone other than trump, but if you look at some of the polls, some of the focus groups, there is an opening for someone. he's not sitting there with 70% to 80% of the likely primary vote. that's an opening. right now, desantis seems to be the next person on deck. we'll see if he can put it together. as stuart knows, running for president is an obstacle course. most people come out less whole than they come in it. it's hard thing to transact. i also agree, that last race did not suit trump. he was having to defend his record. he was obviously playing a little more tight. he didn't seem like he was enjoying that race. '16, he was a happy warrior, maybe unguided missile, but a happy warrior. i think we'll see him come back to that. i do think there's an opening here. the question is, when does desantis have to decide? he probably doesn't have to decide now, but probably by april. you have to get
