been joining in the nasdaq party. it's a pretty short list. in fact, out of the nonfinancial names in the nasdaq 100 only 12 stocks are in the red this year and of those 12 names, only six of them are down more than 10%. so who are the big nasdaq losers? well, two big notable ones are apple and ebay. both stocks, in fact, are down year to date. we're also seeing weakness when it comes to networking, chip names. stocks like broadcom, krits trix systems. when taking a look at the biggest laggards in the nasdaq 100, some interesting names here intuitive surgical, nuance communications and also you have ek question mix. what's the deal here? is this time for investors to go bottom fishing, good buying opportunity here? traders tell me look, any time you have stocks that aren't joining with the rising tide of the equity market you want to be cautious. for certain names it's a fundamental business story like intuitive surgical and robotic arms. for other names it's a bet on growth like the networking names and whether te can

they didn't run totally into bubble territory like the nasdaq. it was the extraordinary ent internet bubble when stocks were valued well away from earnings. the difference is we're still in touch with fundamentals, a bubble could happen but hasn't happened yet. >> so how big an event is nasdaq 4,000, especially since its still 1,000 points away from the real record? >> yeah, i think it's a pretty big event because the real record, as you pointed out, was in 2000 and actually, the record high was '99. the last time it was above 4,000 was in year 2000, so 13 years ago, more than that. i think it's a pretty big deal. it's a good sign of the recovery of the u.s. economy, which has brought those stocks really reflect. >> as you look ahead, jim, to 2014, what are you expecting for equities? >> yeah, i'm expecting another pretty good year for equities, tyler. i base that optimism on three fact tomorrows. the first is the u.s. has got the cheapest energy in the world, particularly natural gas. secondly, a tremendous record of invasion and technology. the

>> it's a big day here at the nasdaq. we're crossing that 4,000 mark for the first time since september 2000. it's not the highest the nas das has ever been. that was in march 2000 when the nasdaq hit 5408. we're a little way as way from a record high but, nonetheless, a big psychological barrier. there were a few notable losers left behind in today's rally. qualcomm, one of the biggest losers on the index today after china is investigating one of its business unit. ebay taking a hit after comments on monday. talk about the social media, internet 2.0 names like facebook, pandora, yelp, linkedin. not a lot of news there but people say maybe it's a twitter sympathy trade, or momentum trades losing their shine. let's talk about what has been working on the nasdaq today. that's biotech. a big, big winner. nasdaq biotech hitting an all-time high today. names like biogen, cellgen, and old tech is having a good day. google, a good day. amazon hitting another record today. back to you. >> sheila, thanks so much. mean while, the do

a number of stocks at the nasdaq already in bear market territory. what does that mean for all the other stocks there? sheila dharmarajan is bear hunting at the nasdaq. hey, sheila. >> hey there, sue. the nasdaq is staging a little rally today, but when it comes to the tech heavy index traders tell me we are over bought, over stretched and trading at thin levels. so could this mean there is a bigger pullback in store? well, we decided to go bear hunting and see which nasdaq stocks are already in pullback mode and which are pretty close. so based on yesterday's close looking at the nasdaq 100, ten stocks are officially in bear market territory. that means they're off more than 20% since their recent highs. we do have some high-flying names on that list like tesla, green mountain coffee, intuitive surgical. another five names at the nasdaq 100 close, big names like facebook, down about 16%, monster beverages and akamai. the aggregate about a third of the nasdaq 100 stocks are in correction mode. that means they are down more than 10% since hitting their

down about a percent on the session. 3949 on nasdaq. s&p 500 pulling back from the all-time high reached on friday to 1791. what a way to start the week. milestone for dow. close to milestone for s&p 500. only to see them slip away in the final hour. dow closing at another record nonetheless. bob pisani blame it on carl icahn? >> yeah, a good part of it. one of the issues when markets are at historic highs, market names can move things. two market things moved things. mr. icahn, cautious on equities. that cost 70 points in the dow. the bigger damage was in the high beta names. take a look, linkedin facebook zillow. ron was talking about social media. another group that's got a lot of momentum this year not necessarily high beta but the oil names, e&p names have had a huge run. see that drop today? some of this was related to oil moving down. the other big name bill dudley head of the new york fed, came out in the middle of the day and said he was getting more hopeful will the u.s. economy. that cost the dow 20 points. that was earlier in

the nasdaq is doing well, up 34. p is in record territory. >> cisco may set the tone for tomorrow. in a few minutes they're out earnings. ceo john chambers will be here giving us his global outlook. a lot of people listen to what he has to say as cisco is uniquely positioned to read the world economy. >>> after the bell i'll be going toe to toe with the champ. >> pay-per-view. >> former heavyweight champion of of the world, mike tyson sits down with me. he's gotten off the canvas of bankruptcy and now taking on the challenge of publishing and theater. we'll be right back. stay with us for mike sti tye son.

we're watching the nasdaq. ike it's going to close above 4,000 for the first time since september of 2000. >> waiting for your return, as you say. almost feels like happy days here again for the nasdaq. question is, are they too happy? is there signs of froth in the market? talk of another bubble? it looks like today is the day, as bill said, will close above 4,000. >>> after the bell, new jersey no longer hedging its bets. it's going all in on online gaming. we'll see if any gaming stocks are worth gambling on. i'm a careful investor. when you do what i do, you think about risk. i don't like the ups and downs of the market, but i can't just sit on my cash. i want to be prepared for the long haul. ishares minimum volatility etfs. investments designed for a smoother ride. find out why 9 out of 10 large professional investors choose ishares for their etfs. ishares by blackrock. call 1-800-ishares for a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. read and consider it carefully bef

the nasdaq charging ahead. all of this without getting crushed by the stampede of the bulls? we thought we would bring in dan john, ceo and president with 20 billion in assets under management. a lot of our viewers may own your funds, one in particular caught our eye. nonperforming the benchmark. at the moment year-to-date you're up 26%. year-over-year up 35%. i want to quickly explain what is in this particular fund. >> well, the stock investor. we have here is collection of companies that we and the very large -- with trying to take the best high growth names that they're experiencing positive life cycle changes. the team has done a great job this year. liz: you have amazon, apple, somewhat of a laggard. its problems have been over covered by the success of facebook. $49.2. you like facebook. what would you buy it back? >> we do like facebook. like anyone else, we'd was the idea very carefully. as the stock came down into the lower mid 20's we thought it was attractive. rebuilt the position. really the stock i

have you seen the nasdaq? taking it on the chin worse than anyone on a percentage basis. down more than a percent and a half right now. that exchange lost out on the new york stock exchange for the twitter

the nasdaq. dow is looking to have a better shot of hitting that mark at the moment. >> at the moment. but anything can change. in this market, are we in a bubble territory, far from it? what should you do with this given the kind of gains we've seen since the market bottom of march of 2009? go back to early in the year 2000. in fact, if the teleprompter will keep moving i'll make my case. who's running prompter today? the market isn't up at all. we had this lost decade going back to 2000 where the dow hit 10,000, fell and then finally got back to it a decade later. but are we in bubble territory now that we've gone from 10,000 to 16,000 in just a few years? cnbc contributor ron says there's no bubble in sight. >> hello, bill. >> and michael, it says on the prompter when it moves, he thinks the good times are coming to an end. >> bill's getting mad. i know, bill, he's getting mad. >> there's two of me now. i'm beside myself. hey, ron, how are you doing? >> i'm fine, thank you. >> we hear from more

big management shake-up at the nasdaq. sparino broke the story, as usual, but he's going to talk about not just who's stepping down, but what does it mean for the future of this index and this, of course, is the nasdaq. and we list on the nasdaq. >>> guns invisible to metal detectors' eyes. one city already banning plastic firearms from 3-d printers. one -- look, the atf put this thing together, and it blew up. it's a mess. can you imagine people downloading the blueprints? but it has proven to work, and it is supercontroversial. who's making money off this thing? we're speaking to the founder of the guy who came up with the blueprint be, defense distributed. the first company that makes it possible for you to print a plastic gun. stay tuned. ♪ ♪ ♪ liz: breaking news. a key executive said to leave one of the largest stock market exchanges. why is this important? charlie gasparino breaking the story with the exclusive details does it matter for the stock of nasdaq? >> i think it does. when you lose a guy as good as eric nola

connell: what do you think of the headline nasdaq 4000. have to see what year we are in. >> it took a long time to get over 4000 we have not made it to a new high yet. 13 years in the bull market. essentially 13 years since nasdaq 8000 in march 2000. driving over the last two, three years were not in existence in about 299, 2000. connell: it seems like a long time ago. >> i would like to mention some important technology stocks like intel, cisco, lower today than in 2010, three years ago. ibm is lower than 2011. so the market has been in a way very selective. connell: that is absolutely true, we are showing some of them, twitter earlier and linkedin. it has been selective and the headline to go back just to quickly recap 3% on the note, watch that in the bond market. thank you as always for calling in. >> thank you very much. connell: more coming up on the engine worries in the sky. boeing with specific instructions not to fly some of its planes through storms. some of the top hospitals meantime are cutting staff. this is more fallout from

all-time high for the dow just shy for the nasdaq -- for the s&p and the nasdaq lower today. our of the "closing bell" with maria. see you tomorrow. >> and it is 4:00 on wall street. do you know where your money is? hi, everybody. i'm maria bartiromo on the floor of the new york stock exchange, a big rally for stocks pushing the dow into uncharted territory as we await the pricing for twitter ipo. it could happen at any moment. we are on it and bring you details as soon as thathas. we are in touch. meanwhile, take a look at how we're finishesing the day. another record setter. dow at 15,745. yes, that would be an all-time high closing high for the dow up 127 points on the dow, the nasdaq was under selling pressure interestingly enough,

take a look at the nasdaq, well above the 4,000 mark and up almost 35% in a year. right now, up a half a percent or 21 -- almost 22 points at 4,016.43. sheila dharmarajan is in times square and starts us with our coverage. >> hey there, nasdaq firmly above the 4 k level around 4,016 and in part due to some big gains by apple up by more than 1.5%. google and amazon hitting new all-time highs. remember, we haven't seen nasdaq 4,000 since 2000 so we thought it would be worth to take a look at how nasdaq 4k is now versus how it was back then. back then remember, companies could go profitable if you just had eyeball accounts or a dotcom in your title. right now nasdaq companies are much more mature and based on profits. so take a look at the nasdaq 100. 51% of those names actually pay a dividend to their shareholders. about half of those names have a dividend yield above 2%. back in the go-go tech days only 11% of the nasdaq 100 actually paid a dividend. now the biggest difference between the nasdaq 4k now versus nasdaq 4k then, valuation. so right now the nasdaq is tra

the dow and nasdaq in positive territory and the s&p down. the nasdaq broached 4,000 for the first time in 13 years, closed below it, but it did breach that mark. cnbc's geoff cutmore is live for us in london. geoff, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you. that, of course, is the source of a lot of conversations at the moment on trading floors and elsewhere. 32% up side for the nasdaq this year is the tech-heavy index overvalued and back in bubble territory? well, you do the price-to-sales, you do the pe, you look at the cash on the balance sheets at these technology companies, and even though we've had so much up side, brian, it is difficult to make a case on those metrics to say that this market is currently overvalued on those numbers. and i talked to one analyst who said if you were to inflation this and look at 5,000 on the nasdaq, which would take us back somewhere to the all-time highs of 2000, on an inflationary adjustment, we should be at 6,800. so, he thinks there's certain amount of up side on this market so far. i wan

at the nasdaq, at least. ll you why coming up. >>> after the bell, we'll tell you about what could be one of the biggest sellers for christmas. the new playstation 4. andrew house will join me hours before it goes on sale today. back in a moment.

nasdaq still is in flux. we don't know about the future of nasdaq. ou go into that kind of unknown future, it is something that should weigh on the stock a little bit. adam: charlie gasparino, thank you very much. time to go back to the floor of the new york stock exchange. mark newton of grey wolf execution partners is in this and joins us. mark, quick question for you, i was reading a report that a lot of bank stocks are going to have to deal, jpmorgan chase, wells fargo, with equity lines of credit going a bad to a greater degree next year expect year after that. of are we seeing any of this reflected in bank stocks just yet? >> well, surprisingly, i mean, bank stocks have been some of the best performers for the month of september, and we've seen a rally just in the last month for financials, really the third best so far, and they have, of course, led year to date. if you remember, they've been suffering really since july, since interest rates started to take off and continue b to under pressure. so as long as that trend in interest rates is highe

first of all, the head of nasdaq didn't get fired. he was on an aplane right after the facebook ipo started. >> but in the meantime, he made the nasdaq better. he fixed the poblems because, guess what, twitter and other ipos have now moved to the new rk stock exchange. so competition makes h better. >> we are complaining an others are complaining of the white house. competition. >> it will get better o. >> not because we are complaining, it's because he lost money. it's t competition. >> your original point, the administraon doesn't admit miakes. say your underlings are afraid to bring up problems. people are afraid to tell the eme emperor he's nude, right? >> he didn't know what was going on in ben ghazi. you didn't kw what we were listening to angela merkel's phone calls. you didn't know anything with the nsa. >> or theirs. >> you can breed an smeers where you don't know anying, but it's a terrible atmosphere. >> by the end of the week when he's apologizing and saying he's sorry -- >> did he apologize? >> you had democratic senators

have you seen the nasdaq? composite index taking it on the chin worse than anyone on a percentage basis. down more than a percent and a half right now. that exchange lost out on the new york stock exchange for the twitter ipo. but something's going on with technology stocks. they have been going south for the last week. as the blue chips were going higher. even though that's not happening today. we're going to look into that coming up. >> a lot of momentum names really rolling over. momentum really romming over. we continue to follow twitter's amazing first day of trading today. the stock jumping the moment it began trading. just before 11:00 a.m. is when it opened. ipo price was $26 a share which was priced last night. a huge move today. 86% on the upside. we are going to welcome to the program dan niles later on, ask him what he thinks about this. if this momentum can last. he nailed it on facebook. a lot of people want to know what he says about twitter. coming up later on "closing bell." >> looking forward

>> yeah, the nasdaq is only about 50% technology, the nasdaq 100. you got to keep in mind the big cap tech stocks that people associate with the nasdaq have largely not had good years. apple has been a big underperformer. a lot has to do with this renew slowdown. they can't find a way to grow. so i would continue to avoid them. you think about cisco with revenue less than 2% per year. you know, even hewlett packard had a negative revenue growth line. i would be looking at the solar names. i think this is an underappreciated segment of the nasdaq, of the tech sector. i think there is a lot more room here tan in the most growth stories over the next five to ten years. think of solar, a company just delivered 140% upside surprise on earnings, trading only 16 times forward estimateles. it's already off 12% from the high. that's an example of where there is room to make money in my view. >> there is so much chatzky these days about a bubble. are we seeing a bubble? bubble this, bubble that? when you take a look at these high growth momentums that have se

check out the tech-heavy nasdaq. eptember of 2000. here it goes, 4,001.69. back then that was when alan greenspan was head of the federal reserve, the average price of a movie ticket -- depressing, $5.40. and doesn't really matter by janet jackson was the number one song on the billboard charts. that's a little trip down memory lane. what definitely matters is what's leading the nasdaq to a 13-year high. we've got sears holding, not a name you'd likely expect because they have struggled over the past ten years, but it is seeing a jump of 6.5 percent to $65.36. invidia, google, those are the tech names or at least the biotech that's kind of the outlier there. we're also watching the price of light sweet crude after a major agreement was reached with iran over its nuclear ambitions. all kinds of issues with relaxing perhaps some sanctions here and there. it's still up for debate, till going to be molded, but right now the price of light sweet crude falling just 70 cents and, in fact, we have been lower. you see the red

all-time high for the dow just shy for the nasdaq -- for the s&p and the nasdaq lower today. stay tuned for the pricing of kwit on the second hour of the "closing bell" with maria. see you tomorrow. >> and it is 4:00 on wall street. do you know where your money is? hi, everybody. i'm maria bartiromo on the floor of the new york stock exchange a big rally for stocks pushing the dow into uncharted territory as we await the pricing for twitter ipo. it could happen at any moment. we are on it and bring you details as soon as thathas. we are in touch. meanwhile, take a look at how we're finishesing the day. another record setter. dow at 15,745. yes, that would be an all-time high closing high for the dow up 127 points on the dow the nasdaq was under selling pressure interestingly enough some people speculating that certain big funds were selling some tech stocks to raise cash to buy twitter. tonight and tomorrow so the nasdaq was down 8 points and s&p 500 up 7.5 points. very close to its all-time high as well. meanwhile, the dow crossing a fresh all-time high and s&p ending near a

so watch out for santa claus's cheer at the nasdaq. >> coming early this year. thank you very much, sheila. >>> what got buried in all of the obama care news this afternoon is that a u.n. inspection report shows that iran has basically halted nuclear expansion. the international atomic energy agency says iran's stockpile of higher grade enriched uranium has slowly risen since president rouhani's administration. but just a moment ago benjamin netanyahu says he is not buying any of this. >>> meantime, fighting in iraq seems to be getting worse. libyan oil production is rising, but still very low. opec production is down. and now saudi arabia is getting angry over iran. simply put, the middle east is a mess. let's try to figure it out. joining us is chief economist at tygress financial partners. you've got a lot of titles, but you've been to the region, spent a lot of time there. you know what's going on. i can't figure out -- when i hear that now saudi arabia is rattling its sabre over iran, i'm thinking who's on whose side? what's the puzzle piece here? >> you bri

the nasdaq dropping a bit today. there are several reasons why and you see that steep intraday fold. it's not all that dramatic, 13 points, it was higher earlier and then fell off the table. sheila dharmarajan is at the nasdaq. >> tyler, very unusual. you rarely see the nasdaq down on a day when the s&p and dow are so strong. but that's what we are seeing today, both the nasdaq 100 and composite down about .3%. a lot of selling happening. tesla, down more than 15%. of course that earnings report that deliveries number perhaps disappointing investors. you're seeing that pull down the index. also vareissic an lytics, down more than 8% after its earnings report. that stock down below its 200 day moving average. have to mention apple that stock down about .6 %. not the big declines we saw in the other names but, of course, having a huge impact on the index. when i talk to traders what's happening at the nasdaq they say it's a tough tape. they say these high beta stocks are now downlet that are gic, not a great combination

the nasdaq -- s&p above 1800 for the first time and nasdaq ten points from 10,000. the second hour of the "closing bell" with maria bartiromo. have a good weekend. >> there is no stopping this rally! the dow and the s&p 500 closing at all-time highs once again. hi, everybody, it's 4:00 on wall street. do you know where your money is? welcome back to the "closing bell." i'm maria bartiromo on the floor of the new york stock exchange on a record-setting friday. take a look at the numbers. dow jones industrial finishing with a gain of 5 3 points, and all-time high market down 16,063 and change on the dow. the nasdaq up 22 points. s&p 500 also at an all-time high. finishing above 1800 at 1804. never seen t a

and we're down 1.3% on the nasdaq. ig movement in yields earlier this morning on that gdp report. how are inc. thises looking now? >> reporter: the gdp report was better than expected, but it definitely seems as though the biggest input of the day, the input was the ecb cutting rates. and that moved all markets. but much temporary. if you look at the stock markets in europe and even our stock market, the dax was the only one that closed up. the cac didn't, ftse didn't, our market turned around based on those benefits. look at a chart of 5s and 10s, each down 4 basis points. don't want to dismiss that, but part of that is getting on track, that as stocks move lower, i would expect a little purchase going on in treasuries. but the yield curve hasn't changed. still 26-month high on the difference between those two yields. if you look at europe, it was down six basis points, one basis point away from the lowest level on a closing basis since august. and of course, the last chart is the euro currency. no surprise there. it i

the nasdaq -- s&p above 1800 for the first time and nasdaq ten points from 10,000. the last time the second hour of the "closing bell" with maria bartiromo. have a good weekend. >> there is no stopping this rally! the dow and the s&p 500 closing at all-time highs once again. hi, everybody, it's 4:00 on wall street. do you know where your money is? welcome back to the "closing bell." i'm maria bartiromo on the floor of the new york stock exchange on a record-setting friday. take a look at the numbers. dow jones industrial finishing with a gain of 5 3 points and all-time high market down 16,063 and change on the dow. the nasdaq up 22 points. s&p 500 also at an all-time high. finishing above 1800 at 1804. never seen that at the close. standard & poor's at 1804 tonight. it was another record-setting week for the dow and the s&p 500. with the s&p finishing above 1800, first time ever. dominic chu recapping all the action and the highlights. also highlighting a few red flags investors need to know about. over to you. >> thanks. let's put it in context for you viewers about

exact same names that led the nasdaq higher. everyone focused on the momentum stocks. >> sheila, thanks. dan, i'm curious, why is it we're seeing some momentum coming out of the market today? >> listen, you focus in on any one particular area of the market. in this case the social media names and other high fliers and you'll see weakness. con conversely, you look at broad -- >> it could have been different had we closed ten minutes earlier. >> that's true. in the face of tesla's monumental decline and a number of other stocks that have suffered, in particular twitter, obviously, since its ipo, the market is up north of 1800, new highs, give or take. the broader market is doing fairly well in the face of weakness in individual stocks. >> you're smiling. >> i have another name for these stocks. i call them the rob ford stocks because anyone who buys the valuation must be smoking crack. they're completely overvalued. i think as we head into the end of the year you'll see people reshuffling portfolios riskier names may be coming out,

it's the most anticipated ipo since facebook last year which flopped and its debut over at the nasdaq because it was marred with technical problems. twitter is hoping for better. it begins trading at $26 a share valuing the money losing 7-year-old company at $18 billion and that values the 238 million customers at $78 each. a higher open following yesterday's record run. up 128. nasdaq down 8. another video rental store bites the dust. blockbuster is closing its doors a victim of the digital age. it will shut down its remaining 300 stores early next year. ities dvd by mail business will close next month but its on-
