joining us tobias levkovich. good to see you.we jump to next year you and the rest of the wall street strategist community were not optimistic enough in 2014. what did you miss? >> partially was this late year santa claus rally. i'm not sure we'll keep as there are problems the market will jump for next year. >> you predicted how much? >> 2000 this year. >> we overshot that. does it mean that we are borrowing from the gains of 2015? >> we are looking for 2200 2015 commesurate with earnings gains this coming year. in essence, we may have borrowed from next year in the last few weeks. a fairly liquid market. you can push markets when people are sitting on beaches or ski slopes. >> is that equally suspect? >> i think it's more illiquid. it's not an illiquid market generally speaking but where so many people are on vacation. >> discount after two unsuccessful attempts? does this mean nothing? >> look the market is healthier. economy is better. earnings are there. it's more about the relative performance in the case of large caps and

i remember cars ran on gasoline, and spider-man was played by one tobias maguire. ( laughter ) not this new-fangled andrew garfield. ( laughter ) apparently, what we did wasn't torture. and even if it was torture, who can remember all the way...? ( laughter ) but, of course, while it's best not to remember things from that time that implicate us, surely we must never forget the things that will exonerate us. >> it is critical to remember, after the september 11 attacks, the fear of a follow-on attack was pervasive, and it was genuine. the nation was traumatized. >> jon: but we were scared. surely, a temporary state of agitation can be used as a defense of any crime. for instance, my client, mr. jeffrey dahmer, yes, he killed and ate his neighbors, but at the time, he was hungry. ( laughter ) now, as you can see, he's pleasingly full, and his depravity has ceased. ( laughter ) so, we didn't torture. it was so long ago that we don't even really remember, but we do remember being scared. here's how twisted up you have to be to try not to address the reality of our actions. this is former b

the march is organized by father of saint tobias church, who is a gun regulation advocate, and who hasn calling an end to the violence for years now. >> this is not a south side problem. this is a chicago problem. everybody in chicago has to be concerned about the violence. as far as the numbers being down the shootings are up. that's our concern. but if there was one person shot the reality is it's a life. it's a brother, it's a sister, it's a family that's been changed. we want everybody safe. ♪ save our sons, save our daughters ] >> the number of murders in chicagos are down compared to 20 years ago in 1994 when that number was well over 900 murders, ask anybody in these crowds today who have lost loved ones or who are victims of violence they will tell you one homicide in the city is too much. >> thank you, ash har quaraishi. >>> global warming will spark an energy boom. we go to the arctic to a russian coal mine. and a green comet that you may be able to see with the naked eye. >> wall street in big loss. 160 points the s&p lost 21 points. nasdaq 41 points. despite the down day th

tobias harris, an analyst, we appreciate your time. thank you >>> after two weeks of intense negotiations at the u.n. climate meeting in peru delegates agreed on a shared approach to climate change. many decisions have been put on hold until next year. the draft agreement asks countries to submit national plans to tackle global warming. it has to be filed by next year. developed countries have to provide financial support to vulnerable nation, and all countries have to set targets going beyond their current undertaking. nick clark reports from the senate in peru. >> at long last, after endless through the hours wrangling, a resolution. but despite the celebration, many say the document is watered down and very weak. >> this is an incredibly weak decision. so we came in here thinking that we were going to get an ambition text. we had commitment, pledges to the green climate fund, the u.s. and china announcements. what we got was a half baked deal. >> there was nearly no agreement at all. the third draft of the text was rejected out of h

used to major -- he be sergeant tobias. later he was a colonel, now he's retired, but he was tough. not talk back to him. you just didn't talk back to this guy or it was bad, bad trouble. today they would probably arrest him, it would be on the front page of every newspaper. but it was a good place, it was a tough place. i ended up graduating at the highest rank. so i acclimated. you have a climate. it wasn't my climate, but by the time i finished, i graduated at the highest rank. i learned a lot about leadership, and i learned a lot about a lot of things. >> you were an athlete? >> i was. >> you were captain of the baseball team? >> yes. ing d you ever think of be in professional baseball? >> i loved sports. i was on the football team, the wrestling team. not a good wrestler, not a good basketball player. i did not have good jumping ability. i was not able to get up there. i guess i was a good baseball player. i was recruited, and they wanted me to go to major league. it was different. in those days, you made $3. there was no money, no everything. ultimately my father had a busines

so she sent out for his aide decamp kornl tobias lear who then sent out for some doctors and a bloodletterin and what did they do? what kind of treatment? >> well, it was a major modality, back then, humoral physiology was the key to medicine. there were four body humors, black bile, yellow bile, flem and blood. and when you had an inflammation and his throat was sign flamed and couldn't get air through it, they thought if you removed blood, you would reduce the inflammation. so all told his doctors took out about 80 ounce of blood over 12 hours which is about 40% of an adult's blood volume. >> brown: 40%. so is it possible or likely what what they did made his situation worse? >> well, it certainly didn't help him. you know, other treatments they gave him during that @eriod were enemas and drugs to make him vomit and something called blisters where they applied spanish fly on to his throat which raises a painful blister, again to remove these terrible humors that are caution the inflammation. but if the disease itself didn't get george washingtonç, the doctors certainly did. >> brown: we

tobias is chief u.s. strategist at citi. welcome back. nice to see you. >> good to be back. >> you want to put these markets into context with the drop in crude that doesn't seem to want to stop? >> i would say that the -- i've almost run out of energy discussing energy, but we were talking to -- i just got back from europe and we were talking to investors there. it's not just the issue de jour. it's the issue that is dominant. but people are taking this too far in a variety of ways. energy is about 11% of s&p 500. earnings consumer, staples, discretionary are 19%. energy might be 35% of s&p 500 capital spending, less than 10% of u.s. capital spending. energy accounts for maybe 5% of all the job creation in the past five years. people are saying i've heard people saying it's 90%. that's just ludicrous. people are taking this too far. there's a $1.3 trillion transfer from producers to consumers right now. which will have some beneficial impacts. the problem was that we were sitting here in the market with people kind of hoping for that san

we had one major -- he used to be sergeant tobias. at the time. he got promoted to major and later he was a colonel, now he's retired, but he was tough. you could not talk back to him. today, you could not do this, this is a different world. you just didn't talk back to this guy or it was bad, bad trouble. harassment, david: -- today they call it harassment, it would be on the front page of every newspaper. but it was a good place, it was a tough place. i ended up graduating at the highest rank. so i acclimated. you have a climate. it wasn't my climate, but by the time i was there five years and by the time i finished, i graduated at the highest rank. i learned a lot about leadership, and i learned a lot about a lot of things. >> you were an athlete? >> you were captain of the baseball team? >> i was. >> did you ever think of being in professional baseball? >> i loved sports. i always did well at sports. i was on baseball. i was on the football team, the wrestling team. not a good wrestler, not a good basketball player. i did not have good jumping

privately the only time i could find that he gave into frustration was when charles tobias republican from maryland called him the day after it was announced to commiserate and in the midst of his condolences rockefeller cut him off and said as mathias recall that who would want to hang around with them anyway? [laughter] >> my question is regarding nelson rockefeller. i've known his later years his welfare changed greatly and i was wondering in your research did you find that this was genuine evolution? >> we all agree he was a pragmatist. he was not an ideologue. but that works both ways. for example over time when he ran for governor in 1958 he swore to oppose any welfare residency law. in fact he imposed a position on the republican party. by the time he left albany 15 years later he was boasting to the fact that for the first time since world war ii the overall welfare case had been reduced. that is pragmatism. it may also be frankly and 10 with the increasingly conservative ties. room or the conservative party was created on nelson rockefeller's watch and by 1970 it was to elect

we had one major that used to be sergeant tobias at the time. he got promoted over the years to major. now he's actually a colonel and he's very old, but he's a great guy. and he was tough. you didn't talk back to him. today you couldn't do this. this is a different world. but you just didn't talk back to this guy or it was bad, bad trouble. and today they call it harassment, there will be the biggest front page of every newspaper. but it was a good place and it was a tough place. and i ended up graduating at the highest rank, so i acclimated. you know you have to acclimate. you have a climate. it wasn't my climate. but by the time i was there five years and by the time i finished, i graduated at the highest rank and i learned a lot about leadership and i learned a lot about a lot of things. >> you were an athlete, you were the captain of a baseball team. >> i was. >> did you ever think about being a professional baseball player? >> well, i always was somebody that loved sports and i always did well at sports. and i love baseball in particular.
