the consumer market is a little weakened. 3m up 13%, united technologies up 12%. they are naturals to repeat their gains if not do better given strong asian exposure. 3m has been held back by a weak china. they can only improve from here after the tax bill. two well-run companies, perfect proxies for worldwide growth. 11% gains, even the most boring of stocks can generate returns. i think the same gain is in the cards for this year. cisco for all its flaws, still beat the dow by a percentage point. i can't see this company returning to the days of yore, that's not going to happen. but up 8 pr%, it can do that ag. i think it can return to the mid 20s where it closed today. what's with burke falling so far behind and an inferior pfizer going up at least historically. the pipeline needs improvement here or we'll see high single digits again. they will remain the order of the day if not the year until we hear about something that can produce multiple billions of dollars in the out years and i certainly don't see anything in merck's pipeline that can do that. verizon d

united technologies, honeywell, all make a lot of sense. i ple bless the trade and investment. it's a multiyear cycle. >>> jake in new york. jake. >> caller: jim cramer, how are you doing today? >> couldn't be better. how are you? >> caller: i'm doing pretty good. i'm calling about panera bread today. i hopped on the stock's bandwagon and i think it has fwabulous growth potential. but with news on chipotle that food costs are rising, do you think the growth is sustainable and whether this stock is a buy in 2013? >> let's distinguish that. chipotle was expensive stock. both are expensive on price per earrings basis but not on growth basis. panera says very little inflation pressure on their particular products. they have pass ted on price increases. right now, both up a lot. but panera is less expensive with chipotle with a better growth path. >>> joey in flea. >> caller: hey, jim. what are your thoughts on usac? should i put my money in something like this or cvr refining? >> i like cvr refining. my friend dan dickert, knows refining stocks better than anyone likes this one. i

we get data on home prices and big earnings from mcdonald's and united technologies. this afternoon we hear from apple. the dow rising 62 points to 13,712. the nasdaq up eight to 3143. the senate commerce committee is expected to hold a hearing and to u.s. aviation safety in the wake of incidents involving boeing 787 dreamryaner jets. lawmakers want to examine why the f.a.a. allowed boeing to install highly flammable lithium batteries on the 787. u.s. french and japanese authorities are investigating why the batteries failed on recent flights. one forced an emergency landing in japan. that led to a worldwide grounding of the dreamliner. back to you. >> thank you very much. we'll check in later on. >> let's check in on the forecast. christina loren, what are we facing today? >> a little bit of rain. we had a break. no one will complain too much, i hope. well, someone will. that's always the case, but not bad when you consider we have had 20 consecutive days without significant rainfall in the bay area. so that changes today. temperatures this morning are mild. we have

now, maybe neither boeing nor united technology is your thing.orget dave cote's honeywell, which makes smart cockpits. my reservation, the stock has been a rocket ship. and i feel like without a real pullback you will have top ticked this screaming monster. my second theme tonight, yeah, i'm going all in with china. we learned that china's turning on the jets here. claus, who has been to china many times, knows his markets and political science, has told us china was way too restrictive in the monetary policy, that somehow the communist party got caught up on worrying about inflation, not worrying about growth. come on, mao, be like mao for heaven's sake. i think they're still going with the techs, though. that's over. klaus is confident that when the government unveils the plan for growth in february, they're going to dazzle, from a disappointing 8% to a stunning 11%. there's plenty to like if china gets hot in here, and taking off all its clothes, that's ray lewis. you can buy joy global. the chinese are addicted to coal and we know electric us

united technologies also in the list. let's look at the s&p 500. it's ontrack for its eighth straight gain. a winning streak that we haven't seen since november of 2004. what we couldn't get the s&p 500 numbers that were leading the s&p that year, in november of 2004, these are the ones that have led the s&p rally over the last eight days. netflix of course coming out with a very strong quarterly report up 60%. genworth and kla out today with strong numbers as well. the dow looking strong into the close up 49. back to you. >> in fact yes. we are ontrack for the best january for the dow since 1994. a little bit later we'll remind everybody what happened to the markets in 1994. but right now the dow is up 49 points just off the highs of the session. >> okay. is the rally sustainable? harry dent does not think so and actually says this is a market on crack. he'll be here to back it all up. >> also it is said that individual investors are often last to come to the party. is this rally pulling more people into the world of stocks? we'll look at that. >>

today on the calendar, we have mcdonald's, united technologies, motorola solutions, coach, and wellpointjust a few of the names we'll be watching. >>> then after the bell this afternoon, you've got apple coming out. still the world's most valuable public company. the stock fell below $500 last week for the first time in 11 months. shares have fallen nearly 30% since peaking at $705.07 on september 21. that, by the way, the day of the iphone's release. joe? >> okay. thanks. i was saying -- january 23. you know this is the last day it will be january 23 until a year, until next year. you know how we've been saying that about these things, palindromes, we won't see another in -- 2002 for 90 years. at least 12 months before it is january 23. let's head to the economic forum. world economic forum. andrew messaged me with that fact. he is standing by in davos. and andrew, we don't know who you have for guests today. we're more interested in obviously the fashion forward looks you're going to be bringing us. hopefully you're going to have -- >> yeah -- >> every hour. you'll be, you know, like w

united technologies which is to the upside. hitting 52 week highs today. you can see the stock is looking pretty good here today. melissa: thank you so much. lori: that after the bell sure to grab headline reports today. it is care of apple. shares have been trading mostly higher. the bad news we have been expecting may not be that bad at all. shibani joshi is here to tell us what to watch. shibani: if you think this is a tech story, it is not. this stock in the company has the ability to have broad reaching impact across markets. just to give you an idea of how important this biggest market cap, in terms of publicly traded companies has on overall markets, it overall has 9.7%. certain technology industries like the dow jones sector in the amax computer index, right around 20 and 24%. this will move the markets either to the upside or the downside. apple shares on a downward trajectory. down 20% because of concerns of what the quarter will unveil. the numbers that we are looking for 13.47 in terms of earnings per share on revenues of $54.7 billion. lori: t

we own united technologies.panies are not making money on the planes they are making money on the service contracts which are very long. importantly i don't think boeing will stop producing these planes. they will build inventory before they stop because there's a learning curve there. as that happens that's good for suppliers. >> bea aerospace is a good name. >> let's talk apple shares are lower after yesterday's nice rebound. america's most valuable company in the process of bottoming, or is more selling coming? that's the key question ahead of next week's earnings report. joe, i'm going to go to you first. i threw the question out on twitter, right, that the stock had such a nice come back yesterday you wondered if it put in a near term bottom. the price action today may make you suggest otherwise. stock was up pre-market now down half a percent. >> what i'm trying to do is not measure my investment in apple on a day-to-day basis. i want to look at where we are after earning and not trade apple. i don't think

we have data on home prices and more big earnings from the likes of mcdonald's and united technology. this afternoon we hear from apple. the dow rising. the nasdaq up eight. those are the headlines. back to you. >> thank you. some of the god fathers of tech praning a memorial for the young hacker aaron swartz later this week. he took his life as he faced pridsen time for downloading academic papers at m.i.t. some of the people who invented the internet will hold the memorial. i will post the information to the facebook page for more information about that. >> thank you very much, scott. >> it's 5:15 now. we have had a nice run. >> if you want to go for a run you have five hours to do so before the first showers. we're not going to push you. 5:16 now. taking a live look at moisture over san francisco. you can smell the rain out there. significant changes on the way in the bay area forecast. that's stellar sunshine we have been enjoying. that's a thing of the past this afternoon. 44 degrees in livermore. a mild start in san jose. 44 in gilroy. our mildest start in two weeks. high pressu

go for united technologies. dave cody, my next door neighbor, that guy is money. after the close, qualcomm. qualcomm rooney mcfadden, man. this is a company that is uniquely levered and linked to and what we heard is you could argue that the smartphones from become saturated. now they're trading down, not even buying an expensive smartphone. it has to tell us because it's the semi conductor brain for so many of the next generation of smartphones. this is the most important call of the week. and it might be when you can start buying apple if it hasn't bottomed by then. not that i want you in it, but people do keep asking me. and please understand apple is going from growth stock to value stock and that's often an ugly journey, okay? thursday is a day made for mad money. we think light nick could strike. fortune and mantowoc all could take action. either for sale as i like to see with dst, merger which i think could happen with the fortune. through a sale as i'd like to and i think mtw should split itself up into two separate companies. food, service, and cranes. re

disney and united technologies both up better than 9%. hewlett-packard having the best january up 20%. likely on sympathy for a possible dell deal. because h. rks is actually the worst performing dow component in the last ten months. tough times for all of teches. intel and microsoft also seeing big declines. and home depot riding the housing market. and bank of america lifted by financial sentiment. bank of america though, the worst performer since the 2007 rally. down 78% since then. alcoa down almost as much app and hp down 67%. the biggest winner again home depot. ibm and mcdonald's also up more than 60% since 2007. >> which dow 30 stock should you buy today that will be the big winners? joining me with their picks are harry clark and peter taus. good to see you guys. what kind of a move, harry, do you think the dow makes in the next five to six years? >> earlier today jpmorgan strategists had 20,000 for the dell in four years. i think that's entirely possible. we could be at 15,000 this year. i went with several ideas for the future.

don luskin, brian shactman is reporting a lot of the banks have had tremendous performance, united technologies is doing well, staples, pfizer, 3m, johnson & johnson doing well, transports, unbelievable what the transports are doing, airlines, trucks, railroads. in other words, there's so much balance -- i know there's a correction but with all this balance isn't the foundation solid, don luskin? >> it is. it's fine. i'm not trying to tell you that u.s. stocks are going to go down in 2013, i'm just telling you there are faster horses on this track. i was fascinated by the question of whether senator menendez is sleeping with underage prostitutes. i have the answer to that question, it's not a wink. >> nod a wink? i don't know -- >> he's not sleeping with them, it's not a week. >> i no position on the story. i want to make that very, very clear. jim lacamp, what would you be buying now, after this phenomenal week, maybe we're overshooting a bit, how would you be playing it as we go into a new week? >> i like the emerging markets quite a bit. i would be looking to buy hong kong and mexico. here i

the orders for carrier, the carrier division of united technologies, or the elevator orders for otis. so we pay more for the stocks. in the meantime, we know taxes on our dividends aren't going up. they stayed almost the same. that's a remarkable surprise that nobody talks about. but the need to find higher after tax yields is behind the huge move in the big dividend paying drug stocks. it's why we pay more for bristol-myers as we did today or johnson & johnson which kind of hangs in there despite the earnings miss and the horrendous implication of their faulty hip product. it's why we're paying more for the oils, all the oils because more oil will be used when things get better sending the hesses and conocos higher with them. that's how it can be ten points above where it was when it pre-announced a shortfall. and, of course, any uptick in employment has huge implications with autos and for homes where for a couple of years we were building homes at a rate that came in under what we were building when we had half as many people in this country. and it means more businesses for the ba

big names on the list. 3m, united technology, proctor and -- where is herbalife in this?on't know. sue, back to you. >> let's ask the big question. is time now, time to get back into the game, kenny with o'neill securities, jim with jtm, kkm financial ceo and chairman and cio financiales. >>> we went through technical levels. is now the time to get back? ? >> i don't think so. i think the structure of your portfolio should be bullish. in other words you should have a lot of stocks in your portfolio. but i think in the current environme environment, sue, we are talking about slow growth in the economy, slow growth in earnings. in this kind of environment, you have to be tough on price, really tough on your entry point. and as i see it, we are a little bit overvalued and there is widespread optimism. you heard it in prior hour, a lot of optimism. i think quite frankly, what we need now and i hope for, cross my fingers, is about a 10% correction so we get to a level where stocks once again rep represent good value. i have a problem on value now. >> do you have value, jim, do

united technologies. honeywell delivered one more fine quarter today.dy my next-door neighbor. that guy has money. anyway, wild one ahead from after the close. qualcomm rooney mcfadden, man. this is a company that is uniquely levered and linked to am but not really because it's in every single smartphone whether to be like samsung or those guys in nokia that just slashed the dividend. and what we heard wednesday from apple and last night from samsung is a tale of woe that you could argue says smartphones have become saturated. everybody who needs a smartphone has one and now they're even trading down, not even buying expensive smartphones. qualcomm has got a heavy burden as it's going to have to tell us if that's the case, if there really is saturation. it has to tell us because it's the semiconductor brain for so much of the next generation of smartphones. this is the most important call of the week. and it might be when you can start buying apple if it hasn't bottomed by then. not that i want you in it but people do keep asking me. and please understa

many companies raised their revenue guidance last night helping a lot of companies like united technologies and rockwell. remember, alcoa was very bullish on china. that may be helping them as well. the disc drive companies are all to the upside and seagate came out and unexpectedly raised their revenue guidance. that's helping all the companies. the two sectors on the downside are the bank stocks as well as some of the energy names. remember, banks usually sell off, maria, after the earnings season starts, not as we're going into it. that's a little bit unusual. keep an eye on that. nat gas stocks on the downside, nat gas on a multi-month low. maria, back to you. >> breaking news right now. let's get to herb greenberg on herbalife. >> reporter: a multitude of new angles on this story on herbalife, this just crossing. dow jones reporting that the securities and exchange commission has opened an inquiry into herbalife. that doesn't mean anything is necessarily going to occur, but it's an inquiry in the company. the stock on this news is down. last i checked it's down 4%, still coming down, a

united technologies makes the plane auxiliary power unit. no questions have been raised about the engines themselves. general electric is the supplier there. connell: four years, rob, this had been a play that we had talked about because it was being delayed. one plane after another. what do you make of this? >> new air planes always have problems. [talking over each other] connell: i want to ask you a little bit about that technology. you hear this is the future of aviation. everyone will go down this road. what do you know about those batteries and, well, any risks that may be associated with them? >> lithium ion batteries are lighter. that is one of the reasons they are in the airplanes these days. weight is always an issue on any kind of aircraft system anywhere. i mean, they can save 20 pounds here, 40 pounds there and they will do it. what they are also finding out is there are some anomalies with these batteries. that is what we have seen in laptops that have overheated. connell: when this all gets resolved in whatever way it does and

. >> the moment is to sell boeing and buy united technologies, which is in both airbus and boeing. i've got to tell you, the headline risk in boeing is just -- when i saw phil lebeau came on yesterday, i thought, there are no order numbers. >> in their defense today, the head of qatar airlines said if there was a real problem, they would be grounded. >> boeing is the greatest airline company in the world. i was on a boeing plane that got hit by lightning. boom. i thought it was absolutely lightsout. everyone else is like -- we land. boom. you know what? boeing had a second redundant system, turn it back on. boeing's the best engineering company in the world. they'll solve the problem. >> hard to argue with that. which path of profits should you follow today? cramer's on the case. look at the "mad dash" next. sheila bair speaks out about the debt ceiling and would she be willing to become the next treasury secretary? one more look at futures, when we're back in a minute. at 1:45, the aflac duck was brought in with multiple lacerations to the wing and a fractured beak. surgery was su

a unit of united technologies.single cause, but multiple causes? >> well, it's the problem, you can't rule out anything at this point. multiple causes, i don't know, this looks awfully discreet to the battery itself. i think the majority chance is that it's some kind of defective battery batch. it might be this wiring, this installati installation. they'll look at all possibilities. while the architectural is found to be invalid, i think that's exceedingly low. >> in terms of the production, i'm not sure if this is in your universe, but general electric had a conference call on friday in which they said they're standing behind the aircraft. they have not been told by bowing to slow down production of the engines which are going on the 787. is it your guess that they'll have to tell boeing we're not making as much of these? >> well, there's no reason they can't continue to ramp up and get to where they want to get to. getting ten a month was always a bit of a stretch. but at least they can head in that direction. i

united states. today, with evolving technologies, the waste travels through multiple stages of treatment, removing tons of solids... settling out microscopic particles, and introducing bacteria that consume and decompose the toxic material. in some plants, the water is further disinfected through the use of ultraviolet light or ozonation. these plants cost millions of dollars to construct, operate, and maintain. in population centers like los angeles, the scope of the task is staggering. the hyperion wastewater treatment plant serves four million people. it processes 350 million gallons of sewage and removes 500 tons of solids daily. after treatment at hyperion, what was once raw sewage is clean enough to release into santa monica bay. other cities and towns release treated wastewater, or effluent, into local rivers, lakes, and streams. as it flows downstream, additional cities may capture it for drinking water, consume it, and treat the water again. in other words, the water coming out of a wastewater treatment plant often enters the watershed, flows into intakes of drinking water treatment plants, an

air, going to airbus, i've been saying the way to play the aerospace plays, is to go with the united technologynd the other loses, it's just safer. >> a couple of points off a 52-week high here. do you switch over to others? >> i agree. there was a little note underneath us, like right there, oh, like a jimmy kimmel thing. it was the most exciting thing to happen in the game last night. we're just way too concerned with the notion that phil lebeau was going to come on and say something negative, because he covers a thing in a way that i feel like, wow, the dreamliner is not ready yet. >> as we go to break, we did want to let you know that a restaurant pioneer has passed away. mcdonald's honorary chairman and former ceo ted turner died yesterday at the age of 80. he was known for shaping the restaurant into what it is today, for the domestic and international expansion plans. in 1958 he wrote the company's first operations and training manual, which is still the blueprint for restaurant operations today. >> did they talk about him when you did your -- >> he's legend obviously in and out of the m

that's on the back of rumors about a dell buyout, followed by home de bo, united technology and disneyackard up more than 9%. on the down side, though, verizon posting the worst performance, down by about 1.4%. boeing down for the month because of the dreamliner saga. those are the only two names in the red in january. some interesting differences, while the dow itself had gained 11.5rs in the first ten months of 2007, now the index is up 7% for the last ten months leading up to this rally. analysts say there still could be room to run there. in those time periods, caterpillar and home depot were two names you should be watching. home depot the biggest laggard then. biggest gainer now, caterpillar surged 34%, then down greater than 10% in the most recent ten-month period. there's a little bit more caution coming from caterpillar today. valuation is one of the key data points to watch. the current value just above 13 times earnings, around the rally in 2007. the group was valued at 17 times earnings. though the earnings were a little bit lower. melissa? >> thank you very much, kayla tau

door to private investment to do this job of rebuilding the power platform in the united states. >> host: and the technology aspect of that is -- >> guest: the technology aspect is manifold. in the last four years alone, the solar industry has gotten on what they call a moore's law curve meaning price performance improves by roughly two times every 18-24 months. in the last four years, we've gotten ourselves in an innovation cycle in batteries so that by the end of 2020 electric vehicles actually will be price competitive with gas-driven cars. the problem with these things is that we can't wait. we can't wait because of the environmental effects, and we can't wait because we need the economy to grow quickly right now. so the book lays out a whole bunch of different ideas for bringing private investment much, much more quickly into the job of rebuilding the power plant. >> host: reed hundt, recently on this policeman james glans was on this program. he's written a series on some of the new york power plants, and he doesn't necessarily agree that the internet is completely green or is terribly green. what's y
