and here is larry levin joining us from chicago. he warned, be worried, he said, be concerned.t do you make of that? >> well, i guess for one, i don't normally agree with our president, but i agree with him in this case. and he and our congress are playing chicken and unfortunately, we're going to feel it if neither give if or compromise. we get past this debt ceiling, i think it's bad for the market. most of the traders agree with me. most traders don't agree with our president very often, certainly not lightly, but in that case, the markets are in a little bit of trouble. >> we're off and running. thanks, larry. we're off and running. didn't we open sharply lower? we're off 17 points in the have early going. expecting a moderate loss as we move into the trading session, but i want to stay on this issue hereof the president rng with a wall street. liz, i've never seen anything like that before. i've never seen a president address wall street and say, hey, you, be worried if i don't get more money to borrow? >> yeah, scare tactics, and list listen, this isn't is issue of can't

ben lick ten stein is president joining us from chicago.chy are we going to get the next couple of days? >> well, there's obviously a not of nervousness associated with this trade right now. concern about the debt ceiling coming up and obviously as we enter into our second week of shutdown now. the s&p is still up above a couple of key significant levels. for the most part if you look at this market you have to wonder where everybody is that used to be saying we need a bit of a pull back, a bit of a correction because that's really all we're seeing right now. for the most parts that we have seen, all the way back to june, 15:50 met with people. the middle of august we saw the 1619 level. so this is really just a pull back. it could get worse. don't get me wrong. if this market gets initiative to the downside, if it starts to seek value lower below significant areas of value that's established on the up side, that could be concerning. for the most part just a bit of a pull back off the 1726 high we saw. news related associated with the fmoc

jeff flock joins us from chicago to talk about why the storm is having a big impact on the cattle businessle and l that are up, to a record high. take a look at the past five years of feeder cattle, take a look at that, 35 year chart. and in the 90s we had feeder cattle. and up perfect form of events. and we could go, 30 or 60, they're still buried in snow, really takes a bite of out of the herd out there and by the way, live cattle, put the latest prices which are up again. the cattle herd at ts lowest level, smallest cattle herd in the u.s. since the tion of harr in 1952. feeder cattle versus live cattle, feeders of the ones between cavs and slaughter. maybeeyou ought to call them dead cattle but they are called live cattle. we have a lot of dead cattle in south dakota and that was a real problem out there, not only get rid of them, and support for is that. and you call them up in washington and they say sorry. not a good time. ashley: not indeed. jeff flock, said details. ui thinking stick right now. >> i was also thinking how frustrating it must be not only for farmers but small-busine

trading higher at this hour after the dow and s&p finished in record territory: >> >> joining us now from chicago is kevin kerr, the president ceo of kerr trading international. welcome. >> thank you, john. >> what do you attribute the long rally to? >> well, the biggest factor is the cheap money. the low interest rate environment spurred investors to borrow more on margin, we can see it in the numbers. it's showing that. this is increasing as we see the highs. we've been on the bottom since 2009, and stocks have been growing, which is good. it may be getting ahead of itself. we may be facing a correction. >> yes, but what if the fed cuts back on the cheap money that you are talking about? does the bottom fall out of the markets? >> nobody can say for sure. that's the scenario throughout time. ironically we are celebrating the 84th anniversary of the 1929 stock market crash. there are lessons to be learnt. when we see a build-up of people borrowing money, it gets to an infor example point where it can't continue and we see a steep sell-off. that could be where we are headed. >> we have good earni

phil lebeau jans us on the phone from chicago.t else should we be anticipating out of the figures? >> i think the main thing that people will be looking for, louisa, is two things. one, are we starting to see any signs of potential weakness in the united states? and i know that might sound strange to say, given the fact that auto sales have continued to move higher. but the mix might be shifting more towards lower profit cars as opposed to your trucks and suvs which have carried the way for ford or the last year, year and a half. and, really, for all of the automakers. that's not a huge concern, but it is something that wall street will be looking at. whether or not we start to see a bit of a plateau in the u.s. markets in terms of profits and mix. the other issue is what's happening with europe? now, ford has been gradually improving its operations, moving towards break even and then turning a slight profit. we're seeing some encouraging signs over the last, oh, couple of quarters when it comes to europe. and i think the question

joining us now, are my favorite professor, charles lib some from the university of chicago and igor stroll can i from think progress. thanks for joining us. professor lipton, why these misstatements if you want to call them politely, because they hit people's wallet. it is about your money. is that what matters the most? >> that is when it matters the most. the other reason they matter they are flat statements. you can tell when those promises are being broken and one important difference is that when george h.w. bush made that promise, he was making it for some indefinite future. he later broke it about two years later. in the case of president obama, it appears, that he actually knew at the time he was saying it that it was false. but it's a serious problem because people expect the president of the united states to tell them at least what he thinks is the truth. he may be wrong but at least tell us what he thinks is the truth. melissa: igor, isn't that one of the huge problems? buried in the obamacare regulations back in july of 2010 it did say that 40 to 67% of the 14 million customers
