I mean, right, here we go again. A banner decade, a banner year and month for stocks and were up again. Dow is up 160, s p you up 18 andahalf, nasdaq up 63 and volume may pick up today.

Everything your trip needs, for everyone you love. Expedia. Cheryl ups is gearing up for whats expected to be another record day on whats known as National Returns day. Ups is estimating that shoppers will send 1. 9 million packages back to retailers. Thats a 26 increase from 2018. Eva herzog, retail analyst is here. Are you surprised about the amount of packages being returned. 26 jump is a large number. When you think about how people are spending, especially the younger jen ar generations,s all online. Glen z is the most likely genz is most likely to send back packages. Theyre getting advertised to via twitter and facebook and thats how they obtain their gifts. The way people are able to find gifts, returns are so much easier these days, that its easy. You have free returns, free shipping, so why not take advantage of that. Cheryl thats going to squeeze the retailers on the one side. But also, clothing is the main return returned item and it seems thats a sizing issue. Theres so many different sizes for all of these retailers. Thats something they would want to work on. You would think, right. This is something they could zero in on. Because it is so easy for the flow of items to go back and forth, people can take look at what amazon has done with their amazon fashion. You can lit literally get a buf clothes shipped to you, you can try it on and ship it back to them, everything you dont end up buying or dont want. Retailers are understanding that is the new way that people are shopping and so theyre baking that into their Business Models. Cheryl overall retailless sales foretailless retail sals up 3. 4 year over year. What are you looking at for 2020 as far as the retail sector. I was looking at the retail index in terms of stocks, thats was up 25 . While were seeing all of this consolidation of retailers, thats really just a business move. So when you see all these retailers shutting down, of course were all no, sir take no see the anchor stores leave the malls, its really them consolidating and getting smaller. Post recession in 2008, retailers thought if they got bigger, it would be better because people would be shopping the l same way. Thats actually not the case. With them getting smaller, its a Good Business move. Cheryl. Cheryl it seems thereg to be more of a squeeze for brick and a mortar in 2020. We talked about showrooming years ago. I think retailers are moving more towards that. Although you do have some retailers like nordstrom, for example, which is up the street over here, thats about the experiential shopping. We could go in there tomorrow, get a pair of shoes, get something to eat, have a drink, and basically they want us to stay there and continue to shop. So were going to see a lot more stores do that type of cheryl does that work, though . Nordstrom, youre talking about the one in midtown manhattan which is huge and seeing that nordstroms go up was a bit of a surprise a lot of us. That is their flagship store. When you look at nordstrom same store sales, sales quarterly gone up consistently. Nordstrom is one of the only retailers that have had positive returns when it comes to their stock and in terms of revenue as well. Cheryl thats interesting. Were looking at a one month chart of nordstrom. That stock has jumped exp exponentially. Any other major retailers going to shut down this year . Sears is hanging on just slightly. Weve known that. Weve seen Eddie Lampert trying to reimagine the Business Model of the stores. So maybe jc penney. If they cant get their same store sales up in the next two to three years, were probably going to see more consolidation on that front. Cheryl its going to be another fascinating year for retail definitely this year. Absolutely. Cheryl ed good to see you. Lauren i have not one return. Cheryl good. Lauren lets take a look at your money this morning. Starting off 2020, strong rally here, half percent gains for the dow, s p, nasdaq up three quarters of 1 this thursday. Coming up, california taking steps to protect its citizens online, the new law that puts you back in control of your privacy but everyone is happy but not everyone is happy about it. Keep it here on fbn a. M. Ive got a peaceful, easy feeling. And i know you wont let me down. Nd nights out of sync, nd nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. Talk to your doctor, and call 8442142424. [ drathis holiday. Ahhhhh ahhhhh a distant friend returns. Elliott. You came back and while lots of things have changed. Wooooah woah its called the internet. Some things havent. Get ready for a reunion 3 million light years in the making. Woohoo yeah lauren several laws went into effect yesterday, the new year, and a new one to protect personal data online went into effect yesterday in california. Cheryl joining us now, brett larson. Happy new year. Happy new year. Cheryl explain the law the to everyone. We all remember when the European Union did the gdpr, the general data protection. This is sort of like that, but not like that at a all all, if t makes any sense. Its the California Consumer privacy act, affects people who live in california. Its become a quagmire for Online Companies because not everyone lives in california. Theres become a double set of rules for consumers based on where they are. It allows consumers in call california to reach out to companies, facebook, twitter, google, and say i want to opt out of the data you collect me on and i want to see everything you have about me. Think of it like when you go to equifax or trans union and say i want to know i know what my credit score is, but i want to know all the data that went into making that number and they give you a copy of your credit report. Its becoming problematic for what we said off the top. If you live in nebraska, you dont have that access and so now weve got this sort of double issue for people who live in different places. Cheryl im thinking the companies are pretty frustrated by this. Companies are very frustrated. Cheryl its anybody that has a california customer, you can do business in virginia and a california customer you have to have a certain amount of revenue, a certain number 50,000 consumers have to be in california and then the law applies to you. So its lauren is this good or bad . I think its a good step in terms of were finally talking about legislating data privacy. I dont think this is the solution. I was at an email conference late last year and a lot of the email marketers and people that work in the industry are saying its just such a mess and you have to get in on it and you have to start supporting it today and theres all these clauses in it. So we need everybody to sit down at the table and talk about what do we want we know facebook makes money off selling every last data point of our life, everywhere weve been, its rolled into a neat little ball that sells us advertising. We dont know what goes into that neat little ball and we dont know what else were collecting on us. Its a lot to tackle in one simple piece of legislation. Lauren Artificial Intelligence is doing a really good job at looking at at scans and predicting illnesses. Google is doing a lot of work with this for cancer. Google has been doing Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer. We hear about Artificial Intelligence in medicine a lot. Humans can look at xrays and mammograms and output of cancer screening. Cheryl Breast Cancer, right . This is specific to Breast Cancer. Theres a chance you could miss it and theres a chance you might say it is Breast Cancer when its not. Thats a human thats totally part of us being human. We are imperfect. Google is working ai to work with the radiologist. Theyre not saying were going to put your mammogram through Artificial Intelligence and whatever it tells us were going to go with. Cheryl the machine did a better job than the doctors. I think thats whats kind of it does. Cheryl i dont know if thats good or bad. A machine is going to look for a pattern and its going to constantly look for that pattern. A person is going to look for what they know and use gut instincts based on experience. I think this is great. Ibm talks about this a lot, talking about watson and art initial intelligence. They Artificial Intelligence. They want Artificial Intelligence to work alongside us to make us do our jobs better. In medicine, i think were going to see amazing advancements in Artificial Intelligence. Lauren man and machine. Man and machine, thats the way it should work. Cheryl thank you very much. Someone has to plug the machine in. Cheryl anything to stop Breast Cancer in this country, in the world would be amazing. The number two killer of women in the us, second to lung cancer. Anything we can do to get ahead of it, fantastic news. Cheryl thank you. Lauren you can catch brett on fox News Headlines 24 7, on sirius xm channel 115. The nasdaq is up 66 right now.

Cheryl heres the morning cheat sheet, the top headlines to get you through the day. The u. S. Is sending 750 troops to iraq after violent protesters attack the u. S. Embassy. Looking back at the markets in 2019, the dow up 173 , the s p 500 up 189 , the nasdaq, what a decade, up 295 over the last 10 years. The bull run actually may continue this morning, futures are higher today. Democratic candidate for president , mayor Pete Buttigieg, raised nearly 25 million in the last quarter of 2019 as primary season gets into full gear. Lauren the two day siege outside the u. S. Embassy in iraq may have ende end but the unresy be r far from over. Hundreds of troops are going to the middle east, many more told to pack their bags. Were joined by Research Fellow ben ham telablu. I want to back up a little bit. Happy new year to you. How exactly were those demonstrators able to get so r far and into the embassy. Where was iraq in pap patrolline situation, helping the u. S. . Thats an excellent question. Theres pictures on social media that have members of the Iraqi Security forces in military fatigues, some even have patches, if you zoom in closely, that could be part of different units, special units of iraq Security Forces. So at best, to be charitable to baghdad, these Security Forces turned a blind eye. If you look at the videos and some of the pictures that have come out, they aided and abetted the people who swarmed the u. S. Embassy. Its crucial not to call these people protesters per se because really theres about 5 to 6 you thousand reported throughout baghdad and these people are part of irans agent of foreign influence, part of the proiran network and theyre yelling death to america when hundreds of thousands of iraqis since october are yelling iran out. Theyre a minority but are part of the network. Lauren we have troops on the way to iraq. Mike pompeo saying those troops arent going anywhere. Iran wants the u. S. Out of iraq. Do you see that happening, because this has to be a very entrintricate strategy. The white house needs to know how to do layering here. Its adding more troops to the southern part of the persian gulf, some of the bases the u. S. Has there. Iraq matters. Iraq is going to be one of those countries in 2020 where the iranians are going to look to use toe cost tactics low cost tactics toss have a high cost on u. S. Assets and allies. An Embassy Attack can be expected to continue in the future. So sending in more troops is a good signal of resolve. The question is, will it be enough to he deter the iranians and the iran backed militias in the country. Lauren Morgan Ortagus says dont confuse the president s patience with weakness. What is the appetite for conflict in an Election Year . Fortunately, no one is talking about a direct conflict with iran. The president every time he is talking about layering in on more sanctions, the primary tool of the maximum Pressure Campaign that is successfully wielded against iran. Its a nonmilitary tool. The u. S. Has been absorbing Morgan Ortagus said much escalation for the past six months. The sanctions are so effective and iran remains commi committea revisionist Foreign Policy. Washington needs to stay the course and when necessary push back against the iran backed groups with requisite force. Lauren thank you so much for your perspective. My pleasure. Thank you. Cheryl lets take a look at how your money were going to have a good day today. Lauren seems like it. Cheryl no one should be tired of seeing green arrows. Dow is up 171 now.

The president ial hopefuls boasting big fund raising numbers. A new ranking shows joe biden poised to take the nomination. Cheryl Aishah Hasnie joins us now, one month before the first caucus. Good morning. Reporter good morning, lauren and cheryl. Its crunch time and were still not seeing that one candidate with all the cards on the table. Lets follow the money first for you. Buttigieg raising 120 million in 2019. Joe biden with 15 million. Andrew yang warning not to count him out just yet. We are going to break 12. 5 by a significant margin. The announcement should come out soon. I think people will be pleasantly surprised and shocked by the fund raising total. Reporter well see what happens with that. That is the money side. Lets talk about the national polls, theyre painting a much different story here. According to real clear politics and data site 538 former vp biden is still ahead by a significant 10 points there. The hill ranking sanders, warren, butt good evenin in the. Tulsi gabbard is near the bottom of the list but these not out. She tried to make a splash, hitting the freezing waves of New Hampshire on new years day. Comedian adam corolla thinks gabbard has a shot at being the democratic nominee. It would be more Tulsi Gabbard type of authenticity with dignity and more middle of the road approach to politics. I think it will be someone a little closerrer to the center. An andrew yang type or whatever, who is a much different version but very authentic. Reporter were still supposed to get Bernie Sanders numbers, his money, fund raising numbers in the next 20 minutes. Were one month you away now from the Iowa Caucuses and it looks like its anyones game or at least thats what the candidates would tell you. Back to you. Lauren thank you very much. Were going to pick it up from there, here to break down what this means Going Forward in the 2020 democratic president ial primary is former gop congressman, jack kings tston and democratic strategist, max burns. Max, i want to start with you. Big year for Pete Buttigieg. No one heard of him a year ago, he had very little money. Now hes really surging financially and po popularly. Why do you think hes surging . Do you think its from big money donors. As youve seen from his fund raising in q3 and q4, between 2 and 4 million donations, the average donation, around 35, 38. What youre seeing here is actually i think a lot of people, at least with their money, expressing concern with joe biden and looking at a younger, more moderate individual for this. If you look at 2018, all the races democrats flipped or trumpleaning districts and thats a demographic Pete Buttigieg has targeted and taken away from joe biden in a way that started to cause the Biden Campaign a bit of concern. Lauren jack, what exactly happens in iowa, then . Because joe biden doesnt have the lead there. Jack . All right. Were going to try to get jacks audio hooked up. Ill ask you that question, max. Does Pete Buttigieg win iowa . Does it matter . If you look at polls nationally, biden has the lead in nevada and South Carolina, but not the first states. So how does this play out . Thats a challenge for joe biden. Any time you have a wide race like this and you have the frontrunners campaign saying theyre not going to contest the first two or three states, thats a worrisome position. And right now it looks like Pete Buttigieg is likely to take iowa pretty handily. I would expect even Amy Klobuchar to do better than is expected. And as we saw in 2018 with hillary clinton, her lead in South Carolina evaporated after she lost iowa and thats something that the Biden Campaign is concerned about as well with his firewall in South Carolina evaporating. Lauren jack, let me bring you in here. How sturdy is joe biden as a candidate . Jack . Okay. Max, you and i are going to finish this interview up. I want you to listen to something that joe biden said. He said it about a key state for 2020, also a coal producing state. Listen and well talk on the other side. He asked me toward the end of our administration, joeys going to determine what the jobs of the future are. Anybody could go down 300 to 3,000 feet in a mine, could learn how to program as well. Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for gods sake. Lauren coal miners can code. Is that tone deaf . Would you call that a gaffe . Joe biden, they dont throw coal into furnaces in the mines. This is such a weird way of saying something that is getting at a good point but its typical joe biden, its a blunder. Weve seen coal mines and coal factories have really reduced over the last 10 years. 10 years ago coal mines in america were sending coal to 156 plants around the world. This year, there are about 51. But the answer isnt to say learn how to code. I think for years now thats been viewed as conne condescendd outoftouch. There are job Training Programs going on, some in west virginia. To say learn to code, its essentially the build the wall of the left. Yoit shows a lack of attention o a complex and important issue. Lauren karl rove says the election comes down to pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin so that messages resonates that joe biden was giving. Max, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Lauren i appreciated my conversation with just you. Cheryl our thanks to jack as well. Lets take a look at your money this morning. Weve actually got green arrows. Were kicking off the year strong start to your markets. The dow is up 177, s p up 19 andahalf, nasdaq is up 68. Weve got a lot more coming up. 2019 was a great year for the markets.

Cheryl it is the first trading day of the new year and we are kicking off after stocks soared in 2019, racking up the best annual gains in six years. Our next guest says the trend is your friend and the trend seems to be up. Jonathan hoenig, a fox business contributor is here. Happy new year. Great to be with you. Happy new year. Cheryl i know you like the numbers for the decade. It was an incredible bull run for markets over the last 10 years. Everyone is wondering if the momentum can continue. Look at the first trading day of new year, it seems to be as you said, the trend is your friend. That wall of worry that stocks climbed in 2019, everything from trade to issues in the middle east, thats still there. What happened in 2019. The u. S. Essentially became a safe haven, those big blue chips like apple up 85 , or microsoft, also killing it in 2019. Those two stocks accounted for about 15 of the entire indices gain in 2019. I expect those trends will continue. One of the positive things we saw, cheryl, was the rally in fact broadened out as the year continued and Fourth Quarter you saw banks, you saw Health Insurance companies and Health Providers do real well as well. The trend is up. I dont think you should be fearless in 2020. I think its a good time to get your financial house in order. Were due for a correction. By all stretches of the imagination, the rally is on and set to continue in 2020. Cheryl im glad you brought up the issue of a possible correction. What goes up must come down at some point. Sometimes that can be a healthy thing. If we were to have a little bit of a pullback in 2020, when do you think that might be . Second quarter . Third quarter . . Certainly no one expected the christmas pullback in 2018 that scared a lot of investors. Its impossible to tell. As we do know, it is coming. We are in a historic expansion. One thing different now in 2020 thats markedly different than 10 years ago was that question of fear. Ten years ago people didnt want anything to do with stocks. There was a tremendous amount of fear. Now in 2020 theres more bullishness thats a contrarian sign. My one word of advice as we come into 2020 is to get your financial house in order. Pay down the debt, put that Emergency Fund in the bank and know that when the correction comes, youre prepared. Cheryl we were just were looking at a one year chart of netflix. That was one of the biggest stories of the decade, the 4,000 year run for netflix. Theres a lot of commentary that menetflix because of the new competition that this stock will be a problem in 2020. Its all about innovation. Thats what makes a netflix as opposed to a my space. Netflix started the decade sending out dvds, end of the decdeck aid creating their dd aid creating decade creating their own content. Companies who innovate the services that we dont know we need, whether it be apple, netflix, microsoft, perhaps companies that havent gone ipo yet, this will be an amazing decade of innovation for the u. S. Cheryl i know you like gold in 2020. I think gold is an interesting prediction from you. I was looking at a note from l Goldman Sachs and bmo capital markets, theyre predicting more than a 5 gain in 2020 for the s p 500. I think its easily doable. But its a long year, cheryl. A lot will happen. Keep in mind, all the risk factors, many we say in 2019, it bwhether it be election, trade fears or potential for rising Interest Rates, a lot can happen in 2020. Its a great time to get your financial house in order so youre prepared no matter what happens. Cheryl i keep saying, is anybody tired of seeing green arrows. I guess not. Have a great start to the knee. 2019 was a safe year for air travel despite one high profile crash. A Consulting Group says large commercial plane crashes fell by more than 50 . There were eight fatal incidents that resulted in 257 deaths, one which was the boeing 737 max jet in ethiopia, the second crash of that model in less tha than five months. David stern has died.
