there are two confirmed cases of coronavirus in the united states, one near seattle and the other in chicago. the deadly virus originating in china, killed at least 26 people there, infected more than 900 worldwide. fox news correspondent jonathan serrie has the latest. >> telling you about the second confirmed u.s. case. the patient is described as a woman in her 60s. she's a chicago resident. she had recently traveled to wuhan china. it is the city where the outbreak initially began, originally traced to live animals sold for meat at a market there. a few days after arriving home in chicago, this patient began feeling ill. >> she called ahead to alert her doctor to her illness, rather than just presenting to a clinic or emergency department. this is exactly what any potentially ill returning traveler from wuhan should do, call ahead and seek medical care. >> that's because calling ahead allows medical providers to put proper infection control measures in place, so you're not exposing people in the waiting room, not exposing healthcare providers to this potentially deadly coronavirus. the only other confirmed u.s. case is a man in his 30s who became ill after traveling to central china. he's under quarantine at a hospital outside seattle and is also said to be doing well. according to the cdc, there are 63 u.s. patients in 22 states under investigation for possible, but still unconfirmed coronavirus infection. they include a texas a&m student who developed mild symptoms after returning from wuhan. he's voluntarily isolating himself at home as texas health officials await test results from the cdc. >> if there's a confirmed case, contact tracing will begin and all contacts will be monitored for development of symptoms. >> the vast majority of cases remain in china where health officials report 830 confirmed cases and 26 deaths. the chinese government has expanded full or partial travel lockdowns on at least 10 cities in the province, which includes wuhan. outside that region several popular tourist sites have closed including the forbidden city in beijing and shanghai disneyland. charles, as for the threat to the average american, u.s. health officials say it remains extremely low, but if you have traveled to central china or had contact with someone who did, someone who went there within the past 14 days, because that seems to be the incubation period for this virus, contact your health provider, and once again, call first before you show up in person. charles? charles: great advice, jonathan. thank you very much. american companies are being directly affected by the corona vie routs break -- virus outbreak. mcdonald's has closed stores in china. disney has closed shanghai park. perhaps the biggest economy on our stock market has been oil. take a look at that move, a big percentage move. for more on all of this budding anxiety, i want to bring in capital director of strategy, also cody willard. let me start with you, stacey, how worried are you about what's going on? are you worried enough that you have made changes in your portfolio? >> no, because this is a news item. i think that the markets have been up so high for so long we're looking for any reason to have a break. i feel like people just sort of have their, you know, finger on the trigger button. the markets are selling because often after all-time highs and multiple all-time highs and multiple months of all-time highs it is sort of normal for the markets to take a break. i think that's what's occurring here more than the virus. unless that situation would deteriorate. if it doesn't deteriorate, it will pass. charles: a couple of weeks ago i explained to the audience because we're up so high, you will see 2, 300 point moves that normally you would breathlessly report how everyone is afraid and scared, but right now the percentage move on the dow is fractionally a little bit more than normal down day. that doesn't mean that there's not anxiety and to stacey's point, but the market is so high maybe some folks are looking to leave. how do you adjust, brace yourself for something like this? >> you know, i think you would want to before today if this is a reason to sell at all. frankly i don't know that it's ever made sense to sell stocks because of a healthcare concern, global healthcare concern. i was buying more disney today. that's one of my biggest positions, and i'm buying more of it today on the downturn. charles: disney -- by the way, disney got a downgrade this morning, my man, you know about that. [laughter] cll we'll come back to that. i want to talk earnings. -- charles: we'll come back to that. i want to talk earnings. [laughter] charles: in an environment like this, though, there will be some economic damage, right? i mean, obviously with china shutting down like 35 million people, you know, the oil markets are down. i mean, maybe it's short lived, maybe we pick it up somewhere later on in the year, but between that and what we're seeing with boeing for instance, already seeing gdp numbers starting to go lower and lower. do you make adjustments for that? raise your cash levels? or do you stay the course because you believe in what you own? >> the gdp has been decelerating since the earnings peak in the third quarter of 2018. as our other guest said, i make adjustments way in advance of any kind of news item because if you are trading the news, our bit too late. as far as the virus goes, it's sort of how long it lasts. and then everything falls back to the economic data. charles: are you encouraged by the way china handling it? it is night and day from the sars virus. >> yes, actually, they are being very proactive. i think in general the chinese and u.s. relations and sort of the contagion between all the economies, there's a better awareness about it. charles: let's talk about the earnings, folks. first thing this morning american express reported really good earnings. that was after intel's incredible earnings report last night. that helped the market get off to a strong start. overall earnings have been very impressive. back to what normally drives markets over the last couple of hundred years, it is ultimately about corporate earnings. how do you feel so far with ternings season? -- earnings season? what does it mean for the markets going ahead? >> with intel's report last night and netflix earlier in the week, ibm, even, which is not a very good economic tell, frankly, you take a cumulative look at the earnings so far, they have been strong. you know, charles, you and i have been talking about the fact that this economy might be set up to reaccelerate into the new year because number one, the chinese trade war concerns have subsided a little bit, and because of that, c suites around the world have been on pause, and they are now starting to spend again. i think capital expenditures this year will be stronger than most analysts are expecting. i think the economy might actually accelerate this year. kudlow the other day said we might have 3% growth in the united states gdp. that's possible. charles: on the screen we have the boeing taking a hit. so far 85 companies have reported. 65% revenue, 68% are earnings. it's a little bit better than anticipated but because to your earlier point, the market was priced more or less -- you could argue for perfection, you have to knock it out of the park or you will see your stock pull back. >> you do because basically anybody's ready for these all-time highs to roll over, so if you just miss it a little, i mean look -- charles: i'm seeing companies -- >> -- and selling off. we saw that yesterday actually. you have to look at the long-term trajectory. what cody is saying could be true. we could have a reacceleration with lower comps to kind of take out. we could have that. what's going to be dependent upon that is exactly what he said, cap ex spending, the manufacturing data improving, particularly the ism numbers. that's where we have seen the weakness in the economy. so if all of that weakness is attributed to the china trade deal, we should see a rapid reacceleration. charles: right. >> but i do contend the other side of the story is europe, maxed out in the third quarter of 2017 on earnings. we're a little bit behind the trajectory -- charles: bottom line, though, are you feeling okay about where we are right now with this market? are your concerns overriding your -- the bullishness? >> i'm cautious, and i'm watching the economic data. i will tell you why i'm okay -- we've got the fed working in our favor, don't we? charles: francis and cody, thank you very much. words to live by, cautious and watching the data. we do that for you every single day. you are the best. we will see you. have a great weekend. the doomsday clock is closer than ever to midnight. do you know what that means? we're talking about the smartest scientists in the world think that mankind is closer to self-annihilation than any time in the nuclear age. fox news contributor liz peek will weigh in on that. can't wait to hear on that. president trump speaking at the march for life a short time ago, becoming the first president to do so. and it's one of his first big events after he told the davos elite the time for skepticism is over. i'm going to explain why there are no doubts that his speech, president trump's speech was a winner for all of us. and later in the hour, a seattle homeowner shares his story about a residential firehouse from the city only to be sued by the city. we will be right back. t. rowe price experts go beyond the numbers to examine investment opportunities firsthand, like biotech. because your investments deserve the full story. t. rowe price invest with confidence. beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. nexthi. oh, susan what a surprise, you're here early! you know life line screening assesses your risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. looks like somebody should have gotten screened. life line screening is the easy and affordable way to make you aware of undetected health problems before they hurt you. we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your arteries for plaque that builds up as you age. after all, 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom is a stroke. so if you're over 40, call to schedule an appointment for five painless screenings that go beyond annual checkups. and if you call us today, you'll only pay $149 an over 50% savings. it's affordable and painless and they have convenient locations, like everywhere. everywhere, i know! so avoidable! i didn't know! life line screening. the power of prevention. beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu & doug with this key to the city. [ applause ] it's an honor to tell you that liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. and now we need to get back to work. [ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ charles: social issues, what's dominating everything in our lives now dominating the business world. case in point, goldman sachs starting in july, the investment banking firm will only take a company public if it has at least one diverse board member. and the focus right now they say will be on women. now, this decision comes as more than 60 u.s. and european companies went public in the last two years without a single female board member. fox news contributor liz peek is joining me now. i mean, liz, you know, they are talking the talk, but this kind of stuff -- how can goldman sachs tell a private company who wants to be on their board and they say we're not going to help you raise money to grow the business? i mean this is amazing stuff to me. >> look, capitalism is under attack, and corporations are under attack. this is more by a major corporation. as to the substance of this, i don't like quotas, for sure. i do think most boards recognize that having a diverse group of people on their board makes sense, and i have to say, studies -- i hate the word studies -- have shown that companies do better when they have women on their board. why? they have a different point of view, and sometimes they are less -- they are more risk averse, etc., but i hate quotas, in europe where they have had enormously high requirements for women on boards, it has led to putting on boards people who are not qualified, and then you have resentment that people are earning pretty high salaries for being on these big corporate boards, and they're not really qualified to do it. we have seen that in this country too. so, you know, i understand their need to be loved. no one is going to love goldman sachs no matter what. let's be clear. i think it is a terrible way to go about it. charles: to your point, so many studies have shown diverse boards have better outcomes. if they were encouraging that, that's one thing, but they are saying hey you can't go public until you check this box off, that might be a slippery slope. speaking of slippery slopes, the doomsday clock moving to the closest point to midnight in its 73-year history. folks, we are 100 seconds away from self-annihilation. and the main reason of this existential danger is from climate change. liz, you know, again, just so folks know, you know, these scientists all got together after they detonated the first atomic bomb and they were concerned about ultimately what this could do to mankind. this has always been the gauge of where we are, but now they are saying climate change is a greater threat than at any time, even at the peak of the cold war, are we closest now to killing ourselves off. >> look, this is the kind of globalist institution that despises donald trump and the fact that he wants to look at america and america's interests first and above this kind of international organization i think the problem with climate change and climate change advocates, people who want to really change the way we do our business is this hyperbole, this hysteria, it just has meant most people just tune it out. if we're going to all cease living in 12 years or, you know, this continent is going to be submerged in water, if the doomsday clock is 100 seconds away, honestly, charles, they are beating a drum and no one is listening. in my view, they would be much better off with reasoned arguments and reasoned solutions, as opposed to ban all fossil fuels tomorrow. it's not going to happen. americans don't want it to happen. and it shouldn't happen. this is overstating problems and overstating the potential solutions. the ultimate answer is these people want control, and that is scary to me. charles: i think we would all regret it if we didn't have fossil fuels tomorrow. >> of course. charles: thank you very much, liz. the dow is at the lows of the session. it's been orderly, but it's picking up speed to the down side. meanwhile, as the impeachment frenzy continues, the mainstream media slamming the republican party. they have moved away from trump. so what is the path forward after this madness is over? a congressman will react next. elizabeth warren is speaking out after a frustrated father confronts her about her student loan forgiveness plan. did she actually make things worse? >> [inaudible]. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa charles: break right at this moment, folks, the deadly coronavirus is now in france. the health minister there confirming two cases just moments ago. france and the united states are the only western nations with confirmed cases thus far. of course more are expected to follow. meanwhile, president trump lashing out at democrats over their handling of the impeachment trial, tweeting the do nothing democrats just keep repeating and repeating over and over again the same old stuff on the impeachment hoax. they want to use up all of their time, even though it is the wrong thing to do. they ought to go back to work for our great american people. republicans are now under fire as well. the washington post with an op-ed claiming that the g.o.p. is complaining there's no new impeachment material, while at the same time preventing new testimony in evidence. here now to respond, republican congressman of tennessee. congressman, thank you for showing up. >> thanks for having me on the show. charles: where are we this? it is starting to feel like maybe the hopes of getting four defectives from the republican party is fading and this could wrap up in a relatively short period of time. >> i would certainly hope so. i mean, all they have done is rehashed their failed arguments from the house. there's nothing new. the fact they want more witnesses and more time just shows that they don't have anything. i mean, they have no evidence of any crime. in fact, they have no accusation of a crime. this is wasting the american tax dollars. it is wasting the time, the opportunity costs as a businessman, i get that. we are wasting the opportunity costs of these committees, the floor time. we should be doing a lot more for the american people. i have a bill that would help rural hospitals. that's such a big issue in america. why can't i get that bill heard while we're investigating the president? charles: so many observers and commentators on this. to be quite frank with you, whoever they are, i kind of know what they are going to say before hand. >> sure. charles: the theme is that hey, you know what, it doesn't have to be a crime, that this is not necessarily a court per se, and that it just has to be something unpresidential. what i'm concerned about is the idea that we will get to a place where every future president theoretically will be up for impeachment. >> absolutely. how do you define unpresidential? is that my idea today or your idea tomorrow? that's ridiculous. the one thing about interpreting the law, specifically the constitution, we should interpret it as it's written, just like we would a contract. you may go back and argue well maybe they meant because so and so wrote a speech or wrote an article outside of the debate or as part of the debate in writing the constitution, maybe they went, but what they wrote was high crimes and misdemeanors. that means it's a crime. that's what they all agreed to and put on paper. that's the written document. that's what we should enforce, and there is no crime. so this thing needs to go away and go away quickly. charles: let's look ahead because this is a big year for our country. president trump and your party now apparently looking at tax cuts 2.0. >> sure. charles: is this something that you should do during the election? you know, because the argument will be if things are so great, why do we need yet another injection of stimulus into this economy? and then there are some folks who are saying that if you look at the conservative parties in the u.k., australia, austria, what they were able to do is take some of the tax breaks from businesses and give it to the middle class or to individuals. is there a way to do both? >> well, actually, you know, cutting the corporate tax did both. i think it is very important for people to understand. our corporate tax is one of the highest in the world. it was shipping businesses and jobs overseas. it was cutting our gdp. it was weakening our country. and when we cut that tax, just a few years ago, we had a massive increase in productivity. i mean, there were -- just looking at tennessee, home depot gave thousands of dollars in bonuses to its -- their employees. wells fargo in tennessee increased their base rate by 11%. they increased their pay by 11%. i mean, that's a huge impact for middle income earners. charles: it's hard to argue, sir, that the overall economy has not benefitted big-time since these have gone into place. i really appreciate you taking the time. i know it is busy for all of you. thank you very much, congressman. >> thanks, charles. charles: we're at the lowings of the session. -- lows of the session. it was a more orderly sell-off. now there's a greater sense of concern here. we're going to keep following them for you. in the meantime, elizabeth warren confronted by an angry dad. i'm sure all of you have been seeing this already and saying what i have been saying -- this dad, what i have been saying for months. also something president trump said is my winner of the week. wise words that by the way cut across the political divide. i will explain, next. with sofi, get your credit cards right by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. get a no-fee personal loan my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. you get the freedom of what a 7-day return policy. this isn't some dealership test drive around the block. it's better. this is seven days to put your carvana car to the test and see if it fits your life. load it up with a week's worth of groceries. take the kiddos out for ice cream. check that it has enough wiggle room in your garage. you get the time to make sure you love it. and on the 6th day, we'll reach out and make sure everything's amazing. if so... excellent. if not, swap it out for another or return it for a refund. it's that simple. because at carvana, your car happiness is what makes us happy. this round's on me.eat. hey, can you spot me? come on in. find your place today, with silversneakers. included in most medicare advantage plans. enroll today by calling the number on your screen or visit getsilversneakers.com charles: that song triggers feelings of loneliness, a feeling that more and more americans are having these days. a survey shows a 13% rise in loneliness since 2018 with nearly two thirds of men and more than half of women expressing feelings of isolation. that's why loneliness is my pick for loser of the week. as always i want to bring in district media president beverly hallberg. beverly, loneliness, it sucks. >> such a sad thing to start our segment on today, charles. here's the good news, even though fewer and fewer people they have meaningful connections with people, what they can do is put down their phone, stop all the social media, at least limit it and realize we form deep connections not through the digital format, but actually meeting with people face-to-face. go out there, get married, have kids. if you don't want to do that, do something in your community, go to church, be involved, so it's about that one-on-one human connection. think that's what people are missing these days because they are using their phone instead. charles: i think you are right. social media playing a big role in that. my winner was an easy choice for this week. now, despite being on trial in the senate, president trump i think had one of his best moments in his presidency in davos on wednesday. take a listen. >> time for skepticism is over. people are flowing back into our country. companies are coming back into our country. many of you who i know are coming back in with your plants and your factories, thank you very much. america's newfound prosperity is undeniable, unprecedented and unmatched anywhere in the world. charles: he is right, the time for skepticism is over. over the years we have all become skeptics, cynics, doubters, and the net result has been lost opportunities, further division in our country and i say it is time we can never get back all that anger, right, but the great news is the future doesn't have to be part of this hopelessness. i wish everyone would put all those things on the shelf and embrace life and optimism. what are your thoughts? >> i think made in america is something we can celebrate once again because of course businesses are coming back to the united states. it is good to create in the red white and blue states these days, which is good, but also with unemployment at a 50-year low, look at people who are middle aged who didn't really have the opportunity to learn a new skill set if they lost their job, they have their jobs back in many cases, so i think that's a huge reason to celebrate. charles: optimism is a core reason america is great in the first place. let's embrace it, folks. all right, now, i'm totally with you on your winner of the week, the plantar's peanut. here's why. ♪ >> let go. >> no, you let go. >> no, you don't. >> don't do it. >> no! >> maybe you will be all right. maybe not. charles: you say killing off mr. peanut is pr gold; right? >> it is because they left us the cliff hanger. they let us know that during the super bowl, they are going to be airing an ad where they are going to air his funeral, so all of us are intrigued. what is this commercial going to be like? they did attach a social media campaign to this. they put up the hashtag ri-peanut and plenty of people are having a lot of fun. there were a lot of puns. charles: by the way there were a few hilary clinton puns also. your lose over the week, hand-written notes. >> we saw a stationery company is having to close all their stationery stores across the country. it made me worry that the thank you note that my mom made me right and the things we were taught to actually write people a hand-written note are no longer. what i've wondered is what does this mean for thanking people? i have to call you out on something, charles, one of your colleagues neil cavuto send hand-written notes to the people who come on his show. i've gotten a note from neil. never gotten one from you, charles. charles: i don't have your address. i have e-mailed you a couple times. >> you are like i know you through twitter. the loss of the hand-written note, the one benefit for me on this one is i have horrible handwriting so at least it saves me the trouble from having to do that. i will send you something via text. charles: i have forgotten how to write in cursive. you are write i used to write a hand-written note -- you are right, i used to write a hand-written note in my son's lunch every day. i need to get back to that. thank you. >> thank you. charles: a father confronts elizabeth warren over her loan forgiveness program. some are saying she's saying tough luck to everyone who did the right thing. i want to hear from you what you think about this confrontation. tweet me about it. i will read some of my favorite responses next. what do advisors look for in an etf? don't just track an index, help me meet a client's need. is the fund built to sell or built to last? etfs are only part of a portfolio. so make it easy to explain. give me a quality fund that helps me get clients closer to their goals. flexshares etfs are designed and managed around investor objectives. so you can advise with confidence. before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. go to flexshares.com for a prospectus containing this information. read it carefully. colon cancer screening for people 45 plus at average risk. some things are harder than you thought. and others are easier. like screening for colon cancer with me, cologuard. i'm noninvasive and you use me at home. i'm also effective. i find 92% of colon cancers using dna in your stool. so why wait? cologuard is not for those at high risk for colon cancer. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your healthcare provider if cologuard is right for you. most insured patients pay $0. >> we build a future going forward by making it better. by that same logic, what would we have done? not started social security because we didn't start it last week for you or last month for you? charles: i don't know. elizabeth warren trying to save face after this video of a dad confronting her over student loan forgiveness plan. it's gone viral, folks. her answer i think just opens the door to government encouraging a culture of irresponsibility. joining me now national republican lawyers association board member. you know, in that interview this morning, elizabeth warren saying well, we've got a 1.5 trillion dollars crisis on our hands, but would it naturally go to 2 to 4 trillion if you could take out a loan and knew somebody else would pay for it? >> obviously, charles, when you have the government footing the bill for all of this, you're going to see inflation in those prices as well. and you're also, you know, if the program is to simply wipe out the debt, you are going to see that availability of funding close down, not to mention demoralizing all the parents like that poor dad who pointed out that his responsible behavior is basically being met with a slap in the face by elizabeth warren's proposed policy. charles: i talked about this like eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex. this is more of the elite college government complex, in the last ten years particularly college tuition has gone par bollic -- parabollic. if you look at the dorms, the campuses, the salaries, the ability to take two years off to write a book. it is a wonderful thing to be in that environment. why should someone who didn't even go to college, someone who is driving a cab or a plumber pay for it? >> absolutely right. it is out of control. a lot of people are getting degrees that are worthless and nobody is really talking about that. we need to address the core problem of why education is so expensive in this country. it is driven by a lot of these funding issues that warren is blind to apparently. charles: folks have gone crazy over this. i'm getting a ton of responses on twitter. i want to share some. julie responded by saying how about the colleges and universities lowered their tuition and housing rates? they will raise them if people like warren succeed with their plans. exactly what you said. also liberty responded by saying i personally know of students that use student loans for buying cars and vacations. why stop there? cancel all our loan debt, credit card debt, mortgage debt. then there was scott we saved to pay for our three kids to go to junior college first. then they took out some loans to continue at university. teaching responsibility is that they need to repay what they borrowed, not taxpayers. interesting. >> absolutely. charles: that's a lesson, also; right? living up to your promises and your commitments including if i borrow something, i will repay it. >> right. charles: i want to switch gears here. democrats are expected to finally wrap up their opening arguments in this impeachment trial today what can we expect, though, from the white house when they start their rebuttal tomorrow? >> well, i think the president's team is a great team. i'm in touch with them, and you are going to see them put on a vigorous defense of the president, that is going to respond to the charges that the democrats raised. now, as we all know, it is the president's burden to disprove their fake allegations. it is their burden to prove their case. as we can see by them repeating the same very poor case over and over again, every day, for the last three days, they don't have a case, and i'm understanding from the people on the president's team, watching the reactions of the senators, both sides, that they are tuning out. so their jury is tuning out. democrat senators apparently just want this to be over because it is not playing well back in their districts. charles: we have seen a few heads nodding there, people reading books. it's like -- >> i don't blame them. charles: if the senate is not interested in this, why should we be? thank you very much. >> my pleasure. charles: tell me if you can follow this one, folks. okay? a man who bought a residential firehouse from the city of seattle is sued by the city for using it as a residence. coming up, that homeowner shares his story. what i love most about being a scientist at 3m is that i'm part of a community of problem solvers. we make ideas grow. from an everyday solution... to one that can take on a bigger challenge. from packaging tape... to tape that can bond materials to buildings... and planes. one idea can unlock a breadth of solutions. at 3m, we are solving problems that improve lives. most people thinklock as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next.

[laughter] >> so that's kind of indicative of seattle. charles: you buy this firehouse that was promoted as a potential residence -- residential dwelling. >> yeah. charles: then they say no, you can't use it. what did they want to use it as? as a firehouse? >> well, they initially approached us, and i jokingly said should i buy a fire truck? after all you're calling it a fire station, but it turns out that they had an issue that they hadn't dealt with internally on changing the land use from a fire station to a residential property, which by the way they knew before they even marketed this property they knew they needed to change it. somehow it got lost in the bureaucracy of land use in the city of seattle. charles: this is absolutely nuts. what's happening now? how are you using this property? >> well, i use it for an office. i have a daughter that has a style and entertainment business that she does food prep and photography there. my grand kids come down and spend time there, with their friends. we've had birthday parties, family dinners. you know, it's just a utility space that we use as a family. and again, i have an office there. we can't do anything with the building because it is a landmark structure. charles: okay. >> so we have this obligation to maintain it as landmark structure. charles: so if you were to buy a fire truck, could you get a break? [laughter] charles: could you get some kind of write-off? [laughter] >> that would be terrific, wouldn't it? it's a great conversation starter. charles: it is, tom. it is a great story. i think more importantly we know that you fought back, and you know, some of the madness wept away. -- went away. thanks for sharing the story with us, tom. >> we're working on it. thank you, charles, i appreciate it. charles: we reached out to the city of seattle, the attorney for comment, we have yet to hear back. and of course we're following these markets for you as we head into the final hour of trading including a look at new developments coming out of boeing as the company tees up its earnings for next week. two of my favorite market watchers will give us their take. grab a pencil. did you miss our special presentation of investing in you? make sure you watch it tomorrow, 6:00 p.m. eastern time right here on fox business. he wanted a man cave in our new home. but she wanted to be close to nature. so, we met in the middle. ohhhhh! look who just woke up! you are so cute! but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. yeah, it was really easy and we saved a bunch of money. oh, you got it. you are such a smart bear! call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. ♪ yes i'm stuck in the middle with you, ♪ no one likes to feel stuck, boxed in, or held back. especially by something like your cloud. it's a problem. but the ibm cloud is different. it's open and flexible enough to manage all your apps and data securely, anywhere, across all your clouds. so it can help take on anything from rebooking flights on the fly, to restocking shelves on demand, without getting in your way. ♪ ♪ this round's on me.eat. hey, can you spot me? come on in. find your place today, with silversneakers. included in most medicare advantage plans. enroll today by calling the number on your screen or visit getsilversneakers.com i'm but how do i know if, i'm getting a good deal? truecar knows exactly how much people have been paying for the car i want. i tell truecar my zip and what car i'm into, and it shows me the truecar curve. this shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car. looks like these folks paid a little more than everyone else. and this guy got the deal of a lifetime. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. (narrator) before you buy a car, see what others paid for it with truecar. charles: the broad market is rebounding here somewhat after a report that the boeing 737 max could return to service sooner than expected. lots of investors say they wanted to buy that stock and others on a dip. what are some of the big bargains that are developing after four down days in a row, what's enticing? well, i've got them for you, folks. bringing in two of my favorites, king view wealth and management cio, fox news contributor scott martin, chief investment strategist rob luna. let's start with you, scott, i got a note this morning that you were intrigued by boeing, you know. it's been all over the place, 21 point trading range today. it's over 320 right now which is a place i was thinking could be a buy area. >> yeah, just a bit of volatility in boeing and pun intended some turbulence too in the stock, certainly, but that's where opportunities pop up, charles, as you noted. when you invest for a return, you have to take some risk, especially at these levels. a lot of the bad news is out with boeing. calhoun is in. he is doing the right things. he's getting the right messages out. i think there's a lot of confidence with him within the company as i have spoken to some folks there. there seems to be some backing of his ideals and efforts so far. the bad news with respect to boeing, if anything happens, further, yes, that is going to knock the stock down, but if things can stay quiet, if they can get back on track here, i think the stock is going right back up in the air. charles: i just got a note from our market expert here, charlie brady, this would be the first 1% move in the s&p since october, 71 trading days, by the way, up or down, and so i mean, you know, that's been pretty quiet, measure of volatility up 12%, could we be ushering in a new period of volatility? >> i think we could, charles, really it is more of the normal; right? we didn't have a pullback any greater than 7% last year. i think this has been pretty abnormal. this is something i think investors should get used to. we have been preparing our investors for this. it is an election year also. i think this is a preview of what's to come this year. if you are a long-term investor, that shouldn't shake you out some of the good positions you might be in right now. charles: i have my list of names looking to buy on the dip, target is one, netflix is one. are you looking at anything that might have acted funny that is down that maybe now is in a point where you would want to buy it on this weakness? >> charles, i know you are not a big fan of chevron because it's significantly underperformed over the last several years when you look at that stock, if you are an investor, you are looking at number one growth but also let's remember a lot of people need income now, with ten year treasury at 1.7%, there's not much there. chevron's giving you 260 basis points above the ten-year, 4.3%. extreenlly good balance sheet -- extremely good balance sheet, lowest cost of production of any of the majors, haven't had to make a major acquisition. for investors looking for income, chevron makes a lot of sense here. secondarily i would look at disney. it has a great future ahead of it. look at disney plus, it is blowing out what the expectations were from analysts. three new cruise ships that will be coming on-line in the next three years. the stock has pulled back. if you have been waiting, this is your time. charles: they report next week. let's talk about the momentum in the semiconductors. intel had a blockbuster earnings report. the semis are mind boggling. scott, can it keep going? how do you ignore something that's a juggernaut like that? >> you can't ignore it. it is something you need to take a lesson from, though, because when stocks have gotten here, specifically as you mentioned charles, the chips, they get hit. i mean, intel is overdone. we had some intel. we started paring it back today because you look at the rsi, look at the other stuff that i look at -- charles: you could look at it with an eye. pull up a one year chart of the sox and it is like golly -- >> exactly, charles. you don't chase these, but they do come bark. -- come back. i also want to note i didn't even think of the cruise ships as rob pointed out. that's why he's probably on the show. i like disney here, getting forgotten. netflix is getting some love too after their earnings. charles: this morning apple got an upgrade to 400. google got an up grade this morning. every day new high targets on some of these juggernaut stocks. i'm not getting out of any of them, maybe you don't chase them. >> i personally own both of the stocks. we own them for our clients. we would love to buy more on a pullback. the valuations are not that expensive. these are two market dominating companies. if you are in with them, you stick with the name. i personally will be buying more if they pull back here. charles: a big big week for earnings next week. apple, microsoft, amazon, facebook, visa, mastercard, at&t, exxonmobil, verizon, coca-cola, pfizer, novartis, chevron, boeing, netflix, i mean, is anything in that group, scott, standing out to you? which one of those names will set the tone for maybe the broader market? >> it is the big guys. it is amazon probably first and foremost because remember amazon is retail and tech with aws, so that kind of gives you a nice little juxtaposition of two major growing sectors in the economy. obviously still like to see google with some of the cloud stuff. we obviously like to see apple too in there. a quick note on that, you mentioned a lot of great companies. you almost rattled off a lot of our top portfolio holdings. look fur pullbacks in some of these names -- look for pullbacks in some of these names. they may not hit the ball out of the park. when they come back in, you can add positions as rob noted earlier. charles: is dow is off 165 points. that's great news. we were off more than 300 points ten minutes ago. the last hour of trading is always nuts, but liz claman, it is going to be a blockbuster today. liz: i'm sweating already. i'm glad you just mentioned boeing. it is helping the picture, but we need to look at this breaking news and specifically the volatility index. as we head into this final hour of trade, you need to stay with us because the impact of the wuhan coronavirus is spreading. the vix or fear index is spiking about 15% right now. but it had been up 18%. now, as we speak, businesses around the world, from disney to mcdonald's to imax are shifting their plans or outright closing up shop. a second case in the united states has just been confirmed this afternoon. we're tallying the latest numbers, but since monday, the death toll has more than quadrupled. mcdonald's and disney are dragging down the dow 30
