stocks not able to pick up any steam on the heals of yesterday's big rally. the u.s. creating huer jobs than anticipated. not just in august, but june and july were revieszed downward as well. stocks could be worse off if these weak numbers didn't make wall street more convinced that the fed would move with a monetary stimulus to revive the economy in some way. >> here is where we stand, the dow jones is lower by 9.5 points. the nasdaq is still -- i spoke too soon, it had been slightly positive -- >> give it another couple minutes. >> 3134, the s&p is still in positive territory. >> it's like the weather in hawaii, you don't like it now? just wait it will get better. a bailout may be a fore gone conclusion, but is this likely to happen because our economy is not better -- >> we have steve leisman and rick santelli. the jobs report was not pretty, are we still maintaining the levels that we've got because of hopes of the central bank acting next week. >> yeah, i think it's a global liquidity, and i think the behavior all argue for that premise. steve tough to find silver linings but they revised june and july as well. >> yeah, it was pretty uniform, normally you find some that tell you look at this this way or that way. the only thing i can find good about it is most of the job losses were concentrated. manufacturing on one hand and government on the other. manufacturing was a snap back. i just want to show you this graph we put together here. this shows the range of estimates. the blue line is the median and the green is the actual. did they miss by a lot, no, 96,000 is a lot weeker than the 125 -- i bring this up because some people were quite a bit higher and there was a question if there was a higher number on the street. >> steve, you said even if this was a good number today, then the fed was acting next week. >> there is no guarantees, but i think they will act. if you read what fed chairman bernanke said and concluded but i think they're ready to go next week. >> peter, your blog after that report came out said ben's b 52 is on the way. >> yes, i was convinced after jackson hole it was moving again. he knew if he wanted to temper market expectations that would be a perfect venn view and he defended the previous qe. that set up market expectations for me for a qe move next week. >> so larry, in the past, we have seen financial assets rising, is it all in for stocks? >> they're ledding indicator, not of economic growth as we saw in the weak jobs report, but they're a leading indicator of that jobs growth. so the answer is if you're looking for a stimulus induced trade, you got it, that was the trade. if you want to reposition, look for upside opportunity, just like we talked about last week, look in europe, china, asia in particular. that's where the upside is. >> larry, i think you make another point and that is that a lot of the stimulus may be baked in already. i don't think it will be a surprise to the u.s. stock market if the fed goes next week. i wonder if some of the markets may have some of that in the upside. >> rick, what do you think? >> i think it's really hard to tell. there was a time you could look at the market and get an idea. i think the market is so far disconnected from fundamentals, they can't divine what's going on in ben bernanke's brain. >> in the u.s., it's priced for a safety trade. if we look at currency, we see that potential weakness of the dollar and the strength in the euro, and we see the same for europe and asia. it's a totally different market and pricing mechanism. >> peter, i would maintain if you look at a chart of this week in the markets, the european central bank had a greater impact on the markets than our expectations of what our own fed may do, do you agree? >> there's no question i think that's been the case for months now. the world has been worried about europe and where that goes, even more the u.s. economy. europe has been driving the bus, and any hint at a move by the ecb, that's what market is focused on, it's the we're mean recession that had people so cared. like you said, ecb moves have been the main focus on the markets. >> larry says absolutely, there is a short-term trade here, what do you think? do we get to the point where if they do something we see selling on the news, how do you play it out? >> what we're seeing today is rotation into the inflation trade again that is lagged to the rest of the market in the last few months. if i'm going to be in the market, commodities, reinflation of the dollar. >> i have to ask michelle what i think is the most undiscussed question of next week is what will the der man court rule next week? >> we'll find out on wednesday. >> i won't let you off the hook, that's the key next week. >> i'm told 80% chance that they will vote and decide in the favor of what everybody wants them to do. >> i got an answer out of you. >> well done, steve. you're right, we got to go. >> thanks, guys, nice chart by the way, steve. kudos to the graphics department. >> i know your real answer,ly not make you say it on the air. we'll see if this market can mount a comeback of some kind as we head toward the close right now. >> stick around, we're just getting starting on this big friday edition of the "closing bell." coming up, in a fix, is the employment picture so break it may not matter who is in the oval office come january? and gun play, some weapon manufacturers are up as much as 250%. we'll tell you who they are and how to arm your portfolio. also, there is something about maria, she's on the ground in italy with the very latest news on what the world's leaders are saying about the state of the global economy. welcome back, about 50 minutes left in the trading session. time for a quick market academic. if you're just checking in, the market is not doing much. this morning's disappointed job numbers throwing the rally into neutral. if you're a bull, you would say we have not had a big sell off. but that's -- true, that has not been the case, we're down 11 points right now. we're still on course for solid gains. telecom issues have been lagging. the materials are moving higher as well. >>. >> all in all, the u.s. saw only 96,000 jobs added in august. that's below the 120,000 that was expected, which at this point in the recove ri should be stronger. as for the unemployment rate, that number falling to 8.1% because more people gave up looking for work. >> gaining us right now, we have former council and chairman laura tyson. she is not optimistic in the jobs picture any time soon. what ails this labor market. why is corporate america so hesitant to hire people these days? >> i think there are two things going on. in the corporate or private sector, i think there is a lot of uncertainty. it's uncertain because of the slow down in the global economy, because of the fiscal cliff, because of europe, if you're looking at that kind of picture, expanding now with weak demand and uncertainty is not a good idea. the other thing not remarked upon enough in the discussion is the public sector employment. really, what the corrections, all of the downward revisions in the last couple months were -- the thing lagging here substantially relative to any other recovery period we have seen, is public sector employment which delined more than any other sector in this recovery period. so, if you compare this recovery to the recovery from 2001, private sector growth was stronger than it was. what has been really different is pub public sector employment. >> and so many governments are required to have budgets in their constitution. a lot of people would argue that fewer private sector job social security what the country needed at this point. >> they might say that, i'm not in that example, but even for those who say it, then, they need to pay attention to the fact that when they're bemoaning the weak job's report, they have to understand that that is because the public sector employment has been declining. the private sector, if you look from the recovery period from june 2009 until now, that has been better than it was out of the 2001 recession. we had a much deeper hole, i don't disagree with that. so, it is important we have that distension. >> we agree it's going to be the private sector then that will get us out of this hole, what will it take? i think of the finance official in germany that said they disagree with what the ecb is doing now with the bond buying that you can't solve a fiscal crisis with a monetary problem. we have a fiscal and monetary problem here in the united states. what will solve the problem right now? so far the fed doesn't seem to be able to create so many jobs right now. >> what bernanke said last week and i agree with him and the evidence points in this direction is the main reason we have an 9.1% unemployment is because of weak demand. if you're thinking about monetary or fiscal policy, on the fiscal side, it comes from tax cutting, spending increases, or both, and we have to worry about that. on the monetary side, what monetary authorities can do is reduce interest rates and try to reduce rates across a broad set of assets through qe policies. the fiscal and monetary side are trying to stimulate demand, and demand is missing to great stronger momentum. >> they're pushing on a string, rant they? >> the fed has the capability to act right now, and i think always, you know, again chairman ber knack key admitted that this policy tool is not a particularly strong tool. >> ben bernanke said that he creating two million jobs. they did analysis and said if not for what we had done, there would be 2 million fewer jobs in the united states. >> exactly he said based on a whole host of studies done around the country that essentially the recovery would have been weaker without the fed policy -- >> do you agree? >> i completely agree, i think the record is clear, i think that two million nur is very strong. >> so do you think it's disingenuous that so many people said that he had created 4.5 million jobs? should we take away two million of those? >> i think the fiscal policies of the federal government and monetary policy of the central reserve helped the private sector create 4.6 million jobs in the last 30 months of private sector job growth. the economy creates the jobs. the monetary and fiscal authorities provide support. the president has been thwarted numerous times by his discussions. he has given discussions about what should be done. there is another study that suggests if all of the president's american jobs act proposals of last september had been in place this year, we would have a million more jobs, and we would have more demand coming into the private sector to support those jobs. >> last question very quickly. how long will it take? they were talking this week in charlotte about giving this time. in your view, to get us back to -- you know, full employment is still far down the road, but to get back to a more stable employment picture in the united states, how long will that take? >> it's important to say that we have to say where we think that is. goil to bernanke here again, he said last week we're between 2 and 2.5 percentage points below what you think of as full employment. so 5.5 or 6, and we're over eight. now, i believe that the right set of policies, a policy that was a bipartisan long run reduction policy with policies that don't take us away from the fiscal cliff with qe, that can speed up the pace, but we do have a deep hole we are digging out of. the good news is the private sector continues to expand, we now have 30 consecutive months and we would like the pace to be picked up. if the european situation clears a bit, everyone is looking to see if the plols work. i think it could be very important in terms of boosting the group. >> we have a market flash right now, what's going on? >> we're watching shares of hess. they're up on the news of a billion dollar asset sale. now, the purchaser ongcv, are looking to close on a deal later this year, watch those shares, they're up 3.7%. >> thank you. >> 38 minutes before the closing bell. the nasdaq is lower by three. >> forget samsung or google. what is apple doing that has pandora stock down 17% today? it's not exactly music to pandora's ears. >> i love the pun. here is another one, gunshots have been shot out of a cannon, but why? and is it too late to take aim at these stocks? ask me.

>> you have seen buy today, you have seen silver and gold move up, because a fed move would be inflationary? >> correct. the exxon mobile, the energy -- we accumulate stocks here. that having been said, this is not the grand solution, and the fact that the numbers from the jobs, and the grass real earnings will be down. so buy them because it's hurting consumption. next friday is the retail sales number that will be big because resail sales has gasoline and automobiles. >> and back to school is strong as well. kevin, what do you do with this market right now? >> we cut back a little bit in terms of our expectation for bonds at these levels. i think that equities look more appealing because what happened yesterday, the european central bank, are many of the stale risks that markets have been considered about were taken off of the table. there's a lot of improvement for the attitude out of injury. and we think we're on a process thwarts recovery there. as far as qe 3, i will shade to less likely that we will get it at the next meeting, but i think you'll have more jawboning, an extension of the pledge to keep rates low, and you should expect to have some quantitative easing coming up over the next several months. >> bob, what are you hearing with this job's number out today, a lot of people say so weak that guarantees may be that the fed moves next week. >> the reaction in the market is not encouraging if you believe qe is helping the stock market. what's keeping things up is china announcing a infrastructure project. there were people who didn't know if they would do that. that was a surprise. material and energy stocks have moved up. qe 3 is baked in. the markets are not moving, and they believe the german constitutional -- >> if it's baked in and they move next week, are we seeing selling on the news?
