David money with Melissa Francis is next. Im Melissa Francis and heres whats money tonight. Every party has to end. The question is, when . The bulls are throwing a rager on wall street but is it too late for average investors to show up . Our market power panel tells you how to make money no matter where the market goes. Plus, nothing tastes sweeter than a bailout. Uncle sam is ready to come to the rescue of the sugar industry as prices plunge. We have money for this, but not white house tours for kids . Consumers and taxpayers may have more than a biter pill to swallow. Were going to explain. Democrats lay down their cards on the new budget. Forget balance. How about a hefty helping of tax hikes . Well talk to a Ranking Member. House budget committee, Chris Van Hollen for reaction. Even when they say it is not, it is always about money melissa our top story tonight, there is no stopping the wall street rally. The dow closed at a record high for the 7th day in a row at 14,455. So what are you doing about it . Where is your money right now . Todays power panel is here with what the average investor should be making of all this lance roberts, chief economist and ceo of street talk advisors. Spencer patton, chief Investment Officer at steel vine investments. You recognize jonathan hoenig, he is Portfolio Manager manager at capitalist pig. Com and fox news contributor. Thanks to all three of you for joining us. Lance, let me start with you. The average person is watching this and hearing record, record, record. Saying what am i missing . What are they missing . Well obviously theyre missing the market going up but there is kind of this assumption that the average investor has been out of the market three years, four years now and now theyre just kind of waking up. That is not the case. Most people that are invested. Melissa you dont think so . No, it is not. If you look at lot of data, only 20 of the americans are actively involved in the market anyway. The bulk of those are invested for the most part. Theyre in the markets. Theyre participating and, you know the issue really becomes though we have to look at risk here. Weve obviously got the fed inducing markets. 85 billion a month. Melissa right. Driving these market prices higher. Thats fine. No problem with that. Margin debt is back at levels we havent seen since 2007. Melissa yeah. You have high yield credit, high yield credit yields are at the lowest level on record. Which basically means the yield chase and risk is definitely there. So you just want to be more cautious where you go too from here. Melissa jonathan, im thinking one in four americans who tapped into their 401 k to try to pay their bills over this period of time. Im also thinking about the people who stopped contributing to the 401 k when they saw the market tank because they got nervous about it. Theyre waking back up to what is going on and seeing they missed the ride up. What would you tell the people do now . Get out of the habit making investing all or none decision. Your point speaks to that exactly. Go back to 2009, 2010. Investors obviously became very scared and a lot of those individual investors unfortunately pulled all their money out of the market. Were at alltime highs on the dow. Were starting to see that trickle in. I disagree slightly with our guest. We have seen especially four or five years, come out stocks go into bond and into gold. Melissa i agree. Market has been up nine days in a row. I think the trend still continues. I see higher prices for stocks despite the run weve had. Melissa spencer do you think the Retail Investor is on the sideline and what should they be doing . I think we see more Retail Investors in bonds significantly. And there is chunk on the sidelines. What people need to do is wake up the fact they have lost a lot of purchasing power last five years. Gasoline is 4 a gallon where it was at two. Gold was 750 an ounce. Now it is at 1500. They need to get into real assets. Buy things like real estate. Get invested into agriculture. Get into things that will preserve the purchasing power. Do not buy the market once it is up nine consecutive days the longest in 16 years. You will wake up and regret it in the morning. Please run and dont make that mistake again here. Melissa lance, is that good advice . That is a good point. Youve lost a lot of purchasing power. The fed is just going to keep doing what theyre doing. So items is a like that trend could continue. Do you agree with that . What advice would you give in light of that . I think it is great. Actually i agree with both of your guests over the last two points. I call this the taylor swift market because they treat this like a bad relationship. When it doesnt work out bail out at worst time and try to get back in at the top. Melissa yes. But the reality i agree with bothings look the markets are very extended here. There is risk. You want to buy on corrections. Again, agree with jonathan, you dont want to go all out of the market or allin. It is never good. You can not time the markets. In respect to your second guest, steve is absolutely right, it is about asset allocation. Stocks are a fine place to be when all the fundamentals are in place but earnings are deteriorating. Risk is high. And people are chasing stocks because theyre going up. But look, there is some great places to put money. Bond prices have actually declined over last couple months which have given good opportunities in the bbb rated space. There is great opportunity, gold had a great decline over last few months. Very, very oversold. This is the most oversold gold has been in last three years. This is good opportunity. Melissa i want to ask each of you in really plain language. If people have money sitting on the sidelines right now and theyre watching this record day after day after day, would you add money to stocks right here . Im going through everyone. Jonathan, would you start first. Would you add money to start here . Absolutely, melissa. The best indicator of the market is the market. So i dont believe as the other guest has said, i dont believe you buy on dips, buy on corrections. You never know if the correction is beginning of something more substantial, something more serious. I believe in buying strength. Right now, look at stocks, bond and gold unquestionably, stocks is the best asset class to have your money . Dont buy now. You will regret it if you buy at peaks, you buy on corrections. That is what data in the past shown. Buy when things are cheap. Dont buy at the very top. Melissa im thoroughly confused. Lance you will be the deal breaker, the tiebreaker. What do you think . Look the bottom line is, that markets are very overbought. They are going to pull back at some point. Maybe this summer. Buy on corrections. Buy on weakness. That is when you make the best opportunity. Buying now, youre guaranteed in the next three to four months values will be lower than they are today. Melissa jonathan, youre odd man out now. Ill let you have the last word to make your case. I mean, idea of buying on corrections, melissa, you go back to 2007. You would have bought all the way down to a 50 correction in the dow. I in fact dont see that now. The market moves in trends. That is the best indicator we have. Right now yes, of course the market will go down one day in the future. It will not go up forever. I think it is best asset class you can have. Stocks are like sushi. You dont want a bargain. Dont want them on sale. Buy quality, buy strength. Trend tend to persist. Melissa what you learn is something we learn every time there is Big Stock Market crash like what happened in 08. That if you get out at huge crash youre always sorry later so it comes back. We learn that in retrospect. Thanks for coming on, we appreciate it. Thank you. Moving on to keeping your money safe, u. S. Intelligence leaders say Cyber Attacks are our nations number one security threat, even more than terrorism and al qaeda. Today the president met with ceos of some of the Biggest Companies to discuss the critical implications but heres the thing. All the recent attacks on banks and web sites have seemed more like inconveniences than anything else. Supposedly no ones Bank Accounts were compromised. Weve never seen anything like the dire warnings of Water Treatment facilities or the like being attacked despite warnings for years. So why is cybersecurity our biggest concern right now . Thats what im wondering. Joining me morgan wright, cybersecurity expert and retired colonel set brick cedric layton, retired Security Risk analyst. Gentlemen, thanks for coming on. Morgan, let me start with you. Sure. Melissa this is the supposed to be the biggest threat out there you about as a regular person i never see any evidence of it so it is hard for me to get scared. I talked about this before, the government has interest in spreading certain amount of fear and doubt to get policies through to get people to take action. When James Clapper came out and talked about this, my concern is what he told and what he knows, my concern what we dont know. Scope and damage of threats always lag indicators and warns we later get. There may be something on the rise here. The real issue is number about actors, access to technology, the internet is ubiquitous. Rather than russia, china, you have defined army and defined enemy you see those things. You have anonymous. Alquds force we talked about before. You have all the people out there, china and all their Cyber Espionage units out there. So the threat proliferates. It doesnt get smaller. Melissa colonel, do you believe that this is the biggest threat right now, bigger than al qaeda . Actually i do and the reason i believe that, melissa, it is one of the most ubiquitous things we deal with right now. What we deal with is a device and a series of networks that are hooked up to everybody. Every Single Person in the United States has some interface with the internet. And because of that, it becomes really important for us to secure that network or series of networks and that is why because it touches everybody, everybody too needs to know there are threats out there and they need to know how to behave to counter those threats. Melissa morgan, i dont feel like this ever touches me. This is always the problem i have when talking about cybersecurity. Right. Melissa for years weve been talking about the potential, you know for terrorists to get in the electric grid and shut down huge cities. To turn off the subway. To contaminate water supply. You never hear about anything like that happening. There are attacking banks yet i havent lost any money. Worst thing that happens you cant get online and check your balance for a short period of time. It doesnt seem like a very terrifying to the average person. Well, and you know what . Thats the, thats the p50,000 foot view. Colonel layton from the air force would understand this analogy. Bombing from 50,000 feet. A lot of people dont see the actual impact but talk to a Construction Company in california, in december, visit krebs online, Great Security blog, they lost 900,000 and compromised their Sensitive Information and took 900,000 out of their account. You wont see denial of service attacks because denial of service attacks are designed to prevent something. The colonel said more devices connected to internet and more than people on earth. For new addressing scheme, you have to have an a address to be on internet, we have ten order of magnitude for more devices. More things to compromise and more peoples personal information. I dont want to wait until the Mushroom Cloud of cyberterrorism hits. What you want to do is get ahead of it and put policies and procedures and training of people in place. Melissa colonel layton, are we doing that . You see ceos going to the white house to talk to the president. In this country are we ahead the curve or are we behind . Were behind right now, melissa. Morgan points out really good points. He makes great points of the types of things we need to do to prepare ourselves. We dont have laws in place to protect us. We dont have laws that protect the infrastructure. That i think is what the president is trying to work with the ceos on because it becomes very. Melissa like what . What kind of law would protect us here . What law would make a difference . Well i think the big thing you have to have minimum cybersecurity standards. I know the u. S. Chamber of commerce has a different view on this but the basic idea is this. Is that you have some minimum standards that evolve as technology evolves. Something that the government hasnt really done yet. But they need to get into the business of developing standards that change with the times, that change with technology. And that can be enforced. You dont want to have onerous burdens on business. You want to protect everybody from the possible threats out there. In essence what were doing were protecting utility that we have that is known as the internet. Melissa gentlemen, nation for coming on. Good stuff. Thanks, medical list a, again. Melissa turning briefly to the big nonfinancial news of the day, the worlds 1. 2 billion catholics have a new pope. Argentinas Cardinal Jorge bergoglio was elected to lead the catholic church. He is the first pope in history elected from the americas. He becomes the first jesuit pope in history. He chosen francesca or francis i as the papal name. He asked the massive crowd in the papal square to pray for him a short time ago. Next on money, how about sugar with the bailout . Uncle sam plans to save the day for u. S. Sugar industry. Yet woe dont have money to stop furloughs for meat inspectors. Why the government may pour salt in taxpayers wounds. Plus the new democrat and paul ryans budget plan get together like ice cream and ground beef. What will both sides do to bridge the massive gap . Chris van hollen of the House Budget Committee will join us coming up. Investor. Yeah, im a serious investor but im a busy guy. It used to be easier but now there are more choices than ever.

Answers. Melissa call it one sweet bailout. The usda made by 400,000 tons of sugar from processors in order to prevent them from defaulting on 862 million in government loans. This by the way, is the same agency that warned of widespread beef shortages due to a lack of funding just a few weeks ago. And of course the government has been making cuts left and right to do things we quote, cant afford. You know, like air traffic controllers, medical research, Public School teachers, stuff like that but it can drop 862 million on sugar. The icing on the cake, if the deal goes down the price of sugar is going to shoot up. Just about everything eat or drink has some sort oo sugar in it, feel the heat at grocery store. For more im joined by the president of the National Confectioners association. Why is sugar getting a bailout . Because there is crazy u. S. Sugar program. One of the last programs left that protects and defends a commodity. These are in the socalled farm bill, it prevents sugar coming into the country, so it protects the Sugar Growers in the country. It also has a guaranteed price. So if the price gets too low, then the government has to buy it. And put it in warehouse and then eventually sell it. Its crazy. Melissa it is insane. Now they are being potentially, this year, theyre going to be forced to buy this sugar because what is going on in the sugar industry that it is such a terrible year for sugar . In a way it was a good year for sugar because the sugar beat farmers in the midwest and sugarcane farmers had a really good year in terms of production. So theres a lot of sugar on the market. And but the real reason for that is this ups and downs of the market, it is not a free market. It is really run by the department of agriculture. So, the secretary of agriculture decides how much sugar can come into this country, which is very little. And all of this is done to protect the growers. Melissa yeah. Because this program has been around since the depression. Melissa so i can feel people shouting at television right now and saying things like, we do similar things for the corn industry and for the milk industry and for cheese and a lot of this has to do if theres a bad crop one year we dont want sugar farmers to get wiped out so we dont have sugar the next year. How do you respond to all of those arguments . First of all there is plenty of suggest far in the world. What there should be is a free market in sugar. I represent the u. S. Candy industry. We dont have anybody, nobody is protecting us. Nobody is saying, foreign candy and chocolate cant come into this country. You know, we have to compete and we, we need the growers, we need the Sugar Growers. Were not against them. We feel they should have to compete in the free market like we do and like most businesses in the United States do. Melissa yeah. Theyre very few of these protective commodity programs left. This is one of them. Melissa yeah. We were watching peeps go by on the screen. Peeps are one of my favorite things in the whole entire world. It is like that time of year. So im totally distracted. There are 400,000 tons of sugar that, there they are again. Oh, peeps. I love peeps too. Melissa like a real problem. Anyway, so all this sugar, that the government is going to buy and dump, is enough. We have some fun facts. It is enough to make 142 billion hersheys kisses which my two sons would eat easily. 9. 3 billion, 12 ounce cans of coke. 4. 7 billion oreo cookies. Were having fun. What happens if the government buys the sugar, what do they do with it . Do they take delivery . It is in a warehouse that is owned by the government now under the 2008 farm bill, thats where the Sugar Program resides is in the farm bill, they are actually going to have to sell most of that sugar to ethanol producers. Melissa oh, ethanol. So it is not even, not even going to food. When you look at the Confectionery Industry were only 2 of the calories in a persons diet. And other thing about sugar, in a teaspoon of sugar there are only 15 calories. So, you know, moderate amount of sugar is fine in anybodys diet. Melissa dont tell mayor bloomberg that. He will take all the sugar away. I know. Melissa we promised folks to tell them ttis, what is theage of average person . If the government is trying to hold the floor on prices what is all this happening this year to the average person going out to buy candy or buy sugar for their coffee . All this stuff takes time. But i think it was Iowa State University did a study that showed because of Sugar Program that we have, it costs consumers almost 4 billion a year more because youre right, sugar is in a number of things. It is in ketchup and mayonnaise and salad dressings, that sort of thing. It means consumers will pay more for their food. Melissa larry, thanks for coming on. We appreciate your time. Have a peep for me. Thanks for having me, melissa. Melissa our money question of the day, should the government bail out the sugar industry . Wow, answering the question seems to rile people up.

Oil production hit its highest level in 20 years at 7. 2 Million Barrels a day. At the same time estimated demand for opecs crude is the lowest it has been since 2009. And experts say due to the Shale Oil Boom here at home. Are we doing enough to protect ourselves from supply shocks . Here to answer that is stephen schork, the Energy Visionary behind the schork report. Always pleasure to have you on the show. Thanks. Great to be here. Melissa steven, you and have been talking about oil for years and years and years. Im shocked to see this day arrive, that eia says were insulating ourselves from supply shock with our supply of oil here at home. Isnt that surprising . It is quite amazing. Comes back down to the old addage in chicks high prices are the economicses is best cure for high prices. We innovated, and brought the gas to market can and natural gas, our natural gas is cheapest in the world. Were seeing that take place in the oil markets. It is quite amazing. Five years ago, United States was importing 12 1 2 Million Barrels a day crude oil. Today were importing about 7 1 2 Million Barrels a day. As you just alluded to, were producing 7. 2. By the end of this year, the United States will be producing more crude oil than it imports. Quite amazing. No one saw this coming just five years ago. Melissa no, absolutely. I remember in 2008, when the price of oil was 147 a barrel. I went to saudi arabia for this crisis summit we were having with opec and the u. S. Energy secretary to talk about the fact that we had so much demand for oil and not enough oil. This was the time we were talking about peak oil. And here as you said, because the price was so high, people were ill willing to go out and innovate and experiment. We came up with idea of shale and fracking and now we have domestic oil. I wonder, are we doing enough now to preserve this and to nuture this revolution so we dont go back . Well. Well the industry has responded. To get from where it is alberta, and north dakota to get where it needs to be. We invested rail are cars and transportation for the oil. We redid refineries to for this specific grade of oil. Soil. The problem is, and we can just go back to that theory. I never believed there was a peak oil geologically speaking, but government the coil. Policy people oil. As we can see now with the gains continue to be played with keystone which is such an easy decision to make to get that oil to where it really needs to be, the industry is responding. My concern is the government is not doing enough to take advantage of this unbelievably cheap and abundant resource. Melissa you can see washington responded this point and say, look, production is up. Demand for gasoline is down. Maybe we dont need keystone. Well, that is absolutely cuckoo for cocoa puffs kind of thinking on the part of the government. Melissa youre watching this sugar segment we just had. This is oil. Indeed. And again, the government complained to the markets. So absolutely we need to get this policy. We need to get the soil. Right now we have a hodgepodge in the industry putting together a makeshift forms into place to get the oil. We do need a significant policy shift to address this issue. Look. We are on board. Right now with the current pace the United States is that with the supply growth and the demand destruction the fuel economy. The switch away from oil to natural gas. Demand is falling. Supply is rising this point. So there is no reason. We should not get the soil. If the government does not address this in the investment is going to go elsewhere. Its going to go to getting the loyal to British Columbia to the pacific rim and getting canadian oil we should be coming to the United States, it will be going to china if we do not been serious. Melissa always brilliant. Melissa time now for todays fuel gauge report. Naturalgas futures at a new high for the year. A new forecast calling for a cold snap across much of the northeast and midwest. Raising the a look for natural gas. U. S. Stockpiles of natural gas also saw larger than expected drop last week to. And the Iranian Nuclear powerr3 plant has been taken offline. The plants Power Generator is experiencing mechanical problems. That is according to iranian the u. S. Expected played a key role and the potential development of a nuclear weapon. And speaking of iran, the u. S. Extended waivers on iranian sanctions 11 countries. The 100 a day extension applies to banks in japan and ten eu countries with ties. In exchange the 11 nations will sharply reduce there imports of iranian oil. The new budget plans from democrats and paul ryan may as well be written in different languages. Are they far away from a compromise . A Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee joins me. That is coming up next. The judge put the kaj bosch. Not jumping for joy. A Top Executive for the White Castle Burger chain is here to explain. Piles of money coming up. train horn vo wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. Norfolk southern. One line, infinite possibilities. Melissa take that comair bloomberg. A judge overturns new york city mayor michael blumbergs planned ban on large share greece sodas. Well he may find that hard to swallow, i say let freedom ring. Businesses that would have meant would have been impacted have already spent the money preparing for it which could have been spent on jobs, expansion. What has been the real cost to businesses . White castle vicepresident Jamie Richardson joins me now. Thank you for coming back to the show. A lot of people had not thought about this. You spend time and money getting ready to comply with this band. Tell me about it. How much did you spend and what did you do . Thats right. We spent countless hours with dozens of people for dozens of weeks. For us the most important thing is the rule of law is a lot of the land. The court overturned the ban. Does that is what is most important because that is a victory for new yorkers. Will we see happening is that that will be upheld by the appellate court, and we think this is a victory because it allows us to keep the jobs we have, over 1,000 jobs in new york city, 29 restaurants. For us this would have been devastating to the business. We even had a customer gets so involved in this issue that he sent in a cup designed that had. Not cops. So here he is. Melissa kid stuff. Did you buy smaller cops . Ammine did you do things already to get ready for it . We did. We spend thousand dollars getting ready. We have the cubs ready to go in the warehouse. You know, rollout and be there. But does really the most important thing was a victory. Understanding that a lot of bad ideas have come out of washington, a place like new york city with the beverage ban. Its time to let america get back on its feet. These bad ideas have done tremendous damage to job creation this time to let them do what we do best, which is provide more opportunity for more people. Melissa absolutely. And so many other things that the mayor could be working on. Financial problems in the city. You know, things that we could be working on other than trying to make soda smaller. What would it have meant to you if it went through . Because obviously, you know, soda is a big part of what is sold in your store. The size makes a difference. Because it is the kind of restaurant where people have a smaller ticket. So as a result of our soda is a bigger percentage of that bill. Your absolutely right. We have been partners with cocacolas 1921 and well always wanted that as part two of our customers more choices if if you wanted to practice civil disobedience, it only with costas 1 billion per year, so thats billion with the beef. We have no idea how devastating it would have been. We were trying to model that out. The mayors response was to raise our prices. That didnt seem a logical thing to do which is not good for new yorkers either. We are thrilled with the courts decision. Melissa that is not differ yorkers. And that is a typical sort of rich guys solution to this problem. City Council SpeakerKristine Quinn said that people who bet on the mayor might bloomberg changing his mind up trouble the losing side of that bet. Do you feel like he sort of has you in his sights . And me, you are someone who sells the type of food he does not want receding. You have salts, french fries, everything that is delicious in this world that the mayor hates. You know, were in the restaurant industry, whole industry a problem solvers and would love to have constructive dialogue. We live in the greatest time in history of the world. More knowledge a more reformation. A common sense perspective. Melissa so true. Thanks for coming on the show. Up next, democrats unveiled their grand plan. It is light years apart. Is a deal closer than many think . We are joined at the end of the day it is all about money. And french fries. Its a new day.

For more on the news behind the numbers lets go to sandra smith has all the details. Gas prices have been so high. People are out shopping. They were. And the numbers are reflecting that across the board. Now that we are getting earnings from some of the major retailers. We first get a glimpse this morning. Arguably is what drove these markets to their longest winning streak since 1996. The dow, another update in of a retail Sales Numbers up over 1 the month of february. This tree was looking for a gain of a half a percent. A big be there. And then it continues in afterhours trading to. We have been a warehouse. This is a big retailer that a lot of folks were looking for to report after the bell. They reported very late tonight.

The Company Actually reporting of very solid report. So the good news on the retailers continues. We will see how things go the next couple of quarters because that is where analysts are saying we will keep watching. Absolutely. Because there are so many headlines right now in the economy.
