Is better. But insurers say big problems still persist, all this for december 2nd, 2013. Good evening, the numbers on the first day of trading in december, not the kind of numbers the investors were expecting for the stock market. The dow is now back to the 16,000 market and the s p index stands at exactly 1800. So why the selloff . Some blame it on the down sales which pushed up the major retailers, not even encouraging Economic Data seem to help, the stronger growth in u. S. Manufacturing in october. Looking at the closing numbers, dow fell 77, s p lost about five points. Susie, also not helping stocks today, comments from a Nobel Prize Winning economist, he says the u. S. Stock market is looking bubblicioush, that was not the exact word but it was his message, he sees the world as very vulnerable to bubbles, and not just in stock prices but in property markets, as well. He called the u. S. Economy still weak and vulnerable. He says technology and Financial Sector stocks seem most stretched. He still sees value in energy and health care, so far this year the broadbased s p 500 index is up more than 26 . Well, jim paulson is not buying the bubble talk, saying there is still a lot of upside in the market, jim, nice to have you with us. So tell us why youre not expecting any bubble trouble after a Nobel Prize WinningEconomist Says that things are vulnerable. You know, susie, i think the primary thing that creates sort of a bubble economy and ultimately a recession is just simply too much confidence about the future. When all the players, consumers, businesses, policy officials, everybody gets really bullish about the future they start to engage in dumb behaviors, they stretch the balance sheets, hire too many people and buy that second summer home and that is the thing that ultimately has to be corrected. And i think that confidence is better today but were still at confidence levels that are below average by a longterm historic norm, and i think the description i would give is were more comfortable, maybe, but were certainly not euphoric, the type of confidence that begets behaviors, that brings about a bubblelicbubblel type risk. We have low inflation and Rising Interest Rates that really are not at a point where they pose competition for stocks. But you still have an economy that is not growing all that fast. And a market that has. Cant you concede that the market may be more vulnerable at these levels to a shock . Whether it is something that comes from the outside or from washington or something that we cant foresee than it was a year ago . Well, i think that is true, tyler, every day the market goes up, it is somewhat more vulnerable than it was at very depressed levels. But something to remember, the market is up from 2009, where it was in 2009 was equally artificial. I mean, it had fallen a lot, not necessarily because of fundamentals, but mainly because of fear. Excessive fears about one armagedon, all of them proved false, they didnt occur. So in some sense, the rise in the market just gets us back to a meaningful reality. Were up, but i dont think were extended. Were selling at around 16 times, trailing earnings right now. And market history would suggest that market peaks, the major market peaks are in low 20s. I think well continue to have Earnings Growth over the next few years. And well probably have arise further evaluations. It wont be a straight line, indeed, next year, well get a correction. Were a long ways from the market which is more vulnerable to a major correction. All right, the challenge for investors is finding value in this kind of a market, where can they find value . Well, i would look i would look within this country, first, i would like to be a little tilted offshore, susie, towards the nationInternational Markets think the dollar will remain weak favoring the developing markets. Here, i kind of like the markets, you want to have stuff tied to the economy, well continue to get good manufacturing ports. I think well have good economic reports. So i like the materials and industrial stocks, kind of the manufacturing sector. I still like the financials here. Maybe later in the year if Interest Rates back up a little bit and we get more pressure on the market then you may want to move your allocation more defensively to the staple stock. All right, well have as to leave it here, jim, thank you very much for coming on the program. Jim paulson. And perhaps the concerns about the market, investors poured money into the equity funds. The data shows that more than 31 billion went into all equity mutual funds and insured traded stock funds, that is the sixth month in a row that the stock flow has out paced bond flows. And investors are pouring money into the stocks, they are stingy about the black friday weekend. The national retafederation rep they spent less money than last year, over the fourday weekend it is estimated spending fell. The retailers are counting on online sales to significantly boost overall revenues. In fact, ebay was a strong standout. We got a look inside the Amazon Fulfillment Center in arizona, for the expectations and logistics surrounding today. Reporter the Holiday Weekend shopping sprees are not over yet. The National Retail federation says 131 million americans will shop on this cyber monday, expected to spend 1. 8 billion today. Up 13 over last year. While impressive growth, the total is small compared to the estimated 57. 4 billion spent over the black friday weekend. Some forecasters suggest that cyber monday has lost some of the strength as they blur the lines between the stock market and the black friday promotions. Nevertheless, it is expected to be one of the cyber mondays and the holiday seasons biggest winners, this is what amazon calls the slam line, about the midway point in the fulfillment process here at the center in phoenix, arizona, now amazon has not given us any expectations for cyber monday, but we know in 2012 more than 306 items were ordered per second around the world. These buildings have been really full. We have so much product in them right now. This is the fullest i have ever seen them. And it is were ready for what we believe is going to be a really big season. Amazon is not the only beneficiary of the surge in online shopping. Fedex says for the first time in its history, today, cyber monday will not only be its busiest day of the season, but its busiest day ever. As they ship orders and they begin to enter the system. Just another sign that the rules of the game are changing, with many shopping from their phones, we may not talk about cyber monday as much next year.

Reporter jakim says it has been a lot easier to enroll people for the Health Care Insurance than last month. A couple of weeks ago you couldnt do anything. Reporter last week he was able to help people apply and shop all in one sitting. People came in, and in half an hour, they found insurance. Reporter not so today. Although the Obama Administration says it more than doubled the capacity of the insurance marketplace to handle 50,000 users at a time, after five weeks of trouble shooting. By late are morning, more than 375,000 people had gone into the site, landing in a virtual waiting room that holds their place in an online queue. But if the front end remains slow, the insurers say the big problem is the back end of the marketplace, the actual planned enrollment system continues to generate faulty information. The Health Care Plans are receiving enrollment files that have problems, including missing or inaccurate information. And in some cases, they are not receiving the Health Care Files at all. Reporter in many cases, they have to enroll them by hand. Having the complete enrollment information is essential for coverage to be able to begin on january first. Reporter the state and federal exchange have generated more than 230,000 confirmed elections through november 30th. Insurers already back logged trying to process the applications, worrying that they wont be able to handle the new surge and get them processed in time for coverage to begin january first. The insurers say they have now fixed the major flaws with the insurance files on healthcare. Gov. And they expect that now the process will go more smoothly. They will certainly be put to the test in the days to come. Bertha coombs, nightly business reform. And could projected reforms in mexico open up new lucrative opportunities for american companies.
