Potentially on your 401 k late rally. We are hearing about a new way to manage your retirement warning. Its a fancy footwork that could payoff for you. Well tell you about it. Thanksgiving travel could be a mess. Thats video from chicago this morning and that is just the beginning. The forecast, look at that in chicago. Rick santelli, lebeau, were thinking of you. Hi, ty. We begin with ferguson, missouri. There was rioting last night in the wake of the grand jurys decision. There are News Conferences going on right now. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted. We have two interesting headlines out of the opec meeting or discussions in front of them.
