"after the bell" on this friday starts right now. david: as the markets all settle in the green, with the exemption of the russell 2000, let's get to today's action. we have scott shimmer horn, chief investment officer whose last stock pick by the way is up more than is a%, not bad since he told you to buy -- 15%. you have to listen to what he has to offer. scott becauser in the pits of the cme. scott, i want to start with you, keeping with a theme that there is nothing negative that can keep this market down, you noticed there's a lot of money that exited the bond fund but a lot of it has not yet gone into equities. a lot of people would say, that is not a good sign for the stock market. you say not so. that is a good sign. why? >> you take the contrarian look at things and you see all of this money that had to go somewhere but it didn't come into this market like you said. that means people are cautious. people are overly cautious we're at a top. that usually signals a rally is going to continue. the take what the public sentiment is and you usually go the opposite way in the short run. and on top of that, david, look at the vix. the last three times that we had a selloff, the vix had absolutely bottomed out at 12.20, 12.30. spiked up. we have not seen the spike since it bottomed out. it has gone up a little bit, but not a spike. i always like to take the contrarian viewpoint and really the sentiment of the marketplace, the market typically goes against that. liz: this is stunning. the dow was down 150 points today and look how it fought back. and, scott, it is appearing that the dow will have been up for five weeks in a row. here you go. you look at that. it eked out a gain. that would stand to reason you are correct but how long doesn't this continue? at some point doesn't a little gray show around the temples of the bulls? >> it sure does does. these guys are really frustrated back here. i was standing out here a good portion of the day especially midday we were down 150. everybody was looking for a big flush but a continue to the downside. then the gradual boost up during the day. a lot of traders got caught short. i'll tell you optimism out here is not real high for next week going into all these economic reports yet they don't want to fight what's going on because the last couple of times they have they have gotten burned. david: look at amazon. perfect example. >> absolutely. david: scott, this market is trading 14 times next year's earnings. do you think that sounds overvalued? at love people look at that and say, gee, that is not an overvaluation, there is lot more room for this market to grow? scott schermerhorn, go ahead. >> no, david, i would agree. i don't think the market is overvalued at you will. yes, i don't think it is overvalued at all, david. i think the market is in normal ranges and we expect it to continue that way. i understand the other scott's.about the economic indicators but markets always trade at valuations. i think what has happened some of the economic indicators created volatility but companies are delivering earnings and that is what people pay attention to. liz: i'm glad you're saying that, scott schermerhorn because you get a lot of nervous nelly, they say oh, the earnings are not good, they're meeting but not beating and a lot of guidance has been not too exciting but if, if how you feel is correct, where are the sectors where people could really jump in right now and make some money? scott schermerhorn. >> liz, i think technology remains very attractive. i think, i think technology is attractive. i think energy remains attractive. there are a lot of bright spots out there. areas less so are some of the dividend stocks which would be consumer staples and utilities. but i think, for example, apple. i've never seen a company go from so loved year-and-a-half ago to so hated recently. i argue it shouldn't have been as loved as it was in the past and shouldn't be as did e disliked as it is right now. david: scott, let's take an example. apple is the stock everybody loves to hate. used to be the a stock nobody had anything bad to say about but we got reports today they're still selling product. people like apple product. over 31 million iphones, much higher than expectations. so they, as long as you can sell product and as long as you have a good product and a good support system the stock and the company should be admired, no? >> absolutely. it's very inexpensive. it is one of the cheapest technology stocks out there i would argue and has one of the best brand and one of the highest demand going forward. people were picking through the report. ipads weren't as good but iphones where everyone thought would fall off a cliff came in very strong and we expect to see that continue. now you have new product launches coming out. we don't know what they are yet but the company hinted for that. so i think it is a good entry point for investors. liz: scott bauer, i look all that happened. so many people are on the sidelines. we had janet engles of rbc, she has 200 billion in assets under management last hour she says she watches bond fund flows. people were pulling money out of bond fund but they weren't putting them directly into equity funds. so you don't have the euphoria that is necessary for a market top. so there is still opportunity here? >> no i completely agree. that is what we discussed earlier. the money is on the sidelines and typically when you see the big inflows, and everybody is just jubilant over the marketplace that's where the market maybe tend to be like a butter finger and slips up a little bit but we haven't seen that and there's still so much cash on the sidelines and people are saying, we'll get that 2, 3% pullback and i'll put it in. it is not happening right now. i would somewhat disagree with the other scott in regards to earnings. top lynum members were good. botulinum members, you know, not so great. i would say this earnings season has been tepid at best yet the market sun believely resilient. david: but scott bauer, one thing i would say about a question whether or not we have too much enthusiasm, look what happened with amazon. sam son loses numbers around yet the stock was up 3% today. that, that, that is some trepidation in my sole whether the market is overbought -- soul. >> i wish i would have dipped at 2.90 when the earnings report came out. i agree with you. who knows why it was up today. it was remarkable. that is sense of what is going on in the general marketplace right here. david: scott bauer, scott schermerhorn, thank you very much, with respect gentlemen. have a great weekend. liz: thank you to you both. the race to become the next federal reserve chairman is on. two candidates emerged as front-runners if you're stacking up news reports and d.c. gossip that is. janet yellen, larry summers who has got the upper hand? the man with the inside track on so many things federal reserve, jon hilsenrath is live next. david: he really moves markets on this subject. the president looks to shift the conversation back to the economy in a whole series of speeches that began this week, his big push, inequality. it is job number one for him but what is really more important to our nation to the businesses in our economy?

we have a reporter could is considered a fed insider. jon hilsenrath with "the wall street journal" and fox business's very own rich edson. jon, we should say you have so many breaking stories on this issue all the time and they're always on point. let's get right to the leadership here and are we right to say, because all the articles say it is either janet yellen or larry summers are we missing somebody? let me come out on that one first. >> that is a really good question. this story has gotten so hot this week. there is a possibility that the two blow each other up and some third candidate comes in and gets the job. when we've been write about this we've been talking about there are other people potentially on the list. one guy to look out for is tim geithner. another guy names roger ferguson who used to be the number two at the fed. right now it is really yellin and summers i think we have to keep an eye on. david: isn't the summers pick kind after feint, jon? seems janet yellen is so much more obamaesque in her extreme dovishness. larry summers kind of queasy about the whole idea of continuing qe much longer. he is known as sort of a centrist democrat. she of course is far to the left on monetary policy plus her husband and she, her husband is nobel prize-winning economist who spoke out of against global warming and we have to do warm in that regard. she seems to be more obamaesque, no? >> she is very liberal, no question about that. this is one of the things so fascinating about this story is the constituency for summers is inside the white house. some of obama's closest advisors jack lew, gene sperling, these are people who have long relationships with obama, i'm sorry with summers and obama does too. summers worked for obama in the early part of his administration. the constituencies for yellin are outside of the white house. they're up on capitol hill, for instance. when we talk to people in the markets, most of them would say they rather have yellin than a summers in part because yellin means continuity. if you're in the market you want to see, have some stability in policy. david: jon let's face it, really because yellin is likely to print more money, right? >> that is certainly something stock investors would like. would i think bond investors might get a little worried about inflation if they shout she was. we don't hear a lot of that at this point. that is definitely one knocks on her. so one of the arguments is that because she's so dovish and so tolerant of prices going higher she would have to earn her stripes in the markets and be, and tighten policy sooner than a larry summers would. liz: she earned her stripes, rich edson with some senator, democratic senators who have been circulating a letter that i believe they sent to the president. have you read the letter? what does it say? why do they like janet yell minute? >> we have the letter here thanks to our top producer silvia hall who obtained it. what you see there is no direct shot at larry summers. very complimentary of janet yellen, independence, intellectual rigor and willing to challenge conventional wisdom regarding deregulation, traits success essential for a successful fed chairman. liz: you think they don't like larry summers because he was a part of getting rid of glass-steagall, the regulation that separated banks from the investment arms of banks and as long as that was in place we never had a dramatic financial crisis the likes which we saw when it was finally gotten rid of no the line i read right there, if anything that was a veiled shot to larry summers. there is no direct link to him in this letter. this is all a pro-yellin letter. these are more liberal democratic senators who written to president obama. that is their concern. many had similar concerns with federal reserve chairman ben bernanke. in his last confirmation vote he lost 11 democrats because of problems on the left, not the center. >> bank regulation, bank supervision is a bbg subtext of this as it advances. not only was summers and the treasury when it was deregulating under the clinton administration but, you know, he has close associations with wall street. this is something we're working on right now. but he has advised hedge funds. he advised banks. so there's this this revolving door question i think he will have to answer. yellen is an academic and fed person that is what she has done her whole life. she doesn't have to answer that question. the whole question how summers would perform as a bank regulator is also a very big part of this. david: there is one final point to be made here, jon. you never know exactly what a fed person will do once they become the chair. paul stroller, was the machish hawk that ever existed in that job in my lifetime was appointed by jimmy carter who liked easy money. you never know quite what you're going to get, right. >> absolutely. i think we know what we'll get with yellin. she is very supportive of the fed's easy money policies. we don't know what we'll get with summers. summers is known as a clever guy but not someone who is really spoken out very aggressive about what the fed's doing. liz: good to see both of you. jon hilsenrath and rich he had send thanks very much. david: thanks, guys. liz: crocs has come a long way since it launched famous classic clogs 11 years ago. how are the company's latest products doing with fab r fashion conscious consumesser not necessary less here but in asia?

>> no. the problem is the all the policies and principles that stand in the way of this economy growing. uncertainty about the dollar. huge taxes. obamacare crushing small businesses. we see redistribution in europe and we see what that's done especially in southern europe. instead of focusing on covering the up the pie, how about increasing the size of the pie? that is what he doesn't get. david: darlene it, has been six i mean, we had the trillion dollar stimulus. we had his trillion dollar health care although some of that still needs to be rolled out. we've had tax increases regulation increase. it is his policies. if there is inequality, isn't his policies that led to this inequality? >> well, i think the only way to get the economy back on track is to really do what steve was saying. we need to encourage small businesses and encourage entrepreneur, and reduce the taxation, reduce the regulation and encourage innovation and small businesses to hire. david: darlene, when you're with the president, these jobs councils meetings or his representatives because i know he doesn't attend them all, do you tell him this and how does he respond or his representatives respond? >> they seem to be genuinely interested in obviously creating jobs in the different sectors, whether it is infrastructure, energy, or, especially manufacturing. but unfortunately we see a lot of things that stand in our way, and stand in new businesses starting. david: steve, the middle class, the president has been insistent he cares about and will formulate all his ideas about the concerns of the middle class. again, that is the strength of america. i agree 100% of that, but no president has done worse for the middle class than this president. look at median income. over the past, 11 or 12 years, of course came down tremendously as a result of the great recession but it hasn't recovered since? >> no. this is the worst recovery, in some ways even worse than the recovery from the bottom of the great depression. it is government policies that stand in the way. when you don't reward capital, i.e., suppress interest rates. that hurts lending to small businesses. you have tax increases which you mentioned. increased government spending takes resources out of the economy. massive new regulations coming not just from obamacare, epa and other government agencies. small business, most of them have small margins. these are killers. david: darling len, one of the -- darlene, one of the things great about the past dozen years low or zero interest rates that helped borrowing costs. if you can get a loan. a lost small businesses can't get one. but do other costs, cost of regulation and cost of new taxation, do they overcome the benefits from low interest rates? >> the costs of all the regulatory and all the un, our health care rising 15 to 20% per year, our utility costs increasing continuously, our wages are increasing. so, we don't see the benefits. we see more uncertainty. and actually, with the large companies, it is the same. and my business is very diversified. so if the big businesses are not doing well, we're not going to do well. it depends on all of us in the same playing field. david: we should say, a lot of people casually say there is no inflation. there is inflation, certainly in energy costs. very quick. i'm getting a wrap, but very quick from both of you. one thing, the one thing that the president could do to increase growth and make it easier for businesses? first steve and then darlene? >> put obamacare on the backburner for a while. and start over again so we don't have those regulations and anti-job regulations coming down the road. that would be huge. david: darlene? >> really look at the tax code for small businesses. especially s-corps. and embryce the idea to entice and incentivize small businesses to start to innovate and to grow and to hire people. david: by the way, darlene has the best saying, that encompasses the american dream i ever heard. you are never given a dream without the opportunity to make it come true. i agree with that. those are words to live by. darlene miller, steve forbes. appreciate it. >> thank you. david: don't forget to catch steve force and me on "forbes on fox." that is 11:00 a.m. eastern time on the fox news channel liz?
