This year. This pocketsized charger is packing a serious punch. And we have Nicole Petallides watching out for us at the new york talk exchange. Reporter that is right, the dow jones and the s p 500 hitting alltime record highs today. Just when we thought the rally was over. Up 81 points. The s p 500 up about a half precent. And the nasdaq, helped along by apple. Fortyone, 43. These are the highest levels that we have seen. The s p 500 is also out. If you are an insider and you follow the sox coming have to update your numbers. Up 5 today. New highs, up 37 busier or facebook. That is a great year. Adam thank you very much. The s p 500 up 35 , on track for its best year since 1997. We just learned from nicole. The my next guest says despite the major gains, this is the most hated bull market that he has seen in his nearly 30 year career. Hank smith is a chief Investment Officer for haverford trust. And you dont think that this is even close to being over. I remember in january of this year having analysts say, get ready for a 20 correction. You say that they were wrong and will continue to be wrong in 2014. Hank thats right, it was the fiscal cliff and sequestration. One of the reasons this is the most hated bull market is because so many people have been out of it. Individuals and equities and there has been so much concern up until recently about the next big disaster. And it just hasnt happened. So i think that we are somewhere in the middle of this bull market. Adam let me ask you this. Has the s p 500 become too expensive . It is almost 19 times, it should be along 16. But people like you say thats not too expensive. Or is that . Given the levels of inffation, the low levels of interest rates, i think that the s p 500 is fairly valued. And we have seen an uptick in economic activity, which we think will lead to slightly better earnings growth. And so i think that we are definitely having correction and pull back, which is a part of the bull market. But the fundamentals do look good for the stock market. Adam one metric that i read that when we have these structural bull market, is that a valid metric to be looking at . Well, i think that we certainly can look at that. We look at the fundamentals and we look at sentiment. And we are nowhere near worrying. You have fear and greed and we are a long way away from greed. We are just starting to see equities, having seen five years of persistent outflows. So there is a lot of money on the sidelines and we have not seen the rotation out of bonds yet. Adam guice for Retail Investors coming back in the second half of this year. And i was listening to analysts on here who would say that they had missed the upswing. But it turns out that they didnt. At some point the fastest turnaround. Does it not . You are right. At some point we need to pull back. We need a correction. That would be healthy because thats part of an ongoing bull market. And we havent had a correction since the summer of 2011. And we havent had a pullback since 2012. So we are definitely overdue. And it wasnt the beginning of tapering as so many people thought. The market has a wonderful way of our confounding consensus expectations. Adam you talked about the rotation out of bonds. That money has to go somewhere. You expect that to be flowing into equities . Well, some of it well. There wont be any great rotation. But you can still find attractive yields in the equity market despite higher prices. And you are getting bond white yields with growth of dividends. So that is a big theme. We saw major dividend increases last week from boeing, pfizer, companies are returning cash to shareholders, share buyback, and we think that that will continue to accelerate in 2014. Adam all right, hank smith, thank you so much. Have a terrific 2014. I hope that you are correct about your predictions for the coming year. Happy new year to you as well. Adam chinas cash squeeze. Enter bank lending rates climbing to their highest level. A panic continuing to ripple through china. Expect from a. 2 on friday to 9. 8 today. The highest level since june. And a surge in the cost of borrowing despite an injection of almost 50 billion from the peoples bank of china last week. The cash crisis and scrambling to obtain funds in an effort to meet funding requirements combined with monetary tightening innchina. And today, the markets were slightly optimistic. Breaking their longest losing streaks in almost two decades. And there is more confusion regarding obamacare despite reports to the contrary. Today is the deadline for obamacare. Joining us from washington, rich edson. I thought the president had issued a royal decree giving everyone a part in that you didnt have to meet the deadlines that today was not the deadline, but im wrong and my humor is probably off target. Reporter thats right, its like election day. The government will keep them open to ensure everyone who shows up vote. That is what they are doing with healthcare. Gov. The centers for medicare and Medicaid Services are anticipating high demand and the fact that consumers may be enrolling from multiple time zones, taking steps to make sure that those who select a plan will get coverage for january 1. So if you are stuck on healthcare. Gov today, the government will allow you to sign up by the end of tomorrow and you will still have insurance at january 1. But you still have to go today in order to take advantage of that and that is when the bulk of obamacare goes into effect. Some businesses like the manufacturers trade groups say it will cost them a billion. 90 have indicated that they expect the cost of Health Insurance go up. In 77 have indicated that Health Insurance costs are primary challenge of 2014. So clearly the cost is a big issue going forward. Whether 2014, 2015 or 2016. Reporter tax credits for workers and businesses will make this more affordable. But this is the year, all the coverage provisions going into effect. This includes their premiums and what they are paying into it. Alllof that has yet to be determined in 2014 with the future of health care on the line. The deadlines, the obligations, im going to leave that to you. Adam turning to commodities now, fox business contributor phil flynn. We thought that demand was getting stronger. I think the market is ahead of itself. If you look at the United States and around the globe, i think the prices are ahead of themselves. Normally seasonally at the end of the year, the markets rally at the end of the year and then pull one back. And showing up in the first week of january. Despite this, demand will be stronger and we have a lot more supply. Theres a lot of other things going on as well. A spike in gasoline prices and we have Cool Temperatures where we use more oil. Adam gold prices down. Some are saying that its no longer a safe haven. Thats right. Nobody is scared. That is the thing. Thats nothing to be afraid of. Stocks go up every day. And theres a lack of it there. And if you look at the divergence between commodities and stocks, we have had the longest convergence between these markets probably in history. You know, that leads me to believe that commodities are way undervalued or stocks are way too high and i think that we will meet in the middle. Adam we will learn from you and that happens. Thank you very much. And check out the apple iphone. Going out to the mideast. And a huge expansion as it gains access to the deans subscribers and that is two times the population of the United States. China mobile is the largest carrier. And meanwhile, a rough road ahead.

Adam back to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. You are watching the menswear retailer. Who do you have . We are looking at mens warehouse and joseph banks. That is the kind of relationship that these two companies have. Trying hard to collaborate and finding a way to do this. Joseph banks, 2. 3 billion, mens warehouse thought that was ridiculous and not enough. Now you have mens warehouse offering thhm 1. 8 billion. And they are saying that youre clearly undervaluing our company. In the meantime, they are trying to continue to work together. But joseph banks is trying to reeiew the strategic options. But the idea is that it would be great for those companies and its very difficult to get these numbers right because they clearly think that they are more valuable than what the others are offering. Adam thank you very much. And super frustration over the holiday hack. This happened as evidence rises that fake cars are coming into the market. With more on this, we have the bottom line with elizabeth. Select talk about this. Fears are mounting on the part of consumers because of what is happening. We still dont know the details and what caused the breach. We spoke with Law Enforcement as well and there is a concern of a serious Security Breach and the fact that it happened at point of service. But it did not happen over the internet, it tells Law Enforcement that there is something going on internally but we have yet to hear the details about after the world learned that 40 million credit and debit cards were hacked at target. Adam so does that mean perhaps someone on the inside could be a part of his . That is the ongoing concern in the part of Law Enforcement. And i will tell you that right now we have a number of individuals coming out, some of the lawsuits were saying that we were not notified in time that there was a breach. We have target reacting, saying that we were going to give people a 10 discount and they are saying that we have zero liability and all of them are not liable for fraud. But when you dig deeper, we will limit you to these withdrawals and that tells us that they are not playing around the. Adam any one of them could be a concern. And it is something that we know is very secure. So whether or not it will be possibly developing within the next few months. Adam counting down to 2014. How can you feel no matter where you are on the planet. A pocketsized phone charger. This is the quicksilvecash back card from capital one.

New yook time for Christmas Eve. Both the New York Stock Exchange and nasdaq will close on wednesday for christmas holiday. Thats the latest from the fox business network, giving you the power to prosper. Adam bill asman releesed a letter to investors explaining why he thinks it is still a scam, but several investors prepare for a large stock buyback. Charlie gasparino has the latest, the first to report that the potential on the buyback. It is odd timing. He comes out today, right on the eve. Business each east. He comes out. And this letter just kinda rationalizes what he has done. A short position, has lost Something Like 700 million, threequarters of a billion. By the way, he has overbuilt expectations. He gave no new information. One of the reasons he says he does not want to interfere with ongoing regulatory scrutiny. He continues to attack herbalife as a pyramid scheme. He says the regulators are closing in. His words dont based upon his recent discussions with them. We should point of that the bull side of this is in the court of carl icahn believes that herbalife could reach 100 per share. A lot of people think that this buyback which could come in the new year, a lot of talk about and hiring a banker. A big buyback which is basically a pushing the stock up. That could come. We will save it. It is interesting. Telling investors that the big stock buyback would actually help his position. If you remember what he has done recently, he transformed his short,on the stock. When it goes down into something known as a credit by, credit devolves swaps. Adam if he loses he will make money. The price goes up if you increase your debt. So if herbalife goes out and does a leveraged buy back, buying back shares, going into debt, he believes that he will make money on his credit the fall swaps because what will happen is increased debt means the likelihood of default grows. And the prices go up. One thing he also said to me, unlikely suede by anything other than what he described as regulatory action. In other words, until we know about a publicized regulatory action by the sec, sec ftc. He is now saying that there is really no price decline. Adam lets look at the price right now. It is up today, but last week, friday, 81. Here is the deal. This stock was around 30 after he came out. When he says he is talking to regulators, you and i both know that when we have off the record discussions, we know the person on the inside is the regulator we are talking to. When he says water regulator talk to him, why would someone from the sec or ftc have a 1on1 . I would say that regulators at the sec, i know them more than the ftc. I will tell you, they do listen to short sellers. There has been a longstanding i dont want to say bias, but custom at the securities a Securities Exchange commission to listen to shorts because the likelihood of stock fraud on the long side, pennystock promotions, the stuff that jordan bell for use to do, the sec is worried about that. They take into account a lot of what they say. Adam switched over to them when youre ago. And i just cannot believe they are disclosing there hands to him. Adam they would never want public what they were about. N saying this stuff, talking to regulators and we all know there is an sec examination of what he says about herbalife being a pyramid scheme. What does up the pyramid scheme means . Is not a ponzi scheme, not outright stealing. It is a Business Model. Avon has it. They have distributors. Amway. The Company Makes most of its money on getting other distributors. So the theory is once those distributors dried up because there is not enough end users, well, the pyramid collapses. That is what he says herbalife is. And lets just say this about the notion of a pyramid scheme, ponzi scheme. It could take years for that to happen. Adam could he be trying to gain traction about the weak and articles about Dietary Supplements . The New York Times article . Maybe. Nd also, you know, i know he will not be as public. That is what i have been told by his handlers. He will appeal going out there, doing interviews. He will not put this down. I think his fund is about. Short on this. I will say this, a cautionary tale for people who want to invest with these superstar managers and pay feee. If you look at what the market is done this year, the market up this year . Sold 30 . I guarantee his hedge fund is not. They are not lately. So just remember that. He might be up 11 , and that would be lucky. Adam 2 and then 20 . Redo it for 1 . Well, we do for vanguard. [laughter] adam Charlie Gasparino to emigrate to see you. Want to have back to the floor of the new york stock keychains. The last full trading day before christmas. Keith, it is a nice day. We will have, it looks like a positive close. Anything that investors should be worried about, a correction that some said we would have in january that just never came about. It never did. They are waiting and waiting. The short sellers had a pretty miserable year. As you were just talking with charlie, of the hedge funds from both long and short. That is why they are lagging the market. Analysts see anything to stop this market. The santa claus rally will convince commence sen. The news is mostly good. We see how Fourth Quarter earnings come in and we will start getting those the second week of january. When our earnings start to roll over we will keep an eye on those. That is the only thing that i can see standing in the way in 2014 for the continuation of this rally. Adam from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Happy holidays. Sent to you. Adam the same technology that helps men and women on the battlefield, but now those heatsensing trackers are helping retailers once you inside their store. We will show you how next. It is the place to count down to a 2014. How you can ring in the new year in times square no matter where you are. I take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn.

Unlimited 1. 5 cash back on eve purchase, everywhere, evy single day. So ask yourself, whats in yo wallet . Adam helping santa know what to put under your tree in giving retailers an edge over their competition, devices that track cue, the shopper, now being used across the country. How does all this work . A couple of ways this works. He went to a Company Based in boston. Download the application and put it on your phone and use it as you go through the store to go shopping. So many people actually already use their phone whether theyre scanning prices are looking at things, colors, whenever as they go through the store. The idea is to put technology with the good oldfashioned walkin trade. 90 percent of all sales will still go that way. We know from talking to them that this will detect when you are near by sending messages to your phone about specials, specific offers and discounts to adjust for you. It is a new world, and consumers are smart in terms of how to use their smart phones. They know that close to 70 percent of them take up their phone to try and Research Work product issue by the mower the best prices are. So we make it easy for retailers to define exactly what theyre looking for. Adam and number of Different Companies doing this. That is the way this world as it. You know that they will interact with you in that store. Of course, a lot of consumers like that idea because they know they are being followed at the same time they can interact with the store and was specials could come their way. Adam has it been successful . So far is seems to have been. Shoppers we talked to like the idea because they know they are being tracked. There are other customers out there, heat sensing technology, others tracking from where you move, moving displays around. Shoppers are congregating in one area. A little more controversial because they do not know they are being tracked. Other companies let the shopper make that decision themselves. They plan on expanding this to all store. Having the opportunity to a make an instant notification to a Consumer Base needs to be either in that moment, however, day, that kind of flexibility, speed, paramount to success. Adam others are also going toward this. Two ways of looking at this, download, interact with the store, go through. And im looking at my phone when i went shopping. I have a number of different apps that i use when i am in there. That is a good way. The other is a bit more controversial where theyre tracking you and you dont know. Adam someone is always watching you, that song from the 80s, i feel like someone is watching me. All right. The number of people watching the new years eve ball drops in times square just got a whole lot bigger. Downtown entertainment is creating a free mobile application that will allow a user to watch a live 6hour web cast whicc will include behindthescenes interviews, music performances and, of course, the muchanticipated countdown to the ball dropped.

Nicole, the dow is up 65 points. You have the green, i have got the red on, girl. You see that . We have it all covered here on wall street especially in this holiday shortened week.

Credit card companies, were watching a lost these names moving higher. 3 google new high. Facebook moving into the s p 500, new high as well. Back to you. Ashley nicole, thank you very much. Now that the fed started tapering and removed a big uncertainty for the market what will the new year bring for wall street and main street . Michael jones, Riverfront Investment Group. Michael, thank you so much for joining us. You say they played their taper hand we develop. Why . Mainly because ben bernanke did not taper in september when everyone expected him to but the Economic Data simply wasnt Strong Enough to support a change in fed policy by holding back he allowed a much stronger pattern in nonfarm payrolls to develop over recent months so by the time he actually tapered the market was convinced were only going to have to put up with taper and less accommodative fed to the extent we get the support of faster economic growth. It was really masterfully done. Ashley okay. But lets get to the crux of the story. You say main street will finally begin to feel effects of the recovery. So far it is a great story on wall street but the cheap money is not packed down to banks and consumers and Small Businesses that need it. Why do you think that will happen next year . We think at long last were ready it see banks be the money printing engines of the u. S. Economy. The last five years the fed aggressively printed money because the normal money printing mechanism of the u. S. Eeonomy, the private sector Banking System, has not been making loans. There have beennvery good reasons for that. They have had to rebuild their capital. They had to pay for past since from a regulatory perspective, and frankly from a fine and legal action perspective. Were starting to turn the corner on some of those headwind to the normal money printing neck system from the Banking System. The fed, the problem with the fed is, that the primary source of money print something all that gets bought with fedprinted money are financial instruments. Those are the things at that go up. Ashley right. When the Banking System is where the happens, homes, cars get bought, inventory, equipment, all important for the economy. Ashley we had terrific returns on the markets this year. Do you expect those kind of well, taper if you like to use that word a little bit in the new year . If you have money, where are you putting it . I think in the u. S. We need to recognize that the powerful rally 2013 has left the market pretty much so at average valuations for the last 140 years. Average valuation should lead us to expect average returns. That means dont be dialing another 20, 25 into your expectations. It should be more like 5, maybe you get tapering on the fed, thats a headwind. You get accelerating growtt, thats a tailwind. They pretty much cancel. By contrast, if you move overseas, youre still about 20 cheap in europe, about 20 cheap in japan and there the policy will stay very, very accommodative, very, very stimulative. We think you could get doubledigit returns overseas. That is where our portfolio is allocated. Ashley very good. Lastly, we have people say, hey, emerging markets are always good value. You dont think theyre cheap enough right now . No, we actually think, weve had a long, long bull market in commodities, starting back after the russian collapse and oil getting down into the single digits. It is been a long wonderful run for commodities and the commodity sensitive emerging markets. We think the long bull market led to elevated valuations only in recent years started to come back down to average. Ashley right. We think we may have an overshoot as china continues to pull back from lots of investment in infrastructure and we think we will see cheap markets best emerging markets finally bottom and get back to the positive side. Ashley very good indeed. Great information. Michael jones, Riverfront Investment Group, thanks for joining us and happy holidays to you. Happy holidays to you. Ashley coming up on after the bell, liz claman will talk exclusively to Dallas Federal Reserve president richard fisher. These are the first Public Comments by the way since the taper decision. Dont want to miss it. 4 00 p. M. Right here on fox business. Richard fisher and liz claman. Tracy all right. Today is the official deadline to sign up for Health Care Coverage for january 1st. Of course of next year. This is all under obamacare but due to the expected high volume and enrollee traffic today the Administration Made yet another change to the law. Rich edson joins us live from d. C. With yet another delay. What is going un, rich . As long as Health Care Customers try to go showing today be at federal exchange, they have until the end of tomorrow to pick a health plan and have coverage by january 1st. There is just too much traffic on the federal exchange today. Consumers have to wait a few minutes before they can actually begin applying w that official offiiials say we quote many cheesen to make their final decision on todays deadline and were committed to making sure they can do so. Weehave taken steps for those who select ad plan through tomorrow will get coverage by january 1st. And that 2014. It begins a period of uncertainty for the Health Insurance system as the bulk of the law goes into effect. One analyst says the law needs even more fixs. Were going to have to fix the individual mandate to make sure we get young invincibles into the insurance market. We will have to fix the way states can deal with medicaid so that its more uniform and consistent. Right now as you know we have 24 states not expanding their medicaid program. Were going to have to fix, and really position the Cost Containment part of the law which is not getting a lot of attention. This is the elimination of feeforservice and replacing that with valuebased purchasing. Now the administration has already delayed a handful of mandates for minute mull coverages, business and others. Other mandates, taxes and fees and insurance requirements go into full effect next week. Back to you. Tracy rich edson, thanks for keeping it all straight. Ashley for more on the obamacare deadline catch lou dobbs tonight at 7 00 p. M. Eastern time. I will sit in for lou tonight. Well talk to jack keen on spying for israel. Iran nuke talks and latest from south sudan. Tracy he is so cool. Ashley jack keane. Looks like it will not be a Holly Jolly Christmas for target. A new lawsuit and stolen customer information hitting the black market. Our own Liz Macdonald on the case. Ashley facebook on the s p 500 today. Are investors liking the social media company. Were going to the floor of the nyse to find out. Tracy look how oil is trading down, 50 cents. 98. 82 a barrel. Dow is up 62 points. Dont go anywhere. Tracy target getting slammed by federal investigators and consumers in the wake of. Retailers holiday hack attack targeting 40 million consumer debit and credit cards. With more on this, liz liz with emacs bottom line. Theyre pretty screwed, huh . Target is working really hard to regain the trust and confidence 6 its shoppers. We talked to Law Enforcement. There is deep concern on the part of Law Enforcement that the firewall was not secure for target for this to be point of sale situation. How could 40 million be affected and all of storrs . That to Law Enforcement that the firewall was too weak at target to stop these kind of hack jobs. Ashley if that is the case, im amazed it hasnt happened before now. I know the question is theyre trying to get to the bottom of it. Was it an inside job . That is the other question, ashley and trace. A week later we dont have details what exactly happened. Two, concern for a hack to happen in and around thanksgiving. What target is saying this. Well give customers 10 off. Fraud. Theyre going to get free credit card monitoring and debit carr monitoring. Theyre not going to ask for Social Security and pin numbers. Discover, amex, visa, mastercard and Jpmorgan Chase says you will not be responsible for fraud if your card was hit shopping at target. The so in other words theyre selling peoples information on a web site. They first broke the story, theyre coming into the market in bulk, plastic ripping off peoples identities to build these different plastic cards sold on the black market. Ashley these know these accounts have been hacked, how many Bank Accounts have been emptyd . Theyres what we do knee, Jpmorgan Chase, lets put up what jpmorgan is doing, theyre essentially saying, theyre estimating 2 million of their debit cards, that were used at a get. They will limit to 100, excuse me, 100, a day withdrawals. 300dollars daily purchasing. And it does not impact credit card users. This is the debit card. Jpmorgan is taking no chances here whatsoever. These are serious precautionary measures. Ashley wakeup, call, emac for retailers looking at their firewalls. The next step is no more magnetic stripe. You will have computer chip embedded in your card. That means more costs on all part of debit card issuers and retailers have to change the system to accept computer chip cards. Ashley best advice, if you use target during this period keep a very close close eye on accounts. Me, personally i canceled my credit card when i used it at target. I would say cancel, get a new card. Tracy i know we have to go. Firewall, whose responsibility . Target or point of service . Targets responsibility, according to Law Enforcement officials. Tracy good stuff, emac. Well keep going. Okay. Tracy thanks, girl. Ashley coming up just a quarter after the hour. Time to check the markets again. The dow up 65 points. Of Nicole Petallides on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with the latest, nicole. Just trying to give you guys an idea how broadbased this rally is.

Ashley easy return policies have been one of the hallmarks of internet shopping. Just ask tracy. Shoppers return items at little or no cost to themselves which retailers say helped increase sales volumes. The amount of returns are starting to weigh on profits and eretailers, theyrr fighting back. With more on this were joined by foxbusiness. Coms kate rogers. To tracys point. We were talking about this, if they offer Free Shipping people will buy in bulk and return in bulge. Free ship something consumers come to expect. This was national Free Shipping day. Sixth one in a row. More than a billion was spent. Wall street journal reported that 1 3 everything bought online winds up getting returned because you dont like it. 1 3. That is a big cost to retailers. Doesnt fit, you dont like it, whoever you give it to you dont like it. Tracy i will be first to admit i buy two of stuff and too lazy to return the one that doesnt fit. You have to go to the post office and envelope thing and it doesnt happen. Thats true. Ashley they love you. Companies are trying to figure out ways to curb this because it costs them money. For example, rue lala, last year alone, 5 million worth of returns coss their business. What theyre doing, giving you as consumer access to your shopping history with your company. They say you bought a medium this time. Bought a small last time. Buy same sizes again. Last time you returned the small, maybe go with the medium. Ceo, customers are not getting offended and dont mind at all. Ashley you wont fit into the small so dont bother. Theyre getting real with you. Ashley what about wardrobing. People wore the clothes and keep them and return them. Theyre called wardrobers. Keep the tags and return them and get money back. Macys and nordstroms with through fit will tell them how the clothes fit in real life. That will try to curb some of the returns. Tracy there is nothing these keep can do. Youre either offering Free Shipping and free returns or youre not. Thats so true. Retail me not said one in four consumers wont consider buying something if there isnt Free Shipping attached. If easiest thing you do a google coupon code for Free Shipping you get it if not automatically found on the website. I got it down. Ashley youre a complete professional. Are you rabid returner. Tracy im not. I dont get out much. Order three sizes even for the kids, i do it all the time. That is so true. One thing important to remember, women return things more than men. Men. At least 1 3 of consumers will return one gift this Holiday Season before new years. People are getting them in the mail and returning them right away. Ashley often biggest returners are tracking it are often the best customers. They have to be very careful, retailers not to upset them. Not tick them off. That is so true. Tracy at least returning, not regifting. Amen to that. Ashley kate rogers, very interesting stuff. Thank you so much. Thank you. Ashley you buy two. Dont send one back. Youre a dream for retail years unfor the that thely i get lazy and return in 30 days, and like 32nd day i forgot to return it. Happens all the time. Well change the subject a little here.

Nicole petallides down on floor of New York Stock Exchange. Looking at a restaurant, nicole. I am looking at darden. Darden under umbrella of olive garden, red lobster, longhorn steakhouse. These are the names youre familiar with under that darden umbrella. They have a lot of real estate. One of the activist investors, starboard value, which has taken a 5. 6 stake in darden because they have great ideas for the company according to them. This is what theyre thinking according to a regulatory filing they have this 374 move dollars investment. What they wanted to do, darden was thinking of spinning off red lobster. What starboard wants to do, put casual dining group into one group three names together and the real es state into a Real Estate Investment trust a reit. That echoes from last october of baron group they wanted darden to move into a reit and separate the. Darden is at 54. 50. Back to you. Tracy thank you, nicole. See you in a bit. 30 minutes or less, how about twominute pizzas . Mexican casual ining chain chipolte is launching a a partnership with two restaurateurs. We have the coowner from denver. Bob by, thank you for being with us. Tell everyone how this whole thing came about. How does chipolte hook up with, you know, a little entrepreneur like yourself. It started about 10 years ago, truly. My business partner, chef business partner, we open ad restaurant in boulder, and the founder of chipoltes is a good friend of ours, spend time at the restaurant and spend the night cooking in the kitchen with laughlin. We would have conversations about doing something together. He came in 2 1 2 years ago and saw the pizzeria we opened next to our restaurant, he was like, guys, this is something we could really do something very exciting and the first pizzeria was more of a sitdown. We spent 18 months meddtating how to fold it into the more than chipolte model, that fast casual piece of the equation. Ashley bobby my question is, now that youre tied in with this huge, massive, company out there, how much does that impact your daytoday operations . You are the classic, as tracy said, local entrepeneur. You had great success. Now youre being part ned partnered with this huge entity. Does that change things for you from a Business Model point of view . It does and it doesnt. Everything about it has been positive. Weve quietly working with them and working on this project for about 18 months. We oaked up the second pizzeria locale but the first one in the fast casual piece, we opened that one in may and it has been so positive. One thing we really get to work on things that we couldnt, if it was just us. Tracy right. For example tracy go ahead. One of the things i know you reengineered the ovens, right . So they rotate different and cook in about two minutes. Tell us about the concept then. How it makes everything go faster and still taste fabulous . Well you know the whole idea was to lower the price point, make piece rea local have wonderful ingredients to a more larger net of people where people could afford it. We wanted o work on the throughput, just like chipolte does a great job on their throughput, getting people their food quicker and easier. One thing we could work on is the oven where we could in two minutes get a pizza to the customer perfectly cooked. And launch lynn and help of some engineers designed an oven that does what we needed to do. Ashley bobby, here in new york city, that is great concept. They want good food and want it quickly. Are you looking to expand and could i enjoy this anytime in new york anytime soon . I hope we can, i dont know if anytime soon. Were pretty deliberate. It took us eight years to open a second restaurant but we do want it too be a little quicker now. Were looking for two more spaces in denver right now. Were going to be really deliberate and work on that. And build a better mousetrap. Tracy so how do you go from being wine con sure, James Beard Award winner, Thomas Keller in california to being a pizza guy. It has been pretty fun. You know, i wear all three hats. Im still a master somale and i will be at frasca and pizzeria local spy e. For diversity. Ashley is this how the industry could be going . These type of partnerships make sense . This makes a lot of sense if youre partnering with someone with a shared philosophy that you do. If you look, if you look at chipolte, look at whole mission statement. Much food with integrity. Using great ingredients. Getting more people to eat sustainable products that works hand in hand how we think every day. I think if you can bring those two meetings of the minds together no matter what your business is it will be a positive relationship. Tracy hopefully bringing your wine list to the pizzeria as well. Bobby stuckey, owner of fresca food and wine, thank you, sir for being with us. Thank you. Have a great week. Ashley you too. It is the battle of the robots.

Got off the ski lift with rick norton that run as ski school at place called swiss lally. Feels like were in switzerland this year. You had early season. A snowy season. Great news, right. Couldnt be any better. It is a wonderful christmas present. Christmas present, if you see our man on skis up there with the camera he is incredible. You need snow obviously. You know, took a look at the ski stocks. Like vail resorts for example, they have done tremendously well. And, it all hinges on the weather, right . Certainly it does. No different here than what it is out west. No snow, no sliding. Gotcha. Other stock to look at is a stock called zebra technology. They do Rfid Technology which, whoa, whoa, whoa. Last skied in 1986. I have to be careful there. They do Rfid Technology which they do chips instead of flip tag, right. Out west they do. We still do the lift tag here you betcha. Here is the other trend, to give you a sense of the trend. These smaller resorts, you say small, how many hills have you got here, rick. We advertise 11 runs. We have three chairs and two surface and have 11 runs. Gotcha. This is good size for me. I dont want too steep of a hill much this tends to be a feeder to the big resorts like the vails. This is where people learn how to ski and in fact, rick, thats what youre b youre about teaching them. Now these resorts are starting to buy some of the smaller resorts because these are feeders to them, rights . They realize theyre feeders. There is very few of us left family. We have lesson going here. Thank you. Appreciate the, heads up. There you go. It is, oh, up close and personal there, on a Beautiful Day and a beautiful snow season.

Time to look at stocks as we do lets head down to the New York Stock Exchange. Keith bliss among the few that turned up for work this week. Keith, surprisingly volume down about 10 on the markets today but we are moving higher. It is this santa claus rally we talk about all the time. Its A Santa Claus rally which officially get as kickoff day after christmas, christmas and new years. Santa claus rally was for told with momentum inside this marketplace and we do believe there will be a lot of extra cash sloshing out around there, and other places coming in january. We should see good additions to equity mutual funds in january. Well have a fullon january effect. My anticipation like most januaries last 20 years. 13 out. Last 20 years we had january up. I suspect this january for 2014 will go along the same way. Ashley i think youre right, keith bliss. Now that the fed has taken its move, a lot of uncertainty come out as well which is always a good thing. Absolutely. Uncertainty for Monetary Policy and uncertainty for political process as well as politicians seem to have gotten their act together at least for the time being. Ashley as much as they can. Keith bliss, happy Holiday Season. Thank you so much. Same to you. Tracy do you believe this . You swipe, you pay more. Extra charges to pay with a credit card. Gerry willis on the benefits to American Express and mastercard. Ashley well tell you which hollywood starlet brings in the bang for the studios buck. Well be right back. Tn tracy tomorrows business is about to get more expensive. Pending a judges approval merchants will be allowed to implement surcharges or basically swipe fees on credit card and charge card purchases. We want to hear from you. Tweet us. Will you pay with cash if retailers are allowed to charge more if you use a credit card . It will be at bottom of the screen. Joining us is with gerry willis. Dont they do that at gass3 stations. Yes they do. 2 to 3 differential. Possible merchants across the country, corner coffee shop will decide to charge more if they use a credit card. Devil is in the details. I wouldnt be surprised if a lost retailers would hung back and do it . See how much they cut prices over christmas . Theyre reluctant to charge consumers a lot more. They realize consumers are struggling. Ashley isnt this a bogus fee . It is all computerized. Is it added card . Hard, no, i think youre absolutely right. Ashley completely bogus. This is bogus this is 10year fight actually going on here. And you know, pitted against each other on this thing. The consumers, theyre being toll, hey, if you pay with cash well cut your price. Really . There is lot of suspicion what it really means if it did change pricing. Tracy be interested if it changes shopping habits. True. Tracy someone across the bottom said i would definitely go to cash. When push comes to shove, i dont always have cash on me. Ashley who wants to carry a lot of cash around . That is not comfortable. Team what im talking about with the target story, now youve got telling argument for not using credit cards.
