Thanks for meeting so early. Oh, its not a big deal at all. Come on in. [ male announcer ] its how edward jones makes sense of investing. Good kick own a hop and harvin takes off and gets free. Percy harvin, inside the 30,s going to go, touchdown seattle. Stuart and he went all the way. And percy harvin returning the second half kickoff for a touchdown and thats the moment the game for many people ended. Is that when you stopped watching. The seahawks went on to win 438. It was at best, very best a lackluster game. The best thing out of the game were the comericas, some, just some hit the spot. The budweiser puppy love commercial arguably the most popular, got 34 million views on youtube before it aired last night. This one came in from microsoft, all about how technology is changing the way we live our lives. That fits right into the theme of Varney Company, tech is king. We like that one. And right now, were waiting to see the ratings for the big game, especially the number of viewers in the second half. Wed like to know when did you turn off the game . Probably a lot of you did it. And other is a telling number. 24. 9 million. Thats how many tweets were sent during the game. Way up from last year. And lets get to your money. Thats important this monday morning. The dow logged its worst month in five years, that was january. We start february trading today. Futures looking dead flat, actually. Dead flat. No bounceback. Its the first trading day of february. First, lets run this one for you. One of my favorite parts of the super bowl last night. This was good. It came before the kickoff, listen to this.

Net get on my knees and pray we dont get fooled again yeah, we wont get fooled again, you hear that . Youre looking at south jersey, by the way, south of new york city. And were expecting more snow, were getting more snow. Less than 12 hours after pretty perfect weather for the super bowl. By the way, there are three snowstorms hitting the northeast this week and maybe thats a factor in the economy. Well see, but three this week. Come on in tres knippa from chicago. Obvious question, when did you turn your set off last night during the big game . Stuart, i must admit i made a bit of a mistake. Im a texas boy so what do you think i was doing during the super bowl . I was in the next room playing Texas Hold Em with buddies and eating barbecue. In my mind i said well, now what ill play cards for a while and jump over and catch the second half of the game. Oops. [laughter] oops. Stuart real fast, january, awful month, february, how is it going to go for stock investors . I still think were under the problem is the Market Action in my opinion, we keep trying to recover, but watch the nasdaq and watch the small caps sector. To get up or down youre going to get leadership from one of those places so youve got to look for days that the nasdaq is gaining on the s p. Today it isnt so ive got to be on the defensive a little bit. Stuart we hear you, look by the way, take a look at the big board, were down 8 points in the early going. Rotten month of january and starting off february with a small loss on the opening bell this morning. The phone wars, got to tell you about that heating up. Two things here, at t cutting the price of its family share plans. Tmobile often to buy you out of your contract if you want to sign up with them. Both stocks down on that news. Thats interesting. Big names you know, coming off new highs on friday. Nicole, lets go to you and start with netflix, where is it today . Lets check out netflix, 410. 90 the annual high is 412. 40. So up a quarter of 1 right now and of course, we continue to watch netflix, dont forget upgraded last week at morgan stanley. Theyve had all kinds of awards theyve been winning for original programming and beefing up everybody they provide to lovely subscribers. Stuart and im one of them. Okay, lets go to google. A big new high last week, where now . Well, and today, not a new high, down a quarter of a percent. 1177 for google, but hitting all time highs. U. S. Regulators have been looking at lenovo looking to take over ibms server business and motorola and thing its probably going to go through. Stuart thats interesting, lenovo is a Chinese Company and essentially want to take control of the hardware side of the computing business and doing a pretty good job of that right now. Thanks, nicole. The big board by the way, squinting here, down 7 points in early going monday morning. Keith fitzgerald is with us, all right, keith, youre out there on the west coast, i know you are. Youre three hours behind us. Theres no excuse youre in the pacific northwest, theres no excuse for you turning off your set before the end of the game last night, is there . Well, i dont know. You want to talk about the definition after route. I think this game is going to be next to it in the dictionary. Seven plays, 114 yards none in the first quarter. Thats the end of it for me. Stuart our producer is shocked. Theres stats coming out from the getgo. Keith, were impressed. Are you trying to bamboozle me because i know nothing about the game . Is that what youre trying to do . I know surprisingly little about the game, but numbers i deal with with the stock market and ive got to look at them that way. Stuart stay right there. Ive got to ask sandra smith here, you let cora bell your baby daughter. Eight months old. Stuart did she go through the end . She made it through, the star bangled banner was spectacular. She went to sleep. And they saud Peyton Manning before he started to sing and put the camera on him, he was sweating there. If i was picking horses before the race. He did not look good before that game started. Stuart do you think there was something wrong with him physically . He was sweating, he looked distressed and i would not have picked him to have a good game before it ever started. Stuart well, i can understand him being distressed after the first snap over his head, i recall. There was heated comments exchanged before the game ever began. I think that he was, you know, he did not look good going into the game. Stuart you didnt expect me to know about the first snap went over his head. I was impressed. Stuart lets get real, shall we . The dow is down 14 points this monday morning, keith, lets get back to you. Weve got big jobs numbers coming out the end of this week, were just coming off the worst month in five years. Our viewers are kind of worried. Theyre worried about they dont want to look at the 401 k s, theyve got anxiety here. Are you going to hold their hands and put their minds at rest or say, youre right to be worried . [laughter] well, youre never wrong to be worried because that means your concern and your needs are involved. Now im going to hold their hands. Earnings are not that bad. If we take a look at the notes, 79 of companies that reported earnings for Fourth Quarter have topped estimates so corporate momentum is still good. 59 of the companies in the european stocks, are posting, above profit increases. Were looking at 8 to 10 . I think if anything its a buying opportunity and comes down to yellen. Somebodys taken the punch bowl away. That proves the market is working properly. You have to have buying and selling to get price discovery. Stuart you havent mentioned the fact that china is slowing or germany may again bail out greece or that the turkeys currency is under pressure and emergency rule in thailand. You name it, one problem after another overseas. You havent mentioned that, does that not factor in your equation . They factor in, but weve had the best of times, the worst of times. These are speed bumps, granted that are terrible and feel bad and pro downs lots of angst. This is the time we want to sharpen your pencil and look for the companies and Good Companies and good products and earnings arent going out of style, theyre buying low sell high. Stuart thats hand holding. Thank you very much, keith. Good stuff. More on the snow really coming down in philadelphia right now. And already the weather is blamed for what are expected to be hohum jobs numbers coming up this friday morning. All right, sandra, obviously, youre going to get a lot of spin on this, but the more substantive question is, lets suppose we get a bad jobs report. Not many new jobs created. Is that good news for the stock market or bad news . Because and the reason youre asking that is because if its bad news and an ugly jobs report maybe the fed will slow the pace at which its tapering, the Bond Buying Program. There you have to play in if youre playing the stock market. That being said. Stuart i want your judgment, i want your judgment. If its a bad jobs number not creating many new jobs, does the dow go up or down . Down because i think the jobs i think the market is over the fed. I think they know that the fed is going to steadily be tapering this Bond Buying Program and even if they waiver just a bit from changing at 10,000, story, 10 billion a month, its not going to be theyre not going to be changing that substantially. That being said. If youre expecting a hohum report you may be surprised. Goldman is already saying 200,000 jobs. Merrill is saying 185,000 jobs and by the way, if it you look back at history. A lot of people said that the jobs numbers in december were so ugly because of the bad weather that historically speaking, the next month after you see such weak jobs growth. Those numbers go back on the payroll and you get a jump in the following month. It it could look good. The weather is the out. The weather, again, right . Facebook launching its news viewer app. Its called paper. It launches today. Look at the stock, its sitting thats another new high at 63. 36. We do a lot of of stories on facebook. Whats wrong with them . Theyre losing teens, we always hear the negatives about facebook. But you know, it really is a personalized global marketplace wrapping in amazon, ebay, all combined. We find it a very Interesting Company and the stock matches that. Were joined now by somebody who knows a great deal more about this than i do. His name is ted murphy. Welcome back to the program. How are you . And i was doing just fine. And i want to know about facebook, theres this split. You get a lot of negative publicity, theyre losing teenagers, theyre spying on you, taking your information, et cetera, et cetera, and yet, its a very important company. What do you make of facebook . Look, i like to think of facebook as the worlds Biggest Block Party and instagram, a frat party with cats. And snap chat, a kegger on the beach, daytona beach. Whats great about facebook is at this giant Global Block Party you have some people that are showing off pictures of their children, but other people are engaging in commercial, right . People are finding jobs. People are buying products. People are saying, look, i have this, would you like to buy it . You have my i have tickets to a game, do you want to buy them . And i think that thats one of the things thats often overlooked about facebook is just how much commerce is actually going through that platform. And with that skew towards the older demographic, those people have purchasing power. Stuart i think, look, as an investor, i would say that should have a social network like facebook or twitter in your portfolio over the very long term. Its like should have had amazon or ebay in your portfolio from way back or oracle or microsoft or apple from ten years ago. Its got to be, it should be a part of your portfolio. Would you sharply disagree with me or no. No, i absolutely agree with you, i believing that facebook is more than the app, facebook is a platforment when you look at their acquisition of instagram, this new product paper, theyre going to diversify and find new audiences, theyve got plenty of cash and plenty of room to grow. Stuart and we thank you for setting the record straight over to nicole, crossing ford, down 7 , we showed you the stock a moment ago, nicole, bring me uptodate. 14. Its down 1. 2 , it was at 14. 78 a moment ago, still a winner over the last 52 weeks. The month of january, sales overall, ford sales fell 8. 4 . They had a bright spot. Lincoln sales rose 42. 5 . Everybody loves lincoln suddenly. And that seems to really be the bright spot. Stuart but you cant overshadow an overall 7 drop im afraid. I tried it to give you a good one. Stuart you tried laugher laugh check the big board, where are we . I think its dead flat. Yes, were dead flat. Down 5 points below 15,700 on the dow this monday morning after the worst month in five years. The super bowl, im calling it a dud. I got that.

Heros welcome from budweiser and crushed the competition on the field almost as much as the seahawks crushed the broncos on the field. Listen to this, mike burns, the creative director the man behind these two ads. Now, this guy is a genius and sitting next to me right now. Mike, theyre terrific. Youre the only person who has called me a genius. Stuart thats not true. This morning, the world is. A lot of people okay, okay. And youre good, okay . That was a work of art. It wasnt a commercial. I didnt know it was anything to do with beer until the last two seconds of it. Its an art work, thats what you did. And i think its a story about unlikely friendship and that has everything to do with beer and getting people together that you normally wouldnt get together with. And the clydesdales, you know, thats budweiser, one of the most iconic representations of the brand. Stuart you knew you cant go wrong with a wonderful dog story. Those dogs were amazing. Stuart the dogs were amazing. In the stables that happens dogs and horses have a certain Kindred Spirit so we just kind of was any of that Computer Generated . Zero. Stuart real animals . The trainers were amazing and we were blown away, everybody on the team, and the guys behind it, really blown away by the trainers of the horses and puppies. Stuart how many puppies did you have to use . There were eight. Stuart eight . Its like twins in movies when you always have how long did it take to get the right shot, the shot that is just right . Ive got to tell you, jake scott the director and rnc the Production Company and everybody in anheuserbusch, everything was tight. The production was really tight. The puppies, hey, come on, crawl under the
