that's a game that kevin won't play. now, if your don't believe the logic of this, this is some research i did for a column in the business journal and for the book, where i looked at the largest 20 mutual fund families. and then i looked at their average morning star rating. morning star is a great service that ranks these mutual funds on performance with five star being the best, and one star being the worst. so, i regressed their stated expense ratio, which is only part of the expenses, bill the way. there are other hidden fees as well -- against their rating, and each of these dollar signs represents one of the fund families. and just in indication you didn't see a pattern i drew a really heavy line here just in case you didn't see the line. i made the conclusion on the top as costs increase, guess what? performance decreases. the more you pay your expert, the less you're likely to get. why do these funds over here exist? one word. marketing. adults put too many eggs in one basket. i brought out a globe and sat it on

kevin owns a small business, mr. presiden in connecticut, a maintenance company. he employees 17 people in that firm of his, some older, some younger and can't afford insurance. his older employees use the emergency room as their home doctor. if one has a child with an infection, they'll spend all day in the e.r. waiting for them to get basic treatment, costing the employees a day's work and kevin a day's work from the employee. by the way, we can't afford any additional costs. think of this. if you have an insurance policy, on average, your family is paying $1,100 a year on your insurance policy to cover people like kevin's employees, the uninsured. that's how much the average cost is per family. that's a tax on every insurance policy to pick up the cost of kevin's employees, the one who shows up in that emergency room. you don't get free medical care there. they're charging for it. how do they charge for it?

kevin, what kind of a week have new jersey politicians had? guest: i think there's probably a lot of them now that are on phone calls just assuming that they're being bugged or tapped. i think this was a good week for any politician who was a former prosecutor against corruption running for office. so i think chris christie probably had a very good week. i think there is also a way to make a case that chris christie represents a sort of modernized republican approach in new jersey, where you put an emphasis on law and order, you put an emphasis on job creation, the economy, jobs, health care, education. and that's where a lot of voters will -- a lot of voters are going to gravitate toward a message that is pragmatic and about cleaning up a state capital that they think has totally lost touch with the folks of ngng and is not focused on providing -- new jersey and is not focused on providing solutions. ultimately it was a pretty good week for chris christy. host: the polls show that jon corzine is down. guest: i think what he's seeing this year

we wanted back. >> kevin, we were watching this raltly from yesterday. wig turn on the markets yesterday based largely on the footballs. is this a real turn for you or is this just a temporary respite? >> it's healthy for a couple of reasons, but we would like to see maybe a pullback. if the market were to correct today on the economic news as opposed to the earnings news, then see if it holds in against 890 in the futures, i think that's important support to say that the market is trying to dig in more authoritatively. >> how are you going to know if the market is trading on the economic news or the earnings? >> we've got ppi, retail sales, those type of things. if the headlines shake and the market goes down and holds, i think that's the best test. if it doesn't go down there, then there's no way of telling. so i think the really interesting thing that we saw yesterday, becky, was that that was the first significant up day in the equity markets that did not correspond to trouble in the bond market. spot rates for a host of bonds, whether they be five-y

here's kevin depew of "minyanville" and "minyanville's" kevin depew. >> federal reserve chairman ben bernanke was on capitol hill earlier this week, mainly to discuss the economy, but also to stop a misguided legislative proposal from texas representative ron paul to audit the central bank. here's the thing, the fed isn't some secretive, nefarious organization. it's already audited. its balance sheet is published every week. and market watchers pore over the minutes of every fed meeting. so what bernanke rightly opposes is congressional medaling in monetary policy. it is critical for the fed to maintain its independence, far away from politicians. >> in order to understand why the federal reserve is so opposed to transparency, you have to go back and consider what gives the fed its power in the first place. if someone offers to give you a weird piece of paper for your watch, you'd probably laugh. but if hundreds of millions people are somehow convinced to accept that weird paper, well, then it's game on. the authority of the federal reserve basically exists because it exists, and any

here's kevin depew of "minyanville" and "minyanville's" kevin depew. >> c.i.t. group, one of the nations largest commercial lenders, is on the brink of failure after being unable to secure additional government backing. the obvious question is why isn't c.i.t., with more than a million small business customers, too big to fail? well, the lesson in all of this is you can save one bank, or as many as 10, even 20, but inevitably there will come a point when the lifeline just won't reach any farther, and that's what's happened to c.i.t. it's unfortunate, but not every bank can be too big to fail. >> no, no, that's not the lesson at all. let's get something straight. on one side you have a firm like goldman sachs where executives sold $700 billion worth of stock even as they were taking in $10 billion in tarp money; on the other side the small business lender c.i.t., which needed just $4 billion to keep the doors open. one firm, thanks to a little government help, just posted the richest quarterly profit in its 140-year history, the other is now doomed to failure. do

kevin mooney has the figures. break it down for us. i have read your articles. some of the numbers are staggering what goes on. people should understand how much money is being passed back and forth between people who want to benefit from the obama administration. >> absolutely. we found in just a three-year period, labor unioned donated almost $10 million to acorn and their state affiliates and their allied organizations. 7 million of that came from the service employees international union. certainly seiu, as your program has documented is very tied in with the acorn association. the national education association and other unions have also contributed but by any reasonable yardstick, the seiu is the union leading the charge here. eric: kevin, muscle for money, tell me what muscle for money is. >> muscle for money is a program that is funded by the seiu union, a corporate shakedown group that is very aggressive, very personalized involving acorn activists not just going to public venues but to private homes to harass public officers who are not yielding before

kevin, what do you think?? >> i think adson is right but for a different reason.n. oil majors, these guys coming out with earnings saying, look, it's going to be bad for a long time coming. that way, when the earnings come out and they're better quarter after quarter from now on, they'll look great. they are talking their book. obviously, opec is saying, look, there is going to be a recovery, we're already seeing the early signs of it of. and the only thing that's going to drive this recovery is energy. so we probably have seen the bottom in crude, and you're going to see a slow pickup and by the end of the year, closer to 80, 85, but in 2010 if the recovery is picking up pace -- >> triple digits.. >> addison, a lot of people are worried about the u.s. economy. decisive gdp numbers today, and the concern with all this stimulus money being spent, we will continue seeing weakness in the u.s. dollar. if we, in fact, see that, what will that mean for oil? and is this something you're watching carefully? >> of course it's something we're watching carefully of the dollar
