bob, steven, nicole on floor of new york stock exchange. let's get back to nicole. see what the markets are doing. it has been a wild ride. what are you hearing, nicole? >> traders were expecting this. one thing i said is possibilities of what fed could ultimately do. one of the things i said is $10 billion in tapering and that is exactly what we got. don't forget at last fed meeting everybody was expecting some tapering. that was surprise when we didn't get that. today you're seeing better economic numbers overall. you got that. the other thinggthe vix there was going to be volatility and we did see that the vix was running up. now you see the vix down about 10%. our swing today has been 246 points from top to bottom. right when the fed statement peter barnes delivered for us so succinctly showed the markets moved to the downside at first and break down and make new lows. then dramatically moved to the top of the day's action and break through session highs and make new highs. here we are now at 16,000. it really just shows confidence ultimately in a recovery that

hi, nicole. >> that's right, lori. everybody is talking about fed taper talk and when will that actually occur. meantime we've been watching bond yields sneaking higher. right now the 10-year bond is 2.83%, right? as it gets closer to that 2.85 mark, traders watch that very carefully. meantime the stock market equities are selling off. right now the dow jones industrials are down 102 points, triple digits. not too far off session lows. only 30 names -- three names with up arrows. we may see the forth losing streak since september 20 fifth for the dow and s&p. >> thank you for that. adam: opec is standing pat. the oil cartel produces 40% of the world's crude oil, choosing to keep production levels at 30 million barrels per day, a level that has remain unchanged for two years but today's vote at its meeting in vienna conceals deep divisions over opec's future challenges according to our next guest. matt smith is the author of daily distillation. kudos, to you, matt, you were on the program a few months ago. you said we h

stuart: thanks, nicole. you know, we caught john layfield before he left the studio and went back to the beach. he's still with us. last night jon stewart hauled me over the coals what i was saying about minimum wage and compared me to ebenezer scrooge. what do you say about the minimum wage on this jobs friday. >> the problem, stuart, i told you for years, us americans are jealous of you with your baritone voice and english accent, you could read the phone book and sound great. and i could read the magna carta. minimum wage could be tied to a basket of wages and inflation and taken out of the political realm. watch who is $15 and watch who is $10. it's an arbitrary number. unions are using it as a recruiting tool and we need to take it out of the political process and tie into something more sufficient than an arbitrary number that they raise every few years. stuart: well-said, john. now go back to the beach after the few kind words about me. john layfield, good stuff. check the big board, we're up 125. 15,

nicole: good morning, connell and dagen. good morning, everybody. today is fed day. everybody's waiting to find out what they will or won't tell us this afternoon. a whole panel put together to wait those facts. the dow and s&p are posting gains. the loss of more than one-tenth%. the dow looking good with a gain of one quarter of 1%, s&p 50017.82. exxon and chevron among the leaders. oil stocks doing well. they have been pulling back on the big picture. a lot of people waiting on the fed. connell: the state of the economy, a new gallup poll showing a gap between the national satisfaction. dagen: personal satisfaction for us get a 79% are satisfied in their personal lives, just 23% are happy with the state of our nation. former white house press secretary under president george w. bush. this difference isn't surprising, but 80% is usually the level if you are below that level, even that is disturbing. it seems historically that suggests the economy is lagging. >> we have always had this discr

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 don't 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: that's 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 hasn't 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 that's not too expensive. or is that? >> given the levels of inffation, the low levels of

nicole, give me the two stocks right now. nicole: both are to the down side. microsoft and sony came out earlier. and we were getting the two microsoft xboxes. and what we know 2.1 million sonies sold for microsoft, well, killed 3 billion zombies in the games dead rising three and not telling how much they sold. they're being secretive, but i'm glad to know how many zombies were killed. stuart: when we have the numbers you'll get them on the xbox one. both the stocks down little in an overall down market. we have the dow industrials off 4 40-odd points. and michael robinson, you want to make real money in the stock market today you've got to be in the high flying technology stocks. what say you? >> absolutely. the last time i was talking to you, stuart, i was bullish on technology and i'm more bullish than i was two weeks ago. you've got to be in technology, the road in america is paved with high-tech. i definitely would be in technology in 2014. stuart: that's what i've seen and looking at holiday shopping, it seems to me that people are buying technology. th

ashley: all right, nicole. thank you very much. president obama shook hands with the cuban president raul castro last week that nelson mandela's funeral. that simple gesture has observers speculating whether or not the u.s. is ready to ease its trade embargo. i take that question now to ian vasquez, the cato institute director of the center for global liberty and prosperity. let's begin there. thank you for joining yes. should we see anything more than just it being a handshake? does this signal a change in u.s. policy toward cuba? >> i don't think there is any indication of that. i don't think the handshake was a big deal. we have had an embargo against cuba for more than 60 years that this very president has supported. cuban communism has been in place for even longer and lives of ordinary cubans and not going to change or improve until the castro regime actually introduces major reform. that is not happening, and it is not about to happen. i do not think that the handshake in south africa is going to change that reality. cheryl:

lori: thank you, nicole. adam: as the demand for short-term loans continues to rise former fdic chairman sheila bair wants banks to jump back into the payday lending game. she argue it is could be a win-win situation for consumers and big banks. sheila bair joins us in a fox business exclusive. good to have you back on our network, chairman. thanks for joining us. payday loans a lot of people have a negative connotation but there is need for people who might have poor credit to have access to loans. so what is it you're propose ing? >> well, they do. i mean that is the sad part of this recovery. it has been so uneven and more and more americans have trruble making ends meet on a monthly basis and they need to borrow and i hate there but there are ways to responsibly meet this credit need. but the current payday lending model is basically, borrow until your next payday for working americans, that can be two weeks. so you pay $15 for $100. pay it back in one lump sum in two weeks. borrow $300 that is another $4

so, nicole, where is yahoo! now? >> the stock had it a new high on the call from the analysts, 1 1/2%. and right now. the high was 39.63 and the new price target 44 up from 38 and you know why they did this? they say that it's a stake that yahoo! has in alibaba and we don't know when it will go public, valued now at roughly 36 billion up from 26 1/2, and that's why they raised the target. >> and that's understandable. how about twitter? i think that there's a new high there. tell me. >> a new high. remember the ipo day was a busy one across 50 bucks. well, today it just moved 51.82. that's a big deal. stuart: yes, it's a big deal. charles missed it, but $51. charles? >> i'm in yahoo! though. i'm in yahoo! and alibaba yesterday made a huge deal with haier, an appliance maker, and distribution centers. stuart: alibaba is the chinese version of amazon. charles: amazon all of them. it's almost everything combined and then they made the deal with haier, and it's a huge gigantic deal. stuart: and the bit that the judge wan

ashley: all right, nicole, thank you very much. a former fed insider says there is now a better than 50, 50, chance the fed will begin its feared tapering a the next week's meeting. peter barnes joining us with details from inside the beltway. peter. >> ash, that's right. former vice chairman don cohn who is close to ben bernanke and janet yellen says it is still a close call but he says there is now a 60% chance that the fed will start to taper its $85 billion a month in quantitative easing bond purchases when it meets next week. in a conference call he told clients of potomac research that two things may have sealed it. yesterday's report on a pretty good, solid retail sales in november, and, the bipartisan budget deal announced this eek, which takes a headwind off the table because it would, in theory, make sure that have not going to be any government shutdowns going forward for a couple of years. but cohn says there is an argument to wait for more data before tapering and if it does the fed should present its plan for doing so

lori: thank you so much, nicole. we'll see you soon. overall, markets are trading lower here, investors starting to lock in yearly gains. is the santa claus rally coming to an end? i don't know, because we are seeing some late session buying here. let's get to the bottom of it with our floor show, traders at the new york stock exchange, the cme group and the nymex. so jonathan corpina at the new york stock exchange, to you first. what are you seeing, there's some momentum building, correct? >> we had some economic data that rattled our market a little bit, normally not earth-shaking news, but it seems like in this market has been fragile lately, and investors have been looking for opportunities to take profits off the table. that's what we saw this morning. i think overall when you're going to look at the month and the end of this quarter as a whole, this market will continue to see the growth that we have seen over time. we talk about the santa claus rally, we're getting fewer and fewer days left to trade, we're going to start seeing s
