backlog of orders helping them with new highs today. david: everybody sounds happy today. we have kind of a mixed decision as the market settles, again we may get, probably not, but make it into the positive territory. inching in a positive direction. the s&p is up flatlined today. the stocks weighing in on that. the russell 2000 managed to pull out a gain, but ever so slightly. a day that could have been a lot worse, was a lot worse at different parts of the day. "after the bell" starts right now. ♪ david: we do have breaking news,
4:01 pm
the sec charging s ac capitals for failing to supervise to see employees and preventing them from insider trading under his watch. with us now, former federal prosecutor to talk more about this. i had to admit i am puzzled. failing to prevent, it is hard enough to get insider trading case, but failing to prevent somebody else, it is kind of like charging the secret service for failing to prevent the assassination of kennedy. >> yes, good point. putting it in simple language. it is like conscience i want you to take this suitcase across the pond to england and i will give you $40,000 a couple first-class ticket. deliberately closing your eyes to b the high probability something is wrong. now this liability.
4:02 pm
you are a supervisor, particular employee who did something wrong. there was evidence of substantial irregularity that you are aware of and you did not supervise or prevent. it is a little different than your secret service formulation but by the same token and the lawyer will tell you if you can charge somebody with direct wrongdoing you would do so. this is sort of a substitute theory. cheryl: the back story, some have called this a witch hunt. one of the most successful wall street traders ever, this is the last to make the charges filed, charlie gasparino saying he things there could be potentially charges coming criminal. >> the other criminal prosecution, the sec has to go to the state's attorney's office.
4:03 pm
the civil enforcement action where the file lawsuit, and then you have an administrative proceeding which is what this is. whoever wins or loses for the sec itself, they can affirm it, reverse it or more. it is a little bit like a witch hunt, administrative, using the secret service water down, and i think the prognosticators who say look, this event the strongest i have ever seen. cheryl: this is exactly it. david: any charge has sort of this academic textbook sound to it. let's take a look at martha stuart, she was not charged with insider trading. a lot of people thought she would be.
4:04 pm
it is extraordinarily hard to get that level of proof. we know they wanted to charge a lot of people with insider trading, were not able to. so how much more difficult is it to get this case past? >> this case is very hard because you have a critical cooperator in the center of everything. no criminal case, but what about the civil charge. >> will ultimately prevail on that. cheryl: this is hard to prove. coming out in front of the building, let's all be clear, she lied to us. she did not do securities fraud.
4:05 pm
here basically your argument is bad things were going on, you knew about it and you did not supervise it. >> we want to be able to look like they got this notch on their belt, but they can't. i don't have a crystal ball, but i like to think the contradictions are fairly accurate. cheryl: what is the consumer buying and rocketing growth continue. the ceo will be here. david: the motor city stalls after detroit filing for the largest municipal bankruptcy in history by far. what does it say about the nation's debt crisis and could
4:06 pm

david: and new bidder has emerged the company that owns saks fifth avenue. setting the stock higher. let's go back to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole: david, what news. take a look at where the shares closed. a gain of eight and a quarter percent. unbelievable news as the new york titan is now getting into the game. as this news broke late in the day, looking at the entry chart, the stock jumped into negative territor territory.
4:10 pm
not certain what he is offering but may have offered between 17-$18 per share. hudson bay owns morgentaler, and another from the middle east may also be in the running for saks fifth avenue. for those who do not live here, right next to send patrick's cathedral, it is prime real estate. clearly pushing the stock into the positive. david: have a good weekend, thank you very much. cheryl: we are getting breaking news from our partners at the "wall street journal." the "wall street journal" reporting according to their sources the faa will ask anybody flying a 787 to immediately disable the emergency transmitters. this is the honeywell made transmitter in the back of the plane responsible for the

4:12 pm
they started shooting up before the market open and ended the day down. great relief to the federal reserve. what is happening, why can't they get a direction? >> what you had was initial shock and probably overdue from one way low this year. what you are seeing right now is a short covering and repositioning in bonds on the realization there is no timetable for the fed and it'll be quite difficult for the fed to reverse course and we will have to wait for further data to see what happens. cheryl: jonathan, one thing we have seen is the dollar strengthening. they sent back on what we have seen from the fed, if we begin tapering in september as some analysts believe we will see, what does that mean?
4:13 pm
>> what we look for in the market is currently the market seems to be approaching fair value, giving investors pause to say where can we allocate going forward? overseas markets have not done quite as well, so we're looking at the market advising our clients to look overseas at some of the market that has not performed quite as well. david: one of those is japan. a lot of people don't realize there is an election over the weekend. it is a regional campaign that could affect what he does, right? >> right. getting control, that means the third arrow they talked about, reform, the regulation, that will invigorate the bulls in japan. cheryl: what is your strategy?
4:14 pm
at the same time, we are past the first half of the year. a strong first half of the year. there might be some headwind, anything you are concerned about for the next six months? >> we are looking for opportunities, pockets of opportunities. looking at financials that look attractive, materials and industrials. david: i just heard the beginning of the closing bells on the cme. we are about 45 seconds away. how does this seem to be shaping up for monday? >> we wrapped up 4 weeks of straight games except the nasdaq broke its streak, but the fact of the matter remains a lot in the system, they are not talking about tightening. the market is still driven by liquidity, i think we are
4:15 pm
looking the same as it has been. near the highs and holding. cheryl: one of the concerns of the equity side continues to be the fact that even though you can argue the fed chief has been successful, he has not been successful with deployment. --dash employment. that does not seem to be quite to 3% gdp as the forecast. >> as we open this conversation you have to look at valuation. one of the things w i think is built into the market is the market moving towards fair value. let's look around the world and allocate resources given the fact there is pretty high growth baked in currently. david: jonathan, first to you, the dollar is getting stronger. some people view that as good or bad depending on where they sit on expert issues but how will that affect stocks specifically because t appears to be a long-term trend. >> we're looking at the market.
4:16 pm
approximately 40% of the s&p 500. it will have a negative impact on a lot of earnings. looking at the trend from a macro perspective and make the allocation decisions. cheryl: big productions next week besides volatility which may not be a bad thing. >> next week looks like it will be quiet, the last week of the month. cheryl: thank you. we will see how the s&p futures close. david: motown running out of gas. the biggest noticeable bankruptcy in u.s. history by far spurring a domino effect all over the country? we will be asking somebody who has strong opinions.

4:23 pm
now that has been adopted as become conversant can part of the business. david: one hit and i am there. a lot of people are still getting to know you. google is an important part of that process. google occasionally changes their search rankings claiming because it is because of these algorithms and nothing is intentional. do you buy that? >> i think it is intentional. they're always trying trying to fine-tune their algorithms to make search results, easier for people to find what they want. they are driven by consumer behavior or population behavior. they have been shifting their algorithm, boosting local listings and discounting the online people.
4:24 pm
david: there was a time for example when you went down in the google rankings and is affected your sales, did it not? >> it did. sales affected 528%. when google tinkers with their algorithm as far as a business industries concerned, it is like somebody tinkering with gravity. it has a dramatic effect on business. it seems to be coming back. cheryl: somebody who likes to go to your site, the perfect person to ask, the consumer right now. consumer discretionary. what are they looking for, and are the spending patterns picking up? >> deep down it is all being pumped i the fed. by what they are actually saying, we grew 22% less quarters of people are clearly
4:25 pm
coming back, lot of our stuff is furniture and home goods. david: i am with you on the fed, don't believe in the phony printing of money as a solution to all problems but on the other hand i believe strongly of the power of the u.s. economy an itd been down for so long and eventually it does come back. put aside the phony money printing stimulus. putting that aside, isn't the economy ready for a comeback? >> it is definitely ready for a comeback. we have to make deep structural reforms to make it happen. we have to fix education wall street before our country can thrive on it. cheryl: if you look toward the future, so many things changing and how we interact with the internet, the tablets, smart phones, where do you see the growth will be? will it be somewhere else, where
4:26 pm
do you see this all going on the technology side of business? >> we see something quite interesting. mobile traffic when they spend is less than the average that people spend on our site, tablet traffic, they spend a lot more than average. phones have gone essentially for free but the tablet is expensive. that means the public is more affluent and if you have a good tablet experience for them, you can track and affluent shopper. it will follow the phones, metat will diminish a bit. david: we have to ask, patrick, do you buy your shirts on overstock? >> some of them. but this was made for me by a girlfriend of mine.

4:32 pm
burn, not a lot coming out of that one. can you tell in parts of the city there is a sidewalk there? row after row of homes being swallowed up essentially by nature. this is what a lot of detroit looks like. the emergency manager kevin orr told me today one of the things he is shocked about is how long this has gone on and for how many years this has been tolerated. >> what shocked me was the tolerance for this behavior for decades. to say the least it is at best unorthodox and terms of how these things are going. i am surprise, know a lot of people are outraged. i wish there had been more outrage over the past 10, 20 years. >> i tried to get him to say who he most blames for this and he said i don't want to get into the blame for this plenty to go

4:40 pm
david: even politicians recognize something has to be done have trouble tackling it. the mayor is trying, but he can't, too much of a captive interest. >> until something actually happens. it is all conceptual. other cities will say do we want to become a detroit? we have to avoid that, here are some steps to take. david: on the way to do it is to take it out of the hands of the politicians. knocking heads together whether you like it or not, almost imperial power to get something done. speaker this is a free enterprise zone with low tax rates, real estate rates, residential rates, so you track people who want to start new

4:43 pm
you better make a deal before hand. david: finally, the federal government, jay carney was asked at one of his pressers if the federal government would get involved bailing out detroit or other cities like it, let's play the sound. >> we will of course as we would with any city in this country work with that city and have policy discussions with leaders in the city and make suggestions and offer assistance where we can. david: offer assistance, what does he mean by that? >> that is a polite way like lit with visiting new york city when they went broke, dropdead, remember that headline, that is what in effect they are saying. congress will not do it. even in the white house the recognize this as a bottomless pit.
