counter a quickly growing threat. >> today i'm nfg a series of steps the united states will take to stay ahead of challenge posed by iran and north korea on longer range missile capabilities. >> the plan is to have everything in place by 2017. >> we're also starting to get reaction from capitol hill and some critics. >> reporter: that is right. we told you so by critic. as for congress, a senator calls it a step in the right direction. a senator from alaska is pleased that putting his home state on the map. he says the obama administration should have known sooner. >> they misdiagnosed what was happening in the region in terms of what heavily sanctioned country determined to acquire these capabilities could do.
4:06 pm
one silver lining at this point is perhaps missile defense has bipartisan support. >> reporter: earlier reaction shows it's bipartisan but there are serious budget issues in washington these days. >> no doubt about that. thank you very much. it's important to keep in mind, north korea spends an enormous amount of the budget on its military while two-thirds of the country has trouble finding food to eat. the report claims that children have been caused stunted growth. just 50 years ago, south korea was as poor as the north but five decades after it embraced democracy the south one of the most prosperous nations on earth. new gun control bills could soon become law in where movie theater massacre happened.

4:08 pm
control of points but it's still in record territory. you can see it here a few points from hitting that all time high. shabani is joining me now. the rally stopped in its tracks, why? >> it did. as we all know, sometimes all good things must come to an end. the ten day winning streak being stopped short by a 25-point loss ended with a whimper and not a bang. 25 points is not much in the grand scheme of losses on the dow. it did cut short a nice long ride that investors were hoping to keep longer, another day, another week. the biggest losers on the dow, there were 19 of the top 30 dow stocks in the red. the biggest looser was j.p. morgan. house homeland names like proctor gamble also saw a pull back today and home depot. the attack on wall talk is it
4:09 pm
buying opportunity or more of a pull back? some of the experts i talked to this may not be the best time to buy in to this pullback. the big reason, usually when we see run-ups like this you wanted to buy to see a bull back and numbers are backed up by corporate profits and bond buying which is the juice of the markets is eventually going to end. don't fight the tape, when markets go hire. >> go long with your investment. as we look at this, they are quite different. s&p 500 as closely hit a record but can't seem to reach it. >> that is very important for market watchers and technicians because the s&p 500 is more important index to traderse it'0 different companies. it gives us a better sense of what is happening with the economy. this index has yet to reach a record high. that is one of the reasons that people of skeptical about this
4:10 pm
rally. when we start to see this specific index reaching to new territory, that is when we think we'll get a little more conviction about where we're going next. >> this mostly touches people fortunate to have retirement funds, but this next point touches everybody. word pretty much on everything we buy is on the rise? >> biggest increase we have seen in consumer prices in three to four years. so many americans are dealing with smaller paychecks because of the payroll tax cut and with what you have left you are shelling out more money to buy the things you need every day. specifically gasoline prices on the rise, consumer places up .07% in the month of february driven by a 9% rise in gasoline prices. this pretty much explains a big reason why everyday americans aren't participating in this market rally when you are not able to have extra money in your pocket because you are spending out groceries and food you
