>> would you put newmoney to work in the market ow? >> i think the market is attracvely valued. there'a lot of potential for significant upsideimprovement in global economies and therore while face value the maet looks valued, i think we can be undertimatinghere the economy goes. >> that's a positive. at se point she i goi to have toial it back. listen to what dr. yellen said about the possible risks of qe. >> i would agree tha ts program cannot continue forever. there are costs and risks associated wh the program. what does that tell you? >> any change? what do u think that means for slowing down the bond purchases? >> it's a little bit more negative than what ben beanke id and what the house sd.

she believes we have a lg way to go. there's a lotf iome an inequaty and as long as it's not robust she wants to continue that stimulus. >> is there anhing you think e needs to do better as bernanke. we get different messages from various goveors. a lot of time peopl from the fed are talking and they debate. >> that's one of the great thgs about the fe it's designed toave debate. it was one of yellen's innovations to have more transparency. it was her ia. i thinshe can continu that. the best thing she can do is be writer. right now the fed is not a great focaster of the economy. yeen needs to be stronger on predicting where things wl go. >> another debate is the retail investor has been in this market. 's not been in this mark. whatre you seeing? you think the retai investor is back in the marketr on the

sideline? >> i think they are tiptoeing back io the market. no going gg busters but you'll continue to see the trend. while they worry about interest rates going higher and what it means for the value of the bos becae they tend to o t ads interestarren securities, i think they're not making money onsavings. they're startinto feel better about the ecomy. they're starting to feel bter about the stock market that looks stle. if our governmt would behave better, that the governments starng to compromise i tnk people feel beer and more at an acceleratedace. >> he is a week as we look back at the week. we had recordrices paid at auction.

that are facing a true recovery or what wou be on the rising tide thalifts those. >> earnings, they're mixed. yo can't say they were better than eected overall. they were xed. in the fac of that you have añi melt up. dwroup think it's sustainable? >> we start see iing economic activity pick up. my senseis the economy starts toick up you could see earnings and pfitability improve next year. >> any thought sns. >> things that iatch is wha other experts are saying out the markets. one of the thingshat struck me is larry sin from black rock

allowed to tell them about other options. you two dug deep. were you surprised b this confession this week? >> theast is prologue. erything we writebout in the book related to w the president woelection. the night health care passed he said business isoing to kick my butt over th. while the presiden won re-election, he left himself with not a lot of allies, not a lot of support for health care. the team around eresident is pretty much the team he came to the white house with high pressure he does n have that broaout reach andhat open diogue with a lot of people that miet have hped him see this coming a a team a little

more prepared to put this plan in place >> do u think that hurt him then? >> i think so. one of the thing at's true is he's had a lotf oppotion. publican vs made it hard for him. he's had that complaint throughout his whole first time. inhis casee's really con fronting for the first time a failure that he can't blame on anne but himself. i think that's part the pain and frustration when he spoke at that press conference this week. he's having to look inward in way he dn't have to do before be. >> he decided he didn't wan to be anotherresident without bringing the united ates into the industal community. she was just going to go for it.

he's left hielf in a weak position inwashington and around the countr >> of the cast of characters om the 2012campaign, who do you think has longevity going to 2016? >> people like rick perry. all those people ll be looking at the ra. the n is chris christie. we write a lot abou him in "double down." he's a big figure in the book an american politics. for readers interested in getting a fully well rounded picture, some those are the things that the romney team identified. you' see a pretty rounded and novrl picture of chris christie and one that american voters

will come into view formerican voters in wap it hasn't befor as he gears up to make a run in 2016. >> can he beat llary? >> if you survey the rest of the field the reason chris christie is getti so much attention now is a lot of ople in t party look at him is someo who can go toe to toe th her. it happened last time whena bunch of verwealthy people arou the countryried to ue him to get in the race becaus ey see him as that ig, broad powerful figure who can go up against a bark obama and they hope against ifhe isthe nominee, hillary clinton. >> money played a b role 2012. you write abouit. tell me how these men like david

koch impacted the race. >> it's a he thing. it's onef the pies of fall oufrom the citizens united decision. in terms of the 2012 race candidates like newt gingrich and santorum would have had to close their candidacies down early if they didn't have foster freese and rick santorum ks they maged to elongate it. i think no question into 2016 there's billionaires and miionaires we talked about they feel burned. ey feel as thoug their mone wasn't spent who confusedhe republican establishment with the reas grass roots to take whoever the democratic nominee is in 2016. >> the book is great. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate .
