Angelo Kourkafas, investment strategist for Edward Jones, says that while he expects heightened volatility for the year ahead, he's not expecting something worse like a recession or a market crash. No matter the conditions, however, he says that investors should be watching to see if the Federal Reserve can avoid a policy mistake, noting that 'Investors should not fear the first hike, but should fear the last one,' noting that the economy should absorb the first moves easily but any potential problems will come later. Also on the show, Matthew Rados of Gametime.co talks Super Bowl ticket prices, why they are setting records this year and the best time to buy them if you are hoping for a 'bargain,' David Trainer of New Constructs puts a popular name in the hot pet-care industry into 'The Danger Zone,' saying the business is the second coming of Pets.com, a high-flyer of the Internet Bubble days that wound up worthless, and Charlie Bobrinskoy, vice chairman at Ariel Investments, talks 'Warren Buffett value-style investing' in the Market Call.
