bill coming will affect and spending cuts. earnings cycle is going to pick back up and hopefully at that point you will see the fed finally stopped purchasing bonds and even indicate when they will raise -- cheryl: let me ask about bonds. remember what happened in the ten year, adjusting the yield when last time the fed met we got the decision in the press conference by ben bernanke, what about the bond market? a lot of people have gotten burned and are frustrated with bonds. >> for the last five years we have not been buying long-term bonds. we have pretty plain bond strategy, we ladder out 10 years and keep it short. ever since its april 30th we have seen a noticeable rise in rates and we are waiting for rates to get to level where we can buy for the class and get a pretty good yields. haven't seen that yet but it is encouraging to see the rates go up a little bit.

we believe devices and networks are getting faster and faster. the ability to put content up faster will be really important and we just ran our a o l live opening, huntington closed live last year, at 9,000 guests from 85 countries, thirty-second% of huffington those traffic outside the united states. this is not only an opportunity in this country in the u.s. but a megatrend where content is going to become the centerpiece of the internet and mobile redistribution. cheryl: you initiated a share buyback as well some of accompany and you yourself were confident in the future of a o l. what do you think shareholders need to know about the next 12 months? stock is up 27% so you are outperforming the nasdaq year to date. for the next six months where will you find that one key piece of shareholder benefit if you will?
12:11 pm
>> the buyback we just announced is a continuation of what we have done in the past and what we will do in the future and a o l is specific about this. we have been investing heavily in areas where the internet is going and investors see the payoff. the second piece is we have been very shareholder friendly in making sure when we invest in the business we are also investing in what is the huge value for shareholders and a o l's buyback strategy overtime has been a very big asset for shareholders and the buyback we just announced, continued buyback will have enhanced benefits of investors over the next 12 months of look to get operationally better against the strategy and continue to play bold in the content space and add technology space and also just to continue to be very shareholder friendly. cheryl: that is a 27% year to date. thanks to aol ceo kim armstrong for joining us from sun valley.

concerned about mortgage rates on the rise, maybe they will drop a little bit and that could help. is intertwined in some way, shape or form and these are leading the way. lenore is the number 2 best performer of the s&p 500. cheryl: god forbid we pay 4% 430 year alone. nicole: our parents paid 18% or something. cheryl: something like 16%. thank you very much, see you in a little bit. there is no stopping charles payne. this hour he is bringing the texas industry. i asked about the market. nice to see. cheryl: it is nice to see. charles: i want people to focus on these names, get away from the noise, earnings season is early but i like what we have seen so far. the narratives that are developing. helen of troy had different

narrative, w d 40 had a different narrative. how many people watching the show right now probably have -- never thought of it as an investment? a lot of different narratives are working out. i wouldn't get too, up in ben bernanke noise. that is more wall street and their consumption. we got room to the upside. cheryl: is a psychological argument to be made. you need to follow the market. charles: you can be the role of the stock market are a harbinger of things to come. texas industries. i wanted to come up with a stock that wasn't up today. people are saying i don't want to buy a stock because it is up 100% in the last four years. this one is not up. this is something you can consider long-term. it is based in texas. texas, the economy is starting to spread, shipments up 34%, pricing power in texas, a prices
12:19 pm
up 4%, just acquired 42, what they call ready-made cement mixer things. it is not a trading play by any means. i thought i would talk about something people could look at that is not running reckless abandon and may have real good upside potential for someone who wants to buy something and the heat of the dow's all-time highs and hold it for a year or so. cheryl: it relax really good. charles: looks pretty good but inconsistent earnings and things like that. construction has been weak but is turning around. cheryl: ties together, charles payne. charles: sometimes when you don't have the forces. charles: charles payne. cheryl: too bad for charles can't compete in a fox business summertime showdown but you want him, you totally went in. tomorrow we have got another edition of the show down. you have been watching it, eight stock pickers going head to head

12:27 pm
with china in washington today. the issue of cyberproof remains a point of contention between the two powers. >> cyberenabling fifth of u.s. companies are experiencing now, must be viewed as out of bounds and needs to stop. too much is at stake for us to let our differences get in a way of progress. for the united states this means an economic relationship where firms and workers operate on a level playing field where the rights of those who participate in the global economy including innovators and holders of intellectual property are preserved and protected from government sponsored cyberintrusion. cheryl: those remarks just the latest in what has been not blank the back and forth with top chinese officials over beijing's massive cyberespionage campaign. attorney brian finch, estimates are showing $300 billion a year
12:28 pm
being lost because of intellectual property theft. is america turning its eyes away from this. nothing should be coming of these talks in washington. >> america is not turning its eyes away from it. we are focusing on one of the top level issues we are raising with china. the problem is right now china continues to recognize the problem. often when confronted the chinese leadership weather in the military or civilian government denied all these accusations and say we are the victims of hacking, not the american government so don't point fingers at us. cheryl: this comes after a month when president obama and the chinese president met at the resort in california all off the record and friendly. we had these problems with china before whether it was human rights violations or currency manipulation. nothing ever changes because they are of crucial trading partner to the united states and even though businesses are the financial threat of cybersecurity and seems to me
12:29 pm
joe biden had a half-hearted approach to this meeting. >> it is difficult, a difficult balance because there's a theory of mutually assured destruction going on with respect to china and the united states government. china is doing a lot of cyberthreats and it is a problem for the united states but at the same time we are so dependent on the economy and vice versa the chinese with their exports to the united states it is like we are sweeping the problem little bit under the rug but i do believe the obama administration and many in congress are concerned about this and are looking to take more positive and possibly punitive actions against the chinese government. cheryl: the ceo of lloyd's of london did is global survey and frankly the number 2 issue that executives are worried about is cybersecurity and number 3 excuse me. executives are not worried enough about cybersecurity. do you agree? >> that is right. we are seeing more people concerned about a.
12:30 pm
a number of clients are concerned about it and other surveys that show general counsel, number one risk priority at this point but you are right. a lot of chief executive particularly medium and smaller sized businesses don't understand the problem, can't even fathom that the chinese or iranians or whoever you want to name would come after them for their intellectual property so there has to be a better education campaign and better understanding what they are actually losing when they don't take proper cybersecurity measures. cheryl: complicated relationship made it so much worse this year but money is at stake. thank you for a take on these talks. at least some of the big names in media are talking out in sun valley, idaho. dennis kneale is live from the event with choice words with barry diller on controversial service. dennis: hello, cheryl. a 2 on the mobile watch at the
12:31 pm
conference where guys who make millions of dollars in the media are told to shun the media. today we got some nice snags, disney ceo robert eisner came by, and meg whitman won't comment on whether they spin off printers. bill gates walking past the sand microsoft trying to turn the company into something other than slow-growing utility but then came barry diller and his wife and i have known him since 1987 actually gained to talk to us. his service got sued again by the broadcast networks in boston court and some broadcast network executive told me privately that ultimately they are going to lose. i asked about that idea, ultimately losing. give a listen. >> why would we ultimately lose when we already won twice? why would anyone think we would ultimately lose?
12:32 pm
that is not our intent, all of this has been overblown because it is nice drama. that is not the case at all. if you are interested in -- what anybody the makes and distributes programming is interested in, should be interested in all we are is a benefit. dennis: basically steals broadcast network signals out of the sky and sells them to cellphone users without paying the network any cut. that is something cable-tv systems are not allowed to do legally. may be violating copyright but what the scheme does, put in hundreds of little antennas. long. hopefully that is thrown out of work. you have to wonder if it can expand its service because they are not free over the year. there is a limited upside profit so i asked at -- and
12:33 pm
he was trying to shake up the network i will be back with more and more absurd suggestions. cheryl: thank you very much. we will be right back.

12:38 pm
certainly they have a large task in front of us but arguably they had to do something in this is what they are doing. there has been sitting in the water to extend that metaphor a and they need to get forward momentum so it is designed to do that and whether it will be successful or not we would not know for a long time but having said that i am not a fan of reorganization to begin with it does have a deck chair act. >> why not? he sees problems with the windows operating system aside they cannot break through a and it seems they cannot move fast enough. apple could not even move fast enough lately so they have to do something? >> right. look at the details.
12:39 pm
they are putting all the hardware under one roof in you could say they should have done this a long time ago but we know that it is a different beast from windows but they are coming to share more dna with each other and we assume they will be the same thing with the concept is to give the consumer the same experience whether the phone or the tv. is a good start. we will have to see how that goes but it makes sense to do that. you could say that. cheryl: but kevin turner will still we the c00. they move things around with the engineers will still be in charge ballot there is that mass exodus of talent. what about blackberry? >> one of the things that is interesting is there are of
12:40 pm
the functional lines that concept is the jury hear it human-resources there and that does make sense people are used to doing business with people in a certain way now it will be different and he did point out those relationships but also the informal relationships that are very important you have to undertake as well. it will be complicated i am not sure will be any better but microsoft will do what achaean to rearrange itself to compete better. cheryl: that is the next question. thank you. >> my pleasure. cheryl: in the era of unprecedented government surveillance what is funded by your tax dollars?
