>> i'm not trying to be pessimist but when you are looking at s&p 500 this last quarter, big earnings season, mcdonald's doing well. you only had 60% of those s&p 500 500 companies beat wall street analysts. historical average is 61% so you have companies noting me it. >> neil: thank you very much. again we are awaiting the judge's final decision. in the meantime, michigan five hours to go before the polls close. turnout is said to be low. 30 delegates up for grabs. this is also mitt romney's home state, a state many say he needs to win if he wants to clinch the nomination. romney telling me moments ago he will win michigan and arizona, as well. >> i'm planning on winning arizona soundly. a lot of delegates there. also got a lot of delegates from michigan, i would like to win in michigan. i think i will. i'll probably end up with two or three times as many delegates as anybody else in the race. that is victory. we have to get delegates. >> neil: so you were talking about arizona you take all the delegates, even if you were to split you would take half delegates, it's a big night for you. you know the st

the most important thing to me, of course, when it comes to mcdonald's, shamrock shake's going national, big-time. computer sciences, best in the s&p 500, up about 20%. ralph lauren still up 9.5%. western union, cbre, down 6%. here's the key names to report after the close. all in positive territory. cisco up half a percent. newskoerp is basically flat. whole foods up 2.5%. i looked at the chart, bill, whole foods since the march '09 low is up about 550%. >> later i'm going to show a ten-year chart of whole foods. they are dangerously close to a double top right now. because they're getting back to a high set six years ago. and if they don't exceed that high, and this earnings report could affect that, could be a double top for that stock. we'll get to that a little bit later. stick around, brian, we want to talk about the markets here in the "closing bell." we'll add steve liesman to this conversation. you wanted to talk about consumerer debt. you're sifting through the troika reports on greece. any thoughts or observations there as well? >> well, it just feels like we're back in that nether world. if there is a deal, isn't a de

s. the muslim brotherhood may not want to adopt our constitution. but i think our strongest representatives will have to be mcdonalds, kfc and taco bell. did you seat earnings? amazing. same store sales are up 20%. half of their profits coming from overseas. maybe that's the way we get into the country. first we sell them what we have, and then maybe we adopt our laws. >> leeann, other nations are like newt gingrich. they replace the constitution like their wives on average every 19 years. does that make more sense? >> well, i think they went 19 years because they are talking about every generation and every generation is a little different. i think obviously we are a little different than when our fore fathers framed the constitution. >> in what way? >> please, can i continue? i will let you have our say. the world has changed a lot. the basis of our constitution is a great thing, and i think it has taken us to great places in the world. it should be easier to amend. it is easier to change anything and the 19-year thing -- it is not 19 years specifically, but they say, is this really the way we live our lives now.

s&p gained two points. disney shares gained 2/3 of a percent and they reported a rise in the theme park attendance in the latest quarter. mcdonald's shares ended lower despite an upbeat sales report. the popularity of the breakfast menu pushed revenues up more than expected. the entertainment shares spiked 71% to close and you can see no operators and public debut after opening the day at just $9 apiece. impressive, but traders said the profit is likely due to the small size of the offering and shouldn't be seen as an inicator and how the broader market is doing. a fresh look at weekly claims which are expected to have edged up last week, earnings from pepsi co, dunkin brand and linked in are also due. that's a wrap of the day on wall street. >> still ahead here on world business today, cold weather is up across europe. we will take a look at what effect it is having on business. stay with us. me out of it? of course. travelocity? that's amazing! but i'm still stuck. come on man, dig it!
