the last time procter & gamble spoke on its conference call, we heard a multi-page lament about currency much dominated the call because the dollar is so strong. with 26% of its business located in europe, i think the narrative changes in a major way when proctor announces its next quarter. finally, biggest for last, apple. apple has 21% of its overall researches in sales. however, any close read of the apple conference call will show you that 21% of its sales have been hurt by the dollar strength. now that we're hearing apple might be doing better than expected this quarter, although supplier reported a disappointing quarter tonight and people will extrapolate that negatively to apple, you can see a chance for a heftier earnings bump than expected when the company reports. that would be a major change in the apple story. tonight another international colossal company, fedex reported magnificent earnings report. it will even be better when we see the dollar seeking versus the europe, because they have such a big your pooern business. now, look, we know everything i've just said is conjec

two of the best performers so far this year are walmart and procter & gamble.e was really looking for walmart to outperform coming into this year so i think what you're looking at here is rather than focusing on the dividends is investors are coming into higher quality stocks and higher quality stocks tend to pay dividends. what's been really interesting here and year-to-date from the start of the year to the low in february we saw the highest paying dividend stocks outperform the rest of the market. you expect to see that in a market downturn and since the market bottomed because the best performing group of 50 stocks in the s&p 500 is the highest yielders so we'll see it on the way up and on the way down and on the way up, and when you see that kind of outperformance you better have a good reason why you don't think it's going to continue going forward so this whole trend of investors moving towards higher quality. >> show that support is sticking with that group of stocks so at this point the question we put for the is do you stick with the ones that have be

procter & gamble changes the structure.ies are doing well if fchltwell. if we see banking, the whole idea of a bounce back was a mistake. when the fed got out of the picture, we stopped thinking about every statement that the fed made, look what happened. look what happened. when we focussed on individual companies. think about if you -- had you been in the marathon oil secondary, or devon secondary. there were opportunities. people wanted to ignore the opportunities because people said the world is coming to an end. the whole world coming to an end thesis has not played out in my lifetime. you mentioned the fed statements. we got one this morning saying he sees 2%. we will get bullard later in the week. >> bullard is talking about things better. when the cat's away, mice will play. >> we'll get stop trading with jim in a moment. it's more than the cloud. it's security - and flexibility. it's where great ideas and vital data are stored. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions from a trusted it partner. includ

i spent five years working in mainland china for procter & gamble and saw firsthand the challenges they face environmentally over there. and i'm just concerned that if we don't continue to lead and invest in clean technology, clean fossil fuel technology, we may abdicate that leadership perhaps to china or to india or somewhere else or perhaps nobody takes those reins and leads with it. so, i think taking away money from one of the few larger-scale clean coal technology programs and repurposing it for other projects is troubling. and this is at a time when the administration to the epa power plan is threatening to take away affordable power from the grid such as the case of the coal strip plant in my home state of montana. so, the question is, why are we undercutting projects that are applying clean coal and carbon capture technologies at a commercial scale? >> well, let me make a few points, senator daines. first of all, i might just today there was an article that china announced that its coal production -- its coal use went down by 3% in one year. they probably have peaked in terms o
