and in fact, martha washington had a relationship with ab abigail adams. i have to say i was tickled to find out there was almost a sister hood of revolutionary ladies. can you tell us about who was in that and how they interacted? >> they had a lot of in common, they were both wives who were partners. they were not wives who were stuck to the side and left out of everything. and they both were deeply committed to the idea that this new republic. that's something they cared about. >> they were political in that sense. >> they were political in that way. and they also helped each other socially. abigail was extremely pleased and tickled by the fact that her place was to the right of martha washington on the sofa. and if another lady took her place before she arrived, the president himself would ask her to leave so that abigail could sit there. so she almost had a crush on martha washington. she was a wonderful person, she was. >> also abigail being an adams is left delightfully account including the friday night receptions, the one person who escapes her oc

abigail considered that her place to sit next to mrs. washington. they met people as they came in. they shook hands, but there was never the sense of a platform or thrown to raise them above. that was never the way that she looked at herself as the president's first lady. it was never the way that he looked at himself. they both had a good sense of their own dignity, certainly. but they never had the sense of being somehow starstruck individuals separate from the common herd. one of the things that i really like to do in getting into her mind was to read the books that she read. to go over the books them by the washington red. again, how do we know? well, malvern and has a wonderful collection of books that has her inscription. they have others in which family members have written that they love this book because my grandmother read and loves this book as well. so it is quite a collection to look at and to read and say what was the sort of thing that she likes to read. and first and foremost was the bible or her prayer book. she was a very religious episcopalian anglican. she spent

>> abigail adams is one. mary todd lincoln is another.g in the 20th century. >> it is interesting. in the movie "lincoln" we see a mary todd lincoln that seems to be more conflicted about being first lady and talks about how difficult it is to live in that house at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> well, remember, a movie is fiction. that's one of the problems. even though i like the way the movie portrayed her, but they didn't know the behind the scenes lobbying that she did. she was an abolitionist, believe it or not, and she was perhaps president lincoln's biggest influence on abolishing slavery. >> and i am also curious about that, mark, what you found. that's also been a modern day controversy how much influence first ladies have on their husbands. should they be will confidant? should they be talking policy? we know what happened to hillary clinton when she tried to take on health care. we certainly saw nancy reagan take a lot of hits how close she was to her husband. what did you find out about that and those relationships and particula

i'm a better buyer of best buy at this point. >> abigail, what do you think?ur view on fundamentals here in. >> the fundamentals, maria. i think rich has a great perspective on the technicals from the near term, but i think best buy is not going to be a best buy for investors over the long term especially when we look at amazon. this is turning into an online super star and consumers can buy things there than at brick and mortars. they show great success in the e-book space going forward. i think a big portion of the growth will come from amazon, bundling, to you-day free delivery. that will build customer loyalty. revenue, earnings, operating, cash flow all look good. i think we'll see a near-term pullback but over the long term amazon is a really bullish chart. best buy -- >> i think in the short term here you have to think outside the box. you have to think outside the big box. back in the 1 '90s we said no one will need a physical bank branch when online branches came into play. >> i think that the online space, these base are actually going to continue to

penney and abigail, we'll begin with you.od earings, and the stock was representative of that. something tells me that your fundamental case on j.c. penney will be a little more difficult. >> that is absolutely true, scott. j.c. penney is really a story in turmoil, company in turmoil, due to a transition isn't working out. the reason that we know that a transition to the new jcp isn't working, look at numbers. same-store sales are plunging and free cash flow is in a free fall and revenues, earnings, margins, all going in a right direction so until j.c. penney can prove that they are no longer burning through cash like crazy, this stock, in my view, is just very bearish, could really go no the low teens, single digits, and the way that we would see that sort of a transition would be any kind of improvement, sustained improvement. macy's, on the other hand, retail done right, really executed on great strategies relative to local merchandising, aligning the stores with the internet mobile and the quarter was great out of $1 bill

between myself and my wonderful collaborator who i like so much, and maria as i think a quite it was abigail wayne. she is a very fine scholar and she was at usc at one point in more devoted to critical theory whereas i am much more on the call it if you will natural science side of things. she is more interested in justice. i'm more interested in order not to the exclusion of the other so the book is written in a sense an explicit debate encourages the reader to say people have been thinking about order for the five pages and now people have to think about the applications for justice and vice versa. >> isamu widger co-author who integrated feminism? >> yes. i am actually more known as an exponent of what is called rational choice theory with the application of economic models abbey as she is nicknamed is quite expert on critical theory, in particular gender-based analysis where obviously as different as you can get in our approaches in this field. each one serves as a naturally and we feel confident to say you just went too far there. the book in other words tends to have in my humble opin

. >> abigail, talking 50-day moving averages. he's in your territory, what do you think? >> very impressive. i agree. i also love the i will campaign but, unfortunately, investors are a little less enthusiastic. when we take a look at the weekly chart, under armour has started to reverse its three-year uptrend. this shows the buyers are becoming less enthusiastic. as a result, the sellers have started to step in. we see a series of lower highs. the real test is ahead though. unless those lower highs can be broken to the upside, under armour is very likely to drop back down to a floor of support right around 44. buyers have stepped in there nicely over the last couple of months, but it seems likely that there's bearish pressures that could break to the downside as low as 30. under armour is bearish to neutral. the near-term up trend is explosive to the upside. there is a little congestion there and i think it will resolve to the upside. i think we'll see shares trade up. >> hang on, jeff. barney frank took all your time. i've got to go, my friend. sorry. see you later. >>
