angela aarons may give the skills that the company seems to lack. wonder the ceo of salesforce.com tweeted that aarons might be the biggest hire by tim cook since steve left us. i don't know if this is sanctioned by apple, but benioff says, quote, she is a true visionary and now tim's number two and successor. shores it up with the retail exec with the most social smarts is someone you want to back. you know what apple needs to do when it reports? i'm going to suggest something so fatuous that every veteran watching the show is turning it off right now. i think apple needs to split the stock 4 for 1. raise the dividend again. making it rewarding for the retail investors, to you and not the high-frequency trader hedge fund kingpin bums. hear me out on this. there are two executives i believe care passionately about the stock and shareholders. vf corp reported amazing numbers this morning and gave you a 4 for 1 split. here's what i'm thinking, you don't get many better and smarter execs and they see what i see, a market dominated by trading bandits wh

angela aaron is going to step down the middle of next year, does that put apple at the $500 point?e: it doesn't yet. this is good news because they've been waiting for a great retail chief to come on. someone to come in and replace ron johnson and he stepped down and now, miss arends has come with a great reputation and known as a tur around specialist and certainly has numbers and sales to prove it so there's high hopes of the 53-year-old woman coming into apple to turn things around in this retail position. stuart: by the way, nicole, in stock and salary last year, she at burberry made 26.3 million and she's leaving, and she must have been induced with some sizable inducement to go over to apple, but she's taken the job. 498 on apple as we speak. we'll be back to that shortly. here is ed butowsky and sandra smith. investigators investors saw a deal coming and it looks like d.c., might be a deal, probably is going to be a deal and the market looks like it wants to go up. start with you, sandra. that's my premise. this market wants to go up. what do you say? >> well, the stock mark

the story we're buzzing about over here is angela aarons leaving from being the ceo at burberry and goingretail division there. she was the highest executive -- highest paid executive in the united kingdom. shares of burberry are down 5% this morning because of her departure. and we think she's going to be one of the highest ranked women ever at apple. this is pretty exciting on a lot of fronts. it also tells us that apple probably sees itself as a luxury brand. back to you. >> the question, michelle, is this a feeling of a bit of a desperate move they had to do something dramatic for apple since they've obviously still an incredible company with incredible revenue but has been a bit static in general with their product development and everything else? >> yeah. so i think there is some criticism of that. but the new phone is selling a lot better than a lot of folks had predicted. i'm not sure desperate is the right word. certainly their retail has been so phenomenal for so long and they really want to keep that going. remember, those stores bring in more dollars per square foot than any o
