what you have at t.j., ross stores and burlington, they have leverage on store growth, operating margins. and they're getting better brands. >> dana, thanks for your time. grasso, urban outfitters. is it your top pick for 2014? >> i think i go back to the abercrombie. i think it's good for another 20 points. it has to settle in and hold the mid-30 level. but urban outfitters, on the chart, i'll take a risk and get $5 to $7 upside. >> josh? >> i think people should look at a finish line footwear. this is a stock that doesn't get a lot of attention. it's very cheap right now on a cash flow to enterprise value basis. what's really amazing is the trend. it's been outperforming the xrt, going back to september. every time it has a pullback, it pulls back beautifully to support. and the buyers come on time where they should. that trend is a thing of beauty. i think it's something that a trader and an investor could get comfortable with on the entry points. >> for consumer spending here in the u.s., to europe's economy. check out the front page of "the final times" today. this caught our eye to

the lowest total, minus 29 in burlington, vermont. they didn't get much snow at all but those areas that did get the snow. we still have wind gusts of 40 out on cape cod but they have really died off over the interior of new england so that's why it's a little more bearable outside. so what is going to be next? the next big storm is coming right through the middle of the country. as the timing of it looks like saturday night and then during the day on sunday, this pink shading shows the possibility of 6 plus inches, indianapolis, toledo, detroit, maybe a little bit here into st. louis too, kansas city, maybe clipping chicago. those are the cities at risk of another shovelable, plowable snowfall. this is going to be one of the coldest outbreaks we've seen since 1996, almost 20 years since we've seen something this cold. we're going to be talking windchill values much lower than right now. right now we have windchills about minus 15 in this region. by the time we get through sunday night into monday morning, areas like minneapolis and o

notice how cold it is up in burlington. 10 below right now. that's the actual air temperature. this cold air will get pulled down into the storm system on the backside, so early tomorrow morning with the winds, it will feel like 20 to maybe 30 below throughout the entire northeasterly coast. so here's what we call future tracker. it's our computer model. you can see the two pieces of energy. as we head towards the evening hours, the snow starts to fill in from washington, d.c., through new york city, through hartford, all the way up to boston. the snow is very heavy. there's the rain/snow line just south of new york city. early tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m., we're still seeing the snow from new york out towards long island, also towards boston. it's still very windy outside. and again, since the snow is so light, it's going to be blowing around, creating white-out conditions. so traveling tonight from the long island expressway, i-95, up and down the east coast would be very, very difficult because visibilities will be so low. by tomorrow afternoon, the storm is pulling away, but

country, whether yemen or somalia or afghanistan, or some place, is making a phone call to someone in burlington, vermont, for example. do you want the nsa to check out who that individual is, why this known terrorist suspect is making a phone call to an american in vermont? >> yes. in other words, look, where there is reason to believe that somebody may be involved in a terrorist attack, i want our government to do everything that he can to protect the american people. but what i do not want are files being kept on the 99.99% of americans who have nothing to do with terrorism. >> so how do you bridge that gap? how do you -- protect national security on the one hand and prevent another 9/11 while on the other hand making sure that americans' privacy is protected? >> well, that is the -- that is the question. and let me add to that question by saying that that technology is changing every day. and think about what technology will be like in ten years from now. and that is why we need a constant discussion and debate on this issue. my own view is that at this point, we have gone too far in attacki

republicans, there's been some criticism and someone named chris brown said over the weekend in "the burlingtong to quote here, "the one-sided nature of the committee raises questions about the impartiality of the investigation. new jerseyans deserved a balanced bipartisan search for answers but the makeup of the committee is a stacked deck." what would you say to him? >> the committee is bipartisan, the minority party has representatives on that committee. they will have a voice to speak up to point out anything that they think is inappropriate, and they will certainly be able to ask the attorney any series of questions that they choose to ask, so i can assure you that this will move along in an impartial and very just way. >> well, let me ask you about that, move along, because as you said, it's already been so many months since this happened and people have a lot of questions and not a lot of answers at this point. do you have a kind of timeline for this? >> well, it will depend upon how quickly we get the documents, and on how forthcoming the folks who we subpoena following those documents

we've got a system in place that's built on someone else's train tracks, on burlington northern's tracks in my area, i'm sure on other companies' tracks in other parts of the state, but if it moves forward and runs out of money, part of the plan is to move amtrak over there. what happens to the stations in my district? that's one issue i see. in california 21, like mentioned earlier and a good portion of the valley, we face a water shortage, a drought. some of that is natural but a lot of that is regulatory. and we've also got a severe lack of infrastructure to deliver water. e've got temperance flat and other infrastructure that needs to be built. it would benefit not just california but the whole state in general. when you look at a project like the high speed rail, if it was going to go forward, you'd have a high speed rail most people couldn't afford to ride. if you build water infrastructure you've got water to grow a product, water to feed families, water for our communities. once you have that, you start to grow crops york start to produce products, you start to improve an economy

warren buffett's investment in burlington northern i give-and-go made railroads -- five years ago madetive sector. if there areg misrepresentations or misperceptions about investing in rail? what do people most get wrong? people think the railroad industry is an old line, stable business. actually we are very technologically adept. we are very focused on service and a lot of shippers are not quite as familiar with the great service story of the railroad industry these days. and a lot of people just don't realize how much of the nation's economy we move. we are an absolutely integral part of everything that happens in this country. muche are much broader, more sophisticated than i think a lot of people understand. and as the economy grows, as fuel prices go up, as the highways become more and more congested, we are going to play more and more of a part of this nation's transportation infrastructure. >> how do you deal about the concerns over shipping of oil and chemicals after the disasters in 2013? things we arehree working on in particular with crude oil -- although, as you know, ther
