i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people, parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of color, youth

look at cisco for example. this is a company that has $46 billion in cash, yielding about 2.6% right now. and john chambers in january announced that they will be moving more into the services sector. very similar to what ibm's done in the past. so to say it can't happen and hasn't worked isn't true. >> for every one ibm you can pull out, look at xerox and polaroid and atari. i mean, i can give you a xwr graveyard of tech stocks that didn't follow the model. >> what's wrong with tech then that they don't follow a regular growth in earnings model? what's the problem? >> i think they do -- the problem is once tech stocks begin to pay difference tends, the best years historically have been behind them. forget about valuations from '07 and 2000. just take a look at almost any 20 year period. >> what is your point? they're using that money for innovation? >> they become behemoths. just like general stock, it was the storied stock of the '90s. >> but that's not technology. >> no, but the same thing. when companies be

fourth worst, cisco. i think cisco could be a big winner in 2013.ven as the stock is acting terribly courtesy of a downbeat outlook from john chambers when it reported last. i have never in all of my years of following cisco seen this stock at such a discount to all the other stocks in the s&p 500. it's a meager ten times earnings for heaven's sake. frankly, that's ridiculous. i think this stock has the best chance to flip from dow lead to dow lead. third anchor on the dow, walmart, which rallied 65% with dividends. this is a tough one because the stock has moved so much lately that i regard it as overextended on a chart basis, especially after the company's squeamish outlook. like alcoa, do not look for too much near term help from walmart to power the dow through its all-time highs. second worst performer is exxon. this company's much too revered for my taste. the $400 billion behemoth, not growing reserves much at all and that's the key metric for oil. paid top dollar for a natural gas company at near all time high and offers a meager 2.5% yield.

that yield would be in line with cisco, hp, and microsoft but still less than intel.ms like the street would be satisfied with that, but would it be the kind of catalyst that would cause the stock to run like last year? nobody i talked to thought so, guys. >> i think the key here is that, if you increase the dividend, all of a sudden apple becomes the holding of a dividend fund that needs to see the dividend increases in order to invest in a stock. we've talked to a lot of dividend fund managers who say we need that dividend increase. >> karen finer, he brought that up as well. if their backs are against the wall and they've got to put it somewhere, i think 3% makes a lot of sense. i don't like the company where you compared cisco and hewlett-packard and microsoft, a lot of companies matured, and you've got that 3% dividend yield, and they're a company that's basically gone nowhere. >> it's not a positive to be add the to the dividend. hasn't worked for intel. talk to an intel shareholder, how he likes his 3% dividend. >> it's a very anti-steve jobs thing to do. becau
