because as the day wore on, as courtney was reporting, it seemed like apple was moving.t seemed like they were going to put a vote up to the shareholders. the deal here is whether they are going to have a dividend yielding preferred stock. where do you see this apple story going? it's so widely held and traded. >> yeah. i mean, look, i suppose einhorn is entirely correct that company with that level in cash ought to either invest it to keep the business growing or benefit the shareholders. in the greater scheme of things, obviously this particular suit is not intrinsically important to apple or its long-term prospects. it's more that general issue we all have about apple which is incredibly successful company, likely to be so for awhile. i happen to own the stock and i bought it as it fell down in these levels and below. but if they don't come up with a compelling new suite of products, then they really are going to be all about their cash and maybe if they have a dividend. >> so this is a little bit reminiscent of microsoft which for many years wouldn't pay a dividend.

well, as courtney just said, traffic was terrible. it was down 17%, but here's the news.ohnson basically just admitted that he's made a mistake. that is consumer has voted and they vote for discounts. so, he's going back to discounting. his company spent $1 billion in the last year to take away discounts and do a 180 and go back to where they came from. and he still is choosing to call the discounts a gift. >> so, it's karen, can i ask you a question? do you think that the consumer will buy that, will be happy or pleased with that gift or do you think that he's lost that consumer for good? >> well, i think he's lost a good chunk of their consumers by taking it away. and over a year, they've learned the fact that, you know, that discount is not there and they've gone elsewhere. i think if they get aggressive and reach out to their old consumer, say, hey, we're going back to where we came from, potentially he gets some of that traffic back in the stores. and as courtney just said, they did talk about valentine's day and the promotions, the traffic picked up a little bit. bu

and courtney, we saw the fed yesterday. i would almost say that walmart has a chance to make almost as much news based on what they tell us about the current state of the consumer and what they think over the next three months. >> i think so, too. so they will always give us what their top three worries are, which i think may be more of interest this time and another time, gas prices, payroll taxes, joblessness, food taxes. but as of investors weren't focused enough on walmart earnings, walmart executives discussed disastrous sales in january suggesting people aren't spending as much. the ceo did say current macroeconomic conditions continue to impact our customers. naturally people want to know if those concerns are weighing on customer sales and projections. wall street is looking for $1.57 a share on $128.8 billion in revenue. that's the higher end of walmart's previously issued guidance range. the world's largest retailer forecast, the u.s. key same-store sales to grow between 1% and 3%. last year's fourth quarter grew

. * courtney it causes us problems because then it seems like we're hearing two things. and i wrestle with it because, not to completely contradict what commissioner moran just said, but it's not always about the numbers. you know, there's human capital, and investing in communities, and investing in the community work force is something that resonates with the people that live in our town. and i'm a little disappointed that we've kind of decoupled, to use the same term, because as i've been discussing this program, it has always been about a build out, which we have yet to assign a cost to, which now appears to be -- to go solar build out, which even causes me more confusion. and now we're going to talk about numbers. and my concern is it really over complicates things, with all due respect, because now we're talking about something that's completely different. i mean, there's nobody, you know, there was a reference to the last general manager, what seemed like an hour ago at this point, there is' nobody that's more interested in jobs than our current general manager. *
