abigail doolittle is with us now.gail: the analysts are basically saying we have seen all of the slowing growth. what he is talking about is what we all see. basically the fact that there are so many stores everywhere that the new stores do not have a great chance of growing or being profitable. if we happen the bloomberg and tape it would just take a look at the function, this is a map of the u.s. and it shows us all in the u.s., look at this. it is pretty it -- it is pretty incredible. represented here on this map, you can see how they would all eat on each other. targets and airports. it is the main issue fighting against starbucks. the food and beverage innovation has peaked and labor investment apparently may need to be put in play. as a number of challenges. elsewhere.out can everyone is looking forward thinking they could be a growth grabber. it is 14% of revenue, 6%. should some time on the -- on a phone or cheap if it is likely to happen. this is a five-year chart. you see shares have appreciated last fively

abigail doolittle is here with the latest.bigail: we are looking at nice gains for the major averages. we'll tied a rally for the s&p 500, up five days in a row. nasdaq up .8%. the s&p 500 and the nasdaq on pace for their best weekly performance since the middle of july. on the month, let's take a look at the monthly performance in the bloomberg by taking a look at g #btv 2087. we will see for the month of august, we have both the --daq in white and that the let's see if that can be reversed by the end of the day. if not, it will be the first monthly loss for the s&p 500 since october of last year. interesting to see how that plays out. taking a look at one stock that has boosted all three averages this month, apple. today, we see an intraday spike. the eight this month. the company sent out invitations for its product launch event. they will be talking about three new iphones, the apple tv set-top box and the new apple .atch the stock on pace for its best year since 2010. we have lots of winners here with the exception of fiv

abigail doolittle is here with us right now. we have taken a little turn. abigail: we're looking at small declines. you can see the dow, s&p 500, and nasdaq are fractionally lower. we had a better than a 1% rally for the nasdaq, it 1% rally for the s&p 500. battle between the bulls and the bears, basically even. interesting to see whether these small declines lead to something more. we will be reporting on that as the day trades on. something we don't have is a 5% decline. it is pretty interesting. the other times were back in 1963. 500 shows the s&p as a witness was going without a 5% decline. we can see much bigger gains this time around than in those past times. just think that we are having this rally without any sort of volatility to the downside. we may not have any major volatility to the downside relative to the s&p 500, but retail is a different story. it is a bit of a train wreck. all's is weighing on corners of retail. also beauty also trading sharply lower, down by about 4%. foot locker down 4% also. when w-- it is not a risk on day. the 10 year

here is abigail doolittle to explain to us this movement.: they did post a smaller than expect a loss as you mentioned so you think that would be good, but they missed sales by 3%. this is the sixth time it has happened in the last eight quarters. a decline in traditional watch consumersnvestors and are going toward the wearable fitness watches. that is a segment for fossil. they have been doing well there, too. but growth was less than expected. plus, on the margin side, they had to pay upward. if we go into the bloomberg and look at the intelligence chart, this is a chart of the gross margins since 2013. we see it is clearly going in the wrong direction. 58% gross margin back in 2013 now closer to 50%. they have given up nearly 800 basis points in gross margins trying to help juice that were business without much success so far at least. at least to the point investors like. if you are also's fossil's ceo are cheap rent strategist, you should see this coming. abigail: there had been a watch cycle decline, plus they are seeing a drop in mal
