hardest to choose which company really appeals to their tastes. >> they are the most fickle.the different, most difficult to reach. these are multichannel users. that is one thing we do at experion market services we look at multichannel marketing strategy. they are reaching customers through five different channels, through the web, search, mobile, print, tv. getting to these people is becoming more and more difficult to do and focusing on mobile will be one of the keys. david: that is why i say one thing absolute, this group you're talking about that is optimistic, the group you want to reach, are tied to their mobiles. they, forget about newspapers entirely. forget about magazine ads, et cetera. you want to focus on the mobile ads if you want to get them. >> you want to focus on mobile and realize these consumers are always on. they have the phone with them all the time and it is powerful. streaming more and more powerful. tablets and phones are becoming slightly larger and consumers take the phones into stores and get best possible research. david: bill, soon to be collea

. > real fickle industry, isn't it erik? you can never know what is going to hit and what is going to bomb. and so much rides on these movies. > > you kind of get a sense - we kind of saw the "giant slayer" bomb coming a mile away. but then you go back, and warner brothers goes back to the well for a sequel, and after "great gatsby" they have "the hangover part 3" coming out, which they hope is going to be a big hit for them. the other two, obviously, gigantic hits. the last film cost $80 million, so if they keep the budget down on this one, i think they can pull a profit. but, everyone hated the second movie, so you are going to see the profits come down on this one, i guarantee that. > i guess that would mean being a movie star, you're not getting as much pay these days. > > no, not at all. but then warner brothers, in june, has sort of their tent-pole film of the year, which is "man of steel," which is the new superman film directed by zack snyder. the last superman film, "superman returns," in 2006, didn't do very well f

teenagers are fickle. american eagle outfitters seems to be on the outs today. getting a cautious outlook, not seeing the traffic that they had hoped. david: looks like we have done it again. new all-time highs. liz: it is a little bit more muted. another headline input as the dow jones industrial closes at all-time highs, 14,295. the s&p up one and three quarters. the nasdaq could not hold the games they were able to find, and the russell 2000 up about a quarter of a percent. david: we're looking at oil in particular today, continuing the down slide, managed to stay up above $90 intraday, $90.44 for a barrel. a lot of people thought it was going to slide much further as a result of the death of hugo chavez. perhaps maybe now they will get the oil company down in venezuela up and running. we will talk about that later this hour. liz: real estate and th zillow getting a boost. websites bringing them to see homes for sale. zillow rallying to the highest level since the ipo, you can see trulia jumping nearly 10%. david: take a look at food related stocks, all five

we have massive amounts of natural gas, as you know, but the white house is kind of fickle on frackingf that. in fact, some are saying even a fraction of that. this china think to my you in ambassador john bolton. good to have you back. what do you make of this? obviously china wants in. they are not dump. what do you think they're looking at? >> chinese energy policy is sort of mitt romney's energy policy. all of the above. they had a huge demand for energy. in energy poor country. oil, natural gas, nuclear, you name it and thereaftert. the fact that they're looking at liquefied natural gas for propulsion of vehicles and doing it in this country, it reflects the they're doing it there as well. what are we doing? we have a president hitting stars can be run without gene windmills'. i think the chinese are taking a very practical approach. more practical than our administration, and it worries me. neil: you know what is interesting about the chinese in this strategy. they have gotten to the back of keystone planned. if we end up not committing to that their front and center talking to t

are you surprised that ann coulter is fickle in they they are affection? >> i am.ng that comes out of her. there is no one more abhor rent than she is. i can't believe they give her a platform. she gets under my nerves. >> john: were you surprised to see ann coulter to a flip flop on her savior and the most electable republican. >> she's rich for a reason. she's a salacious factory. an internet mean factory. that's why she's the best seller. >> you know i talk to joy behar about this a lot. she said she's a joke. but she's evil. >> john: but she talks evil. let's say that ann coulter comes to jesus and said we need to have love and respect for all of our human beings despite our differences. she would lose fans overnight. >> right she's not really for that party. she's not for anybody. she's for herself. she started this speech talking about her books and how many best sellers she has. >> john: hari wins the debate. what are they looking for? chris christie was one of the many electable people not invited. the most electable guy. now he looks like a bigger winner b

with an idea, we have them on the show, great company, but they come up with an idea, we know how fickleren are and one minute they want this and next is angry birds they can't turn on a dime to get it made and ship all the way acros overseas versus what you guys can do, right? >> part of the reason hasbro picked us to do tinker toys, for the first time in five decades was exactly that season. christmas season, october, september, back to school and we're able to reload the shelves exactly what you said, we're making stuff on demand in the factory. our turnaround time is matter of weeks as opposed to matter of months coming from overseas. liz: we're showing angry birds. let's talk about that. >> sure. liz: that is one area you have to keep it in china, for example, the head of these angry bird toys, because of rubberized coating that made better in china? >> not about better. more touches. so you touched on this labor is their advantage. injection molding, single color molding we're expert at that we have highly motivated it and we have robots and operating 24/7. that item has four, five

how will they lure over teenagers particularly fickled?inking, how do they mon advertise this? we have traditional means we but we have to see a monetary model that's better. >> okay, try to pry into the business model of waywire and they will get the chance to defend themselves. right now, nathan, the vernacular is, youtube it. it has become a verb. how do you make it, i'm going to waywire it. >> if you search for a song, stuck in a moment, by u2, you will find the karaoke versions or armpit versions but not the one you're looking for. taking youtube and putting it into your tool bar to drag a video from another site like cnbc, you're not capable of it. >> nathan, you are trying to target gen y. their attention span is short. how do you keep their attention? >> by creating wires of interest and letting you follow and see wires of your friends. they can see a video stream of things that might be interesting to you or brian or corps corey. >> steph, jump in. >> how hou do you get masses to upload, share on waywire when there is countless ot

of money manager is clearly not all in or has very little conviction because of worries about the ficklehington. thursday unemployment numbers, fears the nonfarm payroll on friday. he fears the words of every fed governor who talks about the buy. testimony by ben bernanke, all the press conferences by john boehner and the president. he definitely fears steve liesman and rick santelli. you cannot invest in self-imposed fear in this kind of bull market. if you find yourself thinking, okay, okay, wait until the bloodshed starts, we're okay. you are not going to take positions with any confidence and you'll be spooked out with every mention of anything involving a fed. you're going to be so defensive as to have much less exposure to stocks and much more cash than you need which is a license to fall behind in rapid fashion. most likely not participated in the upswing and you certainly aren't going to be involved in the industrials of the housing plays because both would be hurt by the fed's actions that you so fear. in fact, you would most likely be short those sectors if you're a hedge fund

die unexpectedly, if you let your papers scatter to the wind, then you may sacrifice your legacy to fickle favors of historical fashion. and i think that nast deserves better than that. so i came in the course of writing the book to hope that somehow it would help to restore him to the center of our understanding of the 19th century, or at least to a position more in keeping with his significance to our shared history. ms. . [applause] >> i think there was an intent that there would be questions and answers, and -- there is? mark says, yes. so if anyone -- yes, gentleman. >> reformers were probably, mostly moralists? >> yeah. >> and i -- what about the bosses like boss tweed and pendergast and michael curly and honey fits? doesn't they serve a useful social purpose for the immigrants; provide jobs? >> yeah. >> and entertainment and so forth? >> so as immigration spiked in the late 19th century, it filled the the cities with immigrants from a variety of places. and one of the ways that those communities got access to political power, to a voice in the governance of the place where they live

but march can be pretty fickle.are featuring today more sunshine so the recipients of some very spring-like weather for this full weekend of spring. absent of any clouds or moisture this morning, and if you like that, that will be the trend for a pretty nice weekend. but things will be changing as a series of weak area low pressure will drop down from the northern pacific. that will allow for some changes as we begin the work week. we will show them to you in just a moment. but we are talking about some pretty cool temperatures this morning. take a look as we begin to see the beginning of day light with clear conditions. here's a look from our emeryville camera. 36 santa rosa, 35 in napa with low 40s from livermore and hayward. 42 los gatos and also from our sutro camera, boy, isn't this pretty? no fog to speak of. that still will allow for cool numbers at our coast due to the on shore winds. the northerly winds will be backing off but through the overnight hours it has allowed for the fog to stay absent and the dew

and the problem is is that there are -- their so fickle. fashion changes on a dime. why i'm wondering if you don't -- rather than going to the personal trust and the cutting edge, sunday pulling back. you pull back. you watch. they seem to be more stabilized, not as subject to the physical changes. am i right or wrong? >> well, i mean, these are also higher price points you are talking. david: exactly. >> is the average teenager really spending $340 a handbag? probably not. what is interesting to my accessories, and that is fantastic. it is not release subject to weather. back in my handbag if it is going inside, which is great which will update my wardrobe. will we receive from a perspective, and accessories, it is all about innovation, having new-product, the detail, embellishment. they do that well. also, there cultivating the jet set lifestyle, which is will really resonates with consumers. also, last year, just as something to point out, operating some pretty lean inventory levels. definitely more inventory in the channel now. such great momentum that you need t

the ceo was on last week, done a magnificent job of navigating through cut-throat competition and a ficklesumer. his slow and steady hand on the tiller certainly worth a higher multiple than the s&p 500 which currently trades at 15 times earnings. so as that goes s&p multiple goes higher, it's reasonable to think that general mills should too. general mills has been nothing short of a remarkable payer of dividends. general mills, it's just incredible. in 2009, general mills paid 90 cents in dividends. now after the most recent dividend boost this month, pays $1.52, that's terrific appreciation. during that time the market capitalization has gone to $31 billion. if the stock had stayed the same, same market cap, it'd be yielding 4.9%. in other words, it had to go higher. and i think that's the key to the equation. you cannot get a sturdy 4% yield in this market anymore because the world is starved for yield and growth. thanks to the low interest rate environment stoked in part by ben bernanke. i think the reason why we can go from 15 times earnings to 18 times earnings is precisely because

both parties need to be aware of the fickleness. this is not a party focus generation who's going to support democrats or republicans through and through. there are a lot of opportunities , but the impulse towards solutions. the impulse or his private or solutions are nonprofit is both is driven by the frustration that the politicians. the best thing they could do would be to show more openness and show more particularly on social issues. it's not just millennial change in on these things. the whole country. >> host: let's talk about the social issues. some have described it to me and to be honest if a particular project of interest to me. i want conservatism -- as a partisan i want conservatism to have a better message for all of these voters. it's been described to me conservatism needs to reconcile with marriage, wheat and twitter. is it really that simple? >> guest: at each of those things is your resentment at the base set of issues on which conservatives could be doing better and frankly, some democrats could be doing better i

republicans to help engage with young people some more i think both parties need to be aware of the fickleness of the generation. this is not a party focused generation that is slated for support democrats or republicans through and through. and there are a lot of opportunities. but i think that the impulse towards solutions, the impulse towards private sector solutions or nonprofit solutions i think it is both driven by the frustration with the politicians, so i think the best thing they could do would be to show more openness and show more particularly on some of the social issues i think conservatives can make up. >> host: let's talk about some of those social issues. some have described it to me and to be honest this is a particular project of interest to meet. i want conservatism. i want them to have a better message for actually all these voters that it's been described to me that conservatism needs to reconcile with the marriage, weed and twitter. is it really that simple? >> guest: i think each of those is representative of a set of issues on which conservatives could be doing better a

they've had problems before and teens can be fickle. >> how about the virtual doctor?opinion on urban? who made the more compelling argument, dr. "j"? >> i like buying it on dips. i agree with joe. but i think the risks are to the downside here. so i haven't touched this one lately, judge. i think i would wait, like i say, i'm not saying you're wrong, joe. i say we wait to get in this one. >> tell us who you think won the debate. you can tweet us. use either the hashtag bull or bear. we'll have the results and what you thought at the end of the show. >>> the european markets are closing an hour later than they initial do because of the time change. and simon hobbs has it covered for us. >> american markets have outperformed what's going on in europe. very reactive phase at the moment partly as a result of the data that came out of france which was not good. france could be headed for another recession, its third in four years. also the china data wasn't very good overnight. the dow, the s&p in positive territory, if we can have a look at europe as it's the european clo

i think both parties need to be aware of the fickleness of this generation. this is not a party focused generation who is going to support democrats or republicans through and through, and there are a lot of opportunities, but i think the impulse towards solutions, the impulse towards private sector solutions, or nonprofit solutions -- i think it's both, it's important to note -- is driven by the frustration with the politicians, so i think the best thing they could do would be to show more openness and show more -- particularly on these social issues i think -- conservatives can make up a lot of ground. >> host: let's talk about the social issues. some have described it to me -- to be honest, a particular project of interest to me. i want conservativism as a partisan i want conservatism to have better -- it's been described to me that conservatism means to reconcile with gay marriage, and twitter. is it that simple? sunny don't know it's that simple but reach of those things is representative of a set of issues on which conservatives could be doing better, a

and tb problem with that is these guys are fickle, they can sell as fast as they buy if they decide tout of the market. and it also pushes up home prices, so americans will be less likely to want to buy. and third, there's a real problem here with the sort of demand meeting the potential supply if builders start building, which is probably going to happen if supply stays low. right now, there's a relatively small number of americans who are wanting to get into the market, and not a lot more will. because consumers are still not doing that great and lending's going to remain tight as banks were burned and as regulations are being poured on them. >> so chris, the inventory numbers, obviously, are very low. you hear the issues that daniel is bringing up. what's your take on where this market heads? >> well, i agree. there are definitely some units being hung on to by the banks and things like that. but on the other hand, as prices continue to rise, you're also going to see a lot of folks who have been underwater for the last few years suddenly get above water. they're going to get back in

they're very fickle but they can be very powerful.hink right now pullbacks reloan that long term discipline asset allocation. the markets right now compared to your alternatives, they look attractive. >> what would make you nervous? that the european problems do start translating and hit our markets? >> if you look at, like, italy's like an adjustable rate mortgage. 5%, you know, you've got problems at 3%. they're doing okay. if we see spreads in italy and spain react in response to this, this would cause us concern. also in france, too. france has got a mediterranean coast as well. we could see some pressure there. >> steve sachs, how would you play this as an investor? >> yeah. i definitely think we'd probably need to see a lot more headlines out of europe to really build any more concern than is already baked into the market. i think what we're seeing today is a reaction we've seen in the market for the better part of the last year. people are buying dips. people still want to add equity exposure. they still want to add risk to the

i think both parties need to be aware of the fickleness of this generation. this is not a party focus generation that is going to support democrats or republicans through and through. there are a lot of opportunities but i think the impulse towards solutions, the impulse towards private-sector solutions or nonprofit solutions and it's both it's important to note is driven by the frustration with the politician. so i think the best thing they can do with the to show more openness and show more particularly on some of the social issues. i think conservatives could make up a lot of gravity because it's not just millennials that are changing these things. it's the whole country. >> host: let's talk about some of those social issues. some have described them to me and to be honest it's a particular interest to me. i want conservatism as a partisan. i want conservatism to have a better message for all of these voters. it's been described to me that conservatism needs to reconcile with marriage, weed and twitter. is it really that simple? .. >> there is a lot of tal

is often seen as a fickle friend. if we summon tell mubarak he has to step down, one of the saudis going to think? one of the pakistanis going to think? it was just a reminder of that, but i think the arab spring, the chapters around the arab spring are a perfect example of what this book is trying to do. it's trying to bring the reader into, or give the reader a front seat row to diplomacy in action. it's a great way to travel around the world, sitting in your chair, getting a history lesson on international affairs, and learning how to connect the dots, learning how one crisis affects another, another region. how what happens in far-flung areas actually affects people in the united states. and trying to do in a very accessible way that makes it engaging for people thinking in the florida or oregon or not quite sure why they should care about the arab world drama it's an interesting topic, jumping off point for the discussion of american power. for all this talk of american decline, you write in the book that no matt

the book gives aarticular view of human nature, machiavelli writes that humans are ungrateful, fickle, deceptive, a voice of danger, eager to gain. he says that it is natural and normal to take things that do not belong to you. it sketches a view of how we can and cannot control our fate, even the best prepared and direct events only half the time. chance controls the rest. fortune favors the bold. this is a book with silences. the biggest silence is its lack of all moral evaluation. how do we read it quick do we read it as a manual for success? how do we evaluate its author? according to the effectiveness of his strategies, or is the author himself implicated morally by writing homely and without his approval -- home late -- about the effectiveness of assassination, wars of aggression, colonization and the necessary atrocities. the other silences in this book, whether there are moral laws that transcend the naked pursuit of power, or that the laws of a particular states. the status of what we now call universal human rights. such silences take us from the realm of the city state of r

amy fickleing a news editor with mcclatchy, and walt cronkite, an associate producer with cbs news. [applause] our guest this morning would probably love to have one wish granted today, a winning formula, candidate and money to take control of congress, the white house and even more statehouses. the reality though is that it's tough to be a political party chairman, especially one on the losing end of the 2012 campaign for the white house and full congressional control. but when you're a tried and true wisconsin badger, like republican national committee chairman reince priebus, you don't give up easily. mr. prebus, like his state mate, longtime friend and political ally paul ryan, tirelessly barn stormed the country in an effort to recruit and promote candidates, push the party message and earn votes with ticket-topper mitt romney. then came last november. remys did hold on to the u.s. house of representatives and majority of gubernatorial seats among other win, yet given the fiery and sometimes ugly blame game, mr. priebus might have been wished for the days he was recognized as a

one of the things that fascinates me about the revolution is the fickleness of fame. 300 men are murdered santa anna at goliad in cold blood and they are not immortalized in stone. they are not remembered. there were no movies made about them. could you comment on that? i have always been fascinated by how some of the sum men are famous at the alamo and they are mortal. >> again it goes back to i think to the myth created immediately after the alamo both because of who died there and because of probably because the feeling of guilt among the rest of the texas insurgence because they had let this go down and also because of that moment of choice which maybe was bogus and maybe was not. but you know, one of the things i think i would like to tie in to the previous discussion as well because you asked, would the alamo be viable? i think only if the story is recast or be calibrated so that it includes the mexican side of the story. i try to do that as much as i could in my novel and its it's really compelling. when you live in texas, you grow up among people for whom the alamo is either a sac
