if you look at the rest of the numbers, whether it is from kohl's, macy's, most particularly walmarthis morning, and in the spate of retailers about to report, this has been a very difficult quarter across most retail, particularly in the discretionary categories, notably apparel and department stores. there's a lot of weakness out there. jcp more or less is a reflection of the overall economy, which remains very weak, but a reflection of a company that was down so far, it's like the old country songs -- when you are down this far, anything looks like up, and this is now looking like up. >> i want to thank you for joining us. all right, i want to talk about the broader market now. stocks sold off today. the dow jones industrial average losing more than 1%, down 167 points, and also the s&p 500 losing a little less than 1%. i want to get some insight from dan alpert, the founder and managing partner of westwood capital, and chad morganlander, managing partner with stifel nicolaus. is there any particular reason you are ascribing to today's selloff? >> geopolitical concerns, perhaps co

the others, whether kohl's or jc penney, others you want to name they have gone to the sidelines.y's has dominated. retail stores are the dominant player. they invested so heavily of ecommerce and the wave of the future. i think macy's is in an advantageous position and i don't see terry lundgren leaving any time soon but it was concerning he sold a lot of stock last month. >> thank you. >>> who do you like here? >> we were buying macy he's this morning and sold it in the lower 60s. they just announced a restructuring program for $100 million. they will see savings, i think that gives them cushion on the earnings side and are buying back a lot of stock. you believe the story he was just telling? >> die. they are very well-positioned. the stock is pulled back giving us reward to risk in earnings. >> i like dick's sporting goods. what i like is what you talked about for weeks, under armour and nike and under armour back where it was a while ago. look at the way flikky is performing bouncing of that 72 and change area. you look at the growth area of these two names and dick sporting

we got from costco and gap this week, spring may have sprung and we get descent quarters from co kohl's, wall street and jcpenney. it makes walmart a descent buy into the quarter. particularly if it comes down ahead of its report. i know people that want to speculate with penny. it's a one up one down situation. that's not a great risk reward. i can't stop you from doing what you're going to do. finally friday we get housing start figures and those will matter. the industry slowed down when it started speeding up. too little inventory of new homes and older poem homes selling with too expensive mortgage money. if we get fewer than 1 million housing starts you can perhaps at last bring stubborn mortgage rates down too. if you notice i'm going all in far value next week with the possible exception of fossil and i'm hoping that apple doesn't do anything to destroy it's own value or to put it another way, if you want him so much write him a giant check. if not forget beatz and spend 16 billion to buy pandora and harmon so you can own music here there and everywhere. let's go to john. >> cal

back and look three years, wal-mart's three years sales growth is 4.1%, double target and quadruple kohl's. >> wal-mart is a large company and it takes a lot to move the need. that's billions and billions of dollars. there is something to be said about what jan's point is the economic strains many consumers are feeling. they did see bumps where you expect to see bumps at easter time in very specific categories. folks aren't freely spending as much as they used to. i took an informal twitter poll and people said, i'm not spending, my debt is too high. i've learned my lesson. >> is wal-mart too big? >> you can't ask that. >> wal-mart is not big enough. they need to absorb everything in the united states down in their category and do it quickly. they need to grow small stores and take it away from dollar stores and own the part of the business that ties in with target. they're about to do both of those. >> they are growing market share in a number of consumer categories. >> including groceries. >> i guarantee you target and walmart sell 95% of the same stuff. the differientation is in marketi

rachael, you partner with kohl's. >> they buy my products. first thing i designed was a spaghetti pot. i did not like getting a spaghetti facial while you are waiting for the spaghetti to bend to your will. you look all sweaty. and all the stoneware and the pots and pans. i work with meyer corporation to produce them for me. it is not like i am a spokesperson. i want them to serve a function. spoons that don't need a spoonrest -- and they're all practical. is it the largest value in that category? >> a lot of chefs will have a producer go get what is called market goods somewhere in china, and they will bring them back and put their name on them and that is all right. >> who are you talking about when you say that? >> there's a lot of people out there that you can see on qvc. if they are selling $110 collections of pots, they are doing it because it is a quick way to capitalize on their recognition factor. that is a fast and easy way to get money and very appealing. i have turned down a lot of things. >> give us an example. >> people want us

we didn't see good numbers out at walmart, we didn't see good numbers out of the kohl's, and a fabulous number out of the nordstrom's. that's kind of what the economy looks like, but nordstrom's is doing a good job. the rack was great for them. online was great. they're about to monetize their receivables, there will be really good about getting something back to the consumer, or the investor when they do that, so i think that they're one of the class acts in retailing, and they have been for a long time. >> j.c. penney, not only on fire today, it's actually -- i'm just realizing this. the best performing stock in retail over the past month. you know what number two and three are? dillard's and sears holdings. >> sears? >> what do you make of this run of -- i don't want to say troubled companies, but companies that certainly have had their issues. i wonder why they're so on fire. >> i'm not a fan of either dillard's or sears. >> sears is burning assets and bu -- selling assets and burning the -- dillard's has done a good job. they don't make bad investments in bad stories. they basicall

of the other retailers that uses 100% renewables in the stores, thinking of whole foods, staples, kohl's, walmart is at 4%. you're rewarding a company that's one of the worst actors when it comes to the environment. by the way, the context here is almost ten years ago in 2005, walmart made all these promises about what it was going to do to green the business model and failed on almost every indicator based on its own data. according to walmart's own data, it increased the carbon foot print since 2005 by 14%. even on its own terms, it fails all of the tests that the president is seeking in terms of his environmental goals. it fails on every single test. >> you know, this is briefly an issue in the primary between barack obama and hillary clinton. hillary clinton lived in arkansas when she was first lady of arkansas, sat on the board of walmart, and bill clinton defended her service saying it was the right thing for her to do. obama campaign responded by saying if they want to defend her service to one of the least environmentally friendly, least labor union friendly companies in the coun

retailer in the world, reports on thursday, along with a couple of other big names, jcpenney and kohl'sl, walmart, john deere, take 2 interactive, names that could get attention next week from traders on wall street. >> dom, i'm sure the folks on our desk will pay attention. cisco, macy's, deere, jcpenney, walmart. >> i'll take the first two. cisco is a large-cap tech name that really hasn't rallied, and chambers gets heat if the quarter isn't strong. also, macy's has really been doing best -- best job out of all the retailers i've been watching. last quarter was very strong. that bar set pretty high for them. they'll have to do very well to clear it. >> jim? >> we're pretty interested in the retail space, scott. we have to note that the first quarter is not the strongest quarter ever for a retailer, but we want to see macy's, walmart. and in particular, we want to see jcpenney. there's been a lot of life in this stock recently. we have a very small position. it's a speculative position. you know, if they can show some growth in same-store sales and importantly increased liquidity, we c

>> i don't have any retailers other than kohl's that will be better than the consensus estimate. walmart won't either. i think it was a tough quarter for all of them. >> why? >> primarily the weather but the consumer is just starting to come back. the fourth quarter was very tough. >> walmart talked about a change in food stamps as well hurting them, no? >> right. they're very concerned about the low-end consumer. i personally think the low-end consumer as well as the consumer is getting better. the amount of disposable income is starting to pick up. other than the food stamp issue which is more directed to walmart and the dollar stores than it is any of the rest of the players, most things are getting better. even employment is getting better. it may be anemic but it's better than last year. i think we'll have a strong end of the year. >> you'd buy shares walmart. >> yes. they're moving into the omni channel retail space, same place that macy's is and nordstrom is. they have the biggest online business in the country outside of amazon and they're growing it faster than amazon is

we have kohl's and dillard before the bell. after the bell, jcpenney and nordstrom. the september of 11 memorial museum begins at 10:00 this morning. this is a live shot. president obama will speak at the ceremony. it is been overwhelming. i just spoke to caroline hyde about this in london. in front, the memorial has been out for two years. michael mckee and i wear there the day president obama and president bush and the first quietlyalk lightly -- around it. the gorgeous waterfalls. they're deeply moving. in the background is the new museum. >> it is a little hard as he from that picture, but those waterfalls just fall down into the ground. that notion of the world trade center's coming down, falling down from all the people in there, so it is a dramatic moment coming. go. >> what else do we have? >> janet yellen will be speaking at 7:00 this evening at the chamber of commerce. >> will shift chicken, beef, or fish? >> i'm guessing with chicken. >> i don't think that is a request and. >> let's get a data check. is, 1.30ook where it 657. all of this correlated to the

john: a entrepreneurship but kohl's successes.in decline in america because we offer this, we have this safety net. we don't like failure, we got this thing to fall back on so why take the risk in the first place? john: that may be a trend but i am wrong about so many assumptions i assumed when businesses are being started by young people that turns out it is our age group that starts the most businesses. all kinds of weird day. stuart: all the people we have on this show with bright good ideas -- john: good ideas are from young people. i'm talking number of ideas. stuart: have you had a good idea recently at your advanced age? john: the stossel show. at 9:00 eastern. stuart: 9:00 eastern shark, it is called stossel landed is from the fox business network. stuart: that is all true. check the big board. a record close, only a few points away from it. please look at 3 am on track to finish at an all-time high, very interesting, $140 a share. here is what is next, something a little different in a halftime report from the nfl, seahaw

it's absolutely correct, and i was at all those meetings on almost all those meetings with helmut kohl. when yeltsin told him very clearly, yes, we need russia first with the nato to avoid the commotion, to avoid all those difficulties. so that was our concert, russia first. and that's why we were against speedy or hasty, as we called it, expansion or joining by poland of nato. so my formula and the yeltsin forum at that time was yes to partnership with nato, fundamental, strategic partnership, and no to hasty enlargement because we were fearful that we would be left alone, you know, left in the cold. so we wanted -- but the problem of russian nato is of course much more difficult with all due respect down the problem of other countries in eastern europe, including ukraine even, and george. the problem is that rush is a nuclear superpower. it was nuclear superpower and it is still nuclear superpower. we are still targeted by russian missiles even as we speak. that's very important point, and went -- >> by u.s. missiles? >> when we are speaking now -- >> i am targeted by my own missiles

few regulations most having to do with capping carbon outputs by various people producing energy, kohl -- and that sort of thing. it is rife with suggestions. and someone i know who follows this says the original report was so big your computer alerted you when you clicked on it to download it this is a huge file. it is a lot and wide and a lot of things coming from executive branch and nothing from the legislative branch. >> here is talk from yesterday: >> i think particular if you are want to try to side with the polluters and argue to the american public that climate change isn't happening today, tomorrow, and certainly in the future that is going to be a loosing argument. >> and he said republicans have zero percentage chance of stopping this. do they? >> of course they have a 0% chance because they are doing this all through regulatory efforts and the executive branch. there is no political coalition for president obama on this. he is not going to get any republicans because as it was said they will not take any unnecessarily writers like trying to take the republicans who get the

we get earnings from walmart, kohl's and jcpenney. anthony chan is with us this morning.n we look at the inflation number this morning, what do you think it will tell us and how will it need into the fed's thoughts? >> i do think inflation will pick up a little bit. we can see a year-over-year inflation rate that will be closer to 2%, given the base effects on a year-over-year basis. we saw the producer price index the day before. that came in hotter than the market was expect. we are going to see inflationary pressures picking up just like we'll see economic growth in the second quarter. we'll be able to get rid of the problems that everybody is worried about, namely the treasury-year-olds coming down. when you see economic growth accelerating by 3% or more, my research finds that treasury-year-olds go up by about 34 basis points when the acceleration in growth occurs and another 11 basis points. >> you think this drop down in yield is unwarranted? >> i think it's unwarranted. historically going back to 1990 when you see an acceleration of growth, remember after the revi
