macy's or jc penney? >> dump. >> macy's or jc penney?se macy's always has been flagged as the executer. jc penney, maybe not so much, in the midst of some sort of transformation. >> i'll probably be the lone standout, but jc penney -- and i remember the day, the day it collapsed down to 13 and change, what was monster volume and i said it feels like the washout day in jc penney. the company's still broke, but the stock feels like it might run. now here we are some $5 later and that's exactly what it's done. although i think macy's is a far better company clearly, i think the beta trade still goes to jcp. >> macy's trading and a valuation also if you look at forward numbers 12 times which is not expensive relative to its recent history. >>> next, they are the media company shaking up the status quo. we are getting ready to reveal the disrupter 50. >>> first, the usda is saying it's going to be a bumper crop for corn this year, but you've got to sow it to reap it. our jane wells is up next with the update. jane. >> melissa, we're once agai

when you lose sales at jc penney you tend to be going to macy's. let's not -- we can't slight lundgren. he's done a fabulous, omni channel 360 fantastic job and he's revitalized this chain and it's a remarkable performance by this man and spent 2.2, so not quite through more or less yesterday. shrinking a cap and certainly does have a positive impact on that earnings per share number when you have fewer shares. >> right. macy's is again that kind of defines this moment. a higher dividend and the buyback. that makes it so that you're getting tight flow. the amount of shares being retired here at this moment is remarkable. this is the common equity shortage. brings us to citi upping gap, as well. >> i was surprised that gap came back, and the stock traded 41, 42 and came back. urban outfitters will have a very good quarter. i continue to believe that williams-sonoma is doing fabulously. you go to the mall and see a lot of opportunity to buy stocks. it's a lot of stocks that are doing well. look, j.c. penney is a stock that's doing well even though i

the macy's should have the shadow limit written back in. but what's happened in 1989 the shadow for this park was 2 hundred and 90 feet shadow hours now you're going down to minus seven hundred and 67 because of the three projects. the transit center increase and in this promise. so if you approve this project your minus down 6 hundred and 60 thousand. to do that you need a very strong factual record to show you've seen what this will cause. the - those are abstract principles applied to the park. there's no stud of how those proximateize change by decreasing the use of padding them in the sunlight areas. so, so without bridging the gap of impact you don't have the factual report of what you decided in 1989. while you probably have the legal authority to change the criteria this no right has to be exercised without abusing our authority. i have a bunch of documents i want to submit to you including the calculations including the inclusion of macy's and that number is a little bit less than it's minus 34 hundred and 67 - >> sir, your time is

it sort of brings to mind ma maybe apple and google, jcpenney and macy's. not obviously direct comparisons for the obvious reasons but if you had money coming out of, say, apple and going into google, helping that stock get a nice boost and now maybe you've had money coming out of jcpenney and going into macy's, that could reverse itself at some point. isn't that something to keep a sharp eye on? >> very much so. what the world of retail looks at is how does same store sale look? watch the traffic. the one thing you can never tell is you can't see it from going in the store, what's everyone doing online. everyone is online as a percentage of sales is increasing. and certainly we're going to be watching that closely. >> dana, real quick. is there a name that you would absolutely avoid right now in the retail space? >> i think it's interesting some of the names out there where there has been issues. there's issues t at b and b and getting their product right. issues at guess, whether it's europe or adjusting the opening price points. and we need to see kohl's

meanwhile, macy's stole the show. the company had higher first quarter sales and raised its dividend by 25%. analysts say macy's has snagged customers from struggling competitors. macy's stock rallied more than a dollar. it's official: united airlines passengers will board for take- off on a dreamliner monday. the 787s have been grounded since mid-january due to battery overheating. a fix has been made. the chicago tribune reports the airline's cfo says he will be on the first flight since the dreamliners were banned from flying. when it comes to the controversial topic of climate change, insurance companies are siding with science. according to a new report in the new york times, from superstorm sandy to devastating droughts, many insurance giants believe climate change is a growing disaster threat. however, the times reports the industry has stayed on the sidelines when it comes to policy change. insurance claims for dog bites are "pawsing." state farm insurance reports claims fell by 1.4% last year, the first decli

we have macy's, starbucks, google and mastercard. they are all part of this today. we had banks looking very strong as well. bank of america, citigroup, goldman sachs, wells fargo, those names are all moving higher. analysts that we spoke with say there is no fundamental reason for today's move other than good old fashioned momentum. we are not going to say it was our interview.

it could hurt macy's a little bit. a 52-week high in gmcr, or tesla, or first solar, that's one thing, because they have such a huge short interest. i want to be a buyer in this, but i want to be a buyer on a pullback, not buying the 52-week high. so i want to get in at around $45, $45.30. i'll have a stop under $41. so, hopefully does pull back on earnings a little bit, then i will jump in to the long side. - thank you, and have a great trading day. - thank you. that's it for today. coming up tomorrow, ivy league universities are selling positions in treasuries. what average investors can learn from that move. from all of us at first business, make it a good monday. >> announcer: the following is a paid presentation for hip hop abs brought to you by beachbody. pay close attention! don't miss your chance to save 75% off hip hop abs. if you're looking to shed the fat... >> in the first week, i lost 12 pounds. >> announcer: a way to flatten and sculpt your core... >> you're hitting every part of your abs. >> announcer: a

macy was a 19-year-old aspiring artist who had just been drafted to fight the nazi's.im. they had a mission. to deceive the forces to thinking the allies were in one location while u.s. troops were miles away. their weapons were decoy sherman tanks that the nazi's picked them up. >> reporter: the nazi's picked that up? >> we think so. >> reporter: they became known as the ghost army. a thousand artists, designers, and audio technicians using sights and sounds to dupe the enemy. did you actually take incoming? >> yeah, we took incoming. we did have casualties. there weren't many, but there were casualties. >> reporter: the existence of the ghost army remained classified for more than half a century after the war. to this day, little is known of these artist warriors. but filmmaker rick beyer hopes to change that with a new documentary called "ghost army." >> this is just like so out of left field, you know. you want to preserve that. you want to preserve the quirkiness so that people understand the range of what world war ii in involved. >> reporter: many of this band o

at the parking deck of the macy's of the westfield much emery mall -- montgomery mall, which is under construction at the moment. the second floor, the third floor, the big beam on top came down suddenly like this, landing, trapping the two workers. the deck behind me, one of the workers alive, still trapped inside. it was just before 2:00, 20 workers were on the second story of this parking deck under construction at westfield much emery mall. for some reason, a huge slab of concrete from the third floor came down. a 50,000 pound beam. this person works at the macy's next door to the parking deck. >> very dangerous with people getting trapped. i hope he is out all right. >> it will take an effort by an army of rescue workers to get them out. they had to shore up the fallen beam. by the time they got to the two men, one of them was dead. this person was in her car 30 feet from the deck when she heard the crash. >> it is scary, because i don't come here daily. , and in this happened had parked right there. and now it is blocked off. , there isou wonder the saying that you never know wi

wal-mart, macy's, nord strom, tiffany. >> the discounters continue to do quite well. people are shopping for basic items, grocery related household it items. we continue to see that. last week costco reported sales numbers that were quite good yet again. we think wal-mart and target will sound pretty solid. >> and a couple of stocks that you are recommending to investors to buy. tell us about best buy, whole foods and pet smart all different kinds of companies. why do you like them? >> best buy is a turn around story. everybody left best buy for dead thinking amazon was going to take over. the company has been on a big effort to cut costs. they have brought down prices on their products so they are a married with anybody on the internet. you have the dynamic where tax collection for internet sales is being pushed on the states. where it is happening you are seeing sales trends at best buy pick up a little bit. if you can get more sales through the door at best buy and attract those customers with prices that are at marripa paro a name like pet smart or whole foods the

>> macy's is the odds on favorite to win the cup, yes.on of apparel. >> what's the key here, is to make sure that it's the same brand in store, online. i mean, is that the key? >> i think that is the key. and what macy's is doing is they are essentially using stores as distribution centers for some of their online sales. by the end of this year, they are going to have 500 stores that are going to be filling online orders in addition to the distribution center for online sales. that should help them with full-price sales. it's actually even helping some of the smaller stores that can now have more inventory because there's less risk because they can ship them online in a transition seamless to the consumer. so, they're executing on everything they should be doing. and as i say, i think they are the odds on favorite to win the cup. >> okay, and you've increased your price target to $56 from $50. thanks, rick snyder, retail specialist at maxim group. just to remind you where we are falling right now, just below fair value is where futures st

macy's earned $21miion a share. sales up 4% to nearly $6.4 billion. the company also raised its dividend a nickel to 25 cents and said it's going to buy back $1.5 billion worth of its shares. shares up 2.5%. to close at $48.57. meanwhile, shares of bristol meyer squibbs are running up to the 52-week high, after a release for the experimental can certain drug. it was the performer in the s&p, up $45 and shares on a tear over the past year up more than 30%. >>> sun power shares were another bright spot today on wall street. the nation's second largest solar panel maker said its profits and sales for the rest of the year would be above wall street estimates. it rose 8.5% to close at $20.65 and up more than 300% in the past year. and that helped lift many of the companies in the solar space, all up strongly with the exception of the biggest one, first solar. >>> but a weak outlook overshadowed better than expected numbers from deere and company. they earned $1 billion in the second quarter on a 9% rise in sales, totalme in at nearly $11 billion. but deere

mark segraves, thank you. >>> this is near the macy's and the popular food court. this mall has been open throughout this rescue operation. >> tom sherwood was actually the first reporter on the scene of the collapse. he continues our live coverage with reaction from one woman who was near that garage just minutes before the collapse. tom? >> reporter: pat, this was a typical preholiday crowd here at the mall. people were coming and going as usual, but suddenly police and rescue squads screamed to the site. police were blocking off whole sections of parking near macy's. shoppers scattered. one shopper described the scene. >> i heard a loud sound. i just stopped because it was pretty loud, to see what was going on. i didn't realize that it was the parking garage that had collapsed. i would say like a really loud bomb or just a really loud bang. that's why i stopped because i wasn't sure what it was. i didn't know, did a bomb go off? i had parked right there where now it's blocked off. it makes you wonder there's that saying where you never know what's going to happe

macy's reporting on wednesday, walmart, jcpenney kohl's nordstrom on wednesday.'s take your position. tom, pleasure to speak with you. >> good to be here. >> what are you anticipating because already in terms of the data points we have gotten, it's been a mixed bag and a lot of the retailers seem to be impacted by the weird weather that we've seen. >> certainly weather's been a problem in the first quarter. but i think the problems transcend the weather. the hard lines guys aren't doing that well either and i think the fact of the matter is people are paying more for taxes, and as there's more money coming out of their pocketbook it's got to come from somewhere and retail spending is part of that. >> so, how do you extrapolate that? are there certain parts of the demographic you think are being hit harder because of the payroll tax hikes, so therefore, there are kinds of retailers that could see some weakness? >> well i think the higher end in general is now beginning to feel some impact where there hadn't been that much at the higher end. i think you are startin

macy's did well because it's the middle group.can figure they he probably get the lower end shoppers so this is just like what macy's said yesterday. stuart: you're right, nicole, i'm indeed a lower end shopper the at wal-mart. no -- and thank you, nicole. to ed butowsky joining us from dallas. we're asking all about money managers this week and the same question, stocks are rallying, in my opinion, in part because of scandal, creating gridlock, wall street loves gridlock, stocks go up. what do you say? >> well, i'm not going to follow to the same fate of larry and never be back on, i'll agree partially. now what? gridlock is a good thing and especially what is out there is something that can negatively impact the economy and most of what is being proposed these days is not something that's good for the economy. so, that part of it is correct. at the same time to add on to that, earnings are what drives stock prices and right now, again, stocks are undervalued, not as much as they used to be because the market moved up, but earnin

macy's of course, don't forget, bloomingdale's is under the macy's umbrella, and one of my favorite placesll disclosure. since you disclosed your john deere tractor, i shop at bloomingdale's. david higher, 25% to the upside, announcing 1.5 billion dollar increases of share buy-back and all this have good news, stuart and putting the merchandise towards local tastes and that's something they've done differently. and they're teaching the staff to be more engaging with the customers and the merchandise, here, buy u you go to the malls and there are a couple of anchor stores, one may be macy's and one may be j.c. penney's, if j.c. penney is turning people then-- i'm banned from malls, and-- let's go to the 7 early movers. start with moody's, it's cut merck's credit ratings by share buyback by merck. and we just talked to an analyst who said that apple shares are going to go down to 240. they're down today. down almost $7 at 436. hsbc is going to cut, what, 14,000 jobs and trying to save 3 billion dollars. the market likes it, up just a fraction, that's it. boeing is going to resume deliveries

the garage was next to the food court and macy's. there are traffic problems around the mall. westlake drive is closed off. we have team coverage on all this tonight. we begin with news4's mark segraves. mark? >> reporter: doreen, we are just getting word now, i think you can probably hear the ambulance in the background, we're just getting word now that that lone survivor who was trapped has been freed and he is being rushed to a hospital. we believe that he's in this ambulance that you're seeing leaving right now here from the scene. so now this situation here turns from a rescue operation, now the work will turn to keeping this structure safe. it all started just after 1:00 this afternoon in the parking garage behind montgomery mall right here next to the macy's department store. when firefighters arrived on the scene, they found two men trapped underneath more than 50,000 pounds of rubble and debris. >> we're developing a plan to stabilize the collapsed area first in order to make it safe for the rescue to take place. >> reporter: a shock trauma team was blown in by helico

a lot of students when this collapse happened near the food court at the mall and the macy's. tom sherwood live with reaction from a man now who was having lunch at the time when this commotion started. tom? >> reporter: jim, first we're here on westlake drive, that's next to the mall on the macy's side. this road is closed. but much of the parking lot has cleared out. police are letting cars leave. shoppers and onlookers are still stunned by what happened here. >> i was grabbing something to eat over at five guys. i heard all the sirens, i came over here and there are news helicopters, medevac. i heard somebody say that they heard a loud crash, metal on metal, something like that. i talked to a construction worker early on who was standing out there, hispanic gentleman, and he -- i said how many people hurt? he said one person is dead and somebody else is trapped or something and that was a couple hours ago. >> reporter: and you're waiting to see what happened like we all are. >> yeah, just curious. >> reporter: again, the mall is open but people are being told to avoid this

let's talk about macy's. the stock is up nearly 2%. it is that 48, 32.ve therefore macy's. they raised their dividend 25%. they are hitting a new high. really good news there. despite having uncooperative weather, they have done very well at macy's overall. they have been merchandising to local areas. citigroup upgraded to a buy rating from a neutral. connell: one of our favorite segments of the week. a lot of people think of the ipad as an entertainment service. dagen: watch "game of thrones" until it is troubling. while mossberg is here. you look at a number of these and you put all of these apps do the same test. >> i did. i have to say, i do also watch "game of thrones" i'm not ipad. that is the beauty of it. i wrote my entire column this week on an ipad. i really wrote this column partly because i got tired of seeing wall street analysts who constantly call the ipad and other tablets media consumption devices. there is nothing wrong with that. we like to consume media, but there are huge numbers of productivity apps in that app store. microsoft does

dsw's a self-service model, and they convinced all the brands that sell to macy's or nordstrom to selle think they're going to take major share. liz: since you picked it in 2012, it's up 55%, year-over-year up about 25%. let's get to your next name, and when you look at, say, for example, what to pick, i'm pushing you on criteria. you said a business model. what else? do you look at management? does that matter to you? >> management matters, but, again, it's a differentiated business model. i go back to apparel. if you want apparel, go to a fast fashion retailer like an h&m. you can go to a discounter like tj max or raw stores. so what is a company doing that can't be replicated? liz: you said going to accessories, and fossil is a classic company you really like right now. why? >> i love fossil. what fossil doesn't get credit for is that people focus on watches and are watches going to continue to grow on top of already good numbers. but what fossil is at its core, it's a global distribution company. they manufacture the watches, and they built their infrastructure in europe, the u.s.

let me ass john macy, let's drill down on the etails. mechanism at least in part from what i'm reading they prevented, the oil companies involved prevented others from participating in the price process. which distorted the published price. so they kept others out so that those who called in, reported, hey, we sold this many barrels for this amount of money today, they tried to keep other guys out, there were fewer and just them and they would have more control. is that believable if that is the extent of it? we're looking on the screen those who are accused in participating in that? >> i absolutely agree with john on his big point opec is the real culprit here. but that doesn't mean these other folks are innocent and doesn't mean that our jails are not filled with people who have engaged in financial crime including price fixing. it is inconceivable it occurs but it does occur. let's take a look at the way platts actually figures this stuff out. melissa: yeah. >> so it's a bizarre system that make the libor system for figuring out adjus

if you are downtown in an office building or shopping at macy's, do you run in the middle of the streetno. you stay where you are. how much time do you have? seconds. you have to make a decision within seconds. if you run to the street what will happen? >> get hit by a car. you have windows, glass to fall on you. high rise. if you know where you are, stay there than to go somewhere you don't know what's there. once it's shaking between 30 seconds to a minute and once it's over, things will fall and tip over. give it time to move around. of course, if there is danger coming to you, you want to move. so, picture these buildings. against the wall. will i go behind this wall? lean against it, cover my head? no. the pictures frames. if they come off and hit me on the top of the head, more injuries. be aware of that target. look behind you before you lean against the wall. sometimes wrong place at the wrong time there is no way to get down this way. try to find a [inaudible] place if you can. get next to something that's sturdy that will block up against you. how much time do you have? short.
