and you like what marissa mayer is doing and she celebrated her one-year anniversary.ke yahoo! at 27? >> no, actually i'd rather own google. and the grosse pointe is goicom- down to 3% the next three years, but normally see the growth driver there for yahoo! and i think that google has them beaten hands down so i prefer google here over yahoo! if i was going to have to pick a search company. stuart: stay there, i've got more big names to go through as we start the trading session. here is bank of america, it's another bank doing well and made profits just like goldman sachs and citi. the stock price, nicole. nicole: the stock is up over 1%. they did well with global marketing and improved their credit quality though they did say as they're seeing long-term rates on the rise, they expect fewer mortgages and a lot of those come from refinancing and a majority come from refinancing and expect to see less of that. >> b of a gets you 14 right now. take a look at tesla, a big drop yesterday after goldman dropped the price together to 84 a share and that's well below the curr

. >>> today marks the first anniversary of marissa mayer moving into the ceo office at yahoo!.ad a busy year. yahoo!has bought 17 companies since mayer moved over from google. that includes the $1.1 billion deal for tumbler. >>> the city is trying to get more people to use two wheels instoed of four. in order to help that along, the city wants more backing spaces. they are proposing one bike spot for units. >>> want to check in with sal. apparently we're getting word of a new crash in san francisco. >> that's right. southbound 101 in the right hand near cesar chavez. there's something in the lanes making traffic heavy on southbound one. usually what happens here -- southbound 101. usually what happens here, this backs up the traffic coming off the bay bridge. that will make it heavier getting into san francisco. right now the traffic is backed you for a 30-minute delay before you make it on the span. we've been talking about the drive time between 238 and mowry avenue. it is pretty slow. 36 minutes. remember, normal time with no traffic is about half of that. this is because of

the highest ranking woman, marissa mayer earning $36.6 million last year.ie. >> how do they justify this? how does oracle say $96.2 million is a fair price for larry ellison despite the fact that our shares are down 22%? >> there is no justification. this is just a process that's hijacked by ceos much more powerful than the compensation committee. i think it's outrageous. ellison's done nothing for you, nothing. >> how did the board come at these prices? most of us, we go to h.r., we get a deal of some kind. we have a compensation committee and board of directors that come up with a number. how do they arrive at it? >> they look at what other ceos are making in the industry and say, you know, we should aware our ceo the same thing. and in ellison's case, he founded the company. i think there's a great affinity between the board members and ellison. this is one that i think was just insane, frankly. i was shocked to see that he was the leader. i mean, he has been -- say he has just been horrendous for shareholders. >> if i'm a shareholder or an average worke

we have seen in some of these recent numbers, is that you take a look at the returns say that marissa mayer into the ranks. to have a woman that has contributed not by the rise in the stock market, her presence and her performance, the stock jumped up 30%. i think it is fantastic. the things she has done in the midst of laying off very painfully about 1,000 people and without a mean macho she is learning and taught us how to be persuasive without being cruel and making it tough without being abusive and she is the tumbler acquisition has been very successful. flicker since they brought it in is up 40%. the website usage is up dramatically, 25%. she redesigned the website. she deserves the rewards for that as the dan loeb on the board and others having the wisdom to bring her in. it is very performance based. >> i totally agree that turn around ceos that actually take actions and raise performance deserve it. there are an awful lot of people on that list who are not doing turn arounds, who have had trouble keeping the company share price let alone performance up. >> that's why i agree with y

beating the nickels, but the marissa mayers beating it. >> this is a good thing except for programmatic, which means we will suck the margins out of display ads and not make as much money -- and remember, it is and a advertising business and remember that programmatic is the algorithms to place the ads at the cheapest place and shows inventory to use against and companies don't have the good gross margins when it comes to programmatic, because it does not say that we will pick up the sales people, and have a tangeray and tonic, but it is coming up in the cue, and when it comes up, it is going to come up, and it is difficult for marisa to make money quarter over quarter. >> well, it is because alibaba is incredibly strong and got some insight there, and that is the ipo that every bank is waiting for and licking the chops over and desperately trying to get the lead und underwriter on if they do in fact, and who knows where they will list, because they have not decided yet, but that could be a year-h end event. but -- >> alibaba. >> what is the plan, and use the alibaba in japan with the s

and marissa mayers, and last year they didn't know about the mobile, and this conference call is about, amazing that they said they weren't thinking mobile, and we were behind -- well, what were they thinking? this is a quarter that a lot of companies that did not understand that the cloud was moving quickly, and people didn't understand that mobile was quickly and i felt terrible for intel, because they missed basically the internet backbone, and they missed the tablet, they missed the cell phone, and they caught michael dell and the pc. well, just terrific. it is retro tech and paleo czoi and meanwhile it is seratops. >> did they have pcs then? >> well, when they scrapped the microprocessors and decided to go into the 286 and everybody laughed at them and the stock was killed, and they were vanguard and this is -- listen guys, we missed it. how did they miss it? what do you carry in the pocket? how do you miss it and what do you live by? you live by this? you are the only guy who carries this, because i have carpal tunnel. >> and stacy smith is a -- >> nice man. >> on closing bell ye

mayer. >>> in the days since george zimmerman's acquittal, attention has refocused on another florida case with a much different outcome. in 2010, marissaed a gunshot into a wall during an argument with her husband. alexander said her husband, who had a history of domestic violence, was assaulting her, and it was a warning shot. no one was hurt. but alexander was charged with three counts of aggravated assault. a judge denied her stand your ground claim, and alexander was sent to prison for 20 years. here is what she says about the incident. >> i believe when he threatened to kill me, that's what he was going to do. that's exactly what he intended to do. and had i not discharged my weapon at that point, i would not be here. this isn't my life i'm fighting for. this is my life and it's my life, and it's not entertainment. it is my life. >> 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot. but a man who killed an unarmed 17-year-old walks free. joining me now is kevin coban, and joy reid, and msnbc contributor who covered the story of marissa alexander. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> kevin, your client is severing
