nicole petallides standing by in the stock exchange, taken out of the wood shed. nicole: talk day, the company itself coming out with numbers and the holiday season was tucker than they expected. demand was weaker than expected with these results, you're seeing stock kinking, down 16% not feeling confident, so you can see under significant pressure. i put this on my facebook page earlier this morning, someone said coach is out. you can say is directly correlated but when you look at michael corazon for one year it is up 84% while coach over 52 weeks is lower. that really shows the divergence between the two companies, and one other thing coach noted was competition and some of the rivals have been discounting their handbags which cuts into coach's sales. cheryl: thank you very much. coach is the stock to watch. a flu shot may cost you $30 at a local pharmacy but the epidemic currently slamming 47 state could cost one u.s. company as much as $100 million a inhumane own shares of this company. liz claman is in davos, switzerland at the world economic forum. liz: a lo

nicole petallides is watching banks who reported earnings this morning. le. >> as we look at citigroup and bank of america you see some down arrows here. disappointing numbers. you remember when citigroup used to be a dow component. i can tell you bank of america is the worst performing percentage loser on the dow jones industrials after a great year in 2012 where it was the top performer on the dow. let's focus what is going on here. so the bank stocks are weak overall. all the bank stocks moved to the downside. even goldman sachs and jpmorgan which hit 52-week highs. when we talk about bank of america, earnings per share beat the street. revenue was a miss. not good news for emthis. mortgage related charges hurting bank of america's fourth quarter profits. so that was not good news there. when we talk about citigroup, the new ceo michael corbett, talking about they're not satisfied with their quarterly report either. hoping for better in the future quarters to come. but you see citigroup down to 40.99. back to you. melissa: nicole, thanks so much. lori:
