nordstrom's rack, trader joes, peer one imports and a wells fargo a.t.m. as well as publico urban tacoria. they are formal retail tenants who have been there over 10 years. it has produced many dollars in sales revenues and employs over 400 people. it has been existing as i said over 10 years, well before the formula retail legislation and well before the eastern districts. what this legislation is really intended to do is just ratify what currently exists. there is no proposed change in use. there is no proposed alteration to any aspect of the center. it's just to keep what currently exists at the site. there has been some concern that this is really designed to bring in a big box retail tenant. that's not the intention in conversations with supervisor kim's office, the project has agreed to cap the limitation that a tenant up to 75,000 square feet, which is the current size of bed bath and beyond would not require a conditional use permit, but should a tenant exceed 75,000 square feet, that would trigger a conditional use permit which would require to co

and i bought nordstrom. nordstrom and macy's were both down on the print. great sales numbers. maybe expectation in macy's. >> grasso, you're on the floor today. that's giving some surge to the market. little bit any way. what are you doik? >> put it this way. as long as we stay above that 1370 level in the s&p, you could pr pretty much get a chimp to throw a dart and a dart board to buy anything because this market's going above 1400. it's almost that easy. >> right to brian tunic, on the fast line today. a specialty retail analyst at jpmorgan. were you as surprised at how strong the retail numbers were? >> definitely. i think we were trying to figure out the warm weather. the snowstorm in the northeast, so we had a pretty easy comparison there and again, we've been seeing the employment numbers and consumer confidence numbers whether that's trailing or lagging, we'll see. but it certainly seemed like the warm weather probably pulled 2 to 300 basis points out of march. >> there's no question there. the gap division has lost 25% of its sales over the past five years. they've gi

. >> current stores, like nordstrom rack, someone moves out of nordstrom rack or someone moves out of bed bath and beyond, they can go right into those spaces, as long as they're not expanding the current footprint is how i -- >> again, is it ok if i can try to explain again. >> i have a question for you, too. >> if it exceeds 75,000 square feet that, would trigger a conditional use permit. >> correct. >> if there was a combination of where a tenant would go beyond, say, 10,000 square feet , that would also trigger a conditional use permit or -- >> i guess the question i have is, would it address your purposes if the legislation allowed the site to exist as it is legally, so ratified that it is -- made it illegal -- a legal is setup presently and said that any change to that setup, meaning any consolidation or any expansion or contraction of space for that matter would require a conditional use. so any change to the status quo would require a conditional use. >> i was only trying to address some kind of materiality, like if wells fargo a.t.m. which is 75 square feet should vacate and

. >> walmart, target, nordstrom's, big stores will at least match the price. if you don't have the circular use red laser. i was in order strom's. my mom called and said bloomingdale's is having a 25% offhand bag sale. >> now we know where you get it. >> it's in my blood. i'm middle eastern. i said, i'm at nordstrom's. i brought it to the attention of the salesperson. she said, pick a handbag and we'll give you 25% off. that's the policy. >> next, dig the display. >> floor samples get dinged here and there. display items, whether it's luggage or furniture that's been out on the floor under heavy lights can be faded or has been used and touched by customers. that can earn you a discount. if you are willing to go with what's on display, suggest taking that and getting a 20% discount. >> and i imagine it's ho ee's h it's been there. >> close to the end of the season. >> she corey idrives a hard bar. up next, he makes women go mad on "mad men" but now jon hamm is teaming up with his real life partner in their new movie and lindsay lohan steals the spotlight on "sa

maybe nordstrom rack, marshall's and the tx max stores. they won't grow a lot more, but you are taking a look at something that got stretched. you can't continue to play the same tricks. >> that's what's interesting about it. the fundamentals come together. >> the options market comes together has well and one of the other things about that chart is it moved with small increments and had low volatility. the price is also very low. to make a bearish bet on an out right basis, i was looking at july and you can pay about about $1 for those. this is a situation where even if the market started to get more volatile and the stock flat lined, you won't see that much decay. that will lift the price generally. this is a way to risk relatively little. you give yourself a decent amount of time to play out. >> what do you think of the trade. >> where we are, the s&p is up and some of the stocks that have outperformed the market and they can't continue to go parabolic . that's the key. buying an out right put. if it starts going in your direction, they

i mean, today has got -- seattle has got microsoft, nordstrom's, starbucks, costco, amazon.com, a huge amount of biotech. it's an unbelievably thriving city. it's a model for what we want to look like in a global economy. that's happened in the last 30 years, i think that's a pilot, and something to look at, and try to see what can happen in seattle and how can other regions do that. in some cases people will point and say, it has to do with technology, i mean, microsoft is there, microsoft has driven a huge amount of innovation. so has amazon.com. the examples i like to point to in seattle are costco and starbucks. this is not high-tech. this is high skill maybe in terms of apprenticeship skill, and other workforce training programs and like that, but costco is employing right now 150,000 employees. and starbucks has got 140,000 employees, that's a lot of job creation in a nontech environment in seattle. r and so i think it's something to look at. i'll close by saying, i hope the governors will be very entrepreneurial themselves and we'll test some of of these ideas in the local state

i bet we hear the usual us expects, macy's, nordstroms doing well. here's who to watch, gap stores. they've moved up 41%. got upgraded again today. gap has the most on the line. it needs to maintain the same sales momentum if it's going to keep going high. and i saw a nifty khaki suit in banana republic this weekend, i saw it in the window. it would look good on me. and despite the holiday, the most important event of next week will be the last one. if we're going to keep up the momentum of first quarter, we absolutely need the employment number to continue expanding. i'm worried it's going to take a dip because of weakness in the drilling sector. courtesy of the sharp tumble of natural gas prices. we're not endorsing natural gas as a surface fuel in this country. and get america ipo, which will trade under rpai. it my be part of the facebook gamut. we made a great deal of money with federal reality, up 9% year over year and a point off its 52-week high. i don't mean to -- there won't be any more markups to propups so we need a rate cut from the chinese over the weekend and a robust
