trail 12-month basis at&t, exxon, ge, microsoft, chevron, j & j, pfizer, p & g, wells faro and philip morriss not surprising, but some of the by dividend yields were l brands, pit any bowes pep ko, and abbott labs. the bottomed line there are definitely a lot of companies that do pay dividends. these that we mentioned are some of the once analysts feel poised to go higher, because they allow that risk on the table, but offer a little protection because of the different payout, j & j just hitting an all-time high today. sue? >>> well tell you about one college basket all coach that just hit the jackpot. then we will be joined by an executive of liverpool's soccer club to talk about the big business of football. stay tuned. power is back in a minute. >>> talk about a pay raise? florida gulf coast coach andy enfield, who made $157,000, and won two games in the ncaa tournament as a 15 seed has been hired now by usc out in california. his new salary -- all the way now to over a million. it's good to win in the ncaa. >>> another athlete due for a by pay race. robinson cano, his new agent is none o

colgate, palmalolive and philip morris. >> right.t is you're taking equity risk but you're not taking equity risk all of the way out. slower growth, more volatile, deleveraging still environment, companies like that can eke out long h term returns for shareholders and deliver that with half, 75% of the risk of the broad equity markets. >> i understand that you like these names for the long term but staples have actually been one of the breast groups and it's one of most expensive sectors to own. are you concerned about valuation? >> well, it's a choice of what you would rather have. if you're trying to defend portfolios with some positioning, instead of being blind and buying all equities, you have a choice of putting in some bonds in your portfolio or taking a position of investing in some defensive equity assets. we think those defensive equity assets are more attractive than positioning in bonds at this point in time. so those tend to be more higher weight. you remember the ore there side of this story we're almost have no represe

documents and are part of a 1999 presentation to wall street investors that you pulled out from philip morrishelping busy consumers with an extensive lineup like caco bell dinner kits and lunchble us lunch combinations. we also know the number one question in america at 4:00 p.m. is not how did the market do today? it's what's for dinner and most consumers don't have a clue. >> it sounds like my wife eve and i in the evening. what's surprising to me is the fast food industry has moved into the grocery store. as the grocery manufacturers realize this is an entirely new market they could go after. suddenly shopping for groceries becomes much more problematic for us as we're trying to feed our kids something healthier for dinner. >> one reaction to this story line might be, well, you make the products, it's up to the open free market to decide whether it's going to buy it or not. >> and that's a good point. i don't view the industry as this evil empire that's set out to intentionally make us obese. the problem lies in their collective squeal to izeal to companies do. it's their own dependance on

before the bell, we'll get results from morgan stanley, pepsi, philip morris, united health, nokia and pea body energy. after the bell, it's google, ibm, microsoft, chipotle mexican grill. analysts expect profitable 1yu678ing to 57 cents a share after posting a loss over the same period last year for morgan stanley. matt joins us now as a bit of a revi review. matt, people will always compare morgan to others. what's your own feel? >> i think they're very similar to goldman and goldman is one of the best fixed income trading houses on the street, kelly. and the logic is if they had difficulty, probably morgan stanley will, as well. i expect them to beat on earnings and be light on revenues. i think this is a difficult quarter and i expect more volatility for the money centered banks. i think it's worth taking profits in them right now. they've had a great run, take some risks off the table, especially as we're entering a period of seasonal volatility. you don't like the money banks. you like some of the regionals, instead? >> right. the regionals are up on average, kelly, about 5% per

at&t, exxon, ge, microsoft, chevron, j&j, pfizer, p&g, wells fargo and philip morris. those names are not that surprising, but the top ten companies by dividend yield on a trailing 12-month basis were. ell brands, pitny bows, wynn resortses, garmin, entergy, altria and is abbot labs. this show opportunities exist in a range of sectors. some are likely to continue paying actidividends. interesting the fact set notes that since the dotcom bubble, the highest yielding stocks have outperformed the s&p 500. but the lowest yielding stocks have exhibited negative returns. and even more interesting is that low dividend yielding equities perform worse than those that don't pay a dividend at all. so when you're picking your dividend players, really important to be careful here, guys. >> yeah. it's interesting stuff, jackie. thanks for that. and the other thing is, what we need to do is compare that, kelly, with dividend payers versus those companies in the league of buying back their stocks. >> because that's another option. and we know buybacks have been so strong and at what p

philip morris, altria. i think people were trying to get in the second leg.as anticipated and we came out with the proxy in terms of the split and what would be on the publishing side and still a question as to whether mr. murdoch would try to acquire the l.a. times although there may be some cross ownership rules that prevent that from happening and the big media continues to be return of capital both through repurchase and dividends and you're talking as much as 10% of the overall market cap of these companies in one year being returned in both those forms. that's the story in media and that will continue to be the story until we get another wave of consolidation. >> so cbs, i have to admit i watch every game that i can watch and they run these ads that are like a stock ad. number one comedy. number one drama. number one new show. what is this? to get cbs to 55? is that what they appeal to? do they want the stock higher? >> yes. he's an economic animal, that man and he wants the stock higher, without a doubt, not that any ceo doesn't. >> number one commerci

shows you what i'm hearing, whether it be ebay, whether it be pm, philip morris -- because they're international. we are the place ha is doing well. versus everybody else. >> we'll talk about verizon in a moment. >>> not every company can be as domestic as verizon in terms of reven revenue. >> no. but housing is. the fact that domestic banks are doing a little better. pnc yesterday was pretty good. >>> we got downgrades of price target cut on fedex. yesterday was something similar on caterpillar. yesterday -- >> fedex, same time i liked u.p.s. there's -- kind of fedex maybe spent too much money on asia. if you shen too much money on asia you're not in good shape. i will come back, i will see you daniher and raise you cyprus senate. i will see you fedex and raise you sandisk. union pacific versus csx. there is an excuse issue. union pacific with a remarkable -- coal only down six. if you're involved with coal, you just got coal in your stocking. >> all right. but that's a stock picker's market you're describing. that's actually trying to discern which managements are doing a better job. >> yes wi

bank of america, citigroup trickling down recently and it's all about coke, mcdonald's, philip morrisd your favorite stock, jim, general mills and that's what it's been all about. a couple of things that i think is going on here. particularly material stocks and commodity stocks with china. china is don this year and even the hong kong market is down with the s&p 10%. copper is down 8%. they all seem to move with china. that's a major factor. number two, i think consumers -- >> traders are buying u.s. stocks and they're the place ways to be, but they want to buy in the ralliy and seek logically that does make sense. finally this goes into my them of the adp and so instead of people mae have 2% or 3% than we're seeing right now. that means buy defensive names right now. that's why we're in a defensive rally. >> you were talking about delta being disappointed? u.s. air came out with their numbers and the passenger revenues are flat for the month. that's a real disappointment again. this is the second one now that's been disappointing. they all were down yesterday and a flatter opening t
