stuart: wal-mart taking a shot at amazon, maybe teaming up with lord &taylor. sica, what do you think about this, seems to me that wal-mart is the competition for amazon, period? >> wal-mart is the king of brick and mortar, they do own that sector. the one thing that's evident to them, they have been playing catch-up with amazon. they have not been the lead on this but they are beginning to learn partnering with luxury brands or brands in particular that have a certain level of success makes perfect sense for wal-mart because keep in mind, once wal-mart is able to -- is able to enhance these -- this branding-type strategy, they have one of the biggest trucking fleets in the entire country. they can begin to execute on delivery and going to price competition, so amazon is the king, but -- but wal-mart is making some strides and i'm very happy. i think they are finally learning. stuart: i see the stock this morning premarket getting close to $87 a share now. not too long ago it was around 70, 72, 73 and then as start to respond to amazon, right now it's 86.69. >>

stuart: kind of lukewarm i thought there. kind of lukewarm. let me go through candidates here. first of all, candidate taylorylor, the word from the market is if he were to be the fed chair he would raise rates aggressively. brian: if he gets in the chair he moderates views a little bit because it's much tougher to make real decisions in real-time. stuart: jarome powell. brian: more like a yellen. stuart: janet yellen? brian: she's status quo. he's talking, maybe yellen, maybe powell. he doesn't want big change because he's looking real juice from the tax reform and not change in the fed. keep it steady, focus on fiscal policy tax reform. stuart: there wouldn't be a strong market reaction if janet yellen were confirmed for another term or mr. powell would confirm for term. brian: with taylor you would see a reaction but i do think the market would view him as somebody who might moderate in that chair. i don't see strong reactions either way with candidates. liz: it matters because the president has been tweeting about the stock market gains. stuart: that's right. that plays a role. i want to talk to you, liz
