>> unilever has been a laggard this year. it's probably not sexy but i think it will get sexy.nd i think that it's quality brands, its very strong distribution but their focus is on emerging markets. and that positions them well in the long term for superior top-line growth. that faltered this year. only put up 3% organic growth. i think you're positioned well over the next couple years to 5% to 7% growth. as that maps, i think you have a re-rating of the stock. >> you know they're our neighbor, right? >> yes, i did. >> just making sure. jon. >> moulson coors, all they're doing is knocking the cover off the ball, up 35% year to date. you want to get sexy? that gets sexy real quick when you're up 35%. >> nothing says sexy like costco. right? i mean, when you think sexy, you think -- i'll tell you what does make you think sexy, though, making money. you take a look at this stock, all they do is make money. >> you notice i just looked at you. >> i felt the look. >> i don't know what the look was. >> when you make money, it's sexy. these guys are making money and that stock is righ

i like unilever, buying that and that speaks to her kind of defensive call. then also royal dutch shell has a lot of exposure in europe. which is very attractive for the long term. >> the call on the european banks? >> it's a good call. i talked about the eufn on the show as a way to get the bank index of european banks. she wants to get more specific looking at countries like italy you could do that. but i think to me, the european small caps are the best play. she mentioned something that i think is the key point. we have no idea whether or not qe will actually do anything for european economies. because quite frankly they don't have an issue with high yields and banks aren't lending anyway flushing them with cash the same issue we had here. we know qe tends to throw a party in the stock market and the way that manifests itself in the united states with a russell 2,000 that absolutely exploded. so i think if you're looking for anything at all similar, the way to play that is european small. you have a lot of different ways you can do it these days. >> i wou

so we buy unilever instead of unilever in nigeria or india. so, yes, there are plenty of opportunities in the u.s. to get the growth as well as the stability. so i wouldn't count it out. >> but you're still -- you have other penal at your firm that might do that. they still want you to go and find other opportunities around the world. is that fair to say? >> oh, yeah, definitely. i was in china this last week and we were looking at companies there. there are many, many opportunities. it's just incredible. it's mind boggling to see what's happening in china. then the week before that, i was in dubai again. it's not just multi nationals. the other companies are doing very well. the local companies are now beginning to buy assets in america and all over developed countries. so you're getting this kind of synergy. the best example is tata motors for jaguar and land rover. they've got their own car in india. you have these types of things taking place. >> can you just comment, i don't know how much it matters, but just on the monetary. the central
