Also, Ford has just doubled its dividend not long after reinstating it, and we hear why this is a great sign for the company. And finally, the guys discuss two retailers that are struggling after weak earnings over the holidays, and what the difference is between a retailer that's cheap at the moment versus one that is truly in trouble.
