Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Full Money.

Welcome to Motley Full Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Hill, joining me in studio this week for Motley Full Inside Value Joe Mager

and for Million Dollar Portfolio, Charlie Travers and Ron Gross.

Good to see you guys. How did they do it?

We've got the latest on the housing industry, the video game industry and the Google industry.

It's a little unfortunate. Our man James Early is not here because some stocks are increasing their dividends through the roof.

And as always, we've got a few stocks on our radar.

But we begin today with the world's biggest retailer, Walmart's fourth quarter earnings came in higher than expected this week.

The company also raised its annual dividend 18%.

Shares up, Charlie. I mean, Walmart kind of getting it done lately.

Yeah, they share our Chris. 2012 was a good year for Walmart.

And this is a company that struggled for a couple years coming out of the financial crisis with, I think, eight consecutive quarters of negative same-store sales.

But last year, even though the retail environment was tough for a lot of different companies, Walmart came through with 5% sales growth.

They even showed domestic growth to back up what their international sales were, which has always been a strong point for the company.

They did that through having an aggressive pricing model, which is typical for the company delivered a lot of value to their customers.

And they were taking share. So, all in all, it's a good year for Walmart.

Prophets were up 10%. And they forecasted for mid-single-digit growth in 2013 as well.

Yeah, Joe, a couple of years ago, it seemed like they were sort of floundering around with different strategies trying to mount for six, 12 months at a time.

And now it really seems like they've got their footing.

Yes. I don't know that they've got all that figured out yet. You never know when that might change.
