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

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to the show. Thanks for being here. I'm your host, Chris Helen.

I'm joined by Motley Fool, Senior Analyst, Seth Jason, James Early, and Shannon Zimmerman.

Guys, good to see you. Good to see you, Chris.

On this week's show, Android is gaining on the iPhone. Google has a new deal in China.

And that definitely affected their results. And Gap came in below expectations.

Seth Jason, obviously a lot of retail numbers there. What's your headline?

And sales at a lot of stores, even the ones that dropped like American Eagle.

I believe it a 1% comparable store sales drop.

We're still better than I expected. However, the thing to watch for if you're interested

in any of these retail stocks is told a microcosm is Abercrombie.
