AT&T's year-to-date stock performance.

AT&T: "No, you're going to have to hold off on T, because I do think that they have so much capital spending that they have to do and right now I don't like AT&T or Verizon. They have to refinance, they've got a lot of problems, they have too much bonds. Just trust me, they are not necessarily the right stocks unless rates go down."
