Thursday, September 27, 2012, 12:12 AM "Here's a pot of money, go shop."

Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 10:49 AM Shares of Towers Watson (TW -10.1%) slip after the company beat on its Q2 bottom line but came up short on revenue and cut FY12 guidance.

Going forward however, it sees revenue growth flat at best due to currency impact and weak overall demand, and warns of a potential 10% drop in its EPS for the current quarter. Comment!
