12:13 pm
right? when people start with a spare change, it cuts through that. betty: the spare change averages $50,000 a month. portfoliosfive etf and it is very simple. from conservative to very aggressive. it is interesting because as you know, there are stats out there that when you give people too many decisions to make, oftentimes they freeze. and then they don't do anything with their money. this kind of takes that whole decision-making out of their hands. pimm: this is a loose change that would normally be described as underneath the cushions of the sofa. betty: electronically speaking. this is all link to your credit cards. it is your electronically strange. pimm: are you going to sign up for? betty: i have to say it is compelling. i do invest in my retirement portfolio. it took me a while to do it.

wearhouse in 1973. i brought the board together and it would my friends and colleagues. some i had known for 50 years and some i had vacationed with . then really out of the blue, they brought me in the day before a shareholder meeting and said to me, george, we would like for you to resign as chairman of the board and become executive -- nonexecutive chairman, but become a figurehead chairman. and i said, i do not think i want to do that. betty: did they really say that though? george: they called it chairman emeritus. they said we put your stuff in storage and you are done. it could not be out of the blue. none of the things that happen are ever out of the blue, george. a couple ofave had conversations going back about 60 days. successor to the ceo position. i have asked that he report to

revenge? george: absolutely not. first off, we are way too busy to think about revenge. there is no reason why my former company could not avail themselves of our service. explain how the service would work. let us say that betty needed something tailored. what would be the process? george: on the website, it is being billed into an app out in 30 days. it is very simple. you just indicate the zip code where you want the tailor to come, the day and the hour, and the software that we created matches tailors with client taste on that information. betty: and they come to your home? pimm: come to your home or office. they measure and take the garment away and it comes back. george: you can select the gender of the tailor and we will

12:35 pm
a heart? joining us now is adam. how is apple going to differentiate itself, other than the fact that it is apple? adam: i think that's how it's going to differentiate itself. the new service is lovely. all the features that they have described are features already in the marketplace. and there doing the right features. however, they have a hundred million credit cards. incrediblen installed base. they probably skew a little older demographically than spotify does. i think there's ashley greene for both of them in the market. i don't think this is a spotify killer. it would be terribly shortsighted not to think that apple is going to make a real -- create a real presence for itself. betty: the older demographic -- is that a good thing? adam: i think it is because it
12:36 pm
then does take advantage of what is uniquely apple, which they trumpet yesterday extensively, which is that we are integrated, this sent the best -- synthesized and easy-to-use service. and that we will add the radio and streaming. i think it must of been quite smart on their pricing. they don't have an ad supported peer. there was a survey that came out in like the last 10 days or so that came out and said that thele in spotify will take premium package. nearly 17% of them either by him -- 70% of them either by into a subscription or they don't. apple is giving you three months and it's free. after that, you are in or you're not.
12:37 pm
i think that is probably a smart use of information that is there . betty: it is. the the three months since the -- the three months seems to be a cutoff point. even though spotify has users,ng like 15 million it is still a really small portion of the listening population. streaming music hasn't taken off. i think part of the problem is that there is too much of it out there. there is too many choices. i'm sorry. people just can't deal with it. it is like too much. they don't want to do with it. how is apple going to make that better? adam: you are so right. if you take the spotify and their 15 million and figure out how much is amazing, you're down to five or 6 million. i don't know. but it's in that region. i do think what apple does , anyone-- remember
12:38 pm
under the age of 35, their primary source of access today is a mobile device. apple really gets these devices. they really understand the software. they really understand or audiences. they have this incredible database and have been working with them for years. personalize and encourage and drive you towards that is probably greater than all the others combined. thei think that some of smaller streaming services are terribly news. some of the smaller ones do get bumped out and i think are left with modified and apple. and pandora serves its own role in the market. betty: if you are the first mover, which modify and pandora both were, you do get to keep that advantage as long as you keep doing things right. adam: correct. betty: the problem i see both is that apple shares have been down the last few days. they were down yesterday after the news and continue to faulted
12:39 pm
one of the biggest decliners on the nasdaq. clearly investors are not impressed with this. why do you think that is? i think it is a reaction to the total package of stuff presented yesterday. while the commons i read was that until i see the new cell phone or the new mobile, what is going to happen with the next generation of that device, how are they going to move the price? a lot of the stuff yesterday was catch up stuff. they look pretty good, but it was catch up stuff. betty: it was aggregate news. and there was a software update. on the flip side, for m music artists and industry, is this a game changer for them? yes, it is potentially good and here is why i think it is. we all know that over the last surprise,ome people sales of tracks and what have
