11:06 am
charles: where ever you spend it is the economy. people have 20 bucks in their wallet and they will not spend it. stuart: that is good, too; isn't it? charles: good for them, not necessarily the economy. these people will not even spend the savings. they will spend even more money. stuart: i want to get back to patrick. you run it past buddy.com. you make a lot of money when prices are going up. do you make as much money when prices are collapsing? >> volatility is all right with us stuart. we give them the money that we save. i will do a roundabout here and say whatever we make goes right back to app development and
