8:04 am
are they doing with the money that they're saving? >> well, american airlines gave their flight attendants a raise. we've seen them buy newer planes which benefits the consumers who are flying them. and last but not least, they're, of course, passing this money on to wall street in the form of dividends. their investors are benefiting. >> we were talking about apple and those numbers, $75 million -- 75 million iphones sold. how remarkable are those numbers to you? what does that mean in the big, big picture? >> well when the ceo says the numbers are staggering and hard to comprehend that tells you everything. when "the wall street journal" says they sold 34,000 phones an hour, it's hard to even wrap your brain around it. it's huge. huge. >> can you wrap your brain around this? they have $178 billion in cash. >> but the cash can become a problem for them because as you know all too well many people know cash just sitting there is not earning anything. so they have to figure out ways
