it's an issue for all. >> mr. nader actually addresses that. says it's unfair to hold shareholders hostage to what the administration might or might not do. and makes a point cisco throws out $3 billion in cash. so it can pay some sort of dividend. >> apple has 27 billion of u.s. cash. >> how can anybody expect management to encourage the administration and others to try to come up with reasonable tax policy before you start -- >> i don't think one is the other is what i'm saying. one wouldn't preclude the other. >> in cisco's defense, cisco likes to buy back their shares. they bought back a ton. 50 billion in excess, i would imagine. maybe we don't like buying back shares anymore. but that's what companies like to do. in terms of cisco's stock, again, cisco remains a name over the last two months that's turned the story around and can be owned once again. >> all right. got to take a break. next on "fast," a powerful new trading tool. how to make money by trading on tweets. more "fast money" coming up next. the two trains and a bus to the 5:00

but one little story to be told which is fascinating and reminded me of you mr. naderis that sammy davis jr. lost an eye to an accident where the part of the wheel, which was used to be made pointy because it looked you know more or whatever, when the car hit another car front the sharp part of the wheel went into his eye and made them blind. i didn't know that but it was the work that you did on auto safety that would have prevented that from happening. >> it's the steering column. i have to say i got stained years ago. i was losing my friends to highway crashes, much more than they do today. there was a much higher death rate and i would lose them in high school. i would lose them in college or they would come back. holy chicks. the minute i -- paraplegics. the minute i saw people in detroit were keeping on the seatbelts, collapsible steering columns, stronger door latches, head restraints, airbags i really got stained and i met a lot of engineers and a lot of human factories who knew much more than i did about the automobile highway driver interaction but they didn'
