Half a percent.
Doesn't use it as a -- is actually proving just how bad our economy dealing -- Well it's pretty frightening in the list that we think the almighty forever I was sure I.
They're there they're literally the atlas is an apples when the average is holding the economy up it's a little frightening however how one economy can have such -- -- impact because you know what.
There's no reason why we couldn't have a dozen.
Apple's two dozen apple is is there's an.
It's a better business environment.
It's a better economic climate that we need to get folks actually producing and making more miracles like apple does.
Okay all right Tracy do you agree with Jonathan it is well I think it's more about how anemic the numbers aren't Cheryl I mean their show that had these days that even if you go out and -- What -- phone you're gonna move GDP because people are sitting on their hands.
Not willing to do anything.
Up we have today with Ben Bernanke and him -- -- more money into this economy is basically a sign that he thinks -- doesn't doesn't work.

Head of the success and died it happens all the time if we don't have innovation we won't have anything.
Apple is just one there's a lot of fanfare about it it's one of -- What -- the medical products and -- they are -- there are thousands of inventions coming on constantly new medicines things like that.
It's good for the economy all of this is good for the economy it's not just apple got -- -- out of have been successful I want everybody to be success right -- -- us or Imus on.
Wainwright numbers don't work on this 700 billion dollars because on one product that only does -- 149 million total right now I want to Tracy's point helicopter -- it helps to we have cyclical unemployment we have structural unemployment right now so anything like apple that comes out the key is if -- entrepreneur don't copy creates and that's what apple does our guys great discussion -- thinking.
