In todays money report, verizon starts at new pricing policy today so how much will a new iphone cost you . With that story and a check on the markets, lets check in with cnbcs bill griffith. Hi, bill. Hi, shiba. We have a slightly higher stock market today and its very different from the last few days where we had a lot of volatility and the markets watching carefully as the Chinese Government frantically starts to deal with their sharply slowing economy. We had good retail sales out this morning and that was encouraging here for our own economy. The Dow Jones Industrial average has been slightly lower. Its been slightly higher. Right now its up about 30, 35 points. Were trading at 17,436. Well see if that quiet market continues into the afternoon. Lets talk about this new pricing approximately see from verizon. It starts today. There were plusses and there are minuses for customers. The plus is that new customers dont have to sign up for that usual twoyear service contract. You just pay month to month and your bill will be based on the amount of data you use. What a concept. The minus is no more discounts on phone. So lets remember that an iphone can cost up to 650. So, you know, you have more flexibility with this pricing plan, but it may cost you more. Well see, it all depends on how much you use for that pricing plan. And this, i find a very interesting story. Cnbc has done an analysis of the cost of driving a car today compared to what it was 60 years ago. Back in 1956, we all know cars were gasguzzlers, but gasoline was a lot cheaper. Today cars are much more fuel efficient, but gasoline is more expensive. Who had it better . Our parents ore us . It turns out we have the slight edge. Drivers got 5. 6 miles per dollar spent on gasoline. Today we get 7. 2 miles per dollar. So while we may complain about the price of gas, actually interestingly, our dollar goes a little further than it did in 1956 and by the way, shiba, this is based on data from 2014 last year and we all know the gasoline and oil prices have come down sharply this year, so our dollar goes a little further than it did last year at this time. That is a really fascinating and interesting study. I think if you ask that at an Afterwork Party people would bet that the earlier generation would have it better. The good news is today you dont have to spend any money on gas because the weather is so gorgyius, you just walk it everywhere you can. Beautiful outside. So splendid. Its a carbon copy of yesterday.
