>> welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. i'm steve kroft. in this edition, we talk with a trio of business moguls, carl icahn, eli broad, and sir howard stringer. we begin with carl icahn. it takes a certain breed of stock market investor to thrive in queasy times, and icahn is one of that breed. he has a knack of turning someone else's loss into profit for himself. but he can also help others improve their bottom line through the so-called icahn lift, an upward bounce that often happens when he starts buying a beleaguered stock. when the financial crisis hit in 2008, many investors were tearing their hair out, but not icahn. the state of the economy changes, but icahn's investment philosophy remains the same. as he told leslie stahl in march of 2008, carl icahn looks to pounce while everyone else is losing their shirts. >> the day we visited icahn enterprises, the stock market was swinging wildly, at one point, dropping 300 points. so has this been a bad day? this is not a great day. >> tough day, tough day. >> wow, this is beautiful. look

you are watching cnbc, first in business worldwide. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ >>> a busy day in boston in the aftermath of monday's marathon bombings. fbi briefings expected in about 40 minutes. of course, president obama spent nearly four hours there today, as partf interface service that they had, michelle. >> scott cohn is in boston. he has the latest from there, scott. >> michelle, we are going to finally get an official briefing from law enforcement, as bill said, that will come roughly around the top of the hour. and the plan is that it will be all law enforcement. the previous briefings have included the governor and the may

. >> welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. i'm lesley stahl. the information technology revolution changes our world on a daily basis, but one thing that doesn't change is our fascination with the so-called nerds who not only transformed society but became billionaires in the process. this edition features a trio of these tech titans: bill gates, the man who created the world's most valuable software company, microsoft; mark zuckerberg, the young, geeky computer programmer behind the internet phenomenon facebook; and sergey brin, the cofounder of google. we'll begin with brin. has there ever been a brand name like google? in less than five years, it went from an idea to a global verb, as in, "i googled this," or, "i google that," or, "i google you." back in 2006, shortly after the company went public, google opened its doors for the first time and let us google them. >> we have north america. >> oh, look at that. google cofounder sergey brin is showing us an electronic globe that displays the mountains of google searches happening around the wo

. >> welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. i'm steve kroft. in this edition, we meet two silicon valley billionaires a generation apart who revolutionized the world of computing and the internet. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg and paul allen, microsoft's cofounder. we begin with mark zuckerberg and facebook. if you have a facebook account, you've probably reconnected with an old pal, shared photos with your family, and gotten advice from your friends on what to buy and what to read. but facebook has bigger plans. it wants to turn the entire web into one big social network. lesley stahl first talked with mark zuckerberg in 2008, and three years later, we sat down with mark again. he gave us a preview of his site's new profile page, a change that would affect the 500 million people who were then using facebook, an idea that zuckerberg had cooked up in his dorm room at harvard. >> when you first thought about this--19 years old--is this what you had in mind? did you see this far into the future, or is it way beyond what you dreamed? >> well, it's f

on the fundamental side of the story is zack carabell, a cnbc contributor. rich, what do the charts look like? is it too late to get into cabelas? >> this is a true american success story. we see a stock up 225% from the 2011 low and it's tracking this well-defined trend line. today we're up 14%, breaking out to a fresh all-time high. i'm a buyer oen the breakout alone, but i really like this head and shoulders continuation pattern, within the context of that uptrend. that projects measured upside to $72. that's 12% from here. i'm a buyer of the stock on this breakout. >> does the fundamental side of the picture match up with technicals? >> hunting, fishing, crossbows, it's a bulls's-eye from a technical perspective. one, momentum's in its favor, but the momentum is only in the favor of any stock until the momentum stops. and i'm always uncomfortable getting in front of a company like this after that kind of a momentum, which is the opposite of a technical read. the fundamental issue i have, and this is a personal one, i think gun ownership is fine at a pers

[ticking] >> welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. i'm steve kroft. in this edition, we talk with julian assange, the mysterious and eccentric founder of wikileaks, whose website made public thousands of u.s. secrets. and we examine the secret danger behind a type of dust that's killing american factory workers. we begin with wikileaks, a website that publishes classified and suppressed material from whistle-blowers around the world. in the late summer of 2011, wikileaks made news when someone--it's not clear who-- dumped 250,000 unredacted and classified state department and pentagon documents, which had been in wikileaks' possession, onto the internet. when we interviewed assange, he was already under investigation by the justice department for publishing classified material and possible violations of the espionage act. he was also under house arrest in britain, fighting extradition to sweden in connection with two sexual assault cases, which he has called part of a smear campaign against him. in what is still his most extensive television interview

. >> here now first on cnbc is the man many call the bond king himself. apparently we're not supposed to call you the bond king any more. you say that in your notes. how come? >> you can continue to do that but i'm not so sure that it would sink in in terms of my psyche. an expansion of pes and profits. and you know it's a fair question to ask whether those conditions continue during a future effort. and that's my point. if investors are already long enough to survive it. that's the michael jackson reference, make a change. >> take a look at yourself and make that. bill, the one thing that really stuck out to me about this piece basically a or whether it's been in bonds the better part of the last decade. will we ever see an investing time like that again? >> you know, i don't think so. let's look at it from the standpoint of the bond market? in the early 1980s and now just above three. huge capital gains that propelled huge expansion in terms of bes that allowed for expansion of corporate profits. from that standpoint alone, we're not likely seeing the s
