Trump’s fault!

Actually, ... I think it is the President’s fault. Why should the CIA budget continue to pay for Zuckerturd’s personal data gathering efforts?

I know who owns it-—and you’ve got to give them credit———the loyalty of the young are what makes them money.

In the beginning, it was nothing sort of an amazing service.

To be able to contact old friends and to catch up with family you didn’t see often, was invaluable.

But then, more trashy people started living their trashy lives through it. people under 18 brought their high school drama. People then saw it as a soapbox to blast their unsolicited political opinions + the lynch mobs that resulted, and then there was all of the tacky add-ons that made it a complete dumpster fire that most of us avoid like the plague.

Here Are Three Hot Things to Know About Stocks Right Now

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot higher at the close on reports of a U.S. deal with the EU to avoid a trade war. Facebook (FB) slides in after-hours trading after revenue miss. General Motors Co. (GM) slumped 4.3% after the automaker issued an outlook for 2018 that was below analysts’ estimates.

Wall Street Overview

Stocks surged in late trading on Wednesday, July 25, to end sharply higher on reports the U.S. and Europe have reached an agreement to avoid a trade war

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 172 points, or 0.68%, to 25,414, the S&P 500 rose 0.91% and the Nasdaq was up 1.17%.

The surge came amid reports European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and President Trump have reached agreement on a deal to avoid a trade war.

Sergio Marchionne, the legendary auto industry executive, died Wednesday, just days after he stepped down as CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCAU) following medical complications linked to an earlier surgery. Shares of the company fell 11% on disappointing earnings.

Sergio Marchionne Dies After Complications From Earlier Surgery

Marchionne, who assumed the role of Fiat Chrysler CEO when the U.S. carmaker emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, has been widely credited with steering the company into profitability thanks to a shift toward larger vehicles in the U.S. market and a focus on cost cuts.

AT&T Inc. (T) fell 4.4% after the newly constructed digital advertising, media and telecom machine got a cool reception, despite an earnings beat.

The parent of Time Warner, DirecTV and AT&T communications networks earned an adjusted 91 cents a share in the second quarter, topping analysts’ estimates of 87 cents. Revenue in the quarter fell 2.1% from a year earlier to $39 billion and missed analysts’ estimates.

Boeing Co. (BA) posted second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.33 a share, higher than estimates of $3.25. Revenue of $24.26 billion topped forecasts of $24.04 billion.

Shares fell 0.7%, however, as the company cut its defense operating margins and its full-year earnings guidance didn’t meet analysts’ expectations.

That is not worth a 20% drop in stock price.

I get a kick out of the businesses, like restaurants that have facebook pages. Seems they often forget to update the pages - like the most recent post being “our New Years Day specials” and it’s July of the following year.
