Just because a deal gets done that doesnt mean it will make sense. The dow finished flat, s p advanced 0. 7 , we need to address the merger mania because this market was dominated by deals today. Both real and imagined before we get into the weeds let melee out my position for you. I love mergers and acquisitions. The higher the stock market goes and it reduces the supply of stock floating around and anything that takes out supply is good news even if its applied to buy backs, however, i dont love speculating on mergers and acquisitions especially when acting on a tip as always, i say tips are for waiters if youre not for sure a deal is coming, Accurate Information is illegal. If you dont know, then youre just gambling. My rule of thumb never bet on a stock because of the speculation, only buy a stock of a company with healthy fundamental. Any potential deal activity lets say thats gravy which brings me to todays action this morning david faber reported that xerox wants to buy hp ink w
The clerk will read a communication to the senate. The clerk washington d. C, nod conversation will now come to order and the chair recognizes himself for five minutes for the purpose of an Opening Statement. This morning, first let me welcome our witnesses.

The Median Income of these households is over 35,000 per year, and 71 report having a computer in their home. The median networth of seniors 65 and over is 25 times that of people under 35 years of age. The expanding population of Older Americans and their relative wealth compared to other age groups increases the risk that someone will want to ta
Changes the conversation because focusing on advancing women and, again, i want women in the top of every profession but when we think about it that way, we start counting. Because thats the way you measure how well women are doing, how many women are in fortune 500 and how many women are in Senior Management and how many women are computer scientists. All that have does focus pretty much on wealthy white women, by and large. It does not phofocus on the millions of the women at the bottom. One of the thing i realize, we have too few women at the top and too many women at the bottom and care or our lack of support for care plays a role at both ends. At the top end, if you take time out for care, your career goes off track. But for the millions of women at the bottom not supporting their care means if they take a day off they could lose a job, right . So focusing on care says we have to put in place the policies that rich women can buy their way out of often. We have to put in leave, pai
