NASDAQ Market News

I became interested in 3D printing technology almost ten years ago when I visited the Mid-America Technology Center at Pittsburg State University in Kansas to learn about what was then called “rapid prototyping” and its potential uses in the automotive industry.  A few days ago I was doing some research and I discovered that the […]

I must confess that I have never tweeted (in any way, shape or form), nor have I ever used Twitter.  I’m not apologizing.  I’m just saying that I don’t see the necessity of having a Twitter account, although some of my clients are suggesting that I should open one.  Now I see that Twitter has […]

It started out innocently enough as an entertaining way to post videos from posting popular music, snippets from TV shows, how-to demos, personal tirades, stupid human tricks, and a plethora of other item, both socially redeeming and some that indicate the need for social redemption.  Yesterday we saw an example of how powerful this social […]

Yesterday I said, essentially, that the U.S. shutdown “ain’t not big deal.”  If this shutdown is like most of the others the U.S. has experienced, it will be something similar to the effect of a major January snowstorm in the Washington DC area.

The Dow is Down 114.06 to 15,144, the S&P is Poorer by 10.35 to 1,681, and the NASDAQ has Descended by 16.19 to 3,765.  Apparently, the market is reacting to the looming potential for a shutdown of the U.S. Government.

It won’t be long now before you are able to find a policeman when you need one.  Just head for the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts (NASDAQ:DNKN).  That’s right, Dunkin’ Donuts is coming back to London after two decades. The company announced yesterday that it was on a mission to rescue Londoners from the jaws of Krispy […]

Every evening Americans turn on their TV’s to catch up on the news of the day.  Among the top five headlines of the day, there is inevitably something like this:  “The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 32 points today on news that . . .”  For the average American, that’s the most attention that […]

A couple of weeks ago I wrote one of my typically brilliant stories, only to see that my colleague, Tom Frew, wrote about the same story the very next day.  I cautioned him that his “oversight” might be returned in kind someday.  I mean, you never know about these things.  Today, I return from a […]
