Futures are cloudy this morning. No need for shades. Crude and Gold both down fractionally. No word from King Midas on Gold's position. Bitcoin up slightly for no reason at all. Looks like a normal start to Bitcoin's week as it looks to move away from the $8,000 Remain Calm! mark. China is currently facing an outbreak of a new strain of the Coronavirus that humans can contract and which has caused alarm because of its connection to SARS that killed nearly 800 people across mainland China and Hong Kong back in 2002/2003. It seems that this is being blamed for the markets being down this morning. Guess the Flu in the US isn't enough to move the markets. So far, there have been an estimated 6.4 million flu illnesses across the US, 55,000 hospitalizations and 2,900 deaths from flu this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Nope. Nearly 3,000 deaths from the flu and Mr. Market takes it in stride. Maybe WSB can provide a link to a medical comments page? Boeing news is brought to you by Boeing, of course. Tesla is moving forward with the acquisition of a 300-hectare property in a designated industrial area just outside of Berlin. The Brandenburg state has already approved the sale at a preliminary price of $45.4M. Real estate is pricey just outside Berlin. SpaceX completed the in-flight abort test of its Crew Dragon capsule. The inaugural launch of NASA astronauts will likely take place in the second quarter of this year, according to CEO Elon Musk, with NASA expected to pay about $55M per astronaut to fly to the ISS. One astronaut will pay for the land in Germany! SpaceX is a private company, right? No way to invest in SpaceX? Elon Musk remains excommunicado. In other Tesla news, they have responded to an NHTSA petition to investigate and recall around 500K of the company's electric cars over an alleged "unintended acceleration" defect. "This petition is completely false and was brought by a Tesla short-seller." It appears that the NHTSA is short $TSLA. You never know, but how can one not believe Mr. Musk and Tesla on this one? JPMorgan creates the Development Finance Institution. The project will fund at least $100B in emerging market projects, closing the gap by helping turn development finance into a traded asset class, originating assets for distribution to investors. It will also connect public and private pools of capital, from pensions and family offices to philanthropies. Moving toward its long-term goal of a carbon-free society, Subaru has set a target to sell only electric vehicles worldwide by the first half of the 2030s. Along the way, Subaru plans to develop a so-called "strong hybrid" vehicle using Toyota technology that will debut later in the decade, and is also developing an all-battery electric car with Toyota for release around the same time. You have my interest Subaru. Not sure why I have to wait 10-15 years, but you have my interest.Notes via user dcv.
