Futures in the green but shades may not be needed. Crude and Gold both up fractionally. Bitcoin on the rise! Moving away from the $8,000 Remain Calm! mark and closer to the $9,000 Almost Important level. No reason given for the swings of Bitcoin. Something I like in Futures indicators. WhatsApp is pulling back from its plan to sell ads - a plan that was the spur for the service's founders to resign from Facebook in 2018. Guess we need to look for a new reason the founders resigned. $FB Jack Dorsey reached out to Elon Musk to find out how Mr. Musk would fix Twitter. Maybe start by not using it to call people names that get you dragged into court? Yikes. Mr. Musk did say that Twitter needs to do a better job with identifying "real users" and those accounts that are "bots." Makes sense to me. Good work Mr. Musk. Back to next big Tesla reveal. $TSLA Elon Musk remains excommunicado. Nothing on Boeing today? $BA WeWork has been missing since the start of the new year. Thank you. Bombardier plunges as much as 38% in Toronto to a low of C$1.14/share after cutting Q4 guidance and saying it may need to pull out of its JV with Airbus to build commercial jets because rising production costs threaten future returns on its investment. Most may not be interested but this certainly caught my eye as I have shares of Bombardier as a speculative play. Chinese ride-hailing platform Dida Chuxing is seeking up to $300 million in pre-IPO funding from investors including Tencent, Chinese media reported Thursday. Beijing-based Dida is the second-largest ride-hailing service in China and one of the few to say it is profitable. $NIO has invested in Dida and I hold shares of $NIO. Starbucks is expanding its effort to put more coffee shops - and create more jobs - in poor neighborhoods, further cultivating a reputation for being socially responsible. Looking at "Starbucks near me" I see that the closest one is over 2 hours away. Maybe Starbucks can look to one of the poorest counties in New York to further cultivate a reputation for being socially responsible? Glad I go with Folgers Instant each morning. Quite a long drive to get a Starbucks coffee! CSX EPS beats by $0.01, misses on revenue. Shares up 2.5% premarket. Where are the authors shouting to "Sell" $CSX? Speaking of authors on Seeking Alpha, I would like to see a ratings system in place to disclose the success of those who have articles on this site. TipRanks does a wonderful job rating authors, bloggers, and analysts on their Success Rate % and Return on Ideas. Just a thought to help readers better understand who is behind the information being given. Where is Jon Corzine and will he continue to wear his Nike Vaporfly sneakers while competing in marathons? notes via user dcv
