What Dataxu Acquisition Means for Roku Stock

Boeing fires Kevin McAllister, head of unit that makes the 737 Max
Boeing on Tuesday fired Kevin McAllister as president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the jet maker's unit that produces the 737 Max. McAllister was immediately replaced by longtime Boeing executive Stan Deal, who's led the launch of the Boeing General Services unit over the past two years. "Stan brings extensive operational experience at commercial airplanes and trusted relationships with our airline customers and industry partners," Boeing President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a statement. McAllister's ouster as the head of the Renton-headquartered Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) unit comes after less than three years on the job and a day after Boeing's board of directors met in Texas.

AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian Dollar Runs Into Resistance
The Australian dollar has gone back and forth during the trading session on Tuesday, testing the 50% Fibonacci retracement level again, which was also the recent resistance barrier that the market paid attention to. At this point, you should also consider that the market has been in a major downtrend, and therefore it's likely that the market should continue to favor the downtrend given enough time. Beyond that, the market has also favored the downtrend due to massive amounts of negativity around the world, including the US/China trade situation, which of course the Australian dollar will be very sensitive to as Australia is a major supplier of commodities for the mainland China factories.

If you're saving for retirement, remember this: It's really just 20 years of unemployment
A happy, healthy retirement is most everyone's dream. According to Northwestern Mutual's Planning & Progress Study 2019, only 16% of the adults surveyed had saved $200,000 or more for retirement. Add to those sobering statistics of under-saving is the fact that most Americans have unrealistic expectations about their standard of living in retirement.

Biogen Stock Rockets On Stunning Reversal In Alzheimer's Treatment
In a stunning reversal, Biogen stock rocketed Tuesday after the company announced it will ask U.S. regulators to approve an Alzheimer's treatment previously thought to have failed in Phase 3 studies. A broader analysis of the Phase 3 study dubbed Emerge showed Biogen's experimental drug, aducanumab, slowed the clinical decline in patients with early Alzheimer's disease, the company said. Analysis of patients on the high dose of aducanumab in another Phase 3 study called Engage backs this up.

When Not to Open a Roth IRA
In the family of financial planning products, the Roth IRA or 401(k) sometimes looks like the cool younger brother of traditional retirement accounts. Indeed, the Roth version, first introduced in 1998, offers a number of attractive features that its standard siblings lack: the absence of required minimum distributions (RMDs), the flexibility to withdraw money prior to retirement without penalties, and the ability to make contributions past the age of 70½. A Roth indeed makes sense at certain points in your life.

SoftBank reportedly ends WeWork ownership debacle with a potential $1.7 billion windfall for Adam Neumann
After erasing more than $30 billion in projected shareholder value, Adam Neumann could walk away from the We Company with a windfall of as much as $1.7 billion, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. This is how the company will end, not with the pop of a successful public offering, but with a whimper from defeated investors probably tired after the months-long saga of trying to make sense of how a clever real estate plan ballooned into one of the greatest swindles in venture capital history. Already ousted as the company's chief executive, Neumann controlled shares of the company that gave him what amounted to significant control even after his removal.

The 3 Best Stocks to Buy and Hold (Forever)
Buy and hold has been an investment strategy used for centuries. Unfortunately, the rise of high-frequency trading (HFT), greater volatility in the markets and the recession of 2008 seem to have stripped buy and hold of its allure. While the market's new normal does not favor those who do not keep close tabs on their investments, strategic buy and hold is still a viable strategy that can be used with success.

WeWork Needed a Bailout—But Adam Neumann Still Leaves a Billionaire
SoftBank Group Corp.'s proposed rescue package of WeWork involves Neumann selling about $1 billion of stock and getting a $185 million consulting fee from the Japanese firm even as the deal values the struggling office-sharing company at $8 billion, according to people familiar with the transaction. Neumann will leave the company's board though he still can assign two seats. On these terms, Neumann's net worth would be at least $1 billion, according to calculations by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Man who rang the alarm as the Fed lost control of a $2 trillion market says central bank hasn’t done enough to avoid another rate spike
Mark Cabana was warning of the emerging strains in short-term U.S. money markets as early as last year, well before daily funding markets seized up last month and forced the Federal Reserve to dust off tools it hadn't used since the 2008 financial crisis. In the end, the troubles in the repo market, a roughly $2 trillion short-term lending market that is vital to financing on Wall Street, comes down to how the U.S. central bank briefly lost its grip on its policy interest rate in September, said the head of U.S. short rates strategy for Bank of America Merrill Lynch in an interview with MarketWatch on Monday. Cabana said the central bank has been working hard to avoid further funding stresses, but believes the Fed could do more to help assuage the frayed nerves of market participants after September's repo market crisis when overnight lending rates surged to a peak of 10%, according to some estimates.

What to Do After Maxing Out Your 401(k) Plan
The downside: Annuities are rather illiquid. "You sometimes have to pay a [tax] penalty if you withdraw the funds prior to age 59½ or if you don't take them as an income stream [after retirement],” cautions Klein. Even if you avoid the penalty, by moving the funds directly to another annuity product, you still probably will be subject to the insurance company's surrender charges.

The No. 1 reason billionaires decide to move — it has nothing to do with buying a bigger home
Sweeping vistas and proximity to fellow rich and famous folks are some reasons why billionaires live where they do, and now a new study says estate taxes are a pretty important factor as well. Billionaires tend to move out of states with estate taxes, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The federal government and state governments use estate taxes to tax the transfer of wealth and property from the deceased to their heirs.

'A good move on Oracle’s part': Analysts say this high-profile competitor would be a smart pick for co-CEO role
Days after Oracle Corp. co-CEO Mark Hurd's death while on medical leave, the Redwood City-based company hasn't yet named a co-CEO for Safra Catz — but two analysts told the Silicon Valley Business Journal they could see a particular high-profile competitor filling the role. Constellation Research founder Ray Wang suggested Bill McDermott, who stepped down as CEO of Oracle rival SAP this month after 17 years with the company. French Caldwell, CFO of the Analyst Syndicate, said McDermott would be “killer” as a co-CEO of Oracle.

Autoworkers from closed plants fight new GM contract
About 2,000 employees who once worked at GM transmission plants near Baltimore and Detroit and a small-car assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, will repeat that message this week as 49,000 union members vote on the new four-year deal. Approval could end the walkout that has crippled GM's production and cost the company an estimated $2 billion. Most of the workers who lost their jobs at the three sites are scattered across the country after transferring to other GM factories, so they have a presence at just about all of the automaker's plants.
