I would think that there is a good chance that share holders of (DRYS) will see a benefit. This will be in the form of equity in the spun off unit and an improvement...

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is a stock I trade often and that we cover often here on the T3Live blog. The company continues to innovate and achieve success in nearly every venture it undertakes, thanks in large part to visionary CEOSteve Jobs.

In it, Chris and he dive deep into the Fed activity (encouraged by Washington and...

Jobs also says that he will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company. As a reminder Apple accounts for about 20% of the Nasdaq. As a further reminder, the last time it was even rumored the COO was leaving, the stock tumbled $20 in the span of a few milliseconds. German listed Apple shares fall 1.8% following the...
