On Monday U.S. stocks closed lower as investors looked ahead to a light week of economic reports and some consolidation in currency and oil prices. Existing home sales bounced 1.2 percent higher, to 4.88 million units, still slightly below forecasts. On Tuesday stocks continued to fall as investors attempted to find clarity on the timing of an interest rate hike, as inflation data came in roughly in line with projections. Consumer price index made a comeback by rising 0.2% in February but was flat year-over-year. New home sales picked up sharply to a 539,000 annual rate, following a big upward revision to January, to 500,000. These are the first two 500,000 readings going all the way back to April and May of 2008. On Wednesday U.S. stocks got crushed, closing more than 1 percent lower as Wall Street bowed to the pressure of the strong dollar and its impact on the economy. Nasdaq lost more than 2 percent; with biotechnology, one of the best performing sectors falling more than 3.5%, marking its biggest one-day plunge this year. The losing streak continued on Thursday as major indices tanked through the trading day, erasing their entire gains for the year so far, and the dollar rallied to a 12-year high against the euro. Initial jobless claims fell to a five-week low, pointing to a healthy and expanding labor market. But stocks failed to shake off the losses and investors weighed the stronger dollar and weaker global economy ahead of the earnings season. On Friday biotechnology sector attempted to break this week’s decline but investors remained cautious. The third estimate for fourth-quarter U.S. GDP came in unchanged at 2.2%. Consumer spending was revised higher to 4.4 percent.
Now some company highlights:
Hewlett-Packard announced a new partnership to equip its PCs, tablets, and other gadgets with audio technology from a Danish television and sound system maker. Hewlett-Packard will replace the previous partnership with Beats Audio, beginning this spring. It is still unclear to shareholders if the new partnership will have an impact on sales numbers.
Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz, two of the most iconic names in the nation’s kitchens, said on Wednesday they will merge through a billion deal to create one of the world’s biggest food empires. The transaction was engineered by Warren Buffett, with help from the company that owns Heinz, a Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital. The new company, Kraft Heinz, will be home to long-lasting staples of the family meal, with Heinz’s ketchup alongside Kraft’s Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Oscar Mayer, and its namesake macaroni and cheese.
Shares of Ford were down 2% on Wednesday after the automaker announced its latest major vehicle recall. The recall affects more than 221,000 recent models of the company’s ambulance, police and emergency vehicles, to fix a defect that causes their engines to spontaneously shut down and refuse to restart. Ford says so far there have been no reports of accidents or injuries due to the issues at hand.

An electrical fire under the pavement in central London has led to some 2,000 people being evacuated from nearby buildings and a number of West End shows being cancelled.
Fire crews were called after smoke was seen coming out of an inspection cover on Kingsway, in Holborn, at 12.30 BST.
The electrical fire is among cables, said London Fire Brigade (LFB). A 25m safety cordon has been put in place.
Police have declared a major incident and closed the road at both ends.
Shows at the Lyceum, Duchess and Aldwych theatres have been cancelled, London Theatre Direct said.
And judges, lawyers and staff at The Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand have had to evacuate.
People have evacuated buildings along Rose Street and Garrick Street, along with the market building in Covent Garden.
Emergency services are waiting for utility companies to disconnect the power supply before tackling the fire. Seventy firefighters were at the scene, LFB tweeted.
Motorists have been told to avoid the area.
Gary Squires from London Fire Brigade at the scene of the fire.
He said the fire started in a large service duct, now “heavily smoke-logged”, which carries electric cables, gas cables, water pipes and a number of hazards beneath the street.
“We have some very high-powered cables down there which is causing a hazard to our crews,” he added.
Mr Squires said: “We can see flames coming out of the pavement which looks quite dramatic, but that is the gas pipe – it has now ruptured and that has now ignited and the gas is burning off and that, if anything, makes it safer for us as the gas is being burnt off.”
Some songs we hear alot, for example add jingles, ring tones or background music from a film or television program. However never really pay much attention to the fact that you know it or think about the fact that someone had to sit down for hours to compose it. Here is a collection of multiple news themes from all 5 free to air channels in Australia:Ten, SBS, ABC, seven and Nine. Most of them you should know from either past or prescent but I bet you had never taken the time listen to them as you would with music on the radio or MP3 player.
I hope you enjoy or atleast feel a bit nostalgic. 😀

U.S. stocks rallied to start the 4-day trading week. The Dow jumped 260 points on Monday and the S&P closed 1 percent higher, thanks to encouraging talk of stimulus in Asia. Personal income in February was in-line with market consensus, posting a gain of 0.4 percent; Consumer spending picked up 0.1 percent. Pending homes sales jumped 3.1 percent, driven primarily by sales in the West and Midwest regions. But the party was over on Tuesday as the Dow dropped triple digits, with healthcare sector falling the most in the final trading day in the first quarter. Investors are realizing that the economic conditions are challenging. It’s hard to see how the U.S. is going to raise interest rates in the face of global weakness. On Wednesday markets spent a second day in the red; ISM for March posted 51.5, the lowest level on this indicator since last May. Construction spending fell 0.1 percent in February, for a second straight month of decline. March ADP Employment Report came in very soft at 189,000, below forecasts. Crude oil climbed back to a barrel, as negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program are heading into double overtime. Negotiators missed a deadline on Iran’s nuclear talks that might bring more supply to the market. Oil prices rallied for the first time in four days following a weekly U.S. inventory report that turned out to be less than some had feared. On Thursday stocks traded higher; Initial jobless claims fell very sharply, down 20,000 to 268,000. Factory orders showed an increase of 0.2 percent. The U.S. trade balance for February sharply narrowed on lower oil prices.
Now some company highlights:
GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) the web hosting service best known for its outrageous TV ads, went public on Wednesday with drastically different views for the company’s prospects. But investors had to be pretty happy with how the stocks performed on the first day: it popped over 30% in its debut on the NYSE. But there are still doubters, much of the analysis talked about how GoDaddy’s IPO went to pay off some of the company’s mounting debt.
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) will spend billion to buy a pharmacy benefits firm Catamaran, saying it is trying to control the rising costs of prescription drugs. UnitedHealth plans to merge Catamaran to fulfill more than one billion prescriptions. The deal will help the company increase its profits about 5% in 2016.
It took eight months after first asking, but Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) finally got the go-ahead from the FAA to begin the research of their Prime Air program. But the e-commerce giant still has a long way to go before it can use the friendly skies to deliver goods, while facing concerns over public safety and privacy.

“David expresses a belief that the electrical fields in space cannot account for all the plasma effects of the primer fields but offers no theory of what the driving force is. Basically David is using two bowl magnets to create a Z-pinch and induce the plasma formations seen. It requires that he input a massive amount of voltage to achieve these effects. So for him to say that electrical force are not the driving force is absurd. However or whatever his belief, Electrical currents in space are the driving factor and the only cause for non stationary magnetic fields. The movement of Ions and electrons flowing in opposite directions create the the magnetic fields we observe. Electrical activity in a vast cosmic circuit is the only viable explanation.” -Star0bserver
This is a good example of Ions and electrons moving in an electric field current….From our friend Matt over at the http://magneticuniverse.com/ here is a short clip…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S67fgVi510&list=UUgzpBcStegNmufLOP8Fcpyg
