It isn't over until it's over, but United is banking correctly now, and Trump tanks the dollar. On purpose. Read on…

United said it would issue refunds for every passenger aboard the flight from which Dr. David Dao was dragged off by police. This represents a quickening pace of crisis management after a very slow start; CEO Oscar Munoz also appeared on ABC to express shame and embarrassment (and to say he would not be resigning). Dao took his first legal baby step, petitioning a court to order that potential evidence be preserved.
The artist who created Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull is trying to evict newly-iconic Fearless Girl, installed on International Women's Day to stare down his creation. There's lots of NY politics involved, but the irony is that Bull was guerilla art and Girl had a permit (both are now legal, Girl at least through Feb. 2018). Arturo Di Modica says he objects to Girl because her aggressive stance changes the positive message of his sculpture. (Photo: Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty
The US dollar "dropped suddenly" on remarks by President Trump to the Wall Street Journal, CNBC reports. "I think our dollar is getting too strong," Trump said, "and partially that's my fault because people have confidence in me." Trump also said he won't be labeling China a currency manipulator after all, because it currently isn't, and he hopes to collaborate to contain North Korea.
Also in Trump: The president said he "likes" and "respects" Fed chair Janet Yellen but is undecided about re-nominating her. And referring to United's crisis, the former airline owner said airlines should pay more to get passengers off oversold flights. "You know, there’s a point at which I’m getting off the plane — seriously,” said the billionaire. (Photo: DESK/AFP/Getty Images)
Hang in there United: Pepsico hit an all-time high after hours, a mere seven days after its own PR gaffe sucked all the air out of the room. Who can forget the tone-deaf Kendall Jenner ad that trivialized the Black Lives Matter movement? Wall Street.

7 年Seems to me if you turn the young lady 180 degrees it would change the narrative drastically as she boldly looks into the future with the bull behind/with her.

7 年It was a marketing ploy-State Street created a SHE account. If anything, I'd have a statue of a little girl standing on a step and reaching for a star. Dream big! Capitalism is a beautiful thing for all-regardless of who you are. It's not a gender specific thing, it's an idea thing.
