President Trump met yet again today with a bunch of CEOs, and before the meeting, commented that his administration “may eliminate” Dodd-Frank. As Michelle pointed out, in the past, such comments moved markets, particularly bank stocks, and for understandable reasons. Dodd-Frank insists the banks hold more capital as a buffer against loan losses, capital that could otherwise be put to work earning profits. The health reform debacle didn’t surprise me as conservatives don’t know what they want to

They form personal connectionsEven in a crowded room, likeable leaders make people feel like they’re having a one-on-one conversation, as if they’re the only person in the room that matters. Likeable leaders communicate on a very personal, emotional level. Likeable leaders truly believe that everyone, regardless of rank or ability, is worth their time and attention. Likeable leaders don’t act as though they’re better than you because they don’t think that they’re better than you. Likeable leader

Then I had a baby, went back to work, and really started to resent whatever marketing guru stuck that slash in the middle there between “work” and “life.” And at home, at night, my husband and I sat side by side, faces romantically aglow… with light from our laptops, doing work. Life seeped into work, and work crashed right into life, and it really wasn’t anyone’s fault that the pediatrician’s office was only open during daylight hours, or that a contract needed to be delivered on a Saturday by

Being physically dragged off a plane may be rare, but passengers are being denied boarding against their wishes every day. United Airlines is under fire after a video surfaced of a passenger being forcibly removed from a United Express flight operated by Republic Airways. Airlines are well within their rights to deny a passenger the right to board a plane, but they have to ask for volunteers first. If they don’t get enough volunteers, the airline uses a computer system to choose passenger to blo

Recently, better-than-expected earnings have sent the stock higher — but the Wall Street community remains firmly entrenched in wait-and-see mode. According to FactSet data, not a single research analyst has a buy rating on the stock; 11 rate it hold, and one is at sell. In a Monday report, Credit Suisse analyst Seth Sigman cut his price target on the now-$22.30 stock to $22 from $32, while maintaining a neutral rating. While such a move might be nice for those who buy now, it would be cold comf

Let, tomorrow, some analysts panic and downgrade and then you can do some buying. I think you’re fine, particularly with the 10-year at 2.2 [percent].” Transocean Ltd.: “Sell, sell, sell.

Using the charts of ExplosiveOptions.net founder and TheStreet technician Bob Lang, Cramer unearthed four strong stocks that seem poised to rise above political threats to their business. Several weeks ago, shares of Sage broke out of their consolidation stage and reached new highs. Lang also examined Allergan’s and Kite Pharma’s charts, both of which show the stocks consolidating their gains at higher-than-usual levels that could indicate some base-building. If Kite Pharma, which currently trad

The Trump administration knows it hasn’t gotten off to a very impressive start, with Shane Goldmacher reporting that officials are increasingly panicked about a likely impending wave of stories about a first 100 days devoid of major achievements and Maggie Haberman reporting that “some form of overall review” is in the works that could be used to generate a shake-up. Meanwhile, tensions between chief strategist Steve Bannon and the rising star of chief son-in-law Jared Kushner have been openly a

Somebody made a big mistake by dragging a passenger from a United flight, but the airline’s CEO did “exactly the right thing” by apologizing on Tuesday, former American Airlines CEO Bob Crandall told CNBC. In his latest statement, United CEO Oscar Munoz said the airline took “full responsibility” and vowed that a thorough review would take place. The confrontation happened on a United Express flight operated by Republic Airways. The incident has shone a light on the practice by airlines to overb

Another approaching Trump trade may also seem unexpected to investors: the April 28 deadline for Congress to raise the debt ceiling. Now, with Republicans at odds with other Republicans and the Democrats, Cramer wonders if Democrats will step up to the plate. “That could be another Trump trade, one that causes the averages to pull back as we get closer to the ceiling,” Cramer said. The Trump trade involves taking down a lot of put options and buying a lot of gold,” Cramer said. Mad Money Twitter

“Sean Spicer now lacks the integrity to serve as White House press secretary, and President Trump must fire him at once,” Steven Goldstein, the organization’s executive director, said in a statement. Holocaust Memorial Museum used Spicer’s gaffe as a moment to remind of the horrors of the Holocaust. At the briefing, Spicer pointed out that Assad dropped chemical weapons in the “middle of towns.” “In no way was I trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust,” Spicer said in his third a

Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler unveiled a new SUV to the company’s lineup at the New York show on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Tuesday. The GLC Coupe 63 S is a crossover between the company’s popular SUV and sports car line. With the AMG, a high-performance engine, you’ve got the GLC Coupe 63 S,” Exler told CNBC. And when asked about whether or not he sees the auto market plateauing in sales and slowing down, Exler remained positive for the auto industry’s future. “It’s possible, but there’s no

Defense Secretary James Mattis said Tuesday “there is no doubt” the Syrian government led by President Bashar Assad is responsible for chemical weapons last week that killed more than 100 people. “The Syrian regime should think long and hard before it again acts so recklessly in violation of international law against the use of chemical weapons.” Last week, the U.S. military launched a missile strike against a Syrian government airfield in response to the chemical weapons used against civilians.

Cramer: Here’s the only thing Jana can do to really boost Whole Foods’ stock 9 Hours Ago | 09:29″The legend of Whole Paycheck, with is image that only the rich can afford to go there, can’t seem to be shaken,” he said. But Cramer also wonders if Jana, now Whole Foods’ second-largest shareholder, can really make a difference in the company’s prospects.

Wal-Mart is eliminating hundreds of jobs in its latest attempt to cut costs as it invests in online. “It’s really a continuation of what we said back in January,” Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove told CNBC. In total, Wal-Mart has eliminated roughly 18,000 jobs since early last year, Hargrove confirmed. “Well over” 50 percent of the 10,000 of the store employees who lost their jobs due to last year’s store closures were also retained, Hargrove said. The Wal-Mart news comes just a few days after

Jim Cramer is not a fan of the flurry of initial public offerings that hit the market this week, and not only because the offerings themselves are, as he put it, “suboptimal.” “This is a holiday-shortened week with not a lot of room for any deals. Instead, we have seven. From a Brazilian airline to a special purpose acquisition vehicle raising money for assets in oil and gas to a coal company to a clinical-stage biotechnology play, Cramer was generally dissatisfied with the week’s offerings, see

Trump still has potential to boost the economy: SocGen Monday, 27 Mar 2017 | 1:19 AM ET | 02:27Just two months ago, Fitch Ratings viewed President Donald Trump as a threat to economic stability — not only in the United States, but for the world. One of the three major ratings services issued a mostly glowing report Tuesday about the state of domestic finances. Fitch, in a far cry from its dire warnings in February, both reaffirmed the sterling AAA credit rating for the U.S. and raised its outloo

Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest oil exporter and it has taken on the lion share of the cuts. “You have to question whether the Syrian situation has now become a proxy that divides them more than the low oil prices united them. On Tuesday, Dow Jones quoted sources saying that Saudi Arabia wants to extend the now six-month deal to cut production. Kilduff said he believes OPEC’s high compliance will be the result of Saudi Arabia cutting more than required. Watch: Oil market focused on productio

Republicans held on to a Kansas House seat Tuesday in the first congressional election since President Donald Trump’s victory, beating back a spirited Democratic campaign hoping for a big anti-Trump backlash. Republican state Treasurer Ron Estes will represent the Kansas 4th congressional district replacing Mike Pompeo, who Trump named as CIA director. Tuesday’s vote was in a heavily Republican district where Trump won 60 percent of votes in November’s election. Pompeo won re-election in Novembe
