Claman on Call: Not So Lucky Day for Stocks
The markets were not so lucky on this St. Patrick's Day as the Dow and S&P 500 fell into the red, but tech pulled it out -- led in part by Facebook and Apple. Also, chalk one up for the little guys: Small cap stocks -- the Russell 2000 -- almost closed in record territory before pulling back just before the close.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Apple is taking aim at another great American pastime: Television. Apple is apparently in talks with cable companies to create a streaming TV service. The service, expected to come in the all, will offer about 25 channels and will be priced in the $30 to $40 range. Noticeably absent from the talks right now is NBC.
And the polls are closed in Israel, with exit polls showing Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud and the Zionist Union are neck-and-neck. Who will come out on top will impact U.S.-Israeli business ties and high-tech cooperation.
Don't forget, Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET we get the Fed decision and find out whether the Fed is "patient" and what that means for Wall Street.
