Wall Street

The Business News Headlines and More 9 April 2024

We kick things off today with a focus on a lackluster performance on Wall Street as investors become more and more anxious about the impending inflation report due out tomorrow. For the interview we'll be talking to real estate associate broker Wayde Burkhart about the housing industry and then take a deep dive into the history of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce now known at JCI.  Wayde is helping oversee a six state regional meeting of JCI Senators who will converge on Des Moines April 19 - 21.  And, yes, we name...names. Also if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:
Investors are spooked about the upcoming inflation report;
Laid off workers are finding a new career in creating...content;
A big time for theater owners in Las Vegas and what they are saying;
Get ready another price jump for first class letters;
Tesla stock continues to slide. Will the company recover?
The Wall Street Report;
And, which states have the most million dollar homes?
For the interview you'll hear from my old friend Wayde Burkhart who is not only a realtor (and we do talk about the market) but also a JCI Senator #63877. We're talking about some Junior Chamber of Commerce memories and about an upcoming event being held in Des Moines April 19 - 21.
