If history is the guide, you’re on your own.

The Fed has planted three separate warnings on high stock prices into its March-meeting Minutes, released last week. In the past, the Fed has warned on various occasions on high stock prices, with, let’s say mixed results. Stocks have crashed after warnings, and they have crashed without warnings, and they have soared after warnings.

Perhaps the most infamous warning on stock prices was when Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan on December 5... Читать дальше...

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — As Taco Bell's CEO, Brian Niccol has been unable to fulfill what he says is his customers' No. 1 request: taco delivery. 

"We still haven't figured out how to do it," Niccol told Business Insider.

"Could we probably just go do it? Sure. But it would just be OK," Niccol said. "OK usually ends up in a slow death. You buy a shirt, and you're like, eh, it's OK. Читать дальше...

The US accused Russia of having known about and trying to cover up the April 7 chemical weapons attack that killed 87 in Syria, while the Russia threatened "real war" with the US and its allies if the US sanctions Russia over its ties to Syria's Assad regime on Monday.

The Associated Press reported on Monday that US officials said a Russian-made fighter jet bombed the hospital where victims of the attack sought treatment in Syria's Idlib province in what American... Читать дальше...

I pack light.

I've traveled through Croatia, Greece, Spain, and beyond for upwards of 10 days at a time with one bag I can lift easily.

I know many people swear by rolling suitcases, but I like a carry-on I can stick under the seat in front of me that's never out of my sight — and the first time I tried to roll a suitcase uphill across cobblestones was the last.

If you ask me, packing light isn't about how tightly you roll your tee-shirts or sticking socks inside your shoes. Читать дальше...

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said Monday he is proposing to end a 2013 regulatory proceeding that had sought to lift the ban on mobile phones on U.S. airlines.

The FCC had said in 2013 it would consider allowing air travelers to make mobile phone calls, but never finalized it.

"I stand with airline pilots, flight attendants, and America’s flying public against the FCC’s ill-conceived 2013 plan to allow people to make cellphone calls on planes. Читать дальше...

"What happened with United was exceedingly rare," aviation analyst Henry Harteveldt told Business Insider.

What it means to live "comfortably" is, of course, subjective. One couple can happily travel the world on less than $30,000 a year, while another may struggle to maintain their preferred lifestyle making $500,000 a year in New York City.

Nonetheless, a good rule of thumb is to live by the 50-30-20 plan. That is, spending 50% of your income on necessities (like housing and food) and 30% on discretionary items (like travel and entertainment), and saving the remaining 20%. Читать дальше...

The plea entered Monday by the self-avowed white supremacist marks the end of his court cases and signals his departure for the federal prison system, where he'll await execution.

President Donald Trump called a planned $1.33-billion investment by Toyota in a Kentucky factory "further evidence that manufacturers are now confident that the economic climate has greatly improved under my administration," in a statement issued by the carmaker.

According to Toyota, $10 billion will be invested in US operations over the next five years.

Unfortunately for Trump, while Toyota's efforts make a good headline, they likely won't help the President much with his fortunes in 2020. Читать дальше...

Sergio Garcia has finally done it.

The US has concluded that Russia knew in advance about the chemical attack last week that killed dozens of civilians and is believed to have been carried out by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces, a senior US official told The Associated Press on Monday.

Tesla's stock has been on a tear.

On Monday the carmaker's market cap exceeded that of General Motors: $51 billion. This is about $15 billion more than where Tesla was valued for much of 2016. And it's about $7 billion more than Ford.

None of this makes any sense. Tesla's business fundamentals haven't changed substantially since late last year, and its first-quarter deliveries — 25,000 vehicles — set a sales pace for 2017 that will see Tesla produce about only 100,000 cars in 2017... Читать дальше...

White House press secretary Sean Spicer made clear Monday that defeating the terrorist group ISIS — not ousting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — is the top priority for the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump's strike on Syria last week had people wondering whether the move signaled a shift in US policy toward Assad, the authoritarian ruler who has committed atrocities against his own people. The strike on Shayrat airfield and nearby Syrian military... Читать дальше...

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says the Syrian regime would be "ill-advised" to use chemical weapons in the future, foreshadowing a potentially greater US response than the cruise missile strike that was carried out last week.
