I wonder how the cattle and hay market is? I saw that in ND people were selling off their cattle for cheap since they were in a drought. Which in turn would make the cattle prices go down, but then make the hay prices go up.
 
Retail Apocalypse Engulfs US Economy

You may not see it yet, but the scale of the retail apocalypse is so massive that it is about to engulf the US economy. As when a flood tide has crept around you on all sides while you were standing on a high spot out on the flats, not paying attention, you can look up now and see it all around you, and it is coming in rapidly. You can now feel the current under your toes.

Retail bankruptcies for 2017 also already exceed the entire year of 2016, and we’re only halfway through the year. One Moody’s market analyst writes that retailers on the credit-rating agency’s endangered species list looks like The Perfect Storm:One of the commenters:

"

47 million student debtors (13% of the entire population) owe an average of $38,000, for combined student debt of about $1.5 trillion outstanding (8% of US GDP). These debtors average in age between 25 to 30 years old. What a way to start out in life! 10 million now in default and growing, with useless degrees from idiot colleges like Evergreen and UPS.

Pensions being cut, and now the entire state of Illinois in “massive crisis” (comptroller’s words), owing 15 billion dollars to vendors and will run out of money on June 20th, 2017.

It’s going to be a fun summer. I can just feel it.

I believe I heard that if Amazon's stock goes to $1050/share, Bezos becomes the richest man in the world. Crazy.

And it's official today. That didn't take long.

 
Plus I'd bet there's some influence in the fact they got rights to sell prescriptions?  R.I.P  CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens

Their head is in the cloud - or Cloud?  Either way, it's primarily the Azure business driving this up I think.  I think all areas were up, but this is the biggest area for growth the company has - including business related products now being offered on azure subscriptions.   The more fricken consumer products I wish had been kept around that get killed off the higher the stock goes.

 
DQ is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, which of course is Warren Buffett. He'll be fine. DQ's franchises are owned by individual people who pay a fee to own the business. And that particular dude who owned 29 of them filed for bankruptcy. That would take a lot of coin to own 29. Berkshire Hathaway is one of the best stocks in the world to own by the way.

Speaking of Buffett, he made half a billion dollars yesterday on Apple's gains. Not a bad day.
