• The ruble is shaking off Obama's sanctions against the Russian government

  29-12-2016 21:09 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The Russian ruble is seeing little response to President Barack Obama issuing new sanctions against Russia for its alleged role in election hacking.
  Obama called the hacks "malicious cyber-related activities" that were aimed at undermining the "democratic processes." He ordered the removal of 35 Russian diplomats from the United States in addition to announcing the closure of two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to "Russian harassment of Americ

  The laggards tend to outperform leaders by an average of 4.84% in January "as tax loss selling abates and bottom fishers enter the scen

• New York's incredibly expensive new subway explains why we can't have nice things

  29-12-2016 17:54 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  As President-elect Donald Trump is about to take office having promised a burst of infrastructure spending, it's worth taking a look at the newest, shiniest piece of infrastructure in Manhattan and what it says about why it's so hard to get anything big built in major American cities.
  On January 1, the Second Avenue subway extension will open about 100 years after it was first proposed — or at least, a little bit of it will, running from 63rd Street to 96th Street.

• Here's why Tesla owners love their cars so much (TSLA)

  29-12-2016 17:07 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Consumer Reports recently brought out its yearly Owner Satisfaction Survey, and Tesla finished number one, with a whopping 91% of owners saying they'd buy a Tesla vehicle if they had it to do all over again.
  That's an astounding figure in a highly competitive industry. It's like a Major League Baseball player batting .900.
  In practice, it means that Tesla owners are impossible to "conquest," or woo to other brands, a situation that all the automakers aiming to take on Tesla in the future sh

• The GOP might not repeal Obamacare until after the 2020 election

  29-12-2016 17:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  With the election of Donald Trump as president, Republican lawmakers finally have a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare, in their sights.
  But while Republicans control the presidency and both houses of Congress, a repeal of Obamacare may not come as soon as "day one" the way leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have said.
  According to Bloomberg's Sahil Kapur, there is no consensus among Republicans as to when a repeal should take place, but
