Up at 5 and packed, read, and watched CNBC for an hour or so, which I haven't done in ages. It's fun to check what's going on in the financial world. It's all stories. Today, the talk was the Wall Street Journal's expose on Theranos, the blood-testing company that was touted to revolutionize the industry with pin-prick blood testing. Recently valued at $9 billion, the machines apparently don't work and the CEO wunderkind, 31-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, is now in the hot seat for apparently tampering with test data and results. After reading the WSJ article and the comments, it's going to be interesting to see if this company is just smoke and mirrors or on the path to innovation. Chipotle's stock is in freefall with the recent novovirus and ebola outbreak. Amazon is rocking as always. Disney should do well. It was fun watching the stock game.
Mom and I left Jill's at 2, had lunch outside Raleigh, then caught our flight at 5:10. We spent the entire flight playing cribbage, winning and losing and touching down in Phoenix at 8:20. Home at 9:30. Read before bed.
