Yet for travelers, the standard airplane layout of narrow, forward-facing seats in tightly packed cabins doesn’t offer much in the way of movement. So what if you could squeeze in a workout — or maybe even a spin or yoga class — at an in-flight gym? “For most people, the future of flight will still be on large commercial aircraft,” Transpose project executive Jason Chua told CNBC. Beyond gyms, Transpose cabin modules can be stand-ins for spas, napping pods, gaming centers, dining areas, yoga stu

For a variety of reasons, the mixed track record of rebuilding projects suggests that the $1 trillion that President Donald Trump wants to invest in U.S. infrastructure by way of public-private partnerships may not be a slam-dunk for investors. According to data from investment management firm PIMCO, about 58 percent of the outstanding tax-exempt municipal debt in the Barclays Muni IG Index is issued for infrastructure purposes. Yet experts warn that, for a variety of reasons, most infrastructur

Mobile phone use has made driving more dangerous. Now some former standout engineers at Google and Facebook are using mobile phone data to try and make it safer. But when Jonathan Matus reveals why he founded Zendrive, whose software is used to analyze driving behavior, the pain he talks about is more visceral. When he heard that statistic about his home country, Matus correctly deduced the reason: more drivers distracted by mobile phones. “We can use smartphone data to save lives,” Matus told C

Macron and US Democrats reacted too late to cyber threats: Expert Thursday, 11 May 2017 | 4:09 AM ET | 02:59Governments are not doing enough to protect themselves and their country from hackers and online threats, according to the head of an Israeli-based cybersecurity firm. “Think about the effect when there is some kind of physical confrontation, they have armies and police and they will go out there and solve the problems, but actually today, governments do not have any cyber soldiers.” Simil

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes it’s “important” that President Donald Trump continues to tweet. Because hearing from Trump publicly will help hold him accountable, Dorsey says. Not everyone agrees with Dorsey, of course, which is why Geist asked how he responds to critics who say Twitter is simply giving Trump a platform to bully fellow politicians or to bash the media. Some have argued that Trump’s tweets violate Twitter’s harassment policies. He believes that, without Twitter, the kinds of ”

European governments are holding urgent talks Friday with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, alarmed at a proposed expansion of the U.S. ban on in-flight laptops and tablets to include planes from the EU. The current ban, in place on 10 mostly Middle Eastern cities since March, affects about 50 flights per day. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security organized a telephone conference with “key European partners” — France, Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Jenny Burke, a Homeland Security

American drillers and natural gas exporters may see limited benefits from the U.S. deal with Beijing to open Chinese markets to U.S. natural gas, analysts say. The deal, announced by the Commerce Department on Thursday, paves the way for Chinese companies to negotiate long-term contracts to purchase liquefied natural gas from American suppliers. Shares of Cheniere Energy popped 4 percent on Friday after the company told Reuters it has held “extensive negotiations” over the past month with Chines

But our experience convinced us that, contrary to conventional wisdom, any investor can pursue diverse management strategies without sacrificing profits.

The show Silicon Valley, with its all-male “incubator” of young, pot-smoking coding geniuses making and losing millions, illustrates the same issue. In this sense, Silicon Valley’s culture echoes the Wolf of Wall Street culture of the 1980s and ’90s. But while Wall Street today seems tamer—thanks to lawsuits and diversity consultants in every corner—in Silicon Valley the misogyny continues unabated. A potent shot of that Wall Street wolf-ism among Northern California’s venture capital boys’ club

That’s unfortunate because HSAs can be a powerful retirement savings vehicle. Keep in mind that HSAs have much lower contribution rates than workplace retirement plans. HSAs don’t seem to crowd out 401(k) contributions and may actually be increasing overall retirement savings among workers. Fidelity found that 88 percent of people who opened an HSA maintained or increased their 401(k) savings after they enrolled in an HSA. “It’s almost like savings begets savings,” Thompson said.

A judge effectively killed off any practical chance of Anthem merging with Cigna on Thursday as he declined to order Cigna not to terminate the deal. “I recognize that this ruling will permit Cigna to terminate the merger and effectively end Anthem’s path to closing,” he said in the hearing. Barring a successful appeal at the Delaware Supreme Court, the two sides will likely continue to fight over a $1.85 billion break-up fee and damages for failing to close the deal. Laster said that Anthem cou

When Canada Goose went public earlier this year, there were scores of investors ready to nestle the winter coat maker into their portfolios. One surprising IPO buyer was PETA, the animal-rights activist organization often thought of publishing graphic pictures of animals in distress and throwing paint on fur-clad pedestrians. The public may not think of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as the Wall Street types, but the group has a sizable portfolio that includes dozens of companies. T

I mean, Eaton’s passed them by and so has Parker-Hannifin, and I like GE more and GE’s actually no picnic. And I like Honeywell much more, so I’m going to have to say no. It had a good quarter, but you know, I do like Chipotle more if we’re going to stick with that theme.” I’m going to have to say don’t buy, and you know what, if it bounces a little, I’d cut some back.” 2U Inc.: “You know, if I’m going to be there, I am going to say Chegg.

As retail stocks drag the market down on weak earnings reports, Jim Cramer feels like some stocks will need positive news from Washington policymakers to see any real upside. But after competitor Priceline’s management team gave downbeat guidance in their earnings report, the “Mad Money” host became less certain about the strength of the travel arena. TJX: Off-priced goods have been the savior of this Cramer-fave retail company and parent of discount chains TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. Salesforce.com:

Press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that President Donald Trump was not threatening ousted FBI Director James Comey. Spicer explained that the White House communications team attempts to provide reporters with the most up to date information that is available. He said, however, sometimes the press office doesn’t “have the opportunity to see him to get his full thinking” before speaking to the media. Trump’s tweet about his press team comes amid criticism that the White House press office

The daily White House news conference rarely produces any new information. President Trump’s idea of issuing written statements is a good start. Follow up questions could be posted and answered on a White House communications website or emailed to the administration staff. We haven’t had a problem of sustained silence from the White House since Calvin Coolidge lived there. We often hear people complain or ridicule President Trump’s frequent tweeting.

The S&P 500 might just hit 2,700 in 12 months because of a largely ignored global recovery, Morgan Stanley strategist Mike Wilson said Friday on CNBC. “The earnings story is still underappreciated,” Wilson said on CNBC’s “Halftime Report.” However, Morgan Stanley’s optimism hinges on whether the Trump administration can push through tax reform. This gives the Trump administration a three-month window to pass tax reform by the fall. Tax reform is crucial to continued growth in the S&P, he said.

The strongest evidence came not from attacks by opponents but rather the words and actions of President Donald Trump and his aides. Trump’s troubles span every element of executive leadership:Legal: He fired FBI director James Comey as the agency investigates ties between Trump’s campaign and Russians who interfered with the 2016 presidential election.
