Watch Coverage Of Barack Obama's 2008 Inauguration
January 20, 2009 was a historic day, as Barack Obama became the first African-American president in United States history. It was also a chilling time in the economy, as major financial institutions were still struggling and the country was bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month. The government's response was still uncertain, with many details of the bank bailout yet to be decided and an economic stimulus package still in the works.

The Government Shutdown Faces Lawsuits Over 'Involuntary Servitude'
The government shutdown is official the longest on record, and as a result, novel legal challenges are being filed against the practice of forcing federal employees to work without a regular paycheck. If any of them succeed, it could change the way the next government shutdown plays out.
American consumers could lose faith in the economy if federal workers don't go back to work soon, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned Friday.
"If this drags on into February, March, then growth rates are going to fall to a place where unemployment will start to rise," Zandi said in a CNBC interview. "That's fodder for recession."
Shortly after Zandi's appearance on "Squawk Box," the University of Michigan said its preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for January showed a drop to its weakest level since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.
Zandi said the economy was looking "wobbly" heading into the new year even before the start of the partial government shutdown, the longest on record, which on Friday entered Day 28.
"If you go back a year ago, GDP growth was closer to 4 percent. That was all juiced up by the deficit-financed tax cuts," he said. "Now we're down to about 2 [percent.] And if the shutdown drags on we'll probably go below 2 [percent.] And that's a key threshold."
The economic drag from a shutdown lasting until the end of the first quarter could be as much as 0.5 percent, Zandi estimated, though he hopes President Donald Trump and Democrats can resolve their funding differences and send the 800,000 federal employees back to work.

Vanguard Founder Jack Bogle's '90s Interview Shows His Investing Philosophy
Vanguard founder Jack Bogle was famous for making investing accessible to the everyday person through index funds – funds that match a market barometer like the S&P 500. His message was simple: why waste money on expensive fees and commissions for complex funds when market barometers often outperform them? That message remained remarkably consistent throughout his career.
Jack Bogle needed hefty amounts of brainpower and market know-how to put together the first index fund. But for investors wanting to cash in on his idea, it's become pretty easy.
In 1975, the founder of Vanguard Group, who died Wednesday, was able to turn a long-held belief into reality, namely that it was far more profitable to follow the market than fight it. Most mutual fund managers who picked stocks couldn't keep up with basic benchmarks like the S&P 500, much less beat them, he found.
So he turned his thoughts into action, putting together the first fund that simply followed the S&P 500, minus a small management cost that was much cheaper than the active funds of the day.

Why Apple And The FTC Are At War With Qualcomm
Qualcomm has been around since 1985 and pioneered vital components of the wireless technologies you use today. Currently entangled in lawsuits with both the FTC and Apple, it’s often in the news, but how much do you know about what it actually does?

But alongside Qualcomm's history of innovation is a complex legal history and it's currently entangled in lawsuits with both the FTC and Apple.

How Robinhood Makes Money
Robinhood, an investing app valued at over $5 billion, says it's trying to "democratize America's financial system" by making investing accessible to the little guy with free trades.
It's an eye-popping valuation for a financial company with opaque metrics and plenty of competition. The young company had its share of missteps as well, prompting questions of whether or not it can handle primetime.
Robinhood has faced criticism for business practices that allow it to offer free trading. It also botched the rollout of a checking and savings account feature in late 2018, garnering concern from regulators.
But the company's incredible growth and popularity with younger investors – more than 6 million users by the end of 2018 – means it could be a major player in banking moving forward.

What Will Cause The Next Recession - Mark Zandi Says Corporate Debt
Chief economist of Moody's Analytics Mark Zandi says the $1.5 trillion of outstanding student loan debt has created a 'crisis' for young Americans. It's part of the reason millennials are waiting longer to start families, buy houses, and launch businesses. It might also lead to the end of the US economy's 'virtuous' cycle in 2020.
To solve the problem, he suggests shifting focus from providing student loans to increasing the supply of education options – including trade schools, online learning, and community colleges.
Chief economist of Moody's Analytics Mark Zandi says America's immigration policy under the Trump Administration conflicts with the country's core interests.
He says what has historically made America's economy "special" is that it attracts "the best and the brightest" from all over the world.
He also says baby boomers' retirement will make welcoming immigrants a necessity in order to help keep programs like Social Security and Medicare funded.

Why Amazon Alexa And Google Assistant Are Becoming Omnipresent
Until recently, Amazon and Google competed for presence in our homes through their own gadgets: Smart speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home, TV add-ons like Chromecast and Fire TV and even home security systems like Nest and Ring.
At CES 2019, that competition was brought to a boil as partners from both companies launched dozens of products that will bring Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant into nearly every aspect of our lives.
I've been attending CES for more than a decade, and it's always home to all sorts of new doohickeys, from robots to health trackers and the latest in TV technology. While those things were all on display this year, too, I couldn't help but notice the massive presence of Google and Amazon, two companies that didn't even exist at CES a couple of years ago. That's because their smart assistants, the ones you can control by voice, are being built into almost every category of new product that was introduced at CES, from TVs to ovens — even lawnmowers and a toilet.
Google tripled the size of its booth this year, where it even had a roller coaster that brought riders through an experience that explained how you can use Google Assistant throughout the day, from getting directions and traffic information to ordering food and snapping a selfie.
Amazon had three different booths. There was one for "Key by Amazon," which showed how you can have packages delivered inside your house, into your car and — new this year — into your garage. It also had a booth dedicated to Ring, its home security system, that showed off a range of new products like security cameras and lights. Amazon also had an entire room where it had an array of products from its partners, including smart glasses, coffee machines, ovens and more, all with Alexa built-in.
Both firms also revealed how widespread their ecosystems are.
Google said that by the end of January, more than 1 billion devices will have Google Assistant built-in. That's up from 500 million in May, but a lot of that growth is because Assistant now ships as a standard feature on Android phones. Google Assistant is also built into 10,000 different smart home devices from more than 1,600 brands, the company said.
Amazon said there are now more than 150 products with Alexa built directly in — which means you can talk right to it without also owning an Echo — and more than 28,000 products from 4,500 brands that support it. That means you need an Amazon Echo to control the gadget. Amazon also said it has now sold more than 100 million Alexa devices.

Apple CEO Tim Cook On China, Wall Street And Innovation
Jim Cramer goes one-on-one with Apple CEO Tim Cook to find out more about what the company is seeing in China, where he sees growth in the coming year and more.
In its last fiscal year, Apple generated $100 billion in revenue that was not tied to what has long been considered its flagship product, the iPhone, CEO Tim Cook told CNBC on Tuesday in a wide-ranging interview with Jim Cramer.
"In this last quarter, if you take everything outside of iPhone, it grew at 19 percent, 19 percent on a huge business," Cook said on "Mad Money."
Apple's services, which include the App Store, iTunes, Apple Pay, Apple Music and iCloud, have been growing rapidly quarter over quarter. In 2017, Cook said he wanted Apple's services revenue to double by the end of 2020, a sentiment he reiterated in Tuesday's interview.
That growth, combined with the success of the company's wearable products and its ventures into health and wellness, could be a sign of what's next for the consumer technology giant.
Here's what Cook thinks about what's next for his company, U.S.-China trade, naysayers on Wall Street, Apple's ongoing dispute with Qualcomm, and the success of the Apple Watch and the AirPods.

Kohler's $7,000 Smart Toilet Has An Amazon Alexa Speaker
Kohler unveiled an “intelligent toilet” called the Numi 2.0 at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas this week. It comes with built-in surround sound speakers, ambient mood lighting and Amazon Alexa voice controls.
Kohler had a $7,000 smart toilet that works with Alexa. You can ask Amazon's voice assistant to raise the lid as you walk into the bathroom, warm up the seat on a chilly day, change the glowing lights on the bottom of the seat or even play music. Who doesn't like a bit of Bob Marley on the pot?
Most importantly, you can ask Alexa to flush when you're finished.

Inside Google's CES Roller Coaster
Google built a roller coaster at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, the year's biggest tech show. CNBC's Todd Haselton take a ride through it.
Google went big at CES this year, tripling the size of its presence over 2018. But the most intriguing part of its booth might not be the gadgets.
It's "The Ride," a three minute roller-coaster of sorts that tells the story of how you can use the Google Assistant throughout your day. I just rode it. Here's what it was like.
And, about three minutes or so after we started, we pulled back into the station. There weren't any wild loops or drops, just a curving track that showed us how Google Assistant can help throughout the day. It was fun and it's the most impressive booth experience I've ever seen at any trade show.

Apple's China warning is a 'canary in the coal mine,' says expert Stephen Roach

Apple’s earnings warning is likely ‘canary in the coal mine:’ Stephen Roach Apple’s earnings warning is likely ‘canary in the coal mine:’ Stephen Roach
23 Hours Ago | 01:16
Earnings season may deliver a wake-up call to Wall Street.
Stephen Roach, one of Wall Street's leading authorities on Asia, believes multinational corporations are largely underestimating the impact of the U.S.-China trade war on their bottom lines.
According to Roach, the first indication came last week when Apple announced that China is taking a bite out of profits.
"Apple is probably the canary in the coal mine," the Yale University senior fellow said Monday on CNBC's "Trading Nation." "There's likely to be more to come."
Roach, who was Morgan Stanley Asia chairman for five years, sees the trade conflict with China as the biggest threat to the U.S. economy and markets. If a solution isn't achieved soon, Roach predicts more problems ahead.
"To think that what affects the Chinese has no bearing whatsoever on an otherwise resilient U.S. economy I think, is ludicrous," he said. "This is a two-way relationship. The U.S. depends heavily on China. It's our third largest and most rapidly growing export market over the last 10 years."

How Starbucks Became An $80B Business
In its 47-year history, Starbucks has transformed from a single coffee bean store in Seattle to a 30,000 cafe international coffee power house. But massive expansion hasn't come without growing pains.
It's no secret that Starbucks has been struggling to get U.S. customers to frequent its cafes more often. While sales have been positive, the number of customer visits continues to stagnate.
Same-store sales, a key metric in the restaurant industry, have dwindled over the last 12 months as competition heated up and customers were uninspired by some of Starbucks' limited-time offerings. While comparable-store sales exceeded expectations in the fourth quarter that ended Sept. 30, rising 4 percent, much of that was due Starbucks charging more for its lattes.
Under the careful watch of Howard Schultz, Starbucks pursued a strategy of aggressive expansion in the late '80s and early '90s. By the time the company went public in 1992, it had 165 stores.
Four years later, Starbucks opened its 1,000th location, including international cafes in Japan and Singapore. Growth was so rapid that, just two years later, Starbucks opened its 2,000th cafe.
While unit expansion helped boost sales throughout the last two decades — Starbucks has had positive same-store sales growth since 2010 — the company has now spread itself too thin.
With more than 14,000 locations in the United States alone today, Starbucks has cannibalized its own sales. The company is regrouping and rethinking its expansion. It is expected to shutter 150 underperforming locations in 2019, three times the amount it typically does.
Compounding its problems are changing consumer preferences, an issue CEO Kevin Johnson has addressed with investors. People are shying away from sugar-laden calorie bombs, which happen to be one of Starbucks' staples. In 2015, sales of Frappuccinos were 14 percent of Starbucks revenue. However, in the first half of 2018, Frappucino sales were down 3 percent — and accounted for only about 11 percent of the company's revenue.
Making matters worse, Frappuccino sales also were hurt by a lack of innovation, analysts said.

A First Look At The Willow 2.0 Smart Breast Pump
Willow is a wearable and hands free breast pump that fits inside your bra. Willow's new smart breast pump, the Willow 2.0, is an updated version of its first device.
The Willow breast pump was one of the most talked about products at CES in 2017, since it was unlike any device of its kind. It's a wearable, quiet and hands free breast pump that fits inside your bra.
The company has just unveiled the Willow 2.0 at CES, which is an updated and improved version of its first pump.
I got to test out the original Willow pump when I was breastfeeding my daughter last year. I had a great experience using the pump, but there was a steep learning curve and it took a while to figure out the proper alignment. Plus, there were some reports of users getting injured because they weren't able to see what they were doing.
Willow fixed this with the new version of the pump since it's now transparent with a clear flange. Pumping moms will now be able to see how the pump aligns on their nipple and also can watch the milk flow. Before, the only way to see how much milk was flowing was to watch on the app. Moms will now be able to use the pump without the app.

How To Shoot Better Photos With Your Phone
You don't need an expensive digital camera to take great photos — the smartphone in your pocket is better than you think. There's a lot that goes into taking photos besides the camera. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shooting that will dramatically improve your results.
Time of day - Quality of light is everything. If you are shooting outdoors, the best time to take photos is during the two magic hours, just after sunrise and before sunset, when the lighting is softer and not as harsh.
Shoot out of direct sunlight - If you are taking photos during the middle of the day, avoid focusing on people in direct sunlight. Try and find a shaded spot where the lighting will be more uniform. An overcast day is also a good time to shoot outdoors as the cloud cover diffuses the light.
Capture as much light information as you can - The sensors on smartphone cameras have limited dynamic range, or ability to capture information from the brightest part of a photo to the darkest. To ensure you're capturing as much light information as possible, set your exposure (by tapping on your screen) to the brightest part, which is usually the sky.
Even if it produces a dark image, you can generally recover it using mobile editing software like Lightroom or Afterlight.
Composition - In photography, the rule of thirds is a guideline that helps with framing interesting compositions. Most smartphones have a grid feature you can enable that will help you align points of interests in your photos.
When you're taking pictures of people, frame them so that you're cutting them off mid-shin or mid-thigh. Headroom is also an important thing to consider. Try not to leave too much or too little empty space above your subject.
Try shooting at different angles to change the feeling of a photo. When shooting landscapes, try to capture something in the foreground to emphasize depth.

Why McDonald's Failed In Bolivia
There are over 36,000 McDonald's locations all over the planet, and the chain is on every continent except Antarctica. In South America alone, there are over 1,400 stores. But there is one Latin American country that flat out rejected Big Macs and McNuggets: Bolivia. Watch this video to find out why the American fast food chain had to pull back from the Bolivian market after five years.
The first Bolivian McDonald's location opened its doors to the public in 1997 in the city of La Paz. It was met with a lot of hype. “When McDonald’s first opened in Bolivia — I remember there were people waiting hours in line and in the drive thru to get to try McDonald’s for the first time.”
By 1999 the American fast food chain had 6 stores in the country. Its menu was tailored to reflect Bolivian tastebuds. The fast food chain offered things like “llajua” - a Bolivian hot sauce that was made out of tomatoes and locotos hot chili peppers. There was a tea made from coca leaves.
McDonald’s even tried to introduce the “McSaltenas” which was a spin on a traditional Bolivian dish known as the “Saltenas." Saltenas are traditional Bolivian empanadas that can either be filled with savory or sweet foods, but it ultimately did not reach the Bolivian market due to McDonald’s safety standards

How To Invest In A Bear Market
The S&P 500 sunk into bear market territory on December 24, 2018. A “bear market” is when stocks see a 20 percent decline or more from a recent high — but they’re also marked by overall pessimism on Wall Street. CNBC's Jeff Cox breaks down how to maneuver a bear market investing environment.
Since World War II, bear markets have lasted 13 months on average, and stock markets tend to lose 30.4 percent of their value. During those conditions it usually takes stocks an average 22 months to recover, according to analysis from Goldman Sachs and CNBC.
It's helpful to know what a "bear market" is, because based on history it looks like we could be here for a while.
The term on Wall Street is synonymous with serious, long-lasting declines in stock markets. In numeric terms, a bear market is a 20 percent or more drop from a recent peak.
The S&P 500 hit that milestone on Monday December 24, dropping 20 percent from its 52-week high. Markets have stumbled through what is usually one of their best months of the year, with indexes on track for their worst December performances since 1931, during the Great Depression.
Aside from a percentage drop, there are other, more emotional ways to measure a bear market.
Pessimism tends to prevail. When good news isn't enough to hold off sellers and despite solid economic conditions, markets continue to tank — that's a bear market. The glass-half-full scenario is often overlooked, and any positive news seems to be forgotten by the close of trading.
In December, oversold markets struggled to make a comeback, suggesting that investors are worried about something bigger. Still, economic fundamentals are not giving red flags of a recession, which is usually a necessary condition for a full-fledged bear market.

Trying to save your phone's battery life? Try something else. 🔋
iOS doesn't work like a traditional computer operating system — closing apps doesn't help your performance or improve battery life. In fact, it's doing the opposite, according to an Apple exec. The act of closing and reopening takes up more resources, he said.

Apple wants to get its Apple Watches into the hands — or on the wrists — of millions of people over the age of 65.
The tech giant has been in talks with at least 3 private Medicare plans about subsidizing the Apple Watch for people over 65 to use as a health tracker, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Health experts say that seniors are an ideal market for the Apple Watch, which has introduced features like fall detection and cardiac arrhythmia monitoring. It also makes sense as a business model for insurers, as seniors are a particularly lucrative market.
The talks have not resulted in any official deals, yet.

Many people have no idea how much they pay for Netflix — or apparently care. Consumers often underestimate what they spend on subscription services, like Netflix, Spotify and Amazon Prime. On average, people shell out twice as much as they think they do.
Whatever the cost, many consumers consider themselves “happily hooked.” Are you one of them? Let us know in the comments below!

Robinhood, an investing app valued at over $5 billion, says it’s trying to “democratize America’s financial system” by making investing accessible to the little guy with free trades.
Robinhood has faced criticism for business practices that allow it to offer free trading. They also suffered a blow during a botched rollout of a checking and savings account feature in 2018.
But the company’s growth and popularity among younger investors means it could be a major player in banking moving forward. This begs the question: Is this really that different than traditional brokerages?

Now more middle-class Chinese buyers are searching for lower-priced homes -- and they are using mortgages much more often.
Chinese buyers have been the top foreign buyers in both units and dollar volume of residential housing for 6 years straight, according to the National Association of Realtors. But the expansion to lower price tiers is new, and noteworthy for the U.S. market.

Born into a working class family on the South Side of Chicago, Michelle Obama says she questioned whether her humble beginnings would make her a good fit for Princeton. My advice to young women, she said, is that you have to start by getting those demons out of your head. She still faces some of these insecurities today, but she now notes: “I have been at probably every powerful table that you can think of, I have worked at nonprofits, I have been at foundations, I have worked in corporations, served on corporate boards, I have been at G-summits, I have sat in at the U.N.,” she said. “They are not that smart.” 🤯
