It’s been another hectic week in news, and in the markets. Every day, another detail on the San Francisco plane crash emerges, strangely leaving the nation with more questions yet to be answered. The senate passed a landmark immigration bill, in which the house wants nothing to do with. Conversely, the house passed the farm bill excluding food stamps that the senate doesn’t want to touch with a 10 foot pole. Then, Fed chairman announced the delay of the QE to sometime in mid-2014. Reaction from markets resulted with a big rebound from Bernanke’s first comments. Also, did we mention the SEC voted to end a ban on hedge fund advertising? That happened. Here are some other shake ups taking place throughout the week we’ve had our eyes on.
