On September 12 I read some intriguing articles from the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is definitely a media outlet for professional people. Its topics generally discuss world news, politics, and business. It is a very well put together outlet that informs its readers on what is happening in the world.
The top story was “Syrian Rebels Hurt by Delay.” It discussed the Syrian rebels’ struggle with fighting against President Bashar al-Assad. They wanted to overthrow him and sideline Islamist extremists. However, the rebels have not been getting the help they expected from the U.S. President Obama has put military momentum on a pause due to the proposal made by Russia and proposals presented by Britain and France. Now it seems like the rebels are giving up and accepting the fact that President Assad will remain in power.
“Patent Fight Erupts Over Kids’ Fad” is the next article I read. It appealed to me, because I remember all of the different fads that came about during my childhood. Rainbow Loom is suing Zenacon LLC, because Rainbow Loom is claiming that Zenacon LLC copied its idea for a clip that kids can use to make rubber band wrist bands.
The last article I read was “As ‘Derek’ debuts, Netflix slips on downgrades.” It was about how most stock analyst are saying that Netflix’s stock price is leveling out. At just over $300 a share, Netlfix has more than tripled its share price from the beginning of the year, and analysts are saying that it will not increase anymore. This article was very interesting to me, because I am interested in the stock market, and I own a Netflix account.
