The Business News Headlines and More 12 January 2024

Greetings from snowy Des Moines, Iowa. The National Weather Service says 7.5 inches today…on top of the 4 or 5 we received just a couple of days ago.  Us?  We stayed in the studio and turned out this edition of the Business News Headlines. And, do not miss our conversation with a law firm celebrating 100 years of service. It's really quite good! Say, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today: 

• Houthi Rebels are disrupting trade;
• And it's going to cost consumers more;
• Wall Street closed mixed and why;
• The Olympics and beer makes the news;
• Big banks are bullish on the U.S. economy;
• The California Wealth Tax explained;
• The Wall Street Report;
• The FAA isn't done with Boeing.

For the interview we offer up a real treat. Our guest is Luke Mohrhauser the Managing Partner of the intellectual property firm of McKee, Voorhees & Sease based in Des Moines as the company celebrates 100 years of service. This is no hyper-local story but one with global significance.  To listen click this link.
