Episode notes

The Federal Reserve is looking like it might take its foot off the gas and hit pause on raising interest rates. Apple's first quarter revenues beat analyst expectations, but they also shrank for a second straight quarter. A jury in New York ruled that Ed Sheeran did not infringe on the copyright of Let's Get It On. If you own or operate a business, partnering with Bank of America could be your smartest move.

Apple said on Thursday that revenues shrank for a second straight quarter, the European Central Bank raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, and US regional banks suffered severe stock declines.
