04/11/2018: Global markets are keeping an eye on Syria

(Markets Edition) After a suspected chemical attack in Syria, Trump said missiles “will be coming”  toward the country and that Russia should get ready. We’ll look at the market reaction to all this with Julia Coronado, founder of MacroPolicy Perspectives. Afterwards, we’ll discuss some of the pitfalls of getting a gas station credit card, and then talk about one of the upsides of Facebook in the midst of the Cambridge Analytica controversy. Despite the privacy issues many users have raised, some groups rely heavily on them to organize, including Native Americans. 

A picture taken on Sunday shows Syrian Army soldiers advancing in an area on the eastern outskirts of Douma, as they continue their fierce offensive to retake the last opposition holdout in Eastern Ghouta.
