Marketplace Morning Report for Thursday, April 30, 2015
Airing on Thursday, April 30, 2015: There's news the Wall Street powerhouse known as Goldman Sachs is investing heavily in Bitcoin. We look at why is a financial services titan going so "indie" by embracing a digital virtual currency. Next, for the first time in decades, the draft will be held outside New York, in Chicago. The city went after the event, which will be a three-day NFL marketing extravaganza as if it were the Olympics. We explore what’s in it for Chicago, and of course, what’s in it for the NFL. Plus, word is Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard boss, will launch a campaign for president probably on Monday. When will New Jersey governor Chris Christie announce? He's not even said he's running even though his public posture often has a candidate-like bearing. Which brings us to what is possibly a paradox. Marketplace regular and Washington Post columnist Allan Sloan and ProPublica have been looking into why Governor Chris Christie, fiscal champion, runs a state that's had nine credit rating downgrades during his tenure.
