PODCAST: AK-47 rifle now in private investor hands

Fiat, Chrysler's largest stakeholder, is upset after Union push for IPO. Russia sells stake in maker of AK-47 rifle. And why California's dairy farmers and cheese producers aren't seeing eye-to-eye.

You haven’t been able to buy Chrysler stock since the 2009 bankruptcy. But that could change.

The Kremlin is set to privatize a stake in one of its most well-known brands — maker of the AK-47 rifle. 

California’s pricing system for milk gives cheese makers the lowest price for milk — a holdover from the Depression era, when making cheese was a way to use up surplus milk. But now cheese makers are dairies’ biggest customers, and still get the low price.
