Home Depot HD MSN Money Stock Quotes DJIA Index DJX DJI Stock Market Review Today Mid Day News

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Fear of a global slowdown have taken hold of the marketplace once again. Stock futures were positive this morning and stocks got off to a much better start this morning, just one day after the major index composites fell off significantly. It was a better start and economic news that posted after was just as positive. The jobs data, along with the newly lowered unemployment rate, helped to boost investor confidence and morale. It was a much needed reprieve from the trend of negatively skewed economic posts that had been piling up. It was short lived however. The weight of the global economy was to heavy to hold and the major composites in the United States dropped below breakeven once again. Then, just as quickly, jumped back above breakeven. It has been a volatile day in the market. Just after the halfway point in the trading session today, the DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were mixed. The DJIA was green by 1.20 percent at 11,520.37. The Nasdaq was red by .56 percent at 2,542.81 and the S&P 500 was green b .24 percent at 1,202.98. Individual companies are feeling the volatility as well. Home Depot stock is currently posting red according to MSN money stock quotes. HD is lower on the day by 1.58 percent at 31.20. The volatility is applying negative pressure to stock values.

How Much Does Consumer Outrage Cost Companies?

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace The Internet has, if nothing else, democratized rage to an impressive degree. Even the smallest voice becomes a booming fount of vitriol once it has access to Twitter and a caps lock button. Where businesses found their products judged by the way consumers spent in the past, now the court of public Internet opinion judges goods and services long before they even hit the market. According to Mashable ‘s Chris Taylor, social networks like the aforementioned Twitter are fueling consumer outrage , giving people a platform to air their discontent where they had none before. He points to the recent hike in Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) subscription fees as a prime example of how loud consumer rage can get. Netflix’s Facebook page was slammed with more than 79,000 comments after the announcement of the price increase. An additional 4,000 comments were posted on its official blog, where the announcement was first made. That’s a lot of angry customers, right? Not that many, actually, in the grand scheme of things. Netflix has more than 25 million subscribers. Even if every one of those enraged comments were made by individual subscribers, they still represent a miniscule fraction of Netflix’s actual business. So, how much do these rage-fueled fiascos actually cost businesses? Netflix Subscription Hike Changes to Netflix’s subscription fees won’t take effect until September, so it will be impossible to determine just how big an impact the hike will have on the company’s bottom line until the end of the fourth quarter. Research firm The Diffusion Group has a decent idea, though. A survey conducted by the group in July estimates that Netflix might lose 2.5 million subscribers over the next quarter. Assuming those 2.5 million subscribers paid for the $10-per-month streaming and by-mail DVD subscription that’s being eliminated, Netflix stands to lose $300 million in annual subscription revenue.

Global stocks plummeted today and the carryover affect in the U.S. was debilitating. The Eurozone debt crisis continues to plague the global economy and fears on Wall Street took hold again.
