Hackers may have stolen hundreds of thousands of passport numbers, credit card numbers, addresses, email addresses, birthdates, telephone numbers and other data. Maybe Marriott should have hung those "Privacy, please" signs on all their computers.

Breaking news! (I always wanted to say that.)
Carlos Ghosn and Nissan have been indicted in Japan
CNN, Dec 10 2018 1:11 AM ET
Carlos Ghosn and Nissan, the Japanese automaker he saved from collapse, were indicted today on allegations of financial misconduct, according to Japanese media. The moves deepen a crisis that already brought down Ghosn, one of the global car industry's iconic figures. Tokyo prosecutors indicted him and Nissan for underreporting his income. Ghosn's sudden downfall began when he was arrested in Tokyo last month. He has since been ousted as chairman of Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors and temporarily replaced as head of France's Renault.

Johnson & Johnson shares closed today at $133, a loss of $14.80 (10.01%). JNJ stock is really taking a beating -- or maybe it would be more appropriate to say it's taking a powder.

Amazon leases 40 Boeing 767 cargo jets and will lease an additional ten in 2019-20. Through its "Air Amazon" fleet and 25,000 Amazon-owned delivery vans which have been ordered, the company will end its reliance on UPS, FedEx and the Postal Service to deliver its packages -- and when you order Debbie Macomber's latest novel and a Blu-ray of Crazy Rich Asians, you might get them within a half-hour!

Mattel shares are at $9.26 today, an 18-year low, and are likely to get much lower. The company will no longer manufacture action figures of Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Green Lantern and other DC characters and I doubt they'll be able to sell enough Barbies, Polly Pockets and Matchbox cars to make up for the loss.
