The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Sony Price Cut, Boeing's Dreamliner, or Earnings

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

  • A move by Sony (SNE) to cut the price of its PlayStation 3...
  • A look into Boeing's (BA) new 787 Dreamliner, which was unveiled on Sunday...
  • A push by IBM into "green technology"...
  • Concerns about foreclosures as it is said that a real estate slump in Atlanta is "offering a troubling glimpse of what experts fear may be in store for other parts of the country"...
  • Expectations for earnings..."Profits at the largest U.S. companies likely increased at a slower clip in the second quarter as rising interest rates and drags from autos and housing kept a lid on growth"...
  • Continued chatter about Dow Jones (DJ) as the board meets with Ronald W. Burkle "to hunt for alternatives to a takeover by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation"...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story, courtesy of a reader named Zak, is this - Man Robs Bank Disguised As Tree. According to the article "Police are looking for a man who robbed a New Hampshire bank on Saturday morning dressed as a tree"...
