Elon Musk

When billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk founded his private spaceflight company SpaceX back in 2002, he had two goals in mind: to reduce the cost of space transportation, and to colonize Mars. Mars colonization may sound farfetched, but Musk is serious. He hopes to send humans to Mars' surface within 10 to 20 years. Later this year, he'll unveil a Mars Colonial transporter.

Apple and Tesla Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) Might Have a Secret Plan

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

It now appears that rumors Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) had an acquisitive eye on Tesla Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) were just that - rumors.

Stock Market Today: These Stocks Are Still on a Hot Streak

By , Money Morning -

The major headlines in the stock market today include Europe putting a stop to the QE3 rally, another negative manufacturing report and a couple of stocks continuing to soar.

  • QE3 rally halted- After last week's Federal Reserve inspired surge where each U.S. market gained at least 2%, stocks opened lower Monday. The selling pressure might not last long though as investors are ready to profit off of the Fed's latest moves. "It looks like we need to take a small breather after the sizable rally that we've had," Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab Corp., told Bloomberg News.
