Few Headlines and Links:Rolling Stone magazine up for sale
The publisher of Rolling Stone has announced it has put its controlling stake in the magazine up for sale.
The 50 year-old magazine is best known for covering music and popular culture, but also features political journalism and commentary.
Founder Jan Wenner started the magazine in San Francisco in 1967 with music critic Ralph Gleason.
It has remained under the control of his company, Wenner Media, since then.
Rolling Stone has been a fixture of music commentary and US political life for decades.
But it is also well known for its iconic front covers, which were for many years the ultimate symbol of a music act's success and relevance. Cont @ http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41302854
South Korea's Markets to Take the Longest Holiday in Decades By Abhishek Vishnoi September 18, 2017, 1:31 AM EDT
If Kim Jong-Un were to test another missile the weekend after next, investors would have to wait another six trading days to gauge the full reaction in South Korea’s financial markets.
President Moon Jae-In has designated what is effectively an extension of the country’s Chuseok holiday period, with markets to be shuttered during the Sept. 30 to Oct. 9 break, South Korea’s longest in more than three decades. Tensions with their northern neighbor may be near boiling point, but that’s not going to stop South Koreans from some “rest and comfort” -- as Moon put it in his official statement -- as well as a bit of shopping.
Moon hopes the lengthened holiday will turbocharge consumption, providing a boost to the economy akin to China’s Golden Week or Premium Friday in Japan. But while the impact may be diminished by South Koreans traveling abroad, it should still be positive, says Jingyi Pan, a market strategist at IG Asia Pte Ltd.
