BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) board of directors has authorized a first quarter 2019 dividend of $2.20 per share. The dividend is payable on March 29, 2019 to holders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2019.
Dow Futures Gain 178 Points But It's Not Because an End to the Shutdown Is Near --
6:45 a.m. The Dow Jones Industrial Average looks set for a higher open but this is probably a case of the market doing what it wants, rather than any particular news event.
Dow futures have risen 178 points, or 0.7%, while S&P 500 futures have gained 0.7%, and Nasdaq Composite futures have climbed 1%.
Some have cited talks on a an end to the U.S. government shutdown as the reason the market is higher, but the impasse doesn't look any closer to ending, and it hasn't caused much downward pressure to the market anyway. "Progress" on trade has also been listed as a reason, this despite George Soros warning that a cold war between the U.S. and China could become a hot war.
Instead, we see the move as just a continuation of what we've seen in January, with stocks that had been beaten up getting a lift, particularly because earnings and guidance haven't been nearly as bad as the market had priced in at the end of December.
How long it can last remains an open question.
GM EZ...….Back in From shoveling. Can handle the snow, but this below zero for a week cr*ap suxs!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay warm below the bridge,,,,,,,,,

Press Release: Update on Amcor and Bemis Transaction
Update on Amcor and Bemis Transaction
MELBOURNE, Australia & NEENAH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 24, 2019--
Amcor Limited (ASX: AMC) and Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE: BMS) have made significant progress towards closing the all-stock transaction announced on 6 August 2018. Integration planning led by a dedicated team of full time executives from both companies is well underway and preparation of documentation is nearing completion.
The process toward securing required antitrust clearances and other regulatory consents in all jurisdictions which are conditional to closing have either been completed or are progressing in line with the range of original expectations. However, in the United States (US), antitrust approval and completion of shareholder meeting documentation review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission have been delayed due to the partial US government shutdown.
As a result, it is now anticipated the transaction will close in the second quarter of calendar year 2019.
Good Luck to you and the rest of the crew,,,I'm taking Sunday off this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
