Notes You Need for November 28: Amazon devices, consumer confidence, Powell’s confirmation hearing for Fed, Cyber Monday sales record, Schumer/Pelosi pull out

I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. Blog posts are typically something like this from today: “10:20 a.m.: Amazon has reported the ‘best-ever’ holiday shopping weekend (Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday) for its Echo to, Fire TV Stick, Amazon Echo (AKA Alexa) and Fire 7 tablet. Customers purchased 2.7x as many Fire TV Sticks as in the same period last year. Echo Spot is now sold out for this holiday season. Bet Apple wished that its competing device was going to be available for the Holiday shopping season.”
