Notes You Need for November 9: SBUX, oil inventories, LUX, government funding deadline, gold demand

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. 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.

Without a new deal (most probably another temporary extension of funding authority) the government will have to close down after that date. (The deal to suspend the debt ceiling expires on that same date but Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says “extraordinary measures” will enable the Treasury to keep paying the government’s bills through the end of January.)”
