News You Need for October 12: Obesity, Qualcomm, TSLA, driverless California, natural gas

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.

The commission also ordered Qualcomm to revise deals forcing competitors to provide sensitive information including pricing, customer names, and model names.”
