Amazon Announces HQ2 Short List, Apple Plans Big U.S. Investment

Apple is planning to invest big in the U.S. economy over the next five years. The company announced a $350 billion dollar investment, including the construction of a new campus and the addition of 20,000 new jobs. President Donald Trump is taking credit for this move because of the new tax reform legislation. Amazon announces a list of 20 candidates for its HQ2. Some of the cities still in the running are Atlanta, Washington D.C., Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago, just to name a few. The company will make a final decision later this year. Shari Redstone is pushing for a CBS/Viacom merger. The media mogul is reportedly courting new candidates for the CBS board who will support the reunion. CBS and Viacom have been separated for more than 10 years, but rumors have been swirling ever since about a potential reunion. Plus, will SurveyMonkey pursue an IPO later this year? So far, no banks have been named to lead the listing, but sources say that talks are "heating up." The polling company was last valued at $2 billion.
