NEW YORK (TheStreet) — A Forrester Research analyst made news on Thursday for saying something I have been writing about for months regarding Apple’s forthcoming iTV or whatever the heck it’s going to be.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Facebook’s highly anticipated initial public offering helped the company raise $16 billion, a record for tech IPOs. It’s refreshing to see investor excitement rally around the stock, as the U.S. needs innovative businesses to thrive and attract capital.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (TheStreet) — Delta and US Airways are both trying innovative strategies for dealing with rising fuel prices.
The former bought an oil refinery, while the latter eschews the common airline industry practice of hedging fuel.
On Monday, US Airways shares closed at $10.71 after rising 6.5%, leading the airline industry. Shares have risen 105% this year, primarily on merger chatter, but appeared to gain Monday as a result of the unique approach to hedging. …
