iRadio (AAPL) is "still bogged down in licensing talks," music industry sources tell The Verge's Greg Sandoval. In addition to Sony (already reported to have rejected Apple's licensing terms), BMG is said to be holding out for a better deal; one has reportedly been signed with Universal. Apple's interest in offering on-demand options not found on Pandora (P) and other Web radio services has reportedly complicated talks. Past reports stated Apple is aiming for a summer launch.

Hold on! Just yesterday SA ran an article in which the author said that Apple's upcoming radio will be "like Pandora's."
Clearly this author did not have his facts straight.

Gene Jaquet,
I am looking long term with the MLPs. I sold some Apple (will this ever stop yo-yo-ing) and entered into a position od EPD. I will add shares over time, as I do with all of my long positions.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it! I am not a Cramer fan, but every once in a while he has something that I can learn from on his show.

Gene Jaquet,
Mr. Cramer has been behind (KMP) for a number of years, if I am not mistaken...don't bail out on it because of the "Cramer Effect." Shoe-shine boy...now I have the Johnny Cash song "Get Rythm" stuck in my head. http://bit.ly/12GZHty
I am considering (EPD) in the near future. There is plenty of room to run with these MLPs.

(NBG) up 19% pre-market. Will this rocket come crashing to the ground?
Killer454,
I am not a tax expert and hope someone here could clear up the MLP tax concerns.
I believe that if the MLP is held in an account which is not considered a "retirement" account, then there are different tax rates. (?) I could be way off base on this. I am looking to add an MLP or two to my portfolio in the near future.

bgold1955,
I have been in and out of (NBG) for a number of years. I opened a speculative position on Monday. Missed the first run-up, but caught the last few days of action. I have no illusions that this stock will hold current levels. Rumors and private investments in (NBG) pushed this stock up very quickly.

MLPs for $200 Alex. An interesting look at pipeline MLPs. http://bit.ly/111ywqy Not sure how many WSB readers have gone this route, but these seem like a solid play on the energy movement in the US. Thoughts?
How much did JCPs ex-CEO really cost this company? The hurt continues. I have not been in a JCP in years and have no intentions of visiting to see the "new and improved" stores.
Is there money to be made by investing in Greece? (NBG) has been on a roll the last few days. What is going on over there?
I saw a short USPS report that said the postal service continues to lose money. What shocking news! It seems like that we went down this road over a year ago and nothing has changed to fix the leak. It's just money...right?
Where is Jon Corzine and is he really the top candidate to fill the IRS leadership role?
Happy Victoria Day (Monday) to those in Canada. The Peace Bridge was already backed up this a.m. Big weekend for retail in Niagara region.

Maybe Hillary Clinton has returned to the Empire State, her home-away-from-home? "Upstaters" loved Hillary and how she used NY as her "home." She could be hiding in Jon Corzine's Hamptons boathouse.
The use of smoke and mirrors is laughable at this point for anyone paying attention. The problem is that the average person in the US doesn't pay attention to matters like this, in my opinion.

Timining is everything, so it seems.
Take one head IRS guy who is ready planning to retire (I did not know this) and force him to retire. Problem solved. Go away those who question this administration, all is well. You have to love Washington, DC, or hate it.
Was the London Whale fella, Bruno somethingorother, ready to retire too or is this just a political smoke and mirrors stunt?

A fleeting Market Current had an person at Fitch claiming that those companies involved in the oil price collusion investigation (STO, BP, etc) would be facing fines in the Libor scandal range. Also, said companies would suffer a ratings drop. YIKES!
When was Fitch granted the power to levy fines? Will the mysterious person at Fitch state for the record that if any of the companies are not guilty that their rating will be boosted? Get out from behind the curtain and go on record!
The White House has found the fall-guy at the IRS. That didn't take long. We have seen what "taking one for the team" looks like.
An interesting comment thread on Apple "boasting" about reaching 50B downloads. This was followed by news of Susquehannah downgrading apple and how well google was doing. I questioned the use of the word "boasting" and ruffled a few feathers with a SA editor.
Where is Jon Corzine and is his Sunfish ready for the Hamptons sailing season?
App store downloads have topped 50B, Apple (AAPL) boasts. The announcement comes 14 months after downloads hit 25B. Google announced earlier today Play downloads have passed 48B and totaled 2.5B last month. ABI estimated in March Apple's 2013 App Store revenue (exc. payouts) would be near $4.9B. Also: Susquehanna has started coverage with a Hold and $480 PT: the firm thinks a bigger iPhone is crucial (it doesn't expect one at least until Q1 2014), and worries iPad sales could miss consensus.

No reason to feel "sorry" for me, Mr. Editor. I am doing just fine and am glad you took time to respond.
How about a response to including the Susquehanna "news?"
Fitch Ratings warns of massive fines along the lines of UBS' $1.5B Libor settlement if an EC probe into oil price manipulation finds any wrongdoing. While oil company balance sheets likely would absorb any fines thanks to big cash reserves, an offender "could face longer-term risks from damage to reputation," Fitch says, noting BP's exclusion from some business in the Gulf of Mexico after the Macondo spill. [View news story]
Pssst....Fitch does not have the power to levy fines.
Perhaps the unnamed spokesman from Fitch could come out from behind the curtain and go on record.

What happens if the collusion charges are not true?
What does Fitch do then? Up the ratings of those being probed?
How irrelevant are the ratings agencies at this point?

Here is what is being said about Apple's iRadio.
Notice the difference from Pandora?
Where is the author to defend what he wrote as fact when several days later it is shown to be something that he made up?
Step up to the plate and say: "My bad." ( this makes everything better for todays teenagers )

I bought (EPD). Time to get in some MLPs for me.
Great comment on ORB!
(NBG) is speculative. I have made some money the last few days and will look to exit with my shirt still on!
Have a great weekend.
