According to Qualcomm CEO and self-proclaimed "gadget person" Steven Mollenkopf, there was a time when industry professionals doubted whether consumers would really use their mobile devices for anything other than placing phone calls. How wrong they were. These days we’re in the fourth generation of cellular broadband technology (4G), and the demand to stream video, use GPS and listen to podcasts on our smartphones grows higher every day. In this episode of What’s Ahead, join Steve as he talks to Mollenkopf about 5G—an expansion of data capabilities that could change how we interact with everything from our cars to our doctors. Also, Steve looks to the week ahead with a focus on the US/China trade dispute, the Canadian elections, the Syria catastrophe, continued talk of a Trump Impeachment, the anticipated Barr report -- and lots of financial numbers that help to understand the state of the American economy.  For Steve’s Read of the Week, he recommends three articles. They are: Joe Biden Isn’t Going To Make It by Dan Henninger, The Case For Free Trade Is A Unilateral One by Donald Boudreux and Mifsud’s Cell Phones Mean Barr Investigation Heating Up by Roger Simon.

Disreputable. To the suspicious skeptics, that’s the word that described Charles Schwab’s idea of a discounted brokerage firm during the firm’s nascent days. Ironic, considering Schwab’s goal then (and now) was to help individuals do a better job of investing in order to be a part of what Schwab calls “the great growth of America.” In Schwab’s conversation with Steve, hear some of the stories featured in his recently published book, Invested: Changing Forever The Way Americans Invest, about the many personal and professional stumbling blocks he navigated along his path to incredible success building The Charles Schwab Corporation, one of the largest brokerage firms in the U.S.  Steve also looks at the week ahead and speaks to a bunch of economic numbers, the upcoming democratic debate on Tuesday, October 15th, the travesty of Turkey’s abandonment of the Kurds and more on the trade deal with China and the China-NBA controversy. Steve’s “Reads of the Week” consist of two articles and a google search. Just type in “Southpark apology to China” for a good laugh. And, the two articles are: Painting Zebra Stripes On Cows Wards Off Biting Flies  by Ross Pomeroy and The FDA’s Outdated Standards Make Shopping For Health Food More Confusing by Ross Marchand.
