Just When Wall St. Thought Things At Motorola (MOT) Could Not Get Worse...

Motorola (MOT), mocked and ridiculed for being badly run for the last two years, has now let another 3,000 people go, two-thirds of them from the company’s failed handset business which only sold 25 million units last quarter and managed to lose $840 million on a 31% drop in revenue. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Motorola today said it will not spin-off its handset division to shareholders as planned.
Now all the lay-offs can be done by a single company instead of two. It requires fewer human resource people that way. MOT has two CEOs in contemplation of breaking the firm into pieces. Each of them will keep his job whether the firm needs them or not.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)
If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.
Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.
But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
