MarketWatch reported on the Federal Reserve’s approach to letting the economy and job growth run hot, while Axios Pro Rata discussed the federal inter-agency committee CFIUS and its evaluation of national security risks of foreign investments in the U.S.

There was also some concerning news about Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.’s internal probe and review by the Justice Department, as well as a trend of technology start-ups slashing equity packages for new hires.

Another interesting story revolved around historical data on factors in the stock market and how they can change over time.

Additionally, there was a case of two ranch owners being sentenced for tampering with rain gauges to fraudulently inflate insurance claims, shedding light on the exploitation of crop insurance.
