The Apple (AAPL) supplier said it will build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the production of LCD panel products in southern Wisconsin. This $10B investment will create thousands of new American jobs, according to the White House. 2. APPLE: Meanwhile, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, President Trump said that Apple CEO Tim Cook told him that the iPhone maker intends to build three "big" manufacturing plants in the U.S. 3. SELF-DRIVING CARS: On Thursday, Reuters reported that a House panel voted 54-0 to approve legislation related to deployment of self-driving cars. Companies involved in the space include Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (GOOG), Apple and Intel (INTC), among others. 4. BORDER TAX: Also on Thursday, shares of retailers advanced after Republican leader backing tax reform said they were not going to include the border adjustment in the broader tax adjustment plan. Publicly traded companies potentially impacted by a border tax include Wal-Mart (WMT), Target (TGT), J.C. Penney (JCP), Kohl's (KSS), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Macy's (M) and Gap (GPS). 5. HEALTH CARE: On Thursday night, Senate Republicans failed to pass a slimmed-down package, halting the party's years-long effort to dismantle the so-called ObamaCare. Senators John McCain, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins joined with Democrats to oppose what has been known as the "skinny repeal." Health insurers had expressed concern regarding the passage of the measure, which would allow senators to postpone decisions on health care, saying the termination of the individual insurance mandate without other plans to get young, healthy people to purchase insurance could result in "death spirals," or cycles of increasing premiums and declining enrollment, according to media reports. Publicly traded companies in the space include Aetna (AET), Anthem (ANTM), Centene (CNC), Cigna (CI), Health Net (HNT), Humana (HUM), Molina Healthcare (MOH), UnitedHealth (UNH) and WellCare (WCG).
