Malcolm Forbes Jr. told a Cedar Rapids audience that the 1970s created turbulent money habits with cash king and 30 day money. He forecast a shift to a service economy, microprocessor driven information revolution, new financial roles, and smoother transitions funded by planners and lawyers. He warned Congress against blocking this change and noted potential policy and monetary risks ahead.
The seven regional Bell stocks and the new AT and T opened on the NYSE on a when issued basis. Old AT&T traded near 63.50, while the new AT T started around 19, later drifting lower. Investors in Cedar Rapids were cautious, with many still confused about which moves to take and brokers urging selective selling or holding.
Blue-chip shares rose sharply led by new AT&T stock and its seven regional spinoffs. The Dow gained 17.78 to 1,268.80 as 26 of 30 industrials advanced while utilities slipped. Brokerages gained on anticipated commissions from the AT&T shuffle.
Emmett Scherrman president of LeaseAmerica Corp told 400 guests at the 25th anniversary dinner that the firm may evolve into a financial services company built on its core strengths.

LeaseAmerica, a Life Investors subsidiary, sits in an $8 billion group after AGO Holding and Ennia merge later this year. Possible ventures include equipment insurance and tailored equipment purchases.
