The Daily Money: Northeast battles storms and U.S. says goodbye to an iconic steel company

Happy Monday from Chicago, where it is windy and cold but not flooding (thank goodness!), unlike my friends in the Northeast. I hope they and you are all and safe.

In other news, U.S. Steel will soon trade citizenships. Japan's Nippon Steel agreed to buy the iconic U.S. Steel for nearly $15 billion in cash. In its heyday, U.S. Steel was the world's largest corporation, created by Andrew Carnegie, one of America's top robber barons.

U.S. Steel shares jumped more than 25% on the news. If your financial advisor had that stock in your portfolio, lucky you! Tell us about it. We're taking a survey of top financial advisors here.
