Good morning! This is Fly Charts, the daily charts-only newsletter from Gadfly; sign up here. From Boeing's aggression to Twitter's bounce-back, here are four charts that tell you what you need to know in business today.

Note: Apple's services revenue included a one-time $600 million adjustment.

Trump's Market

Donald Trump loves to talk about the stock market. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to know the first thing about how it works.

Money Bags

And don't miss Gillian Tan on BlackRock's long-term plans: "It's a relatively unexpected departure for BlackRock, which has amassed trillions under management as a champion of low-cost, passive investing. But the move into longer-term private equity may be worthwhile because it gives BlackRock the chance to offer something that most firms in the industry can't: the potential for far fewer conflicts."
