Amazon, Target, and Macys are speeding up their delivery plans for the holidays as online shopping continues to grow. Some sites are including new overnight and same-day delivery options. Quick delivery is important for retailers as they head into the holiday shopping season, which can account for up to 40 percent of their annual sales. U.S. shoppers are expected to spend $61 billion online in November and December, according to research firm comScore.

These deliveries may include millions of new smartphones. Apple shares soared to a new all-time high with very strong sales of the iPhone 6. The company's share price is up 60 percent in the past year and Apple's valuation by investors is close to $700 billion. "Our recent checks suggest iPhone production of 60 million to 65 million for Q 4, consistent with our prior expectations," said analyst Chris Caso of Susquehanna Financial Group in a note to investors. Overall, the stock market's hot streak continues. Both the Dow Jones Index and S&P 500 are at fresh record highs.

Home Depot says it's facing more than 40 civil lawsuits following this year's damaging data breach. In a filing the company says its investigation continues, and that it's planning to introduce a new encryption system early next year.

The Food and Drug Administration is announcing long-delayed calorie labeling rules today. The rules would require establishments that sell prepared foods and have 20 or more locations to post the calorie content of food "clearly and conspicuously" on their menus. Companies will have until November 2015 to comply. The regulations will also apply to convenience stores, bakeries, coffee shops, amusement parks and vending machines.
