Finally! A US court has ruled that Microsoft $MSFT can go ahead with its planned $69 billion acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard $ATVI.
...Short positions in U.S. markets rose this month to their highest level since April 2022 as investors bet that the current rise in stocks will soon stop. The data was released Friday by S3 Partners.
...So I'm relieved, Dieselgate 2.0. is not happening.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Salt Lake County, Utah and Hillsborough County, Florida cannot prove that Volkswagen $VWA.BR violated their regulations against tampering with vehicle emission control systems.
...I don't understand why such a big car company would even try something like this. But I put almost no weight on it.
I recently saw a thread here on investing and India.
Shares of Indian conglomerate Adani Group plummeted on Friday as the company faces regulatory scrutiny in the US over the Hindenburg report.
As a result, Adani Group fell again by almost 9%. I don't know about you, but investing in this environment? Uncertainty, illegality, fraud, politicians throwing business to the rich as...

The environment is alien to us, which is probably why we are so afraid of it. Understanding such an environment will not be easy, it is a lot of work, but it could bear fruit adequate to the effort.
Intel Corp $INTC said its manufacturing division will operate as a separate unit and start generating margin!
But the company did not announce a new external customer for this business as part of its foundry services (foundry = a manufacturing facility that makes chips for other companies), a key part of Intel's turnaround plans in which it will offer its manufacturing services...

Could it be that Intel doesn't belong in the old world after all? I would also rather bet on a comeback. The $20 billion sounds good.
It's finally here! All you Intel $INTC investors, take heart 👇
Germany will provide U.S. chipmaker Intel with a 10 billion-euro ($10.91 billion) subsidy for its planned factory in Magdeburg, a source familiar with the matter said, capping months of talks on the project that is expected to be worth around 30 billion euros.
...So, as expected, we have a pause in the rate hikes!
However, Jerome Powell and the Fed now expect the Fed Funds rate to be 50 basis points higher than the current level at the end of this year.
What do you think?
They are doing well there and want to avoid the mistakes of the past. If it was like that everywhere, it would be good.
My favorite Broadcom $AVGO company is about to rock 🔥.
US chipmaker Broadcom is set to get conditional EU antitrust approval for its proposed $61 billion acquisition of VMware!
...It's definitely great news for investors. I don't invest in the company and I don't have much interest in it. However, as I watch and read, I think I made a mistake and will take a closer look at the company.
I'm taking a long look at pharmaceutical stocks right now, where I'm recently invested in $JNJ. But I'd like to add at least one more representative from that sector to my portfolio. Any tips? Alternatively, what do you find interesting in terms of price as well?
Meta Platforms on Thursday unveiled WhatsApp's so-called "channels," a feature the social media giant says will help turn the app into a "private broadcast messaging product."
...As @nikgab wrote, it probably won't bring them any extra big money, but the news is great and I'm glad they're doing other things.
Another reason why I'm not worried about TSMC's future despite the potential risk of conflict with China 👇
Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC said it is on track to open its first European factory in Germany and is discussing subsidies with the host country's government, the company's chairman said on Tuesday.
...So that's really good news if they actually open a branch in Europe eventually. I like the company too, but I left it because of the environment. Too bad, now I don't know the price, but then again maybe in 5 years it can be much higher. The initial purchase for 63$ is great! 👍
I somehow missed this, but Disney $DIS said Friday that it has removed certain produced content from its direct-to-consumer (DTC) services and will record a related $1.5 billion impairment charge in its fiscal third-quarter financial report.
...Volkswagen has decided to reintroduce its iconic VW Bus model to the North American market, this time in an all-electric version. This is to get Tesla to put the pedal to the metal with those buses 😄 VW is starting to grow famously in the EV space, both in passenger cars and now their popular buses.
Do you have shares of $VWAP.BR?
Again, the numbers are good, but the product loses quality. That's why I'm not investing in the company, maybe I'm making a mistake, but I'm sticking to my strategy.
HP missed earnings estimates and is down more than 4% in the premarket. I think the PC and printer segment will limp along for a while before demand stabilizes again. So if the share price continues to fall, I have a new candidate for the portfolio. I'll probably wait one more quarter to get more insight on demand, but as I write, I don't expect improvement anytime soon, which...

Great, thanks for the recap.
I have the same approach as you. If the share price continues to fall, I will also include this stock in my portfolio.
I think Netflix is definitely on its way to becoming a leader in its industry. But Oppenheimer's new price target of $450 per share strikes me as a good deal. The company is indeed launching a new paid account sharing plan, but that growth of nearly 100% in a single year seems nonsensical to me. Instead, I would expect a reduction in the price target given the market...

Congratulations to all shareholders of course, has anyone tried investing and betting on it turning out like this?
