WeissLaw LLP is investigating whether LEAF's board acted in the best interest of LEAF's public shareholders in agreeing to the proposed transaction, whether the $8.50 merger consideration represents full and fair value for LEAF shares, and whether all information regarding the process undertaken by the board and the valuation of the transaction will be fully and fairly disclosed to LEAF's public shareholders.

  • LG's smartphone exit: who stands to gain?

    LG Electronics' move to exit its loss-making mobile business is expected to create more opportunities for Samsung than its other rivals in the lucrative North American smartphone market, analysts said. LG's U.S. market share currently stands at about 10%, research firms Gartner and Counterpoint estimated, adding it was stronger in markets where it partnered with telecom companies to include its devices as part of a mobile plan. "Apple tends to cater to the higher end of the (U.S.) market; so it might grab a small portion of LG's sales," Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen said.

    GameStop Corp on Monday increased the value of new stock it may sell from $100 million to $1 billion, as the U.S. video game retailer seeks to capitalize on a surge in its shares from a Reddit-driven rally this year. GameStop stock has rampaged over 900% higher since January in highly volatile trading as amateur investors organized on social media sites such as Reddit staged a stubborn buying spree, winning out over Wall Street hedge funds that had shorted its shares. GameStop's shares fell as much as 13.9% on Monday.

    Indian state refiners will buy 36% less oil from Saudi Arabia in May than normal, three sources said, in a sign of escalating tensions with Riyadh even after the Kingdom supported the idea of boosting output from OPEC and allied producers last week. Energy relations between India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, and Saudi Arabia have soured as global oil prices spiked.

  • South Korea's LG becomes first major smartphone brand to withdraw from market

    South Korea's LG Electronics Inc will wind down its loss-making mobile division after failing to find a buyer, a move that is set to make it the first major smartphone brand to completely withdraw from the market. Its decision to pull out will leave its 10% share in North America, where it is the No. 3 brand, to be gobbled up by Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc with its domestic rival expected to have the edge. "In the United States, LG has targeted mid-priced - if not ultra-low - models and that means Samsung, which has more mid-priced product lines than Apple, will be better able to attract LG users," said Ko Eui-young, an analyst at Hi Investment & Securities.

  • Here’s Your Second Chance… Don’t Let This Mistake Cost You Millions

    I have a friend who made one of the biggest investment mistakes of his life in early 2016. Source: Shutterstock He thought the investment case made a lot of sense. He was ready to put his money to work.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips But he didn’t… because it required a little extra effort. He watched the value of the investments he didn’t make soar. And today, he estimates that he could have made $1.5 million in profits. My friend regrets missing out on the cryptocurrency boom of 2017… a boom that minted millionaires… all because buying cryptocurrencies is a little different than buying stocks. 7 Cheap Stocks with Growing Tailwinds I’m not picking on my friend at all. He wasn’t alone. Many people missed out on a huge opportunity to better their lives for the same reason. Well, here’s another and I think even bigger chance. The next cryptocurrency bull market is already beginning … and I urge you not to make the same mistake. Let me say right up front that buying cryptos like Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD), Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD), and other altcoins is not as complicated as you may think. Altcoins are any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, and buying one is very similar to purchasing a stock through your online broker. If you can open a bank account or sign up for a phone service, you can buy an altcoin. But yes… it is a little different than buying stocks. Just don’t let that stop you from looking into it. When you think about it, A LOT of incredible investment opportunities take a little more work. But if we let that get in our way, we’re going to miss some of life’s great investment opportunities. Like cannabis stocks in 2015… Buying these new, tiny companies was a little different than buying regular stocks. They traded on different exchanges with different symbols and fees. Most people stayed with what they knew. Meanwhile, many of these shares soared more than 1,000% as cannabis was legalized in many places across North America. If you’re resistant to doing extra work, you’ll also miss out on amazing real estate investments that can produce decades of regular cash flow. While blockchain technology is about to make buying a piece of real estate a whole lot easier, right now it is much harder than buying a stocks. But if you know anything about investing history, you know that many of America’s greatest fortunes were built on real estate. Investing in great companies like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Uber (NYSE:UBER) in their early days also took a bit more work than buying conventional stocks. But it paid off spectacularly. Early investors made so much money they never have to work again. This is why so many people missed out on the 2017 cryptocurrency boom. Buying cryptocurrencies was a little different than buying stocks. But man, was it worth it. People who made a little extra effort up front made hundreds of thousands – even millions – of dollars. And people who didn’t ended up like my friend… sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else get rich. It’s a straightforward cost/benefit analysis: Doing a little extra work to make a LOT more money is worth it. When you think of investing this way, you realize that can actually be a good thing when an investment requires a little more effort. Millions of people stay away from the opportunity… so you get a much better deal. This is one of the great secrets of wealth. Rich people love investments that require a little extra work. Rich people get rich in the first place because they do extra work. With this in mind… my advice is to think like a rich person. Think differently than the masses. And now is the time to start. The gains made during the 2017 cryptocurrency boom were incredible… but what’s coming now is bigger. There’s even more money to be made. We are entering a new phase in the evolution of cryptocurrencies. I call it “Blockchain 2.0.” Bitcoin earned the bulk of gains during the first phase. But this new era belongs to hypergrowth altcoins. The vast majority of Americans don’t understand the true power of altcoins. They don’t understand why a little bit of extra work to invest in them pays off in ways they can’t imagine. Altcoins aren’t really cryptocurrencies in the way most people think of them. They aren’t “fantasy internet money”… they are actually investments in one of the most valuable, most revolutionary technologies ever created. And they will create a multi-trillion-dollar tsunami of wealth for their owners. We’re in the midst of one of the biggest revolutions to occur in finance in centuries. I hope you take advantage. I help my readers learn how to invest in cryptocurrencies, and they put in a little extra effort on their own to get up and running. Nothing makes me happier than hearing about the money they have made and how happy they are that they invested. My Ultimate Crypto portfolio is up 815% overall, and expect a lot more to come. That’s why we added two new altcoins in the last 10 days – one in the hot area of decentralized finance and another in the also hot areas of gaming and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). I just released the most recent pick yesterday, and it can be bought directly on a popular crypto exchange using U.S. dollars. I will do anything I can to help you avoid the same disappointment my friend experienced missing the 2017 crypto boom. You can do this. A little extra effort taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could also bring you once-in-a-lifetime profits.

  • Pioneer Natural falls after fourth multi-billion shale deal of the year

    Pioneer's fourth multi-billion shale deal this year comes as investors in the shale patch have called on producers to focus on cash flow and shareholder returns, rather than spending to grow, as demand remains low due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In January, Pioneer closed its $4.5 billion, all-stock purchase of Parsley Energy, giving it one of the largest positions in the Permian Basin, the top U.S. shale field. RBC Capital Markets said it was surprised Pioneer made such a large acquisition after Parsley Energy and that the rationale seemed to be part opportunistic and part defensive.

  • Facebook Hits Record as Megacap Tech Stocks March Higher

    (Bloomberg) -- Facebook Inc. shares surged to a record Monday, with megacap Internet and technology stocks rallying amid optimism about the strong pace of economic growth.Shares of Facebook gained 3.4% to close at an all-time high of $308.91 as robust economic data on the service industries supported an advance in cyclical and growth-orientated industries, fueling the S&P 500 Index’s gain for a third day.The communication services and information technology sectors were among the strongest-performing stocks of the day. Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, rose 4.2% and also surged to a record. Among other notable tech gainers, Amazon.com rose 2.1%, Apple Inc. gained 2.4%, and Microsoft Corp. advanced 2.8% to an all-time high.Shares of tech behemoths have broadly performed well this year -- despite a rotation into value stocks -- amid a strong vaccine rollout in the U.S., stoking enthusiasm of rapid economic growth. Of the market’s biggest tech names, Amazon is the only one that hasn’t hit an intraday record in 2021.“This old guard of tech has real earnings power,” Arthur Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities said by phone. “The companies will clearly continue to be a part of our lives, and it is a very defensible move to get back into these names.”Facebook is scheduled to report first-quarter results later this month. Wall Street is expecting both earnings per share and revenue to rise more than 30%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Facebook’s recent gains came after Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg downplayed the risk that the social-media company could see as a result of an upcoming change to Apple’s privacy policies. That issue was seen as a headwind, and a reason that Facebook warned of “significant uncertainty” in 2021 earlier this year.The company also got a positive mention in Barron’s over the weekend, which said Facebook is a “growth machine” and its stock could gain 20% if it returns to the average premium it’s traded at for the past five years.Wall Street OptimismAnalysts remain broadly positive on Facebook’s growth prospects, especially amid a recovery in the market for digital ads.“The digital world we’ve grown accustomed to over the last 12 months (and counting) may be stickier than expected, even amid loosening Covid restrictions,” wrote Citigroup Inc. analyst Nicholas Jones. Morgan Stanley recently touted Facebook’s valuation and fundamental strength, and forecast “sustained outsized growth.”Of the firms tracked by Bloomberg that cover Facebook, more than 85% recommend buying the stock, while fewer than 6% have a bearish rating. The average price target is $336, which implies upside of nearly 9%.“I have no problem being a buyer at all-time highs if the stock is at all-time highs for a reason, and I think the optimism surrounding these names is completely justified,” Hogan said.(Updates share price moves throughout.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Tesla shares surge after company posts record deliveries

    Tesla Inc's stock surged 5% on Monday after the electric car maker posted record quarterly deliveries on strong demand in China that helped offset the impact of a global shortage in auto parts. The company headed by Elon Musk said on Friday it was encouraged by the strong reception of its Model Y crossover in China and that it was quickly progressing to full production capacity.
