All three major averages posted gains for the third consecutive week, lifted by solid quarterly earnings and positive economic data. Earnings season ramps up next week, with five of the Super Six mega-cap stocks delivering results. Employment numbers are the most important economic data, with Friday's January nonfarm payrolls report carrying the most weight. The January ISM Manufacturing report on Thursday and December's factory orders report Friday are expected to show the sector still in contraction mode. But earnings and commentary this week from peer Sartorious made us encouraged about a return to growth in 2024.

☆ Publishers Clearing House settles with US for $18.5 million for misleading consumers

WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) - Publishers Clearing House (PCH), which offers sweepstakes where people can win thousands of dollars per week for life, has agreed to pay $18.5 million and change its business practices to settle allegations it misled consumers about its contests, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said on Monday. The FTC had accused PCH of using "dark patterns," a manipulative website design, to make consumers believe that they had to make a purchase to win or to have a better chance of winning. The agency said that it also added surprise shipping charges to purchases, among other allegations. PCH had no immediate comment.

Dark patterns are a "manipulative" and unlawful design trick, examples of which include pre-checked boxes, hard to find and read disclosures, and confusing cancellation policies, the FTC said. When it included disclaimers or clarifying information, the text was in small, light font and overlooked by consumers, the FTC claimed. In addition to sweepstakes, PCH also sells merchandise and magazines.

☆ How 32-year-old Katherine Homuth built the Y Combinator-backed startup behind the 'indestructible' Sheertex tights that are taking the hosiery industry by storm

Homuth had to find a brand new fiber and build her own supply chain to create Sheertex tights. At least that's what SRTX founder and CEO Katherine Homuth, whose core product line is Sheertex tights, thought back in 2017. Before founding SRTX, Homuth had gained tons of supply chain experience starting another company in 2011 called ShopLocket, which focused on ecommerce sales support. It took another year-and-a-half, but by the end of 2019, Sheertex tights were finally as comfortable as Homuth had originally intended. These days, Homuth is focused on expanding SRTX's product line, so that the company is known for more than just making Sheertex tights.
