Tesla stock rallied over 5% on Monday after a Morgan Stanley (MS.N) note suggested the automaker's Dojo supercomputer could bolster Tesla's market value. Hazeltree, which tracks 12,000 equities globally, said the second and third most shorted stocks last month were Charter Communications (CHTR.O) and Apple (AAPL.O) respectively. Those included investors with funds taking long and short positions in stocks: Diamond Hill, Leuthold Funds and Forum Funds. "Taking out a short position against Tesla, as Gates did, results in the highest return only if a company goes bankrupt!" Hedge funds were net short consumer discretionary stocks, which would include Tesla, for the year ending Sept. 8, according to the Goldman note.

The deal would provide holders of AMC common stock with shares worth an estimated $129 million to resolve allegations the company rigged a shareholder vote against them. More than 2,800 people objected to the settlement, which requires approval by Delaware Vice Chancellor Morgan Zurn to move forward. Rose Izzo, a Delaware resident who first invested in AMC in 2021, objected to the deal. The company's answer was to create preferred stock, which has traded at a steep discount to AMC's common stock. In February, AMC proposed a vote that would allow it to convert preferred stock to common stock and issue hundreds of millions of new shares.

Dan Izzo, founder of investment management company Blackbird Capital, said that though banks have been seen as a bellwether for U.S. earnings, markets today were different. Stock futures based on the S&P , Nasdaq and Dow Jones Industrial Average were up slightly around 0.1%. Upbeat earnings news from banks and large corporations may lessen the odds of rate cuts later this year, he added. At least eight top Fed officials are speaking this week, including three governors, and could generate plenty of headlines to move the dial further.

☆ ‘Confess, Fletch’ lets Jon Hamm show off his lighter side without Chase-ing the past
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-16 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —Jon Hamm hasn’t found many roles to rival his breakthrough “Mad Men” part, and “Confess, Fletch” certainly doesn’t either. “Confess, Fletch” doesn’t possess a whole lot of heft, but it manages to serve as an old-fashioned and playful star vehicle, carving out a version of the character that’s distinctive from Chase’s broader, more slapstick-oriented take. There are also small but playful touches, like Fletch wearing Lakers gear in, you know, Boston. Fletch might not really have any reason to confess, but on that modest level, the movie qualifies as a not-so-guilty pleasure. “Confess, Fletch” premieres in US theaters and on digital platforms on September 16.
