▼ + stars: | 2022-12-27 | by ( Richard Vanderford | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +3 min

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has barred imports from three companies, including a supplier to Western apparel companies, that the agency says could be using North Korean forced labor. China and Russia are home to the majority of North Korean people working abroad, according to the U.S. The U.S. is leading a growing movement by Western governments to preventing goods made with forced labor from reaching store shelves. U.S. lawmakers in both parties are putting pressure on Customs to tackle forced labor, Mr. Conklin said. North Korean workers labor in dozens of countries, with Pyongyang taking between 70% and 90% of their earnings in many instances, the U.S. said in a 2018 publication.

☆ U.S.-Backed Researchers Use AI to Probe for Weaknesses in Drug Supply Chains

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has approved research that will use artificial intelligence to delve into drug supply chains and probe for weaknesses, including foreign influence. Any overreliance on foreign inputs in drug supply chains could leave the U.S. open to dire shortages in the event of conflict or natural catastrophe. PREVIEWThe DHS-backed dive into drug supply chains will examine to what extent the supply of drugs might be susceptible to disruption. The new DHS-backed study will try to map out supply chains several layers deep, and potentially uncover previously hidden issues, Mr. Tuchman said. Consultant Steven Lynn says the pandemic opened people’s eyes to issues inherent in far-flung pharmaceutical supply chains.

☆ Wall Street is bracing for a potential game changer, but it's not the midterms
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN Business —Wall Street is waiting for the results of Tuesday’s midterm election like the rest of the world, but traders say this week’s inflation report may prove to be far more consequential to markets. Traders typically believe gridlock is good because it means one party can’t push through legislation that messes things up. Andrew Frankel, co-president of Stuart Frankel, agrees that a GOP victory is “baked in” and shouldn’t trigger a major market rally. If anything, Frankel said, it could be a sell-on-the-news event where markets retreat after getting confirmation of a GOP win. Multiple NYSE traders told CNN that the midterm election may be overshadowed by Thursday’s Consumer Price Index, an inflation gauge that has become arguably the most important economic metric of the month.

He’s an entrepreneur whose name often appears alongside descriptors like “wunderkind,” “savior,” white knight, “digital Warren Buffett,” etc. Then, in a truly unexpected twist, Binance said it had offered to buy FTX to resolve its liquidity crisis. The news prompted a brief recovery in digital assets but wasn’t enough to calm anxious investors. Other digital assets and equities tied to the industry, such as Coinbase, also fell. There’s a lot to figure out still, but we can expect digital assets to remain volatile until more details about the FTX-Binance deal are made public.

☆ ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ Review: History Muddied in the Trenches
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Fully understanding the war—who does?—may not be necessary in appreciating the disturbing, moving and sometimes too-beautiful production. But that production certainly puts a Teutonic tweak on history, sometimes to outrageous effect. Can a concrete room filled with the corpses of innocent young German recruits—who have all just been gassed—suggest anything other than the death camps of World War II? These sequences sanctify the historical position that the onerous terms of the treaty are what led to Hitler and the Holocaust. Just for good measure, one of the concluding murders in the film is committed by a French farm boy, avenging a theft of duck eggs by two starving German soldiers.

☆ A 24-year-old stock trader made over $1.4 million in 2 years. Here are the 5 criteria he looks for in a stock, how he finds his trades, and the key strategy he sticks to.

However, he couldn't make intraday trades because he didn't meet the pattern day trader rule (PDT), which restricts day trading unless a minimum of $25,000 is in the account. He recalls sitting at his desk all summer watching the stock market from his phone as he worked. He will then review the stock's market cap, which is important because larger can mean less volatile. However, there's a difference between a market stop order and a limit stop order. In August, he started trading again after the stock market began to rally and inflation began to tame.
