Rickshaw puller Yuka Akimoto breathlessly dashes down the streets of Tokyo under a scorching summer sun, two French tourists enjoying the sights from the back of her black, two-wheeled cart. Akimoto is one of a handful of women who have chosen to pull rickshaws in Tokyo, attracted to the male-dominated profession through social media, which in turn has given some of these female pullers a strong local and international following. “I don’t deny it was extremely hard at the beginning,” she said, as the rickshaw can weigh up to 250 kg (551 lb). “I’m not athletic and the cart felt so heavy.”Now, she says she loves her job and wants to work as long as she is physically able. A tag hanging on a cord around her neck reads: “I don’t want to give up.”

☆ Costco, Lowe's, Best Buy, and Tractor Supply are winning the battle against retail theft in a strikingly similar way
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Retail executives generally agree that retail theft is worse than they've ever seen. Even so, leaders from Costco, Lowe's, Best Buy, and Tractor Supply have said their businesses aren't so affected. The companies have five striking similarities that are helping them win the war on retail theft. "Organized retail crime is worse now than I've ever seen it," Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton told Insider in August. Meanwhile, a typical Tractor Supply location may have as many as eight people working in a relatively small, 20,000 square-foot store.

I married my husband when we were both 21 years old. We sold our first house for twice what we paid for it, and I found a way to make my English degree pay. We always wait for movies to leave theaters before we see them, and we've walked miles to avoid paid parking. This mindset has saved us a lot of money through the years, even as it shifted from survival strategy to muscle memory. Because honestly, I am pretty sure those younger, hungrier versions of ourselves are the ones who got us here.

Arm surged on its first day on Wall Street and has fallen every day since then. That followed a Bernstein "underperform" rating with a $46 price target earlier this week, and a "hold" assigned to Arm by Needham and Company on Sept. 16. Neutral and negative stock ratings are much less common on Wall Street than "buy" recommendations or other positive ratings. Still, the marketing automation firm's stock remains above the $30 IPO price. The declines in Arm, Instacart and Klaviyo on Friday were in contrast to a 0.3% gain in the Nasdaq (.IXIC).

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 21 (Reuters) - Arm Holdings' stock on Thursday dipped for the first time below its initial public offering price, while short sellers appeared to be betting against the chip designer just a week after its Wall Street debut. Shares of Klaviyo (KVYO.N) which debuted on Wall Street on Wednesday, finished up 2.9% at $33.72 versus the marketing automation firm's $30 IPO price. Suggesting short sellers are betting against Arm, about 14 million of its shares were on loan, equivalent to 8% of the stock's free float, data and analytics company Ortex said. Short sellers borrow stocks to short them, and the relationship between shares on loan and shorted is normally close, according to Ortex. Arm shares appear highly shorted compared to other recent IPOs.

☆ This month's three big IPOs gave up their early gains this week, denting market confidence
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Three highly anticipated initial public offerings that came to market this past week raised investor hopes that a nearly two-year-long drought in IPOs might finally be coming to an end. In fact, the Renaissance IPO ETF that tracks aftermarket trading in recent IPOs picked up heading into Arm's offering, but fell 2.5% on Thursday and is down nearly 5% this month. Market barometer IPOs are a barometer of market confidence as investors bet on the hope that they are snatching up companies with strong growth potential, said Truist Advisory Service's chief market strategist Keith Lerner. The underwhelming performance of recent IPOs is just another sign that the choppy market waters are likely to continue, he added. From that perspective, the recent IPOs aren't necessarily a sign of market failure, according to Sarhan.

New York CNN —As the US national debt passes $33 trillion and a government shutdown looms, Wall Street feels defensive. What’s happening: The gross national debt has grown at an alarming pace since then — by $1 trillion in the last three months alone. Political finger pointing around what caused the accelerated debt accrual, meanwhile, has left the government at an impasse around the budget. The recent increase in interest rates has already made it much more expensive for the government to pay back what it owes. That would leave the door open for another rate increase, which could come when the following meeting concludes, on November 1.
