☆ The Trump Organization got an unwanted sidekick courtesy of a Manhattan judge: a court-ordered watchdog
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Donald Trump and the Trump Organization suffered a big legal setback in Manhattan on Thursday. In arguments before the judge hours before the ruling, Trump attorney Christopher Kise called the idea of monitoring "drastic" and likened it to "nationalizing" the company. In Thursday's 11-page ruling, Engoron credited the attorney general's lawsuit with having made a "compelling" case for fraud. In one, Engoron cited Trump's triplex penthouse at Trump Tower on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. Trump claimed on 2011 financial documents that the triplex was worth $80 million, the judge noted, referring to the attorney general's evidence.

  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Stocks' strong gains are just a bear market rally that will soon fade, according to Truist. Keith Lerner, the firm's top market strategist, made the case for bonds over stocks. Higher rates will keep hurting stocks — even if the Fed pivotsAt first glance, stocks have gotten cheaper this year. Tighter financial conditions have pushed the US economy toward a recession, and a slowdown in spending has been a drag on corporate earnings, Lerner wrote. Truist Bank"Even if the Fed does pivot or inflation softens, it wouldn't be a cure-all over the intermediate term," Lerner wrote.

  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Lillian Rizzo | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
James said she referred the matter to the California Attorney General's office. The investigation found text messages between the LAPD captain, top-ranking CBS executives and Moonves that revealed the allegations. The captain also worked with executives for several months to prevent the complaint from becoming public, according to the attorney general's release on Wednesday. Moonves left CBS in 2018 after allegations of sexual misconduct and cultural problems in the company. "As a publicly traded company, CBS failed its most basic duty to be honest and transparent with the public and investors."
☆ Goldman Sachs: These 20 stocks are boosting shareholder returns by aggressively buying back their shares, even as a recession gets more likely
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Here are 20 stocks that are aggressively buying back shares and returning value to shareholders. US stocks have marched higher during the earnings season, despite consensus Q3 earnings per share growth clocking in at 2% year-over-year instead of 3%. Buyback growth is down dramatically year-over-year and quarter-by-quarter. Note that buyback data is as of the second quarter and that not every stock listed has meaningful buyback growth. Stocks that reported negative year-over-year buyback growth in Q3 or are expected to see buybacks drop over 50% next year were excluded from the analysis.

  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Brenda Goodman | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +15 min
The monoclonal antibody, Synagis, is given monthly during RSV season to protect preemies and other high-risk babies. In the failed RSV vaccine trial, the chemical the researchers used to deactivate the virus denatured its proteins – essentially flattening them. Four companies have RSV vaccines for adults in the final phases of human trials: Pfizer and GSK are testing vaccines for pregnant women as well as seniors. Janssen, Pfizer and GSK each appear effective at preventing infections in adults for the first RSV season after the vaccine. The vaccines for pregnant women are meant to get newborns through their first RSV season.
☆ Women in venture capital are writing the rules of maternity leave and bending the male-dominated culture to their will
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Melia Russell | Madeline Renbarger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
And with more women entering the male-dominated venture industry, firms are being forced to craft maternity leave policies on the fly to accommodate new mothers. Forty years ago, the clubby male world of venture capital admitted so few women that maternity leave as a benefit was effectively nonexistent. "There is no playbook about how to take maternity leave or raise a family while also accelerating your career as an investor." Lux CapitalLike in many male-dominated industries, maternity leave as a benefit for investors doesn't come up in conversation until someone needs it. Though, the best policies, investors said, give women choices about how they operate on leave, rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all leave.
☆ Doubters swore they'd never give up their F-150 to go electric - but she changed their minds. Here's how
  + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Ryan Hogg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The F-150 Lightning has had 200,000 orders and helped create a new generation of truckers. The woman rising to that challenge for Ford is Linda Zhang, the chief engineer of Ford's electric version of the F-150 called the Lightning. The electric F-150 Lightning can also be used as a power source. Towing was the other major barrier, as many potential customers feared the electric version would not have the same power as the petrol-fueled equivalent. "The significance of the F-150 Lightning in modern automotive manufacturing cannot be overstated," said the AAA's Brannon.
☆ The co-manager of Vanguard's $48 billion income fund has beaten 88% of competitors this year by finding winning dividend stocks using this simple strategy
  + stars: | 2022-10-29 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Vanguard's Sharon Hill has overseen a fantastic performance for her $48 billion income-focused fund. She targets stocks with promising dividend growth, valuations, fundamentals, and sentiment. This market environment may be choppy, but her view is that investing in the right stocks with proven dividend growth is better than letting idle money erode under high inflation. "Dividend growth is one of the few things that has kept up with inflation as you go back and look over the decades," Hill said. "So when you go back and you look at the '70s, '80s — which is the last time you can actually find any notable inflation — what you see is dividend growth pretty much kept pace with it."

The Justice Department is investigating Sen. Bob Menendez , according to a representative for the New Jersey Democrat, five years after federal public-corruption charges against him fell apart. “Senator Menendez is aware of an investigation,” said Michael Soliman , a political consultant and adviser to Mr. Menendez, adding that he didn’t know the scope of the probe. “As always, should any official inquiries be made, the senator is available to provide any assistance that is requested of him or his office.”

☆ NFT Prosecution Sparks Debate Over Insider-Trading Label for Digital-Token Cases
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( James Fanelli | Corinne Ramey | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Insider trading typically evokes the idea of a well-connected investor using secret information to profit from stock trades. Now, a federal judge has allowed the Justice Department to use the same kind of narrative in a first-ever case about the trading of digital tokens—even though prosecutors didn’t bring traditional insider-trading charges. The use of insider-trading language emerged as a flashpoint in the New York case, which the Justice Department says is its maiden prosecution for insider trading of NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, which are digital proofs of purchase for goods such as art. Prosecutors allege a former employee of NFT marketplace OpenSea profited from nonpublic information by purchasing tokens that he knew would soon be featured on OpenSea’s home page. The defendant, Nathaniel Chastain, knew the tokens would rise in value after being showcased, prosecutors say.

While it's unclear if there will be a severe recession, there is one outcome that investors can bank on, Parker wrote: stagflation. The market is implying a nearly 100% chance of weak economic growth paired with rampant inflation, which is a nightmarish economic scenario. UBSHowever, Parker wrote that the market selloff still has room to go as tighter financial conditions hurt estimates for earnings and economic growth. Besides interest rates, economic activity is the biggest driver of stocks right now, Parker wrote. More broadly, sectors for quality growth include consumer discretionary, healthcare, and technology, Parker wrote.

But Jim Nelson's EuroPac International Value Fund has continued its dominant stretch. Last decade was a disappointing one for international stocks relative to their US peers, and the 2020s haven't been much better so far. But investors would only have half the losses if they instead got global equity exposure through the EuroPac International Value Fund (EPIVX). His responsibility is to give investors diversification away from US assets and exposure to foreign stocks in case they rally. For the EuroPac International Value Fund, he focuses on high-quality businesses that are trading below fair value.

Americans hoping that President Joe Biden won’t blunder his way into war with Russia can hardly take comfort from his history of poor judgment in matters of foreign policy. The latest news from China underscores how badly Mr. Biden misjudged the tyrant who has now consolidated power in Beijing. The Journal’s Rebecca Feng reports that on Monday foreign investors were fleeing Chinese stocks and it’s easy to see why.

Goldman Sachs shared the investing playbook it recommends following right now. Since 1974, those three groups have had the best relative performance to the S&P 500 during periods of weak economic growth, Kostin wrote.

Goldman SachsFinally, Goldman Sachs recommends that investors avoid the following sectors and industries: technology hardware, industrials, media & entertainment, semiconductors, automobiles & components, and materials. Those parts of the market are economically sensitive and will be disproportionately hurt if the economic slowdown worsens, Kostin wrote.

  + stars: | 2022-10-23 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
If convicted, the Trump Organization could be fined more than $1 million — but that's not the only potential fallout. The Trump Organization has said it did nothing wrong and that it looks forward "to having our day in court." The former Trump Organization chief financial officer must also pay nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest and complete five years of probation. When the Trump Organization and Weisselberg were indicted in 2021, prosecutors called the tax scheme "sweeping and audacious" and said it was "orchestrated by the most senior executives." "The purpose of the scheme was to compensate Weisselberg and other Trump Organization executives in a manner that was 'off the books,'" the indictment said.

Regular news consumers are familiar with the endless media effort to tie adverse events to businesspeople and right-of-center politicians. This column’s most celebrated alumnus entertained readers by satirically blaming all manner of random misfortunes on either climate change or George W. Bush. More recently this column noted how various outlets got carried away last month trying to claim that the intensity of Florida hurricane activity is man-made. One outlet in particular, the Washington Post, doesn’t seem especially eager to learn from its mistakes.

John Linehan of T. Rowe Price shared how he manages over $16 billion in assets. John Linehan, the chief investment officer for equities at T. Rowe Price, has encountered plenty of different investing landscapes in his 33-year career. Linehan, who manages over $16 billion in assets in the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund (PRFDX), is currently attempting to thread the needle between playing offense and defense. High, reliable dividend yields are vital to the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, Linehan said, but the size of the quarterly payment is far from his only consideration on that front. "We're looking for companies that have both an attractive yield but also attractive attributes beyond the yield," Linehan said.

Mr. Eastman said the communications were protected by attorney-client privilege.
