☆ Analysis: Icahn's mark-up of meat packager extraordinary but possible, experts say
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Koh Gui Qing | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Hindenburg said Icahn Enterprises LP (IEP) (IEP.O) valued a meat packing company in which it owns a 90% stake three times over its market value. IEP cited "the lack of material trading volume" in Viskase's stock as grounds for the valuation mark-up in the filing. Viskase's shares are traded in the over-the-counter market rather than a major exchange such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. On Thursday, IEP said after the stock market closed that it would preserve its dividend at $2 per unit for the first quarter. IEP's stock rose 10% in afterhours trading on the announcement.

☆ These are the 9 least expensive states to start a business—none of them are in the northeast
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Nevada tops this ranking as the least expensive U.S. state to start a small business, due to factors like an abundance of available commercial space and the state's lack of corporate income tax. Small business loans were also widely available in those two states in 2020, the most recent year with complete Small Business Administration data. Arkansas small businesses received nearly $43 million in loans per 100,000 residents that year, the sixth-highest of any state. Some states offer tax credits for businesses in specific industries, which could help some startups and not others. "For entrepreneurs who have the ability to pick and choose where they want to start their business, it's clear that certain states will allow you to save money," the ranking noted.
☆ Why Stock-Market Investors Can No Longer Count on the ‘Index Effect’
  + stars: | 2023-04-08 | by ( Daisy Maxey | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The disappearance of the ‘index effect’ might have one positive: It shows that financial markets have become more efficient. A new study concludes that—at least in the case of the S&P 500—the small rise in share value that once accompanied a stock’s addition to the index has disappeared on average over the past decade. This disappearance of the well-known “index effect” has occurred despite an increase in the amount of money tracking the S&P 500 over the period, says Robin Greenwood, professor of finance and banking at Harvard Business School. He co-wrote the working paper, “The Disappearing Index Effect,” with Marco Sammon, assistant professor of business administration at Harvard Business School.

Before becoming a billionaire, Mark Cuban slummed it in an apartment with five other guys, sleeping on the floor and using "nasty" towels taken from a Motel 6. Those circumstances may seem pretty bleak, but they're exactly what drove Cuban to put his all into entrepreneurship. Cuban, who has an estimated net worth of $6.5 billion, referenced his "Shark Tank" co-star Daymond John's phrase "the power of broke," saying it's "one of the defining elements" of any successful business owner. Most people consult with friends and explore their idea on Google, but ultimately never follow through, Cuban said. Disclosure: CNBC owns the exclusive off-network cable rights to "Shark Tank."

☆ Premarket stocks: Banking chaos could break the strong job market

New York CNN —The job market has remained strong even as the Federal Reserve has spent a full year attempting to cool off the economy by raising interest rates. But economists think that the recent banking turmoil may be what finally raises unemployment. Even with those big job cuts, the labor market in the United States remains white hot. Since the pandemic, regional banks “have provided a vast majority of lending to small firms, underwriting local small business formation,” said Philip Wool, an analyst with asset manager Rayliant. AI will likely lead to job loss, they wrote, but technological innovation that initially displaces workers has historically created employment growth over long haul.

☆ 25-year-old 'Shark Tank' contestant sold ice cream from a roadside tent—now he has a $200,000 deal with Barbara Corcoran
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
When Jeremy Carlson was a college freshman, he started selling ice cream cones from a tent by the side of the road. The cooking style, which he discovered during a mission trip to the Czech Republic, ultimately led to two brick-and-mortar ice cream shops called Crispy Cones — and a $200,000 investment deal with Barbara Corcoran on Friday's episode of ABC's "Shark Tank." Carlson's earnings as an Uber and Lyft driver, along with a Small Business Administration loan and $190,000 credit line, helped Crispy Cones move from a tent to a trailer to the two storefronts. Together, the couple asked for a $200,000 investment in exchange for 10% of Crispy Cones. Corcoran offered the Carlsons a more lucrative deal: $200,000 for 20% of Crispy Cones' equity.

Customer service and customer satisfaction with companies have been getting worse for years. Many companies have also moved their customer service options online and use automated systems instead of traditional call centers staffed by real people. US consumers have become more unhappy with many companies over the last five years, according to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, or ACSI. But many businesses also lack the tools to measure their customers' satisfaction. "It is difficult to generate high customer satisfaction under these circumstances," Fornell said.

And since he bowed out as Lagos governor in 2007, Tinubu has picked every subsequent winning candidate to run Africa's biggest city. That power will now be tested as Tinubu attempts to tackle Nigeria's crises and improve on Buhari's lacklustre record. Many of these problems worsened under Buhari, on whose party ticket Tinubu ran. A spokesman for Tinubu's campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment. A biography on his campaign website says Tinubu was born in Lagos in 1952, to a Muslim family from the Yoruba ethnic group, the majority in southwest Nigeria.

Higher-earning men with college degrees are clocking fewer hours at work. That's as men without degrees have been quitting due to perceived low social and financial prospects. Highly paid men typically work more hours than their peers, Yongseok Shin, an economist who co-wrote the paper, told The Wall Street Journal's Courtney Vinopal. Fueling that figure are young men without college degrees, according to the Boston Fed. Higher-paid men with college degrees have more financial mobility, and likely a stronger social self-estimation.
