The creator and marketing company Triller is finally trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker ILLR. The company went public via a reverse merger with a Hong Kong-based company called AGBA. A reverse merger occurs when a private company goes public by acquiring a publicly listed company. That didn't come to fruition, and in December 2021, the company announced plans to complete a reverse merger with a company called Seachange International. Creators, brands, and consumers are the main cohorts that AGBA touts as central to Triller's business in its recent filings.

☆ Charts suggest bull market can continue if tech sector performs, Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday said charts indicate that the bull market can roar higher if the tech sector continues to perform, especially the stock of Nvidia , a leader on the indexes. "The charts, as interpreted by Jessica Inskip, are looking pretty darn good for the S&P and the Nasdaq-100, and of course, yes, Nvidia," he said. "We've got a much broader bull market than we had six months ago, but if it's going to keep running, Inskip says we need to see some meaningful participation from tech." While tech may not have to "lead the way anymore," it still has to "at least follow the leaders," Cramer said. To explain analysis from Inskip, Cramer examined charts of both Nvidia's and the Nasdaq 100 's weekly performance since last fall.

Tokyo Metro's initial public offering could drive momentum in the Japanese market and attract more companies into the country, analysts said, as China continues to lose steam. In Japan's biggest IPO in six years, Tokyo Metro raised 348.6 billion yen ($2.3 billion) after pricing its shares at 1,200 yen apiece, according to the company's regulatory filing on Tuesday. "I think both the Tokyo government as well as the Ministry of Finance, obviously, won't want the IPO to fail." Hyundai India also started taking orders for its $3.3 billion IPO in Mumbai this week, in a deal set to become the country's biggest listing. When asked if he thinks Tokyo Metro and Hyundai India's listings will open the floodgates for more activity, he said, "I do."

☆ Jim Cramer explains why investors should wait out 'sloppy' post-earnings trading
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-15 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer critiqued the market action Tuesday and advised investors not to trade when stocks react immediately to earnings reports, as some of these moves are not necessarily warranted. He said the action occurred as a part of the "quarterly re-pricing process" of earnings season. While he's against painting with broad strokes when it comes to earnings season, Cramer said he's not suggesting that there aren't important benchmarks and details worth paying attention to. "There are so many people playing with so much money — professionals who pay people fortunes to figure this stuff out — let them fight to set the price," Cramer said. "For regular investors like you, trying to trade that initial post-earnings action is just an easy way to lose money four times a year, like clockwork."
