☆ Greenlight's David Einhorn builds new stake in this gambling name. Here's what else he bought
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Adam Jeffery | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn continued to pick up new stocks in the first quarter, including Penn Entertainment , as the longtime value investor struggles to find opportunities in the volatile market. He established the stake at an average cost of $22.69 per share, but the stock has fallen to $17.44 as of Wednesday. Still, Einhorn said sports betting, if executed right, could take the shares much higher. "Were the market to credit PENN with merely 15% of DraftKings' value, that segment alone would be worth $20 per share." Q4 buyer's strike Einhorn had stopped building new stock positions at one point in the fourth quarter, saying he was on a "buyer's strike" due to worries about intensifying geopolitical risks.

It’s likely to face legal challenges, which means its implementation could be delayed or even blocked in court, like the Texas law that inspired it has been so far. In addition to Iowa’s new law, Cid says several recent immigration proposals in the state failed to clear the legislature. This bill gives Iowa law enforcement the power to do what he is unwilling to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books. A similar trend unfolded after Arizona passed a controversial immigration law in 2010, says Anand Balakrishnan, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrant Rights Project. Estefania Mondragon, executive director of PODER of Idaho, hopes a proposed immigration law won't pass there.

In Saturday’s attack, 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles were fired toward Israel, according to Israeli military officials.

My salary journey in Big Tech has seen my total compensation — which includes base salary, bonuses, and stocks — increase from $15,000 in 2012 to $685,000 in 2024. I'm a staff software engineer and have worked at three different tech companies, moving from Oracle to Apple to Meta. In California, labor laws make it illegal for employers to ask you about your current salary and salary history. That could involve switching from a non-tech job to a tech job or taking a short-term hit for long-term gain. Unless the employer offers a significant pay bump along the way, total compensation usually takes a drop after this vesting period.

☆ Ukraine is in a race to stop Russia's mounting glide-bomb attacks

Short flight times, small radar signatures, and non-ballistic trajectories make glide bombs particularly difficult to intercept as well. "When the Ukrainian air-defense bandwidth is all tied up, they then move in with the fixed-wing aircraft to conduct these glide-bomb attacks," he said. This includes the 1,100-pound FAB-500, 3,300-pound FAB-1500, and 6,600-pound FAB-3000 bombs — all of which can be modified and turned into glide bombs. "That makes the mission planning for attacks with standoff weapons that can hit fixed targets, like the glide bombs, quite practical," he explained. And it won't be entirely the fault of glide bombs — Kyiv needs all the tools its forces can get right now.
