Shares of Macy's (M) were higher on Thursday after the apparel retailer reaffirmed its earnings guidance for the year. The retailer's earnings, excluding one-time items, came in at $0.17 a share, which was well below analysts' expectations. Revenue of $5.6 billion was relatively in-line with expectations. CEO Terry Lundgren says that strengthening trends across the apparel business, coupled with new initiatives like tech watches from Apple (AAPL) , Michael Kors (KORS) and others, are good indicators for an improved performance in the fourth quarter. Macy's confirmed its full-year earnings outlook of $3.15 to $3.40 a share. It sees comparable sales in range of 2.5% to 3%, which is lower than its prior outlook. The retailer also announced that it has signed a contract to sell a San Francisco location for $250 million. The transaction is expected to close in January, and Macy's will realize a gain of about $235 million in January 2018. The company has also partnered with Brookfield Asset Management to re-develop as many as 50 real estate assets.

As the first smart exhibition in the MICE industry in the Asia-Pacific region, exhibitors and visitors will be able to share, update and access information using NFC technology.
A content-powered lead generation solution, Konduko is transforming the world of digital exchange in busy environments using the latest in proximity technologies. Capturing interactions and data instantly, Konduko is revolutionising the way events communicate, allowing exhibitors, buyers and visitors to connect, contact, and carry out business in real time.
Konduko readers are placed in easily accessible locations on exhibition stands for visitors to tap their badge – by way of a ‘virtual handshake’-to give exhibitors access to details, at the same time providing visitors with information on the business or product. With information easily exchanged, all parties can share and interact with the content, maximising the ROI for all involved.
Jo-Anne Kelleway, CEO of Info Salons Group
Jo-Anne Kelleway, CEO, Info Salons Group commented on the benefits for event attendees when using all the functions that Konduko can offer.
“The exhibition industry is searching for ways to increase the attendee experience and interaction within our events. The Konduko system puts the power squarely in the hands of the attendee and provides a unique, personalised solution.”
“Konduko makes connecting with exhibitors on the show floor easier, there is no need to wait around for someone to be free to talk to you, simply tap your badge and your details are sent to the exhibitor for them to contact you,” said Ms Kelleway.

Apec's relevanceBy Rupa Damodaran
THE snow-capped Rocky Mountains' allure is probably an understatement for anyone flying into little-known Bozeman in Montana, the rugged western state of the US.
The alpine ski resort is located in the famed Big Sky where, yes, the sky does provide a wide lens-effect and spectacular backdrop, and is breathtaking even in high snowfall.
A first for most of the senior officials and ministers attending the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation's (Apec) MRT (ministers responsible for trade) last week, they found the experience of the journey up to the venue 9,000 feet above sea level quite different from what many of them have been used to.
An indication of the different paths the 21 economies have to take, perhaps, with the challenges in the global trade and investment scenario in the 21st century?
Host US Trade Representative Ron Kirk beamed at his fellow ministers who made it to the American West. The majestic mountain scenery only prompts them to broaden their vistas and plan on a grander scale, he quipped.
The US wants to do big things with its Asia-Pacific partners and strong engagement with the region is a major component of its trade agenda.
Because the Asia-Pacific markets are so large and dynamic, its importance to the US will only increase.
Weighing the relevance of Apec meetings is not new, having been labelled various names including " talk shop", among others, over the years.
Broadly, Apec works towards the Bogor goal for free and open trade and investment in Asia Pacific by 2010 for developed countries and 2020 for developing countries.
It has a unique form of operating on the basis of open dialogue and respect for all views, and decision-making within Apec is done by consensus.
The grouping members find the non-binding commitments appealing.
For an open trading economy like Malaysia, being a part of the Pacific Rim grouping has only become more relevant than before, what with 75 per cent of its trade undertaken with trading partners from both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Malaysian exporters and importers as well as businesses at large have benefited from reduced tariffs and other trade barriers across the region.
Apec estimates that business transaction costs have been reduced by 5 per cent between 2002 and 2006, with further 5 per cent at the end of 2010.
Through its collaborative efforts, the cooperation has created an environment that enables safe and efficient movement of goods, services and people across borders through policy decisions and economic and technical cooperation.
Facilitation of customs procedures is one of the significant applications.
While the rhetoric by Apec economic leaders at the annual summit tends to provide the impression of a talk shop, officials attest that a lot of work go in from the moment priorities and goals are put forth during the summit.
Being a host country is an advantage and, in the case of the US, an added opportunity as the world's largest economy underwent one of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s.
For the Obama administration, the success of Apec 2011 is crucial in many regards. For one, his government wants to be seen doing something for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) - which contribute more than 90 per cent to its economy.
In such a forum like Apec, it is political will which holds sway over plans and programmes and fits well into the American agenda.
This year's thrust on SMEs holds a lot of promise in growing theAsia-Pacific region further.
Lending a hand to SMEs to join the global supply chains and developing the ilk through innovation and green growth as well as next generation strategies would provide the much-needed boost to SMEs in both the developed and advanced member countries as well as the emerging ones.
Being a member of this group does not come cheap one may argue, looking at the average US$75,000 (RM227,250) annual fee an economy the size of Malaysia has to fork out, but the benefits outweigh such concern.
As efforts to salvage the Doha Round of the World Trade Organisation are being expedited with a plaintive plea by the organisation's director general Pascal Lamy last week, there is a lot of cheer to look out for the businesses.
With the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) designed to conclude by year-end and a handful of FTAs involving Asean and China, Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand and not to mention the numerous bilateral trade pacts, the question of market access does not appear so critical.
For the US, the US-Korea FTA and the TPP talks are fundamental pillars of its trade engagement.
Kirk sees Apec 2011 as a potential watershed year, not only for the US as a single economy, but also for the grouping as a whole.
It is a critical juncture, he admits, to keep Apec's trade and investment agenda on the cutting edge for the next 20 years. Last week's work in Big Sky has produced progress towards the shared goal of a seamless regional economy.

Cobs popcorn partners with Mattel in FMCG first
Australian popcorn maker Cobs has partnered with global toy company Mattel to release new UNO cards though Cobs popcorn packs.
Between 16 March – 1 April 2018, specially marked Cobs popcorn packs will include a single new UNO card that can be added to existing UNO decks.
Cards include ‘draw eight wild card’, a ‘deflection card’ which can be used to bounce a card back to the player that cast it and a ‘popcorn card’ which allows one player only to eat popcorn for an entire round.
The partnership is believed to be a first of its kind between Mattel and a FMCG brand.
Mattel Senior Marketing Manager, Jacinta Whitehead, said she believes the partnership between Cobs and Mattel is an exciting innovation.
“UNO is our hero brand within the game category and we are always looking for new innovative ways to keep it top of mind,” Whitehead said.
“The partnership allows the game to have a presence outside of the toy aisle.”
Specially marked Cobs UNO popcorn packs are available now at Coles and Woolworths supermarkets until stocks last. The recommended retail price is AUD $3.29.

On a recent episode of Laura Shin’s Unchained podcast, Ledger co-founder and CEO Eric Larcheveque revealed his company sold half as many hardware wallets in 2018 as they did in 2017. Ledger’s sales have declined with the market, as bitcoin prices are still down over 80% from their all-time highs, which were made in December 2017.
Ledger Sales Decline with the Crypto Asset Market
According to Larcheveque, Ledger sold around a million hardware wallets in 2017 and roughly half a million hardware wallets in 2018.
“And we sold a lot of the devices in the first quarter of 2018,” added Larcheveque as he shared these numbers with Shin.
Larcheveque went on to explain that their sales tend to correlate with the level of coverage related to bitcoin and other crypto assets in the media.
“When the price is going down, the interest in crypto is going down,” said Larcheveque. “And also, the media coverage is going down. And so, generally speaking, the traffic is going down, and so we sell less.”
Although the connection between a crypto asset bear market and weaker sales numbers for Ledger may be obvious, Larcheveque noted that they also tend to see an uptick in sales when there is a sudden crash in crypto asset prices.
From Larcheveque’s perspective, Black Friday sales are the best metric to track when comparing numbers from different years. Without getting into specifics, Larcheveque stated, “Black Friday in 2018 was very good compared to 2017.”
Secure Smartphones a Threat to Hardware Wallets Going Forward?
On a related note, Larcheveque was also asked by Shin whether Ledger views the use of secure enclaves in smartphones as a potential threat to their business model going forward.
“They are more like an extension,” responded Larcheveque.
Larcheveque thinks it will take another three years for secure enclaves to be ready to complement the hardware wallet industry.
“Right now, there is a lot of fragmentation. It is quite complex to use it consistently on different types of platforms or smartphones,” said Larcheveque.
According to Larcheveque, Ledger will be more than ready when it’s time to move to secure enclaves, which is when they’ll be able to profit from their technology through licensing deals with phone manufacturers who provide devices to billions of people around the world. The company originally launched their own wallet for secure enclaves in Samsung phones back in 2016.
Of course, the market for hardware wallets won’t disappear overnight, so Ledger should still be able to sell their traditional cold storage solutions for quite awhile.Investment Disclaimer

Toyota is recalling certain Prius and Lexus vehicles.
The recall includes model year 2016 Prius and Lexus RX vehicles, and model year 2015 and 2016 Lexus NX vehicles.
The involved vehicles have air bag systems in which an open circuit could be created over time, and eventually the air bags may not deploy.
That could increase the risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants in the event of a crash.
If you have one of these vehicles, you can take it to your Toyota or Lexus dealer to have the sensors replaced at no cost.

Yesterday’s launch of Escape Goat 2 wasn’t just a big deal for developer MagicalBeanTime; it’s also a new chapter for Double Fine, which has gone from needing publishers, to independently publishing its own games and now to publishing other indies.
But Double Fine have been trying to play it down. The company wants to leverage its experience to promote and assist other developers without taking away attention from the game, said CEO Justin Bailey in a chat with Game Informer.
“For Escape Goat 2, we’re primary providing promotional assistance and distribution,” Bailey explains. “Our goal is to help indies build their own community and empower them with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed on their own.”
Double Fine realised that there was a gap in publishing; an absence of publishers that catered for indies, tailoring their services around the diverse needs of that type of developer with creating codependence.
With Early Access, Greenlight and crowd-funding, indie developers are taking lots of different approaches, and Bailey explains that the process will be on a case by case basis. “Some will want help with Kickstarters and other funding, some will want development feedback, others will want promotional or even advice porting to other platforms,” he says. “We’re open to working with each developer and figuring out how we can help make them successful.”
The studio-turned-publisher put out a call for other developers looking to work with them yesterday. But it’s still in its infancy. At the moment, the publishing team consists of Bailey and publishing manager Greg Rice, but there’s room for growth. “The current focus is just on making the titles we publish successful and something that both the developer and Double Fine can be proud of,” Bailey says.
Cheers, Game Informer.

After much anticipation, after two years of temporary schlockfests in the old Colony Music space, including Halloween stores and Christmas shops, it looks like landlord Stonehenge Properties finally found someone to commit to the reported $5 million rent.
Reader Ken Jacowitz did some snooping around and sent in the following shots. Is that a teddy bear peeking from behind Colony's door?
photos by Ken Jacowitz
Why, yes, it is. But not just any bear. Signs say it's the Build-a-Bear Workshop bear, native to Overland, Missouri, and conqueror of suburban shopping malls across the nation, with over 400 stores worldwide, including three already in New York City.
Colony Music had been here for over 60 years, since 1948. They were forced out after Stonehenge bought the Brill Building and quintupled the legendary record and music store's rent.
Add this one to the ever-growing list. Where once was a New York original, a one of a kind, there's now another piece of bland, middle-American ubiquity.

A.J. Brown Launches into Cannabis Industry with Latest Project
C3 Industries, a cannabis company headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has recently expanded its multistate manufacturing footprint into Missouri with A.J. Brown as their construction partner. This vertically integrated cannabis company is championed for its award-winning cannabis cultivation and production, noteworthy brand partnerships and 14 retail stores.
The new Sunset Hills facility opened in December 2021, meeting a strict state-mandated deadline. C3 Industries partnered with A.J. Brown to deliver the state-of-the-art production site in record time.
This project involved the total site and building renovation. The existing building was previously an automobile service center originally built in the 1950s.
A.J. Brown’s team completed an interior demolition which included removing concrete floors; new sanitary, electrical and storm utilities were brought in. The interior buildout included new office space, reception area, employee break room, product safe room, retail area and restrooms. The new concrete floor was finished with polish and seal, and the exposed ceiling was painted. Expansive retail casework and counters were also installed. The exterior sitework package included a new parking lot and landscaping.
This design/build project was unique in many ways, and an exciting step into the cannabis industry for A.J. Brown. “This was a first for us, speaking in terms of industry, but it’s a project that fell right within our wheelhouse,” says Doug Rendleman, A.J. Brown principal. “Even with several unforeseen soil condition challenges, we delivered a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility by the state-mandated deadline, without sacrificing the quality of the final product. I foresee this being the first of many design/build projects for A.J. Brown within the fast-growing cannabis industry.”
Working for you
A.J. Brown is committed to clear communication and time-proven management strategies, all designed to deliver a construction project that meets client goals. “We make it our business to understand our clients’ business objectives so we can help them succeed,” says Rendleman. “We’re here to make you look good.”
If you’re looking for the right partner for your next construction project, talk to A.J. Brown. You can reach Doug Rendleman at 636-537-3636.

- *Very bad news for Facebook
It seems that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg's time of accounting will not last long. New press reports suggest a huge penalty awaits the company in the United States for its illegal use of users.
The Washington Post reported that the FTC, or the Federal Trade Commission, would impose a huge penalty on Facebook, the largest penalty in its history, expected to reach 2.2 billion US dollars, while the largest amount He was registered as Google in 2012 with $ 22.5 million.
Although the Federal Trade Commission's managers have not yet met to determine the size of the sentence, Washington Central says it will be in the range of $ 2.2 billion. However, the penalty comes too late compared to Facebook scandals recorded last year, most notably the famous Cambridge Analytica case In which more than 87 million users were leaked.

- Samsung Galaxy S lineup is set to launch on February 20 ahead of MWC 2019. We have seen many leaks of the lineup and the recent leak completes the circle. The new report from Tutto Android reveals the price and storage variant of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 Series.
Like the previous series, Samsung will launch their S10 lineup with 6GB and 8GB of RAM. The lite variant will pack 6GB RAM while the highest variant of S10 Plus will pack 12GB RAM. Same goes with the storage variant, the Base variant will pack 128GB RAM and the highest variant will pack 1 TB Storage.
Below are the pricing reported by Tutto Android:
S10 Lite 6/128 GB to 779 euros (~$908, Rs. 64,000)
S10 6/128 GB to 929 euros (~$1,056, Rs. 75,000)
S10 8/512 GB to 1179 euros (~$1,340, Rs. 95,381)
S10 Plus 6/128 GB at 1049 euros (~$1,193, Rs. 84,917)
S10 Plus 8/512 GB to 1299 euros (~$1,477, Rs. 1,05,000)
S10 Plus 12/1 TB at 1599 euros (~$1,818, Rs. 1,29,000)
The pricing of the smartphone keeps increasing every year and Samsung is also a pushing price to an extent. None of the S10 Lineup will be cheap. The leaked pricing is only for the European market so the actual price in India might vary.

Samsung Galaxy S10: Black, White, Green, and Two other special edition Color

We expect to start shipping cargo in June on prior Virgin America routes. Our Airbus fleet of 68 airplanes will offer similar capabilities to our Boeing belly fleet today, but with a greatly expanded route network. That translates to a huge increase in our overall cargo capacity.
What it means:
Our Self-Service Pick-Up has been deployed for several months in Seattle’s Alaska Air Cargo facility, and is now being used 20+ times a day. There are two self-service locations in this facility: in the lobby and in the cargo bay in the warehouse.
Feedback has been positive, especially for repeat customers, who can print delivery receipts and go directly to the warehouse to pick up shipments – bypassing the customer lobby and lines.
We are planning to deploy Self-Service Pick-Up in several new stations very soon, including ANC, LAX, and SFO, with more to follow later in the year.
For more information, contact your Alaska Air Cargo sales representative.
If you need to get big stuff to the biggest state, we’ve got the freighters to make it happen. You can ship large items to Seattle via any convenient transportation mode — air, truck, rail, boat — and we’ll transport them to Alaska via our new 737-700 freighters. The new freighter fleet has bigger (40,000 lb.) payloads and configurations for oversized items. The freighters run daily routes between Seattle and Alaska, and we have regularly scheduled service to 19 Alaskan communities.
Alaska Air Cargo serves 100 destinations in North and Central America, and we are the fastest scheduled freight service to Alaska. And you’ll receive competitive pricing on any items you ship, of all sizes and configurations.
You can book online, or call 1-800-2Alaska for more information.
Near the end of 2017 we expanded our routes and options to include:
|San Diego (SAN) – St. Louis (STL)||1x Daily|
|San Diego (SAN) – Kansas City (MCI)||1x Daily|
|San Diego (SAN) – Minneapolis (MSP)||1x Daily|
|Portland (PDX) – New York - Kennedy (JFK)||1x Daily|
|Portland (PDX) – Detroit (DTW)||1x Daily|
|Seattle (SEA) – Pittsburgh (PIT)||Daily starting September 6, 2018|
And this year we’ll be connecting Paine Field to new destinations.
This coming fall, Alaska Air Cargo will connect Paine Field to eight destinations along the West Coast with 13 daily nonstop departures (subject to final government approval). The all-jet service from Paine Field will fly to Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Orange County, California; Phoenix; Portland; San Diego; San Francisco; and San Jose, California. The number of flights for each destination along with departure and arrival times will be announced later in 2018.

WHIPPANY, N.J. — An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from unsightly nail appearance — a market currently underserved by nonprescription products. Alterna is looking to dress up that foot care need with its launch of Kerasal Nail Fungal Nail Renewal Treatment.
Kerasal Nail’s unique nail-penetrating formula — a unique point of differentiation for the U.S. market — already is the No. 1 seller in various European countries where it launched last year, Alterna reported. The launch potentially will breathe new life into the almost $340 million antifungal category in mass, which currently is trending down in the low-single digits.

Agreed. My credibility on the subject of Toyota engine oil sludge is well-established. My credibility to gather auto owner information is also well-established. My efforts have been noted in Automotive News, Business Week, as well as other online forums. I've been following this matter since late 2000; it is still a problem for vehicle owners.
Vehicle owners like Ram_Camry_Victim have asked for information; they deserve a legitimate response. It is inappropriate for someone who disagrees with the facts to lambast the messengers.

Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent ended the first day of Paris Fashion Week with a show that revisited the brand's "well-behaved and overly bourgeoise elegance of the '90s." There was lace, cashmere, and a whole lot of latex. That latex came in the form of body-hugging long-sleeve dresses and pants with a sleek, almost a liquid shine to them on the runway. The Saint Lauren woman "loves to take risks," read the show notes. For the fashion house's fall 2020 collection, Vaccarello also brought back fabrics from the archives that included "houndstooth, panther, and polka dots patterns contrast with the shiny texture of latex." Ahead, take a glance at all the sultry and cool looks from the fall collection.

NEW YORK -- Long known for its array of vitamins and diet supplements, General Nutrition Center stores are now flexing their muscles in skin and hair care.
GNC -- the nation's largest health and nutrition chain -- has watched competitors such as The Body Shop, Estee Lauder's Origins, Beauty Without Cruelty and Blackmores build a substantial beauty following by emphasizing a natural positioning. Mass market retailers such as Pittsburgh-based Thrift Drug and Kmart Corp., Troy, Mich., also have been adding natural lines to their beauty selection.
GNC, which has 1,540 company and franchised units in the U.S., hopes to get more of the customers attracted by vitamins or other health-related merchandise to come into the beauty departments.
Despite the popular image of a well-toned male frequenting GNC, the company said 65 percent of its clientele is female, making the chain well- positioned to expand its beauty business.
"We feel there is a correlation between feeling good and looking good," explained Michael Stoughton, sales manager for cosmetics, health maintenance care and apparel for GNC. "We've put an emphasis on building our beauty line."
Beauty, according to Stoughton, accounts for about 3 percent of store sales. GNC hopes to almost double that with its private label line of beauty items sold under the Natural Solutions logo. GNC units average annual sales of $400,000.
An ongoing repackaging program of Natural Solutions, a line with 35-plus stockkeeping units, began last September. The new design features a more clinical, health-oriented look.
Natural Solutions had been packaged in an array of colors with no coherent theme. Now, Stoughton said, there is a uniform look.
The line consists of hair care, eye care, nail care, teenage skin care and massage items. The assortment is also being fine-tuned to reflect market needs. Among the new items are a hair care system containing a shampoo, a conditioner and a supplement selling for $17.99 and glycerin soaps at $1.99.
Stoughton singled out the Natural Solutions Teen Skin kit as a new sku that is "doing really well."
GNC contracts out the production of its Natural Solutions line, which uses all natural ingredients that are not tested on animals. The firm also intersperses several nationally known brands in its beauty mix, including Blackmores skin care, Mill Creek and Rachel Perry.Jeff Tolrud, a franchisee in Tampa, Fla., estimated that 90 percent of his cosmetics mix is GNC private label. He said new signs and fixtures offered by GNC have helped raise awareness of Natural Solutions.
"We're seeing more people pick up a nail care or massage oil while they are here for their vitamins," said Tolrud, whose store competes with a Wal-Mart and a Sally's Beauty Supply for beauty sales.
Stoughton hopes to see the percentage of GNC's own label increase in the assortment. The private label items can yield almost twice the gross margins of national brands.
The company has made it known in financial reports that it hopes to continue to shift sales to higher-margin vitamins, sports nutrition supplements and beauty items and away from less profitable food products.
Stoughton also hasn't ruled out the addition of a color cosmetics line. "Right now we're concentrating on hair, skin and body care," he said.
Surprisingly, while specialty stores such as Goodebodies and drugstores like Thrift Drug are building bath care volume, Stoughton said GNC's growth is still primarily in skin and hair care.
Although the size of GNC stores varies dramatically, most units stock at least 12 feet of beauty items stacked five to seven shelves high.
To highlight the new packaging the chain has created green wooden fixtures similar to those used in specialty chains such as The Body Shop. The beauty items are in the front of the store.
"We're trying to create a boutique image," Stoughton said.
He added that the fixturing continues to evolve as GNC opens new prototypes. Its latest look is on display at a new store in Schaumburg, Ill.
Stoughton said GNC is also planning to start promoting its beauty items in its advertising, which has traditionally focused on nutritional supplements.
Niche products continue to outperform traditional color cosmetics.
Several mass market chains, including Walgreen Co., Caldor and F&M, are converting unused sales space by using clip strips of a line of unusual items marketed by Cosmetically Sealed Industries, Mt. Vernon, N.Y.
The clip strips -- long panels with hooks on them to hold merchandise -- can be affixed to the edges of shelves. Stores have long used the devices in other departments, but Cosmetically Sealed is the first line to make use of them in beauty.Cosmetically Sealed features Sealed With a Kiss, a roll-on lip fixative designed to make lipstick smear-proof; My Nails Are Sealed, a calcium-based nail strengthener, and My Nik is Sealed, a product that stops bleeding caused by razor cuts. While there are similar products aimed at the men's shaving market, retailers said this one is the first targeted to women.

Negative forces were at work on Thursday, keeping the Dow Jones Industrial Average below the magic 20,000 mark once again.
Prior to the market open was the ADP jobs report for December, which, in anticipation of Friday's non-farm payroll report, reported that the US added 153,000 jobs in the month, below consensus analyst estimates of roughly 170,000 jobs.
That, in addition to the ongoing turmoil in Chinese yuan was enough to start US markets off on a very tepid tone.
By late morning, the Dow had sunk to what would be the lows of the day, off by 113 points to 19,811, but the plunge was not significant and very short-lived.
Also weighing on stocks was the retail sector as Macy's and Kohl's both reported sluggish holiday sales after the bell on Wednesday. Macy's plans to close 68 stores nationwide and displace over 10,000 workers. Sears chimed in as well, announcing store closures and selling its iconic Craftsman brand to Stanley Black & Decker for $900 million.
Still flirting with the 20,000 level, the Dow stabilized close to the 19,900 level as continued optimism at the prospects of a Trump-inspired stimulus kept spirits somewhat still ebullient, though subdued.
Since mid-December, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been hanging onto gains and closing just below historic highs, though signs are evident that the rally may not have much stream remaining. Those clinging to gains from the post-election surge may be gradually trimming their positions, as stocks seem to have stalled after Christmas.
What everyone believes but is loath to admit is that stocks are not fairly valued. They are expensive and a significant decline of five to ten percent might be just what's needed to resume the climb to new records. In other words, a short-lived sell-off might present a buying opportunity. On the other hand, market participants are fearful that any decline in equity values could unleash an uneasy and still-hibernating bear.
Tomorrow's non-farm payroll report for December should be enough of a catalyst in one way or another. The wait continues...
At the close 1.5.16:
Dow: 19,899.29, -42.87 (-0.21%)
NASDAQ: 5,487.94, +10.93 (0.20%)
S&P 500: 2,269.00, -1.75 (-0.08%)
NYSE Composite: 11,244.07, -2.47 (-0.02%)

Alibaba Group, the China-based e-commerce giant that went public last week, has set a new record for biggest IPO in history.
After Alibaba went public on Friday and raised $21.8 billion, underwriters on the deal saw such high demand that they exercised an option to sell an additional 48 million shares, Reuters reported Monday, citing people who claim to have knowledge of the situation. That bumped the total IPO value to $25 billion, according to the report.
Alibaba has become a major player in the worldwide e-commerce world and quickly became a star on Wall Street. Alibaba opened on the New York Stock Exchange at $92.70 and quickly shot up to nearly $100 before settling in the low $90s.. The company trades under the ticker "BABA."
With underwriters exercising their right to sell additional shares, Alibaba surpassed Agricultural Bank of China's $22.1 billion IPO in 2010 as the largest of all time.
For its part, Alibaba has not confirmed that it in fact sold additional shares on the market and has so far not responded to CNET's request for comment.
Alibaba shares are down about 4 percent to $90 in early trading on Monday.

As franchise owners of City Book Review, Heidi and Ross Rojek know a thing or two about print. They also know it’s anything but dead.
“That’s what people think,” says Heidi, “but there’s actually a resurgence of indie bookstores.”
Joining that resurgence, the Rojeks were on track to open Capital Books in April, downtown Sacramento’s first new bookstore since Avid Reader relocated to Broadway more than 10 years ago. A 14,000-square-foot location next to Crest Theatre, Capital Books carries new books including best sellers, government and politics, cooking, art, local history, children’s, as well as board games and sidelines, such as booklights and book-related mugs. The Rojeks hope to expand to the second floor next year to include a cafe that sells coffee, beer and wine.
The Rojeks also hope to use their 10-plus years of experience reviewing books to attract author signings and host events. “This is a small space but we can host a big author in the Crest, sell tickets, and then use this space as an after party,” says Ross, adding that through City Book Review. “We interface with like 3,000 publicists from all over the world.”
The Rojeks already hope to host author and illustrator Judd Winick, who has worked for Marvel and DC, and Ross has even inquired about Margaret Atwood, though he says, “I know I’m punching above my weight.”
In July Capital Books will also sponsor Find Waldo Local, American Booksellers Association’s event where local businesses hide images of the iconic Waldo, which participants must find to receive stamps in a passport redeemable for a prize.
According to the Rojeks, Capital Books must sell about 3,000 books a month, so they’re thinking broadly to reach that goal. They’ve considered a bike delivery system, plan to sponsor a book club at Solomon’s Deli, and will display special order books in other local businesses, such as Mayahuel, which according to the Rojeks has agreed to carry a small selection of books on subjects including tequila, Mexican cooking or travel.
Because success, says Ross, “comes to the ones who get involved in the community.”

text: Swiss full-service provider Salt has booked a 3.9% year-on-year increase in first quarter revenue, with turnover of CHF260.2 million (USD270.1 million) for the first three months of 2022 compared to CHF250.5 million in Q1 2021. The growth was driven by continuing improvement in post-paid service revenue, which Salt attributed to an increase in subscription volume – albeit offset by lower ARPU – and an increase in sales of equipment and accessories. The operator counted a total of 1.814 million mobile subscriptions, including 1.394 million post-paid accounts, at the end of March 2022 up from a total of 1.830 million and 1.325 million post-paid lines a year earlier. Quarterly EBITDA stood at CHF129.3 million, an increase of 4.6% year-on-year, whilst Free Cash Flow rose to CHF47.8 million from CHF39.8 million in Q1 2021. Salt provided little information regarding its fibre-based broadband operations but noted that it had recorded ‘continued strong growth’ in the residential segment and positive net additions in the B2B segment for an eleventh consecutive quarter.

In Montgomery County, Maryland, budding minority-owned businesses were boosted by government-sponsored get-togethers called Shop and Drop’s at community centers.
COVID-19 has made it difficult for some small businesses. In Montgomery County, Maryland, budding minority-owned businesses were boosted by government-sponsored get-togethers called Shop and Drop’s at community centers.
Gatherings give business people the opportunity to exchange ideas and the opportunity to sell their products, which they display.
At a Shop and Drop event on December 11, held at the Gaithersburg Recreation Center, Marcell Brown showed off his clothing brand Hope – activewear sporting Brown’s concepts and designs.
âThere’s a lot of negativity out there right now, and I kind of wanted to bring inspiration and positivityâ¦â said Marcell Brown, owner of Hope Clothing Brand. ââ¦ I feel like God put it in my heart and I’m going to keep doing what God tells me to do.
Not far from Brown’s exhibition, artist Frankie Alika greeted clients at his table covered with his oil on canvas paintings – luminous paintings, many in silver and gold.
âI took art classes at homeâ¦ I’m from Nigeria, but I didn’t really pay attention, until COVID hit, and I was, like, okay, – I have to get back to the talent that I did, “said Alika. She hopes to grow her business and someday open a small gallery in Montgomery County.
Maisie Dunbar, from Germantown, owns Bluffajo cosmetics, available online at Bluffajo.com. The name comes from Liberia in West Africa where Dunbar said “Bluffajo” is a term of affection.
âIt’s a term that designates a person who is always well dressed, sophisticated, confident. It doesn’t have to be a woman, it could be a man, just someone who embodies all the looks, âDunbar said.
State of Maryland De. Pam Queen of Montgomery County, a member of the Economics Committee, has brought minority businesses together at quarterly stores and chutes at community centers.
âAfter the pandemic, a lot of them need a little push, so we’re trying to make sure we do that and let them know what resources are available to them,â Queen said.
Two Shop and Drops are planned for the spring, focusing on businesses run by women and Asians.

OLD SAYBROOK -- — Although Stop & Shop has bought the rights to lease the former Ames store on Boston Post Road, the 64,000-square-foot facility might remain empty.
"We're very unhappy. It's bad for the town, bad for the shopping center, bad for customers and bad for us," Torrey Brooks, one of the owners of the Ames Shopping Center, said Wednesday.
Brooks said a number of potential tenants contacted his company, Norwalk-based Granite National Realty, about leasing the space Ames vacated when the chain went out of business last fall.
However, a New York bankruptcy court decision gave Stop & Shop the go-ahead to buy the lease designation rights to this store and 17 other former Ames stores in New England for $20 million.
Almost all those stores are destined to become new Stop & Shops, Kelly O'Connor, manager of corporate communications for Stop & Shop, said Wednesday.
While she would not be specific about the Ames here, it's highly unlikely this one will become a Stop & Shop, because there is a well-established Stop & Shop just down the Boston Post Road in the Old Saybrook Shopping Center.
"And that Stop & Shop lease is longer than your lifetime, your children's lifetime and the lifetime of your grandchildren," Old Saybrook Shopping Center owner Matt Rubin said Wednesday.
While Ames was still in business, Granite tried to buy the store out of its lease so it could rent the space at a higher rate. But Ames wouldn't go for the deal.
Granite argued in bankruptcy court against Stop & Shop's plans for the Old Saybrook Ames, not just because of the low rental but also because Brooks said he fears Stop & Shop bought the rights only to keep another supermarket from moving to town.
In addition to the empty Ames store, the Ames Shopping Center has two other vacant spots -- one 4,750 square feet and the other 3,900 square feet. Brooks said the "dark Ames" hurts the remaining tenants and will make it difficult to rent the empty spaces.

Some like those from Toyota, BMW and Nissan are sitting it out completely. They ‘d rather not blow a substantial part of their yearly advertisement spending plan on the occasion provided the vehicle classification– and lots of others for that matter– are still dogged by the economy and supply concerns.
There will be those that believe otherwise, obviously. Pepsi, AB InBev, General Motors, Netflix and DraftKings among others. There are lots of others that can’t manage to go huge or go home around the occasion. Rather, they’re needing to be smarter about how they promote around the video game.
State Farm appears to have actually taken this to heart. They’re avoiding its typical Super Bowl advertisement this year in favor of a TikTok project with social networks character Khaby Lame together with brand name representative Jake. A hashtag difficulty like the one at the heart of this project expenses around $150,000 for 6 days. On the flipside, a television advertisement throughout the video game would’ve set the very same online marketers back around $7 million.
” The discussions we’re having with our brand name partners makes me seem like costs on social networks is growing around this year’s Super Bowl in spite of the economy,” stated Mike Heller, co-founder of sports marketing company Talent Resources Sports. “Now, that might be down to the truth that we’re a store firm, not one of the huge holding business, so online marketers are concerning us more so now than in previous years when they were doing these huge advertising campaign.”
No marvel online marketers are on edge.
They can’t manage to choose broke on brand name awareness alone. The advertisements need to work more difficult. A lot of the projects digital marketing company Influential is working on for the video game have a part that can be determined; so something like a method to determine in-store sales or foot traffic into a QSR or online sales. Plainly, the stakes are greater for a great deal of online marketers this year.
” Advertising on the Super Bowl will not be what it ought to be or might be this weekend– a minimum of when compared to previous years,” stated Ryan Detert, CEO of Influential.
What he indicates is the advertisements may not feel as huge as they have formerly. That’s not to state that marketing throughout the Super Bowl has actually decreased by any methods, it’s that the chance for circulation throughout social channels continues to grow.
For example, there’s a great deal of idea entering into how to mememify remarkable, wacky, enjoyable minutes around the video game. That’s the view of the 6 online marketers who flagged to Digiday that this would be an essential job for those advertisement officers in social networks war spaces for the occasion. It’s not a brand-new technique by any methods. The entire point of war spaces was to basically develop memes, or those cultural products efficient in spreading out throughout the web rapidly. This year, nevertheless, that material will not always focus on text as much. Not now that Twitter isn’t as main to Super Bowl prepares as it when was. Rather, they’re going to focus more on images, brief clips and livestreaming.
” For us, Twitter has actually been deprioritized in the total scope of the Downy project this year, however it’s still essential to be present as individuals utilize Twitter to browse, respond and link in genuine time,” stated Jennifer Brotman, group account director at Saatchi & & Saatchi.
Brands are appearing for the Super Bowl on platforms, however by means of natural material rather of paid marketing, which it will utilize to push audiences back to that natural material.
Look at the number of marketers are partnering with developers around the occasion: The NFL is dealing with Emmanuel Duverneau (referred to as the dancing chef on TikTok, to prepare gamers’ preferred meals. Doritos is dealing with TikTok character Tay Bloomer for a dance contest.
” When you accumulate developers vs. Super Bowl business advertisement costs the numbers promote themselves,” stated Krishna Subramanian, CEO of influencer marketing platform Captiv8. “Creators provide greater engagement and viewership, at a substantially lower expense making one thing obvious: Creators are the most important marketing channel for brand names.”
To be clear, there will be those that buck this pattern. Take Pepsi. It reserved more than $3 million for Twitter takeover advertisements on the day of the Super Bowl, per The Information. Others, nevertheless, either do not have that sort of money to invest or if they do, are needing to put it to operate in more locations. In fairness, this decentralization of internet marketing, particularly social networks, was currently taking place. The slump has actually made it all the more intense.
” There was a time when the trending hashtag on a social networks platform was the creme de la creme for online marketers who desired a huge Super Bowl minute they might own,” stated Detert. “Clearly that’s still crucial. More online marketers likewise desire more user-generated material produced this year. That’s why there’s more interest in TikTok this year.”
Time will inform whether this “less might be more” technique to Super Bowl marketing exercises. What little proof there is from the projects around last year’s video game recommends that working with developers and user-generated material particularly might pay off, if done properly.

Having déjà vu? Feel like we've been here before? Well, don't pinch yourself. Be calm. You're not crazy. We have been here before.
For years the great cupcake bakers of Texas have fought for the freedom to sell their delicate clouds of sugar and butter to a hungry public. With the fierceness of the Texas revolution, for years they've rallied under the motto "Come and Bake It." I've said it before: Bakers are a scrappy crew.
Collectively, they've won a lot of battles. Before 2011, selling home-baked goods at all was illegal. In the last legislative session a bill passed that allowed for sales under certain guidelines. This year, Texas bakers are back for more.
A House bill would allow for expanded sales, not just at homes, but also at farmers markets, festivals and different events. There are also more items added to the list of what can be sold, including jams, jellies, nuts, dried fruit, pickles and other things.
What that all amounts to is more business and income for independent bakers, or your friend who has a knack for canning pickles and the like.
Earlier this week the bill was passed out of a Senate committee and was recommended for the local and uncontested calendar, which sort of means "let's go ahead and pass this thing."
There's one last hurdle now: It has to be brought up before the full Senate for a vote. Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst has the sole authority to do that. But the Legislature's biological clock is ticking. If the bill doesn't get voted on by May 22, it's dead.
Proponents of the bill are asking Texans to call Dewhurst and ask him to bring the measure up for a vote.
Representative Eddie Rodriguez, the author of the bill, is confident that it will pass.
"The bipartisan nature of the Texas House Farm-to-Table Caucus and the cottage foods bill gives me reason to think it has a really good shot," wrote Rodriguez in an email. "We've been at the table with the affected parties, so any new objections at this point would be a surprise."

The pandemic has hit the world in a cruel way – and the fashion industry couldn’t stay behind concerning the new normal.

Stockholm Fashion Week
Stockholm Fashion Week’s last two editions got canceled due to sustainability reasons. The Swedish Fashion Association didn’t agree with the current fashion calendar and decided to follow its own path. Until now, since the coronavirus has changed a lot. Many big brands (such as Gucci and Saint Laurent) have decided to follow their own calender, providing them the opportunity to focus on creativity and sustainability instead of fashion’s rat race. Therefore, the Swedish Fashion Association decided that it would be a great step to relaunch their annual event. However, in a digital form.
Fashion Week schedule
From the 26th to the 28th of August, Stockholm Fashion Week goes digital. During these days, many Scandinavian brands will present their Summer 2021 collections. Most presentations will be recorded beforehand, but some will be hosted live. The Swedish Fashion Association emphasizes the fact that those live events will focus on sustainability and the sustainable future of the fashion industry. Catarina Midby (SFA) told Vogue that it’s about time to “look ahead”. She hints towards timeless clothes, sustainably and ethically crafted.
The definitive schedule hasn’t been announced yet, but we know that all talks and events will be held in English, to make the event more inclusive. Keep an eye on this page to stay up to date.

After a court-ordered mediation period seems to have hit a brick wall, Macy's (M), Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) and J.C. Penney (JCP) will be back in New York state court this week. As previously discussed on Breakout, the case is a love triangle of sorts. Macy's claims they have a five-year exclusive deal with Martha and that JCP's efforts to open MSO "stores within a store" clearly violate the terms of the contract.
The case is relatively small potatoes for Macy's, and CEO Terry Lundgren and his legal team have made noise about financial damages to Macy's. But given JCP's collapsing sales — with or without Martha — such claims seem designed more for legal positioning than financial peril. Brian Sozzi, CEO of Belus Capital Advisors, suggests JCP has a lot more riding on the outcome and traders know it.
"Since the trial began on February 20, JCP shares are down 25%, Macy's up 10%," Sozzi points out. "So what is Mr. Market saying? That Macy's is going to put the final knife, the final dagger, into the heart of J.C. Penney."
New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Oing is clearly aware that a draconian ruling against JCP and MSO could be a death blow for either or both companies.
JCP CEO Ron Johnson didn't just sign off on the attempt to exploit a perceived loophole in Stewart's contract with Macy's, he also invested $38.5 million for a 16.6% stake of MSO. The deal placed a value of $3.50 a share for MSO, roughly 30% higher than where the stock is trading today.
Making matters even worse, Sozzi notes that JCP has Stewart goods sitting in inventory and literally floating on cargo ships waiting to be delivered to JCP stores. Without those goods JCP will be forced to continue its remodeling efforts with a giant hole in the store where the Martha Stewart "store" was supposed to be.
Sozzi says JCP has a real survival risk should they lose this case. If those Martha Stewart goods can't be sold, JCP's Home Department will be completely irrelevant and still under construction for months to come. A company with Penney's growing liquidity concerns can't afford to keep one-fifth of its stores boarded up through the holidays — assuming they even make it that long.
Macy's wins regardless of the outcome simply by keeping JCP in court. A ruling in Macy's favor just might be the end of J.C. Penney entirely. "Macy's is going to have a grand holiday season," Sozzi concludes. "If they win this case, they still have Martha. They can run those commercials, and they can really put J.C. Penney down into the toilet."
It would seem that hell hath no fury like Terry Lundgren scorned.

The show has also been credited with helping kids process and understand complex issues, including trauma, homelessness and cultural differences. There is also a study underway that will analyze the show’s impact on kids’ understanding of kindness and emotions.

Shandong Linglong adding compounding unit to Thailand plant
During a visit to China last week, Thailand’s Minister of Industry, Atchaka Sibunruang, and representatives from the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand visited the Zhaoyuan headquarters of Shangdong Linglong Tire and the tyre maker’s exhibition space at the China Qingdao International Tire Fair. A meeting also took place on 8 April between the Authority and Shandong Linglong chairman Wang Feng; this resulted in the signing of a letter of intent that will see the tyre maker increase its investment in Thailand through initiating the third phase of its Linglong International Tire (Thailand) plant project, the installation of a rubber compounding facility at the Rayong province site.
According to Shangdong Linglong, the rubber compound unit will employ the “most advanced technology and process equipment” in order to produce “first-class quality products” that will enhance the operation’s competitiveness and capacity for sustainable development. Stages one and two of the company’s investment in Thailand, the passenger car tyre and truck/bus tyre factories in Rayong province, are respectively on track to produce 12 million and 1.2 million tyres per annum.
Wang stated that Shandong Linglong’s presence and investment in Thailand is a part of the company’s “3+3” strategy, the plan to develop its three facilities in China – the Zhaoyuan, Dezhou and Liuzhou plants – along with three factories outside of China. The facility in Thailand is Shandong Linglong’s first overseas production site; in late 2014 the company indicated it was considering sites in the Americas with a view to setting up a factory there, and upon signing a sponsorship partnership with German football club VfL Wolfsburg in December of that year, Wang shared that Shandong Linglong would establish a technical centre in Germany by the end of 2015 (the company has yet to report on the status of this project) and, going forward, erect a production facility within Europe.

CHICO’S AND T+L: A NATURAL FIT?: Misses’ retailer Chico’s has tapped Travel + Leisure to create 14 destination guides and travel tips for its shoppers. The partnership is the first of its kind for T+L, which prides itself on a fortysomething readership whose average income is $160,000. The choice in partner, according to T+L vice president and publisher Jay Meyer, came from Chico’s, which approached the magazine out of the blue.
“They wanted access to what T+L brings to the table,” he said. “They are buying ads as well…and also doing some digital marketing.…We are looking at this long-term partnership.”
That partnership includes guides that have been researched and written by T+L editorial staffers. So far, the guides cover Scottsdale, Ariz., Miami, Puerto Rico, San Francisco and Turks & Caicos. The content will live on Chicos.com and in the retailer’s catalogues. For its part, Chico’s will buy ads in T+L’s March, April, September and December issues and it will place ads on the publication’s Web site and in its social media channels.
Both T+L readers and Chico’s shoppers will also encounter ads in-store, online and in both the travel glossy and the women’s retail catalogue for a sweepstakes to win a trip to Turks & Caicos and a $1,000 Chico’s gift card. The sweepstakes start this month.
For Chico’s, which is the dowdier sister brand of White House Black Market, the partnership makes sense, senior vice president of marketing and creative Liz Hodges said. According to its 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chico’s primarily sells clothing “focusing on women 40 and over with a moderate to high income level.” With clothes in the $50 to sub $200-range, Chico’s fits in the age demographic as the T+L reader, said Hodges, who offered that the retailer’s other big magazine partner is Harper’s Bazaar.
When asked if the customer overlaps with Bazaar, Hodges said: “Absolutely she reads Harper’s Bazaar…and a lot of other magazines as well. When you look at the DNA of a Harper’s Bazaar reader, she is very similar to a Chico’s customer.”
If that wasn’t proof enough of Chico’s clout, Hodges offered that as part of its ad buy with T+L, it also placed ads in the glossy’s fancier sister publication, Departures.

KOCHI: The export incentive scheme for natural rubber should continue during the Tenth Plan period for maintaining demand-supply balance in the country and for ensuring international price parity, according to Upasi chairman J K Thomas.
India's natural rubber export of 55,000 tonnes in 2002-03 could not have been possible without the incentive as the world market is unfamiliar with Indian natural rubber, he said.
The export of natural rubber in 2002-03 had helped to deplete the huge stocks of rubber that had piled up in the country. During the April-November period of 2003, exports of natural rubber were placed at 39,045 tonnes compared to 33,490 tonnes reported in the corresponding period of the previous year.
By exporting a small quantity of natural rubber in 2002-03, India has gained recognition as a supplier of good quality rubber. The challenge now is to sustain this trend of high exports, he said.
The rubber consuming segment, especially the tyre sector, has taken the stand that the incentive for natural rubber exports should be scrapped. In this context, Mr Thomas pointed out that Indian exports of natural rubber, accounting for just 1% of the global natural rubber exports and spread across more than 30 countries would not in any way affect the competitiveness of domestic tyre manufacturers vis-a-vis global counterparts.
The Upasi chairman also pointed out that the export incentive schemes available for natural rubber exports is WTO-compatible as these are given to the exporters to meet their costs for packaging, handling and transportation.
He said that the import figures of natural rubber show that the quantum imported into the country defies any economic logic of demand and supply. It appears that imports are effected as a "ploy to depress the domestic prices," he said.
