Intel’s shares have fallen nearly 20% since the delays were disclosed.

(Bloomberg Opinion) — The long-running trade dispute between Boeing Co. and Airbus SE has been a source of political grandstanding for years, but with the U.S.’s aggression reaching new levels of hypocrisy, the time may finally be right for a settlement. The U.S. Trade Representative’s office announced late Wednesday that it was leaving tariffs on $7.5 billion of imports because the European Union had not yet taken enough action to comply with a World Trade Organization ruling on illegal subsidies for Airbus. The U.S. is taking certain products from Greece and the U.K. off the list of items subject to …read more […]
It’s easy to hate the rich. They can afford things others can’t. Better clothes. Better food. Better healthcare.
All because they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth…
Right?
Actually, no. The percentage of wealth that is inherited is actually quite low.
Ordinary folks become millionaires every day, either through savvy business dealings or – gasp! – the stock market.
In fact, 70% of the folks who make up the Forbes 400 are self-made.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t fit into the current narrative that capitalism is a rigged system. It’s better, say the folks in charge, if you lean back and let the government handle …read more […]

(Bloomberg Opinion) — The months since coronavirus swept the world have been a bumper period for listed companies selling more stock.This isn’t yet on par with the amount of capital banks had to raise after the financial crisis, but it’s a welcome change. A business with a bigger equity buffer provides comfort in troubled times — more so than being hooked on debt, which must be repaid. Until recently, companies were hellbent on shrinking their share counts via stock buybacks, or they’ve delisted entirely following a debt-funded takeover or buyout. Citi analysts dubbed the trend “de-equitization.”“Re-equitization” is just getting started. …read more […]

(Bloomberg) — Gold headed for back-to-back gains following wild swings as investors weighed the outlook for the metal’s record-setting rally, tracking moves in bond yields, a weaker dollar, as well as an uptick in risk appetite.Spot bullion climbed, while futures were little changed.

Meanwhile, most Asian stocks advanced Thursday and were on course to erase this year’s declines as the global equity rally that’s driven shares higher since March continued to strengthen.Gold and silver have …read more […]
