This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.</p>\n<p>The general business cycle - when companies hire fewer workers during down economic periods, demand for the company’s services will decline.</p>\n<p>While Sterling is not immune to the ups and downs of the business cycle and potential future pandemic variant effects on economic activity, the firm has rebounded impressively and appears positioned to compete in a growing market.</p>\n<p>As for valuation, compared to First Advantage, which went public earlier in 2021 and performed since its debut, STER appears reasonably valued on a revenue multiple basis as the firm is growing revenue at a faster rate. STER is nearing EPS breakeven.</p>\n<p>Given the company’s strong rebound after the 2020 pandemic period and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth a close look.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nPer the firm’s most recent regulatory filing, it plans to use the net proceeds as follows:\n\n We currently intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay approximately $100.0 million outstanding under our Term loan. We intend to use the remainder, if any, of the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes.\n\nManagement’s presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nRegarding outstanding legal proceedings, management said the firm is not a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would be material to its operations or financial condition.\nListed bookrunners of the IPO are Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and other investment banks.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of the firm’s relevant capitalization and valuation metrics at IPO, excluding the effects of underwriter options:\n\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$1,973,227,914\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$2,401,254,914\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n3.62\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n4.41\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n122.06\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n-$0.08\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n15.20%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$21.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n$44,998,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n2.28%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n43.64%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(Source)\nAs a reference, a potential public comparable would be First Advantage(NASDAQ:FA); shown below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\n\n\n\nMetric\nFirst Advantage\nSterling Check\nVariance\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n5.76\n3.62\n-37.1%\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n6.53\n4.41\n-32.5%\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n23.41\n122.06\n421.4%\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$0.04\n-$0.08\n-293.0%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n19.2%\n43.64%\n127.89%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(S-1/AandSeeking Alpha)\nCommentary\nSTER is going public to obtain investment to pay down some of its debt and for its corporate expansion initiatives.\nThe firm’s financials show rebounding topline revenue growth, uneven gross profit growth, a swing to operating profit and net income and growing cash flow from operations in 2021.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was an impressive $45 million.\nSelling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have trended lower as revenue has varied and its Selling, G&A efficiency rate rebounded to 1.3x in the most recent six-month reporting period.\nThe market opportunity for providing background checks and related services is large and expected to grow at a moderate CAGR Of 5.5% in the coming years, although the continued transition to a decentralized workforce may increase demand a bit above this estimate.\nGoldman Sachs is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 37.3% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe general business cycle - when companies hire fewer workers during down economic periods, demand for the company’s services will decline.\nWhile Sterling is not immune to the ups and downs of the business cycle and potential future pandemic variant effects on economic activity, the firm has rebounded impressively and appears positioned to compete in a growing market.\nAs for valuation, compared to First Advantage, which went public earlier in 2021 and performed since its debut, STER appears reasonably valued on a revenue multiple basis as the firm is growing revenue at a faster rate. STER is nearing EPS breakeven.\nGiven the company’s strong rebound after the 2020 pandemic period and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth a close look.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869210310,"gmtCreate":1632290676630,"gmtModify":1676530744601,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869210310","repostId":"2169653353","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169653353","pubTimestamp":1632289320,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169653353?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-22 13:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed likely to open bond-buying 'taper' door, but hedge on outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169653353","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve is expected to clear the way on Wednesday for reductions ","content":"<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve is expected to clear the way on Wednesday for reductions to its monthly asset purchases later this year and show in updated projections whether higher-than-expected inflation or a resurgent coronavirus pandemic is weighing more on the economic outlook.</p>\n<p>Fed policymakers, who are wrapping up their latest two-day meeting, have been handed a conflicting set of developments since late July - signs of a slowdown in the service sector, a COVID-19 surge that has eclipsed that of last summer and weak job growth in August, all alongside still strong inflation - and been conflicted among themselves about how to react.</p>\n<p>Officials have for the most part said the economic recovery will continue and allow the U.S. central bank to proceed with plans to reduce its $120 billion in monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities by the end of 2021, and wind them down fully over the first half of next year.</p>\n<p>But forecasters and outside analysts expect the Fed to hedge on exactly when the \"taper\" might begin, and tie it to a rebound in job growth following the disconcertingly tepid report in August, when only 235,000 jobs were created.</p>\n<p>The Fed is due to release its latest policy statement and economic projections at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), with Fed Chair Jerome Powell holding a news conference half an hour later to discuss the outcome.</p>\n<p>The statement will likely acknowledge that the economy has taken another step towards the \"substantial further progress\" the Fed has said it wants to see in the labor market before reducing its bond purchases, Jefferies economists Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons said in an analysis.

About 53% of the merged entity would be owned by Sony India shareholders and the rest by Zee’s holders, the companies said. Sony shareholders will inject capital into its unit so that it will have about $1.58 billion of funds at closing, and a majority of the board would be nominated by Sony.</p>\n<p>The deal would expand Sony’s media business in the world’s second-most populous country, while vaulting Zee Chief Executive Officer Punit Goenka to the top of a bigger entity. Goenka, whose removal Zee shareholders have sought, would lead the combined company, according to the terms of the deal.</p>\n<p>Still, the proposed combination needs approval from 75% of Zee shareholders, according to Shriram Subramanian, founder of proxy advisory firm InGovern Research Services Pvt. Ltd. A vote is set to take place after the deal terms are finalized -- Zee and Sony said they’re entering a 90-day exclusive talks period during which they’ll conduct mutual diligence and negotiate a binding agreement.</p>\n<p>The announcement adds another twist to the fate of Zee after Invesco Developing Markets Fund and OFI Global China Fund LLC, which together hold about 17.9% stake in the network, sought an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders last week to oust Goenka along with two board members. The removal was seen as a move to end the sway of founder Subhash Chandra’s family over the company founded in 1992, and which was once Rupert Murdoch’s Indian partner. The two board members resigned with immediate effect.</p>\n<p>“There is nothing wrong in the two companies proposing a merger as even CEOs can initiate merger discussions and then approach shareholders for a vote,” Subramanian said. “Invesco did not have an alternate plan and hence, I would find it surprising if it is not supportive of this merger.

About 53% of the merged entity would be owned by Sony India shareholders and the rest by Zee’s holders, the companies said. Sony shareholders will inject capital into its unit so that it will have about $1.58 billion of funds at closing, and a majority of the board would be nominated by Sony.\nThe deal would expand Sony’s media business in the world’s second-most populous country, while vaulting Zee Chief Executive Officer Punit Goenka to the top of a bigger entity. Goenka, whose removal Zee shareholders have sought, would lead the combined company, according to the terms of the deal.\nStill, the proposed combination needs approval from 75% of Zee shareholders, according to Shriram Subramanian, founder of proxy advisory firm InGovern Research Services Pvt. Ltd. A vote is set to take place after the deal terms are finalized -- Zee and Sony said they’re entering a 90-day exclusive talks period during which they’ll conduct mutual diligence and negotiate a binding agreement.\nThe announcement adds another twist to the fate of Zee after Invesco Developing Markets Fund and OFI Global China Fund LLC, which together hold about 17.9% stake in the network, sought an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders last week to oust Goenka along with two board members. The removal was seen as a move to end the sway of founder Subhash Chandra’s family over the company founded in 1992, and which was once Rupert Murdoch’s Indian partner. The two board members resigned with immediate effect.\n“There is nothing wrong in the two companies proposing a merger as even CEOs can initiate merger discussions and then approach shareholders for a vote,” Subramanian said. “Invesco did not have an alternate plan and hence, I would find it surprising if it is not supportive of this merger. As a fund, they would be interested in financial returns and clean governance.”\nInvesco representatives in India didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Directors present and voting in a Zee board meeting on Tuesday unanimously provided an in-principle approval for the merger, Zee said.\nChandra, a rice-trader-turned-media-mogul, and his family had brought down their stake in Zee to help pare debt at their broader Essel Group. The call to remove Goenka as a director came after Chandra, in a letter dated Aug. 3, said the group had emerged from financial stress and settled 91% of total debt owed to 43 lenders.\n“With Sony as a majority shareholder, and a likely reconstituted board, the merged entity would be the best solution Invesco could have hoped for,” Subramanian said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869692959,"gmtCreate":1632277307371,"gmtModify":1676530741651,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"lates","listText":"lates","text":"lates","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869692959","repostId":"2169658830","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169658830","pubTimestamp":1632276840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169658830?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-22 10:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NASA splits human spaceflight unit in two, reflecting new orbital economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169658830","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"WASHINGTON (REUTERS) -

The company has its production partners ready to ship its vaccine. It also initiated a clinical trial for evaluating a combination of Covid and seasonal influenza vaccines. Still, NVAX stock is poised to trade higher in the coming 12 months for more reasons than that.</p>\n<p>Developed countries are about to push vaccine boosters. When Novavax starts selling its product, it will have a large addressable market.</p>\n<p>NVAX Stock Waits for Japan Start</p>\n<p>In preparation for Novavax’s eventual production, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare said that it will purchase 150 milliondoses of the NVAX vaccine. Takeda is establishing manufacturing capabilities to manufacture TAK-019 (also known as NVX-CoV2373). It will begin distribution in early 2022. Novavax will give Takeda the license and transfer manufacturing technologies.</p>\n<p>Takeda will manufacture the vaccine antigen, while Novavax supplies the Matrix-M adjuvant. That’s the compound administered “alongside vaccines to enhance biological functions: creating robust and long-lasting immune responses that may allow for dose-sparing of vaccines,”according to<i>DrugBank Online</i>.</p>\n<p>Novavax is relying on Takeda to complete the Japanese clinical trial. Takeda is also responsible for the regulatory submission to the country’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). While Takeda works with partners in healthcare in around 80 countries and regions, it is highly familiar with Japan’s regulations. As investors wait another four months for approvals and sales, stocks like<b>Moderna</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MRNA</u></b>) and<b>BioNTech</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>BNTX</u></b>) trade at a bigger market capitalization.</p>\n<p>NVAX stock is relatively smaller and offers better upside for investors willing to wait for the eventual vaccine approvals.</p>\n<p><b>Commercialization Skills Still Needed</b></p>\n<p>Cautious investors should wonder why Novavax is studying combination vaccines when it received no approvals for either one on its own. NanoFlu is still avaccine candidate. It demonstrated significantly stronger immune responses in studies. The company may have hesitancy in focusing first on approval because of its academic mindset. Management is comfortable in studying the vaccine. It lacks a focus and the experience in commercializing the product.</p>\n<p>Novavax may overcome those weaknesses by hiring veteran leaders with experience in commercializing drugs. The longer it waits on building a strong team, the more market share competitors gain. Still, Novavax pre-sold 150 million doses in Japan for Q1/2022.</p>\n<p>Investors may assume that Novavax prices the vaccine at or below<b>Pfizer’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PFE</u></b>) and Moderna’s prices. Pfizer’s shotcosts $23.15 a dose. Moderna charged $25.50 a dose. Novavax could charge $30 to $35 for the combination Covid and influenza dose and $18 to $20 for the Covid vaccine. In the latter case, Novavax will post $3 billion in sales in Japan. At a 50/50 revenue split, Novavax would get $1.5 billion. At a 70/30 split, it will book $2.1 billion in revenue in Japan alone.</p>\n<p>Those figures suggest that waiting for regulatory approvals is just a formality. The pandemic is nowhere close to coming to an end. Even at vaccination rates of over 90% for a country’s population, semi-annual booster shots will sustain Novavax’s future revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Flu-Covid Combo Considered</b></p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Novavax initiated a Phase 1-2 clinical trial to study the combination vaccine for Covid-19and seasonal influenza. It will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity, combining NVX-CoV2373 and NanoFlu vaccine candidates.</p>\n<p>Gregory M. Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.</p>\n<p><b>Your Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Investors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine.

The company has its production partners ready to ship its vaccine. It also initiated a clinical trial for evaluating a combination of Covid and seasonal influenza vaccines. Still, NVAX stock is poised to trade higher in the coming 12 months for more reasons than that.\nDeveloped countries are about to push vaccine boosters. When Novavax starts selling its product, it will have a large addressable market.\nNVAX Stock Waits for Japan Start\nIn preparation for Novavax’s eventual production, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare said that it will purchase 150 milliondoses of the NVAX vaccine. Takeda is establishing manufacturing capabilities to manufacture TAK-019 (also known as NVX-CoV2373). It will begin distribution in early 2022. Novavax will give Takeda the license and transfer manufacturing technologies.\nTakeda will manufacture the vaccine antigen, while Novavax supplies the Matrix-M adjuvant. That’s the compound administered “alongside vaccines to enhance biological functions: creating robust and long-lasting immune responses that may allow for dose-sparing of vaccines,”according toDrugBank Online.\nNovavax is relying on Takeda to complete the Japanese clinical trial. Takeda is also responsible for the regulatory submission to the country’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). While Takeda works with partners in healthcare in around 80 countries and regions, it is highly familiar with Japan’s regulations. As investors wait another four months for approvals and sales, stocks likeModerna(NASDAQ:MRNA) andBioNTech(NASDAQ:BNTX) trade at a bigger market capitalization.\nNVAX stock is relatively smaller and offers better upside for investors willing to wait for the eventual vaccine approvals.\nCommercialization Skills Still Needed\nCautious investors should wonder why Novavax is studying combination vaccines when it received no approvals for either one on its own. NanoFlu is still avaccine candidate. It demonstrated significantly stronger immune responses in studies. The company may have hesitancy in focusing first on approval because of its academic mindset. Management is comfortable in studying the vaccine. It lacks a focus and the experience in commercializing the product.\nNovavax may overcome those weaknesses by hiring veteran leaders with experience in commercializing drugs. The longer it waits on building a strong team, the more market share competitors gain. Still, Novavax pre-sold 150 million doses in Japan for Q1/2022.\nInvestors may assume that Novavax prices the vaccine at or belowPfizer’s(NYSE:PFE) and Moderna’s prices. Pfizer’s shotcosts $23.15 a dose. Moderna charged $25.50 a dose. Novavax could charge $30 to $35 for the combination Covid and influenza dose and $18 to $20 for the Covid vaccine. In the latter case, Novavax will post $3 billion in sales in Japan. At a 50/50 revenue split, Novavax would get $1.5 billion. At a 70/30 split, it will book $2.1 billion in revenue in Japan alone.\nThose figures suggest that waiting for regulatory approvals is just a formality. The pandemic is nowhere close to coming to an end. Even at vaccination rates of over 90% for a country’s population, semi-annual booster shots will sustain Novavax’s future revenue.\nFlu-Covid Combo Considered\nEarlier this month, Novavax initiated a Phase 1-2 clinical trial to study the combination vaccine for Covid-19and seasonal influenza. It will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity, combining NVX-CoV2373 and NanoFlu vaccine candidates.\nGregory M. Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.\nYour Takeaway\nInvestors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine. The revenue potential is far greater than the near-term downside risks.\nInvestors seeking exposure to Covid vaccine makers may consider Pfizer for the dividend income and growth. Moderna and BioNTech are up by too much to consider. Novavax is the next emerging biotechnology firm to grow significantly post-vaccine launch.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":94,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860320772,"gmtCreate":1632138420996,"gmtModify":1676530708106,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860320772","repostId":"1194891884","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194891884","pubTimestamp":1632091615,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194891884?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-20 06:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nike, Costco, FedEx, Salesforce, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194891884","media":"Barrons","summary":"The main event this week will be the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting.

Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”</p>\n<p>And noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.</p>\n<p>“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.\nKozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.\nHe briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.\nHe worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.\nTyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.\nWhile the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.\n\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"\nThe key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.\n\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.\nIn retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.\n“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence.

The video was recorded in an empty auditorium.\n\nApple’s lowest-cost iPad, simply called iPad, is getting an update with a faster A13 processor and a better, 12 megapixel front-facing camera for better video calls, like on Zoom. It’s got a wider lens to capture more people in a single scene and can have an LTE wireless connection.\nIt costs $329 with 64GB of storage. That’s more storage but the same starting price as before. It goes on sale next week.\n\nApple also announced a new iPad Mini, which has a smaller 8.3-inch screen. It has a redesign featuring new, flatter design language, like the iPhone 12. It has smaller bezels with no fingerprint sensor on the front and comes in several colors, including purple.\nThe TouchID sensor has been built into the top button, which turns the screen on and off. It uses an USB-C connector, instead of Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector. It can support a 5G wireless connection. It works with Apple’s stylus, the second-generation Pencil.\nIt starts at $499 and hits stores next week, Apple said.\n\nApple announces new Apple Watch Series 7\nApple’s next product reveal will be the Apple Watch models, Cook said.

Notably, more than 60% of the Company’s newly funded accounts were derived from international markets in the quarter. Growth was driven by enhanced platform capabilities and rising demand for convenient access to global brokerage services.\nUP Fintech Holding Limited Reports Unaudited Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results\n“We maintained our solid business momentum with a high client retention rate and increased operational synergies, ”commented Mr. Wu Tianhua, founder and CEO of UP Fintech. “I am confident in the positive outlook for our Company and our industry. Our singular focus is to employ technology to make investing more efficient and we are committed to increasing the breadth and diversity of our product offerings, as well as leveraging our leading position in underwriting and ESOP (Employee Share Ownership Plans) to attract new clients.”\nDuring the second quarter, the total number of funded accounts increased to 529,100. The Company added more funded accounts in the first six months of 2021 than it did in its entire cumulative operating history. The total account balance increased 188.9% year-over-year to US$23.9 billion as the Company continued to attract new clients from multiple international markets. In Singapore, UP Fintech’s local subsidiary, Tiger Brokers (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., launched new products and in-APP functions such as an industry heatmap, Mini USD/CNH futures, and OSE futures, supplementing the wide range of analytical tools and securities trading functions available on the Company’s platform.\nThe Company also recently announced that it has received approval-in-principle to be admitted as a Clearing Member of The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (CDP), and a trading member of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX) and Singapore Exchange Derivatives Trading Limited. These partnerships aim to improve the user experience and further strengthen the Company’s presence in the Singaporean market.\nThe Company’s ESOP business continued to exhibit healthy growth with 51 new clients, up from 41 new clients in the previous quarter；ESOP adoption is accelerating and in the first six months of 2021 the Company added more new clients than it did in all of 2020. The Company is a leader in providing extensive expertise and guidance for start-ups at every stage of their ESOP from initial establishment through to execution and reporting. In addition, the Company is now offering its ESOP service to A-Share companies, further expanding its prospective client base.\nThe Company served as an underwriter or member of the selling group in 17 IPOs, and in total provided subscriptions to 29 IPOs, including several high profile Hong Kong IPOs such as those of Angelalign (HK:6699) and Nayuki (HK:2150). In addition, The Company completed its own follow-on offering of 6.5 million American Depository Shares in the second quarter and even offered retail investors the opportunity to subscribe through its flagship mobile trading APP, Tiger Trade.\n“While the market will have its ups and downs and competition will remain intense, our innovative platform and technology have been built to create long term value for our clients,” Wu stated. “User experience has always been our top priority and we see significant room for growth as we continue to broaden our global footprint in the near-term.”\n\nSafe Harbor Statement\nThis announcement contains forward-looking statements.

So far his team of computer scientists’ strategy has paid off.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Imagine you had a money-making machine to harvest gains in the stock market while you sat back to enjoy life.</p>\n<p>That’s everyone’s dream, right? Investor Vance Howard thinks he’s found it.</p>\n<p>Howard and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.</p>\n<p>His HCM Tactical Growth Fund&nbsp;HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000&nbsp;benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar. That is no small feat, and not only because it has to overcome a 2.22% fee. Beating the market is simply not easy. His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.</p>\n<p>There are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?</p>\n<p>So-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as you’ll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on “horse sense” — not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.</p>\n<p>Here are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #1: Don’t be emotional</b></p>\n<p>It’s no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.</p>\n<p>Likewise, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd — and crowd psychology — dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.</p>\n<p>To do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #2: Have a system and stick to it</b></p>\n<p>To exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.</p>\n<p>The HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&amp;P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index.

Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #3: Don’t fight the tape</b></p>\n<p>This concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”</p>\n<p>“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”</p>\n<p>In other words, don’t try to be a hero.</p>\n<p>“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.</p>\n<p>Likewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #4: Keep it simple</b></p>\n<p>As you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options.

So far his team of computer scientists’ strategy has paid off.\n\nImagine you had a money-making machine to harvest gains in the stock market while you sat back to enjoy life.\nThat’s everyone’s dream, right? Investor Vance Howard thinks he’s found it.\nHoward and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.\nHis HCM Tactical Growth Fund HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000 benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar. That is no small feat, and not only because it has to overcome a 2.22% fee. Beating the market is simply not easy. His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.\nThere are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?\nSo-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as you’ll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on “horse sense” — not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.\nHere are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.\nLesson #1: Don’t be emotional\nIt’s no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.\nLikewise, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd — and crowd psychology — dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.\nTo do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”\nLesson #2: Have a system and stick to it\nTo exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.\nThe HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.\nWhen the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.\n“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”\nRight now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)\nYour system also has to tell you when to get back in.\n“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.\nYou don’t need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.\n“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”\nHis system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.\n“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.\nLesson #3: Don’t fight the tape\nThis concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”\n“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”\nIn other words, don’t try to be a hero.\n“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.\nLikewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.\nLesson #4: Keep it simple\nAs you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options.

We may end up with a great fall [season].”\nHoward uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too.

An analyst at Baird is even more bullish on&nbsp;the tech giant’s stock&nbsp;ahead of the unveiling.</p>\n<p>Baird analyst William V. Power raised his price target to $170 from $160 in a note to clients on Wednesday, writing that he expects the company to unveil an iPhone 13 that includes incremental upgrades, like an improved battery and camera.</p>\n<p>“Rumors regarding satellite connectivity could provide differentiation at some point, though inclusion in this cycle is less clear,” Power wrote. “In addition to iPhone, we also expect Apple Watch 7, along with other possible updates.”</p>\n<p>Apple stock (ticker: AAPL) fell 1% to $155.11 in Wednesday trading, while the S&amp;P 500 index fell 0.1%. The stock rose 1.6% on Tuesday, after the event was announced.</p>\n<p>Power refers to a Baird survey that found 45% of the 1,500 respondents in the U.S. claim to have used their current iPhone for two years or more, suggesting more people may be thinking about&nbsp;upgrading their device soon.</p>\n<p>“While upgrade cycles have lengthened, we expect the addition of 5G tocontinue to drive a healthy upgrade opportunity over the next several years,” he added.</p>\n<p>He does note that the company is set to face tougher comparisons as sales figures stack up with last year’s pandemic-boosted period. He expects year-over-year growth to slow toward the end of the year, but thinks if such a slowdown spooks the market it could provide a buying opportunity for patient investors.</p>\n<p>“While [year-over-year comparisons] will become more challenging and regulatory pressures could increase, we remain focused on the long-term eco-system opportunity coupled with the company’s strong profitability and cash flow,” Power wrote. “We continue to view shares as attractive for long-term oriented investors.”</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>New iPhones Are Coming.

An analyst at Baird is even more bullish on the tech giant’s stock ahead of the unveiling.\nBaird analyst William V. Power raised his price target to $170 from $160 in a note to clients on Wednesday, writing that he expects the company to unveil an iPhone 13 that includes incremental upgrades, like an improved battery and camera.\n“Rumors regarding satellite connectivity could provide differentiation at some point, though inclusion in this cycle is less clear,” Power wrote. “In addition to iPhone, we also expect Apple Watch 7, along with other possible updates.”\nApple stock (ticker: AAPL) fell 1% to $155.11 in Wednesday trading, while the S&P 500 index fell 0.1%. The stock rose 1.6% on Tuesday, after the event was announced.\nPower refers to a Baird survey that found 45% of the 1,500 respondents in the U.S. claim to have used their current iPhone for two years or more, suggesting more people may be thinking about upgrading their device soon.\n“While upgrade cycles have lengthened, we expect the addition of 5G tocontinue to drive a healthy upgrade opportunity over the next several years,” he added.\nHe does note that the company is set to face tougher comparisons as sales figures stack up with last year’s pandemic-boosted period. He expects year-over-year growth to slow toward the end of the year, but thinks if such a slowdown spooks the market it could provide a buying opportunity for patient investors.\n“While [year-over-year comparisons] will become more challenging and regulatory pressures could increase, we remain focused on the long-term eco-system opportunity coupled with the company’s strong profitability and cash flow,” Power wrote. “We continue to view shares as attractive for long-term oriented investors.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814049612,"gmtCreate":1630732373936,"gmtModify":1676530387420,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/814049612","repostId":"1198573200","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860329332,"gmtCreate":1632138451826,"gmtModify":1676530708114,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860329332","repostId":"1133342003","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133342003","pubTimestamp":1632137392,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1133342003?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-20 19:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Developed World Boosters Offer Big Market for Eventual Novavax Vaccine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133342003","media":"Investorplace","summary":"NVAX stock looks like the next emerging biotech to grow significantly with post-vaccine launch.\n\nDes","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>NVAX stock looks like the next emerging biotech to grow significantly with post-vaccine launch.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Despite delays in obtaining approval for its Covid-19 vaccine,&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVAX\">Novavax</a> </b>has a competitive edge compared to its peers.

This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe general business cycle - when companies hire fewer workers during down economic periods, demand for the company’s services will decline.\nWhile Sterling is not immune to the ups and downs of the business cycle and potential future pandemic variant effects on economic activity, the firm has rebounded impressively and appears positioned to compete in a growing market.\nAs for valuation, compared to First Advantage, which went public earlier in 2021 and performed since its debut, STER appears reasonably valued on a revenue multiple basis as the firm is growing revenue at a faster rate. STER is nearing EPS breakeven.\nGiven the company’s strong rebound after the 2020 pandemic period and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth a close look.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869692959,"gmtCreate":1632277307371,"gmtModify":1676530741651,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"lates","listText":"lates","text":"lates","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869692959","repostId":"2169658830","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169658830","pubTimestamp":1632276840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169658830?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-22 10:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NASA splits human spaceflight unit in two, reflecting new orbital economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169658830","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"WASHINGTON (REUTERS) -

It has roughly doubled again since then.\nSome measures of service activity have dipped, prompting forecasters to mark down their outlooks for economic growth this year.\nThe Fed may well follow suit.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860329447,"gmtCreate":1632138520289,"gmtModify":1676530708129,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860329447","repostId":"2168502501","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860329667,"gmtCreate":1632138493259,"gmtModify":1676530708114,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860329667","repostId":"1112144590","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112144590","pubTimestamp":1632132479,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1112144590?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-20 18:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin Drops Below $45,000.

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.</p>\n<p>He briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.</p>\n<p>He worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”</p>\n<p>And noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.</p>\n<p>“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.\nKozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.\nHe briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.\nHe worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.\nTyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.\nWhile the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.\n\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"\nThe key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.\n\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.\nIn retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.\n“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.\n“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”\nActually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.\nThe Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.\nKozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.\nKozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.\nHe was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.\nKozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.\n“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”\nOf course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.\nKozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.\nIn 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.\nMorgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.\nGetting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.\n“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.\n“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”\nBut that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.\n“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”\nWhen Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.\nIf it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.\nKozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.\nPrior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.\n“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”\nRedemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”\nIn prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.\nSince his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.\nKozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.\nHe also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.\nKozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”\nAnd noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”\nUltimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.\n“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889512033,"gmtCreate":1631157649522,"gmtModify":1676530483054,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889512033","repostId":"1180369311","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180369311","pubTimestamp":1631156393,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180369311?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-09 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why did Square Stock Fall on Wednesday?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180369311","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There are a few news items affecting shares of the fintech specialist.","content":"<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p>The stock market was having a generally weak session on Wednesday, with all three major averages in the red.However,<b>Square</b>&nbsp;has been a major underperformer.

Deliveries were first halted because the company and the Federal Aviation Administration began taking a deeper look at&nbsp;the plane’s manufacturing defects. The holdup has choked off an important source of cash for Boeing and complicated plans for airlines.</p>\n<p>The impasse has kept Boeing from moving more than $25 billion worth of Dreamliners. Boeing said it had about 100 of the jets in its inventory awaiting delivery at the end of June. List prices for Dreamliners start around $250 million, but customers typically pay about half that after customary discounts. First delivered in 2011, the Dreamliner has had an excellent safety record and the in-service fleet has seen heavy use during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>At an Aug. 2 meeting, Boeing’s quality-assurance specialists told their FAA counterparts that three aircraft were representative of how Boeing workers put together 106 completed aircraft awaiting delivery, the people familiar with the matter said. It was part of a broader, monthslong effort to persuade the agency to&nbsp;approve an inspection method&nbsp;that would speed deliveries with targeted checks rather than nose-to-tail teardowns.</p>\n<p>However, at least one other Boeing engineer told the regulator he didn’t support that assessment, these people said. He disagreed that the trio of planes reflected how the rest of the undelivered planes were built. The engineer is among a group of Boeing employees who represent the FAA internally at the company, one of these people said.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19a1f36f4c024e20ea0bb4860ad7278a\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Boeing’s plant in Everett, Wash.

The Boeing quality-assurance team chose the three jets because they were readily available for inspection in the factory, and the team determined they had undergone the same production process as the other aircraft, one of these people said.</p>\n<p>After the Aug. 2 presentation, the FAA flagged internal company disagreements over the aircraft sample size and restated its requirement that Boeing’s employee group that acts as in-house regulators need to also concur with the company’s proposals, people familiar with the matter said.

An American Airlines Dreamliner landing in Amsterdam last April.</span></p>\n<p>The FAA’s reaction to the Aug. 2 Boeing presentation is an example of the scrutiny that the Chicago-based aerospace giant is facing from its primary regulator following two 737 MAX crashes. The FAA kept that aircraft grounded for nearly two years after&nbsp;two of those jets crashed and killed 346 people&nbsp;in late 2018 and early 2019. U.S. lawmakers and others criticized the agency’s oversight of Boeing during that plane’s development and for failing to take drastic action to prevent the second crash. The FAA is also&nbsp;closely scrutinizing Boeing’s newest jet, the 777X, and detailed earlier this year how that plane wasn’t ready for key safety approvals.</p>\n<p>The FAA last year launched a broad review of how Boeing produces the Dreamliner, and inspections in the months since have found additional defects on the plane. The Aug. 2 meeting centered on areas surrounding passenger and cargo doors. The broader 787 inspection proposal is complex and involves a mix of physical inspections and data analysis related to multiple sections of the aircraft.</p>\n<p>After pausing deliveries in October 2020, Boeing had&nbsp;restarted handing over the planes&nbsp;to customers for two months this past March, but again&nbsp;stopped in May when the FAA demanded more data&nbsp;about Dreamliner inspections.</p>\n<p>At FAA headquarters, senior officials have been encouraged by Boeing promptly alerting the agency to newly discovered quality issues with the 787, people familiar with the agency’s discussions said. A recent example came earlier this summer when Boeing notified regulators of a defect that&nbsp;prompted Boeing to slow production&nbsp;so workers could fix the aircraft. Additional defects have since been identified, people familiar with the matter said.</p>\n<p>However, regulators have also at times been frustrated by a perception that Boeing wants the agency to rubber-stamp its proposals without seeing its engineers’ homework, people familiar with the matter said.</p>\n<p>Boeing Chief Executive David Calhoun has said the company wouldn’t pressure the agency to move faster, adding the FAA rightfully wants more information about proposed inspections. “It would be unfair of us to shove it down the FAA’s throat,” he said in June.</p>\n<p>The recent Dreamliner quality issues emerged in summer last year. Boeing&nbsp;voluntarily grounded eight of the aircraft&nbsp;after engineers determined that two defects in the same location could pose a potential hazard in extreme flying conditions. Engineers determined the issues by themselves don’t pose immediate safety risks, but could result in premature fatigue and pose structural issues earlier than anticipated. The defects generally are related to tiny gaps where sections of the aircraft are joined together.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

customers may get chance to redo orders as halt lingers\nBoeing first paused 787 Dreamliner deliveries in October 2020, and about 100 completed aircraft awaited delivery at the end of June, worth more than $25 billion.\nDeliveries of Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner will likely remain halted until at least late October as the plane maker has been unable to persuade air-safety regulators to approve its proposal to inspect the aircraft, people familiar with the matter said.\nWith almost all deliveries paused for nearly a year, airlines and other Boeing customers increasingly are able to use the delay to walk away from deliveries or negotiate for concessions from the aerospace giant. Deliveries were first halted because the company and the Federal Aviation Administration began taking a deeper look at the plane’s manufacturing defects. The holdup has choked off an important source of cash for Boeing and complicated plans for airlines.\nThe impasse has kept Boeing from moving more than $25 billion worth of Dreamliners. Boeing said it had about 100 of the jets in its inventory awaiting delivery at the end of June. List prices for Dreamliners start around $250 million, but customers typically pay about half that after customary discounts. First delivered in 2011, the Dreamliner has had an excellent safety record and the in-service fleet has seen heavy use during the pandemic.\nAt an Aug. 2 meeting, Boeing’s quality-assurance specialists told their FAA counterparts that three aircraft were representative of how Boeing workers put together 106 completed aircraft awaiting delivery, the people familiar with the matter said. It was part of a broader, monthslong effort to persuade the agency to approve an inspection method that would speed deliveries with targeted checks rather than nose-to-tail teardowns.\nHowever, at least one other Boeing engineer told the regulator he didn’t support that assessment, these people said. He disagreed that the trio of planes reflected how the rest of the undelivered planes were built. The engineer is among a group of Boeing employees who represent the FAA internally at the company, one of these people said.\nBoeing’s plant in Everett, Wash. The company and air-safety regulators remain at odds over how the 787 Dreamliner will be inspected.\nThe subset of three planes had recently rolled off the assembly line close together, people familiar with the matter said. The Boeing quality-assurance team chose the three jets because they were readily available for inspection in the factory, and the team determined they had undergone the same production process as the other aircraft, one of these people said.\nAfter the Aug. 2 presentation, the FAA flagged internal company disagreements over the aircraft sample size and restated its requirement that Boeing’s employee group that acts as in-house regulators need to also concur with the company’s proposals, people familiar with the matter said. The company agreed to get a signoff from the employee group, the people said. Boeing also agreed to broaden the sample size to about 10 aircraft, one of these people said.\nA Boeing spokesman said the company was committed to working with full transparency with regulators through a rigorous process that has already involved hundreds of hours of meetings and working sessions. He said the company appreciated the FAA’s direction and feedback.\n“Boeing wants and expects our teammates to speak freely, ask questions and present different perspectives about very complex and technical issues,” the spokesman said.\nAn FAA spokeswoman said the agency won’t sign off on Boeing’s inspections “until our safety experts are satisfied.”\nAs the delivery halt continues, Boeing faces increasing financial exposure as a growing number of deliveries become delayed by a year or more. Aircraft buyers can generally walk away—without financial penalty—under the so-called 12-month rule typically included in purchasing agreements. Aviation data provider Ascend by Cirium estimates that 54, or about half, of the Dreamliners in Boeing’s inventory could be at risk by Oct. 1.\nSo far, Avolon Holdings Ltd. has canceled two of its Dreamliners awaiting delivery, according to the aviation data provider. The aircraft lessor has threatened to cancel three other 787 deliveries as it negotiates with Boeing, people familiar with the matter said.\nAmerican Airlines Group Inc. is considering using its contractual leverage to cancel some of its Dreamliner deliveries, people familiar with the matter said.
