Facebook parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. has cut back on hiring and Mr. Musk&#39;s Tesla Inc. is trimming staff.</p><p>The question remains whether it is really possible to force the eccentric billionaire -- known for eschewing norms even when it gets him in legal trouble -- to buy a company he doesn&#39;t want to own.</p><p>&#34;What are they going to do if there is a judgment and he says, &#39;Well, I&#39;m still not going to buy it&#39;?&#34; said Mr. Goshen. &#34;They don&#39;t really have tools to force him to go through with it. You don&#39;t put people in jail because they don&#39;t buy something.&#34;</p><p>There have been a few examples of buyers being forced to follow through with purchases under the &#34;specific-performance&#34; clause Mr. Musk agreed to, but most were small deals.

Twitter has recently retained Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen &amp; Katz, people familiar with the matter said, while Mr. Musk is using Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP.

In May, he announced a hiring freeze and belt tightening, saying he was taking action during the takeover because economic conditions had worsened and Twitter couldn&#39;t assume the deal with Mr. Musk would close. This past week, he cut recruiting staff.</p><p>Investors appear unnerved by the latest twist, sending Twitter&#39;s stock 4.81% lower in Friday after-hours trading following Mr. Musk&#39;s disclosure.</p><h2>Musk&#39;s romp</h2><p>Mr. Musk&#39;s Twitter romp began with the unannounced purchase of $22.8 million of Twitter shares on Jan. 31. He kept buying in February and March, building a roughly 9% stake for $2.6 billion and becoming the largest individual investor.</p><p>He took public jabs at Twitter, polling his followers on the site over whether it adheres to free-speech principles and publicly toying with the idea of started a rival. By the time his stake became public on April 4, Mr. Musk had been secretly talking to Twitter for nine days.</p><p>He initially reached out to Jack Dorsey, the company&#39;s co-founder and a friend of Mr. Musk&#39;s, then spoke to director Egon Durban, co-CEO of private-equity firm Silver Lake, another acquaintance, according to a public filing on the deal.</p><p>The discussions began congenially, with Mr. Musk saying he might want to join the board. Then on Apr. 9, hours before taking the board seat Twitter had agreed to give him, he withdrew. Four days later, he made an unsolicited takeover offer at $54.20 a share and made the offer public the subsequent day.</p><p>Twitter initially seemed to turn up its nose but eventually relented -- in part because directors concluded that no one else was likely to have the interest or ability to buy the company at the price Mr. Musk was offering. The billionaire agreed to waive detailed due diligence of Twitter&#39;s business.</p><p>Even as the transaction was coming together, Mr. Musk was voicing concerns about a darkening economic and business outlook. In late March, Tesla had to temporarily shut its auto plant in Shanghai, the company&#39;s largest, as China implemented pandemic restrictions, sending the stock steadily lower. And, on an April 20 earnings call, Mr. Musk talked about mounting inflationary pressures.</p><p>On May 13, Mr. Musk shocked many people involved in the deal with a predawn tweet saying the deal was &#34;temporarily on hold.&#34; He later added he remained committed to seeing it through. He cited questions about Twitter&#39;s estimate that fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily average users are spam or fake accounts.</p><p>Fake accounts are certainly a concern for social-media companies. But Mr. Musk had long been aware of fake accounts on Twitter -- he tweeted about it at least as far back as 2018 -- and Twitter&#39;s estimate hadn&#39;t changed in years. Mr. Musk said repeatedly that part of his goal as owner would be, as he put it in an April 21 tweet, to &#34;defeat the spam bots or die trying!&#34;</p><p>The May 13 bombshell kicked off weeks of public and private back and forth between Mr. Musk, Mr. Agrawal and lawyers and advisers for both sides, according to Friday&#39;s filing. After Mr. Agrawal on May 16 tweeted an explanation of the company&#39;s spam accounting, Mr. Musk responded with a poop emoji, then followed up with a question: &#34;So how do advertisers know what they&#39;re getting for their money? This is fundamental to the financial health of Twitter.&#34;</p><p>Asked on Twitter on May 26 about the prospects of a recession, Mr. Musk said he expected one that could last 12 to 18 months. On May 24, Tesla shares hit their lowest point since June 2021, down nearly 50% from their all-time high in November. The fall had knocked more than $100 billion off Mr. Musk&#39;s net worth, weakening a key asset he was using to help fund the Twitter deal.</p><p>As he was lining up financing, Mr. Musk sold $8.5 billion of Tesla stock over three days. Afterward, he said he planned to sell no further shares. He remains the auto maker&#39;s largest investor, with a stake of around 16%, and planned to borrow against his stake. His original financing plan for Twitter included $12.5 billion from margin loans backed by Tesla stock he owns. But Tesla&#39;s share price kept falling, effectively increasing the number of shares Mr. Musk would have to pledge as collateral.</p><p>About a month after the deal -- with Tesla shares now down 37% from when Mr. Musk agreed to buy Twitter -- Mr. Musk filed a revised funding plan that eliminated the margin loans. Instead, he pledged more equity financing. The funding details left questions about how Mr. Musk would come up with roughly $14 billion of his financing package that he still needed to secure himself or through outside investors.</p><h2>Twitter&#39;s troubles</h2><p>On April 21, Twitter rival <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. had spooked investors with disappointing earnings and a stark warning of trouble in the digital ad market. Twitter, soon after, withdrew all previously provided goals and outlooks with its first quarter earnings, and didn&#39;t provide any forward-looking guidance.</p><p>On May 12, Twitter&#39;s Mr. Agrawal told staff the company was imposing a hiring freeze and cutting back on spending.</p><p>While some Twitter employees expressed optimism that Mr. Musk might reinvigorate the company, many were bewildered about their futures and upset at Mr. Musk&#39;s incessant public hectoring, The Wall Street Journal has reported.</p><p>In the month after the deal was inked, executives held more than a dozen companywide or division-wide meetings to address employee questions. One senior Twitter executive, in a May internal note, called it a &#34;chaos tax.&#34;</p><p>When Mr. Musk on Friday said he was aiming to abandon the deal, a Twitter executive urged employees to refrain from commenting on the matter, citing planned legal action, according to a message viewed by the Journal. That message was shared with outsiders within an hour.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ab4f1634fa3fac93ce340fd2f783880\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Mr. Musk on Saturday addressed attendees at the annual Allen &amp; Co. gathering of media and tech leaders in Sun Valley, Idaho, mostly steering clear of Twitter. He focused his remarks on explaining how he forms his opinions and what goes into the conclusions he reaches.</p><p>At one point, he did ask his audience how many thought the number of fake accounts on Twitter was less than 5%, said an attendee, and people seemed hesitant to raise a hand.</p></body></html>","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>Twitter Didn't Seek a Sale.

His original financing plan for Twitter included $12.5 billion from margin loans backed by Tesla stock he owns. But Tesla's share price kept falling, effectively increasing the number of shares Mr. Musk would have to pledge as collateral.About a month after the deal -- with Tesla shares now down 37% from when Mr. Musk agreed to buy Twitter -- Mr. Musk filed a revised funding plan that eliminated the margin loans. Instead, he pledged more equity financing. The funding details left questions about how Mr. Musk would come up with roughly $14 billion of his financing package that he still needed to secure himself or through outside investors.Twitter's troublesOn April 21, Twitter rival Snap Inc. had spooked investors with disappointing earnings and a stark warning of trouble in the digital ad market. Twitter, soon after, withdrew all previously provided goals and outlooks with its first quarter earnings, and didn't provide any forward-looking guidance.On May 12, Twitter's Mr. Agrawal told staff the company was imposing a hiring freeze and cutting back on spending.While some Twitter employees expressed optimism that Mr. Musk might reinvigorate the company, many were bewildered about their futures and upset at Mr. Musk's incessant public hectoring, The Wall Street Journal has reported.In the month after the deal was inked, executives held more than a dozen companywide or division-wide meetings to address employee questions. One senior Twitter executive, in a May internal note, called it a \"chaos tax.\"When Mr. Musk on Friday said he was aiming to abandon the deal, a Twitter executive urged employees to refrain from commenting on the matter, citing planned legal action, according to a message viewed by the Journal. That message was shared with outsiders within an hour.Mr. Musk on Saturday addressed attendees at the annual Allen & Co. gathering of media and tech leaders in Sun Valley, Idaho, mostly steering clear of Twitter. He focused his remarks on explaining how he forms his opinions and what goes into the conclusions he reaches.At one point, he did ask his audience how many thought the number of fake accounts on Twitter was less than 5%, said an attendee, and people seemed hesitant to raise a hand.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":165,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071684540,"gmtCreate":1657521499880,"gmtModify":1676536019665,"author":{"id":"4112219407964472","authorId":"4112219407964472","name":"Shamal","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/26f98a868439b7f5a270d37355825b9d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071684540","repostId":"1189729225","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189729225","pubTimestamp":1657266289,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189729225?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-08 15:44","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"These 3 REITs Are Hitting a 52-Week Low: Are They a Bargain?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189729225","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"More REITs are now hitting a year-low as they grapple with higher interest rates.

52-week low that deserve a second look.</p><p><b>Daiwa House Logistics Trust (SGX: DHLU)</b></p><p>Daiwa House Logistics Trust, or DHLT, is a logistics-focused REIT with a portfolio of 14 modern logistics properties in Japan valued at S$900 million as of 31 December 2021.</p><p>The properties enjoy a high occupancy rate of 98.6% with a portfolio weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 6.8

up to potential acquisitions to build up its portfolio and DPU.</p><p>The sponsor has a pipeline of US$15 billion worth of data centres that can be injected into DCR in the future.</p><p><b>Cromwell European REIT (SGX: CWBU)</b></p><p>Cromwell European REIT, or CEREIT, invests in a portfolio of commercial properties located across Europe.</p><p>Its portfolio, valued at €2.5 billion, comprises more than 100 predominantly freehold properties in Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and the UK.</p><p>CEREIT’s unit price has declined by 22.5% year to date to hit close to its 52-week low of EUR 1.93.</p><p>The REIT reported a respectable set of financial numbers for 1Q2022, with gross revenue rising by 8.5% year on year to €52.6

He bought his first stock in the early 1940s at age 11 as the S&amp;P 500 was on its way to a 35% dip that bottomed in 1942. Since then, he&#39;s managed through 12 more bear markets not including this one.</p><p>Despite those downturns, Buffett has managed to create billions in value for himself and the shareholders of the company he runs, Berkshire Hathaway. If any investor is qualified to share wisdom on investing in bear markets, it&#39;s Buffett.</p><p>So it makes sense to lean on his expertise to get through this tough climate with your wealth intact, right? To get you started, here are four of Buffett&#39;s famous rules for investing in a bear market.</p><p>1. Buy quality merchandise on sale</p><blockquote><i>&#34;Whether we&#39;re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>Buffett invests in high-quality businesses -- companies with a proven ability to create shareholder value through all economic climates. In his view, bear markets provide opportunities to buy these quality stocks at lower prices.</p><p>As an example, Buffett&#39;s response earlier this year to the tech stock sell-off was to buy more of his favorite technology company, Apple. Although Apple already comprised more than 40% of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio, Buffett bought another 3.78 million shares.</p><p>You can mimic his strategy by identifying stocks you love for their long-term prospects. If your budget allows, increase your investing activity and pad your share counts while prices remain low.</p><p>2. Hold forever</p><blockquote><i>&#34;Our favorite holding period is forever.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>When you buy stocks you&#39;d like to hold forever, bear markets become far less stressful. Since your plan is to hold for the long run, you don&#39;t have to do anything when the market goes sideways. No reshuffling your portfolio and no guessing when share prices will bottom out. Your only job is to wait.</p><p>3. Stay calm</p><blockquote><i>&#34;The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>It&#39;s normal and useful to second-guess your &#34;hold forever&#34; plan when circumstances change. Certainly, there will be times when you should drop a stock you thought was a keeper.</p><p>The distinction you must make is whether circumstances have changed permanently or temporarily. And that&#39;s easier to do when you can analyze what&#39;s happening calmly and rationally. If you let your emotions take over, they can convince you to scrap your plan, cut your losses, or take some other dramatic action that&#39;s sure to dampen your long-term returns.</p><p>4. Keep your distance</p><p>Buffett said this when asked what advice he had for investors in tough markets:<i>&#34;I would tell them: Don&#39;t watch the market too closely.&#34;</i></p><p>Let&#39;s say you&#39;re confident that your &#34;hold forever&#34; stocks can withstand a temporary bear market. And for that reason, you&#39;re not going to react to falling share prices. In that scenario, what&#39;s the benefit of tracking every bump along the way? There isn&#39;t one.</p><p>It&#39;s OK to keep some distance from financial headlines when the market is going crazy.

He bought his first stock in the early 1940s at age 11 as the S&P 500 was on its way to a 35% dip that bottomed in 1942. Since then, he's managed through 12 more bear markets not including this one.Despite those downturns, Buffett has managed to create billions in value for himself and the shareholders of the company he runs, Berkshire Hathaway. If any investor is qualified to share wisdom on investing in bear markets, it's Buffett.So it makes sense to lean on his expertise to get through this tough climate with your wealth intact, right? To get you started, here are four of Buffett's famous rules for investing in a bear market.1. Buy quality merchandise on sale\"Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.\"Buffett invests in high-quality businesses -- companies with a proven ability to create shareholder value through all economic climates. In his view, bear markets provide opportunities to buy these quality stocks at lower prices.As an example, Buffett's response earlier this year to the tech stock sell-off was to buy more of his favorite technology company, Apple. Although Apple already comprised more than 40% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, Buffett bought another 3.78 million shares.You can mimic his strategy by identifying stocks you love for their long-term prospects. If your budget allows, increase your investing activity and pad your share counts while prices remain low.2. Hold forever\"Our favorite holding period is forever.\"When you buy stocks you'd like to hold forever, bear markets become far less stressful. Since your plan is to hold for the long run, you don't have to do anything when the market goes sideways. No reshuffling your portfolio and no guessing when share prices will bottom out. Your only job is to wait.3. Stay calm\"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.\"It's normal and useful to second-guess your \"hold forever\" plan when circumstances change. Certainly, there will be times when you should drop a stock you thought was a keeper.The distinction you must make is whether circumstances have changed permanently or temporarily. And that's easier to do when you can analyze what's happening calmly and rationally. If you let your emotions take over, they can convince you to scrap your plan, cut your losses, or take some other dramatic action that's sure to dampen your long-term returns.4. Keep your distanceBuffett said this when asked what advice he had for investors in tough markets:\"I would tell them: Don't watch the market too closely.\"Let's say you're confident that your \"hold forever\" stocks can withstand a temporary bear market. And for that reason, you're not going to react to falling share prices. In that scenario, what's the benefit of tracking every bump along the way? There isn't one.It's OK to keep some distance from financial headlines when the market is going crazy. Consider it a survival strategy that helps you stay calm and stick to your investing plan.Buy or do nothingWhen a bear market sets in, you'll see Buffett mostly buy or hold. If you're questioning whether those are the right moves for your portfolio, remember this: Buffett is worth about $95 billion, and he has invested through more bear markets than almost anyone. His tactics can help you emerge from this bear market stronger and wealthier than ever.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9048350703,"gmtCreate":1656145959302,"gmtModify":1676535776510,"author":{"id":"4112219407964472","authorId":"4112219407964472","name":"Shamal","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/26f98a868439b7f5a270d37355825b9d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello World","listText":"Hello World","text":"Hello World","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9048350703","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9071684605,"gmtCreate":1657521481707,"gmtModify":1676536019657,"author":{"id":"4112219407964472","authorId":"4112219407964472","name":"Shamal","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/26f98a868439b7f5a270d37355825b9d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okielah&nbsp;","listText":"Okielah&nbsp;","text":"Okielah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071684605","repostId":"1152771990","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071684752,"gmtCreate":1657521539976,"gmtModify":1676536019665,"author":{"id":"4112219407964472","authorId":"4112219407964472","name":"Shamal","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/26f98a868439b7f5a270d37355825b9d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🫥","listText":"🫥","text":"🫥","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071684752","repostId":"2250606606","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":165,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071687626,"gmtCreate":1657521603165,"gmtModify":1676536019681,"author":{"id":"4112219407964472","authorId":"4112219407964472","name":"Shamal","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/26f98a868439b7f5a270d37355825b9d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🫡","listText":"🫡","text":"🫡","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071687626","repostId":"1103433599","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103433599","pubTimestamp":1657503726,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103433599?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-11 09:42","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"3 Inflation-Busting Singapore Stocks for Your Watchlist","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103433599","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"Inflation is the talk of the town as food prices have risen sharply.

This good performance was attributable to strong performances from its Plantation and Sugar milling segment, aided by firm palm oil prices.Source: Wilmar’s 1Q2022 Financial Summary, Revenue and Core Net ProfitWilmar’s expansion into more flour milling plants in 2021 has enabled the group to fulfil increased demand.This expansion drove volume growth in flour products that resulted in a growth in sales volume for medium pack and bulk food products to 4.6 million metric tonnes, compared with 4.5 million metric tonnes a year ago.Overall, inclusive of non-operating gains, the group’s total net profit for 1Q2022 rose 17.8% year on year to US$530.3 million.2.

Japfa has two main business segments; Animal Protein, and Dairy.Japfa has a complete integrated value chain from upstream; which deals with animal feed production and breeding farms, to downstream; which deals with processing and distribution.Source: Japfa 1Q2022 investor presentation, business segments breakdownGeographically, Japfa’s revenue comes from Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, and China.Japfa is currently the second largest poultry company in Indonesia.In its 2022 corporate presentation, Japfa’s poultry feed has an approximate 21% market share in Indonesia, according to research firm Frost and Sullivan.In view of the chicken ban imposed by Malaysia on Singapore from 1 June 2022, Singapore had also started talks with Indonesia to include the country as an alternative chicken supplier.On June 30, Indonesia was approved as a new source for the import of chilled, frozen and processed chickens into Singapore.With this development Japfa will be able to benefit from the political tailwind.Japfa reported 1Q2022 revenue of US$1.25 billion, representing a year on year increase of 13%, mainly driven by higher sales across all its operating segments.However, as a result of high global raw material prices, inflationary pressures, the Asian swine flu, and COVID-19, net profit plunged 64.3% year on year to US$17.3 million for the quarter.Japfa has generally been able to pass on higher raw material costs in its selling prices.With the higher expected average selling prices for feed around the world, Japfa is likely to benefit from this trend.3.
