$BABA was fined $373,000 for subsidiaries not reporting deals.

The market response was a ~8% decline in the share price. A $24 Billion reduction in market value, from just $373,000 of fines.

Meanwhile $GME is up 10%+ on news of a stock split.

Efficient markets though right?

RT @WTCM3: surprising from a 2016 writeup on $BLK: "Had you bought BlackRock at the peak of the market on October 9, 2007, there wouldn’t have been a single day where your BlackRock holding, measured from its October 9th purchase date, would have cumulatively underperformed the S&P 500."

Ok, the acquisition of $IS by $U...might be ok. No opinion really on it because I don't know $IS well enough.

But WHY in the world is $U doing a buyback, let alone a $2.5B one? The company is not even profitable yet...

Even when inflation gets under control, don’t expect that to improve attitudes. This paper shows consumers overestimate inflation & future inflation, especially after living through it. And they don’t notice when inflation eases off. Via @andre_spicer https://t.co/3H3aDoXUZV https://t.co/gRc7s2fbkV
