- 6:01Speaker 1: received positively. They're talking about their their chief financial officers anyway, Uh,
- 6:07Speaker 1: substantial increase to earnings after the deal gets done and
- 6:11Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Investors want to hear. Sim attack

- 6:51Speaker 1: York Melon down seven tenths of a percent. I just
- 6:53Speaker 1: want to come back to Twitter because, as you guys
- 6:56Speaker 1: have just mentioned, you Dave and of course around Charlie
- 6:58Speaker 1: up the most and more than two men after Microsoft
- 7:01Speaker 1: degree to by link In because now people say, okay,
- 7:04Speaker 1: M and A, the animal spirits are alive and well.
- 7:06Speaker 1: But it's it's interesting that not only does this give
- 7:09Speaker 1: the market a sense of what larger, older tech companies
- 7:11Speaker 1: may be willing to pay for younger ones like Twitter
- 7:14Speaker 1: or yelp uh an analyst at manes manes Manus Crept,
- 7:18Speaker 1: Speed and Heart, James kcmac, says it puts those companies
- 7:22Speaker 1: more into play because now we're seeing concrete evidence of
- 7:25Speaker 1: how important data users and owning a component of time
- 7:28Speaker 1: spent r I would drank Twitter nearer or the top
- 7:31Speaker 1: of that list, and U ANALYSTI Goldman Saxon note last
- 7:34Speaker 1: week said the market for mergers and acquisitions in tech
- 7:37Speaker 1: is healthier than the headline volumes suggest, and in fact,
- 7:40Speaker 1: in a note written before this morning's deal, Goldman Analysts
- 7:43Speaker 1: added linked In, among others, to their proprietary proprietary basket
- 7:47Speaker 1: of companies that they say have at least a fifteen
- 7:50Speaker 1: percent of seeing strategic em and action the twelve months.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I bet they boost those sods nowadays. May well be
- 7:55Speaker 1: the case. You know, you get this sort of distressing
- 7:57Speaker 1: pattern in the wake of events like last weekend's mass
- 8:01Speaker 1: shooting in Florida, where gunstocks do well, people figure that
- 8:07Speaker 1: you're going to get more restrictions on guns. These politicians
- 8:11Speaker 1: talk about that, and then there's this anticipation that people
- 8:15Speaker 1: are gonna want to buy the guns before the restrictions
- 8:17Speaker 1: go into effect. I mean, we certainly saw that play
- 8:20Speaker 1: out today. You look at Smith and Wesson Holding with
- 8:22Speaker 1: a game of six point nine percent, Star Murder doing
- 8:25Speaker 1: even better. That stock up eight and a half percent today.
- 8:28Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna tell you about the shares of Facebook.
- 8:31Speaker 1: They were lower today by about two and a quarter percent. Now,
- 8:35Speaker 1: according to Andrew Left of Citron Research, this is a
- 8:39Speaker 1: short seller. Facebook is too expensive and we'll lose market
- 8:43Speaker 1: share to competing social media platforms such as Snapchat once again.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Shares of Facebook down two and a quarter percent today. Well,
- 8:53Speaker 1: step away from social media is something that's big and heavy.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Airlines and in fact, US Airlines among the worst performing
- 8:59Speaker 1: stocks today as revenue looked weaker than analysts expected, fuel
- 9:03Speaker 1: prices continuing to rise. We have United Airlines down more
- 9:08Speaker 1: than four percent of forty four dollars and change. Another
- 9:11Speaker 1: big loser. American Airlines also down four percent, but you
- 9:14Speaker 1: just have to look at Delta Air and Southwest. And
- 9:16Speaker 1: of course this follows on the heels of some pretty
- 9:18Speaker 1: decent games last week. Pam. Alright, let's turn our attention
- 9:21Speaker 1: now to the Volatility Index report and of course brought

- 9:47Speaker 1: best gage of fear in the market. Uh. This move
- 9:50Speaker 1: higher is the highest since February. Alright, Dave, you're h hi.
- 9:58Speaker 1: My name is Dave Worth. It are just what do
- 10:02Speaker 1: you think you're doing? We're going for the pants down
- 10:06Speaker 1: the door to Dave. Dave. Dave Wilson is here with
- 10:12Speaker 1: his stock of the day. Indeed, vernet X Holding this
- 10:16Speaker 1: is a technology company has been publicly traded since shares
- 10:21Speaker 1: listed under the ticker VHC. Now vernet X doesn't have
- 10:24Speaker 1: much of a business. Data combined by Bloomberg shows total
- 10:27Speaker 1: revenue since going public has been about thirteen million dollars.
- 10:32Speaker 1: That's million with an M you have. The company's market
- 10:35Speaker 1: value once succeeded two billion dollars and ended last week
- 10:38Speaker 1: at two hundred and seventy nine million. Vernet x's value
- 10:41Speaker 1: lies with its patents. In February, the company won a
- 10:45Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty five point six million dollar award
- 10:47Speaker 1: from a Texas jury in a patent lawsuit against Apple.
- 10:51Speaker 1: The case centered on whether the iphonemaker's FaceTime I message
- 10:55Speaker 1: and other services infringe on vernet x's technology for secure
- 10:59Speaker 1: commun occasions. The jury found Apple's infringement was willful, which
- 11:04Speaker 1: meant they knew about the patents and went ahead anyway.
- 11:07Speaker 1: This raised the possibility that the judge could impose triple damages.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Why bring all this up today? Well, the Supreme Court
- 11:14Speaker 1: made it easier for judges to impose triple damages. They
- 11:18Speaker 1: voted unanimously that a federal appeals court limages limits on
- 11:23Speaker 1: these kinds of damage awards was overly rigid, and in response,
- 11:28Speaker 1: shares of vernet x gained as much as eight point
- 11:30Speaker 1: eight percent in today straight pulled back a bit toward
- 11:33Speaker 1: the close, nonetheless, vernet X closing with a gain of
- 11:37Speaker 1: four point six percent. Thank you very much, Dave Wilson,
