- 5:18Speaker 1: Stocks comments to begin our Movers and Shakers. Let's talk
- 5:21Speaker 1: about the biggest gain in the SNP five hundred today
- 5:24Speaker 1: and that belonged to Biogen, the drug maker Exercise an
- 5:28Speaker 1: option to develop and sell a treatment for spinal muscular
- 5:32Speaker 1: atrophy after the drug reached the main goal of a
- 5:35Speaker 1: final stage study. Now Biogen paid a seventy five million
- 5:40Speaker 1: dollar license fee to the drugs original developer, Ionis Pharmaceuticals
- 5:46Speaker 1: biogena four point one percent in today's training. In the
- 5:50Speaker 1: wake of that development. Ionis, the former ISIS Pharmaceuticals changed
- 5:55Speaker 1: its name after Isis said developed the shall we say
- 5:58Speaker 1: an unsavory connotation that stock up more than well. I
- 6:04Speaker 1: want to take a look at off shore rig owners
- 6:07Speaker 1: of falling the most in more than a month, as
- 6:11Speaker 1: oil UH fell at least briefly below forty dollars a barrel.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Diamond Offshore Drilling as we have headed into the clothes
- 6:20Speaker 1: UH down actually almost eight percent. It's competitors Transition and
- 6:26Speaker 1: end Scope PLC and Noble also falling. Explorers of slash

- 6:34Speaker 1: said Mark Edwards, he's CEO at Diamond Offshore. He said
- 6:38Speaker 1: this today on a conference call him I'll just tell
- 6:40Speaker 1: you about the shares of Lows today a Lows Corp
- 6:43Speaker 1: down a nearly a two percent. The company, of course
- 6:48Speaker 1: operates in three distinct areas as Cienna Financial, the insurance
- 6:52Speaker 1: arm as well as the oil business. Indeed, also they
- 6:57Speaker 1: have a hospitality business on the Prince called today the
- 7:00Speaker 1: chief executives to Tish saying that the oil drilling may
- 7:03Speaker 1: seem bleak, will have an happy ending and he says
- 7:07Speaker 1: that the silver lining of the drilling slump is that
- 7:10Speaker 1: the oil price will inevitably rebound. He also cites renovation
- 7:14Speaker 1: plans at the hotel unit for muted results. Once again,
- 7:18Speaker 1: shares of Low's Corps down about two percent Lows has
- 7:22Speaker 1: a fifty three percent steak and diamond off shore, so
- 7:25Speaker 1: they were definitely hurt by what that company had to say.
- 7:28Speaker 1: You know, when you look at solar industry and you
- 7:31Speaker 1: think about deal making, what comes to mind immediately is
- 7:34Speaker 1: Solar City and Tesla Motors. I want to look at
- 7:36Speaker 1: another deal. Treat a Solar This is a Chinese company,
- 7:40Speaker 1: biggest maker of solar panels. It's been public in the
- 7:43Speaker 1: US since two thousand six and actually for the last
- 7:46Speaker 1: couple of months or so, traded below its I p
- 7:49Speaker 1: O price. Now you have a takeover offer on the
- 7:53Speaker 1: table from a Chinese investor group, and we're talking about
- 7:57Speaker 1: a one point one billion dollar deal announced today and
- 8:03Speaker 1: shure enough, the shares take off. Trina Solar American depositary
- 8:07Speaker 1: receipts their version of shares up more than twenty five
- 8:11Speaker 1: in today's trading. And we'll be speaking to Gordon Johnson
- 8:15Speaker 1: from Axiom Capital Management about Trina, also about Tesla lowering
- 8:19Speaker 1: its bid for Solar City. Later in the half hour,
- 8:22Speaker 1: when I took a quick look at Caesar's Entertainment, big
- 8:25Speaker 1: move up today. In fact, Caesar's gaining about looks like
- 8:30Speaker 1: almost well six point six percent at the close, off
- 8:33Speaker 1: the day's best levels, but it agreed over the weekend
- 8:36Speaker 1: to sell its casino style online games unit, plate Tica
- 8:41Speaker 1: for four point four billion dollars to Chinese investors led
- 8:45Speaker 1: by Shanghai Giant Network Technology Company. It could give Caesar's
- 8:49Speaker 1: more cash to help reach a settlement with bondholders of
- 8:52Speaker 1: its largest division, which filed for bankruptcy in January. And
- 8:58Speaker 1: Verizon Communications down today a little bit more than one
- 9:01Speaker 1: and a half percent for rising agreeing to buy the
- 9:04Speaker 1: GPS vehicle tracking company Fleet Madox Group. It is an
- 9:08Speaker 1: all cash deal value to two point four billion dollars,
- 9:12Speaker 1: and of course this is at premium to fleet Matos

- 10:13Speaker 1: name is Dave. Just what do you think you're doing.
- 10:18Speaker 1: We're going for the bankfound Dave. Dave Hey, Mr Wilson,
- 10:25Speaker 1: there are some unhappy people in Kingwood, Texas today. Tell
- 10:29Speaker 1: us why, Well, it's all about Inspirity, and I presume
- 10:32Speaker 1: that's where they're based. So businesses that would rather not
- 10:35Speaker 1: run their own human relations department turned to Inspirity to
- 10:39Speaker 1: handle the work. Company overseas recruiting and hiring, manages employee benefits,
- 10:43Speaker 1: and provides health insurance, among other things. Inspirity has been
- 10:46Speaker 1: publicly traced since company shares a list of the ticker
- 10:51Speaker 1: n SP. They've served as much as sixty nine percent
- 10:55Speaker 1: this year in a while received set of first quarter
- 10:58Speaker 1: results spurred evans now Sperity released second quarter results today
- 11:03Speaker 1: and they didn't go over well at all. Earnings were
- 11:06Speaker 1: just one cent of share higher than analysts average estimate
- 11:09Speaker 1: in Bloomberg Servty. I say just because in the first
- 11:11Speaker 1: quarter profit came out ahead by sixteen cents. Last quarters,
- 11:16Speaker 1: revenue growth slowed as well, and in response, insperity shares
- 11:20Speaker 1: gave back much of their gains after the previous earnings report.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Stock fell on today's trading by almost fourteen and a
- 11:27Speaker 1: half percent, and that was the biggest one day decline
- 11:30Speaker 1: in almost three and a half years. Dave Wilson so
