  Speaker 1: taking stock movers and shakers with Tim Fox and Kathleen

  Speaker 1: tenth to two tenth of a percent. Nevertheless, it was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: certainly a very widely supported move. Look inside the SMP
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: five hundred three or twenty two gainers, hundred eighty losers
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: three companies, share prices closing unchanged, movers and shakers. Now,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Dave Wilson, our stock center is back to kick it off. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this is one of those days where takeover speculation kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of becomes front and center, if only because you're not
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: seeing a whole lot of direction in the market, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it's certainly popped up. In the case of the natural
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: gas pipeline company Williams. You may recall back in June,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Energy Transfer Equity scrapped a proposed deal to buy Williams. Well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: there may be another suitor in the works. H Williams
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: recently rejected a takeover bid from Enterprise Products Partners. According
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to Financial Times. The report cited unnamed people briefed on
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the negotiations. Williams is today's third best performer in the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: S and P five hundred stock game, almost eight percent.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: An Enterprise Products Partners, on the other hand, fell about two.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about retail, so tell you about a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: retail stock. Perry Ellis International down about ten percent today,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this after recording another loss in the second quarter, Although
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the results did exceed analyst estimates both for profits and

  Speaker 1: for sales. The company says it's going to close fifteen
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: stores over the next eighteen months in an effort to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: boost their profitability once again. Shares a Perry Ellis International
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: down more than ten percent. Well, a bit of a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: black eye for Harley Davidson that pushed that share price
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: lower today. They've agreed to stop selling, buy back and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: destroy aftermarket engine tuners that the US has called emissions
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: control to defeat devices. Harley take a symbol h O G.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I just love that Hog. Has also agreed to pay
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a twelve dollars civil penalty as part of his settlement
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: with US after it was accused of violating air pollution
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: laws by selling the Screaming Eagle engine tuners. I guess
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: they're screaming for a different reason today. Harley sold more
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: than three d thirty nine thousand of them from two
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: thousand eight to two thousand fifteen. Uh. They're also required
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: now to the only devices that comply with Clean Air

• 7:33
  Speaker 1: about an actual deal that happened in the chip business.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm referring to Sun Edison Semiconductor. Now, this is a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: company that was a unit of Sun Edison went public.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Sun Edison sold off at stake before filing for bankruptcy
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in April, so it's an independent company. And Sun Edison
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Semiconductor accepted a six hundred and eighty three million dollar
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: takeover offer from Taiwan's Global Wafers. And in response to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that deal, Son Edison semi Conductor ticker Semi s c
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: m I, as you might expect, up thirty nine percent
• 8:09

  Speaker 1: of net app higher today by more than seventeen percent. Well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: what rhymes with app? How about snap? Now? This is

  Speaker 1: a going right to a story about Twitter. Twitter having
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a tough day today, share price down five percent at
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the close. And it's because James Lee at Credit Suite
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Groups as it looks like the dollars that advertising are
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: puting towards Snapchat are being taken away from Twitter rather
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: than Facebook. Uh. He writes. Snapchats reach in frequency targeting
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: targeting suits brand advertisers that traditionally buy a lot of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: TV ads. The up shot the competitive impact on Facebook,
• 9:16

  Speaker 1: Mr Mr Wilson, your stock of the day uncle Med Pharmaceuticals.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That's right, I mean one of the best known bits
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of investment advices by low sell high. This isn't always
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: followed in practice, as uncle Med Pharmaceuticals illustrates. Uncle Meds,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a developer of cancer treatments to harness the patient's immune
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: system to fight the disease. Company was founded in two
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: thousand four, went public in twent trades under the ticker
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: symbol O M E. D Ohmed UH. Uncle Med made
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: its I p O initial public bring at seventeen dollars
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a share. UH. The stock peaked within six months of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: forty two hours and thirty four cents thanks to a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: development deal with seal Gene, and then Uncle Med's stock
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: worked its way lower. The price dropped as low as
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: eight dollars forty two cents in February after study results
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on a pancreatic cancer drug more negative. While the shares
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: have traded for less than the IP price since then,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Uncle Med went ahead with a fifty five million dollar
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: equity sale. Today we're talking about five and a half
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: million shares, the equivalent of a fifteen percent stake price
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to ten dollars each, And that price was fifteen percent
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: below yesterday's closing price, and it looked like for a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: time that Uncle Med might even fall from there. In
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: today's trading, nonetheless, rebounded just a bit, closed to ten
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: dollars seven cents, and that's the loss of fourteen percent,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the biggest since January. Thank you very much, Dave, Wilson
