A man who's opinion I value once told me these instruments are for day traders only.

Skydance, New Pluto Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Paramount ("New Paramount"), Pluto Merger Sub,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of New Paramount ("Paramount Merger Sub"), Pluto Merger Sub II, Inc., a

and Paramount Merger Sub II, the "Merger Subs") and the Upstream Blocker Holders (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) signatory thereto
(solely with respect to certain sections of the Transaction Agreement as specified therein). In connection with the Transaction Agreement, Paramount
formed New Paramount and, as direct subsidiaries of New Paramount, the Merger Subs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction

"Pre-Closing Paramount Merger"), with Paramount surviving the merger, (b) on the Closing Date, Paramount Merger Sub II will merge with and into
New Paramount (the "New Paramount Merger"), with New Paramount surviving the merger, (c) on the Closing Date, following the New Paramount

including the PIPE Transaction (as defined herein)) as the "Transactions." As a result of the Transactions, Paramount and Skydance will become wholly-
owned subsidiaries of New Paramount, which will be renamed "Paramount Skydance Corporation" immediately following the completion of the
Mergers.

Genuinely Awesome Stupidity. :usa: :usa: :putin:

Do the Chinese use red for positive and green for negative stock price moves?

I'm confused by this masthead image from the bbc live page:

[Richard Hakluyt]

I think that must be the Nikkei 225, they are around 34k atm. Red is an auspicious colour for the Chinese; but, looking it up, so is green.

[dist]

It's the Nikkei. It's written on the red part of the banner

Also, the two companies with their names written in romanji gives it away. ANA and NTT wouldn't be listed in China.

Thanks, I did wonder about Japan. but couldn't be bothered to look up the Tokyo bourse.

Do the Chinese use red for positive and green for negative stock price moves?

I'm confused by this masthead image from the bbc live page:

As noted it's Japan, and based on the individual securities visible on the left it does look like red is positive and green is negative, as the stocks that are up are colored red on the left.

I wonder how much more of this American investors are going to tolerate

Edit. NASDAQ now in bear market territory.  Hope the tech bros are enjoying the ride

A silver lining to all of this is that Tesla shares are down another 10% today.
