Bitcoin’s plunge spells trouble for the dot-com era entrepreneur who went all in Posted by: superadmin - 06-14-2022, 09:50 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies A $4 billion bet on bitcoin by software firm MicroStrategy is in jeopardy after the cryptocurrency’s recent plunge. The dot-com bubble-era firm’s bitcoin stash is now worth $2.9 billion, translating to an unrealized loss of more than $1 billion. MicroStrategy is now faced with a possible margin call that investors fear could force the company to liquidate its bitcoin holdings. Having once lost $6 billion at the height of the dotcom bubble, software entrepreneur Michael Saylor is no stranger to volatility in the financial markets. In 1999, MicroStrategy, Saylor’s software firm, admitted to overstating its revenues and erroneously reporting a profit when it actually made a loss. The fiasco shaved over $11 billion off MicroStrategy’s stock market value in a single day. Now, more than two decades later, MicroStrategy is again facing questions over some of its accounting practices — this time in relation to a $4 billion bet on bitcoin. - More -   New Poll Shows China More Democratic than America (You Won't Believe This) Posted by: superadmin - 06-14-2022, 09:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi warns US not to have miscalculation Posted by: superadmin - 06-14-2022, 03:16 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi warns US not to have miscalculation or illusion on Taiwan question In talks with National Security Advisor of the US Jake Sullivan in Luxembourg, senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi said the US shouldn't have miscalculation or illusion on the Taiwan question and warned that the Taiwan question, if inappropriately handled, will have a disruptive impact.

The S&P 500 fell 3.88% to 3,749.63, marking its lowest level since March 2021 and bringing its losses from its January record to more than 21%. The benchmark closed in bear market territory (down more than 20% from its high) after trading there briefly on an intraday basis about three weeks ago. Some on Wall Street say it's not an official bear market until the index closes there and that's what happened on Monday. The last time stocks were in a bear market was in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 876.05 points, or 2.79%, to settle at 30,516.74, about 17% off its record high. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.68% to close at 10,809.23, bringing its losses for this sell-off to more than 33%. - More -   Bitcoin drops 14%, falling below $24,000 as $200 billion wiped off Posted by: superadmin - 06-13-2022, 09:02 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies Bitcoin drops 14%, falling below $24,000 as $200 billion wiped off crypto market over the weekend Bitcoin tumbled below $24,000 late on Monday, hitting its lowest level since December 2020, as investors dump crypto amid a broader sell-off in risk assets.

Chinese analysts said this is the strongest warning China has sent to the US, as Washington has frequently used the Taiwan question to provoke China and encourage the separatist authorities on the island to worsen the region's security situation. Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe on Sunday delivered a speech on China's vision of regional order at the 19th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. On the Taiwan question, Wei said Taiwan is part of China, and the Taiwan question is China's internal affair. "China will definitely realize its reunification." - More -   Malaysian companies reject orders as labour shortage bites Posted by: superadmin - 06-13-2022, 10:49 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian companies from palm oil plantations to semiconductor makers are refusing orders and forgoing billions in sales, hampered by a shortage of more than a million workers that threatens the country’s economic recovery. Despite lifting a Covid-19 freeze on recruiting foreign workers in February, Malaysia has not seen a significant return of migrant workers because of slow government approvals and protracted negotiations with Indonesia and Bangladesh over worker protection, say industry groups, companies and diplomats. - More -   Why is Sabah still poor despite being palm oil rich? Posted by: superadmin - 06-13-2022, 08:50 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies SANDAKAN – Sabah generated RM1.8 billion from palm oil exports – the largest amount reaped from the product in the country – thanks to the massive planting of the cash crop on the state’s east coast.   Although billions of ringgit are generated from the boom, most of the folks, especially in Tongod, Telupid and Beluran, are still living in abject conditions. As a matter of fact, these are the poorest districts in the country. Villagers live without proper water and electricity supply.  However, the boom in the oil palm sector after the pandemic has not provided any kind of steady employment to locals.  - More -   Cash-strapped Sri Lanka announces weekly fuel quotas Posted by: superadmin - 06-12-2022, 07:29 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies COLOMBO – Crisis-hit Sri Lanka announced weekly fuel quotas for motorists today, as an acute shortage worsened and longer queues formed outside the few pumping stations still operating. Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said the state-run Ceylon Petroleum Corporation was struggling to finance oil imports, while consumption had shot up due to shortages of electricity and liquefied petroleum gas. “We have no choice but to register consumers at filling stations and give them a guaranteed weekly quota until we are able to strengthen the financial situation,” the minister said. “I hope to have this system in place by the first week of July.” He did not say how much fuel motorists will be allowed to buy under the new system. - More - Pages (1343): « Previous 1 … 831 832 833 834 835 … 1343 Next » Jump to page:
