Home Depot Inc on Wednesday forecast fiscal 2020 sales growth below Wall Street expectations, three weeks after the home improvement chain cut its 2019 sales forecast.

US prosecutors have arrested three men while investigating an alleged $722 million Bitcoin scam. The Justice Department has branded the activities of the ‘BitClub Network' as a "high-tech Ponzi scheme" that lured victims with fake Bitcoin mining profits while taking money from investors who were rewarded for recruiting new members. Apparently preying on people across the globe, the scheme is understood to have operated from April 2014 until recent days from offices in New Jersey, according to an indictment signed by US Attorney Craig Carpenito. The arrested men are 37-year-old Matthew Brent Goettsche of Lafayette, Colorado, Jobadiah Sinclair Weeks, 38, of Arvada, Colorado, and 49-year-old Joseph Frank Abel, of Camarillo, California. Goettsche and Weeks were charged with conspiracy to commitThe post Cryptocurrency rocked by massive Bitcoin fraud appeared first on Coin Rivet.

(Bloomberg) -- Stuck in an elevator, Noel Quinn witnessed first hand the routine travails of then-HSBC Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer John Flint: his boss was clutching a white belt and an ice bucket, equipment he'd needed to chair a management meeting while in excruciating back pain.It was a "surreal" encounter, Quinn recalled in an internal video chronicling the life of the head honcho at a global institution with almost quarter-million employees and assets approaching $3 trillion.Not long after came another surreal moment involving Flint. Quinn was summoned back to headquarters while en route to Heathrow airport by Chairman Mark Tucker. He was asked whether he would fill in for Flint, who would be ousted days later after less than two years as CEO, and did he want the job full-time. He answered yes to both.Quinn's rise from obscurity to the glare of a position that paid Flint more than $5 million last year is on track. In internal and external communications, references to the former global head of commercial banking's role being "interim" have quietly disappeared.Having said he didn't see himself as a mere "caretaker" after taking the job in August, he's now laying out a long-term strategy. He's putting a stamp on the business that the 15-person board wouldn't have greenlighted for a short-timer, say former HSBC managers, who asked not to be identified.In a sweeping overhaul of the executive ranks this week, the 57-year-old Quinn replaced the top investment banker, chief operating officer and

It looks like Space Force has earned its wings.The leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees announced late Monday an agreement on the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision that would establish a new, independent Space Force within the Air Force. The conference report also sets a topline spending level of $738 billion for defense spending in 2020, and includes a provision providing a new benefit to federal employees.Negotiations on the NDAA were particularly difficult this year, because the two chambers of Congress are controlled by different parties. "This conference report is the product of months of hard-fought, but always civil and ultimately productive, negotiations," the House Armed Services Committee said in a statement. "We look forward to ushering the conference report through the House and Senate as soon as possible and on to the President's desk for his signature."The House is expected to vote on the bill as soon as Wednesday, and the Senate soon thereafter.Here are some of the key features in the agreement: * The bill would create a new Space Force under Title 10 of the federal code. The Secretary of the Air Force would be empowered to transfer Air Force personnel to the new service - a move seen as limiting its potential size and expense. A new chief of space operations would be a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and report to the Secretary of the Air Force. * A 3.1% pay raise for troop

Wall Street pays attention when David Tepper makes an investment move. Tepper started out his career as a credit analyst with Goldman Sachs in the 1980s, diving right away into risky bonds and other distressed debt assets. Older financial hands noticed that Tepper was right more than he was wrong with this gutsy strategy, and brought in high returns for the firm.Tepper earned a reputation as a go-getter who was not afraid to take hair-raising chances. When he parted ways with Goldman Sachs in 1992, he took that attitude with him when hefounded Appaloosa Management the next year.Starting with $57 million in available capital, Tepper has since built Appaloosa into a behemoth - the fund now has over $17 billion in assets under management. With Appaloosa, Tepper has maintained his preference for high-risk, high-yield distressed debt investments, but among the firm's assets are $3.4 billion in 13F securities. And the list of stocks that Tepper's fund has bought into is most interesting.Even though Tepper's reputation was built on taking risks, Appaloosa's three biggest investments, comprising 44% of the holdings in the Q3 13F filing, were Alphabet, Facebook, and Amazon - three of the four FANG stocks. Collectively, these companies hold the third, fourth, and fifth spots among the largest publicly traded companies in the world, and none of them are considered "high-risk." Tepper has put over $1.5 billion dollars into these three companies - with large increases in his holdings of them in Q3.Remember, o

Watches of Switzerland is considering buying more stores in the United States and predicted on Tuesday that luxury watch demand will hold up in the U.S. and Britain, where it has just bought four shops from Fraser Hart. Britain's biggest watch retailer, which distributes Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega, Cartier, TAG Heuer and Breitling, began expanding in the U.S. in 2017 by buying U.S. jeweller Mayors. Watches of Switzerland, which reported a 10.3% increase in like-for-like sales in the half and said it expected 8-9% growth for the full year, sees opportunities to buy more stores in the U.S. where the market is "very fragmented", its CEO said.

(Bloomberg) -- Any list of the most-popular online TV services begins with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. But after those comes an unlikely success story of the streaming revolution: CuriosityStream, a service for kids and adults that's devoted to subjects like science and nature.CuriosityStream, founded by Discovery Channel creator John Hendricks, has eclipsed 10 million subscribers, the company said Tuesday. That's more than ESPN , HBO Now, CBS All Access or the WWE app, and up from just a million last December.Its growth offers a possible blueprint for the many small services pondering their fate now that Walt Disney Co., Apple Inc., Comcast Corp. and AT&T Inc. are spending billions of dollars to compete with Netflix Inc.CuriosityStream has outpaced competitors by embracing a model pioneered by cable TV. Rather than trying to market the service on its own, Hendricks and Chief Executive Officer Clint Stinchcomb have sold it to pay-TV operators who bundle it for their own video and internet customers."From the beginning, I never wanted to be a niche service," Hendricks said in an interview. "If you say niche service, people think of a special interest that only appeals to a small segment. We have a universally appealing service."Hendricks founded CuriosityStream in 2015, shortly after he left Discovery Inc., the media giant that owns TLC, Animal Planet and its namesake TV network. Hendricks started the Discovery Channel in 1985, in the early days of cable TV, and saw an opportunity to build an online business around the same fact-based programming that made Discovery a $21.7 billion company.Stinchcomb, a Discovery veteran, came aboard in June 2017 and became CEO last

Ryanair may not receive any 737 Max aircraft from Boeing by next summer over European delays in testing the grounded jets, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said, estimating the issue is costing it at least 100 million euros a year. Ryanair trimmed its passenger traffic forecast last week but that was still based on 10 MAX deliveries by June. O'Leary told Reuters on Tuesday that testing in Europe was running behind the United States and planes were likely to remain grounded until April or May.
