GE stock rose nearly 12% as a longtime bear raised rating on the stock, signaling that, as GE moved to revamp its digital business, the worst may be behind the troubled conglomerate.

Since July 2016, GEs stock has lost 78% of its value, while the S&P 500 Index has risen 23%. Years of building up debt and making acquisitions that never paid off led the company to a corporate meltdown during the past couple of years. John Flannery, who replaced Jeffery Immelt in 2017, has sold off assets and struggled to turn the company around.

On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase analyst Stephen Tusa, who had a sell rating on (ge) for more than two years, raised his rating to neutral, prompting GEs stock…

Dear Rusty: Sometimes words used have different meaning to others, like your recent article on the Social Security Trust Fund. In a true trust fund, monies are only used for a specific purpose. Our so-called Social Security Trust Fund doesnt work like that. Instead, money collected goes directly into the US Treasury, mixed up with everything else. To the government, Social Security is just another revenue stream. They dont separate it from others and have no intention of doing so. Soon, weve been told, the Social Security fund will be declared insolvent. It should never happen but when you spend every penny that comes in on everything else, when the real purpose needs it the well is dry. Lock up the money so that the politi…

Fersun Limited was incorporated in March 2011 and this was the first company operated by Songnan Sun (32) having researched the market for two years.

Initially the company specialised in repairs of mobile phones but as the business grew, the Glaswegian boss expanded the companys activities into the wholesaling of mobile phone accessories and parts, sourcing stock from China.

The company operated in a competitive environment and as Fersun entered into difficult trading conditions in 2013/2014, the company cut its margins but this led to it experiencing cash-flow difficulties.

Following a tax investigation and Songnan Sun seeking advice from an independent insolvency practitioner, the company ceased trading in December 2017 before Song…

Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications could be staring at insolvency as the Supreme Court on Thursday declined to grant it two weeks extra time to clear the Rs 5.5-billion dues of Ericsson. The deadline for the said repayment ends December 15.

The refusal by the top court to grant more time to RCom revives fears of corporate insolvency proceedings against the company. The Rs 5.5 billion due repayment agreement between RCom and Ericsson was reached in the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). While asking RCom to clear the dues, NCLAT had said Ericsson could revive the insolvency petition against the company if it failed to pay within the stipulated deadline.
