I already subscribe to the Wall Street Journal Trio, which includes Barron and MarketWatch, for $70 annually. However, I’m curious if anyone knows of a discount code for The Financial Times.

Nope. I subscribed to simply wall st and investing.com

I get 100% of my investing info from YouTube and BGOL Heavy Investors Page :shades:

D-WAVE QUANTUM INC QBTS hit $7.00 today

This is bullshit when I watched the Business With Brian video about it. It was $1.69 on November 22nd, but it was only $0.99 on November 5th. I only bought 4 shares waiting for a pullback like a dumbass.
I’m tempted to jump in at $8.30 but doing so will probably make it drop back to $5. Smh I’m buying this on my daughters account just wondering if it will rise year over year or stay flat

Japan's Honda and Nissan to begin merger talks: report​


TELEMMGLPICT000405688375_17344634628600_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqdhvCdnZDcW3roy-fZDWnng6ixEjSdqlK8bJKRHUUEOE.jpeg



Honda and Nissan are plotting a historic merger as they struggle to survive the seismic worldwide shift to electric cars.

The two Japanese carmakers are in early discussions about a possible combination, according to Japanese paper Nikkei. The deal, which may involve cost-cutting, will raise concerns on the impact of British jobs. Nissan employs 7,000 workers in the UK.

A merger would value the combined company at £41bn, propelling the market value of the business ahead of countrymate Toyota, and rivals including Ford and Vauxhall owner Stellantis.

However, Honda-Nissan would still be dwarfed by Tesla, which is worth almost $1.5 trillion, and Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker BYD, which is worth around £82.8bn.

Talks are taking place as the two Japanese companies struggle to compete with Tesla and Chinese rivals, who have built up a sizable lead in the EV industry. A struggle to compete as the world shifts to EVs has left the companies scrambling.

Last month Nissan warned it was facing “a severe situation” after reducing its annual forecast for operating profits from 500bn yen (£2.5bn) to just 150bn yen. The company announced plans to scale back production and to axe 9,000 jobs globally at the same time.

In the UK, Nissan is understood to have warned ministers that the car industry has reached a “crisis point”. Executives have lobbied ministers to water down an EV quota scheme, which punishes manufacturers with fines if they sell too many petrol cars.

Nissan’s car plant in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, is the biggest in the UK, and supports 30,000 jobs in the supply chain.

Nissan and Honda, Japan’s third and second-biggest carmakers after Toyota, had combined global sales of 7.4m vehicles last year.

However, they face difficulties in China, where BYD and others have surged ahead. China accounted for almost 70pc of global EV sales in November, with more than 1.27m in purchases for the month.

In March, Honda and Nissan agreed to cooperate in their EV businesses. The pair deepened their ties further in August by agreeing to work together on batteries, e-axles and other technology.

The carmakers are now seeking to operate under a single holding company and are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding for the new merged entity, Nikkei reported.

Honda and Nissan are also looking to bring Mitsubishi Motors, of which Nissan is the top shareholder with a 24pc stake, under the holding company. This would create one of the world’s largest car groups, the report said.

It is not clear how the deal would affect Nissan’s alliance with Renault, which also encompasses Mitsubishi.

The French-Japanese co-operation agreement was once a cornerstone of the companies’ shared success but has been weakened in recent years following the downfall of former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan on suspicion of financial misconduct in 2018.

How the ownership of Honda-Nissan would be split between existing shareholders is still to be decided.

The deal would be the biggest in the industry since the merger between Fiat Chrysler and PSA in 2021 to create Stellantis, which brought together brands including Jeep, Dodge, Maserati, Peugeot and Citroen.

Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi were approached for comment.

Got Damn! I’m so sorry to hear that, but I completely understand how you feel.

Probably everybody in this thread had this happen to them..

All good.. yea y'all right.

I had been holding 100 and meant to mess with the options a bit but ETrade was making that difficult as far as filling orders. I also think I needed a refresher as far as how I was hoping to play it. I wanted to own more shares and try to basically get paid to do so thru premiums. Shoulda took more time to get my strategy straight and could've been a little more patient but timing is almost impossible. No foul imo.
