Hedge Fund Sues Brokers Alleging Naked Shorting In Now Defunct Concordia Health

Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge, 16 February 2021

Several major international brokers have been sued by a Bermuda hedge fund that claims the brokerages coordinated “abusive” naked short selling and spoofing strategies in US and Canadian markets. The suit revolves around the former Concordia Health, which was highly leveraged and ultimately went bankrupt after controversy about price gouging.

CIBC, Bank of America, UBS and TD Bank are among those named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by Harrington Global Opportunity Fund in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, according to Securities Finance Times.

Why Palantir Technologies Stock Is Falling Today

Lou Whiteman, 16 February 2021

Shares of Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) fell as much as 10% on Tuesday after the company released fourth-quarter results and provided guidance for the years to come. The company is forecasting dramatic growth in 2021, but much of that is arguably already priced into the shares.

Before markets opened on Tuesday, Palantir said it lost $0.08 per share in the fourth quarter on revenue of $322 million. The earnings fell short of Wall Street’s $0.02 per-share profit estimate, but the revenue beat by about $22 million.

Wayne Duggan, 16 February 2021

Investors who have owned stocks since 2016 generally have experienced some big gains. In fact, the SPDR S&P 500
SPY total return in the last five years is 131.9%. But there is no question some big-name stocks performed better than others along the way.

Valeant’s Downfall: One company that has been a disastrous investment in the last five years is health care company Bausch Health Companies Inc BHC 0.06% , formerly known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals. Not only has Bausch lagged the overall market in the last five years, Valeant represents one of the most infamous stock collapses in recent decades. Bausch produces pharmaceutical products and generic drugs. It is also the parent company of eye health products leader Bausch & Lomb.

Exposing The Robinhood Scam: Here’s How Much Citadel Paid To Robinhood To Buy Your Orders

Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge, 14 February 2021

Frankly, we’ve had it with the constant stream of lies from Robinhood and neverending bullshit from the company’s CEO, Vlad Tenev.

With Tenev scheduled to testify on Thursday, alongside the CEOs of Citadel, Melvin Capital and Reddit, the apriori mea culpas have started to emerge – if a little too late – the former HFT trader spoke late on Friday on the All-In Podcast hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya, who had strongly criticized Robinhood over the trading restrictions, and Jason Calacanis, a Robinhood investor, and said that “no doubt we could have communicated this a little bit better to customers.”
