MSFT CEO reorg email to employees
10:53 AM EDT, 07/10/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella said in an email to employees that the company needs to "hone in" on its unique strategy, which could differ from predecessor Steve Ballmer's "devices and services," the Wall Street Journal reported.
Nadella further said in the email that Microsoft, at its core, is a productivity and platform company "for the mobile-first and cloud-first world."
The newspaper said employees have been asked to draw up strategy plans and that people in the company have been bracing for job or other major strategy changes.
MSFT was near unchanged in recent trade, near the higher end of the 52-week range between $30.84 and $42.29.

hmm EIA crude #s soft. /CL dipped.
02:46 PM EDT, 07/08/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Shares in Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE) plunged 32% and touched a 52-week low after the company said in an SEC filing it had reached agreement with lenders under which warrant holders could convert their holdings immediately into shares of common stock on a cashless basis.
The dry bulk shipper said it was trying to reach agreement with lenders on a restructuring of the company. It said in the filing that any restructuring would likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders.
On Seeking Alpha, Acadia Capital Management predicted that based on a recent ruling in a bankruptcy case for a comparable dry bulk shipping company, Genco Shipping (GNK), Eagle Bulk's shareholders are at risk of substantial losses.
Acacia said Eagle is in default of its credit facility and predicted the company will likely file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the next few weeks in order to restructure its balance sheet.
In afternoon trade, EGLE was down 32-37% to $1.88 after hitting a 52-week low of $1.80 earlier in the session.

Watch BKX bank index, needs breakout
An Update on the Banking Index ... Watch what happens to banks ...
They say that an economy cannot flourish without healthy banks that are actively engaged in lending.
By their nature, banks are more conservative and they are supposed to be. But greed often turns bankers into speculators and safe practices are pushed aside.
So, it is in our interest to keep an eye on what is happening to the Banking Index. An updated 15 month chart of the Banking Index was posted this morning. When looking at it, note that the Banking Index has not made a higher/high yet ... in other words, the current level at label 3 is lower than the prior level at label 2. This poses a possible danger condition and that would be if the Banking Index never did make a higher/high and turned down instead.
The risk with that kind of move would be the formation of a "Head & Shoulder pattern". If such a pattern proves to be the case, then the implications would be for the Banking Index to have a very unpleasant pull back.

NWBO bit recovery off neg news
6.61 -.53 -7.4%
13.45 ET
Shares of Northwest Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: NWBO) are lower by nearly eight percent after activist investor Richard Pearson released a bearish article on Seeking Alpha stating the stock has been inflated by the company's promotional efforts, utilizing ties with MDM Worldwide and Redfish Creative to publish positive news on the company that Pearson claims was misleading to investors.
Pearson cited that in the writings of promotional articles, the firm Redfish Creative used bulk pricing on Northwest Biotherapeutics with mass message postings on Yahoo's comment board. Other incidents were reported with the company's promotional efforts, such as reports of paid authors using fake credentials in healthcare or finance, along with made-up identities.
Similar claims were reported in a June 19 article published by The Street's Adam Feuerstein . The article titled "Prestigious Cancer Hospital Rebukes Northwest Bio for 'Inappropriate' Data Disclosures," stated in Northwest Biotherapeutics promotional efforts, the company made unjustifiable claims in relation to DCVax-Direct, a cancer vaccine.

If American Apparel defaults on its Lion Capital loan, it could lead to the default of a $50 million loan from Capital One. It could also unsettle a group of creditors who bought $210 million in American Apparel bonds in 2013. On Thursday, FiveT Capital, an asset management firm in Switzerland that was American Apparel's second-largest shareholder, sold three-quarters of its stake in the company, lowering its holding to 3.19 percent from 12.5 percent.

Barclays Suit Sheds Light on Trading in Shadows
JULY 4, 2014
Dark pools just got a little brighter.
Last week, the New York attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, became the first regulator to weigh in on the debate over high-frequency traders, who conduct much of their business in the opaque private venues known as dark pools.
And whatever the outcome of Mr. Schneiderman’s case, which charges Barclays, the big British bank, with fraud in its operation of a dark pool that secretly catered to high-frequency traders, the suit has already prompted an exodus of customers from the Barclays trading operation.
The suit should also be a signal to clients of all dark pools, which account for an estimated 40 percent of total trading volume, according to the attorney general’s complaint. Those customers are mostly large institutions, like pension funds, asset managers and fund companies, which hold and manage the savings of millions of Americans.
Given Mr. Schneiderman’s accusations, no wonder customers are fleeing. “I think the lesson here is pretty simple,” said John C. Coffee Jr., a professor of securities law at Columbia University. “Bad things happen in the dark.”
Based on what he’s read in the complaint, Professor Coffee said, “Barclays was lying to customers. They weren’t protecting them — they were setting them up.”
And the issues are much broader than just the Barclays dark pool, Mr. Schneiderman told me this week. “While we’ll never have a perfectly level playing field, the public must have confidence that predatory traders aren’t being given an unfair advantage over regular investors.”
Despite their somewhat sinister name, nothing is inherently wrong with dark pools. They began as a way to allow institutional traders to place large orders without disclosing them, thus distorting the market and causing prices to move against them. And many dark pools initially banned high-frequency traders, who were viewed with suspicion on the public exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange.
With both public stock exchanges and the private dark pools, high-frequency traders typically pay for speed advantages — with direct data feeds containing pending buy and sell orders from the public exchanges, and by placing their servers near the dark pools. They also tease out information from the dark pools by constantly submitting (and then canceling) small orders.
As the New York complaint puts it, this “information leakage” allows high-frequency traders to exploit other market participants’ “relative slowness” in receiving data in what is known as latency arbitrage. And relative slowness here means tiny fractions of a second.
“Seconds might as well be years,” said Chad Johnson, the head of the investor protection bureau in the New York attorney general’s office, when we spoke about the case this week. “They’re basically front-running” the order flow, he said. Front-running is a way of taking advantage of advance knowledge of pending orders to buy or sell before the orders are executed.
While profits on any one trade may be tiny, and the price difference may not even be noticed by the average investor, those small differences add up to many millions of dollars. “The retirement savings and pension funds of tens of millions of working families were exposed to predators in Barclays’ dark pool,” Mr. Schneiderman said. “They are the ultimate victims of this fraud.”
The high-frequency trading firms have broadly defended their practices by arguing that they bring liquidity to the market. And there’s no doubt that the rise of electronic trading, much of it conducted by high-frequency traders, has lowered trading costs and narrowed the spread between bid and ask prices, which benefits investors. But it’s hard to discern what benefit these firms provide when they manage to insert themselves between buyers and sellers for a mere nanosecond.
The language that Barclays employees used to describe their high-frequency trader clients — “toxic,” “predatory” and “aggressive” — makes clear what Barclays thought of them.
Indeed, Barclays’ main marketing strategy for its dark pool was to stress that it protected large institutional investors from these very predators. By this year, the bank’s dark pool had not only grown to be the largest as measured by trading volume, but it was also named the “best dark pool” in Markets Media’s Markets Choice Awards. “Barclays took the theme of transparency and ran with it,” the publication said in bestowing the honor.
But, according to the attorney general’s complaint, Barclays was anything but transparent. While representing to institutional clients that only 6 percent of the trading in its dark pool could be classified as “aggressive,” an internal document described it as “50 percent aggressive.” Though the bank promised to “police” aggressive trading, it did little or nothing to protect clients, the complaint claims.
And far from shunning predatory traders, Barclays courted them, the suit contends. It allowed high-frequency traders to connect directly to its servers; it processed orders so slowly that high-frequency traders had plenty of opportunity for latency arbitrage; and it charged high-frequency traders little or nothing to trade.
As one former Barclays director told the attorney general, far from protecting its institutional clients, the bank was “almost ensuring that every counterparty would be a high-frequency trading firm.” He added, “It’s almost like they are building a car and saying it has an air bag and there is no air bag or brakes.”
Which raises the question: Why would Barclays cater to the very participants it claimed to protect against?
The answer seems to be that Barclays had another goal for its dark pool: to be the biggest by trading volume and, in that way, become the most lucrative, as measured by profit.
In today’s trading world, where high-frequency trades account for over half the trading volume, high-frequency traders have become so integral to the functioning of the market that a dark pool can’t become the biggest — or even big — without finding a way to accommodate them.
One way Barclays made money was to execute trades in its dark pool, rather than on someone else’s trading platform. But that meant it had to have counterparties in the pool for its large institutional clients, or the trade wouldn’t execute and would have to be routed elsewhere.
Who were the counterparties with that kind of liquidity? The high-frequency traders, who love being on the other side of trades with big institutions. “They’re like widows and orphans” to high-frequency traders, Professor Coffee said, because they’re so slow and easy to take advantage of.
According to the complaint, “essentially all client orders were routed to Barclays’ dark pool first,” despite assurances that it treated all trading venues equally based on the client’s best interests.
Barclays hasn’t said how much it made from its dark pool operation, but internal documents cited in the complaint described it as a “growth opportunity at between $37 million and $50 million per year.”
Barclays’ dark pool thus had two fundamentally contradictory missions: “to become the largest pool” and “at all costs to make the pool bigger,” according to a former Barclays senior director quoted in the complaint, and, at the same time, to protect clients from predatory trading.
Which mission took priority? After a senior director refused to delete information about the true extent of high-frequency trading and the number of trades executed in the Barclays dark pool from a presentation to a major institutional investor, he was fired, according to the complaint. (He now appears to be a major witness for the attorney general.)
Barclays hasn’t responded yet to the complaint (and declined to comment when I contacted it this week), so we haven’t heard its side of the story yet. The bank did announce that it was cooperating with the attorney general and conducting its own internal investigation. In a note to employees, Antony Jenkins, its chief executive, said, “These are serious charges, which allege a grave failure to live up to our values and to the culture in Barclays that we are working to create.”
It must be a particular cause for dismay that Barclays executives are said to have told customers one thing while doing something else — and to have been doing so just after the bank was admitting guilt in the manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, in 2012.
There’s no reason to assume Barclays was alone in using its dark pool to cater to high-frequency traders. The dynamics of Barclays’ dark pool may not be all that unusual. Other large dark pools are operated by Credit Suisse and UBS, and though no one has asserted any improprieties in their operations, neither Swiss bank is any stranger to scandal.
This week, Goldman Sachs settled charges by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, without admitting wrongdoing, that it failed to execute trades in its dark pool at the best price for customers. And last month, Senate hearings into conflicts of interests at brokerage firms revealed that some firms weren’t routing trades to exchanges that served the best interests of their customers, as they had promised.
But catering to the interests of high-frequency traders may not be illegal, even if some aspects of it probably should be. Conspicuously, no high-frequency trading firm has been accused of any wrongdoing, and it may turn out that the firms were merely using sophisticated technology to exploit loopholes in the regulatory framework.
Mr. Schneiderman said that his investigation into high-frequency trading was continuing, and that the Securities and Exchange Commission was also conducting a broad investigation into trading practices.
Professor Coffee said he believed regulatory reforms were needed in addition to enforcement actions, but “I give Schneiderman a lot of credit,” he said. “The market reaction shows he’s obviously onto something.”
XIDEQ info news
14:16 et .255 +.02
Exide Technologies (XIDEQ) is in talks with some of its senior lenders about a bankruptcy bailout but is struggling to get a handle on an inventory overstatement at a Missouri plant.
News that Exide's board is probing "the size, scope and duration of the inventory overstatement" and can't complete its financial reports comes as the troubled battery maker is under pressure to find a way out of Chapter 11.
Exide filed for bankruptcy protection in June 2013 and on Monday announced it had received a nonbinding reorganization proposal from holders of a substantial majority of its senior debt which means fresh cash for the company. What that proposal means to junior creditors, including trade suppliers, hasn't been revealed. Attorneys for the official committee of unsecured creditors in Exide's Chapter 11 case didn't respond Wednesday to a request to discuss whether the panel has been invited into the talks.
The company declined comment and refused to say whether the senior lenders that have offered the reorganization proposal have the voting power to push it through court. Exide has until July 31 to get a Chapter 11 plan on file with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del.
The plan will detail what Exide says would be a reorganization funded by a "sizable investment of new equity capital," approximately $300 million , plus new debt of about $185 million .
The unofficial noteholder committee includes investors that own some of Exide's $675 million senior secured notes and, in some cases, part of Exide's bankruptcy loan. Some of the senior investors would backstop both the equity raise and the new debt issuance, the company said in a press release.
An attorney for the secured lender group couldn't be reached Wednesday to discuss the level of support for the proposal. Among Exide's secured lenders are MacKay Shields LLC , Alliance Bernstein High Income Fund , Contrarian Capital Management LLC and D.E. Shaw Galvanic Portfolios LLC and other affiliated funds.
In the meantime, revelations of an inventory miscount at the Canon Hollow, Mo., recycling facility are preventing the company from signing off on its annual financial reports for the year ended March 31, 2014 , according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission .
Canon Hollow is one of Exide's two remaining battery recycling operations, sources of cheap lead, an important raw material for the company's manufacturing operation. Exide's Vernon, Calif. , plant was shut down as hazardous earlier this year, a loss that Exide said would erode annual earnings by an estimated $15 million to $38 million .
In its SEC filings, Exide said it is unable to say when its investigation of the Missouri inventory misstatement would reach a stage that would allow the company to file its annual financial reports.

Deutsche Bank sees lower bank profits qtr
PS IBB is climbing. Nas biotech index
11:54 et
Major banking companies are likely to post lower profits in the upcoming quarter according to a Deutsche Bank analyst, continuing a theme that's dogged the industry for much of the past year.
Although big bank stocks are up four percent in the year-to-date, earnings are stalled following last year's stellar 35 percent growth rate.
Best bets in the sector right now according to Deutsche Bank's Rob O'Connor: Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM).
Among super-regional banks, O'Connor singled out for investment Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) and M&T Bank Corp. (NYSE: MTB)
O'Connor expects second-quarter profits on average for the group will fall five percent to 10 percent from a year earlier, and flat versus the first quarter. Earnings year-to-date have been held back in part by a slowing pace of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve, which pump cash into the economy. O'Connor said the so-called tapering has particularly hurt fixed income trading, which he thinks will again miss the Wall Street second-quarter consensus.
Meanwhile, the regional banks have been hit by higher-than-expected credit costs and slowing loan growth.
O'Connor expects full-year earnings growth for large-cap banks of just three percent. By 2015, that rate should pick up to nine percent, increasing to 13 percent by 2017.
"However, that growth is dependent on a much stronger economy and higher interest rates," O'Connor said in the note, in which he assumes economic growth of five percent by 2017.

DEJ pre pop on JV venture
08:51 AM EDT, 07/01/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Dejour Energy (DEJ) shares jumped in Tuesday's pre-market session, after the oil-and-gas explorer and producer said it formed a joint venture with a private U.S.-based exploration-and-production company to develop its core Kokopelli leasehold in the Piceance Basin region of Colorado.
Dejour said it received about $3.8 million at closing and is carried for 25% for $16 million in drilling, completion and permitting expenditures beginning in August. "It is anticipated this funding will carry Dejour through a minimum of eight new wells and extensive facility development on Kokopelli's southern leasehold where four natural gas wells drilled in 2013 are currently in production," the company said.
It is retaining a 25% working interest in the Kokopelli joint venture and will transfer operatorship of the Kokopelli project to the private joint-venture partner, resulting in a 70% general-and-administrative expense reduction for Dejour USA. The company said it is fully retiring the CAD3.5 million of debt associated with the U.S. property in addition to reducing overhead costs in the U.S. operation.
DEJ was up 15% at $0.24 in recent pre-market trading, in a 52-week range of $0.09 to $0.31.
The joint venture will initially focus on developing production from the Williams Fork formation on Dejour's southern leasehold, with the expectation of drilling a minimum of eight wells to at least the base of the Williams Fork gas/liquids bearing zone and obtaining an approved Surface Utility Agreement, currently being developed in consultation with the Bureau of Land Management and the Colorado Parks & Wildlife, for the 1,520-acre north lease, the company said.

Do prefer to see a higher 0 zero line for MACD but as usual after a long drop the negative values dominate with -2 -4. When strongly upside then 0 zero line has +2 +4 above and maybe just a -2 below (inverted pattern). See how it goes.
Little DEJ get pre pop. Not a Nas but a play pen fave.
