$DAVE jumping up 7%
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Wednesday's session are Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) and Celgene Corp. (CELG).
Bank of America said its quarterly profit surged as the second-largest U.S. bank by assets put most of its legal woes behind it. Earnings and revenue beat expectations. Shares rose 2.8% to $17.61 in premarket trading.
Delta said Wednesday that lower fuel prices led to better-than-expected earnings in its June quarter, though unit revenue fell more than the company had forecast. Shares fell 2.4% to $42.60 premarket.
Celgene reached a deal to buy fellow biopharmaceutical company Receptos Inc. (RCPT) for about $7.2 billion, enhancing its portfolio of immune-inflammatory disease treatments with the addition of Ozanimod. Celgene's shares climbed 8% to $132.70 premarket, while Receptos jumped 10.5% to $228.90.
Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) said Wednesday it will sell its convenience-stores business to Sunoco LP, another company in the Energy Transfer family, in a transaction valued at $1.94 billion. Shares of Energy Transfer Partners increased 1.4% to $54.20 premarket, while Sunoco's shares were inactive. Allegheny Technologies Inc.
(ATI) on Tuesday warned it expects to post a loss in the second quarter, citing poor demand from energy markets and increased competition in its flat-rolled products segment. Shares dropped 8.4% to $25.80 premarket.
CSX Corp. (CSX) said Tuesday that profit rose 4.5% during its latest quarter, though falling coal volume weighed on revenue, which retreated 5.5% and came in below analysts' estimates. Shares gained 2.9% to $33 premarket.
U.S. Bancorp (USB) said its profit edged down in the second quarter as revenue dropped and a key measure of lending profitability narrowed. Still, loans grew and earnings matched Wall Street estimates.
Blackrock Inc. (BLK) reported better-than-expected profit and revenue growth in its second quarter, as the money manager benefited from higher base fees despite posting an overall net outflow for the quarter.
Twitter's stock jumped more than 8% after the online publication of a bogus article that claimed the social-media company had received a takeover offer.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) on Tuesday said the co-founders of its Chinese e-commerce venture have announced their departures, thrusting a central part of the retailer's China strategy into transition. Meanwhile, two civil rights groups are trying to build a class action against Wal-Mart over the retailer's former policy of denying health-insurance benefits to the same-sex spouses of gay employees.
PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC) said profit slipped 0.9% in its latest quarter as net interest margin, a key measure of profitability, also declined. Per-share earnings beat Wall Street estimates, though, while revenue matched expectations.
Churchill Downs Inc. (CHDN) said Tuesday that Chairman Robert Evans will retire from company management on Sept. 30, completing the succession plan that began last August.
Engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. (CMI) said Tuesday its board of directors approved a move to boost its quarterly dividend by 25%.
Yum Brands Inc.'s (YUM) operations in China improved but continued to drag on overall results in the latest quarter, contributing to weaker-than-expected sales and profits that pushed its stock down.
Guess Inc. (GES) said Tuesday that it named Victor Herrero to replace co-founder Paul Marciano as chief executive of the apparel maker in August. Mr. Herrero previously worked for retailer Inditex Group, which includes brands Zara, Massimo Dutti and Stradivarius.
W.W. Grainger Inc. (GWW) on Tuesday said that on June 2 it discovered a cyberattack during which "limited information" on its network was accessed. The distributor of industrial and maintenance supplies said there is no evidence of any impact to customers, suppliers or employees, and no indication that information such as credit-card data, banking information and social security numbers has been compromised.
Google Inc.'s (GOOG, GOOGL) Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox browsers blocked old versions Adobe Systems Inc.'s (ADBE) animation software--often used to play online videos--following news reports that hackers were using a security bug to take over peoples' computers.
Famous Dave's of America Inc. (DAVE) said three board members stepped down, while two representatives of investment firm Wexford Capital joined the board.
Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) has nearly tripled its land holdings in Nevada in recent months, purchasing nearly 2,000 additional acres near Reno as it continues work on a factory intended to build batteries for electric cars and stationary backup batteries.
FedEx Corp. (FDX) said Tuesday it lost a long-running legal dispute with nearly 500 drivers in Kansas over its former practice of classifying some of its U.S. delivery drivers as independent contractors.

Floor Talk - The stock market has maintained the bullish bias that was planted yesterday after news of the Greek deal. It has done so presumably for a variety of reasons:
The weak Retail Sales report for June (total sales down 0.3% and sales excluding autos down 0.1%), combined with the weak export/import price data, and the drop in small business confidence have fed the belief that a policy rate hike is apt to wait past September
An improved technical posture as the S&P 500 wasted little time today reclaiming a position above its 50-day simple moving average (2100)
Enthusiasm for potential M&A activity as The Wall Street Journal reported its sources claim Tsinghua Group, a Chinese state-owned company, is preparing a $23 billion, or $21.00 per share, offer to acquire Micron Technology (MU 19.50, +1.89, +10.7%)
The added kick here is that analysts have been quick to suggest that such an offer, if it were to be made, is far too low, so participants are making value-based trades today in a number of beaten-down technology stocks
Continued leadership from large-cap technology and biotech stocks, which have been hard hit in recent weeks
A Bank of America/Merrill Lynch survey showing cash positions among money managers are at their highest level (5.5%) since the Lehman Bros. fallout.
That report is being viewed as a contrarian buy signal since it suggests there is a lot of pent-up buying potential from professional money managers.
The nuclear deal with Iran, which, on the surface, points to the prospect of a relatively less dangerous world and opens the door for potentially lower oil prices in the future as Iran comes to the market with added supply
To be sure, there is a newfound sense of relief that more recent risk factors for the market (i.e. Greece and China in particular) are not about to blow up in its face.
That thinking is readily apparent in the CBOE Volatility Index, which has dropped 22.3% this week alone and is now down 35% from the peak it hit (20.05) last Thursday.
On another level, we'd venture to say the rebound action this week suggest market participants expect Fed Chair Yellen to stick to a generally dovish script when she gives her semi-annual testimony on Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee.
TWTR Stock Pumps & Dumps After Fake 'Bloomberg' Report http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-14/twtr-stock-pumps-dumps-after-fake-bloomberg-report …
U.S. stocks rose slightly Tuesday, adding to a rally that propelled the S&P 500 to its biggest three-day advance of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 46 points, or 0.3%, to 18024. The S&P 500 edged up 7.5 points, or 0.4%, to 2107 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 29 points, or 0.6%, to 5101. After several weeks of news around the globe dominating trading in U.S. markets, corporate earnings started to play a slightly bigger role on Tuesday. Still, traders said stock-market moves will likely continue to be dictated by worries about the timing of a rate increase by the Federal Reserve and continued developments out of Greece and China. "While earnings will probably mean more now, I think the narrative will continue to be dominated by the Fed and the macro picture," said R.J. Grant, associate director of equity trading at KBW Inc. After years of stimulus efforts, the Fed is widely expected to begin to raise short-term rates later this year. On Tuesday, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. said its second-quarter profit rose 5.2% as earnings and revenue beat expectations. Shares gained 0.9%, adding about four points to the Dow industrials index. Also reporting results Tuesday morning was Wells Fargo & Co., whose shares added 1% after the bank said its second-quarter profit slipped. Separately, shares of Johnson & Johnson slumped 0.7%, dragging down the Dow industrials index by four points, after the company reported continued competition and a slump in sales for its hepatitis C treatment in the second quarter. Its stock declined even as J&J nudged up its earnings guidance for the year. Earnings for S&P 500 companies are forecast to slip 4.5% in the second quarter, according to FactSet. That would mark the first fall since the third quarter of 2012. Analysts had similarly forecast a decline in first-quarter earnings amid lower oil prices and a strong dollar. In the end, profits rose by 0.8%. Stocks in the U.S. and Europe have rallied in recent sessions, fueled by optimism that a deal between Greece and its creditors could be reached. That deal was secured Monday and gives Greece a fighting chance of staying in the eurozone. Investors are waiting to see whether the Greek government will be able to pass the tough austerity measures necessary to receive the bailout. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras "has a very short window to implement some of the agreed-upon reforms," said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at Voya Investment Management. The quiet action in the U.S. and Europe is a reflection of the uncertainty about Greece's ability to pass the austerity measures, he said. Still, he ultimately expects the deal to work out. "The eurozone wants a deal to get done, and Greece needs a deal to get done," Mr. Cote said. European stocks rose slightly Tuesday. France's CAC-40 added 0.6% and Germany's DAX gained 0.3%. U.S. stocks rose Monday, marking the third session of gains for the S&P and Dow. The S&P 500 added 1.1% to 2099.60 and posted its largest three-day advance since Dec. 22. The Dow rallied 1.2% to 17977.68 for its biggest three-day gain since Feb. 5. With Monday's rally, the S&P is up 2% and the Dow is up 0.9% for the year. Despite much recent focus on overseas events, traders say they expect more attention to be paid to earnings growth in the coming weeks as companies report second-quarter results. Mr. Cote said he expects companies to surpass the low expectations set by analysts, much like in the first quarter, and with total S&P earnings growth of about 1%. "It's nothing to write home about, but certainly not negative," he said. That will help propel the S&P 500 to his target of 2200 by year-end. Retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.3% in June from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Figures for the prior two months were also revised down. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected a 0.2% increase in June. A nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers weighed on oil prices. Crude-oil futures shed 0.1% to $52.17 a barrel. But a further drop in oil prices depends on how successfully Iran can boost production and sell the oil in a competitive landscape. In other markets, gold futures slipped 0.1% to $1154.50 an ounce. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.415% from 2.430% on Monday. Yields fall as prices rise.

OT: Former President George W. Bush was paid $100,000 to speak at a charity fundraiser for wounded veterans in 2012.

Former President George W. Bush was paid $100,000 to speak at a 2012 charity fundraiser event for “Helping a Hero,” an organization that raises money for wounded veterans, officials from the charity confirmed to ABC News on 8 July 2015. According to those officials, the speaking fee was justified for two reasons: Bush had reduced his usual speaking fee of $250,000 to $100,000 for the event (a 2011 article pegged Bush’s standard speaking fee at between $100,000 and $150,000), and the former President helped bring in a record level of contributions to the charity:
According to the charity’s yearly reports to the IRS, it raised about $2,450,000, after expenses, from the 2012 gala where President Bush spoke. The following year, the gala netted the charity substantially less, about $1,000,000.
The Helping a Hero organization also took to Twitter to say that they were honored to have had President Bush as a speaker:

Others, however, felt that the former president should have waived his speaking fee for an event of this nature:
For him to be paid to raise money for veterans that were wounded in combat under his orders, I don’t think that’s right,” said former Marine Eddie Wright, who lost both hands in a rocket attack in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004.
“You sent me to war,” added Wright speaking of the former President. “I was doing what you told me to do, gladly for you and our country and I have no regrets. But it’s kind of a slap in the face.”
Bush spokesperson Freddy Ford confirmed that Bush was paid $100,000 to speak at the event, and added that “President Bush has made helping veterans one of his highest priorities in his post presidency.”
George W. Bush isn’t the only prominent U.S. politician to come under fire recently over speaking fees. In 2014, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was criticized for accepting $225,000 fee for a speaking engagement at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Clinton responded to the controversy by declaring that she would donate the money to the Clinton Foundation charity.
