Nasdaq Hikes Its Listing Fees
It would raise fees by about 22 percent for the smallest companies and 27 percent for the largest. Nasdaq said it would offer benefits not previously included in its package of services to listed companies, including distributing news releases and negotiating insurance policies for directors and executives.
Fidelity’s voting record, policy at odds
Not once did any of those Fidelity funds cast votes in favor of a shareholder proposal to institute cumulative voting. Occasionally, the funds voted against cumulative voting or supported companies’ requests to eliminate it.
Jonathan Schwartz’s Weblog: One Small Step for the Blogosphere…
So Mike and I sent along a rather formal note last week, requesting a clarification to Reg FD, one that would permit our (and everyone else) using the internet (eg, a company blog or web site) to release material information. Without a press release or operator assisted conference call.
4 things HP’s Hurd needs to do now
It’s time for him to get outside his comfort zone. Four specific leadership moves would be great for the company and for Hurd.
Stock Sales May Set Record, Led by Offerings in Europe, Asia
Share sales climbed to $357.4 billion in the first nine months of the year from $305.5 billion a year earlier, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The biggest initial public offering is scheduled for October, when Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, the country’s largest bank, plans a $19 billion sale.
How Yahoo! Gave Itself A Face-Lift
In the end, Yahoo kept world news prominent on the front page because users feel secure knowing that it’s easily accessible, even if they don’t often click it.
