there's the second part of the tweet a must stating secure funding this seems to be something off even higher interest for the f.c.c. as this is giving investors the impression that they will definitely receive four hundred twenty dollars per stock a premium of like some twenty percent from a secure source of funding if this is not to go on must can sell might be under scrutiny so far is only the tweet itself so if you what happens if the c concludes that this high impact news was shared with sears intentions well there would be either security fraud all manipulation because they would have been a lie or a speculation only publish to boost the stock price that is a stock minimum manipulation to prove that harry put a former chairman of the f.c.c. explained the f.c.c. would start scanning all the communication between marks and directors and this

would have a lot of consequences for must consider so few months new york thank you. it's been a long wait now ikea the world's largest furniture retailer has set up shop in india on thursday the swedish company opened the doors of its first store on the subcontinent in the southern city of hyderabad ikea says it will invest one and a half billion dollars in the country planning to open twenty five stores by the year twenty twenty five with a scoring middle class india is seen as a lucrative market but breaking into it could prove challenging india is one of the heart of places to do business according to the world bank and not every multinational has been successful at adapting goods or services. so before entering the indian market i only resold its product line as our correspondence on how far the car reports was before the the store opened i keep employees visited about
