Central Garden & Pet upgraded to Buy from Hold at Argus 07:49 CENT Argus analyst John Staszak upgraded Central Garden & Pet to Buy from Hold with a $68 price target. The company has benefited from increased pet ownership and reduced mobility during the pandemic as consumers spend more time at home, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Central Garden has also been gaining market share through acquisitions, and its growth efforts are paying off through earnings and revenue guidance increases in recent quarters, Staszak adds.
Green Organic Dutchman upgraded to Hold from Sell at Canaccord 07:35 TGODF Canaccord analyst Derek Dley upgraded Green Organic Dutchman to Hold from Sell with a price target of C$0.30, up from C$0.20, post the Q1 results. The company is on its way to improving its capital structure, Dley tells investors in a research note. The analyst, however, awaits more advancement on revenue generation and market share gains before becoming more constructive on the name.Porch.com initiated with an Overweight at Cantor Fitzgerald 07:34 PRCH Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Benjamin Sherlund initiated coverage of Porch.com with an Overweight rating and $20 price target. Sherlund sees an opportunity for positive estimate revisions vs. seemingly conservative insurtech guidance and believes increased financial visibility could act as a near-term catalyst for a valuation re-rating of the stock, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Porch's depressed share price, set against low investor expectations, presents a compelling risk/reward proposition, Sherlund adds. Show Related Items >>

Van I know I sound really stupid saying this but PLTR would be the buy I think. We can think of " military " now as primarily Virtual<--- This paying off of hackers who so easily threw the entire South into a panic with people filling up plastic garbage bags with gasoline.. Russia saw that and China saw that and this is all going to a very bad place where CYBER WAR IS THE NEW WAR<--- PLTR If this doesn't move $10 in a month here I would be VERY surprised.
Yes Leidos such a dog (another huge contract by the way)
Someone needs to investigate this Musk. He is controlling the crypro market and benefiting every step of the way. Why his he allowed to buy Crypto of a certain kind and then make some fake announcement about TSLA working with that company? It's manipulation of the highest order<----
The Hamas rockets don't appear to be very good.
No I did not wear a special Cramer T shirt last night although if I did it would of read " I DEFEATED CRAMER IN A STOCK PICKING CONTEST BY A FACTOR OF 100!!!!!"

Xiaomi's rare victory against US blacklist could pave the way for other Chinese tech giants
Fri, May 14, 2021,
Xiaomi Corp scored a rare victory on Wednesday as it became one of the first Chinese tech giants to scrape its name off a US government trade blacklist and the smartphone maker's success could give hope to others caught in the crosshairs of the US-China tech war, analysts say.
The Beijing-based company reached an agreement with the US Department of Defense to set aside its blacklisting, which had prohibited US investors from owning shares in the company and which would have led to delisting from US exchanges and deletion from global benchmark indices.
The agreement came after Xiaomi filed a lawsuit in January against the ban, which was implemented after former US President Donald Trump designated the firm as having military links with the ruling Chinese Communist Party. A US court sided with Xiaomi in March, placing a temporary halt on the ban.

The 11-year-old firm, founded by billionaire Lei Jun, took several key steps to create an effective solution for its US problems, according to Cameron Johnson, a partner at Tidal Wave Solutions.
Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun wants Van to trust him. I am good man.
"Xiaomi used the US legal system as its ally, including filing a lawsuit and getting it before a judge quickly," said Johnson. As the company was suing the government, it simultaneously started negotiations with the US government in an attempt to mitigate their concerns, he added.
Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo among top five global smartphone brands
Xiaomi, currently the third-largest smartphone vendor in the world according to research firm IDC, claimed in its lawsuit that affiliating it with the Chinese military was "unconstitutional" as it would deprive the company of its rights "without due process of law".
Xiaomi, which also sells a wide collection of consumer goods ranging from robot vacuum cleaners to underwear, was also an unexpected target for the Trump administration, which may have helped its case, according to analysts. The company was placed under restrictions in a batch with eight other Chinese companies.
Will Wong, a research manager at IDC, said that he would not have expected Xiaomi to achieve this victory in such a short space of time if Trump was still in power.
"Although President Joe Biden is expected to continue to keep a hard line on China, his administration is implementing a more targeted approach," he said.
One of the focus points of the current administration has been 5G technology. Unlike telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co that has seen its smartphone business crippled by sanctions that cut off its access to US technology, Xiaomi has not been involved in 5G network equipment, which helped its case, said Wong.
How Xiaomi went from China's hottest smartphone start-up to lifestyle brand
The decision between the two parties is set to be finalised by May 20, according to the court filing. In the meantime, Xiaomi has taken a cautious stance, saying in its response that they are "paying close attention to the development of this issue", without elaborating.
Analysts said the development will give hope to other Chinese tech firms that have come under US scrutiny.
"What Xiaomi has done is to create a template for Chinese businesses on how to deal with US sanctions and other concerns in the future," said Cameron, adding that the decision is being discussed very seriously throughout the Chinese business world.
However, Chinese tech companies continue to face considerable legal risks in the US.
On the same day that Xiaomi was blacklisted in January, the US Department of Commerce released an interim final rule on "Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services (ICTS) Supply Chain". Among other stipulations, the rule places restrictions on transactions involving internet communications software with more than one million US users.
While the rule does not mention China specifically, analysts have pointed out that it could spell trouble for companies such as internet giant Tencent Holdings, which directly owns game developers such as Riot Games with massive user bases in the United States.
