On Sept. 8, General Motors’ stock bounced nearly 10% after the legacy carmaker announced it would take an 11% stake in Nikola Motor and provide technology to the buzzy hydrogen-electric truck startup.
It’s all been, to put it mildly, downhill from there.
Allegations of fraud by Nikola have since dismembered its stock, with GM’s promised stake losing nearly $1 billion in value since the deal’s announcement. GM’s own shares also cratered Monday after the announcement that Nikola’s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton would step down as executive chairman and leave the company. GM’s stock has now given back all the gains that followed the partnership announcement.
But despite those paper losses, and the potential for more if Nikola’s situation worsens, … Read the rest
Oppenheimer Asset Management’s John Stoltzfus sees opportunities among beaten down mega cap names.
With 44 days until the U.S. presidential election, it may seem to many as if the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has dramatically changed the political calculus—shifting the national conversation away from President Trump’s performance in office and refocusing voters on the battle over who, ultimately, gets to select Justice Ginsburg’s replacement. But a wealth of new polling data suggests that the fundamentals of this election are not likely to change—and particularly telling are a trio of Gallup survey questions that, taken together, have a strong track record for predicting past races in which sitting presidents vie for a second term.
The three key metrics—gauging presidential approval, U.S. satisfaction, and economic confidence—which were in the field from Aug. 31 to Sept. 13, suggest that President Trump has a very difficult road ahead to win reelection, no matter what happens with respect to the vacancy … Read the rest

Next year, a squad of souped-up Dallara race cars will reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour as they zoom around the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway to discover whether a computer could be the next Mario Andretti.
The planned Indy Autonomous Challenge—taking place in October 2021 in Indianapolis—is intended for 31 university computer science and engineering teams to push the limits of current self-driving car technology. There will be no human racers sitting inside the cramped cockpits of the Dallara IL-15 race cars. Instead, onboard computer systems will take their place, outfitted with deep-learning software enabling the vehicles to drive themselves.
In order to win, a team’s autonomous car must be able to complete 20 laps—which equates to a little less than 50 miles … Read the rest

German authorities have opened a “negligent homicide” investigation related to a ransomware attack that struck a hospital in Düsseldorf on Sept. 10, according to local press reports.
The cyberattack caused network outages that forced the clinic to reroute patients in need of emergency care elsewhere. One 78-year-old woman who required immediate attention for an aneurysm died after being sent to another city, reports Bild, a German newspaper.
Christoph Hebbecker, who heads a cybercrime unit at the public prosecutor’s office in Cologne, said Friday that the inquiry was “justified,” though the circumstances of the woman’s death are still being investigated, reports Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, another German newspaper. The homicide probe adds to investigations of blackmail and computer hacking already underway.
Some cybersecurity experts have suggested that the … Read the rest
