News Update: Wal-Mart's Proposed Massmart Buyout Runs Into South African Union Opposition
News Update: Wal-Mart's Proposed Massmart Buyout Runs Into South African Union Opposition
"Wal-Mart's (NYSE:WMT) proposed $4.6 billion acquisition of South African wholesaler Massmart has run into its first obstacle, opposition from the nation's largest labor federation. The federation said it was against the tie-up, arguing that both the companies ""are notoriously anti-union and anti-workers' rights,"" according to a WSJ report. Analysts say it's unlikely a deal could be derailed by union opposition, however. South Africa is a nation that is heavily unionized in its work force, which highlights the fact that many foreign companies will run into obstacles like these when setting up businesses in the country. SmarTrend is bullish on shares of Wal-Mart Stores and our subscribers were alerted to buy on July 13, 2010 at $50.40. The stock has risen 6.1% since the alert was issued."

Blackstone's senior managing director, Garrett Moran, said Thursday that debt markets had rebounded and that it might now be possible to deal with $5 billion of debt. ""[That means] there could be a $10 billion buyout, in the not too distant future, somewhere, somehow,"" Mr. Moran said. ""That's in the realms of today's market. Opportunities to buy things are pretty good."" Year-to-date, private equity deals have totaled $140.5 billion, more than double the volume from the same period a year ago. Meanwhile, on a global basis M&A has totaled $1.78 trillion, up 21% from a year ago. SmarTrend currently has Blackstone in a Downtrend.

Here's euronews with the details. "After conducting an investigation, the university found 180 pages of Schmitt's 215-page dissertation were partially identical to another work, and 17 pages were completely identical." In US news, the Supreme Court has ruled jailers can strip search people arrested for minor offenses. The case involved a New Jersey man who was wrongly arrested for a fine he'd already paid. He argued the strip search he endured violated his civil rights. Here's CNN. "Albert Florence claimed that there was no reasonable suspicion to subject him to a disgusting ordeal. But justices ruled that giving low-risk inmates a pass puts everybody at greater risk." And in business news, Avon has rejected a massive buyout offer from beauty products maker Coty, Inc.
