Wall Street is counting down the hours until Friday, which is when Q2 earnings season kicks off. Investors are hoping anyone besides Big Tech will post impressive results to keep the rally going. Although the stock market has set record after record this year, it’s mostly been the work of tech giants. As of Tuesday, about 40% of S&P 500 companies were in the red for 2024.

OUR TAKE: Private Equity and Venture Capital

Posted on July 8, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Private equity and venture capital investments typically involve ownership of shares in a company and represent title to a portion of the company’s future earnings. However, private equity is an equity interest in a company or venture whose stock is not yet traded on a stock exchange.

Venture capital is typically a special case of private equity in which the investment is in a company or venture that has little financial history or is embarking on a high risk/high potential reward business strategy.

Like real estate, private equity and venture capital investments generally share a general lack of liquidity and a lack of comparability across different individual investments. The lack of liquidity comes from the fact that private equity and venture capital investments are typically not tradable on a stock exchange until the company has an IPO.

The lack of comparability is due to the fact that most private equity and venture capital investments are the result of direct negotiation between the investor/venture capitalist and the existing owners of the company  /venture.

With widely divergent terms and provisions across different investments, it is difficult to make general claims regarding the characteristics of private equity and venture capital investments.

HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: Ransomware and Bankruptcy!

Posted on July 8, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Bad things can happen in paperless practices, Doc

By Darrell Pruitt DDS

“Illinois Hospital First To Shut Down Completely After Ransomware Attack”

-By Karl Bode for Techdirt, Jun 16th 2023.

“Such attacks can have a chain reaction on already broken hospitals and health care systems. Health care workers are sometimes forced to resort to pen and paper for patient charts and prescriptions, increasing the risk of potentially fatal error. Delays in care can also prove fatal. And ransomware is only one of the problems that plague dated medical IT systems whose repair is being made increasingly costly and difficult by medical health care system manufacturers keen on monopolizing repair.”

Remember the MCNA (Managed Care of North America) data breach that was reported by Bill Toulas in Bleeping Computer on May 29th? There have been new developments.

“Patients of a Florida-based dental insurance provider brought a proposed class action lawsuit alleging negligence over a ransomware data breach that leaked the private information of more than 8.9 million people on the dark web, saying they face a lifetime risk of having their identities stolen.”

–David Minsky for Law 360

[June 16th, 2023]

If you are still using paper records, don’t change now.

META: Violating the DMA?

Posted on July 8, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Europe can’t stop penalizing US tech firms.

The European Union or EU has charged Meta with violating its Digital Markets Act (DMA), a new law regulating digital platforms, through its “pay or consent” model. That model, which Meta introduced in November to comply with the DMA, allowed European users of Instagram and Facebook to pay for a subscription instead of seeing ads. The EU now says these options prevent users from consenting to the use of their personal data.

Meta is the second US-based Big Tech company to be charged for violating the DMA, after Apple got nailed last week.
