Law enforcement agencies in China and the United States recently collaborated to tackle a transnational telecommunications fraud, recovering more than $1.7 million for a company in Zhejiang province and its US partner, China's Ministry of Public Security said on Thursday.
The case was handled jointly by China's Ministry of Public Security and the US Department of Homeland Security, according to the ministry's statement. Both countries' law enforcement departments are continuing to investigate the case actively, it added.
With telecommunications fraud increasing globally, the ministry noted, these types of crimes pose common challenges across borders.
Chinese public security authorities remain committed to a strict, law-based approach to combatting transnational telecommunications fraud, and are deepening cooperation with law enforcement agencies in other countries, the ministry said.

Welltower: Q3 Earnings Insights

Markets have moved in dramatic fashion post election cycle and sharp moves like this often settle into a new rhythm before continuing.  For this reason, we will consider a strong stock with solid options volume and beefy option premiums.  This allows us to trap the stock through a range of motion as it settles into its new pattern.
Understanding the short iron condor&nbsp;&nbsp;
The short iron condor assumes price action will sit in a range of motion, and while it sits in that range, we will allow the collected premium to erode.&nbsp;
The short iron condor is created by selling a long call spread out of the money and selling a put spread out of the money.&nbsp; The goal is to allow time decay and time premium to erode so that we collect revenue.&nbsp; In that sense, we are paid for sitting still over the passage of time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sell to open 1 NFLX 20 Dec 805 CALLS&nbsp;
Buy to open 1 NFLX 20 Dec 810 CALLS&nbsp;
Sell to open 1 NFLX 20 Dec 700 PUTS&nbsp;
Buy to open 1 NFLX 20 Dec 695 PUTS&nbsp;
The total credit is $2.17 at the writing – and it is the maximum profit that the position will yield.&nbsp; The maximum loss is calculated by subtracting the difference between the strikes ($5) here, from the collected premium.&nbsp; $5- $2.17 = $2.83 risk&nbsp;
We choose to sell premium as it carries a higher probability of success as markets will only trend 30% of the time and will sit in ranges 70% of the time.&nbsp; This, of course, is an approximate as price action varies from stock to stock.&nbsp;
The strategy result provides three choices for exiting the trade. 
<ol start="1">
<li>To buy the iron condor back once it gets to an acceptable profit margin for you.  I customarily look for 30% to 50% profit for these kinds of trades. </li>
<li>To buy the iron condor back once it hits your loss threshold as determined by personal risk- this will happen with extreme movement. I customarily look at about 65% though depending on my size, I will choose 50% </li>
<li>To buy the iron condor back into the week before expiration, if all is going well and you have decided to hold the trade into closer to the end of expiration (I have had many a trade go sideways taking it down to the wire and not capturing gains, so I do not advise this). </li>
</ol>

Find The Rhythm As This Stock Moves Post-Election

Prominent chipmakers, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and GlobalFoundries Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), have finalized agreements for substantial U.S. government grants and loans to support their manufacturing efforts, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-06/tsmc-globalfoundries-finish-talks-over-billions-in-chips-awards?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=bd&amp;cmpId=google&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> familiar sources.
This milestone, confirmed by a recent notification from the U.S. Commerce Department to Congress, marks significant progress in implementing the 2022 bipartisan initiative to boost domestic semiconductor production.
Taiwan Semiconductor, which received an initial $6.6 billion in April for its Phoenix, Arizona semiconductor project, and GlobalFoundries, awarded $1.5 billion for its facilities in Malta, New York, and Burlington, Vermont, are among 21 recipients collectively receiving $37 billion in preliminary CHIPS Act funds, Reuters reports.

Some grant recipients fear potential setbacks after former President Donald Trump returns to office as Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41780976/chip-stocks-like-nvidia-broadcom-taiwan-semi-gain-after-trump-win-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently criticized the</a> CHIPS Act on the Joe Rogan podcast, calling it a "bad deal" that subsidizes wealthy corporations. He suggested high tariffs, rather than federal funding, as an alternative to encourage domestic chip production.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson also hinted that the GOP might consider repealing the CHIPS Act if they gain majority control. Although he later clarified his remarks, uncertainty lingers among companies awaiting final agreements.
Experts suggest that despite campaign remarks, President-elect Donald Trump is unlikely to repeal the Biden administration's CHIPS and Science Act.
Paul Triolo of Albright Stonebridge <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/07/trump-likely-to-uphold-chips-act-despite-his-campaign-rhetoric-experts-say.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> CNBC that, despite Trump's reservations, there is bipartisan support for advanced manufacturing in the U.S. Economist Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute for International Economics expects Trump may adjust the funding focus but will largely leave the act intact, akin to Biden's retention of Trump-era tariffs on China.
Posen predicts Trump will likely emphasize tariffs over industrial policy expansion if he chooses to adjust the act.

Taiwan Semiconductor reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41388050/apples-3nm-push-boosts-taiwan-semis-q3-ai-revenue-set-to-triple-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal third-quarter</a> revenue of 759.69 billion New Taiwan dollars ($23.50 billion), up 39%, topping the $22.4 billion-$23.2 billion guidance and consensus estimate.
The contract chipmaker attributed the quarterly performance to robust smartphone and AI-related demand for its 3nm (which Needham's Charles Shi&nbsp;primarily attributed to Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)) and 5nm technologies. The&nbsp;gross margin expanded to&nbsp;57.8%, up 350 bps. It expects fourth-quarter revenue of $26.1 billion-$26.9 billion, above the Street consensus of $24.86 billion.

The adjusted gross margin declined by 450 bps to 24.7%. It expects fourth-quarter revenue of $1.80 billion—$1.85 billion, versus the&nbsp;$1.73 billion estimate.
Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;stock gained over 90% year-to-date, and Globalfoundries&nbsp;lost over 19%.
