Many patients with severe but stable heart disease who routinely undergo invasive procedures to clear and prop open clogged arteries would do as well by just taking medications and making lifestyle changes, U.S. researchers reported on Saturday. The $100 million government-backed study, presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting in Philadelphia, is the largest yet to look at whether procedures to restore normal blood flow in patients with stable heart disease offers an added benefit over more conservative treatment with aspirin, cholesterol-lowering drugs and other measures. At least two prior studies determined that artery-clearing and stenting or bypass surgery in addition to medical treatment does not significantly lower the risk of heart attacks or death compared with non-invasive medical approaches alone.

(Bloomberg) -- Airbus SE could potentially build an emission-free, 100-seat regional aircraft by the early 2030s, as the aviation industry speeds its response to mounting concern over air travel's carbon footprint, according to the head of the planemaker's new production-development arm.The European manufacturer is working on multiple methods to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, Sandra Bour Schaeffer, chief executive officer of Airbus ExO Alpha, said in an interview Saturday ahead of the Dubai Airshow.The company is working with partners including engine manufacturers and startups to build more fuel-efficient engines, explore hybrids and alternative fuels, and to improve aerodynamics, Schaeffer said.Airlines and planemakers are under intense scrutiny over the industry's role in contributing to global warming. But their ability to respond is limited by development cycles lasting a decade or longer and products that can last 50 years. Meanwhile, rising air traffic is adding to pressure on the sector to come up with a response.In June, Toulouse, France-based Airbus, its U.S. rival Boeing Co. and other large players pledged to reduce the industry's net CO2 emissions by half in 2050 compared with 2005 levels."Today there is no single solution to meet the commitments in 2050 but there are a number of solutions that if you put together will drive to that path," Schaeffer said.Approaches are likely to differ depending on the type and size of aircraft, she said.Airlines are already offering what they consider

(Bloomberg) -- Protests erupted in cities across Iran, leaving at least one person dead, after the government unexpectedly hiked gasoline prices, the semi-official Iranian Student's News Agency reported.The fatality occurred during clashes in Sirjan in the southern province of Kerman on Friday, ISNA reported, citing the city's acting governor, Mohammad Mahmoudabadi. Protests spread on Saturday to Tehran, where motorists blocked highways and intersections with their vehicles in a dense snowfall, according to the Fars news agency.A special economic commission decided late Thursday to boost gasoline prices by as much as three times and also to ration the motor fuel, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The price increase came without any prior warning.The protests highlight the challenges that Iran's ruling establishment faces as it struggles to reverse an economic downturn triggered by U.S. sanctions. President Hassan Rouhani's government is under immense pressure to offset the impact of a severe plunge in oil exports and avert a national crisis.The International Monetary Fund forecasts that Iran's government deficit will widen as a percentage of gross domestic product, from 2.7% in 2018 to 4.5% this year and 5.1% in 2020. The oil price Iran needs to balance its budget will more than double over the same period, as U.S. sanctions curb sales of the country's most important export, according to the IMF.Read: QuickTake: Iran's Nuclear ProgramIran's Supreme Economic Council, a body comprising Rouhani, the head of the judiciary and the leader of Iran's parliament, met on Saturday in response to anger at the fuel-price increase.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Sometimes it's hard to tell friend from foe, even if he is standing right next to you. And if you take President Donald Trump literally (yes, I know, we've been warned not to do that) he was suffering from such myopia during Wednesday's press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Turkey, as everyone knows, is a great NATO Ally, and a strategic partner of the United States around the world," he said. "And I look forward to continuing to find common ground, harness common purpose, and to advance the vital interests of our people and the abiding friendship between our nations."Remarkable flattery from the same man who tweeted this a month ago:So, is Turkey friend or foe? The answer at the moment, unfortunately, is "Yes." The Turks have launched an offensive against America's best allies in the war against Islamic State, the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Front, and purchased the cutting-edge S-400 missile defense system from Russia. The U.S. and Europe have responded with sanctions, including booting the Turks from the Pentagon's F-35 fighter program. Erdogan hit back with threats to flood Europe with captured Islamic State terrorists. Standing beside Trump on Wednesday, he accused the U.S. Congress of using "historical developments and allegations" to "dynamite our reciprocal and bilateral relations."So, how does one deal with such a frenemy? For advice, I reached out to Chuck Wald, a retired 4-star Air Force general who served as deputy commander of the U.S. European Command in the 2000s. Wald, a distinguished fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, has been a leading voice of caution in dealing with the Turks and, understandably for a former combat pil

Boeing moved on Saturday to ease tensions with regulators over the return to service of its 737 MAX, saying it was up to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and its global counterparts to approve changes to the jet in the wake of two accidents. The FAA told its staff this week to take whatever time was needed to review the grounded plane after Boeing said it expected the FAA to certify the 737 MAX in mid-December. "We put some targets out that still line up to December ... type certification," Stan Deal, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, told reporters.

Boeing said on Saturday the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and other global regulators would decide the timing of the return to service of its 737 MAX, which has been grounded since March in the wake of two fatal crashes. The head of the FAA has told his team to "take whatever time is needed" in its review of the MAX, according to a Nov. 14 memo seen by Reuters, issued days after Boeing said it expected the FAA to certify the 737 MAX in mid-December. "The FAA and regulators around the world control the schedule," Stan Deal, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, told a news conference on the eve of the Dubai Airshow.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Hong Kong is doing everything it can to ensure Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s listing is a roaring success. That's turning the $12 billion mega-sale into a hot item — if you can get your hands on the shares.Alibaba will initially offer only 2.5% of the offering to individual investors, a quarter of the allocation specified in Hong Kong's listing rules and half the 5% level typically allowed for sales valued at more than HK$10 billion ($1.3 billion). The retail portion may be increased to as much as 10% depending on the level of demand, though that's still well below the 50% that the listing rules require for the most heavily subscribed offers.The effect of squeezing down the retail offering may be to increase the perceived rarity value of Alibaba shares, magnifying the buzz around what may be Hong Kong's biggest share sale since 2010. For example, an allocation that is barely covered at 10% would be four times subscribed at 2.5% with the same level of demand.Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. has done its utmost to accommodate Alibaba, introducing rules that allow dual-class shares after resisting change for a decade — and losing the company's $25 billion initial public offering to New York in 2014. The word "waiver" appears 80 times in Alibaba's prospectus.With Hong Kong's economy and markets rocked by protests, there's much riding on a successful sale. After the listing, HKEX will be home to Asia's two largest technology companies in Alibaba and Tencent Holdings Ltd. That could help the exchange attract mor

After HEXO (HEXO) released horrible preliminary FQ4 revenue numbers, the company came out with an innovative product to crack the low prices of the illegal cannabis market. The company had built the investors up on FY20 revenue targets of C$400 million that have now been withdrawn. The stock still can't be touched at lows below $2, but the ability to innovate in the face of an adjusting market is encouraging for the long term.Value BrandThe biggest issue facing the Canadian recreational cannabis market is the still vibrant illegal market. The lack of retail stores in Canada is contributing to a market unable to undercut legal cannabis on supply that combines low prices with easier access to customers to still cover nearly 50% of the market.To address this market reality, HEXO quickly developed the Original Stash brand to combat the illegal market with a low-price option. The value brand sells 28 grams (1 oz) at black market prices. The retail price in Quebec was listed at C$125.70 including sales taxes, equivalent to C$4.49 a gram.A survey from Abacus Data found that: * 15% of Canadians say they have purchased dried flower since legalization and 4% purchased capsules. * 55% purchased in a physical retail store, 28% in a legal online store. * But 1 in 5 say they purchased on "another online store or website" and 31% purchased from "another source" such as black market.Stats Canada lists the Q difference between legal and illegal cannabis as nearly double the price. The illegal prices are now C$5.59 per gram. On the

(Bloomberg) -- Elizabeth Warren said Friday her Medicare-for-All plan would be implemented over three years, a major concession to the difficulty of fundamentally changing the way Americans get health care. Managed-care and hospital stocks moved higher on the news.A Medium post Warren published Friday mapped out a strategy to enact a mandatory government-run health care system that she estimates would cost $20.5 trillion but others have tagged at more than $30 trillion.Warren said she would inch up to Medicare-for-all, starting with a plan to cover children and poor families. That would happen through a legislative maneuver in her first 100 days in the White House, while not actually eliminating private insurance plans until her third year in office.Health-care companies, which worried about extinction, rallied Friday, leading the S&P 500 Health Index to an all-time high. Among them, some of the nation's largest insurers such as UnitedHealth Group Inc., Humana Inc., Anthem Inc. and Centene Corp. have climbed more than 5% in Friday's trading.The advance in health care is a turnaround from the first nine months of the year, when the industry trailed most of its market peers over drug-pricing regulations and Medicare for All proposals.Even if Warren wins the White House and Democrats win control of both the House and Senate, Warren's timeline is still optimistic, given how Congress operates.She said she would ask Congress to use a quirk in the budget process to allow a simple majority vote -- bypassing the 60-vote Senate threshold -- and "fast-track" a Medicare for All option that would immediately cover children under the age of 18 and families making less than $

(Bloomberg) -- This time it's official.Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates overtook Amazon.com Inc.'s Jeff Bezos as the world's richest person on Friday, reclaiming the top ranking for the first time in more than two years.Gates may have been helped in part by the Pentagon's surprise decision announced Oct. 25 to award a $10 billion cloud-computing contract to Microsoft over Amazon. Shares of Microsoft have since climbed 4%, giving Gates a $110 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Amazon's stock is down about 2% since the announcement, putting Bezos's net worth at $108.7 billion.Gates, 64, had briefly topped Bezos, 55, on an intraday basis last month after Amazon posted its first profit drop in two years, but shares of the world's biggest online retailer pared the decline. The index, which tracks the wealth of the richest 500 people, is updated each trading day after U.S. markets close. Europe's richest person, Bernard Arnault, is third with $102.7 billion.Read more: Microsoft Shares Surge After Controversial Pentagon Contract WinMicrosoft has surged 48% this year, boosting the value of Gates's 1% stake. The rest of his wealth is derived from share sales and investments made over the years by his family office, Cascade.Bezos would be far richer if he and MacKenzie Bezos hadn't divorced. The pair announced their split in January, with MacKenzie, 49, receiving a quarter of their Amazon holdings in July. Her net worth dipped to $35 billion on Friday. Gates, on the

(Bloomberg) -- T-Mobile US Inc. Chief Executive Officer John Legere isn't taking a job running WeWork, contrary to speculation this week, a person familiar with the matter said.Legere, 61, is sticking with T-Mobile for now, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. CNBC reported earlier that Legere wasn't going to WeWork, sending the shares up as much as 3.5% on Friday.Legere, a shaggy-haired, self-appointed industry rebel, has led a comeback at T-Mobile, culminating in a deal last year to merge with Sprint Corp. That transaction hasn't yet cleared regulatory hurdles, and the idea of Legere jumping ship didn't sit well with investors. They sent the shares down as much as 4.2% on Monday after the Wall Street Journal reported that WeWork was talking to Legere.The relief rally on Friday was briefly the carrier's biggest intraday increase in almost four months, though the stock later pared its gain. It closed up 1.6% in New York.The CEO already has ties to WeWork majority shareholder SoftBank Group Corp., which took ownership of the company after WeWork's initial public offering broke down. SoftBank also controls Sprint, and that carrier's executive chairman, Marcelo Claure, was recently appointed to the same position at WeWork.But people familiar with WeWork's CEO search have stressed that it intends to consider many candidates.To contact the reporter on this story: Scott Moritz in New York at smoritz6@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Flynn McRoberts at fmcroberts1@bloomberg.net, ;Rakshita Saluja at rsaluja4@bloomberg.net, Nick TurnerFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomb

(Bloomberg) -- Streaming video has been one of the biggest growth stories of the past several years, but even with all the attention that has been paid to the space, the industry is nowhere near full maturity, according to an executive at streaming-platform Roku Inc."In the long run, the total addressable market for streaming video is all TV money, period," said Scott Rosenberg, a senior vice president and general manager of Roku's platform business. Over-the-top (OTT) streaming "lets advertisers do things that they've gotten used to in digital but which hasn't been possible on TV," such as individually targeting consumers based on user-specific data.Rosenberg compared the industry, specifically streaming-related advertising, to the early days of smartphones, when usage far outpaced how much advertisers focused on them. He cited a study from Magna that suggested 29% of TV viewing was happening outside the traditional model, although only 3% of TV ad budgets were being allocated to streaming services.That imbalance will correct "in a pretty accelerated fashion over the next two or three years," he said in a phone interview. "Marketers are starting to move their money, and once it begins to happen apace, I think we'll see a significant outflow."It will likely take a few years for streaming ad revenue to surpass linear TV, he said, though the trend is accelerating. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, OTT ad revenue is expected to grow to $9 billion by 2023, compared with $4 billion in 2019. The TV advertising mark

(Bloomberg) -- Cash-strapped MedMen Enterprises Inc. is laying off more than 190 employees, including 20% of its corporate workforce.The move is part of a broader corporate restructuring, with the pot company targeting positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by the end of 2020.MedMen will also divest non-core assets, including the sale of its stake in Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust for net proceeds of $14 million. MedMen created Treehouse last year, starting a trend that has seen several other pot companies spin off their real estate into separate companies.The industry is in the midst of a "harsh and quick" transition from growth to retrenchment, MedMen Chief Executive Officer Adam Bierman said in an interview. Like many other companies in the industry, MedMen's share price has fallen by about two-thirds since the beginning of the year, and "capital markets have been shuttered," he said."We find ourselves in the exact same spot as all of the other competitors across the industry, where nobody's fully funded because everybody's been living in this high-growth phase," Bierman said. "That's why we're taking such dramatic measures: I will not allow the company to be exposed where we didn't act fast enough, staring down this future."A recent study of 30 pot firms by trade publication Marijuana Business Daily found that Los Angeles-based MedMen had the weakest cash position, with just over one month of cash coverage.The company said Friday it will sell its minority stakes in various brands for net proceeds of $8 million and has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. to "explore strategic alternatives" for operations and licenses in non-core markets.

Comic book movie "Joker" is poised to surpass $1 billion in global ticket sales on Friday, becoming the first R-rated Hollywood movie ever to overcome the milestone. "Joker," a dark origin story from Warner Bros. about Batman's arch nemesis, had sold $999.1 billion as of Thursday despite not having been screened in China, which is projected to become the world's largest movie market next year. Starring Joaquin Phoenix as a mentally-ill loner who finds fame through a random act of violence, the movie earned warm reviews as it opened in early October but stoked controversy in the United States over fears it would encourage violence.

An Oklahoma judge on Friday said Johnson & Johnson must pay that state $465 million for fueling the opioid epidemic through the deceptive marketing of painkillers, down from his original award of $572 million. The decision by Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman in Norman, Oklahoma, came in the first case to go to trial out of 2,700 nationally by states, counties and cities seeking to hold drug companies responsible for the deadly epidemic. Balkman reduced the amount he had awarded in August by $107 million after agreeing with New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J that he had made a math error.

An Oklahoma judge on Friday said Johnson & Johnson needs to pay only $465 million of the $572 million he previously concluded it owed the state for fueling the opioid epidemic through deceptive marketing of painkillers. The ruling by Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman in Norman, Oklahoma, came in the first case to go to trial out of 2,700 nationally by states, counties and cities seeking to hold drug companies responsible for the deadly epidemic. Following a non-jury trial, Balkman had ruled in August that Oklahoma had proven that J&J engaged in misleading marketing about the benefits of painkillers, and that their addictive risks caused a public nuisance in the form of the opioid crisis.

Amarin Corporation (NASDAQ: AMRN) traded higher after the FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drug Advisory Committee voted 16-0 to recommend approval of label expansion for Vascepa capsules to include reduction in the risk of cardiovascular, or CV, events in high-risk patients. Vascepa was initially approved in 2012 as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The Adcom reviewed the drug based on the results from the Phase 3 REDUCE-IT CV outcomes trial, which showed that the addition of Vascepa to statin therapy brought down the risk of cardiovascular events by 25% compared to statins along with mineral oil, which was used as placebo.

Profits for most cannabis companies aren't expected in the near future, so when companies to announce positive EBITDA in their earnings report, it's important to look under the hood more to find out what the nature of those results entail, and if they are sustainable.In this article we'll look at OrganiGram Holdings, Aphria, and Liberty Health Sciences, all of which have been posting positive EBITDA.TipRanks' Stock Comparison toolOrganiGram (OGI)OrganiGram has received some accolades because of it being able to generate positive earnings for four quarters in a row. The good news is because of its smaller size in comparison to a number of market leaders, it should be able to continue to boost revenue and earnings for now, as it operates out of one 490,000 square foot facility, which is expected to increase the amount of kilograms it grows annually from 36,000 to 113,000 by the end of 2019.OrganiGram is also one of three companies based in Canada that have sales agreements in all the 10 provinces in Canada.One of the major strengths of Organigram is its unique growing system that allows it to grow almost twice as much cannabis per square foot than its closest competitors, and in most cases, it's over twice as much per square foot.Another competitive advantage for now is its being the only large cannabis producer in Canada located in the province of New Brunswick. While it isn't a highly populated region, it does have the most cannabis usage based upon percentage of population. It also has little competition

Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs has provided more details on the technology it intends to use to develop a futuristic smart city in Toronto, which includes self-driving garbage cans and infra-red sensors to track foot traffic in stores, a document released by the company on Friday said. Waterfront Toronto, the agency in charge of developing the waterfront area of Canada's biggest city, gave a tentative approval to the project two weeks ago after Sidewalk agreed to walk back many of its original proposals, including putting all data collected into an Urban Data Trust, which critics said would not be subject to adequate oversight. The 12-acre project, close to Toronto's central business district, would feature adaptive street design and responsive sounds to help blind people find their way around, the document showed.
