Big Fizzle: MoviePass Passes Away
And so it all ends in disappointment, like the umpteenth installment of a Stallone or Schwarzenegger franchise. For MoviePass and its parent company, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this week means that what promised to disrupt an industry that has been around for more than a century – the movie business, of course – has itself been disrupted, and had been since the service was shut down in September. The filing means the companies will be sold, and the funds distributed to creditors. Those creditors include a list of more than 12,000 subscribers, and as the math works out, each of them may get about $100 in liquidation – if they get paid at all. The final shuttering comes after at least some subscribers complained that their cards were still being charged, even when the MoviePass service had gone dormant. Turns out the movie ticket subscription business has relatively low barriers to entry. MoviePass launched in 2011, was famed for its $10 monthly subscription service that allowed

Gallup: Credit Unions Feel The Love
The notion that credit unions (CUs) play country mouse to their more worldly banking cousins is beyond flawed, as a recent poll by the Gallup organization showed. Delving into customer sentiments across measures – including "helps me reach my financial goals" and "puts my financial well-being ahead of the interests of the bank" – Gallup found that credit unions are crushing it. Banks, not nearly as much. Banks did not surpass credit unions in any criterion used by Gallup. In fact, it wasn't even close. Though respondents had generally positive feelings about banks – for example, about financial institutions (FIs) being helpful during difficult life events – the focus on relationship-building and more personalized forms of finance have given credit unions the edge. For those who capitalize on it, the advantage will come in handy as FIs shapeshift their way to greater customer-centricity. How CUs sustain their unique brand of customer loyalty is among the core insights from the latest

Besides their great taste in food, style and ice cream, Italians also have an innate sense for starting a business. The Italian government has introduced more than a few initiatives to simplify the challenges that young companies face – in 2012, Italy introduced the ‘Italian Startup Act‘, which brought with it tax incentives for investors, a fast-track visa for entrepreneurs, more relaxed labor regulations, and a simpler registration process for new companies.

Danny Ings reveals ‘what if?’ scenario as Jurgen Klopp had plans for striker
Danny Ings has revealed Jurgen Klopp pushed for him to stay at Liverpool in 2018, opening up a ‘what if?’ scenario for the fit-again 16-goal striker. Ings endured a largely miserable spell on Merseyside following his switch from Burnley in 2015—a free transfer which was eventually deemed worth up to £8 million to Burnley. Two major knee injuries restricted him to just 25 appearances for the club, with eight of those coming in an initially promising run in the side before Klopp’s appointment. Klopp continually stressed his faith in a player stricken in the first training session he held at Melwood, with a 26-minute outing at West Brom on the final day of his first campaign at the club a gesture of his belief. But by the time he returned to full fitness after another layoff, the landscape of the squad had changed drastically: Roberto Firmino was first-choice striker, while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were immovable on the wings.

A little-known trucking company surges nearly 58% after Volkswagen makes a surprise offer to buy
Hardly a household name, truck manufacturer Navistar’s stock rose to sudden popularity Thursday, continuing into Friday’s pre-market trading. Shares surged as much as 57.7% Friday after Volkswagen’s trucking arm, Traton, made an unsolicited offer to buy the company for $US2.9 billion, or $US35 per share, Thursday. Volkswagen, which already owns a 16.76% stake in Navistar, said it would pay entirely in cash. The two companies are some of the biggest in the truck-making industry. But to make the acquisition, Volkswagen will have to get the blessing of activist investor Carl Icahn: The billionaire’s fund owns about 17% of Navistar’s outstanding stock, making Icahn Navistar’s single largest shareholder. The offer comes at a time when the broader trucking manufacturing industry is in a slump, with new orders in decline, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. In its most recent earnings, Navistar’s fourth quarter revenue declined versus the year prior. The stock started the year sliding downwards after it trailed…
