Hedge funds that make both bullish and bearish wagers on stocks are slashing their exposure to American companies that lean heavily on China for businesses, such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and General Motors Co., according to data compiled by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s prime brokerage unit.

Companies with elevated sales from China were dumped as fund managers cut their net holdings by 26% over the month through late August to the lowest level since April 2020, client data from Goldman show. Meanwhile, those counting on the Asian country for supplies saw their ownership fall 17% toward the bottom range of the past year.

At the moment, U.S. companies doing business in China face potential risks of slower growth in the country and increased regulatory scrutiny, he added. “In either case, the logical thing to do would be to reduce your exposure to companies that have either one of those situations.”

Acounty commissioner in Polk County, Florida, has written a letter asking Gov. Ron DeSantis to make drugs, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, more accessible for those seeking treatment for COVID-19.

"We are hearing from many of our citizens that larger hospital chains and some pharmacies are refusing to prescribe safe and effective therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin," commissioner Neil Combee wrote, according to Florida news station WFLA.

"When a citizen is facing a potentially life-threatening case of COVID-19, he or she should receive the 'right to try' potentially life-saving therapeutics," he added.

Polk County commissioners are expected to vote on whether to send the letter to the governor on Tuesday.

Agent who called former president ‘a piece of sh-t’ on social media precluded from testifying.

Michael Hills, the attorney for one of the six defendants in the Whitmer case, Brandon Caserta, disclosed in court Thursday the prosecutors have decided not to use Special Agent Richard Trask's testimony during the upcoming October trial.

Prosecutors gave the defense access to Trask's social media posts this week, with at least one demeaning Trump and his supporters, Hills told the court.

Specifically, the post referred to the 45th president as a “douchebag” and "piece of sh-t,” The Detroit News reported.

Trask previously stirred controversy in the case when he was charged with beating his wife following a swingers party.
