U.S. sanctions Russian, Chinese tech firms over funds for North Korea

Posted: 14 Sep 2018 12:56 AM PDT

WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on a China-based tech firm, its North Korean CEO and a Russian subsidiary, accusing them of moving illicit funding to North Korea in violation of U.S. sanctions. The new sanctions target China-based Yanbian Silverstar Network Technology Co, its North Korean chief executive Jong Song Hwa, and a Russian-based sister company, Volasys Silver Star, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement. "These actions are intended to stop the flow of illicit revenue to North Korea from overseas information technology workers disguising their true identities and hiding behind front companies, aliases, and third-party nationals," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.

Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Is a Victim of Its Own Success

Posted: 14 Sep 2018 10:19 AM PDT

After reporting consistent earnings and same-store sales beats throughout 2018 that have sent its stock up more than 30 percent on the year to new all-time highs, Costco Wholesale Corporation (NYSE: COST) may finally be becoming a victim of its own success. Wells Fargo analyst Edward Kelly downgraded COST stock from "outperform" to "market perform" and says it will be difficult for Costco to impress the market at this point. Kelly says Costco's performance has been stellar in recent quarters, but it's unlikely the company will continue to deliver its impressive sales growth in 2019.
