Goodyear Tire & Rubber presentó ayer sus resultados empresariales que, pese a superar con creces las expectativas de beneficios para el cuarto trimestre, vio desplomarse el precio de la acción en una caída que no sufría desde el Lunes Negro, el 19 de octubre de 1987. La acción ha retornado a niveles del pasado agosto al concluir la jornada en los 15,78 dólares.
Las acciones cerraron la sesión con una caída del 27,44%, a poco más de un punto del 28,6% que perdió la firma en aquel fatídico lunes de hace más de tres décadas. Además, el volumen de acciones negociadas se multiplicó por 12 con respecto a la media diaria del último mes.
La causa de la caída fue la llamada con inversores posterior a la presentación de resultados. Previamente, solo con el informe, Goodyear había llegado a subir más de un 7% en el pre-market, pero el director financiero de la firma, Darren Wells, que la previsión del flujo de caja para 2022 estaría cercano al punto de equilibrio como consecuencia de el aumento de los costes de materias primas y la inflación.
Macron, el que quiere obligar a todo el mundo a vacunarse en Francia, y va de líder de la UE no quiere hacerse una sencilla prueba PCR en Rusia. Dando ejemplo jaja:
A la gente ya se le están hinchando las narices.. en Canadá han comenzado manifestaciones que se están extendiendo y ni la policía ni los políticos pueden hacer nada por contenerlas. Ya llevan una semana manifestándose.
Y han ido a manifestarse también al lado de la residencia oficial de Justin Trudeau.
El próximo paso son manifestaciones delante de la FED y el BCE por arruinar a la población.
Protests grow across Canada as police struggle to reopen key bridge

Protesters opposed to Covid-19 vaccine mandates and other restrictions withdrew some of their vehicles from a US-Canadian border bridge on Saturday, but ramped up demonstrations in cities across Canada, including the capital, where police said they were awaiting more officers before ending what they described as an illegal occupation.
Late on Saturday police made the first arrest of a protester blocking the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, more than a day after authorities moved in seeking to end the blockade of the important trade corridor.
The tense standoff at the bridge had seemed to ease somewhat early in the day, when Canadian police persuaded demonstrators to move the trucks they had used to barricade the entrance to the busy international crossing.
But protesters reconvened nearby – with reinforcements – and were still choking off access from the Canadian side at night, snarling traffic and commerce for a sixth day.

During a meeting of his top advisers on Saturday, prime minister Justin Trudeau emphasised that border crossings could not and would not remain closed, with all options remaining on the table.
In Ottawa, the ranks of protesters swelled to the thousands as they have on past weekends, and loud music played as people milled about downtown where anti-vaccine demonstrators have been encamped since late January.
The protests at the bridge, in Ottawa and elsewhere have reverberated outside the country, with similarly inspired convoys in France, New Zealand and the Netherlands, and the US Department of Homeland Security warning that truck convoys may be in the works in the United States.
A former cabinet minister in Justin Trudeau’s government took the unusual step of calling out her former federal colleagues as well as the province and city for not putting an end to the protests.

“Amazingly, this isn’t isn’t just Ottawa. It’s the nation’s capital,” Catherine McKenna tweeted. “But no one – not the city, the province or the federal government can seem to get their act together to end this illegal occupation. It’s appalling … Just get your act together. Now.”
Trudeau has called the protesters a “fringe” of Canadian society, and both federal and provincial leaders say they can’t order police what to do.

Ottawa mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency last week for the capital, where hundreds of trucks remained in front of the parliament buildings and demonstrators have set up portable toilets outside the prime minister’s office, where Trudeau’s motorcade usually parks.
Police issued a statement on Saturday calling the protest an unlawful occupation and saying they were waiting for police “reinforcements” before implementing a plan to end the demonstrations.
“Demonstrators exhibited aggressive behaviour towards law enforcement, including refusing to follow directions, overwhelming officers and otherwise subverting enforcement efforts,” police said in a statement, according to CBC.
At the demonstrations in Windsor, a man with “Mandate Freedom” and “Trump 2024” spray-painted on his vehicle left the bridge entrance early in the day as others began dismantling a small, tarp-covered encampment. A trucker honked his horn as he, too, drove off, to cheers and chants of “Freedom!”
But hundreds more arrived to bolster the crowd and settled into a faceoff with police about two blocks away, waving flags and yelling. While there were no visible physical confrontations, the crowd still controlled the road to the bridge, and traffic had not resumed as of the evening.

Windsor police tweeted that no one had been arrested but urged people to stay away from the bridge: “We appreciate the cooperation of the demonstrators at this time and we will continue to focus on resolving the demonstration peacefully. Avoid area!”
Protester Daniel Koss said shortly before police advanced that the demonstration had succeeded in bringing attention to demands to lift Covid-19 mandates and he was happy it remained peaceful.
“It’s a win-win,” Koss said. “The pandemic is rolling down right now, they can remove the mandates, all the mandates, and everyone’s happy. The government does the right thing, and the protesters are all happy.”
The previous day, a judge ordered an end to the blockade of mostly pickup trucks and cars, and Ontario premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency allowing for fines of $100,000 and up to one year in jail for anyone illegally blocking roads, bridges, walkways and other critical infrastructure.
“The illegal blockades are impacting trade, supply chains & manufacturing. They’re hurting Canadian families, workers & businesses. Glad to see the Windsor Police & its policing partners commenced enforcement at and near the Ambassador Bridge,” federal innovation minister Francois-Philippe Champagne tweeted Saturday. “These blockades must stop.”
The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest US-Canadian border crossing, carrying 25% of all trade between the two countries, and auto plants on both sides have been forced to shut down or reduce production this week. The standoff came at a time when the industry is already struggling to maintain production in the face of pandemic-induced shortages of computer chips and other supply-chain disruptions.
In Ottawa, 31-year-old Stephanie Ravensbergen said she turned out to support her aunt and uncle, who have parked their truck in the streets since the beginning of the protest. She opposes vaccine and mask requirements, and said it’s important for schoolchildren to be able see their friends’ faces and emotions.
“We want the right to choose,” Ravensbergen said. “We want the right to be able to do what everybody else can do.”
Protesters on Saturday tore down a fence that authorities put up around the capital’s national war memorial two weeks ago after demonstrators urinated on it. Some later chanted “liberte,” French for “freedom.”
“Completely unacceptable,” Lawrence MacAulay, Canada’s veterans affairs minister, tweeted. “This behavior is disappointing and I’m calling on protesters to respect our monuments.”
On the other side of the country, protesters disrupted operations at another border crossing between Surrey, British Columbia, and Blaine, Washington, but officials said it was not blocked. Two other border crossings, in Alberta and in Manitoba, remained shut down as well.
But in Toronto, police again prevented protests from getting out of control there by blocking off roads and a major highway to prevent any potential convoy from getting downtown.

While the protesters are decrying vaccine mandates for truckers and other Covid-19 restrictions, many of Canada’s public health measures, such as mask rules and vaccine passports for getting into restaurants and theatres, are already falling away as the Omicron surge levels off.
Pandemic restrictions have been far stricter there than in the US, but Canadians have largely supported them. The vast majority of Canadians are vaccinated, and the Covid-19 death rate is one-third that of the United States.
