(Reuters) -Australian retailer Woolworths said on Wednesday that it would sell a 5% stake worth A$468 million ($302.84 million) in Endeavour Group, almost three years after spinning out the liquor store and pub operator.

The former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate secured 36 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), increasing his stake from 57.6% as of March.

The bonus also reflects the exuberant trading in TMTG's shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was snapped up by Trump supporters and speculators.

PayPal executives on Tuesday emphasized plans to reignite growth in branded checkout products that have struggled in recent years as big tech expanded market share, after the payments firm raised its forecast for full-year adjusted profit. The company's stock had struggled last year on fears that the entry of Apple and Alphabet's Google in digital payments could take away a big chunk of PayPal's mainstay business. PayPal's unbranded businesses have grown, but weakness in its branded business such as Venmo has been central to investor anxieties.
The Federal Reserve has entered a two-day meeting that will end with an announcement about its decision regarding interest rates. In the meantime, debate on Wall Street has been raging over how, when, and if the Fed will raise rates. Villere & Co Portfolio Manager Sandy Villere joins Market Domination to give insight into the potential movements from the Fed and what investors should keep in mind as we head into a historically weaker period in the year for the market. Villere offers this advice: "The old adage sell in May and go away is kind of accurate. If you look at the seasonally week period from May through October, it's underperformed the seasonally stronger period, November to April, by about 6% or so. When I'm looking at investing in stocks, though, or selling, I rarely look at any calendar month: we're long-term buy and hold. So I'm not going to go with the old adage, but there is some truth behind it. " For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

Months after a catastrophic fire burned more than 2,200 homes in Hawaii, some property owners are getting more bad news — their property insurance won't be renewed because their insurance company has deemed the risk too high. Insurance providers, state regulators and researchers are grappling with how to keep the insurance companies in business while keeping residents and their properties insured and protected. “I think most of the insurers, you know, I’m very grateful that they’re committed to the Hawaii market, so we haven’t seen wholesale withdrawals,” after the Aug. 8, 2023 fire burned through Lahaina and killed 101 people, Hawaii Insurance Commissioner Gordon Ito said during a Wildfire Risk Forum for insurance commissioners held at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.
