GAMESTOP: Share Offering

The trading frenzy that boosted these meme stocks earlier this week has eased, with significant declines in retail investor purchases and options activity. Keith Gill, known as "Roaring Kitty," sparked the latest rally, but the high volatility and options trading from early 2021 have not returned.

CHINA: Real Estate Package

The Chinese government, led by Xi Jinping, is making a significant effort to revive the property market by easing mortgage rules and urging local governments to buy unsold homes. The support package includes lower down payments and 300 billion yuan ($42 billion) from the central bank for buying excess inventory, which will be converted into affordable housing.

Investors reacted positively, with developer shares rising nearly 10%. However, it's uncertain if this will fully resolve the crisis, as the funding is less than what analysts say is needed and many buyers are waiting for prices to drop further.

FIGMA: Announces Offer

Figma, a cloud-based design tool company, announced a tender offer valuing it at $12.5 billion, up 25% from its 2021 valuation. This offer allows current and former employees to sell shares and is supported by over 25 investors, including A16z, Sequoia, and Kleiner Perkins.

Adobe's planned $20 billion acquisition was canceled in December due to regulatory issues. Figma's clients include Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and Salesforce. In 2021, it was valued at $10 billion in a funding round with Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global.
