Trade Secrets and NDAs

Trade secrets are confidential business information that have value because they are not generally known and are the subject of efforts by the business to keep the information confidential. The most well known example of a trade secret is the formula for Coke. Every company, however, has trade secrets (e.g., customer lists, source code for software, methods of creating products, etc.). Every state has enacted laws to protect trade secrets. There are also federal laws that provide additional protection for trade secrets by way of severe civil and criminal penalties for theft or other misappropriation of trade secrets.

Illegal Ivory Trade Thrives on eBay Despite Year-Old "Ban"

June 5, 2008 — Despite eBay Inc.’s announcement exactly one year ago today of a global ban on all international trade in elephant ivory, investigators with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare; www.ifaw.org) have found that auctions of illegal or potentially illegal ivory have skyrocketed on eBay in the U.S. Further, eBay Canada faces persistent challenges as U.S.-based sellers of ivory list their contraband on the Canadian site.

Training trade union safety reps in the links between workplace safety and union organisation is a top priority for TUC. Liz Rees, head of TUC's education service, made this plain in a new interview with the trade union safety magazine Hazards.

MidnightTrader's After-Hours Trading Range Analysis: ESLR

Evergreen Solar (ESLR): Stock vaulted from 10.40 to 11.56 late in the first hour of night trade. It dropped back to 11.25, where upside liquidity was strong, and stepped higher through the mid-session, rising from 11.40 to a brief high of 11.85. Sellers funneled in some moderate downside pressure off the top and dropped ESLR to a still positive range of 11.35 to 11.75 - levels where its stayed through much of its second-half evening action. A pre-market open on Thursday looks to have potential near 11.60. We would expect ESLR's early upside trade tomorrow to be a bit overeager as the stock is often a news-driven volume favorite in pre-market trade. With that in mind, longs may want to look for potential entry points close to 11.35 to 11.50, an area that could form as a pre-bell base of support for moves back to 11.
