Symantec's "story appeared to finally be turning a corner just roughly three months ago, with solid March results and a good outlook," FBR analysts Daniel H. Ives and Michael Bauer wrote in a note dated Thursday. But "the company's recent spending spree of acquisitions (e.g. [the] VeriSign deal) and a more difficult spending backdrop" have "derailed the Symantec recovery story (at least in the near term) that has been building" for a year, they said.

29/07/2010 09:36	TNK-BP says it may buy Venezuela assets from BP (0) FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- BP PLC is in talks with its Russian joint venture TNK-BP over the potential sale of assets in Venezuela, a TNK-BP spokesman said in a statement on Thursday, confirming earlier media reports. "TNK-BP supports the intent of its 50% shareholder BP to strategically realign its asset base in Venezuela and is actively evaluating the opportunity to participate in the assets," the spokesman said. TNK-BP said it viewed this as an opportunity to expand its presence in Venezuela, where it already has an investment in the Russian National Oil Consortium's joint venture with Venezuelan state oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela, or PDVSA. BP this week tripled its target for asset disposals to $30 billion in an effort to secure enough cash to cover the costs of the disastrous Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
