Trudeau says Trump was on the brink of a big trade deal with Mexico and Canada but one confounding demand blew it up.

The market's most feared short seller is bullish on Snap and says it could be bought within the next year.

"Although we now find out that SNAP has plans for profitability in the neat 12 months, we still question if it will remain independent for that long."
