AI-Powered Congressional Transcripts From FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) So You Never Miss Another Floor Speech

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga Artificial intelligence (AI) made huge strides in 2022. The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT exemplified AI’s evolution. The chatbot broke news headlines in November 2022 when its user count crossed 1 million in the first week of its launch. The mind-boggling user growth inspired comparisons to the growth rates of its larger corporate counterparts, and the results were outstanding. ChatGPT achieved 1 million users faster than Netflix, Facebook, Spotify and Instagram by a significant margin. It took Netflix, for example, nearly three and a half years to achieve 1 million users. The outstanding growth rates reflect ChatGPT’s incredible capabilities. The chatbot has been used to write content, conceive business plans, design new recipes, dictate code for a stock market strategy, create novels, solve math problems and provide professional advice. ChatGPT’s usefulness has prompted the rise of AI in a number of industries, including, perhaps surprisingly, politics. How AI Has Played A Role In Politics As a tech-based agency specialized in collecting data on the regulatory processes in the U.S. and abroad, FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) has had extensive experience integrating AI into their data intelligence solutions. FiscalNote leverages AI’s computing and locating abilities to transform a bulk of unstructured data into actionable insights. FiscalNote’s clients, for example, receive a timeline of key events relating to millions of companies, and the timeline is augmented with AI-generated scores for quick assessment. FiscalNote’s AI solutions also provide industry coverage based on billions of data points extracted from over 100 million documents, and these are updated daily with millions of data points. The breadth and timeliness of this data makes FiscalNote a unique source for actionable political and financial information. The company has also provided AI solutions better suited for specific tasks. FiscalNote’s AI capabilities, for example, extend onto Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, Earnings Call Transcripts, Market Sentiment, News Pulse and SEC filings, all of which allow clients to remain ahead of the competition. FiscalNote Leverages AI-Powered Transcription For Congressional Speeches On Nov. 29, 2022, FiscalNote announced that Fireside – its constituent relationship management (CRM) software for Federal, State and Local governments – will be upgraded with the integration of AI-powered transcripts and videos of elected officials’ floor speeches, debates and committee hearings. Fireside’s AI integration will empower communication between legislators and the general public by providing a streamlined path to important political speeches. FiscalNote’s proprietary CRM will enable direct access to these speeches, transcribing them and transporting them to the Fireside platform within an hour after the delivery of the remarks. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hw4iZUte6qM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> This is a game-changer for press secretaries, communication directors, chiefs of staff, speechwriters and district office staff who rely on fast and secure communications to stay ahead of traditional media coverage. At the same time, this service offers some of the quickest paths to the generation of reliable, swift and actionable content for press releases, newsletters and other constituent-facing communications. “Fireside has always been the essential go-to toolkit on Capitol Hill for the management of constituent communications and engagement, and with this integration of Congressional speeches and remarks, Fireside is set to deliver even more value for our customers at a time when electoral change and redistricting has made communications and transparency even more of a critical priority for lawmakers and their staff,” said Josh Resnik, President & Chief Operating Officer, FiscalNote.

How Yoshitsu Co (NASDAQ: TKLF) Drove Growth Amid A Turbulent Beauty Market – 2022 In Review

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga It has been a year of milestones for the Japanese beauty company Yoshitsu Co Ltd (NASDAQ: TKLF). Yoshitsu is a retailer and wholesaler of beauty and health products that saw a year of growth despite difficulties in the market. The beauty industry is growing, worth over $90 billion in China and $131 billion in Europe. Meanwhile, North America continues as its largest market at $364.8 billion. Traditional stores, especially pharmacies, still represent the largest segment of beauty and health product sales, though there is an increasing shift towards e-commerce that was partially motivated by the lockdowns of the past few years. Companies in the beauty and health space have looked to seek new solutions in 2022 to meet the changing market needs. One company that struggled was New York personal care icon Revlon (OTCMKTS: REVRQ). The company had a tough year, first filing for bankruptcy before being suspended and delisted by the New York Stock Exchange in October, 2022. Parisian personal care company L’Oreal SA (OTCPK: LRLCY) started a research and development (R&D) collaboration with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Verily to better understand skin health and aging processes. American company Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ: ULTA) saw a net increase of income of 17% in the first half of 2022, and also launched its Beauty& campaign to revolutionize the beauty industry and change perspectives on how to understand beauty and health wellbeing. Tokyo-based Yoshitsu Co. saw its product portfolio of cosmetics, skincare, fragrances, and cosmetic applicators expand to sauces, condiments, and various food products. Despite market challenges resulting from strict Japanese and Chinese lockdowns, Yoshitsu expanded in the past year, opened more physical locations, and saw record company growth. A Series of Successes? Opened Brick-and-mortar Locations. While some companies permanently closed their brick-and-mortar stores, Yoshitsu has been expanding. In November 2022 it opened a warehouse in London, UK, to respond to strong European demand for its products. It also added an additional store in Hong Kong, with significant interest coming from China, which reportedly made up 75% of Yoshitsu's revenue in 2021. Tourist Locations. COVID was tough for companies as Japan was closed to tourists for two years following the pandemic. But when Japan opened up its borders, Yoshitsu was there. It opened various pickup locations, offering duty-free cosmetics to entice tourists, with sites at its Urawa and KoshigayaRyutsudanchi stores in Saitama, as well as in Nagano. Wholesale Success. The company has also handled market challenges by capitalizing on its robust network of 200+ wholesale partners. 95% of its revenue came from online stores, franchised stores and wholesale operations in 2021. Credit Agreement. In November the company entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with a syndicate of national banks. The agreement - for JPY 8.15 billion (about $55.82 million) - expands the opportunity to reinvest in the company and to fulfill a balanced capital allocation. Food Products. Successes made possible by steps like the credit agreement include Yoshitsu’s addition of sauces, dressings, and condiments products to its portfolio, entering a market worth over $21 billion. It diversified this plan by later adding a host of food products, including frozen and refrigerated items, processed food, and confectionery. Record Growth. Perhaps unsurprisingly after a strong year, Yoshitsu saw record revenue growth. Reflecting on the successes, Principal Executive Officer of Yoshitsu Mei Kanayama said: “Although the global economy has been filled with uncertainties, we are satisfied with the accomplishments achieved in our key strategic initiatives, including the completion of our initial public offering in January 2022 and the expansion of our market coverage with new stores and wholesale customers.” To learn more about Yoshitsu, visit its website.

We want to make sure that our reviews are objective and well-researched. We also want to make sure there are only trustworthy websites on our list. This is why we base our decision about what company is the best on a certain set of criteria that we always apply. Below, we’ll explain these criteria to you to help you understand the depth of our research for every website and company. Interface We find that the interface of a website plays a seriously important role. Therefore, we analyze each service's interface in terms of design, sections, ease of placing an order, CTA buttons, and more. The 4 services on our list all satisfy these criteria and offer a seamless UX to their users. Support Team Students who need to order an essay online usually have some questions along the way. This is especially the case if there’s an urgent matter to be solved. We analyze the support team for each company based on their availability, channels through which you can reach them, and their response time. We believe the support team is one of the most important factors for students hiring such services. Best Essay Writers We only wanted to choose the services that offer the top writers. When we say the best, we mean: native English speakers educated and holding a college degree experienced in writing versatile in writing possibilities We found that our top writing services all satisfy these criteria and even help you choose the best essays writers for your needs. Some offer premium and top 10 writers for a higher price, making sure you only receive the best. Quality Paper quality depends on the professional writers that are working for the company and the company's readiness to help you find the perfect match. We carefully selected those companies that assign you to the writer who is the most experienced in the subject matter you need to be covered in the essay. We also made sure there were no negative reviews about the paper's quality and that all the papers passed the plagiarism check. Prices The next criterion we use to make a solid recommendation is the price of the services. We know that students’ budgets are fairly limited, and most of them don’t have any money to waste.

We looked into the guarantees these services offer and made sure that confidentiality about your identity is a priority. We also looked for Money-Back Guarantees, Revisions, Plagiarism-Free guarantees, and On-Time Delivery. Benefits of Hiring a top essay writing service You may be having doubts about hiring an essay writing service and having them handle your assignment for you. Maybe you don’t trust them enough or fear they’ll trick you. Below, we listed the top benefits that will help you change your mind. Expertise Instead of struggling to write the assignment yourself or hiring some shady freelance essay writer, you can have a writing expert do it instead. The services we’ve listed offer nothing but highly experienced and trained writers who can take care of any type of task you give them. Time-Saving High school and college students both lack the same thing - time. There’s so much to do in so little time, and they often find themselves swamped with academic tasks and private matters. Luckily, a huge benefit of hiring the best essay writer to write instead of you is that it’ll save you a ton of time. You'll be able to use this time to study, prepare for an exam, or simply rest. Healthy Nervous System Stress is extremely dangerous for our health, and students experience high levels of stress almost daily. This only proves that they need help wherever they can find it, especially with homework and studying. This is why writing services help students stress less and maintain a healthy nervous system. Quality and Uniqueness If you’re not a skilled or talented writer, it’ll be very hard for you to write a paper that is both unique and properly written. You’d need a ton of exercise and some poor attempts to reach this level of writing. But, the professional writers at these services already have the necessary experience. This guarantees your essay will be a success. Free Checks Finally, we know you want to make sure your essay is ready to be submitted to avoid any unfortunate situations. These essay writing sites will offer you a free essay check, free of charge. This helps you turn in the essay confidently and without any doubt. FAQ about the websites to write essays Now, let’s take a look at the FAQs that are probably roaming your mind as well. We'll answer them to help you understand how these quality essay services work and benefit you. Is buying papers legal? Buying a paper is completely legal, and there’s no law stopping you from doing it. These websites provide you with a service, and you are fully entitled to spend your money as you like. These companies aren’t responsible for how you’ll use this paper, so that is all on you. Can anyone find out that I buy essays online? All of the companies we’ve listed full offer confidentiality to clients. This way, you can be certain that no one will ever know that you bought college papers online unless you tell them. Also, your private data is safe and not available to any third parties to use, which increases confidentiality. Why am I anonymous? None of the websites for essays want to be responsible for your data or identity in buying essays. They also want to make sure that you feel completely safe and protected while using their services. This way, both parties are much more at ease and have fewer worries to think about. With your identity being hidden, you can freely buy essays and not fear they will somehow become public. How to distinguish a reliable site from scammers? As we've already mentioned, there is a ton of custom essay writing companies offering writing services. But not all of them are credible. Some are just scammers who are looking to get you to pay and then leave you hanging with a poorly written essay. To distinguish a reliable site, you should read the best essay writing service reviews and pay attention to the criteria we’ve mentioned in the sections above. What if I need essay help urgently? Urgency is not a problem for the best essay writing websites. Their writers are trained to write exceptional papers with deadlines as tight as 3 hours.

So, even if you forgot about a paper due and need one urgently, they'll be able to handle it. What are the cheapest writing companies?

But, if you read trusted review websites and gather enough information, you’ll be able to choose the services that are highly professional and offer quality papers. What essay writing services are legit? Not all essay writing services are legitimate.

Your second option is to read the best custom essay writing service review and trust their research and facts. What problems might I encounter when hiring writers? Hiring a writer as your writing helper can be tricky. You don’t know these people and might have a hard time choosing the best match for your needs. Also, it might be hard to communicate with a writer who’s not from the United States due to the time zone difference. Finally, a writer may not be as experienced in your subject matter and could lack the knowledge to write your paper. Luckily, none of this is the case with our top 4 sites that write essays for you.

Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) and H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) Partner to Streamline Tax Preparation for Small Businesses, Analysts Raise Price Target on ASUR

Benzinga

By Spotlight Growth Each year, millions of Americans file their taxes, a process that can be both time-consuming and complicated. The tax code is complex, and the burden of understanding and completing tax forms accurately falls on the individual taxpayer. One way small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can help compete with larger companies for top talent is through leveraging human capital management (HCM) technologies to help offer their employees the ability to streamline their filing process. Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR), a global provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) software solutions, just recently took big steps to help employees of SMBs to streamline their tax prep and filing headaches after announcing an integration with H&R Block (NYSE: HRB). Asure and H&R Block Integration Aims to Help SMBs Streamline Tax Season In January 2023, Asure Software announced it has entered into collaboration with H&R Block, in which Asure’s tax platform will be integrated with the tax prep company’s systems. The integration will specifically allow employees to electronically access their W-2 forms directly from Asure into the H&R Block tax software. This eliminates the need for manually entering tax information, which not only saves time and productivity but also helps prevent potential errors. Aside from saving time and money, the integration is seen as a meaningful development in giving SMBs the ability to compete against larger competitors for top talent. By integrating with a household-name brand like H&R Block, SMBs can demonstrate to their employees that their time and convenience is valued. "We are excited to partner with H&R Block to provide employees of our customers with a seamless and efficient way to prepare their taxes. This integration is a great example of how technology can make life easier for employees and allows small businesses to offer services previously only available at large companies," stated Pat Goepel, Chairman, and CEO of Asure. H&R Block is among the largest tax preparation companies across the United States. As of December 2022, H&R Block maintained a footprint of 8,940 locations across 4,080 cities in 51 U.S. states and territories. In 2021, the tax prep company prepared over 21.6 million tax returns. ASUR: 4 Analysts Reiterate “Buy” and Update Price Targets in January 2023 Unlike the overall stock market in 2022, Asure had a very successful year. As once-tried-and-true blue chip technology stocks saw performance collapse, Asure posted a positive 8.5% gain during the calendar year 2022. The stock's performance was backed by very strong and meaningful fundamental developments made by the company. As a result of the continued underlying growth in its HCM solutions and SMBs looking to streamline operations and cut costs during an economically unstable period, analysts covering the stock have recently taken the opportunity to reiterate their bullish view of the company. In January 2023 alone, Asure has already received several analyst reiterations on its stock: Jeff Van Rhee of Craig-Hallum was the first to reiterate his bullish stance on the HCM provider. Mr. Van Rhee reiterated his “buy” rating for Asure and increased his price target to $14 from $10. Joshua Reilly of Needham reiterated his “buy” rating on Asure in mid-January and set a twelve-month price target of $14. Eric Martinuzzi of Lake Street is the latest analyst covering Asure to reiterate a “buy” rating and increase their price target to $12 from $11. Equity research analysts covering the HCM industry for Cowen reiterated an “outperform” rating and raised their price target to $13 from $8. “We anticipate a clean beat supported by healthy demand, stable US SMB employment trends, increasing retention & attach rates, and ASUR's more consistent & strengthened execution on various strategic initiatives,” stated the Cowen analysts. Raymond James Highlights Asure’s Outperformance in HCM Report The notable investment bank, Raymond James (NYSE: RJF), highlighted Asure’s 2022 outperformance in its end-of-year report for the HCM industry. The bank highlighted Asure as the top-performing software & internet subsector of the HCM industry over the last month, last three months, and the last twelve months. In fact, the report shows that Asure greatly outperformed during all three surveyed periods in 2022 compared to its competitors. Over the last month, Raymond James list Asure Software’s stock performance at 19%. The runners-up, Docebo, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCBO) and Xero Limited (ASX: XRO) (OTC: XROLF), returned 3.8% and 0.8%, respectively. During the prior three-month period, Asure’s 63.3% performance was nearly double of the second best performing company, New Work SE's 34.6%, and Oracle Corporation's (NYSE: ORCL) 33.8% returns. The last twelve months have not been kind to the stock market overall. The HR tech and HCM sector was not completely immune from the overall economic slowdown. Despite these headwinds, Asure Software's 19.3% return is not only the best, but it is also the only company in the software & internet subsector to post a positive gain. HealthStream (NASDAQ: HSTM) was the next best-performing stock with a return of -5.8% and Oracle took third with a -6.3% return. Despite Asure’s outperformance, Raymond James continues to see strong potential in the company in 2023. The investment bank estimates the HCM software provider’s estimated total enterprise value-to-revenue (TEV/Revenue) for 2023 to reach a multiple of 2.2x. The total enterprise value-to-EBITDA (TEV/EBITDA) estimates for 2023 come in at a multiple of 15.2x. These valuation estimates become only more impressive when compared to the software & internet subsector's average metrics. For 2023, Raymond James estimates the subsector will see a TEV/Revenue multiple of 5.0x and a TEV/EBITDA multiple of 17.7x. This data suggests that Raymond James may believe Asure Software is still undervalued compared to its competitors, despite its impressive rally in 2022. Overall, Asure is off to a hot start in 2023 after announcing a tax prep integration with H&R Block. Asure continues to strengthen its HCM solutions through key partnerships with brands like Equifax (NYSE: EFX), PrisimHR, Jackson Lewis Law Firm, and now H&R Block. Analysts continue to see a strong outlook for the company, as strong partnerships, meaningful growth, and an ideal economic backdrop all work in Asure’s favor.

MIAX® Is Making Volatility Trading More Accessible To Retail Investors With Its Volatility Products: SPIKES Options, Futures, And ETFs

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga With persistent inflation and the aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the stock market in 2022 experienced its most volatile year since 2009. The S&P 500 has been on a shaky decline since January 2022, and despite a few short-lived rebounds, it was down 19.4% at the end of 2022. Intraday volatility — the percentage change in share price from market open to market close — averaged 1.84% in 2022, compared to its 40-year average of 1.3%. Since volatility is often negatively correlated with equities — when equity prices decline, volatility increases — using a volatility index to hedge portfolios with profitable trades based on volatility assumptions is becoming an increasingly popular way for investors to make lemonade out of lemons and turn market swings into profitable trades. To make this kind of volatility trading strategy accessible to more investors, MIAX, a technology-driven leader that builds and operates regulated exchanges, is developing a portfolio of trading products based on the SPIKES® Volatility Index (SPIKE). What the SPIKES Index does differently and why that matters MIAX collaborated with T3 Index to create products based on the SPIKES Index. The SPIKES Index is intended to provide an improved measure of equity market volatility and act as an alternative to the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s Volatility Index (VIX). The SPIKES Volatility Index tracks SPY options to measure the expected 30-day volatility in the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), the most actively traded ETF in the world. By tracking SPY options rather than the SPX options, with the latter used by VIX, and by pulling pricing data from all 16 U.S. options exchanges rather than just the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe), SPIKES seeks more accurate, real-time pricing data to use as a basis for its volatility measure. Its proprietary price-dragging technique for capturing live options prices also aims to offer more precise and stable index movements by using the pricing data from actual trades rather than approximating prices based on the midpoint of the bid-ask spread of the options. These methodology features and the fact that it updates every 100 milliseconds rather than every 15 seconds are among the key reasons MIAX built its ecosystem of volatility trading products around the SPIKES Index. SPIKES Options and Futures While investors cannot invest directly in the SPIKES Index, MIAX offers a portfolio of products based on the index that traders can use to trade their volatility assumptions. The SPIKES options and futures offered by MIAX, turn volatility into a tradeable asset class. Trading in penny increments since October 1, 2022, SPIKES Options and Futures are designed to be more cost-efficient by offering the potential for reduced trading costs, tighter bid/ask spreads, and improved execution prices. Investors feeling anxious about current market conditions can use SPIKES Options (SPIKE) for downside protection by buying call options that could increase in value in the event of a market decline. In futures trading, investors can hedge their positions with SPIKES Futures (SPK): when taking a long position in S&P futures, they can buy long SPIKES Futures to hedge against potential losses since the volatility index is negatively correlated with the market. Investors, however, are not limited to hedging strategies. SPIKES Futures can also be used to trade term structure. Term structure refers to the relationship between implied volatility and time to expiration in futures contracts. If futures prices are trending up, an upward-sloping term structure suggests that volatility is currently lower than it’s anticipated to be in the future. If futures prices are trending down, a downward-sloping term structure suggests volatility is currently higher than it’s anticipated to be in the future. For traders, then, a basic term structure strategy is to buy futures during downward slopes (when expected future volatility is lower) and sell (or short) them during upward slopes (when expected future volatility is higher). SPIKES Volatility ETFs The latest addition to the SPIKES ecosystem, Convexity Shares 1x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKX) and Convexity Shares Daily 1.5x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKY), launched on August 16, 2022. Intended as an alternative way for traders to hedge or capitalize on volatility, the SPKX and SPKY seek to match the performance of the SPIKE Front 2 Futures Index, which tracks the returns from a daily rolling long position in the SPIKES Futures contracts traded on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX™).
