Independent Bookstore Day is a success for local shop
It was Independent Bookstore Day, a national day of recognition to spotlight indie bookstores. The Wandering Soul in Sharon was one of the local shops celebrating. They offered pizza and snacks to patrons and ran a special buy two books get one free.
'For a lot of us small business owners, our heart is very much invested in our business as well as our community. This is our home away from home. That's what I think is the distinction between the big boxes and us,' said owner Dani Johnson.
The owner says the day was a success and there was a line waiting outside for the store to open.

Simulations Plus (SLP) Faces Investor Scrutiny After Asset Impairments and Grant Thornton Contests Company Statements About Dismissal — Hagens Berman
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Investors in Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP) saw the price of their shares decline about 25% on July 15, 2025 after the company reported its Q3 2025 $67.3 million net loss that included a $77.2 million impairment charge and the company's firing of its independent auditor Grant Thornton, whom it hired on April 15, 2025. Simulations Plus's revelation has prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether the company may have misled investors about its asset valuations and the reasons why it abruptly dismissed Grant Thornton and urges Simulations Plus investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys. Visit: Contact the Firm Now: [email protected] 844-916-0895 Simulations Plus, Inc. (SLP) Investigation: The investigation is focused on the propriety of Simulations Plus' statements concerning its asset values and the basis of its dismissal of independent auditor Grant Thornton. The inquiry stems from a series of events earlier this month. On July 14, Simulations Plus announced a $77.2 million charge, stating it adjusted the book value of its assets to align with current market values. The following day, in a separate disclosure, the company revealed it had terminated its engagement with Grant Thornton on July 9. Simulations Plus had initially hired Grant Thornton on April 15, 2025. Simulations Plus explained the auditor change by stating that during Grant Thornton's brief tenure, the company reviewed matters concerning segment reporting and reporting unit determinations that could not be finalized for its May 31, 2025, quarterly report. The company also evaluated internal controls over financial reporting related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(a) compliance, concluding these could not be finalized in time for the same report. Simulations Plus added that there were no 'reportable events' as defined by SEC regulations. Grant Thornton, however, disputed Simulations Plus's account in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The auditing firm stated its disagreement with the company's disclosure. Grant Thornton further indicated that during its review of Simulations Plus's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended May 31, 2025, it had identified and communicated specific concerns to management and the Audit Committee related to segment reporting, reporting unit determinations, and internal controls over financial reporting. 'We're investigating whether Simulations Plus may have misled investors about the value of its assets and why it abruptly fired Grant Thornton and rehired its old auditor,' said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

NIKE, Inc. (NKE) Has To Do More Layoffs, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is an athletic apparel and footwear retailer currently in the midst of a long-drawn turnaround effort. The firm's shares have gained 6% year-to-date, primarily on the back of a 28% gain that started in late June. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE)'s shares soared after the firm's fiscal Q4 earnings report saw it report $0.14 in EPS and $11.10 billion in revenue to beat analyst estimates of $0.13 and $10.72 billion. Cramer's previous comments about NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) have discussed the turnaround and speculated that the firm would have to cut prices. This time, he stressed that the firm needs another layoff to streamline operations: Copyright: halfpoint / 123RF Stock Photo 'I know. I was expecting, I was thinking that Nike would have another layoff. I think that they're still too bloated. . . ..I think that the Footlocker buy by Dick's is an acknowledgement that Footlocker's getting the right Nikes. I think, but I think they needed another cut. I think they have too many people. That's out there. I just think it's still a little too early. I think that industry clustered around Nike, and that Nike no longer seems to have that athletic edge that they once had.' While we acknowledge the potential of NKE as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
