Groupon (GRPN) was supposed to be at risk of collapse. Bears growled about its gigantic marketing budget and lack of barriers protecting its business. But then the stock surged 12% Friday after Deutsche Bank (DB) published a report recommending investors buy. Now up almost threefold from its all-time low last November, Groupon has clearly put the biggest fears to rest. Yet, at $7.65, Groupon gets too much credit for a return to peppy growth when it still has much work to do, reports the Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street."Reference Link | | | June 16, 2013 | | 19:51 EDT | | DIS, TWX | 'Man of Steel' opens way for DC Comics to challenge in superhero genre, WSJ says

Because of their foreign ownership ties, Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) and T-Mobile USA (TMUS, DTEGY) do not have data on their calls collected directly by the National Security Agency, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. The Journal's sources said the other two nationwide carriers, AT&T (T) and Sprint (S), have long cooperated with the government and officials believe they can still capture information on 99% of U.S. phone traffic because nearly all calls eventually travel over the networks owned by other cooperating companies.
