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.

Stocks on Wall Street were lower after the Bank of Japan's decision to hold off on any further stimulus measures raised investor concern. The averages recovered much of their early losses in the morning, sitting just below the flat line near noon, but the selling intensified during the second half of the session, with the market trending lower into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., NFIB's small business optimism index rose to 94.4 in May from a prior 92.1 reading. Wholesale inventories rose 0.2% in April, matching expectations, and wholesale trade rose 0.5% from the prior month, versus expectations for a 0.1% slide. The Job Openings & Labor Turnover report for April showed openings fell 3% to a seasonally adjusted 3.75M, while hiring jumped nearly 5% to 4.4M. In Asia, the Bank of Japan refrained from changing its policies following recent volatility in its stock and bond markets. The dollar weakened considerably against the Yen, losing more than 2% to trade near the Y96 level. COMPANY NEWS: Sprint (S) shares jumped 17c, or 2.37%, to $7.35 after Japan's Softbank (SFTBF) increased its offer to acquire the telecom company in the face of a potential rival bid from DISH Network (DISH). MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was Questcor (QCOR), up $5.47, or 14.9%, to $42.18 after the company acquired the right to develop Synacthen from Novartis (NVS). Also higher was Catamaran (CTRX), up $5.33, or 10.95%, to $53.99 after the company struck a ten-year strategic pharmacy benefits agreement with Cigna (CI) and its stock received upgrades from at least three firms. Among noteworthy losers was lululemon (LULU), down $14.43, or 17.54%, to $67.85 after its CEO announced plans to step down and the stock was downgraded at Sterne Agee and UBS. Also lower was GenMark Diagnostics (GNMK) which lost $1.96, or 12.95%, to $13.17, after Natural Molecular Testing launched a cardiac testing panel using technology from GenMark's competitor Luminex (LMNX). INDICES: The Dow was down 116.57, or 0.76%, to 15,122.02; the Nasdaq was down 36.82, or 1.06%, to 3,436.95; and the S&P 500 was down 16.68, or 1.02%, to 1,626.13. | | | 15:14 EDT | | DISH, S | Clearwire holder Crest calls for board to open 'competitive bidding process'
Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent minority stockholders of Clearwire Corporation (CLWR), made public a letter to Clearwire's Board of Directors reiterating its view that DISH Network's (DISH) tender offer for all outstanding shares of Clearwire for $4.40 per share "is both actionable and superior in every way to Sprint Nextel Corporation's current offer of $3.40 per share." Crest noted that SoftBank's (SFTBF) increased bid for Sprint (S) confirms that SoftBank's desire for Clearwire's spectrum "has only increased." Crest urged the Clearwire Board to pursue a "direct, competitive bidding process for the Company." In order to pursue that process, Crest demanded that the Clearwire Board "reconstitute the Special Committee with truly independent directors, fully consider DISH's tender offer to the stockholders of Clearwire, and free the company from Sprint's grip by terminating the merger agreement following stockholders' rejection of the Sprint-Clearwire merger on Thursday." | | | 12:53 EDT | | S, DISH | DISH, Sprint talks stumble on breakup fee, Bloomberg says
