' Going into the property market without a buying agent is a bit like going to court without a lawyer,' says Black Brick Property Solutions founder Camilla Dell. 'You'd never dream of representing yourself, and yet when it comes to buying property, which is often one of the most significant and largest financial commitments that somebody will do in their entire lifetimes, people tend to do that without proper representation.'

Jim Cramer Recommends Spotify Over Peloton Interactive

Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) is one of the 15 stocks that Jim Cramer recently talked about. During the lightning round, a caller asked what Cramer thinks of Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON), and he replied: 'Well, you know, it is a subscription business, and I like subscription businesses. I think that they work, but I don't think they have the growth. So, therefore, I'm going to say if you want a subscription business, I want you to be in Spotify.' A group of people in a fitness class with connected fitness products in a studio or gym. Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) provides connected fitness equipment and a digital platform that combines hardware, software, and content as it provides interactive workout experiences through various sales channels. During an episode of Squawk on the Street aired in March, Cramer mentioned the stock while appreciating subscription businesses. 'The fitness trend is good. Remember the fatness trend is battling with the fitness trend. But I would say that Peloton, Spotify, Netflix, Costco, subscription businesses. Subscription businesses are king. And Peloton's a subscription business. Well done… Peloton seems like it's got churn down. And I like that. That was a very good call. I thought the call was very good. Remember, I'm totally in this camp which just says, younger people want to workout.'

Spotify price target raised to $750 from $650 at Evercore ISI

Evercore ISI raised the firm's price target on Spotify (SPOT) to $750 from $650 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares in the wake of 'positive' results from its 13th annual U.S. and 8th annual U.K. Online Music Surveys. The firm said the trend results are 'clear,' namely that Spotify is the U.S. and U.K. streaming leader in terms of users, and its leadership position is widening. The service enjoys intrinsically very high user satisfaction, less price sensitivity than any competitor despite its recent price hike, and an increasingly strong attach rate with Podcasts and now Audiobooks, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Google explains Thursday's massive Cloud outage. Yesterday, a global outage on the Google Cloud platform knocked out Google Home, Spotify, Snapchat, and even some Cloudflare features, and today the company released a mini incident report as it continues to investigate. For Cloudflare's part, its report says the Google failure took out a central data store for one of its services. Google: From our initial analysis, the issue occurred due to an invalid automated quota update to our API management system which was distributed globally, causing external API requests to be rejected. To recover we bypassed the offending quota check, which allowed recovery in most regions within 2 hours. However, the quota policy database in us-central1 became overloaded, resulting in much longer recovery in that region.
