Stay away from Adani Enterprises (ADE IN). It has wrapped itself in a cloak of nationalistic righteous indignation. Do not buy the dip. Or even a larger one. 
The timing of a Bendigo And Adelaide Bank (BEN AU) and Bank Of Queensland (BOQ AU) merger makes a lot of sense right now.
This Renault SA (RNO FP) / Nissan Motor (7201 JP)'s press release and "agreement", as-is, is a Nothingburger.

Bloomberg reports that Japan Industrial Partners (JIP), the preferred bidder, has again extended the deadline for securing bank financing of around JPY1.2 trillion (US$8.8 billion).
A new issue has pushed the deadline to 3 February. If JIP manages to secure financing for an offer of around JPY5,100, the next challenge is securing Board support.
The 3QFY2022 update on 14 February needs to avoid further downgrades to keep the deal alive. Toshiba’s multiples are unattractive to peers. Remain on the sidelines for now.
