<b>Reuters</b> - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two traditional retailers and a manufacturer have joined the ranks of hot tech companies like Facebook in the debate over a U.S. securities rule that can force privately held companies to disclose finances they'd rather keep secret. The three companies - Wawa Inc, Wegmans Food Markets Inc, and W.L. Gore & Associates, best known as the maker of GORE-TEX clothing - have formed a loose coalition and retained a former U.S. congressman as their lobbyist. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/private-companies-ratchet-lobbying-stay-dark-003223758.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwNWliNThwBF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1Mjg0Mjky">Full Story</a></b></font>

<b>Reuters</b> - LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Summit Entertainment is likely to remain its own company for the rest of the year. The studio, which had hoped to merge with another company before 2012, has not come to an agreement with potential purchaser, the Los Angeles Times is reporting. According to the Times, Summit had hoped to close a purchase deal before the end of the year in order to take advantage of tax and other financial incentives. But with two days left in the year, that's not going to happen. Summit is in talks with Lionsgate Entertainment and with Miramax co-owner Colony Capital. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/summit-purchase-wont-happen-until-2012-232126779.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwNWliNThwBF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1Mjg0Mjky">Full Story</a></b></font>

In his latest sharply-worded order, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff chastised the SEC for not telling him it had filed an emergency request with an appeals court to put the case on hold, after making the same request to him.

<b>Reuters</b> - TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian stocks closed 1 percent higher on Thursday as material and financial shares were boosted by U.S. housing data that allowed investors to focus on the prospect of U.S. economic recovery instead of Europe's persisting debt crisis. Resource issues rebounded from Wednesday's sharp selloff, supported by figures showing pending sales of existing U.S. homes surged to a 1-1/2-year high in November, another signal that the world's largest economy is emerging from its doldrums.
