Europe has bad luck with large-screened flagships. Last year there was no Galaxy Note5 and this year the LG V20 launched in the US and South Korea and the Old Continent wasn’t even mentioned. A trademark filing shows that euro luck may be changing. The trademark is for the LG V20 S, a smartphone. It was filed in Germany in both English and German, but covers the whole world. And that’s all there is for now. We don’t have any details on the “V20 S” model but we seriously hope this isn’t an “LG G5 SE” situation (which swapped G5’s…

Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York. The CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) just passed 20, its highest levels since June. What’s it all mean? The immediate source of the rise is concerns about the presidential election. You can see this clearly because the cash VIX, at roughly 20, is much higher than the VIX futures contracts: 19.10 for November, 18.50 for December and 19.35 for January 2017. When the cash contract is higher than near-term futures contract, it means investors are anticipating a near-term…

Krisztian Bocsi | Bloomberg | Getty Images Deutsche Bank Fitch Ratings placed the debt ratings of struggling Deutsche Bank on negative watch Thursday given likely challenges for the German lender to implement its restructuring plan. “A sluggish business environment, particularly in Europe but also in Asia Pacific, will make it harder for Deutsche Bank to build revenue and, therefore, capital during 2017 in line with its 2020 strategy,” Fitch said in a release Thursday. “The bank needs to demonstrate its ability to improve revenue generation to maintain its ‘A’ Long-Term Issuer Default Rating.” ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads “The ratings…

See larger image 25 years of Blizzard BlizzCon 2016 kicked off on Friday, finally putting to rest six months of teasing about a new Overwatch character and those pesky Diablo IV rumors. And before you ask: No, Blizzard didn’t reveal Diablo IV—for real. But it did recreate the original Diablo inside Diablo III. The show kicked off with a somber moment, for once. No big trailer, no explosions, no execs. Instead, Blizzard rolled a retrospective to celebrate 25 years since the studio’s founding, highlighting many of its most iconic moments (Leeeeeroy Jenkins and South Park’s World of Warcraft episode among them). 25…
