New York, December 02, 2013 /Accesswire/ - Market Buzz Report, a leading penny stock newsletters provider, issues major news alert for Zoom Technologies Inc(NASDAQ:ZOOM), Petroleo Brasileiro Petrobras SA (ADR)(NYSE:PBR), Bank of Ireland (ADR)(NYSE:IRE), Akamai Technologies, Inc.(NASDAQ:AKAM).

Zoom Technologies Inc(NASDAQ:ZOOM) shares slide as investors who ran shares up as high as 244% since Wed. go for the door. The potential cause? A lack of new information from Zoom on the reverse merger with Beijing Baifen Tonglian Information & Technology, including the to-be-acquired company's financials.

Petroleo Brasileiro Petrobras SA (ADR)(NYSE:PBR) slumps 10% after Friday's announcement of a 4% price rise for gasoline and 8% for diesel, but "for commercial reasons, the parameters of the pricing methodology will be strictly internal to Petrobras." Raymond James analysts also say the guidelines on the pricing methodology are confusing, with two seemingly contradictory between Brazilian and international prices," while the second is to "prevent transferring the volatility of international prices to the domestic consumer."

Bank of Ireland (ADR)(NYSE:IRE) core tier one capital ratio falls a sharp 360 basis points to 10.6% following a balance sheet assessment and asset quality review by the Irish central bank. Under Basel III rules set to begin on January 1, the ratio will slip to 9.85%. "The bank continues to expect to maintain a buffer above a tier one ratio of 10%," says the lender, and the central bank has not asked it to raise fresh capital.The review found the bank needs to reserve for an additional €360M in mortgage losses, €486M for property, construction, SME, and corporate loans, and €547M for defaulted loans.The news comes at a tricky time for the bank which is considering raising €600M in fresh equity to help buy back $1.8B in preferred stock owned by the government (the cost of redeeming jumps 25% in March).
