In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker welcomes back Mordechai, head of Focus Capital Advisers, for his third appearance. They unpack what Mordechai calls the greatest acquisition of all time—Valeura Energy's buyout of Gulf of Thailand oil assets. The two deals, acquired at rock-bottom prices, now generate more than their cost in monthly free cash flow. Mordechai explains theasset's unusual geology, the long-tail economics of its reserves, and why the market still doesn't get it. They also cover decommissioning liabilities, NAV versus market cap, and how management might pull off more high-conviction deals in the future.______________________________________________________________________[00:01:14]Introduction to Mordechai and his advisory work[00:03:18]Overview of Valeura Energy and its asset transformation[00:04:38]Initial acquisition of the Wassana oil field from bankruptcy[00:07:06]Financials and economics of the Wassana deal[00:08:37]Comparison of Thailand offshore to domestic offshore assets[00:12:15] Uniquereserve dynamics in the Gulf of Thailand[00:17:08] Secondacquisition: Mubadala's Gulf assets and deal terms[00:20:00] Whythe Mubadala acquisition defies logic[00:24:14]Background on how Valeura got such a favorable deal[00:27:02] Whydeals done during peak 2022 oil prices still look brilliant[00:30:50] Whythe market hasn't fully caught on to Valeura's upside[00:33:49]Variance between reported reserves and economic field life[00:39:13] Datashowing reserve replacement outpaces depletion[00:42:56]Concession expiration and risks around renewal[00:46:56] NAVanalysis and investor skepticism[00:50:26]Updates on decommissioning costs and projections[00:51:50]Operational improvements and field efficiencies[00:53:04]Organic growth through field development and platform expansion[00:57:32]Upcoming catalysts and appraisal-based expansion opportunities Links:Focus CapitalAdvisors: https://focuscapitaladvisers.com/homeSee our legaldisclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

In this episode of The ifa Show, host Keith Ford is joined by Eugene Ardino, chief executive of Lifespan Financial Planning, to discuss some of the hot-button topics impacting financial advice and why, despite some challenges, there is still plenty of reason for optimism. Financial advisers are facing headwinds in the form of sluggish regulatory reform and the growing impact of the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR), which Ardino said is currently the biggest issue for advice, though high demand and deregulation on the horizon should see things improve. Listen as they discuss: What steps need to be taken to ensure the CSLR is sustainable without crippling financial advice. How the advice profession can work to attract more new entrants and sell the positives of the sector. Whether a change in minister is likely to speed up the implementation of reforms.

Donald Trump has long lived in his own reality, even before becoming President, and the reason is because he made those around him terrified to give him bad news. And now that he's back in the Oval Office, the same thing is happening. Trump continues to insist that things are clearly much better than they actually are, and the only way he could genuinely believe that is if everyone around him is constantly lying to him. Republicans have now changed their tune from "everything is fine with the economy" to "just shut up and suffer in silence." Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is leading the charge, telling Americans last week that they are going to have to suffer because, as he put it, "no pain, no gain." Tuberville compared struggling families to weight lifters and suggested that it is ok that you can't afford groceries because you will eventually (maybe) be able to. This isn't just condescending, it is flat out WRONG.Allies of Donald Trump are still, mostly, unwilling to speak out against his horrific policies and economic destruction publicly, but that doesn't mean that they aren't letting their voices be heard. According to new reports, Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles is being "inundated" with panicked phone calls from Trump's allies who are complaining and getting angry about the economic devastation that he is causing on a daily basis. For the second time in just a few weeks, Donald Trump wants to know what idiot signed a trade deal with Canada that allows them to "take advantage" of the United States, and also to supply us with energy. The trade deal he's referring to is the USMCA, which was signed into law in early 2020 by HIM. HE is the idiot that he keeps looking for, he's just too much of an idiot to understand that he's the answer to his own question.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

National political advisers have been urged to serve the country's major tasks and work to improve people's livelihoods through high-quality consultation and suggestions, in order to further promote China's modernization drive.Wang Huning, chairman of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body, made the remarks while delivering a speech to around 2,100 national political advisers at the closing meeting of its third session in Beijing on Monday.President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the meeting, which was held at the Great Hall of the People.National political advisers should focus on key and difficult issues in deepening reform, promoting high-quality development, ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, and maintaining social stability in carrying out surveys and making suggestions and proposals, Wang said.The CPPCC should strengthen the mechanism for reflecting public opinion, connecting with the people, and serving the people, enhancing the unity of Chinese people at home and abroad, he added.A resolution on the work report of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, a resolution on a report on how the proposals from political advisers have been handled since the previous annual session, a report on the examination of new proposals, and a political resolution on the third session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee were approved at the meeting.Samuel Yung Wing-ki, a member of the CPPCC National Committee from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said, "At this meeting, I have gained a deep understanding of the country's major policies and development direction, and I have also felt the country's emphasis on Hong Kong."Hong Kong should leverage its advantages in international exchanges and the "one country, two systems" policy to attract more talent to develop in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, he said.Jin Hua, a national political adviser from Qinghai province, said that at this year's two sessions she wore the traditional attire of the Mongolian ethnic group that she had got married in, as she considered the meeting to be a major event for the country."I am most proud that I can use my platform to bring the livelihood-related facts of the ethnic group to the national level. Then I can deliver good policies to our ethnic minority areas," she said.Yang Yuni, another national political adviser and a post-1995 member of the Hani ethnic group, said that she will make efforts to combine artificial intelligence with ethnic minority songs and dances to attract more young people to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, thereby assisting in vitalizing rural areas.

The rift between Elon Musk and Republicans is about to get worse. The New York Times reports that in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, President Trump's senior agency heads fought bitterly with Musk. They are angry with him because they themselves know the cuts by his so-called Department of Government Efficiency will produce all kinds of fiascoes at their agencies. Tellingly, they expressly don't want to take the blame for what Musk is unleashing! We talked to New Republic staff writer Kate Aronoff, who has a good new piece about some of DOGE's hidden impacts. She explains why all this reveals deep schisms inside the administration that will only get worse for Trump.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The concept that education determines the future of a nation is a widely acknowledged consensus globally.That could be the reason education was at the forefront of the discussion on Thursday when President Xi Jinping joined the group meeting in Beijing of the country's national political advisers from the China Democratic League, the China Association for Promoting Democracy and the education sector."In every household, education is now a focal point of attention, with numerous hot topics in this field," Xi told the political advisers, who were attending the third session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "This not only indicates a strong educational atmosphere, but also reflects a certain gap between our education system and the expectations of the people."Cai Guangjie, deputy director of the Education Department of Sichuan province, presented her research findings to Xi, revealing a significant demographic shift in the country — the decrease in the school-age population.To address these emerging challenges, Cai gave her advice on optimizing resource allocation, including controlling the construction of new schools and facilitating the transfer of students from under-resourced rural schools to better-equipped schools in towns.Cai's remarks evoked Xi's memories of the early days of China's reform and opening-up. At the time, the country provided many children with the opportunity to receive education through initiatives such as raising funds from various sources to establish and operate schools, and through Project Hope, which was launched in 1989 with the goal of ensuring that students in impoverished areas were given greater access to education."Back then, I was quite happy to have raised funds to build a primary school in Liangjiahe village. But the school was later closed," Xi recalled. Liangjiahe was an impoverished village in northwestern China's Shaanxi province.However, the school's closure was actually a positive development, Xi said, because students were relocated to a school in the township area to receive a higher-quality education.Xi also said that new issues have been brought about "by changes occurring amid progress. The process of solving these problems is also a process of development and advancement".China's preschool education is an example. With the increase in the number of people living in urban areas in recent years, many kindergartens have been left unused in some areas, while the number of quality kindergartens is still short of demand.Xi said this situation cannot be changed immediately, as solving these issues requires adjustment of the educational structure."The adjustment might be realized only after the implementation of one or two five-year plans," he said. "There are many factors to consider in the process. But if we don't start planning now, it will be too late by then."Urgent priorityXi said that although education requires sustained efforts over time, it is also an urgent priority.He cited the development of education in the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, saying that tremendous changes have taken place since then.At that time, the country was still very poor, and literacy classes were organized to combat widespread illiteracy. "The matter of importance back then was whether people would have enough to eat. Since the entire nation was experiencing a period of economic hardship, spending on education was very limited," he said.Nowadays, school-age children's access to basic education in China has been significantly expanded, and the conditions and resources necessary for running a school have also greatly improved.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, the country's education spending has exceeded 4 percent of GDP for 12 consecutive years."This fully demonstrates the great importance attached to modern education by the Party," Xi said.However, the challenges keep showing up.Xu Kun, president of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told Xi that he considers artificial intelligence as a key variable in building China into a leading country in education, given both the opportunities and the challenges that it brings.Xi noted that with the emergence of AI and the internet of things, the tools and methods for education will change, as will the abilities that students need to obtain."Reforms in such areas must be made in a timely manner," he said.Meanwhile, he stressed that efforts regarding the intellectual, emotional and spiritual development of students, as well as the cultivation of their basic cognitive and problem-solving abilities, must not be neglected."A solid foundation is essential," Xi said.He also highlighted the importance of reading."In the digital age, with the fast pace of society, it is not easy to sit down, calm your mind and patiently read a book," Xi said.He affirmed the proposal by Zheng Jiajian, president of Fujian Normal University, on creating a social environment in which people love to read.Xi said that children should develop the good habit of reading from a young age. "We can combine digital reading with traditional reading to preserve our core values and literacy," he said.He added that as long as young people establish firm ideals and strengthen beliefs and confidence from childhood, they will become reliable successors in carrying forward socialism with Chinese characteristics."Chinese modernization and national rejuvenation will depend on the next generations," Xi said.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports President Trump says he's left instructions for what should happen if Iran assassinates him.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order Monday night tasking the Pentagon to build a plan for a multilayered missile defense system underpinned by both space-based sensors and interceptors. Under the directive, titled “Iron Dome for America,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is required to develop “a reference architecture, capabilities-based requirements and an implementation plan” to address emerging aerial threats against the U.S. homeland. The strategy, due to the president in the next 60 days, must focus on defense against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles and other aerial platforms. An artificial intelligence advisory panel created during the first Trump administration is delivering the president a list of 10 actionable AI priorities to pursue as he begins his second term. The National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, established under section 5104 of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act and signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2020, voted Tuesday in favor of a 10-priority draft document of “timely AI policy issues and proposed solutions.” The recommendations laid out in that document, NAIAC said, should “provide an opportunity for the administration to achieve its goals to advance the United States' continued AI leadership and competitiveness.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Political advisers in Shanghai have proposed comprehensive measures to enhance the city's appeal as a gateway destination for inbound tourists, including improved multilingual services and digital public offerings.上海市政协委员提出了多项综合措施，以增强上海作为入境游客门户目的地的吸引力，包括改进多语种服务和提升数字化公共服务。The proposals, aimed at building Shanghai into a high-level open gateway city, were submitted during the annual sessions of the city's legislative and political advisory bodies, which concluded on Saturday.1月18日，上海市立法机构和政治咨询机构年度会议闭幕。会议上提交的这些提案旨在将上海打造成为高水平开放门户城市。Advisers suggested aligning the city's digital public services with international standards and introducing an official multilingual guide app. The app would offer information on Shanghai's urban history, architecture and culture to help international tourists deepen their understanding of the city.政协委员建议，将上海数字公共服务与国际标准接轨，并推出一款官方多语种导览应用。该应用将提供有关上海城市历史、建筑、文化的信息，帮助国际游客加深对这座城市的了解。China's expanded visa-free travel policies, including the recent extension of transit visa-free stays to 240 hours, have opened the door to more international visitors.中国扩大了免签旅游政策，向更多国际游客敞开大门，包括近期将中转免签停留时间延长至240小时。South Korean tourists' growing interest in Shanghai was a highlight of the sessions. Data from travel platform Trip.com showed that between Nov 8 and Dec 28 last year, orders from inbound tourists from South Korea to Shanghai increased more than 180 percent year-on-year.韩国游客对上海日益浓厚的兴趣成为此次会议的一大亮点。旅游平台携程的数据显示，去年11月8日至12月28日期间，入境上海的韩国游客订单同比增长超过180%。In the Shanghai Municipal Government Work Report, Mayor Gong Zheng said the city aims to position itself as the top destination for inbound tourism, with internationally friendly tourism products and convenient services.上海市市长龚正作上海市政府工作报告时表示，上海的目标是打造入境旅游第一站，提供国际友好型旅游产品和便捷服务。Gu Weiling, director of the Shanghai Putuo District Administration of Sport, proposed creating a citywide action plan to optimize bilingual and multilingual services in all tourism-related sectors. The plan would include unified translation standards and consistent foreign language signage in public venues.上海市普陀区体育局局长顾薇玲提议制定全市行动计划，以优化所有旅游相关行业的双语及多语服务。该计划将包括统一翻译标准和公共场所外语标识。"Shanghai must also upgrade its tourism information service centers to benchmark against world-famous tourist cities," Gu said. She emphasized the need for information to be available in at least four languages, both in print and interactive digital formats.顾薇玲说：“上海还必须升级旅游信息服务中心，对标世界著名旅游城市形象。”她强调，必须实现至少四个语种同时展示信息，包括纸质版本和交互数字版本。Gu also recommended special reservation channels for expatriates on scenic spots' online booking systems, allowing passport numbers for registration. Additionally, she proposed offline ticket purchase channels that accept cash and support foreign bank card payments.顾薇玲还建议，在景区在线预订系统中设立外籍人士专门通道，允许使用护照号码进行注册。此外，她还提议设立线下购票通道，接受现金和外国银行卡支付。A collective proposal from some members of the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference suggested leveraging artificial intelligence-powered digital guide tools to meet tourists' diverse needs. Such tools are already widely used in cities such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, they noted.部分上海政协委员联名提案建议，利用人工智能驱动的数字导览工具来满足游客的多样化需求。他们表示，这类工具已在纽约、伦敦、巴黎、东京等城市得到广泛应用。"Currently, the lack of multilingual audio guides or functional QR codes at scenic spots makes it difficult for international tourists to fully experience Shanghai's culture," the proposal said.提案指出：“目前景点缺乏多语种语音导览或功能性二维码，国际游客难以充分体验上海的文化。”"While Shanghai is popular among South Korean tourists, their visits are often limited to traditional attractions, food and shopping. Even those interested in the city's history and aesthetics struggle to find information," it added.“虽然上海在韩国游客中很受欢迎，但他们的游览通常仅限于传统景点、美食和购物。即使那些对上海历史和美学感兴趣的人也很难找到相关信息。”提案补充道。Another proposal called for addressing challenges in inbound tourism, such as registering for local ride-hailing apps, using mobile payment systems, and improving multilingual services. Political adviser Yan Jiehong suggested that the Shanghai Municipal Foreign Affairs Office take the lead in developing systematic solutions to enhance digital experiences for tourists.另一项提案呼吁解决入境旅游面临的挑战，包括当地网约车应用注册、移动支付系统使用、多语种服务改进。政协委员严洁红建议，由上海市外事办公室牵头，制定系统性解决方案，提升游客的数字化体验。To address immediate needs upon arrival, Shanghai last year launched a one-stop service center at Pudong International Airport, offering Wi-Fi device rentals, SIM card and transportation card sales and foreign currency exchange.去年，上海在浦东国际机场推出了一站式服务中心，提供Wi-Fi设备租赁、SIM卡和交通卡销售、外币兑换服务，以解决外国游客抵沪后的即时需求。concludev.（以…）结束（讲话、会议、文章等）

America's wealthiest people have urged each other to give away more of their money since at least 1889, the year Andrew Carnegie argued that the richest should give away their fortunes within their lifetimes, in part to lessen the sting of growing inequality. So, what stands in the way of the wealthiest people giving more and giving faster? Philanthropy advisers say some answers are structural, like finding the right vehicles and advisers, and some have to do with emotional and psychological factors, like negotiating with family members or wanting to look good in the eyes of their peers. Piyush Tantia, chief innovation officer at ideas42, points out that unlike everyday donors, who may give in response to an ask from a friend or family member, the wealthiest donors end up deliberating much more about where to give. His advice is to think about philanthropy as a portfolio, with different risk levels and strategies ideally working in concert. That way it's less about the outcome of any single grant and more about the cumulative impact. Private and open conversations between donors also help them move forward, advisers have found. The Center for High Impact Philanthropy runs an academy that convenes very wealthy donors, their advisers, and the heads of foundations to learn together in cohorts. But executive director Kat Rosqueta said, that sometimes donors struggle with seeing how to make a difference, given that philanthropic funding is tiny compared to government spending or the business sector. Cara Bradley, deputy director at the Gates Foundation, said the scrutiny of billionaire philanthropy also means they feel a huge responsibility to use their funds as best as possible. Deborah Small, a marketing professor at Yale School of Management, said, in general, current social norms value anonymity in giving, which is seen as being more virtuous because the donor isn't recognized for their generosity. “It would be better for causes, and for philanthropy as a whole, if everybody was open about it because that would create the social norm that this is an expectation in society,” she said.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The Teamsters union has launched a nationwide strike against Amazon just six days before Christmas.  They're striking at Amazon facilities across the country starting and the union says it's the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.  Picket lines are up at Amazon facilities in New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, the Chicago area and three locations in Southern California.    Two ---- A bill to avert a partial government shutdown that was backed by President-elect Trump failed to pass the House last night. The bill needed two-thirds of the House chamber to pass, but failed to even net a majority. Two Democrats voted with the majority of Republicans to pass the bill, while 38 GOP lawmakers bucked Trump to oppose it. That brings us closer to the possibility of a partial shutdown, with the deadline coming at the end of today.   And number three — The Wall Street Journal  is out with a lengthy story documenting how President Joe Biden's advisers conspired to fool most of the public, the press, and even Biden's allies about the President's rapidly deteriorating mental health. It's a blockbuster, a look behind the curtain of what many of you suspected over the past four years … and were called conspiracy theorists for noticing. The big question: is the political press is D.C. dangerously incompetent or simple partisan cheerleaders? At this point it's one or the other.
