Active Energy Group PLC treasury strategy adviser Adrian Rowles talked with Proactive about the company's initial $100,000 allocation into a basket of trending digital assets and how that short-term programme complements longer-term energy and AI hosting initiatives. Rowles explained that Active Energy maintains some Bitcoin in its longer-term treasury, but the new, tactical allocation focuses on highly liquid alternatives with strong community momentum, such as Solana, Binance Coin and Dogecoin. He noted the timing also reflects caution around a major Bitcoin options expiry and the associated volatility. “It just seems a very good place to dip our toe in the water and start to position some of this money, and I'm anticipating the fourth quarter is going to be exceptionally strong,” Rowles said. Rowles outlined an institutional-style risk framework for the 30–90-day trading approach, including sizing, exposure, timing and duration limits aimed at optimising returns while limiting downside. He also set out how the trading activity sits alongside Active Energy's pipeline of AI power and hosting projects. The company has “projects in the pipeline… securing in excess of £10 million in revenue” and is in advanced stages of implementation, he said. Rowles added that Active Energy has identified surplus energy that can be sold to third parties amid tight grid conditions driven by AI demand. He cited a 30MW pipeline, describing it as power sufficient for a small town, and shared a constructive fourth-quarter outlook after a “red September” for crypto.

Mike Dickson focuses on small caps: “is this [rally] durable?” He argues that it is, citing expected interest rate cuts and an improvement of the earnings picture. However, he thinks that investors should be looking for actively managed funds within the space rather than buying the Russell 2000 index.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Big names on Wall Street are finally recommending serious allocations to gold and silver, but the smart move is to get positioned before the mainstream rushes in. With silver already at a decade high above $43 an ounce and gold climbing fast, this video explains why a 20 to 25 percent allocation makes sense right now. You'll see how central banks, mints, and market signals are lining up for the next major bull run. Listen now to learn why stacking today could protect and grow your wealth tomorrow. Wall Street is finally catching on, with Morgan Stanley suggesting 20 percent gold in portfolios and Jeffrey Gundlach saying 25 percent is reasonable. The bottom line is that gold and silver are not just collectibles, they are practical tools to preserve wealth, grow purchasing power, and provide peace of mind.
This week, Monika unpacks the government's bold twin tax cuts in 2025 and asks if India is switching gears to go all-in on growth. She explains how both direct and indirect tax reductions put more money into people's hands but also create a revenue gap of over 3% of the FY25 budget. Monika explores whether this fiscal gamble can revive private investment and lift growth above 7%, or whether it risks delaying fiscal consolidation. She also breaks down the GST Council's move to simplify the system from four slabs to three, and questions whether the benefits will truly reach consumers or get stuck as corporate profits.Monika then turns to the Reserve Bank of India's role in this story. With inflation low and food prices actually falling, she argues that this is the moment for a decisive rate cut to complement the government's demand push. She examines whether the fiscal deficit target of 4.4% should be relaxed to prioritize domestic demand, and stresses that beyond tax and rate cuts, sustained growth requires process reforms, cleaner cities, better jobs, and smoother governance. She closes with a festive-season reminder that growth begins on the ground — every extra rupee spent by households helps keep the economic engine running.In listener questions, Linus Sequeira asks if he should wait for the new GST regime before buying a sub-₹12 lakh car, Elin Jain wants advice on managing fund manager changes and a 50% allocation to one fund house, and Jairaj from MP seeks clarity on buying a super top-up health policy from the same insurer versus a different one.Chapters:(0:00 – 0:00) The Big Tax Cuts and Economic Strategy(0:00 – 0:00) GST, Price Transmission, and Risks(0:00 – 0:00) Car Purchase and GST Considerations(0:00 – 0:00) Fund Manager Changes and Allocation(0:00 – 0:00) Senior Citizen Insurance Top-UpsIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at mailme@monikahalan.com Monika's book on basic money managementhttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/Monika's book on mutual fundshttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/Monika's workbook on recording your financial lifehttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/Calculatorshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.htmlYou can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan.

In this episode of 7 Figure Annuity Sales, host Caleb North challenges agents to shift their focus from what they're doing to how they're doing it.

If you own indexed universal life insurance or you're considering buying it, you've probably looked at all the index options and wondered which one to choose. In this episode, we dive deep into the data to answer that question with empirical analysis rather than guesswork. We examine the two most common index options available across IUL contracts: the traditional S&P 500 annual reset with a cap and the uncapped strategy with a spread. Using 20 years of market data, we test different allocation strategies to determine which approach delivers the best results. You'll discover why the "optimal" choice might matter less than you think, with total differences of only about 1% over two decades. More importantly, we reveal how splitting your allocation between capped and uncapped options can significantly reduce volatility while maintaining nearly identical returns to the best-performing single option. We also explore why volatility matters even in IUL contracts that have downside protection. If you're planning to take distributions from your policy in the future, understanding how to minimize years with minimal credits becomes crucial for maintaining consistent income. The analysis shows that a 50/50 or 55/45 split between capped and uncapped options produces a Sharpe ratio of 1.7, compared to 0.6-0.8 for direct S&P 500 investments. This demonstrates quantitatively why IUL serves as a non-correlated asset rather than direct market exposure. ___________________ Ready to optimize your IUL strategy or have questions about indexed universal life insurance?

Chris Miorin's path to the CFO office began in a crucible of leadership. At West Point, and later at Ranger School, he was forged in environments designed to test resolve. Commissioned shortly after 9/11, he knew combat was certain. Leading an infantry platoon in Iraq, he found himself working side-by-side with a colonel “30 years my senior.” The challenge, he tells us, was learning how to add value humbly yet confidently in an environment where everything was fluid. Those early lessons in partnership and adaptability became cornerstones of his leadership style.When Miorin left the Army, he reset with an MBA at Kellogg, which he calls “two years to really immerse in how businesses run.” Investment banking followed, where he advised some of the world's largest oil and gas companies. In capital-intensive, cyclical industries, he saw firsthand how major decisions on raising capital, acquisitions, and divestitures shaped enterprise value. “It helped me understand how finance could have that strategic impact,” he recalls.From there, corporate development and M&A roles deepened his conviction that the CFO's crucial role is capital allocation—directing resources to projects that generate the highest return on invested capital. At Ingersoll Rand, he added investor relations to his toolkit, learning how to tell a “story with numbers” that connected business strategy to investor interest.Looking back, Miorin points to four experiences—Army, investment banking, corporate development, and investor relations—as the foundation for his CFO journey. That foundation ultimately led to his first CFO appointment at SpendHQ, an opportunity introduced through his Kellogg network.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has been mandated to disburse nearly $32 million in previously sanctioned funds to private fair housing organizations, which manage the majority of fair housing complaints filed across the nation. Despite the Fair Housing Act being enacted over five decades ago, housing discrimination persists, with 2022 witnessing a record 33,000 complaints. These funds are crucial for enabling these organizations to persist in their efforts to combat housing discrimination. Charlene Crowell has more information. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.

This week on Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, we break down a rollercoaster stretch for investors. Stocks started the week under pressure as profit-taking set in, geopolitical headlines out of Russia and Ukraine cast doubt, and a long-awaited market correction looked like it might finally be here. But just when it seemed the rally was losing steam, Jerome Powell stepped in with a surprise: the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates next month, with at least one more cut expected before year-end. The result? A Friday surge that erased nearly all of the week's losses and sent major indices back toward record highs.We'll unpack what this means for your money, where the opportunities lie in a shifting interest rate environment, and how to stay grounded when volatility tries to shake you off course.Don't miss your chance to sign up for our free interactive financial planning workshop, visit greenbergfinancial.com today to secure your spot.If you would like to contact us to learn more about our firm, our seminars, and our process - call us at 520.544.4909 or go to our website at www.Greenbergfinancial.com or email us at Contact@Greenbergfinancial.com

In this episode of 7 Figure Annuity Sales, host Caleb North highlights two critical mistakes that can quietly undermine an agent's entire lead strategy. These aren't just slip-ups—they're foundational errors that can derail your growth if left unchecked. Many agents pull the plug on a new lead system prematurely, basing their decision on initial impressions rather than measured results. Even worse, they point the finger at the leads themselves—when the real issue could be their sales process. ➡️ In this episode, you'll learn: Why abandoning a lead system too early can kill momentum and waste opportunity The key metrics you need to track to fairly evaluate any lead source How to identify whether the real problem is your leads or your process A framework for giving lead systems a structured, data-driven trial How top producers adapt and improve instead of starting from scratch If you're serious about building a predictable, profitable annuity business, you can't afford to make these mistakes. Caleb gives you the clarity and tools to move forward with confidence.
