Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 72-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,679 on turnover of 39-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed higher Friday as rotational buying escalated, helping the broader market recoup its losses earlier in the session at a time of lingering concerns over the United States' arbitrary (隨意的) tariff threats. TSMC's suppliers got a boost from rotational buying, and Largan Precision Co., a supplier of smartphone camera lenses to Apple Inc., reported a large foreign exchange loss for the second quarter, citing a stronger Taiwan dollar. 3 soldiers injured during drills Three soldiers were injured in an accident over the weekend while participating in the Han Kuang drills. The injuries were not life-threatening. The incident occurred when a light reconnaissance tactical vehicle assigned to the 8th Army Corps struck a roadside curb in Kaohsiung. Officials say, the three injured servicemen in the vehicle were taken to a hospital for treatment, where doctors found that they sustained (持續) bone fractures and contusions. Authorities plan to strengthen training on military vehicle driving safety. That's the third military vehicle-related accident since the live-fire phase of the annual Han Kuang exercises began on Wednesday, but no injuries were reported in the other two incidents. (AH-CNA) F4 reunites during concert at Taipei Arena Taiwanese boy band F4 reunited on stage over the weekend during the finale of pop-rock band Mayday's concert at Taipei Arena. The performance was the first time since 2016 that the members of F4 shared a public appearance together. Their reunion as guests at Mayday's final of eight Taipei Arena concerts was revealed last month, and Mayday members say the appearance (公開露面,) took two years of planning. F4 officiallly disbanded in 2009 and its members spread into different areas of the Asian entertainment industry. (AH-CNA) France Announces More Military Spending French President Emmanuel Macron has announced $7.6 billion euros in additional military spending over the next two years. Speaking Sunday, he cited unprecedented threats from Russia, terrorism and online attacks. Macron aims to double annual defense spending to $74.8 billion by 2027, compared to $37 billion in 2017. He has stressed the need for a powerful military to protect freedom and Europe amid growing dangers, including Russia's war in Ukraine and global disinformation (假資訊) campaigns. Macron also calls for a strategic dialogue with European partners on France's nuclear arsenal. His plan faces criticism from left-wing parties over potential cuts to social programs.

Additionally, please visit this podcast's webpage for links to the articles and additional company and stock information. I have a great crop of 9 articles for you in this podcast! ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 1. My first article in this podcast is about a favourite stock for ethical and sustainable investors. It's titled Is Apple Stock a Green Investment? Net-Zero Goals and Sustainable Supply Chain. By Saptakee S. Seen on carboncredits.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is a key player in the fight against climate change. The tech giant runs one of the largest carbon reduction programs worldwide. And over 320 suppliers have committed to using 100% clean energy by 2030. This makes Apple an appealing investment for those who care about the environment and want solid returns. Apple's strong finances enable meaningful change. The company achieved record revenue of $124.3 billion in early 2025, a 4% increase from the year before. In the next quarter, Apple earned $95.4 billion, with an 8% rise in earnings per share. Services revenue also hit $26.6 billion, a significant milestone. This success is crucial for investors focused on carbon reduction… The company has cut global greenhouse gas emissions by over 60% since 2015… MUST READ: Apple's Best Quarter Ever: Q1 FY 2025 Revenue Hits $124.3 Billion, Carbon Emissions Drop  Manufacturing emissions account for about 55% of Apple's total carbon footprint. The company nearly halved product manufacturing emissions, dropping from 16.1 million tons in 2020 to 8.2 million tons in 2024. Apple's progress toward carbon neutrality: Goal Carbon Neutral by 2030 Apple produced the world's first carbon-neutral consumer electronics. The Apple Watch lineup and Mac mini achieved this through emissions reductions of over 75%. Remaining emissions were balanced by high-quality carbon credits from nature projects… These carbon-neutral products have key features: Over 30% recycled content by weight 100% recycled aluminum in cases Manufacturing with 100% renewable electricity Recycled Materials Drive Sustainability Apple has made progress in using recycled materials. In 2024, 24% of product materials came from recycled or renewable sources. The company now uses 99% recycled rare earth elements in magnets and 99% recycled cobalt in batteries… Apple's recycling innovations include the Daisy robot, which disassembles used devices to recover rare materials… Additionally, the company plans to use only recycled and renewable materials in its products by 2030… Carbon Market Investment Opportunities Apple invests in high-quality, nature-based carbon credits instead of cheap offsets. It spends up to $400 million through its Restore Fund programs, aiming for 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide removal each year… Strategic Advantages Through Environmental Leadership Apple's environmental leadership provides many competitive advantages. Its detailed carbon accounting prepares it well for global carbon pricing. Early use of renewable energy and efficient manufacturing gives it cost benefits as energy prices change… Investment Considerations and Risks The company trades at a premium price with a P/E ratio of around 28, which may lead to volatility risks… The stock has seen volatility in 2025, declining about 19% year-to-date. This may present opportunities for long-term investors focused on Apple's sustainability leadership and financial strength… From the above analysis, we can see that Apple Stock is a solid choice for carbon-conscious investors… As global carbon markets expand and ESG investing increases, Apple shines in environmental leadership. Its solid financial resources and focus on transparency make it a top pick for portfolios aimed at climate solutions and sustainable tech.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 2. Unlike the first article featuring a company which is in nearly everyone's portfolio, this second article features a company that is perhaps new to many of you. It's titled Why Temenos Is the Gold Standard in Sustainable Banking Tech—and a Top ESG Investment. It's by Eli Grant and found on ainvest.com. Here are some quotes from the article. Temenos (TEMN.SW) Temenos' ESG credentials are unmatched in its sector. In 2022, it became one of only 13 companies globally to achieve an AAA rating from MSCI's ESG rating system, placing it in the top 8% of all firms assessed. By 2024, Sustainalytics named it a ‘Low Risk' company with an ESG Risk Rating of 11.9—ranking first in its industry and sub-industry, securing the top 2% globally. This stellar performance isn't just about accolades; it reflects tangible actions. The company's carbon emissions calculator, developed with Microsoft and launched at COP27, allows clients to measure their environmental impact from using Temenos Banking Cloud. This tool isn't just a marketing gimmick: banks using its cloud platform reduce their carbon footprints by up to 95% compared to on-premise systems. Such measurable outcomes are critical as regulators globally push for transparency and accountability. Cloud Innovation as a Climate Solution Temenos' cloud-based solutions—like its flagship Banking Cloud and AI-driven Leap platform—aren't just about efficiency. They're a direct response to the existential threat of climate change. By centralizing banking operations in the cloud, Temenos helps institutions slash energy consumption and emissions. For example, a 2024 study by GoCodeGreen validated that Temenos' code optimizations reduced software carbon impact by 32% compared to 2021 levels. This environmental edge is a competitive moat… Governance and Strategy: A Boardroom Priority Temenos' leadership has embedded ESG into its DNA. Its board oversees ESG initiatives directly, and the company has committed to science-based emissions targets aligned with the 1.5°C warming limit… The results speak for themselves: Temenos retains EcoVadis Platinum status (top 1% globally) and was the sole software company to rank in the top 1% of S&P's 2024 Sustainability Yearbook. The Investment Case: Why Temenos Belongs in Every ESG Portfolio For investors, Temenos offers a rare combination of growth and values. Its cloud revenue grew 22% in 2023, and with over 700 clients migrated to its platform, demand is accelerating. Meanwhile, regulatory tailwinds—like the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and global carbon pricing mechanisms—are creating urgency for banks to modernize their tech stacks. Critically, Temenos' ESG leadership attracts capital from ESG-focused funds. Companies with top quartile ESG ratings historically outperform peers during market downturns, a trend that could amplify as climate risks materialize. Temenos isn't just a tech vendor—it's a sustainability pioneer. Its unrivaled ESG ratings, climate-conscious products, and strategic foresight position it to capitalize on two megatrends: the digitization of finance and the global push for net-zero. For investors, this is a stock that checks all boxes: ethical alignment, growth potential, and resilience in a volatile world… For ESG-focused investors, this is a must-hold.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 3. This next article is the first of 2 articles on dividend stocks that might interest ethical and sustainable investors. Its title is VZ Named A Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by BNK Invest and found on nasdaq.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Verizon Communications Inc. (Symbol: VZ) has been named a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by Dividend Channel, signifying a stock with above-average 'DividendRank' statistics including a strong 6.4% yield, as well as being recognized by prominent asset managers as being a socially responsible investment, through analysis of social and environmental criteria… According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, Verizon Communications Inc. is a member of both the iShares MSCI USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA), making up 0.43% of the underlying holdings of the fund, as well as the iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social Index Fund ETF (DSI), where Verizon Communications Inc. makes up 0.63% of the underlying holdings of the fund. The annualized dividend paid by Verizon Communications Inc. is $2.71/share, currently paid in quarterly installments.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 4. The second dividend-paying stock article is titled AvalonBay Communities a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock With 3.4% Yield (AVB). It's by BNK Invest and is seen on nasdaq.com. Here's some of what BNK Invest says about this stock. “AvalonBay Communities, Inc .(Symbol: AVB) has been named a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by Dividend Channel, signifying a stock with above average ‘DividendRank' statistics including a strong 3.4% yield, as well as being recognized by prominent asset managers as being a socially responsible investment, through analysis of social and environmental criteria… According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is a member of the iShares USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA), making up 0.10% of the underlying holdings of the fund. The annualized dividend paid by AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is $7/share, currently paid in quarterly installments.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest from around the world for ethical and sustainable investors 1.

Proper winemaking takes humility. It takes a story. It takes risk. And I guess risk is relative. when you come from nothing or next to nothing and you plot a path and execute a path, that comes from and takes humility. Mike Grgich landed in Saint Helena with $32 dollars sewed in his shoe and landed in front of a faceless hotel. He wasn't sure at the point what to do next and certainly wasn't aware of what was to become of him. Sitting with Violet Grgich is in itself sitting with humility. Such a desirable trait in a human being. She immediately draws you in to her outlook on life; perhaps a piece of her fathers outlook. The Grgich name might conjure visions of Napa Valley legend, but Violet Grgich proves she's every bit as fascinating as the myth she continues. In this unforgettable conversation, you'll traverse the triumphant, tumultuous journey of her father, Mike Grgich—the man behind the “Judgment of Paris”—from a small, impoverished Croatian village to the heart of California winemaking, with $32 literally sewn into his shoe and ambition sewn into his soul. Violet unspools the invisible threads connecting generations: the hard-won wisdom passed from father to daughter, the unwavering commitment to tradition and authenticity, and the belief that the story in every bottle is as important as the wine itself. Along the way, you'll uncover why organic, regenerative farming isn't just a marketing phrase at Grgich Hills, but a living, breathing value system; how a winemaker's hands-off approach reveals complexity in the glass; and why, despite decades of technological advances, the heart of great wine remains thrillingly elemental. Violet's reflections on the emotional power of wine—its capacity to conjure memories, ignite conversation, and bind friends—will linger with you long after, as will her thoughts on the shifting tides of generations, changing tastes, and why she's certain that, in the end, every age group rediscovers honest wine. You'll step behind the cellar door to meet the people, the terroir, and even the family spirit that defines Grgich Hills—learning not only the story of a vineyard, but how wine, at its best, transforms a simple moment into something infinite. By the end, you'll know not just how Grgich wines are made, but why they matter, and why the real taste of wine is the taste of a hard-won, beautifully lived life.   Grgich Hills Estate (Violet Grgich's winery) https://www.grgich.com Napa Valley Vintners Association https://www.napavintners.com Apple Inc.

On today's podcast: 1) President Donald Trump sowed chaos in metals markets by indicating the US would implement a higher-than-expected 50% tariff on copper imports, spurring a record spike in New York futures and a drop in the global benchmark. 2) Greg Abbott says authorities believe at least 161 people may still be unaccounted for in Kerr County, which was hit by devastating floods over the Fourth of July weekend. 3) Apple Inc. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams is retiring as the company’s longtime No. 2, marking a major changing of the guard at an already tumultuous time for the iPhone maker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple Inc. v. ITC

US equity markets advanced ahead of key jobs data tonight AEST ahead of the 4 July holiday, with investors also continuing to the progress of the massive tax and spending bill that is now being debated in the House of Representatives (after narrowly being approved in the Senate a day earlier) while eying the 9 July deadline tariff deadline - Dow dipped -11-points or -0.02% Nike Inc (up +4.06%) was the leading performer in the 30-stock index, climbing to a three-month high. Apple Inc (up +2.22%) advanced for a fourth straight session following reports at the start of the week that the iPhone maker could use OpenAI or Anthropic to power the next generation of Siri. Apple was the only member of the ‘Magnificent Seven' to lose ground in the second quarter (down -7.64%). Microsoft Corp (down -0.20%) confirmed a Bloomberg report of plans to make more cuts to its global workforce that could impact an estimated 9K workers and primarily effect sales teams. The latest cuts come just weeks after a reported 3% workforce reduction affecting ~6K employees. Amazon.com Inc slipped -0.24%, with a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing recording that founder Jeff Bezos more than 3.3M shares of his company in a sale valued at ~US$736.7M in late June. The stock sale is part of a previously arranged trading plan adopted by Mr Bezos in March. Under that arrangement, Bezos plans to sell up to 25M shares of Amazon over a period ending 29 May, 2026.

US equity markets advanced, pushing further into record territory to cap another strong month and impressive second quarter rebound - Dow rose +276-points or +0.63% to 44,094.77. Goldman Sachs Group Inc gained +2.45% to US$707.75 to be the leading component in the 30-stock index overnight and logging its third record closing high, with analysts at Citigroup noting the investment bank emerged as “the big winner” in last Friday's (27 June) latest annual bank stress tests conducted by the Federal Reserve due to its ”much better-than-expected” improvement in stress capital buffers. Apple Inc +2.03% following a report from Bloomberg News that the company is considering using technology from Open AI or Anthropic to power voice assistant Siri.

US equity markets resumed trading following the Juneteenth National Independence Day holiday, with investors' attention remaining keenly focussed on developments in the Middle East - Dow inched +35-points or +0.08% higher. Apple Inc rose +2.25% to be the leading performer in the 30-stock index and buck a weaker trend among the so-called ‘Magnificent Seven', with reports emerging executives have held internal talks about potentially bidding for artificial intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity AI. If regulators order Apple to end its partnership with Google, purchasing Perplexity would make it easier for the company to develop an AI-based search engine. The Bloomberg report came after CNBC confirmed on Friday (20 June) that Meta Platforms Inc (down -1.93%) approached Perplexity AI about a potential takeover bid before ultimately investing $14.3B into Scale AI. Microsoft Corp eased -0.59% to US$477.40 after touching a fresh record intra-day high (US$483.46). Amazon.com Inc lost -1.33% after the news that the UK's Groceries Code Adjudicator has opened a formal investigation over concerns that the retail giant may have breached rules requiring timely payments to suppliers.

In this episode, we talk to award-winning investigative journalist Patrick McGee, who for years led the Financial Times’ reporting on the meteoric rise of Apple Inc to become the world’s most valuable company after being on the brink of bankruptcy in 1996. As the iPod, iPhone and iPad revolutionised the way we live, Apple injected eye-watering amounts into China – more than $US50 billion a year by 2015 – training millions of engineers and assembly-line workers and endowing them with the skills to help propel China into the advanced manufacturing powerhouse it is today. While Apple cracked the code of making billions of dollars without actually owning the factories that produced its products, it became beholden to the Chinese once Xi Jinping came to power. With Xi weaponising the technology – and its supply chains – against the West, China now has, in McGee’s words, Apple “by the balls”.

US equity markets retreated, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq handing back earlier gains and snapping a three-session winning streak as investors digested a tame inflation report and fresh Middle East tensions while awaiting further details on China-U.S. trade talks - Dow flat Goldman Sachs Group Inc (up +1.51%), International Business Machines (IBM) Corp (+1.91%) and UnitedHeath Group Inc (+2.23%) all gained over >1.5%, while Amazon.com Inc (down -2.03%), Apple Inc (-1.92%) and Home Depot Inc (-2.02%) declined ~2%.

Bodenburg v. Apple Inc.

US equity markets settled with modest gains, building on last week's advance that saw the benchmark indices log weekly gains of over >1% as investors awaited news from trade talks taking place between the U.S. and China - Dow flat at 42,761.76. Apple Inc -1.21% as its annual Worldwide Developers Conference kicked off overnight, with the company announcing its first new iPhone operating system redesign since 2013. However, there were no highly anticipated updates around artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced Siri features, with Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi saying that the Siri features “need more time to reach our high quality bar” and that more information will be released “in the coming year.”  Boeing Co (up +3.18%) aircraft manufacturer landed its first plane in China after the easing of trade tensions with the U.S. led Beijing to allow deliveries of its jets again. Nvidia Corp +0.64% Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jensen Huang pledging to boost investment in the UK's AI sector at London Tech Week, describing a “Goldilocks” opportunity. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA GTC 2025 - AI Conference for Developers kicks off in Paris tonight AEST.

On today's podcast: 1) Tensions flared in Los Angeles on the third day of anti-deportation protests, as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement while President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom exchanged blame over the unrest and responsibility for restoring order. 2) The US and China are set to resume trade negotiations in London on Monday in a bid to further defuse tensions over rare-earth minerals and advanced technology following a phone call between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping last week. 3) Apple Inc. shares have been heavily tethered to US trade policies this year, but its annual developer’s conference could refocus Wall Street’s attention on a potentially bigger problem: its struggles with artificial intelligence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tesla shares slumped 14% on Thursday as President Donald Trump proposed ending Elon Musk's government contracts and subsidies after his onetime adviser attacked the Republican's tax-policy bill. Musk also said he would end the use of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and called for Trump's impeachment. The Tesla move weighed on US benchmarks Thursday that had earlier risen as Trump and China's President Xi Jinping agreed to further trade talks. Trump said talks would begin shortly at a location to be determined as the countries aimed to resolve disputes over tariffs and rare earth minerals. We take a look at how markets are digesting the headlines with Robert Schein, Chief Investment Officer at Blanke Schein Wealth Management.Plus - during President Trump's first term, he famously toured a Texas factory and claimed credit for bringing Apple Inc's production back to America. Except the plant had been running long before he took office. And it was an "unmitigated fiasco." Workers in China had to be flown in to help fix the mounting manufacturing issues encountered in the US heartland. We're joined by Bloomberg Opinion's Catherine Thorbecke, for a look whether a China exit is plausible for the iPhone maker amid tariff threats from Washington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

pWotD Episode 2955: ChatGPT Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 881,723 views on Wednesday, 4 June 2025 our article of the day is ChatGPT.ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by the American company OpenAI and launched in 2022. It uses large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4o to generate human-like conversational responses, enabling users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, an ongoing period of rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Some observers have raised concern about the potential of ChatGPT and similar programs to displace human intelligence, enable plagiarism, or fuel misinformation.ChatGPT is built on OpenAI's proprietary series of generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models and is fine-tuned for conversational applications using a combination of supervised learning and reinforcement learning from human feedback. Successive user prompts and replies are considered as context at each stage of the conversation. ChatGPT was released as a freely available research preview, but due to its popularity, OpenAI now operates the service on a freemium model. Users on its free tier can access GPT-4o but at a reduced limit. The ChatGPT "Plus", "Pro", "Team", and "Enterprise" subscriptions provide increased usage limits and access to additional features or models. Users on the Pro plan have unlimited usage, except for abuse guardrails.By January 2023, ChatGPT had become what was then the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in two months. ChatGPT's release spurred the release of competing products, including Gemini, Claude, Llama, Ernie, and Grok. Microsoft launched Copilot, initially based on OpenAI's GPT-4.

US equity markets fell on Friday (23 May) after President Trump reignited tariff concerns with a series of social media posts - Dow lost -256-points or -0.61%, with Salesforce Inc (down -3.63%) the worst performer in the 30-stock index. Apple Inc (down -3.02%) fell for an eighth straight session after President Trump posted on his Truth Social website that the technology giant will have to pay a tariff of at least 25% for iPhones made outside the United States. "I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," President Trump wrote. Bank analysts estimated that a $US1200 iPhone would, if made in America, jump in price anywhere from US$1,500 to US$3,500.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: But happy is he who keeps the law." Proverbs 29:18 Visionary Leadership is a call to dream big. Today's Bible verse is a profound truth that reminds us of the vital importance of having a clear and compelling vision for our businesses, ministries, families, and lives. As leaders, we are called not only to see what lies ahead but also to inspire others to embark on this journey with us. Reflect on your own vision: What do you see for your business? What dreams stir your heart?  Consider the transformative leadership of Steve Jobs, who returned to Apple Inc. in 1997 when the company was floundering. Through his unwavering vision, he redefined not just a brand but an entire industry. His belief in innovation and design brought forth iconic products that changed how we interact with technology. Let his story be a reminder that visionary leadership can turn challenges into opportunities and can inspire a collective pursuit of greatness. 1 Corinthians 3:10 says, "According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it." As you nurture your vision, remember, "A visionary leader doesn't just see the future; they inspire others to share in that vision.” The ability to communicate your aspirations clearly is crucial; it invites others to join you on this exciting journey. Your passion can ignite enthusiasm, creating a shared dream that unites your team and stakeholders. In these moments of reflection, take heart from the words of Jesus, who envisioned a world transformed by love and compassion far beyond his time. Embrace the belief that your vision can also transcend the present, impacting lives in ways you may never fully comprehend. Be bold in your aspirations, knowing that you are not alone—God walks with you on this path. Amen. Philippians 2:3-4 says, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Amen Prayer for the DayHeavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of vision and purpose in our lives and businesses. Guide us as we seek to lead with clarity and inspire those around us. Help us to craft a future that reflects your love and wisdom, transforming lives and communities along the way. May our visions align with your divine plan. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.

On today's podcast: 1) China said it is assessing the possibility of trade talks with the US, the first sign since Donald Trump hiked tariffs last month that negotiations could begin between the two sides. 2) Apple Inc.’s much-awaited quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China. 3) President Donald Trump will request a record $1.01 trillion in national security spending for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, more than 13% over the current year’s figure, according to administration officials familiar with the matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Asian stocks edged up and US equity-index futures reversed losses Friday after China said it's evaluating possible US trade talks, boosting optimism that tariff tensions will tamp down. China's Commerce Ministry said in a Friday statement that it had noted senior US officials repeatedly expressing their willingness to talk to Beijing about tariffs, and urged officials in Washington to show "sincerity" towards China. Meanwhile, Japanese shares gained 1.2% on optimistic comments from Japan's chief trade negotiator on their own talks. We get reaction to the day's market headlines from David Finnerty, Bloomberg FX and Rates Strategist in Singapore. Plus - the S&P 500 has gained for eight consecutive days, its longest run since August, amid increased optimism that trade tensions are waning since President Donald Trump announced century-high levies April 2nd. Investors will turn their attention to the US jobs report due Friday, the last piece of significant data this week, after disappointing earnings from Apple Inc. and Amazon Inc. We speak with Bill Adams, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Comerica Bank.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the S&P 500 closed higher for five consecutive sessions, the American equity benchmark posted its longest winning streak since November. Monday marked the fifth time in the past month the index fully wiped out an intraday gain or drop of 1% or more. The number of reversals already matches the total seen in the entire year of 2024. After the US close, President Donald Trump renewed criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as he championed his economic policies and tariff regime during a Tuesday event to mark his 100th day in office. We break down Trump's remarks with Joe Mathieu, Host of Bloomberg's Balance of Power. As uncertainty around US tariffs looms over global markets, investors in Asia are looking ahead to key economic data from China to get a sense of the macro environment. We speak with Mary Nicola, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore. Plus - four of the so-called Magnificent Seven - Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. - are due to report earnings this week. Analysts expect the group — which also includes Google-parent Alphabet, Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. — to deliver an average of 15% profit growth in 2025, a forecast that's barely budged since the start of March despite the flareup in trade tensions. We preview the numbers with David Nicholson, Chief Research Officer at The Futurum Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast: 1) European stocks surrendered most of an early advance and Wall Street futures pared gains as China played down progress in its trade dispute with the US. 2) Google parent Alphabet Inc. reported first-quarter revenue and profit that exceeded analysts’ expectations, buoyed by continued strength in its search advertising business. 3) Apple Inc. is seeking to import most of the iPhones it sells in the US from India by the end of next year, accelerating a shift beyond China to mitigate risks related to tariffs and geopolitical tensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US Customs and Border Protection announced in an updated guidance late Friday that the government has exempted smartphones, computers and other electronic products from its "reciprocal tariffs."美国海关与边境保护局在周五深夜更新的政策指南中宣布，政府已将智能手机、计算机及其他电子产品从"对等关税"清单中豁免。The document stated that the exemption applies to electronic products entering the United States after April 5, and "reciprocal tariffs" already paid can be refunded upon request.文件显示，此项豁免适用于4月5日之后进入美国市场的电子产品，已缴纳的"对等关税"可根据申请退还。"This is a massive U-Turn in tariff policy," said the Kobeissi Letter, a financial newsletter on social media X.社交媒体X平台知名金融简报《Kobeissi快讯》评论称："这是关税政策的重大转折。"The latest announcement could potentially cushion consumers from sticker shock while benefiting electronics giants including Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co, according to Bloomberg.据彭博社分析，这项最新政策既能缓解消费者面临的价格冲击，也将使苹果公司和三星电子等科技巨头获益。The broad and unpredictable tariff policies have triggered turbulence in financial markets and even drawn criticism from key figures within the Republican Party, including former Vice President Mike Pence.当前广泛且难以预测的关税政策已引发金融市场动荡，甚至招致包括前副总统迈克·彭斯在内的共和党核心人物的批评。exemptv.豁免refundv.退还cushionv.缓解triggerv.引发reciprocal tariffs对等关税

Tariff announcements cause market chaos           In an effort to balance trade relationships across the globe, several new tariff announcements were made on April 2nd. This caused the markets to decline sharply in Thursday's session with the Nasdaq closing down nearly 6% and the S&P 500 closing down nearly 5%. I must say I was not necessarily surprised by that decline, but was more surprised by the run up in the market in the days leading up to the announcement. The administration has been talking about these tariffs for months and I for one was not necessarily surprised by the actions they plan on taking. The U.S. will be implementing a baseline tariff rate of 10% on all countries and that goes into effect on April 5th. After research into trade practices from other countries including tariffs, currency manipulation, and trade barriers the U.S. will also be implementing higher duties on several countries. This includes an additional 34% on China, which comes on top of the previous tariffs for a new effective rate of 54%. According to the administration, this compares to a calculated tariff rate of 67% from China. Other tariffs included a 20% rate on the European Union vs a 39% calculated rate on our goods, a 46% rate on Vietnam vs a 90% calculated rate on our goods, a 32% rate on Taiwan vs a 64% calculated rate on our goods, and a 24% rate on Japan vs a calculated rate of 46% on our goods. This is just a small sample as more than 180 countries and territories will be facing these reciprocal tariffs. The problem here is the bottom for stocks might not be in as there will likely be continued announcements from other countries with their response. Some countries like China, France, Canada, and Germany have responded with a combative tone and a promise to fight back. I continue to believe this trade war will not be solved overnight, but I must say with the pullback there definitely appears to be some opportunities surfacing. I'd be careful waiting for the all clear on this as by the time that comes, you may have missed some great opportunities.     Trade barriers increase around the world It is not just the US that is increasing tariffs, many countries around the world are also increasing their tariffs. There are some economists predicting that we could be headed to the biggest increase in protectionism since the 1930s, when the Smoot-Harley tariff act was in place. Back then the average tariff rate in the US was nearly 30%. Today it is around 8.4%. When it comes to the group of 20 leading economies in the world, there are roughly 4650 import restrictions, of which the US has roughly 1000. The EU, China, Canada, Mexico account for roughly 700 restrictions with the other 15 countries accounting for 3000 restrictions. Some people feel the United States is being aggressive by adding all these tariffs to products coming in to our country, but when you look at the numbers and the facts, it appears we are just playing catch-up and we are way behind the rest of the world as they have been putting tariffs on our products going into their countries. I don't understand why we are singled out as being such a bad country and unfriendly to other countries just because we want free trade in the world. I'm sure if they dropped their tariffs, we would do the same.   Jobs Report shows some positive news on a difficult day for the market With all the news around tariffs and trade, it's almost like everyone forgot that a jobs report was released on Friday. Job growth remained very healthy with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 228,000 in the month of March. This easily topped the estimate of 140,000 and was a nice increase compared to February's reading of 117,000. The previous two months did see negative revisions of 34,000 in the month of February and 14,000 in the month of January. The unemployment rate did tick higher to 4.2% from last month's reading of 4.1%, but this was largely due to an increase in the labor force participation rate. A major positive on the inflation front was wage inflation came in at annual rate of 3.8%, which was down from last month's reading of 4.0% and was more in line with a healthy level that creates growing wages but puts less pressure on inflationary forces. I was surprised to federal government positions declined by just 4,000 in the month, but yet a report Thursday from Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicated Doge-related layoffs have totaled more than 275,000 so far. Apparently, the BLS noted that workers on severance or paid leave are still counted as employed, which would have a large impact on the employment numbers. It will be interesting to see how the employment situation shakes out in this category and if the private sector can absorb those lost jobs. It's hard for some to look through the noise of all the trade announcements, but I still believe the economy is in alright spot and the growing concerns for recession may be overblown.     What is a Solo 401(k)? A Solo 401(k) is a retirement savings plan designed for self-employed individuals or business owners with no employees. Also known as an individual 401(k), this plan offers significant tax advantages and higher contribution limits compared to other retirement accounts, such as SEP-IRAs.  One major advantage of a Solo 401(k) is the ability to contribute as both the employer and the employee. For 2024, the contribution limit as an employee is $23,000 (or $30,500 if age 50 or older), which can be made on a pre-tax or Roth basis. For employer contributions, the limit is up to 25% of compensation, bringing the total maximum contribution to $69,000 (or $76,500 for those 50+). Many plans now allow employer contributions to be made on a Roth basis as well. To be eligible, you must be a business owner with no full-time employees, which includes sole proprietors, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. However, spouses of business owners may also participate, effectively doubling the possible contribution. Another key benefit is that a Solo 401(k) can be paired with backdoor Roth contributions, making it an attractive option for high-income earners looking for additional tax-advantaged savings. This offers a distinct advantage over Traditional IRAs and SEP-IRAs, which can trigger taxes on backdoor Roth conversions. A Solo 401(k) is an excellent retirement savings tool for self-employed individuals due to its high contribution limits and tax benefits. Additionally, some business owners may still be eligible to make a 2024 employer contribution if completed before the tax filing deadline.   Companies Discussed: LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPLA), Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK), Apple, Inc. (AAPL) & Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL)

Apple is going to take a beating Goods shipped from China to the US will face 54% tariffs, and Vietnam —where Apple has shifted some of its manufacturing— has tariffs of 46%. The only good news for consumers is the inventory that's already in the US isn't subject to tariffs, and companies have been stockpiling inventory – but that will change. We also don't know how much of these tariffs will be absorbed into the profit margin, and how much will be passed on. It's partly why Apple's stock has taken a beating, because they're either going to see decreased revenue if consumers hold onto their devices longer, or their profits crunched by increased costs. Nintendo's halting pre-orders on its new console The hotly anticipated Switch 2 won't be taking pre-orders in the US on April 9th, as was the plan just two days ago. The company says it's taking the step "in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions”. Nintendo says the console's June 5th release date is unchanged. They also haven't said where its new consoles will be made. Initial feedback from the launch was about the price – from the console to the games to the accessories, things are more expensive all around. Switch 2 will hit stores at $449.99 USD / $799 NZD, along with new games “Mario Kart World” and “Street Fighter 6″. It's larger and faster than the OG Switch and includes a dedicated button to launch a chat with your friends. The improved processors mean 24 racers can compete in Mario Kart World at the same time.
