They've been led to believe it's just a few rate cuts here or there, when the reality is very different. The Bank of Canada is a perfect example, a central bank that has already lowered its rates by a ton.

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Tank Talks! Matt Cohen sits down with John Ruffolo to dissect the most pressing developments in tech, finance, and AI. From major banking shifts to the evolving landscape of AI-driven SEO, this episode delivers sharp insights and expert analysis you won't want to miss.* The Bank of Canada's latest interest rate cut—will it actually help the economy?* The power shift in Canadian banking: What CIBC's CEO transition means for the future.* Open banking and AI's role in reshaping the financial landscape.* The rapid rise of AI-driven SEO—how companies are optimizing for large language models.* CoreWeave's massive IPO plans and why John Ruffolo sees echoes of the Nortel bubble.* The brewing U.S.-EU trade war—why Trump's tariff threats could hit Canadian businesses harder than expected.Canada's Banking Future: CIBC's Big Shift (00:04:00)* Victor Dodig steps down as CIBC CEO after 11 years, handing over to Harry Cullum, a capital markets veteran.* The big question: Can Cullum lead CIBC into the digital era, or will traditional banks struggle to keep up with fintech and AI-powered banking?* Why open banking is no longer a threat, but an opportunity for Canada's biggest banks.John Ruffolo's Take:John sees Cullum as a strong leader with deep expertise in digital banking, positioning him well for the transition. However, he warns that legacy banks must move quickly to stay competitive as fintech innovation accelerates, or risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.AI's SEO Revolution: The Future of Search (00:10:00)* Companies are now optimizing for AI models, not just Google Search.* Mercury and Vercel are already seeing significant growth in inbound leads from large language models.* The big shift: Instead of backlinks and keywords, companies are feeding training data directly into AI models.CoreWeave's Billion-Dollar Bet: Nortel 2.0? (00:14:00)* CoreWeave, an AI-focused cloud company, is skyrocketing in valuation—going from $16 million in revenue to $1.9 billion in just two years.* NVIDIA and Microsoft are heavily invested—so what happens if they pull the plug?* Is CoreWeave truly innovative, or just benefiting from excess GPU capacity?John Ruffolo's Take:"This reminds me way too much of Nortel in the late ‘90s. They pumped up revenue, but it was all based on unsustainable deals. Watch this one carefully."As AI reshapes industries, banking undergoes major leadership shifts, and companies scramble to adapt to new digital landscapes, the stakes have never been higher. Will traditional banks successfully embrace open banking and digital transformation, or will fintech disruptors take the lead? Can AI-driven SEO remain a competitive advantage, or will regulators step in to level the playing field? And as CoreWeave pushes toward its high-stakes IPO, is this the beginning of a new tech revolution, or a repeat of past market bubbles? The coming months will reveal whether these trends signal long-term shifts—or short-lived hype. This is a public episode.

President Trump recently unveiled one of his most important initiatives called the “America First Investment Policy.” It's supposed to end Wall Street's insane practice of using U.S. retail investors' retirement and other funds to help the Chinese Communist Party threaten our people – and repress those of China. Yesterday, Ronald Reagan's financial warfare expert, Roger Robinson, told Maria Bartiromo's audience that J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have doubled down.  They intend shortly to use our money to raise at least $7 billion for a Chinese electric battery manufacturer known as CATL. The Defense Department says the company supports our mortal enemy's military. And five key legislators – one of whom is now Secretary of State Marco Rubio – have denounced CATL for using slave labor. President Trump, keep Wall Street from putting China First, again: Say “No” to CATL. This is Frank Gaffney.

On Wednesday, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, with Canada hitting back with counter levies on nearly $30 billion dollars worth of U.S. goods. In response to the ongoing trade war, the Bank of Canada cut its interest rate to 2.75% as the trade war rattles the economy.Between stock market downturns, increasing fears of a recession, and the volatility of U.S. President Donald Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs, Canadians are on edge.As economic unpredictability becomes the norm, a lot of us are feeling nervous about our finances. Today, the Globe's personal finance columnist and host of Stress Test, Rob Carrick, is here. Rob will help us make sense of the recent market downturns, and explain how to protect our money in the months ahead.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com

Bank of America Chairman & CEO Brian Moynihan says over-regulation of lenders is the main driver of customers being shut out of the US banking system and not political bias, “We bank everybody. The real question was about over-regulation frankly,” he said in an interview on "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations." This as President Trump publicly rebuked Moynihan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, accusing the bank of limiting business with certain clients. Moynihan also talked about his inflation expectations, working with the current administration and the company being a bank of opportunity. This interview was recorded February 25 at the Economic Club of Washington, DC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Credit Suisse wurde am 19. März 2023 von der UBS übernommen. Auch zwei Jahre später sitzt der Schock noch tief. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? Und: Was für einen Finanzplatz will die Schweiz mit nur noch einer Grossbank? Im Gegensatz zur UBS überstand die Credit Suisse die Finanzkrise ohne staatliche Unterstützung. Doch dann sanken ihre Erträge, mit ihrer viel zu grossen Investmentbank geriet die CS ins Hintertreffen. Führungs- und Strategiewechsel brachten die Bank nicht zur Ruhe, Skandale häuften sich, Verluste waren schmerzhaft. Im Film blicken ehemalige Führungskräfte auf die turbulenten Jahre zurück. Wie kam es so weit, dass am 19. März 2023 die Spitzen von Nationalbank, Finma und Bundesrat die Übernahme der CS durch die UBS verkündeten? Warum wählten sie diesen Weg, von dem heute viele sagen, dass er der UBS ein Schnäppchen ermöglichte? Und: Wie geht es weiter in der Schweiz mit nur einer Grossbank – was bedeutet es für die Steuerzahlerinnen und Steuerzahler, wenn die neue UBS ins Straucheln gerät? Die Geschichte der Credit Suisse ist noch nicht fertig erzählt.

The great wealth transfer, totaling $124 trillion, will occur by 2048, shifting wealth from Baby Boomers to their heirs. A report from the Bank of America Institute estimates nearly $100 trillion of this transfer will benefit women, with approximately $47 trillion going to younger women through inheritance and $54 trillion to surviving spouses, mostly women. By 2030, women in the U.S. are expected to manage about two-thirds of private wealth. The demographic of women aged 50 to 70 is projected to grow significantly by 2050, leading to increased wealth and independence for this group. This wealth transition will likely elevate demand for women's products and services, as women have outspent men on discretionary and essential items in the past year. Women also comprise a majority of solo travelers, prompting adaptations in travel offerings, such as the introduction of an all-female cruise route by Uniworld for August 2025.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Lets hear what you gotta say.

Martin Luther once said, “There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.”A strong marriage is a blessing but requires intentional effort, especially in a blended family. Today, Ron Deal and Greg Pettys join the show to discuss a valuable resource for second marriages.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Greg Pettys, CLU, ChFC, CFP, has thirty-four years of specialized experience in securities and life insurance sales and services. He is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family.Understanding the Financial Challenges of Blended FamiliesWhen two people enter a marriage with previous financial histories, children, and life experiences, their financial situation becomes more complex than that of a first-time marriage. They may bring:Separate bank accounts and investmentsExisting debts and financial obligationsDifferent parenting and financial philosophiesThe need to provide for children from previous relationshipsConcerns over inheritance and estate planningMerging finances in a blended family isn't just about money—it's about trust, provision, and love. Without clear communication and planning, financial disagreements can create tension, causing stress in the relationship.What Is a Togetherness Agreement?A Togetherness Agreement is a structured approach for blended couples to clarify their financial decisions, ensuring transparency and unity. More than just a financial plan, it is a tool for fostering trust and eliminating fear. It's not just about bank accounts and investments—it's about love, respect, and providing well for one another. It brings clarity to emotionally charged financial topics, ensuring that both partners are aligned in their vision for the future.Why Is a Togetherness Agreement Important?1. It Provides Financial TransparencyMany couples enter marriage with financial baggage—whether it's debt, differing views on money management, or past experiences that have led to distrust. A Togetherness Agreement creates a safe space for full financial disclosure.2. It Helps Prevent Conflict Over MoneyMoney is one of the top stressors in any marriage, but in blended families, the stakes are even higher. The agreement ensures both spouses are on the same page regarding financial expectations and responsibilities.3. It Protects Children and Future GenerationsWithout a clear plan, assets and inheritance can unintentionally drift away from children from previous marriages. The agreement helps ensure that financial resources are distributed according to the couple's wishes, not just default legal systems.4. It Strengthens Marital Trust and UnityA Togetherness Agreement fosters open communication, allowing couples to plan their future confidently rather than fearfully. It shifts financial discussions from potential sources of conflict to proactive, loving conversations.What Should a Togetherness Agreement Include?A Togetherness Agreement can be as formal or informal as a couple chooses. While some opt for a legally binding contract, even a simple written plan can be valuable. Key components may include:Bank Account Structure—Should finances be merged, kept separate, or a combination of both?Debt and Credit Considerations—How will existing debts be managed, and how will future credit decisions be made?Business Ownership—If one spouse owns a business, what will happen to it in the event of death or divorce?Financial Responsibilities—Who is responsible for household expenses, savings, and long-term care for aging parents?Inheritance and Estate Planning—How will assets be distributed to biological and stepchildren?Contingency Plans—What provisions are in place for special needs children, elderly parents, or unexpected life changes?When Should Couples Create a Togetherness Agreement?Ideally, discussions about financial planning should begin before marriage. However, it's never too late to start if you're already married and haven't had these conversations.If you're dating, start the conversation now. If you're already married, don't wait—begin today. The Smart Step Family Guide to Financial Planning provides a step-by-step guide to help you navigate these important discussions.A Togetherness Agreement is an essential tool for blended families to navigate finances with wisdom, clarity, and love. By fostering open communication and financial unity, couples can build a secure foundation for their marriage and their future.If you're in a blended family, consider creating your own Togetherness Agreement today—it might be the most valuable financial decision you ever make.For more insights, pick up a copy of The Smart Step Family Guide to Financial Planning and start building a financial roadmap that aligns with your family's unique needs.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My question has two parts. First, what is the best way to protect myself from identity theft? And second, our home is paid off - what's the best way to protect ourselves so someone can't come in and put a mortgage or lien on our house without us knowing about it?I'm calling regarding my estate planning. I remember somewhere in the Bible saying we are required or should leave something for our children and grandchildren.
