Lyn Alden raised $40M to launch Orange Juice, a holding company that buys cash-flowing businesses and layers Bitcoin on top, not another pure-play treasury bet. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Lyn Alden just raised $40 million to launch a Bitcoin-backed holding company that skips the trade most of crypto is chasing. Rather than build another pure-play Bitcoin treasury stock, Orange Juice buys cash-flowing, unglamorous businesses and layers a Bitcoin treasury on top at the parent-company level. Lyn Alden, cofounder of Orange Juice and a partner at Ego Death Capital, frames it as a countercyclical alternative to procyclical treasury companies, and she does not spare Strategy from criticism. She compares Orange Juice's structure to Berkshire Hathaway and argues Strategy let its dollar reserve fall too far, weighing in as Laura invokes Michael Saylor's 'sell a kidney' line and STRC's slide to near $85 against its $100 target. She also addresses BIP-110's inscription debate and Bitcoin's quantum computing threat, questioning whether the community's resistance to change is a strength or a liability.

Ralph welcomes back his old running mate, Native American activist, Winona LaDuke, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices to talk about her latest incarnation: hemp farmer. Then, we'll speak to Hal Weitzman, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, about how Elon Musk's feud with Delaware may transform corporate America. Plus, we tick off Robert Reich's ten policy prescriptions the Democratic Party should fight for to beat the GOP in the upcoming midterms.Winona LaDuke is an activist, economist, and author, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She is also a two-time vice-presidential candidate with Ralph Nader. Ms. LaDuke lives and works on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, where she runs Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm. She is also a member of the Indigenous Hemp & Cannabis Farmer's Cooperative.I'm looking first at seed sovereignty. We're growing [European hemp] varieties and then we're growing these feral hemp varieties. They're called feral varieties (which of course, that's something that I love) which means that when they eradicated hemp in the 1930s with the Marijuana Prohibition Act—well, they missed some spots. And those guys kept growing. And so 80 years of being illegal—isn't that great? Something that's illegal for 80 years is still with us, rocking out. And so I figure if you grew illegally for 80 years, you are really a tough hemp plant…And so we are growing out these hemp varieties and built a cooperative because we want to own the seeds and we want to own the technology (the value-added processing), and we want to use this hemp as a part of our future as tribes.Winona LaDukeMy grandsons are farming. I don't know who else can say their grandchildren are farming—let me know. My grandchildren are farming. They're running the horses. They're running the farms. You know, that's a retirement plan. My 401k will be worth nothing, but my grandchildren will feed me. This is my strategy.Winona LaDukeHal Weitzman is Executive Director for Intellectual Capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, editor-in-chief of Chicago Booth Review, and host of The Chicago Booth Review podcast. A former Financial Times editor and foreign correspondent, he is the author of Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering and What's the Matter with Delaware?: How the First State Has Favored the Rich, Powerful, and Criminal—and How It Costs Us All.There is a race to the bottom. There's been a race to the bottom for many decades. That's not new. I think it's accelerated somewhat. Delaware has joined that race from having been something of a “premium product” in terms of incorporating companies—Delaware has become a bit more “cut-price” I would say, and in that sense has followed Texas and Nevada. So the conclusion that we have a race to the bottom and it may be worse than Delaware—actually I think Delaware's already there. So it's not that it's getting worse outside of Delaware, it's getting worse including Delaware.Hal WeitzmanThe trend I think we're seeing is the exclusion of small shareholders completely—regardless of the status of your shares, this is about how big you are. And if you're a small shareholder there is no corporate democracy for you… It was practice in the past for activist groups, campaigning groups, to buy one share of a company and then to go to the shareholder meeting so they could make the point that they wanted to make. Now that kind of shareholder democracy is being encroached on. And the extent now is to say: unless you have a large position (regardless of the size of the company and the cost of the shares), you will not be allowed to bring suits against the executives for the correct running of the company.Hal WeitzmanNews 7/17/26* Our top story this week is New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to impose a one-year “pause” on the construction of AI data centers across the state. ABC7 reports that this is the first such moratorium in the nation, despite similar attempts in several states, most notably Maine where Governor Janet Mills vetoed a bill to this effect. Hochul argues that the pause is necessary so lawmakers and regulators can formulate “Guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution, and protect our natural resources, especially our water supply.” Hochul's move comes amidst a broader push against AI data centers from the left. Semafor reports Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a nationwide ban in March and many progressives running for state and local office in the midterms have made this a cornerstone of their campaigns. According to this piece, “In February, polling from Marquette Law School found 70% of all Wisconsinites agreeing that ‘the costs of the data centers outweigh the benefits.' Among Democrats, the number was 85%.”* Another progressive Member of Congress quite literally stepped into another hot-button political issue this week. While visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, Al Jazeera reports armed settlers stopped the van of Representative Ro Khanna and were “later joined by Israeli soldiers who continued to block the road.” In a video, Khanna points out, settlers can be seen “brandishing M4s [rifles], kicking the tyres of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us.” This continued for over an hour and was only resolved when he reached out to the American Embassy, according to Khanna. Israel has responded to this fiasco by blaming Khanna, accusing the congressman of failing to coordinate his trip with the Israeli government; Khanna retorted that “The [Israeli military] is lying” and called for the arrest of the violent settlers. Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson excoriated U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, writing “An American member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman…It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America.”* Following his return from occupied Palestine, Khanna again teamed up with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to sponsor an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would have removed the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the must-pass legislation. Responsible Statecraft describes the initiative as “an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes,” by creating “an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process.” This article also notes that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as ‘my plan.'” However, House leadership is not backing this commonsense, bipartisan amendment. In a letter, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would vote against the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and claiming the amendment would “restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” per the Times of Israel. However, Jeffries pledged not to whip votes against the amendment and indeed the House Minority Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, voted for the amendment as did Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, despite the opposition of Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. The Congressional Progressive Caucus reportedly whipped votes in favor of the amendment.* In more Israel-related news, this week Marco Rubio – who serves as Secretary of State as well as the acting National Security Advisor – announced that the State Department will launch a “sweeping campaign to dismantle…the International Criminal Court.” CNN observes that “The administration's ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump's first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan,” and that since taking office for the second time, the Trump administration has “imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.” CNN also quotes a State Department official who said that top officials, including Secretary Rubio and US ambassadors, “are calling countries as part of a campaign to diplomatically isolate the International Criminal Court.” It is worth noting that “all American presidents since the ICC's ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans,” and that Congress even passed a law calling for an invasion and occupation of the Hague if any American serviceman was ever prosecuted by the ICC, implying that this crackdown on the court is not about American sovereignty at all but rather the prosecution of Israeli officials for their war crimes in Gaza.* In another stunning story starring Marco Rubio, the New York Times reports the Secretary of State is functionally “running Venezuela from afar.” The Times story characterizes Rubio's position as the “de facto viceroy of Venezuela,” effectively controlling the country's “finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government.” This story makes clear that while Delcy Rodríguez, the former Vice President of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, nominally occupies the presidency, Rubio is the one really calling the shots, with Rubio setting the conditions on what Venezuela's export revenue “can be spent on, and by whom,” and having the authority to approve or deny key governmental appointments in the country, such as the minister of defense. In short, the United States has established a shocking explicitly neo-colonial regime in the country, fulfilling the gravest prognostications of anti-imperialist critics of American intervention in the Bolivarian Republic.* Closer to home, Bloomberg reports the federal government has officially launched a grand jury investigation into the United Auto Workers and the union's outspoken president, Shawn Fain. The investigation stems from accusations made by the union's Vice President, Rich Boyer, who alleged that Fain used his position to secure benefits for his fiancée and her sister – and when Boyer refused to approve the benefits, Fain retaliated by stripping Boyer of his duties as chief negotiator with Stellantis NV. Fain has called the allegations “false” and is accusing Boyer of seeking to influence the upcoming UAW leadership election. Fain also claims that Boyer is the one retaliating after Fain “refused the vice president's request to hire family members to positions in the union.” Fain has long maintained that the Justice Department, and specifically the DOJ-appointed monitor, Neil Barofsky, has a political grudge against him because “the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.” According to Bloomberg, “Both Fain and Boyer have slates running and each is accusing the other of attempting to abuse their positions to benefit family.”* This week, another victim of harassment by the federal government, student activist Mahmoud Khalil, filed a landmark civil rights suit alleging that the government conspired with a number of private groups – including the Heritage Foundation, Betar, and Canary Mission – to “suppress criticism of Israel through a coordinated campaign to dox, jail and ultimately deport student activists.” According to the lawsuit, said activists were “nearly automatically targeted by the Federal Defendants for arrest and removal.” Khalil's lawyers argue that this “public-private partnership” could violate the “Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that sought to restrict government coordination with vigilante groups.” The suit is led by the Center for Constitutional Rights. The AP reports “Soon after his arrest, both Canary Mission and Betar boasted of their role in flagging Khalil's noncitizen status to the government.” Since Khalil's arrest, Betar has agreed to “dissolve its nonprofit status,” following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Betar's members of harassing Palestinians.* Turning to the state level, this week 12 state attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta, filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, controlled by the Trump-aligned David Ellison. The proposed, $110 billion merger was approved by the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department last month, which reached the dubious conclusion that the merger is “not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers.” In the filing, Bonta and the state AGs for Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington allege that the merger “would extinguish competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflict substantial harm on movie theatres, basic cable distributors, and, ultimately, audiences nationwide.” This from Reason.* In the world of philanthropy, CNBC reports Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has “excluded the Gates Foundation from his sizable annual charitable donations.” As this report notes, the Gates Foundation has been among the top recipients of his annual Berkshire donations, totaling $47 billion worth of Berkshire stock since 2006. The reason for the exclusion of the Gates Foundation has been much speculated upon, in particular, whether it was due to the recent revelations about Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Asked about this, Buffett said that he had “read a great deal…in terms of what happened, with Bill and Epstein,” calling their relationship “distasteful,” but also saying that he “found nothing in there that was beyond what [he] could picture [himself] doing.” Instead of the Gates Foundation, all of this year's donations will go to foundations linked to the Buffett family.* Finally, British multinational diamond conglomerate De Beers, famous for coining the “A Diamond is Forever” tagline in 1947, reported this week that they plan to halt work at their “flagship” Venetia mine in South Africa as demand for the stones wanes. The BBC highlights both slackening consumer demand as well as competition from lab-grown diamonds, particularly those produced in China. That said, the closing of the Venetia mine – the biggest in South Africa, accounting for over 40% of the country's diamond production – will send shockwaves through that country's already shaky economy. That mine alone employs more than 4,000 people, while the mining sector employs nearly half a million. De Beers said they plan to reopen the mine in two years; in the meantime, they are looking to expand copper mining to keep up with demand from AI data centers.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Warren Buffett left the Gates Foundation out of his annual charitable donations for the first time, directing roughly $6 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock instead to four foundations connected to his family. The omission followed renewed disclosures about Bill Gates' meetings and correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett also accelerated his broader estate plans, announcing that his remaining Berkshire shares, valued at nearly $146 billion, will be donated to those four foundations by December 31, 2034. The Gates Foundation has received most of Buffett's previous charitable giving, totaling more than $61 billion since 2006.Buffett and Gates were once exceptionally close, but Buffett said they had not spoken for months following the release of additional Epstein-related documents in late 2025. Gates has denied knowing about Epstein's crimes and has not been accused of wrongdoing, maintaining that he met Epstein because he believed the financier could help raise money for charitable projects. The Gates Foundation has hired an outside reviewer to examine its past engagement with Epstein and its procedures for vetting potential partners. Buffett declined to directly judge Gates' conduct, but said he wanted to avoid involvement in anything that might later become the subject of an investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Warren Buffett omits annual donation to Bill Gates' foundation after his Epstein ties were disclosed - ABC News

We are excited to share this Special Edition featuring Senator Alan Armstrong (R-OK). Senator Armstrong, alongside Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Katie Britt (R-AL), and James Lankford (R-OK), recently introduced the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act. The legislation seeks to modernize the federal permitting process for energy and mineral infrastructure projects while preserving strong environmental protections. We were delighted to host Senator Armstrong to discuss his experience in Washington, the motivation behind the legislation, and what it could mean for the future of U.S. infrastructure development. In our conversation, Senator Armstrong discusses his transition from leading Williams Companies to serving in the U.S. Senate and explains why permitting reform has become one of the country's most pressing economic and national security priorities. He walks us through the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act, outlining how the legislation seeks to streamline federal permitting, reduce unnecessary litigation, provide greater regulatory certainty for project developers, and create a more predictable process for building critical infrastructure. We explore how permitting delays increase costs for consumers, discourage private investment, and threaten America's economic and technological competitiveness as electricity demand accelerates alongside AI and data center growth. Longer term, it's not an overstatement to say failing to address these issues will also threaten the country's national security. Senator Armstrong shares his perspective on building bipartisan support for permitting reform, maintaining an energy source-neutral approach, and ensuring that pipelines, transmission lines, nuclear facilities, and other critical infrastructure can be built in a more timely and predictable manner. We touch on the growing importance of grid reliability, the intersection of permitting reform and national security, and why he believes the current Congress has a unique opportunity to address these long-standing challenges before rising power demand and infrastructure constraints become even more acute. The discussion was especially timely as the push is on to get permitting reform done during this Congress. The Senator emphasized, “Who in the world would oppose this? We're going to be asking that question exactly on the floor tomorrow as we're starting to put pressure on moving this bill forward.” We greatly appreciate Senator Armstrong for joining us and for his leadership on this important issue. To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted key market developments, noting that favorable inflation data has supported markets this week. Cooler-than-expected CPI and PPI reports released on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, pushed the 10-year Treasury yield down to roughly 4.55% and reduced near-term pressure on the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates. In commodities, Brent and WTI crude oil prices appeared to have temporarily stabilized at approximately $85/bbl and $80/bbl, respectively, despite President Trump's escalation of military strikes against Iran. On the equity front, the S&P 500 was up about 0.25% on the day, supported by the favorable PPI report. Telecom was the top-performing sector, gaining roughly 2.5% to 3.0%, led by Google, following reports that Berkshire Hathaway had taken a large position in the stock. He concluded by highlighting the significant value creation achieved during Alan Armstrong's tenure as CEO of Williams Companies. Veriten Senior Advisor Bill Flores also joined the discussion, offering valuable perspective on the legislative process and the dynamics in Washington.

After more than 400 episodes across eight years, Corey Kupfer launches a new quarterly roundtable with his law firm partners Brian Meegan and Sara Mostafa (together representing roughly 90 years of combined deal experience) to unpack why the projected 2026 M&A boom has not fully arrived, revisit the negotiation tactics behind the 1951 Korean War armistice, and share parting wisdom for business owners in a slower market. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer launches a new quarterly roundtable format with his law firm partners, Brian Meegan and Sara Mostafa. Brian has been a partner for several years. Sara joined this year as the newest partner. Together the three represent about 90 years of combined deal experience across M&A, capital raises, cross-border transactions, and wealth management. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN You'll discover why the pent-up M&A demand projected for 2026 has not materialized as expected, how a Virginia-focused fund is challenging the assumption that acquisitions drain leadership talent out of state, and why wealth management continues to run counter to the broader slowdown. Brian and Sara explain what a $60 billion all-stock transaction involving AnySphere signals about AI M&A, what the 1951 Korean War armistice negotiations still teach modern dealmakers, and how a post-Soviet Russian deal turned on cultural understanding rather than a legal provision. THE FIRM'S JOURNEY TO A QUARTERLY ROUNDTABLE The DealQuest Podcast has run for eight years and passed 400 episodes with a rhythm of three guest interviews followed by a solocast. Brian Meegan joined the firm a few years ago as a partner and has appeared on the show as a guest a couple of times. Sara Mostafa joined this year as the newest partner and has also appeared as a guest since coming on board. With three partners now representing roughly 90 years of combined deal experience, Corey launched this quarterly roundtable to talk deals openly, share what each partner is seeing across their practice areas, and introduce a new Deals in History segment. DEALS IN HISTORY Brian opened the first installment of Deals in History with the 1951 Korean War armistice negotiations, which contained nearly every classic tactic anyone has ever written about. The North Koreans picked up the UN delegation in cars carrying white flags, used higher chairs to gain physical advantage, and pushed multi-meeting standoffs over table shape and flag size. At one point both sides sat in complete silence for over two hours, refusing to move on a single boundary point. The full negotiation spanned roughly 160 meetings across two and a half years, and the document that resulted is not a peace treaty. It is a ceasefire that has held since the end of the war. KEY INSIGHTS The pent-up 2026 M&A demand has not arrived. Energy price disruption, interest rate uncertainty, and other macro conditions have kept the big bump from showing up. Deal flow remains active, but both Brian and Sara noted a less frenetic pace toward closing. Wealth management remains a meaningful exception, with private equity capital and succession pressure keeping RIA deal flow robust. Outside wealth management, Sara is seeing active smaller and mid-market activity, especially for targets that have successfully integrated AI into operations. Andrew Dunlap's Virginia-focused fund is a useful counterweight to the standard acquisition narrative. He shared with Corey that 82 percent of Virginia acquisition buyers were from out of state, and top leadership talent tends to relocate with the new HQ. His commitment is to keep businesses local, in a mini Berkshire Hathaway style approach. Cultural understanding often matters more than a specific legal provision. Corey shared a story from the early 1990s, just after the Soviet Union fell, when a Russian counterparty refused to sign a standard non-circumvention agreement as a matter of deeply held belief. Corey structured around it by locking up non-circumvention agreements with the US suppliers directly, and closed the deal. There is a deal for almost any business frustration, challenge, or opportunity. Corey's parting wisdom points to acquihires, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and white labeling as underused options. Brian added Jim Collins' 2009 line to never waste a good recession. Sara closed with practical guidance for women-owned and minority-owned business owners to seek community and specialized funds beyond the SBA. Perfect for entrepreneurs weighing M&A moves right now, wealth management and RIA professionals tracking deal flow, and anyone interested in how experienced deal lawyers read the market quarter to quarter.

Jay Woods, chief market strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, says that the market has a "Janet Jackson - What Have You Done for Me Lately" attitude, which has made earnings cycles particularly volatile, and he thinks that will be amplified with the earnings on tap right now powering market moves, especially around market misses. While he believes earnings will be strong, he warns in the Market Call that "prices may not follow them," particularly as the market enters its slowest time of the year around a mid-term election cycle. Woods says that the stock market has seen a healthy rotation, but he expects a pullback before a year-end rally; in the meantime, he warns against chasing rallies. Adam Mead of Mead Capital Management and Watchlist Investing — author of "The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway" — talks about the evolution of legendary investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, how the company they ran is changing with Buffett's retirement and the legacy they will; have in the decades ahead. The new edition of the book was inspired after Mead saw Buffett at Berkshire's annual meeting after the nonagenarian announced his retirement. Plus, Chuck answers a listener's question about hiring a financial adviser and whether working with the brand-name firm that has renewed its nationwide advertising blitz on television would be all that it's cracked up to be.

The prevailing sentiment within the furniture industry is one of cautious anticipation, as current economic conditions have engendered a peculiar atmosphere characterized by stagnation in consumer spending, particularly on discretionary items such as sofas and dining tables. This week's analysis highlights a notable acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway, which has agreed to purchase the homebuilder Taylor Morrison for a substantial $8.5 billion; an event that some industry analysts interpret as a harbinger of potential recovery in the housing sector. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of this landscape, we shall explore the underlying factors influencing consumer behavior, including the significant demographic shifts among millennials who are increasingly entering their prime home-buying years. Moreover, we will examine the ramifications of recent promotional strategies that, rather than creating new demand, appear to merely redistribute existing consumer interest. As we navigate through these complex dynamics, we shall also address the pressing need for retailers to recalibrate their approaches to inventory and financing in order to align with the evolving consumer psyche. The current state of the furniture industry is indicative of broader economic uncertainties that are influencing consumer behavior and market dynamics. As we delve into the intricacies of this sector, we observe that a peculiar malaise has settled over the market, exacerbated by a confluence of factors such as soaring inflation, geopolitical tensions, and a housing market that has recently experienced a significant downturn. The prevailing atmosphere is characterized by consumers retreating to the safety of their homes, leading to diminished foot traffic in retail outlets and a resultant stagnation in sales figures. Publicly traded companies have reported a lack of growth, with many experiencing declines compared to the previous year, highlighting the challenges faced by the industry in attracting substantial investments in large-ticket items. Furthermore, even events like Amazon's Prime Day, which traditionally stimulate consumer spending, revealed a concerning trend of reduced average order values. However, amidst this landscape of hesitance and contraction, we note that some astute investors are positioning themselves strategically for a future recovery. Notably, Berkshire Hathaway's recent acquisition of Taylor Morrison signals a potential shift in the housing market's trajectory, as it marks a significant move by Greg Abel, Warren Buffett's successor. This acquisition is interpreted as a bullish indicator by seasoned dealmakers, suggesting that the fundamentals of the housing market remain strong, albeit currently obscured by short-term challenges. The underlying demographic trends, such as the increasing homeownership rate among millennials and a projected wealth transfer of $124 trillion over the coming decades, provide a foundation for optimism regarding future furniture demand. However, the consensus remains that any substantial recovery in the sector will likely align with housing market dynamics over the next 6 to 18 months, necessitating a prudent recalibration of inventory and financing strategies by retailers to better meet the evolving needs of consumers.

Every index fund quietly does something strange. When a company's founder retires, sells, or passes away, the index buys more of that company, not less. Haren Bhakta thinks that is exactly backwards. On this episode of Pale Blue Nexus, the CEO and founder of Inside Ownership Index explains why he would rather own the leaders of a business than the logo, and why he went through roughly 20,000 proxy filings by hand to build the data that proves it.We get into the moment at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting that sparked the whole idea, the difference between a "zoo lion" CEO who gets fed whether or not the hunt succeeds and a "wild lion" owner-operator who feels the pain of every mistake, and a study of stocks that returned 100 times their money over 25 years, nearly all of which shared one trait before the run ever started. We also cover why the most dominant company in history faded once its owner stepped away from the board, and where disruption tends to come from once leadership no longer has real skin in the game.Guest: Haren Bhakta, CFA, CEO and founder of Inside Ownership Index. The ETF trades under the ticker OWN.Subscribe to Pale Blue Nexus so you never miss an episode, and drop a comment with the company you think owner alignment explains best.Learn more about the guest: insideownership.com (ticker: OWN)This conversation is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice.

This week on the Trading Justice Podcast, I break down the improving technical conditions in the market as the S&P 500 approaches a potential breakout. After weeks of choppy consolidation, bullish momentum is starting to improve, support levels are rising, and the market enters the week with its best technical setup in several weeks. I also break down the developing reversal setups in gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum before celebrating America's 250th birthday with the Founders Portfolio. If the Founding Fathers were stocks in today's market, which companies would they be? From George Washington and Berkshire Hathaway to Thomas Jefferson and SpaceX, I match each Founder's personality, accomplishments, and legacy with a modern company.

Warren Buffett has reportedly paused his usual mid-year donation to the Gates Foundation while he waits for the results of an outside review into the foundation's past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett has given more than $47 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to the foundation over the years, making him one of its most important donors, but renewed scrutiny of Bill Gates' relationship with Epstein has now put that giving under a cloud. The review was ordered by Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman after recently released Justice Department emails showed Epstein communicating with foundation staff and trying to insert himself into Gates-linked philanthropy.Bill Gates has said his meetings with Epstein were about philanthropy and global health funding, while also admitting the relationship was a mistake. During private testimony to House Oversight lawmakers, Gates reportedly said Epstein later tried to pressure him using knowledge of Gates' extramarital affairs, though Gates denied witnessing criminal activity. Buffett's decision to hold back until the review is complete shows how Epstein's fallout is still reaching into the highest levels of philanthropy, raising questions about what the Gates Foundation knew, how close Epstein got to its network, and whether one of its biggest benefactors is willing to keep writing massive checks without clearer answers.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Warren Buffett freezes Gates Foundation donation as Epstein questions resurface: report | The Independent

Prosus draait financieel goed. Ook als je het belang in Tencent weg laat. Dan zijn omzet en winst met dubbele cijfers gestegen op jaarbasis. En Prosus deelt uit met een dividend dat 40 procent stijgt. Toch er is ook een 'maar': Just Eat Takeaway. Voor dik 4 miljard euro gekocht, maar het stelt teleur. De omzet daalt namelijk met 6 procent op jaarbasis. Zelf maakt Prosus zich geen zorgen: ze beloven binnen een jaar (met kunstmatige intelligentie) de omzet te laten stijgen. Deze aflevering kijken we of ze dat wel kunnen waarmaken. Hebben we het ook over het vertrek van de cfo van Alfen. Onno Krap heeft twee jaar gewerkt als de financiële baas van het laadpalenbedrijf, maar vertrekt ineens. Op stel en sprong, want vandaag ging het persbericht eruit en morgen is 'ie al weg. Wat daar aan de hand is, proberen we voor je uit te zoeken. Het is ook de aflevering dat we het weer eens over WeWork hebben. Je weet wel, de investering waar de baas van Softbank nog wel wat slapeloze nachten over heeft gehad. Dat is saai geworden en terug! Verder deze aflevering: Trump teruggefloten door Hooggerechtshof: Lisa Cook mag niet ontslagen worden Comcast splitst zichzelf op. Er komt wéér een mediabedrijf bij Moeten we de AEX-index veranderen in de AI-index? Volkswagen wil nog meer lozen. Nu ook onderdelen Te gast: Robbert Manders, van het Antaurus Europe Fund BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Copa Holdings — the Panama-based hub-and-spoke airline whose investment case now turns on two of the most debated questions in the stock today: whether Copa is a structural exception to the airline curse — protected by a geography no rival can copy and a cost base only a handful of carriers in the world can match — or whether even the best airline in the Americas eventually gets pulled into the same gravity that has destroyed value for nearly every other carrier. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:01:35) Why airlines are such a tough business to be in (00:03:55) What Buffett and other superinvestors think (00:16:47) Why Copa is different than other airlines (00:35:58) How being the best-in-class business can change the investors' outcome (00:38:38) How Copa built its moat (01:01:14) How Copa can defend its moat (01:22:37) Valuation discussion of Copa (01:24:36) Whether Copa is valued attractively (01:27:30) Whether Shawn and Daniel add CPA to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Send us Fan MailWhile everyone's been fixated on the SpaceX IPO, Google quietly pulled off the largest equity offering in history—roughly $85 billion—and basically front-ran the entire market to do it. In this episode of The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen break down why a cash-printing machine like Alphabet would raise money at all, and why they did it in the most fascinating way possible: a Berkshire Hathaway private placement at a discount, a common stock offering across Google's quirky three share classes, a $40 billion at-the-market program, and the structure that confuses almost everyone—the mandatory convertible.If you've ever nodded along to "convertible debt" but secretly wondered what the hell stock that converts into stock actually is, this one's for you. Kristen (the First Lady of Valuation herself) walks through exactly how a mandatory convert works—why the number of shares you receive is a moving target tied to the share price, how the conversion math plays out from zero to a 25% premium and beyond, and why Google layered on a capped call to claw back even more upside. Along the way, they get into book-runner drama, IPO fee structures, why Tesla loved these trades, and what it really signals when sophisticated issuers are dumping rich equity, rich volatility, and rich call skew onto a market full of bullish retail buyers.The bigger picture? This is the AI build-out narrative wearing a new outfit. With 100% CapEx deductibility on the table and a talent war driving nine-figure pay packages, the smart money is raising as much as it can, as fast as it can—and using the hype to do it on favorable terms.

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke explore Grab Holdings (ticker: GRAB). In this episode, you'll learn how Grab was able to quickly grow across eight countries in Southeast Asia, and what local adaptations they made to outmaneuver Uber, which eventually ceded its entire market share to Grab.   Despite Grab's astronomical successes, the company's stock is down 70% since IPO, and investors are wondering if perhaps now is finally a good entry point after the company reached its first full year of profitability. Shawn and Daniel discuss and estimate Grab's intrinsic value, plus so much more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:04:45) How Grab was able to outcompete Uber (00:11:46) What unique advantages Grab has been able to take advantage of in Southeast Asia (00:13:42) Why Grab's lending business fits so naturally into its flywheel (00:57:26) What are the biggest risks facing the company (00:41:21) Why Grab's profit margins are inflecting so dramatically, and where they could land (01:02:55) What makes Southeast Asia such an appealing market to invest in long-term (01:11:03) How to think about Grab's intrinsic value and attractiveness as an investment (01:14:26) Whether Shawn and Daniel decide to add Grab to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

This week: Google's parent company announced an unexpected move to raise $80 billion for their AI ventures. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and guest host Mary Childs– host of the new show Mary in America–discuss the logic behind Alphabet's stock-based fundraise, which includes a $10 billion share sale to Berkshire-Hathaway. Then, Mary explains why it's getting harder for investors to avoid exposure to AI thanks to the index funds who are bending their rules for companies like SpaceX. And finally, they examine why Spain's unemployment rate has dropped significantly and what that tells us about the relationship between immigration and the labor market.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Charley reflects on writing the first major book on share repurchases 50 years ago, when the idea was so foreign that Goldman mailed it to 1,000 corporations as a “legitimizer.” Charley also walks us through his new book, Great American Investments: A History of the Bold Initiatives that Shaped a Nation, covering 14 audacious public investments from the Louisiana Purchase to the Marshall Plan. He explains how each came down to one or two obsessed individuals, why Alaska turned out to be the bargain of the century, and how Frances Perkins muscled Social Security into law. As the episode winds down, he shares the lunch with Sandy Gottesman in the early 1970s that led him to buy Berkshire Hathaway at $700 a share — and hold it ever since.

Berkshire Hathaway is making a major bet on U.S. housing. Warren Buffett's company has agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison in a deal valued at approximately $8.5 billion, including debt. The move comes at a time when the housing market is still facing elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges, and slower home sales. So what does Berkshire see that others don't?   In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the deal, why analysts believe it could signal a bottom for housing valuations, and what it may mean for homebuilders, real estate investors, and the broader housing market. She also shares insights from industry experts who believe long-term investors are beginning to position themselves for the next phase of the housing cycle.   For more information on RealWealth's current syndication opportunities and multifamily fund, visit www.RealWealth.com/Syndications.   Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/berkshire-taylor-morrison-bet-housing-market-bottom.html

Group Chat News is back with the hottest stories of the week including Google's about to release 32 million genetically-modified mosquitoes in Florida — the boys break down why it's the worst PR move big tech could possibly make right now, and what Brad Gerstner is doing differently that the rest of Silicon Valley should copy. Then: a 26-year-old named Curry Barker made a horror movie for $750K that's already grossed $148M in three weeks. That's a 197x return on a $750K bet — while Hollywood studios are losing money on $200M tentpole films. The barriers to entry just collapsed and the establishment isn't ready. Plus the LA mayoral race heats up: why we're "quiet Spencer Pratt voters," whether he can beat Karen Bass in the runoff, and what his rise says about a city that's finally fed up. The Mamdani-in-NY parallel, the demo that decides it, and why this might be the biggest mayoral election in California history. Also covered: why America stopped demanding excellence (and China didn't), Berkshire Hathaway's quiet bet on Scottsdale homebuilders, World Cup ticket prices getting borderline criminal, and why Wembanyama might be the most well-rounded young athlete in sports.

Berkshire Hathaway giving investors optimism about a potential bottom in the housing market, as the company announces a deal in the homebuilding space.
