Investors are once again questioning the sustainability of Hong Kong's foreign exchange regime. Critics argue the Hong Kong currency's peg to the dollar, dating to 1983, no longer makes sense as the city's links with China strengthen. Authorities have already intervened at least five times this year to defend the Hong Kong dollar, spending over $11 billion. Does a peg linking the Hong Kong dollar to the Chinese yuan, or a basket of currencies, make more sense? Could hedge funds attack the currency? Investors like George Soros and Bill Ackman have tried, and failed, to break Hong Kong's dollar peg. How many more times will the government need to intervene? Carlos Casanova, senior economist for Asia at Union Bancaire Privée, breaks down Hong Kong's currency regime and what's ahead. He joins John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva on the Asia Centric podcast.

Oliver White is a world-renowned fly fishing guide, lodge owner, entrepreneur, and conservationist whose career bridges wild rivers and Wall Street. He began his guiding journey in college after a skiing injury, quickly developing a reputation as a skilled and passionate angler. This passion led him from the rivers of North Carolina to international waters in Argentina and the Bahamas. Along the way, a chance encounter with hedge fund manager Bill Ackman opened the door to a brief but formative stint in finance, sharpening White's business acumen and laying the groundwork for his future as a fishing industry entrepreneur. In 2008, White channeled that experience into building Abaco Lodge in the Bahamas, followed by partnerships in other elite destinations like South Fork Lodge in Idaho, which he co-owns with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. His lodges have become known not only for their world-class fishing but also for their immersive guest experiences and commitment to sustainability. White continues to guide and host trips around the world, sharing his expertise with a growing community of anglers while advocating for the health of the ecosystems they explore. A dedicated conservationist, White co-founded Indifly, a nonprofit that empowers Indigenous communities through sustainable fly fishing tourism. The organization has helped transform remote villages like Rewa in Guyana into thriving ecotourism hubs, ensuring local control and environmental stewardship. In recognition of his contributions to angling, conservation, and community development, White was recently honored with the 2025 Heritage Award by the American Museum of Fly Fishing—the highest distinction the museum bestows. His life reflects a rare blend of adventure, entrepreneurship, and social impact.

Those include readily available clean water and ice, as well as access to “cool zones” and the right to take and extend breaks when they feel overheated. The contract further mandated UPS to install fans in the largely non-air-conditioned warehouses where packages are sorted and loaded, and in the front of vehicles. Delivery trucks have also been outfitted with heat exhaust shields and vents. UPS Teamsters, though, are still waiting on some of these historic protections. UPS is required to equip its fleet with at least 28,000 new air-conditioned delivery trucks by the time the current contract expires in 2028; toward that end, all new vans UPS purchases after January 1, 2024, are supposed to have air conditioning. As of last summer, CNN reported, it hadn't bought any. UPS Brand Management Representative Becca Hunnicut did not directly answer my questions about whether UPS has purchased any new delivery vehicles equipped with air conditioning since the beginning of 2024 and if any of its delivery trucks currently have air conditioning. She wrote over email that the company is “installing air conditioning in all new delivery vehicles we buy and adding them as quickly as possible,” adding that UPS does not “publicly share the number of vehicles we purchase” and that it is “prioritizing deployment in the hottest regions.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research shows MM DR84 percent of investors polled, who hail from North America, Europe (including the UK) and Asia, said that poor governance was the main driver of activist investor attention.Investors also largely (71 percent) favor activism targeting the board on governance and management change versus operational (10 percent), balance sheet (3 percent) or M&A activism (3 percent)MM: Tesla announces Nov. annual meeting under pressure from shareholders, but may still be skirting lawAssholiest of the Week (MM):Democracy73% of votes cast in alternative democracy were for directors in the US0.01% of directors up for a vote were voted out - incumbency rulesWe know governance in corporations isn't working, and it's the primary driver of activism: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research showsGovernance proponents were the only winners in the shareholder proposal space with an 18% win rateWe know money doesn't care nearly as much about performance as it cares about power status quo:Vote Gap - directors batting .333 or lower on TSR vs. average vote at the companyAverage vote gap was actually +1.3% - bottom directors outperformed average vote at the companiesWe know that only 22% of US directors have “merit”, but we know that more than 1 in 4 directors are connected to each other through other boards and non profits - including the CEOSo we should all fucking lose our minds when…New York's Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest - no more buying electionsJamie Dimon criticizes Zohran Mamdani as 'Marxist,' blasts Democrats' DEI push: 'Big hearts and little brain' - shut your fat mouthAdvertisersYour ads are now next to AI for middle school boysGrok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters”Grok's harmful outputs come at a time when advertisers have just begun returning to X, after X first sued advocacy groups publishing reports of hate speech on the platform, then sued advertiser groups who boycotted the platform allegedly partly due to those reports.

C dans l'air du 6 juin 2025 - Trump/ Musk : la guerre est déclaréeCette fois, le clash est total entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk. Après plusieurs jours de tensions, le président des États-Unis et l'homme le plus riche du monde ont réglé leurs comptes en public, jeudi 5 juin 2025, sur fond de désaccords concernant le mégaprojet budgétaire du président, ne retenant plus ni leurs coups, ni leurs messages sur leurs réseaux sociaux. "Fou", "ingrat", "hostile"… D'un côté comme de l'autre, les insultes ont fusé, tout comme les menaces, sous les yeux médusés du monde entier.À la fin du premier acte de ce duel, Donald Trump a menacé de supprimer les contrats qui lient le gouvernement aux sociétés d'Elon Musk devenu "fou", selon le président après une décision défavorable aux véhicules électriques. "Sans moi, Trump aurait perdu l'élection" en 2024 a répondu le milliardaire qui a copieusement financé la campagne du républicain. Décidé à "lâcher la très grosse bombe", Elon Musk a également affirmé sur X, sans apporter de preuves, que le nom du président des États-Unis se trouve "dans les dossiers [Jeffrey] Epstein", du nom du financier américain accusé de trafic sexuel de mineures, mort en détention en 2019, et que c'est "la vraie raison pour laquelle [ces dossiers] n'ont pas été rendus publics". Il a aussi affirmé qu'il mettait fin au programme de vaisseau spatial Dragon qui avait servi à récupérer les astronautes bloqués dans la station internationale en mars dernier.Cependant, après des appels publics à la désescalade, notamment de la part du milliardaire Bill Ackman, il a fait marche arrière et a exprimé sa volonté de collaborer pour résoudre la crise. De son côté, le président des États-Unis a minimisé sa dispute avec son ancien allié, assurant que ce n'est "pas très grave".Vraiment ? Noms d'oiseaux, menaces, accusations, les deux hommes ont étalé au grand jour leurs divergences. Quelle sera la suite de leur relation ? Elon Musk est-il devenu le premier opposant à Donald Trump ? Quelles pourraient être les conséquences de cette rupture sur l'économie mondiale ? Enfin jusqu'où ira la guerre commerciale entre la Chine et les Etats-Unis ? Pourquoi les terres rares, l'arme de la Chine est-elle tant redoutée par l'administration américaine ? Quel est déjà l'impact de la hausse des droits de douane aux États-Unis ?

Our show opens with a reminder that the Left has long adopted the concept of exhibiting the soft bigotry of low expectation. They have an entire rage wing of their party, dedicated to violence and anger whenever challenged. Harvard has major issues. The former manager of their morgue for their medical program plead guilty to selling body parts across state lines. One of the “star” professors who published multiple papers and studies on “dishonesty” has been caught lying about the data to bolster her own hypotheses. Her tenure has been stripped and she has been fired. This is all on top of the economic hits they are getting from the Trump administration. Long-time Harvard supporter, until just after October 7, 2023, Bill Ackman wrote a long essay detailing everything wrong with Harvard and he nails it. Even Mike Rowe weighs-in on the Ivy League as well as trade schools. Seattle's mayor blames “far-right rally” after left-wing activists attacked a Christian prayer service. Ahh...the party of joy and tolerance! Border Czar Tom Homan wonders why AOC hasn't done anything after they arrested Rep. McIver (D-NJ)? The mayor of Nashville, TN (D) may find himself in some deep trouble as the next Sanctuary City being targeted by ICE. We are still watching the biggest scandal in US History unfold regarding a four-year window where the duly elected President of the United States was not really calling the shots. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the FBI will be looking into the Dobbs leak, the cocaine found in the White House and the J6 pipe bomber. And, as part of this ever-growing scandal, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg just got in some hot water in an undercover video where they admit they knew Jill Biden's Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, was considered the person running the White House. Finally, we close with part of the acceptance speech of the new acting US Attorney to Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro. She says they are coming after the lawless and they are not planning to show any mercy. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In this second part from the Milken Global Institute, Jeff Selingo engages in a provocative conversation with investor and Harvard critic Bill Ackman. They discuss the challenges facing elite higher education today—from DEI rollbacks and government funding threats to what Ackman describes as Harvard's financial crisis and governance failures. Ackman argues that administrative bloat, viewpoint homogeneity, and an unsustainable business model have undermined top institutions, while suggesting Harvard's $53 billion endowment may be significantly overvalued. The discussion explores contentious issues in admissions fairness, including legacy preferences, and concludes with Ackman's vision for higher education's future, where competition from new models might force established universities to reform or risk irrelevance. Key Moments0:00 - Intro1:04 - Federal Funding as a Lever of Influence8:07 - Board Insulation at Harvard13:08 - Limiting Class Size14:25 - Fairness in Admissions18:27 - Where We Go From Here Connect with Michael Horn:Sign Up for the The Future of Education NewsletterWebsiteLinkedInX (Twitter)Threads Connect with Jeff Selingo:Sign Up for the Next NewsletterWebsiteX (Twitter)ThreadsLinkedIn Connect with Future U:TwitterYouTubeThreadsInstagramFacebookLinkedIn Submit a question and if we answer it on air we'll send you Future U. swag!Sign up for Future U. emails to get special updates and behind-the-scenes content.

Marco Sammon joins Ben and Dan to unpack his latest paper, ‘Index Rebalancing and Stock Market Composition', beginning with how Marco's work (co-written by John Shim) compares to the Nobel Prize-winner Bill Sharpe's paper, ‘Arithmetic of Active Management.' We investigate the missing links in Sharpe's logic before defining “the market” and ascertaining the main objectives of index funds. Then, we dive deeper into the mechanics of Marco's paper, index and market tracking errors, why delayed rebalancing is more beneficial than instant rebalancing, and the role of technology in the modern tracking error obsession. We also assess the passive-active spectrum of index funds in portfolio management and learn how investors should choose their optimal excess return.

Some of Donald Trump's most prominent billionaire backers have begun sounding the alarm on the tariffs that have roiled markets. JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned they could have lasting negative consequences and impact America's long-term economic alliances and the global economy.  Meanwhile, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who endorsed Donald Trump's run for president, warned the country was "heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter,” and said business leaders were losing confidence in Trump. Even Elon Musk has expressed reservations about whether the tariffs are all that advisable. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans' comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether maybe the tariffs are actually good if they're upsetting members of the billionaire class. Plus segments on Trump announcing direct nuclear talks with Iran, Trump and Netanyahu lying openly about Gaza, a top Russian official crediting Trump with averting World War III and GOP Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana slipping up and admitting he wants to cut Medicare. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Dennis Kucinich and Malcolm Fleschner. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
