TSMC, de grootste chipmaker van de wereld, komt met een wrange boodschap. Het chiptekort houdt nog lang aan. Volgens de ceo van TSMC kan het nog wel jaren duren voor het bedrijf aan de vraag kan voldoen. Dát nieuws en wat tegenvallende cijfers trekken allerlei techbedrijven omlaag. Broadcomm (dat een hogere groei verwacht dan Nvidia) wordt zelfs genadeloos afgedankt door beleggers. Komt er een correctie aan? We zoeken het deze aflevering uit. Komt Kevin Warsh ook voorbij. De man die dankzij president Trump de baas is geworden van de Fed, de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Die gaat diezelfde Trump flink teleurstellen, want hij gaat de rente niet verlagen. Dat blijkt uit het beige book. Hoor je ook wat er nog van AEX-bedrijf Universal Music Group terecht moet komen, nu grootaandeelhouder Bill Ackman eruit stapt. Hij wilde het overnemen, maar UMG wees het bod af. Waarna Ackman er dus maar helemaal mee kapt. Hoor je ook nog over: De overnameplannen van ING Waarom de ceo van ABN Amro AI inzet voor moeilijke vragen Hakenkruizen in fabrieken van Tesla Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets Are Everywhere 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.

Sinds 2017 ging het aandeel van AkzoNobel niet zo hard omhoog als nu. Akzo (dat midden in een fusie zit) is ineens overnamekandidaat. Een Japans- en Amerikaans bedrijf willen de verfgigant kopen. De directie wil niet, aandeelhouders lijken er juist wél zin in te hebben. En nog even over 2017: de laatste keer dat het aandeel AkzoNobel het zo goed deed, was toen het Amerikaanse PPG een bod deed. Tevergeefs, want de directie wil toen ook niet. We hebben het over die weigering: is dat wel slim? En wat zegt het dat het aandeel het wél goed doet op een (onzeker) bod, maar niet op de fusieplannen waar het al maandenlang aan sleutelt? Bij FlowTraders sleutelen ze ook aan de manier van werken. Tot onbegrip van de analisten van ING. Die geven een koopadvies en zijn somber over het aandeel. Het zorgt tot een heftige reactie voor het aandeel. Deze aflevering zoeken we uit of die reactie terecht is. Hebben we het ook uitgebreid over Elon Musk. De fusie tussen 'zijn' Tesla en SpaceX lijkt wel echt serieus. Er wordt al personeel uitgewisseld. Ook blijkt dat hij met zijn Starlink (het onderdeel van SpaceX dat satellieten levert) een enorme macht heeft binnen het Pentagon. En daar maken ze zich bij de regering zorgen over.

My north star for making sense of it is simple: incentives drive outcomes, and history leaves clues if we're willing to look at it honestly.From nuclear deterrence to sanctions to uneasy alliances, we walk through why the Iran nuclear question is so hard to “solve” and why other countries are watching closely. That sets up a forward-looking investing conversation about the industries and technologies that may grow if proliferation pressures increase, and how investors can think about risk without getting trapped in the day's headlines.Then we pivot to the economic knock-on effects you can measure: oil prices, energy insecurity, and the global push for energy independence. We talk about electric vehicles gaining traction well beyond the US, why China's dominance in EV and solar components matters, and we highlight renewable energy stocks discussed in Barron's, including Iberdrola, Enel, and Brookfield Renewable. We also hit the tape: the S&P 500's strong April, the “sell in May” debate, a low VIX and complacency risk, Rick Rieder's bullish AI productivity thesis, Bill Ackman's PSUS IPO drop, and Alphabet earnings with Google Cloud profitability improvements.Subscribe for more market and investing analysis, share this with a friend who follows geopolitics and stocks, and leave a review with the one theme you think will matter most next: AI, energy, or security.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Brent oil rallied to a four-year high after Axios reported that US President Trump will receive a briefing on new military options for action in Iran. The US and Iran have maintained their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with the conflict in the Middle East called the biggest supply shock in history by the International Energy Agency.2) Alphabet's Google is seeing a clear payoff from its AI spending, with solid growth at its cloud computing unit and a "meaningful acceleration in growth" driven by demand for its AI software and infrastructure. Meta Platforms is lagging behind, with its shares tumbling more than 6% after the company boosted full-year capital expenditures, and its consumer AI app being slower to take off. The four companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, are expected to spend as much as $725 billion in 2026, with a key question being whether that massive spending is providing tangible results.3) Shares of Bill Ackman's Pershing Square USA Ltd. plunged 18% in its debut after the combined initial public offering raised $5 billion. The $5 billion haul was the bare minimum to keep early investors locked into the deal, and fell short of the $25 billion that Pershing Square sought to bring in. Pershing Square USA deserves to trade at a premium to its net assets over time if the newly listed closed-end fund delivers the same outperformance as the hedge fund firm has in the past, Ackman said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We hadden wel tientallen verschillende titels kunnen verzinnen, want het was een beursdag met heel veel onderwerpen. Vier Amerikaanse techreuzen die met kwartaalcijfers kwamen, maar ook een hele trits aan AEX-bedrijven. Het was me het dagje wel. We hebben het deze aflevering onder meer over Alphabet en Meta. Waarom kan Alphabet dit jaar 190 miljard dollar uitgeven en volgend jaar zelfs 'significant' meer en daarvoor beloond worden door aandeelhouders? Helemaal omdat het aandeel Meta op dat nieuws gedumpt wordt. Verder praten we je bij over de cijfers van ING, Magnum, Unilever, AirFrance-KLM en Eli Lilly. Ook hoor je over de tactiek van Universal Music Group. Dat vindt het overnamebod van Bill Ackmann veel te weinig en kiest daarom de aanval: het gaat de eigen beurskoers opkopen. Maar dat gaat wel ten kosten van hun belang in Spotify. Jerome Powell mocht voor de laatste keer het rentebeleid van de Fed toelichten, maar toch neemt hij geen afscheid bij de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Hij gaat achter de schermen werken, waardoor hij (voor een laatste keer) president Trump een middelvinger geeft. Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van Markets Are Everywhere 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. 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. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML.

De gestolen patiëntgegevens bij softwareleverancier ChipSoft zijn volgens het bedrijf vernietigd en niet gepubliceerd, maar zekerheid daarover ontbreekt. Cybersecurity-expert Jort Kollerie waarschuwt dat criminelen kopieën kunnen achterhouden en later opnieuw kunnen afpersen, terwijl de lijst met getroffen organisaties blijft groeien. Zorginstellingen die afhankelijk zijn van ChipSoft-software blijven daardoor langdurig kwetsbaar. Bijna 20 jaar na het invoeren van de regeling dienstverlening aan huis, houdt bijna niemand zich eraan. Negen op de tien huishoudens betalen hun huishoudhulp niet door bij ziekte, terwijl ze dat wel moeten doen. Dat stelt socioloog David de Kort van de Universiteit Utrecht in een interview met BNR Nieuwsradio. Vooral vrouwen in een kwetsbare arbeidspositie lopen zo inkomen en bescherming mis. Beleggers bereiden zich voor op een drukke beursdag met een cijferlawine in de auto- en technologiesector, met resultaten van onder meer Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz en Ford. Ook Universal Music Group komt met cijfers, terwijl aandeelhouders letten op de overnameplannen van investeerder Bill Ackman. De dag eindigt met het rentebesluit van de Fed in de VS, dat naar verwachting ongewijzigd blijft voordat Kevin Warsh het stokje overneemt.

What if every fight over music technology throughout history has actually been the same fight, and we're just now facing a version of it we've never seen before? In this special episode, Dmitri shares a keynote he gave at the Algo Rhythms conference last month called "Is Music Making Up For Grabs?" Drawing on four hundred years of disruption in music, from the harpsichord to amplification, Dmitri traces the pattern of how every generation has fought over new tools and every generation has been wrong about what those tools would destroy. But this episode isn't just a history lesson. It's a live argument, complete with the Kalyuka, the WARBL, and few sounds you won't expect. Along the way, the stories of T-Pain and Blanco Brown show exactly where the pattern holds and where it finally breaks. Because the question Dmitri lands on is one no generation before us has had to answer. Not what counts as an instrument, but whether the creator is still human.   The news Selling a $3B Spotify stake, Michael Ovitz as Chairman of the Board, and a $100B+ company: Welcome to Bill Ackman's plan for Universal Music Group.

With the takeover offer estimated at $64.3bn, we unpack the M&A strategy underpinning the deal and why Pershing Square believes a US relisting could unlock significant value.From listing arbitrage to capital structure optimisation, we explore how shifting UMG's listing from Europe to the US could drive a meaningful valuation re-rating. We dive into the mechanics of the transaction, including free float dynamics, liquidity constraints, and why Ackman has strategically reduced his own stake to help enable the relisting.We also compare this approach to other major listing migrations and examine how differences in market structure, investor base, and risk appetite can materially impact pricing.

Countdown with Keith Olbermann
TRUMP IS BASICALLY PAYING RUSSIA TO TELL IRAN WHERE OUR TROOPS ARE - 3.9.26

Countdown with Keith Olbermann

SEASON 4 EPISODE 67: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is in essence paying to provide Iran with the location of our forces in the Middle East. Our ships, jets, troops. Trump has just waived part of the embargo against Russian oil. So Iran’s ally Russia can sell MORE oil to India to get more money. Thus Russia can spend that money to gather more information on where American forces are IN the war. So Russia can give that information TO IRAN, and reportedly is, AND nobody in the Trump Rogue Government is denying it. Trump is in effect paying Russia, to help Iran attack Americans in this war. And in case you had doubts over Russia's loyalty, its minister to Britain just repeated on television there that it is not neutral in this war, that it is siding with Iran and will help it., So, what’s that called again? When you’re fighting a war, and people in your government help a country that’s helping the country you’re fighting the war AGAINST? What’s that called again? Tree Surgery? Trea-Ting? Trea... Never mind the other problems: we a) have no business being there; b) we are not winning; c) we are going to be there for years or d) Trump is going to have to cut and run or e) Trump's setting us up for an Iranian revenge terror attack here. And just to follow up on the End-Of-The-World Rapture religious crap motivating dozens of US military commanders, one Senator has actually joined the hallelujah chorus: Senator Cramer of North Dakota says we are there because of a BIBLICAL COMMITMENT to Israel. Iran: it is far worse than you think. B-Block (38:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: It's a full scale pie fight over in Fascist Media. Megyn Kelly, Bill Ackman, Nepobaby Tucker Carlson, Grand-Nepobaby Buckley Carlson, and others all attacking each other - it's delightful. Then there's US Weekly's disastrous post about the passing of a celebrity-adjacent figure. And if you haven't heard this you won't believe it. They've managed to position the "White House" sign perfectly behind Karoline Leavitt in just the perfect place so when she stands all the way to her left, it reads behind her... Well, no, I'm going to make you listen to find out. C-Block (49:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I told somebody this story the other day so now I'll tell you. If you can envision me, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Lester Holt, and Jesse Ventura inside an MSNBC men's room talking about inches - this story is for you. Happily it was about our new president and how he was the tallest man any of us had ever met who was clearly lying about his own height. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
