Today is the day SpaceX begins trading on public markets after raising around $75 billion in one of the largest listings on record, valuing the company at nearly $1.8 trillion. Broader markets are also edging higher, with investors weighing whether enthusiasm around SpaceX is part of a wider surge linked to major AI-related listings still to come.There is also growing focus on the personal implications of the listing. The scale of the valuation raises the possibility of Elon Musk entering the trillion-dollar club, prompting questions about what that means in practice Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: David Cann

Kieran Osborne, CIO at Mission Wealth, breaks down a volatile market backdrop, pointing to resilient U.S. labor and consumer trends alongside persistent inflation risks. He says the Fed is likely on hold despite rate hike expectations, while noting healthier market breadth as valuations compress beyond mega-cap tech. Osborne also highlights private equity and alternative assets as potential return drivers over public equities' projected single-digit growth.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Most people assume leadership gets easier with experience. Dave Hanney, CEO of Alpkit, would probably tell you the opposite. The problems change. The context changes. The market changes. And every time you think you've found the playbook, something comes along and proves it doesn't exist. Dave has spent more than two decades building businesses in the outdoor industry. He helped scale GO Outdoors from three stores to forty, walked away during what he describes as a purple patch in his career, and set out to find a path of his own. That journey eventually led him to Alpkit, where the highs have been incredible, and the lows have been just as real. What stood out to me in this conversation wasn't the growth stories. It was how Dave thinks about uncertainty. He talks openly about making hard decisions when there isn't an obvious answer, why leadership is a craft rather than a title, and why the failures that stay with him have very little to do with spreadsheets, strategy, or performance metrics. They are the moments when he feels he let people down. We also get into why he believes too many businesses become disconnected from the customers they serve, why customer insight should travel all the way back to the design table, and why some of the biggest opportunities in the outdoor industry come from simply paying attention to how people actually spend time outside. There is a humility in Dave's approach that I found refreshing. The willingness to admit he didn't always know the answer. The recognition that every phase of leadership demands something different. And the belief that when things get difficult, you have to separate business failure from personal failure. If you're leading a team, building a business, or trying to figure out your next move, there's a lot in this one. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00:] Introduction [00:06:01] Scaling GO Outdoors from 3 stores to 40 [00:07:39] Why leadership is a craft, not a trait [00:10:40] The accountability that comes with board-level leadership [00:15:28] Why you need to throw your hat in the ring [00:18:34] Risk-taking, family, and having a Plan B [00:20:19] How Alpkit started with a phone call [00:24:01] Seeing opportunities others overlooked [00:27:50] Why observation beats assumptions [00:31:01] Challenging the outdoor industry's seasonal model [00:36:21] Building community beyond products [00:40:49] Making hard decisions when the path isn't clear [00:44:56] Why leadership failures are usually people failures [00:47:19] What the outdoor industry is getting right and wrong [00:52:01] Advice for founders and future leaders KEY TAKEAWAYS Leadership changes with context. What works in growth often fails in crisis. Functional expertise gets you promoted. Broader perspective is what helps you lead. Most career opportunities come from opening doors yourself. The hardest leadership decisions are rarely commercial. They are human. Business failure and personal failure are not the same thing. Every company has its own context. Copying someone else's playbook rarely works. The strongest brands stay close to their customers and the places they serve. Innovation starts with observation, not assumptions. When uncertainty disappears, difficult decisions often become easier. Caring for customers is still one of the most durable business strategies there is. If this episode resonates with you, subscribe to the show, share it with someone building a business or leading a team, and leave a review so more people in the outdoor industry can find it. Our Host   Dan Trapp is the Founder of Sports+Outdoor Search recruitment business and host of the Sports+Outdoor Mentors podcast.  With 30 years of leadership experience in the sports and outdoor industry, he has built and led global teams and, more recently, developed a strong reputation for helping brands and retailers source, assess, attract and retain exceptional leadership talent.  Having lived and worked in the UK, Switzerland, France, and Finland, for businesses owned by stakeholders from North America, Europe, and Asia, Dan brings a global lens to every conversation. On the podcast, he connects with industry leaders to share the real lessons, hard-won insights, and career advice shaping the future of sports and outdoor.  When he's not working, you'll usually find him having fun on the trail, water or snow with his family.

Today, putting Friday's big market sell-off in perspective as an overdue development after the huge recent ramp in high momentum stocks. Broader risk sentiment remains fairly calm, though there is a bit of stress from geopolitics and higher oil prices, as well as on crypto and from a stronger US dollar and higher US treasury yields.

China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has released a revised draft regulation on the management of the housing provident fund, in a bid to better meet homebuyers' diverse housing needs.

Earlier this year, we took the show on the road for our first episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast recorded live in London. We sat down in front of an audience with three guests to understand the direction of travel for sustainability, climate and the energy transition: What has changed in 2026, where are the challenges and where are the opportunities?    Today, we're bringing you highlights from that April 29 event. Sonja Gibbs, who is Managing Director of Global Markets and Policy at the Institute of International Finance (IIF), explains how sustainability is evolving into a broader conversation about business resilience that includes topics as wide-ranging as climate adaptation, innovation, infrastructure and energy security.    The IIF is a global network of financial institutions, and Sonja says that for many members, sustainability is "more integrated across business lines than so much of a separate silo."  The Iran war is contributing to this shift by bringing issues of energy security and energy affordability to the fore. "The Middle East conflict just highlights how fragile our global energy system is," Sonja tells us. "What it's leading to is really hard questions about what is the optimal energy mix in different countries and different regions."  Guest Steve Howard calls this "the next phase of the energy transition," in which renewables serve as a platform for business model innovation.    Steve is Vice Chairman of Sustainability at Singapore-based Temasek, a global investment firm with a net portfolio value of US$324 billion as of March 2025. He says that even while some business and government leaders shift attention toward energy security and affordability, they can't lose sight of the opportunities in sustainability.  "We know that tackling climate change gives us good economic growth," Steve says. "We also know an inclusive economy where you bring people out of poverty creates the best, widest economic growth. We all have to invest into that future."  And to understand the landscape for standards and reporting amid this geopolitical conflict and rising climate risks, we speak with Richard Barker, a member of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Richard explains how the ISSB is focusing on adoption and implementation of its existing standards while setting new standards at a pace that makes sense for markets.   "In order to have a standard that works in a capital market context, it needs to be global and it needs to be mandatory," Richard says. At the same time, he says, "It's really important for us in this evolving world of sustainability reporting that we don't go faster than the market."

DESCRIPTION A stunning congressional primary victory in New Jersey is igniting controversy nationwide. Tara examines the background of Democratic nominee Adam Hominoye, his past associations with figures tied to terrorism investigations, and why critics believe the story represents a major shift in American politics. The show also explores broader concerns about national security, immigration enforcement, and the direction of the Democratic Party. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show focused on the Democratic primary victory of Adam Hominoye in New Jersey and the growing controversy surrounding his past associations during the 1990s. Tara examined reports connecting Hominoye to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, commonly known as the "Blind Sheikh," who was convicted on terrorism-related charges connected to multiple plots and attacks in the United States. According to information discussed during the show, Hominoye served as a translator for Rahman, traveled with him, and later testified as a defense witness during legal proceedings. The conversation also explored Hominoye's reported work with the Benevolence International Foundation, an organization later designated by U.S. authorities as having ties to terrorist financing networks. Tara argued that such associations would have been politically disqualifying in previous eras and questioned why the story has not generated broader national scrutiny. The show then shifted toward Hominoye's policy positions, including reported support for dismantling federal immigration enforcement agencies, restructuring Homeland Security, and dramatically reducing military spending. Tara argued that these proposals reflect a growing ideological shift within portions of the Democratic Party. Throughout the discussion, Tara framed the story as part of a larger debate about national security, border enforcement, political extremism, and the standards candidates are held to when seeking public office. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adam Hominoye secured a Democratic congressional primary victory in New Jersey. Questions continue to surround his past associations with Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman. The discussion examined his reported ties to the Benevolence International Foundation. Tara argued that the controversy deserves greater national attention. The show explored immigration, military, and Homeland Security policy debates. Broader concerns were raised about political extremism and candidate vetting. QUOTE OF THE DAY "Some days, I just can't believe what we're watching happen in American politics." SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS A Controversial Primary Victory Tara detailed the background of New Jersey's Democratic congressional nominee and why critics view his history as deeply concerning. The Blind Sheikh Connection The discussion focused on reported interactions with Omar Abdel Rahman and testimony provided during legal proceedings. Terror Financing Allegations Attention turned to the Benevolence International Foundation and its later designation by U.S. authorities. National Security Questions The conversation expanded into concerns about terrorism, border security, and military readiness. The Political Shift Tara argued that the acceptance of controversial candidates reflects broader changes within American politics. SOCIAL MEDIA POST

"Broader change requires influencing policy and systems to reach thousands." This conviction sits at the heart of Claton Lewis's career. As Assistant Director for Career Readiness at Morgan State University, Claton traces a journey from Trinidad and Tobago through entrepreneurship and into higher education, shaped by family legacy and key mentors who modeled what intentional, community-driven teaching looks like. He speaks candidly about the systemic and structural challenges Black educators face and why real transformation demands reshaping the systems that govern what students learn, how they're valued, and what futures they can imagine."The state of Black education is ultimately a reflection of the quality of education in Black homes." With this grounding belief, Claton offers a perspective that is both clear-eyed about historical injustice and filled with genuine hope. He highlights the resilience and achievements of Black students and educators at HBCUs, the growing opportunity created by technology and AI, and the irreplaceable role of family and community as a student's first educators. Claton also opens up about sustaining joy in emotionally demanding work through intentional boundaries, positive relationships, and centering student strengths. Claton ends with a reflection on legacy, the power of mentorship, and a deep gratitude for the opportunity to amplify Black excellence and hope within the community.

Lower prices are unlocking the next leg of GLP-1 growth Several years ago, the bullish case for GLP-1 penetration hinged on lower pricing and the availability of oral options-both of these have materialized over the past 18 months. Yet we remain early in the oral GLP-1 ramp, and pricing continues to adjust downward, suggesting ample runway for unit growth in these weight-loss therapies. Peter Galbo discusses the impact on food and beverage we've observed at today's ~10% penetration levels and what may lie ahead, especially as Jason Gerberry outlines where penetration could ultimately land and the improvements expected in side-effect profiles. We also examine intensifying competition within the GLP-1 landscape, as well as the packaged food and beverage segments most at risk-or best positioned to benefit-alongside areas where potential upside may be overstated   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Broadcom heads into an earnings report after a four-day rally that added about $280 billion to its market value. The company supplies high-speed networking chips for AI data centers and designs custom silicon for large customers, and previously forecast roughly $11 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2024. Broadcom closed its $69 billion purchase of VMware in November 2023 and has shifted VMware offerings to subscriptions, drawing attention to renewals and adoption. Prior guidance in December 2023 called for about $50 billion in fiscal 2024 revenue and around $30 billion in adjusted EBITDA, and a 10-for-1 stock split in July 2024 increased liquidity. Investors will watch order visibility, backlog, segment mix, margins, and comments from CEO Hock Tan and CFO Kirsten Spears on hyperscaler demand and software retention. Broader implications include AI deployment timelines, vendor selection, and total cost of ownership for hybrid infrastructure as VMware pricing evolves.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

With ranked-choice voting and Gov. Janet Mills still on the ballot, Democrats have a real off-ramp — but will they take it?We debate the big questions:— Do voters actually care about character anymore?— Is “authenticity” worth the risk in a must-win Senate race?— Should Democrats lower standards to match the other side, or hold the line?— Broader implications for the party in the Trump era.— Plus: quick hits on California, Iowa, and Trump's foreign policy frustrations.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

South Carolina politics just turned into a high-stakes family drama with national implications—endorsements, backroom deals, and accusations of a political machine tightening its grip on the governor's race. Meanwhile, the conversation explodes outward into global conflict, from Iran to Israel, and a broader debate about power, ideology, and influence in America.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner of Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Impact of Tennessee Hemp Bill, Discussion of Polypharmacy & Deprescribing  with Dr. Curt Dearing [0:00:00] Ed's Media & Product Updates Preview of main topics: Upcoming Tennessee hemp bill and its negative impact on people using hemp for anxiety, pain, and insomnia. Dr. Curt Deering will discuss polypharmacy and deprescribing. Ed's recent appearances on multiple TV outlets (Fox Phoenix & LA, Be Well NY, CBS Detroit). Discussion of testing the AquaTru water filtration system at home as a potential recommendation (microplastics, partial fluoride removal). Mention that peptides are a growing topic; reference to Noel Lawson as go‑to for prescribed peptides [0:10:42]  Tennessee Hemp Bill & Hemp Industry Impact Introduces guest: Dwayne Madden, owner of Hemp House, as a respected local expert. As of July 1 in Tennessee: All Delta‑8 products will no longer be available for in‑state sale. Many THCA products and all vape products will be gone from shops. CBD and Delta‑9 edibles will have caps: Max 15 mg per serving. Max 300 mg per package. Dwayne notes: Heavy users (e.g., serious pain/conditions) will need to consume many servings to reach effective doses. Law doesn't limit how many packages a person can buy, so total milligrams aren't truly stopped—just made inconvenient. Dwayne explains regulatory control moved: From Tennessee Department of Agriculture (2017–2023) To the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) Board. Key impacts: All products must now go through distributors, similar to alcohol. Distributors collect taxes and sit between producers and retailers. Small operators like Dwayne cannot qualify for distributor licenses , so he must pay a distributor to move product from his own lab to his own stores. Ed frames this as “follow the money trail” and a way to crush competition. In Tennessee after July 1: No in‑state online hemp sales. Banned products (Delta‑8, etc.) not criminalized for possession or use, only for sale. Potential Workaround: Consumers can order from out‑of‑state websites (e.g., North Carolina), receive products in Tennessee Money leaves the local economy, hurting Tennessee businesses. Ed and Dwayne suggest alcohol industry is likely threatened because many people are reducing alcohol use by using hemp products instead  Dwayne notes: Alcohol sales have declined while hemp sales rose. Regulators appear to be protecting alcohol interests via hemp restrictions. [0:17:41] Federal Regulations & State Opt‑Outs Upcoming federal regulations in November: Expected to be similarly “ugly and nasty” for hemp nationwide. States will have an option to opt out of these federal hemp rules. Tennessee's stance: Governor has stated Tennessee will NOT opt out, so federal restrictions will apply here. Other states (e.g., North Carolina) might opt out, keeping their markets more open. Industry response: Advocacy groups Tennessee Growers Coalition and Hemp Law Group monitor legislation and organize pushback. Some supportive legislators exist, but political drive to reverse current law is limited. Dwayne and Ed distinguish: Reasonable regulation (ID checks, lab tests, dosage clarity, education) vs. A “wipeout/control/takeover” by shifting to ABC and forcing distributor reliance. Dwayne: Says credible local shops (Hemp House, Chattanooga peers like BeeGrity, Snapdragon, etc.) already follow high standards. States this law is not about safety but about control and revenue capture, and will hurt small farmers and businesses. [0:25:55] What Consumers Should Do Before Deadline Practical advice: Stock up now on products that will disappear: Delta‑8 gummies (popular for sleep, anxiety, pain). Other higher‑milligram THC/CBD edibles. Flower and vapes. Hemp House is running clearance sales to move remaining inventory. Dosing notes: Many people do well with ½ Delta‑8 gummy for sleep/anxiety/pain. Some need more or less; staff helps tailor doses for goals. Hemp House will close its North Shore/Tremont Street flagship store by July 1 due to expected sales hit. Remaining Hemp House locations: Ringgold Road (East Ridge) near Spring Creek. Ooltewah by Food City on Lee Highway. Hixson Pike near Workout Anytime and Publix. Broader impact: Other Chattanooga hemp businesses have large staffs (some near 100 employees) and will be heavily affected. The industry is described as grassroots, farmer‑driven, and passionately quality‑focused. [0:33:20] Polypharmacy & Deprescribing with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed introduces Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist at Nutrition World (30+ years experience). Curt's background: Formerly fully conventional pharmacist; later “veil lifted” as he discovered green pharmacy (nutritional & botanical alternatives). Current mission: Community outreach to medical schools and residency programs Teach about nutritional and natural alternatives not covered in standard curriculums. Traditional training provides almost zero meaningful nutrition or green pharmacy education. Polypharmacy: use of 5 or more prescription medications. Curt notes: Majority of Americans 65+ meet this definition. Average American receives ~17 prescriptions per year (not all concurrent). Consequences: Increased ER visits due to drug side effects. Estimated ~250,000 deaths/year from drug‑induced causes. Curt's role: Specializes in deprescribing: safely reducing or eliminating unnecessary pharmaceuticals and replacing them with effective natural options when possible.  How Curt Works with Patients & Their Doctors Curt provides coaching, not independent prescribing. Creates detailed packets (10–18+ pages) explaining: Why certain drugs may no longer be needed. Evidence for natural alternatives (e.g., supplements, lifestyle changes). Encourages clients to take the packet to their doctor and have an informed discussion. Patients often fear how their doctors will react to attempts to deprescribe. Green Pharmacy Approach (as described by Dr. Curt Dearing) Using nutritional, botanical, and lifestyle-based therapies either instead of or alongside pharmaceuticals. Focusing on root causes and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms, not just pushing lab numbers in a certain direction. Why polypharmacy is a problem: Increases side effects, drug–drug interactions, and emergency room visits. Contributes to cognitive decline, gut problems, and overall worse health. Often leads to the “prescribing cascade”: Drug A causes side effects → a new drug is added for those side effects → more side effects → more drugs, and so on. How Dr. Curt Dearing uses green pharmacy to reduce polypharmacy: Curt creates a comprehensive list of all medications and supplements. Asks: “Why was this started?” and “Is it still needed?” Looks for: Drugs with no clear current indication. Drugs where a natural option can give similar or better benefit with fewer risks. Drugs that can be safely tapered or sometimes stopped outright (always in coordination with the prescriber). Identifies which meds are likely causing the most harm or least benefit. Some drugs require slow, structured tapering (e.g., sleep meds, acid blockers). Others may be candidates for direct discontinuation after medical agreement. Replacing or supporting with natural alternatives ( please note this is not medical advice, this is a discussion of personal examples in collaboration with medical oversight) Cholesterol: Instead of (or in place of some) statin use, Curt uses berberine and bergamot (Berbercol). In Ed's brother's case, his cholesterol numbers improved on green-pharmacy options, matching or exceeding statin outcomes without the same side‑effect burden. Pain & inflammation: Uses curcumin (for most people), and Boswellia when curcumin isn't enough. Gut/acid issues: Long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole) is flagged as harmful to gut microbiome and nutrient absorption. Curt builds step-down plans (tapering PPIs) while supporting the gut with natural measures instead of leaving people on a PPI for 30 years. Focus on side benefits, not side effects. Green pharmacy interventions are chosen because they: Address root causes (e.g., metabolic health, inflammation, gut integrity). Often have multiple positive effects (e.g., berberine helping blood sugar and lipids; curcumin helping joints and systemic inflammation). The aim is fewer total drugs, fewer side effects, better overall function. Clients are encouraged to work with their doctor, so deprescribing is: Planned, Monitored, and Integrated with their existing care. Curt and Ed both acknowledge there are situations where “rescue medicine” is necessary: Severe pain where an opioid is appropriate. Acute crises where drugs are needed as a bandage. The green pharmacy view: Use those drugs as short‑term tools, Then remove or reduce them once the immediate crisis passes, While implementing natural strategies to decrease the need for long‑term prescriptions. [0:56:26] Final Segment  At‑home HPV testing for cervical cancer Ed explains HPV is a major driver of cervical cancer Historically, women had to schedule an in‑office visit for cervical screening, which creates barriers (cost, fear, time, discomfort, lack of insurance). He notes there is now an option for at‑home HPV testing for cervical screening. Intended to increase access for women who aren't getting regular screening. Ed strongly approves of this as a valuable preventive tool and encourages women who haven't been tested to consider it. Ed cites new data showing: Microplastics are found in 100% of human stool samples tested in one study. Higher levels of microplastics are now being linked to gallstones. Broader concerns: Everyday plastic exposure (especially with food and drink) means these particles can: Interact with cells, Drive inflammation, Contribute to premature cellular aging and reduced energy. Practical countermeasures he recommends: Avoid heating food in plastic or placing hot food into plastic containers/wrap (e.g., Saran wrap, plastic take‑out containers). Filter drinking water to remove microplastics (he's trialing the AquaTru system at home, which he says removes 100% of microplastics and much of the fluoride). Improve indoor air quality to reduce airborne microplastic exposure. Ed highlights a serious, long‑term job opening at Nutrition World: Not a summer or short‑term job. Best for someone philosophically aligned with healthy eating and the “green pharmacy” approach.

US inflation in April reached its highest level in three years, driven in part by the war in Iran. The volume of oil flows affected by the conflict is three times larger than the disruption caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, yet many firms – especially in the US – don't seem too concerned. According to our analysts, they should be.

In this episode of Investments Unplugged, host Kevin Headland is joined by Alex Richard, Senior Portfolio Manager, Multi-Asset Solutions, to discuss Manulife's newly launched “all-in-one” ETF strategies—against a backdrop where portfolio diversification has reclaimed attention, following a period in which many investors were tempted to chase equity returns. Kevin and Alex describe what makes these portfolios different from traditional “set-it-and-forget-it” asset-allocation ETFs, including: An active, flexible allocation process grounded in regularly updated capital market assumptions; Broader, deeper underlying portfolio diversification (including alternative investments) than many ETFs offer; A robust strategy implementation toolkit that can include select third-party ETFs and futures contracts.  They also share their views on portfolio positioning across equities and fixed income in today's market environment, as well as what role diversifying exposures (like global infrastructure and global credit) can play in a long-term investment strategy.     Key topics & insights 1. Why defense and diversification are back in focus After an extended run of strong equity performance, it's tempting for many investors to de-emphasize portfolio defense and to overemphasize return-chasing. The episode reinforces the notion of strategic diversification being essential to long-term portfolio outcomes, especially amid bouts of macro and market volatility. 2. What are Manulife's new “all-in-one” ETF portfolios? There are three different ETF strategies, each designed to fit a distinct investor risk profile—Manulife Conservative ETF Portfolio, Manulife Balanced ETF Portfolio, and Manulife Growth ETF Portfolio. The target equity/fixed-income portfolio allocations are roughly 60% bonds/40% stocks (conservative), 60% stocks/40% bonds (balanced), and 80% stocks/20% bonds (growth). However, these strategies are designed to go beyond simple equity/fixed-income splits by diversifying across global regions, market caps, investment styles, and degrees of active management. 3. Active at the core, built to adapt, TCR-ready Rather than managing the portfolios to static portfolio targets, the team can deviate from baseline equity/fixed-income allocations and adjust underlying exposures as market conditions warrant. Portfolio decisions are informed by a capital markets assumptions process, conducted quarterly, that covers expected levels of investment risk/return/correlation across 100+ asset classes. “Total-cost reporting (TCR) ready” is positioned as a relevant feature for Canadian advisors and investors focused on total-cost reporting. 4. Broader, deeper portfolio diversification Depending on the particular portfolio, the team can access close to (or upwards of) ~15 asset classes, including alternatives—for stepped-up portfolio diversification versus what many competing ETFs can offer. This broader mandate and flexibility allows for both “offensive” (return-seeking) and “defensive” (risk-managing) portfolio allocations, designed to pursue more consistent investor outcomes over time. 5. Implementation: Manulife ETFs + third-party ETFs + futures The portfolios are not limited to investing only in Manulife ETFs; third-party ETFs may also be used to gain portfolio exposures not available on Manulife's platform. Examples of such “off-platform” portfolio exposures include global listed infrastructure, dedicated high-yield bonds, and emerging-market debt. In addition, where appropriate, the strategies may leverage futures contracts as a means of efficiently adjusting portfolio exposures. 6. Market views and portfolio positioning themes Looking ahead, the discussion highlighted a potentially compressed range of expected market outcomes across core fixed-income and core equity portfolio buckets. In fixed income, investors might favor shorter-duration exposures (less interest-rate risk) and global bonds (outside North America) for potentially more attractive yield opportunities. Judiciously taking some credit risk may make sense in cases where investors are likely to be adequately compensated, such as select high-yield and emerging-market debt. ·   Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors Reassess how diversified your portfolio really is: A portfolio might appear to be more diversified than it really is (with a mix of stocks and bonds); consider additional layers of global and asset-class diversification. Don't assume “conservative” means all bonds: Understand the portfolio's actual target allocations and how much flexibility the manager may have to adjust or move around those allocations as needed when markets shift. In uncertain markets, prioritize portfolio resilience: Long-term investors may be well served by a resilient, diversified portfolio strategy focused on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns while managing volatility and downside risks. Consider the role of diversifiers beyond traditional stocks/bonds: If suitable for your risk profile, non-traditional asset exposures like global infrastructure and select credit sleeves may help provide enhanced portfolio diversification. Pay attention to duration risk in fixed income: If interest-rate volatility remains a concern, shorter-duration fixed-income positioning may better align with capital preservation goals than longer-duration bonds.   Links & Resources Listen to the episode:Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments:Manulife IM Canada Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.

1. Power of Trump’s Endorsement Donald Trump’s political endorsements strongly influence Republican primaries. Multiple examples are cited: Indiana: Lawmakers who opposed Trump-backed redistricting lost primaries. Louisiana: Senator Bill Cassidy lost after Trump opposed him (linked to impeachment vote). Kentucky: Rep. Thomas Massie lost after Trump backed a challenger. Texas: Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton is expected to significantly shape the race. 2. Party Loyalty and Political Consequences Trump favors candidates loyal to his agenda. Politicians who consistently oppose him are portrayed as: Weakening party goals Facing electoral backlash There is an implication that internal GOP dissent is being reduced through these outcomes. 3. Impact on Senate Dynamics Short-term consequence: Some Republicans who lose or retire may become less cooperative (“pissed”), complicating votes. Long-term outlook: Trump could gain greater control over the Senate with more aligned members. 4. Potential DOJ Indictment of Raúl Castro The DOJ may indict Cuban leader Raúl Castro. Possible implications: Could mirror actions against Nicolás Maduro. May increase pressure on the Cuban regime. Broader narrative: Suggests a possible geopolitical shift in Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. 5. Cuba Situation Cuba is: Facing severe economic crisis (fuel shortages, blackouts). U.S. pressure could lead to collapse of the communist regime. Vision: A free-market, democratic Cuba with strong U.S. ties. 6. Debate on Racial Gerrymandering A Senate Judiciary hearing: Republicans argue race-based districting is unconstitutional. Democrats are criticized for defending it. Key claims made: Democrats historically supported racist policies (poll taxes, Jim Crow). Gerrymandering is portrayed as more heavily used by Democrats. Counter-dynamic: Heated exchange shows deep partisan conflict on race and representation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

George Noble, CIO of Noble Capital Advisors, returns to review his February predictions on bonds, energy, and the AI trade, warning that the margin of safety is particularly small right now as there's no room for error with stocks highly valued, companies over-earning, and policymakers unable to ease on either fiscal or monetary fronts. He explains bond vigilantes are awakening as yields hit 30-year highs in Japan and 20-year highs in Europe, predicts the Fed cutting rates against surging inflation will backfire spectacularly, and reveals forward oil contracts are finally rising as the market believes this situation won't pass quickly. Noble declares we're in the "golden age for stock picking" after active managers got killed by ETFs for years, warns the consumer is already in recession with stocks like Home Depot, Lowe's, McDonald's, and Lululemon making multi-year relative lows, and explains his long resources/short consumer-tech spread has generated 10% returns in six weeks. He argues many stocks are in a bubble not because of high PEs but because of unsustainable margins (using shipping stocks as an analogy), reveals consumer ETFs are actually 40% Mag 7, confirms his "death of financialization" thesis as bond markets discipline politicians, and explains why Kevin Warsh is stuck between a rock and hard place with limited policy tools as the buy-the-dip mentality dies.Links: George Noble's Best Income Ideas Online Summit: https://noble-capevents.com/X: https://x.com/gnoble79Substack: https://substack.com/@georgenobleTimestamps: 0:00 Introduction - Big picture macro update since February0:40 Reviewing previous predictions - Energy, bonds, AI trade3:32 Margin of safety particularly small right now5:30 Forward curve moving up - Market believing oil situation won't pass quickly6:02 Rising oil prices and bond yields - Not positive for risk assets8:40 Tech leadership unsustainable - Tremendous blow off top11:00 Buying semis on 8x book historically not a good idea12:26 Equal weight S&P underperforming - Broader market not doing well14:21 Long resources, short consumer and tech - 10% return spread17:03 Bond market move confirming death of financialization thesis19:52 Fed cutting rates against surging inflation and exploding deficits will backfire21:15 Bond market vigilantes being awakened23:38 Japan as canary in coal mine on debt problem25:33 Gold miners outstanding right now - Out of favor27:04 Regime shift happening - 60-40 model is dead29:36 Fed is not in control - They follow the market32:16 This is the golden age for stock picking34:21 AI trade - Biggest misallocation of capital in history of the world36:44 Many stocks in a bubble - Margins are the problem, not PEs38:37 Shipping stocks example - Bubble in earnings, not valuation40:20 Consumer is in recession42:06 Inflation permeating - Gold to energy to food43:28 Rates won't matter until they matter - Temperature analogy45:51 Kevin Warsh stuck between rock and hard place46:38 Margin of safety explained - Seth Klarman's wisdom50:11 Death of buy the dip mentality51:27 ETFs are not the answer - Do you know what's in your ETF?52:53 Golden age of stock picking - Active managers killing it now54:41 Shorting is a bad business - Just avoid garbage stocks56:50 Best Income Ideas Conference - May 20th59:05 Closing thoughts

US equity futures are modestly lower, Asian markets are broadly weaker, led by sharp declines in South Korea, while European equities are also lower. Markets were supported by continued AI-driven momentum, with strength in semis, networking, and select tech names offsetting mixed performance across big tech and weakness in memory stocks. Broader sentiment remained constructive with major indices extending to fresh highs, though underlying concerns persist around narrow market breadth and elevated positioning. Rates remain a key overhang after this week's hotter inflation signals, while limited incremental progress from US-China discussions and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty continue to cap upside.

Donald Trump's Beijing summit focuses on trade and Taiwan arms sales. Grant Newsham warns that relaxing advanced chip exports would provide China a dangerous advantage in AI warfare and broader geopolitical competition. (5/16)1941

US equity futures are modestly higher, Asian markets are mixed, while European equities are broadly higher. Markets were supported by continued strength in technology, particularly semis and mega-cap names, with AI-driven capex demand remaining the dominant theme. Broader sentiment was also helped by expectations for an extension of the US-China trade truce with Chinese purchases of agricultural, energy products and aircraft on the cards following constructive early signals from the Trump-Xi summit. However, underlying breadth remained weaker, and inflation pressures stayed in focus after a stronger-than-expected PPI print, reinforcing expectations that policy will remain restrictive for longer despite resilience in growth and relatively stable bond market conditions.Companied mentioned: Microsoft, Nvidia, eBay, GameStop

From judicial reform battles at home to rising geopolitical tension abroad, today's headlines point to one theme: power struggles everywhere. DESCRIPTION On today's AmperWave Daily, multiple storylines collide across law, politics, and global security. At home, fierce debate continues over judicial authority, redistricting rulings, and whether proposed reforms could reshape the structure of U.S. courts and election maps. Supporters frame it as correcting legal imbalance. Critics warn it risks destabilizing institutional norms. Overseas, a high-stakes diplomatic and economic moment unfolds as Donald Trump travels with senior officials including Marco Rubio, amid renewed tensions with China and the Chinese Communist Party. Business leaders, including Elon Musk, are also tied into broader economic discussions involving trade, manufacturing, and strategic supply chains. Meanwhile, geopolitical concerns intensify around Iran-related security issues, regional intermediaries, and accusations involving influence networks stretching across Pakistan, the Middle East, and Asia—fueling debate over U.S. military posture and diplomatic strategy.

The Pulitzer Prizes, administered by Columbia University, stand as the gold standard for American journalism, literature, and arts. A win launches careers, boosts sales, and cements legacies. Yet this year's Illustrated Reporting and Commentary category—formerly Editorial Cartoons—faces serious questions about fairness. Finalist Peter Kuper appears syndicated by PoliticalCartoons.com, owned by Daryl Cagle. Cagle's daughter Susie Cagle serves on the five-person jury. Industry rules demand recusal for any appearance of conflict of interest, especially when a syndicate boss's family member judges entries from dozens of her father's clients. Columbia stays silent. Jurors refuse comment. No answers emerge despite direct inquiries. This controversy hits at a time when public trust in media sits at a dismal 8%. With journalism hemorrhaging jobs and facing accusations of bias, favoritism, and sloppy process, many wonder if the institution anointing “the best” lives up to its own standards. Broader issues swirl too: category expansion diluting editorial cartooning, past complaints of ignored entries, and declining faith in the system. Ted Rall and Scott Stantis cut through the noise with sharp analysis on this high-stakes drama.Support the showThe DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis. Twitter/X: @scottstantis and @tedrallWeb: Rall.com

Mopreme Shakur, acting as administrator of the estate of Mutulu Shakur, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 28, 2026, naming Duane "Keffe D" Davis and John Does 1 through 100 as defendants in connection with the September 7, 1996, murder of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The complaint alleges a conspiracy to murder Tupac that extended beyond the individuals present in the white Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired near the MGM Grand. Davis — an alleged member of the South Side Compton Crips — is the only individual ever criminally charged in the case. He was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on September 29, 2023, for first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon with intent to promote a criminal street gang. He has pled not guilty. His criminal trial is scheduled for August 10, 2026. The civil complaint specifically cites grand jury transcripts and the Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" as sources of evidence supporting the broader conspiracy theory. Sean Combs is not named as a defendant, though the John Doe designations leave open the possibility of amended filings as discovery proceeds. The family's 1997 wrongful death suit, filed by Afeni Shakur against alleged triggerman Orlando Anderson, was dismissed following Anderson's death. The current filing argues new evidence makes the case legally distinct. Mutulu Shakur died in 2023. Afeni Shakur died in 2016. Eric Faddis provides analysis of the lawsuit's legal architecture, the interplay between the civil and criminal proceedings, and the practical implications of civil discovery for individuals connected to a case that has remained partially unresolved for nearly three decades.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we answer your listener questions about the future of Apple's product lineup, the software and services shaping the ecosystem, and our own personal histories with the company and its devices.Some questions centre on the iPhone Air and its future direction, including whether Apple might adopt silicon-carbon battery technology for a second-generation model, or prioritise adding a second camera lens instead. There is also interest in how ‌iPhone Air‌ might evolve with features like a vibrating surface speaker.The foldable iPhone generates a lot of discussion, with questions touching on whether listeners would choose it over an ‌iPhone Air‌, whether it could replace both an iPhone and iPad mini, and whether its arrival signals the end of the dedicated compact tablet.Broader hardware questions include when the 11th-generation iPad will be updated, when Apple plans to complete the OLED with ProMotion rollout across its entire laptop lineup, whether the MacBook Neo risks cannibalizing ‌iPad‌ sales, and what the future holds for Apple Vision Pro given its underwhelming reception.On the software side, questions cover what visionOS might look like several years down the line, Photomator's future and whether Apple intends to develop it into a proper Lightroom alternative, and whether Apple is falling behind competitors like Alexa on basic smart home automation, pointing out that HomePod still relies on Shortcuts for many routines that Alexa handles natively.The general tech questions are the most varied, asking which Apple device would cause the biggest bottleneck if swapped for an entry-level version, whether we would attempt an Apple Watch-only week without an iPhone, and what device combinations we actually rely on day to day. There is also curiosity about Nothing as a brand and whether it is worth taking seriously, as well as concerns about the escalating cost of MacBook Pro models and where the ceiling might be.A number of questions are more personal, asking about our first Apple products, what originally drew us to the ecosystem, our favorite and oldest devices, and whether family members using non-Apple products causes any friction. The MacRumors Show has its own YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed to keep up with new episodes and clips.

10. The Terminal Stage and Impending Collapse of OPEC Guest: Michael Bernstam Summary: Bernstam argues OPEC is dying due to the US shale revolution turning America into an exporter.

The argument is straightforward and increasingly unavoidable: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell did not operate alone, and the evidentiary record now visible to the public confirms this beyond reasonable dispute. The scale, longevity, and complexity of Epstein's trafficking operation required facilitators, protectors, and institutional tolerance across financial, legal, and logistical domains. The notion of Epstein as a lone predator collapses under scrutiny when confronted with documented patterns of accommodation, repeated institutional failures, and a deliberately layered structure designed to insulate higher-level participants from exposure. This architecture mirrors organized crime models in which the most visible figure absorbs attention while shielding others, yet unlike comparable criminal enterprises, Epstein's network was never subjected to expansive conspiracy or RICO-style prosecution. That absence is not explained by a lack of evidence, but by prosecutorial choices that constrained accountability to a narrow scope.What makes the current moment different is not new suspicion, but public access to proof—emails, financial records, sworn testimony, and court filings that demonstrate knowing participation by multiple actors. With these receipts now widely visible, the Department of Justice faces a credibility crisis: either acknowledge that prior charging decisions failed to reflect the full criminal reality, or continue defending a narrative that no longer aligns with the facts. Calls for a comprehensive investigation are not demands for retribution, but for coherence and institutional integrity. If accountability remains selectively applied, the lesson communicated is that complexity itself can function as legal armor. At that point, judgment shifts from the courtroom to history, and the failure becomes not merely prosecutorial, but systemic—one that permanently reshapes public trust in the justice system and U.S. Department of Justice itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

What if the clothes you're putting on your body, or your child's body, every single day… were quietly poisoning you? In this explosive solo episode, Darin exposes a shocking and largely ignored reality: fast fashion clothing, especially brightly colored, cheap garments, may be loaded with toxic heavy metals like lead. Backed by a 2026 study from the American Chemical Society, this conversation reveals how these chemicals don't just sit on fabric, they leach into your skin, enter your bloodstream, and accumulate over time. From the hidden chemistry behind synthetic dyes to the devastating neurological effects of lead exposure in children, this episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked "fatal conveniences" in modern life—and gives you the tools to make safer, smarter choices starting today.     What You'll Learn The shocking discovery: children's clothing exceeding federal lead limits Why bright, cheap fast fashion items are the most toxic How heavy metals like lead are used to fix dyes into fabrics Why your skin is not a barrier, but a direct absorption pathway The connection between clothing, sweat, and chemical absorption The devastating effects of lead exposure on children's brains and development Why there is no safe level of lead exposure The hidden chemical load in fast fashion: PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde How the fast fashion industry cuts costs at the expense of health Practical steps to protect yourself and your family     Chapters 00:00:00 – Opening: introducing the fast fashion heavy metal crisis 00:00:17 – The "cheap t-shirt" scenario and hidden danger 00:00:46 – Speaking directly to parents and caregivers 00:01:30 – The shocking claim: clothing may contain neurotoxins 00:02:45 – 2026 study: children's clothing tested for lead 00:03:14 – Every sample exceeded federal safety limits 00:04:20 – Lead exposure happening through daily wear 00:05:33 – Fast fashion industry scale: $150B+ and growing 00:06:20 – 1,000 new styles per day: the system behind overproduction 00:07:09 – How cheap clothing is actually manufactured 00:07:49 – Chemical dyes and fixatives explained 00:08:20 – Why lead is used in fabric dyeing 00:08:49 – Study details: methodology and testing process 00:09:21 – Research team and origin of investigation 00:10:52 – Advanced testing: spectroscopy and EPA protocols 00:11:40 – Results: every shirt failed safety standards 00:12:10 – Bright colors = higher toxicity 00:13:05 – Secondary experiment: ingestion and mouthing behavior 00:14:00 – Children chewing clothing: real-world exposure 00:14:49 – Skin is not a barrier—it's a delivery system 00:15:30 – Sweat and heat increase chemical absorption 00:16:28 – Microplastics and chemical leaching through skin 00:17:13 – Exercise increases toxin absorption 00:18:00 – Flame retardants and systemic circulation 00:18:50 – Long-term exposure: accumulation over time 00:19:36 – No safe level of lead exposure—global consensus 00:20:15 – Effects on children: brain damage and development issues 00:21:14 – Behavioral, cognitive, and neurological consequences 00:22:00 – Broader chemical exposure: 8,000+ compounds in clothing 00:23:01 – Solutions begin: awareness and behavior change 00:23:40 – Immediate action: always wash new clothes 00:24:10 – Choosing safer fabrics: organic and natural materials 00:24:50 – Avoiding synthetic blends and bright dyes 00:25:20 – Buy less, buy better philosophy 00:26:01 – Supporting ethical and non-toxic brands 00:26:40 – Using your consumer voice to create change 00:27:10 – Educating others and spreading awareness 00:27:40 – Final message: protecting your body and your children 00:28:00 – Closing: reclaiming control and living a SuperLife     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

And when you start to realize that the things you wear every day can carry toxic chemicals directly into your body, everything changes. Because this isn't about fear—it's about awareness. And once you're aware, you have the power to choose differently, protect your family, and stop participating in a system that was never designed with your health in mind."     Bibliography/Sources The Primary Study American Chemical Society.
