Stocks advanced losses into the close, with the Dow closing down 173 points and the S&P and Nasdaq falling more than 1%, and Jim Cramer is helping investors navigate today's market action. Then, FedEx pre-announced earnings after the bell, withdrawing its full-year guidance and announcing significant cost-cutting measures following softness in global volume of shipments, and Cramer's got CEO Raj Subramaniam to dig deeper into the numbers. Next, as the IPO market continues to struggle, Cramer's talking to FIGS CEO Trina Spear about its public debut last year and how it's faring amid wider volatility in their first year as a public company. Plus, Charif Souki of Tellurian.

It was a long-shot bet on liquid natural gas, but it paid off handsomely — and turned the United States into a leading fossil-fuel exporter.The journalist Jake Bittle delves into the storied career of Charif Souki, the Lebanese American entrepreneur whose aptitude for risk changed the course of the American energy business.The article outlines how Mr. Souki rose from being a Los Angeles restaurant owner to becoming the co-founder and chief executive of Cheniere Energy, an oil and gas company that specialized in liquefied natural gas, and provides an insight into his thought process: “As Souki sees it,” Mr. Bittle writes, “the need to provide the world with energy in the short term outweighs the long-term demand of acting on carbon emissions.”In a time of acute climate anxiety, Mr. Souki's rationale could strike some as outdated, even brazen. The world may be facing energy and climate crises, Mr. Souki told The New York Times, “but one is going to happen this month, and the other one is going to happen in 40 years.”“If you tell somebody, ‘You are going to run out of electricity this month,' and then you talk to the same person about what's going to happen in 40 years,” he said, “they will tell you, ‘What do I care about 40 years from now?'”This story was written by Jake Bittle and recorded by Audm.
