Democrats flipped a key Senate seat in Pennsylvania, helping to fend off expectations of a “red wave” by Republicans. Fordham Global Insight's Tina Fordham dives into the midterm results. Plus, with the Republicans expected to win back control of the house and the Senate still hanging in the balance, there could be some changes coming to the United States' role in the global energy landscape. RBC Capital Markets' Helima Croft lays out the case. And, shares of Disney are falling after missing on the top and bottom lines in Q4. Citigroup's Jason Bazinet discuss the future of the company.

In this episode, we speak with Kevin McLoughlin. Kevin is partner and co-founder at MTech Capital. He has spent 22 years in insurance investment banking. Along with his brother they created MTech Capital as a venture capital firm that invests in technology companies operating in the insurance industry.  Kevin talks with us about how digital technology allows insurance companies to advance their operations and offer new products, but how adoption has been a slow process. As venture capital investors, he explains how MTech is being patient and navigating the industry as insurance becomes more embedded in daily life. Kevin does stress the importance of digital transformation, and how the use of the cloud and technologies like AI and ML can be game changers for insurance and banking. -------3 Takeaways:AI will transform the insurance industry. With the advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence, it creates enormous opportunities in the insurance industry to aggregate new data and to analyze existing data.There are clear parallels between the evolution of FinTech and InsureTech. There is a strategic imperative in insurance to adopt technology for digitalization. Many processes now can be automated using combinations of technology, OCR, machine learning, and natural language processing, and others.A big and important trend is cloud computing. Kevin believes that insurance companies on the one hand understand that to really make use of machine learning in all parts of their business, they need to move their data up to the cloud. At the same time there can be resistance and reluctance to do that because they are used to the on premises systems they have today, so there is fear of losing data.-------Key Quotes: “You'd be hard pressed to come up with I think another industry that uses data more than insurance. I mean the whole industry is actually predicated on data. There's nothing tangible about it.”“AI will transform the insurance industry. I have no doubt. The industry needs time to develop these use cases and measure the efficacy of technology in various parts of the business. Personally, where I see the most potential for value creation through technology will be using machine learning, on the underwriting front.”“Insurance is all about probabilities. That's really what it comes down to. What is the probability that a business or a person is going to have a claim?”“The fascinating potential of AI here is to be able to assess a whole lot more of these factors that maybe never occurred to actuaries or data scientists, that there might be some correlation and to identify correlations, which actually have quite predictive power about the probability of a claim.”-------Best Career Advice:At some point pick your niche and go deep in it to make yourself invaluable to your employer.-------Bio:Kevin McLoughlin, Partner and Co-Founder at MTech CapitalKevin McLoughlin spent 22 years in insurance investment banking, most recently as the Global Head of Insurance Investment Banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and prior to that, as Global Head of Insurance Banking at Citigroup. He also spent 7 years as an executive at AIG. Kevin maintains senior level relationships across the insurance industry globally, having advised many of the largest companies during his banking career.

We talk quite a bit about the world of venture capital (VC) and how toxic and challenging it is for female founders.

In the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, Michael Schatzberg “The Restaurant Guy” and Jimmy Frischling “The Finance Guy” chat with Mani Kulasooriya, Co-Founder & CEO of Cut+Dry plus the guys introduce a new segment, Trivia Tuesday and share a fun trivia question about their guest at the end of the show. Cut+Dry is an all-in-one commerce enablement platform for foodservice distributors. It was created to provide distributors, their customers, and their suppliers with a single digital platform to make food commerce a more enjoyable, more profitable, and less wasteful experience. Kulasooriya has been working in tech for over twenty plus years. He started in consumer internet and fintech before fintech was even coined. Before founding Cut+Dry, in 2019, Mani co-founded CAKE, a restaurant technology startup, which was acquired by Sysco. All founders start a company based on some experience they had, positive or negative. Kulasooriya shares how he took specific experiences from Citigroup, Yahoo and CAKE before he developed Cut+Dry. Kulasooriya says that Cut+Dry has the largest structured data base in the industry. He adds that the big problem that they are solving can have significant benefits to the foodservice ecosystem and also to humanity in general. Kulasooriya notes that 30% of food getting thrown out has environmental and social consequences. They talk about the role that data plays for the operators, distributors and the manufacturers. Cut+Dry does the heavy lifting with the data then gives the operators, manufacturers and distributors the applications that make their businesses run better. To hear more about how the data can positively impact the total business, the use case for the restaurants and Kulasooriya's Trivia Tuesday answer, check out this episode of Hospitality Hangout.

US futures are indicating a lower open, with Amazon down after guiding slower sales growth as consumer spending wears out. The EU non-food retailers are also under pressure following Amazon's poor outlook. European equity markets have opened lower, following weaker performance in Asia. The focus now centers on next week's FOMC meeting and whether policymakers will signal a step-down in the pace of rate hikes beyond November. In the meantime, disappointing results from the US tech giants are supporting the notion that the recession concerns are taking precedence over monetary policy concerns.

Midlife stress is a killer for some of us. It may ebb and flow. It may settle in for a spell, but it's a part of life for all of us. How we handle it of course depends on: our awareness of the sources willingness to do something about the sources ability to create selfcare strategies to balance those sources that we wouldn't wish away or can't.  My guest today wants you to know you can turn midlife stress into strength and go from Victim to Victorious. In this interview episode I recruit my guest to support some challenges you too might have, drinking too much coffee or running when it's not helping your cause. Anyone know that wine is a habit that may be interrupting your sleep, weight goals, and energy but have a hard time giving it up? I asked about that.  If these don't quite resonate, don't go away, you'll find something in this episode no matter what it might be you want to change. The challenge we may not be able to solve for you is, knowing which habit may contribute to an undesirable outcome, paired with refusal to give it up when you find out. That's a tough one.  Ready to Say Bye Bye to Midlife Stress? Or at least calm her down? If you are ready to change, even if you're only thinking about it, this episode promises to help. Did you know, right now is a great time to change?  At the time of this release there are about 60 days remaining in this year. We all feel a sense of urgency when things are coming to a close. So this just might be what puts your wheels in motion.  My Guest:  Transformation Guide and Founder of New Life Directions, reinvents lives and creates Fresh Starts driven by a purposeful vision. As an international speaker and author of "the Fresh Start Promise" and" Victim to Victorious", Edwige Gilbert  turns stress into success by clearing unwanted habits and behaviors, creating self- confidence and exuberant enjoyment of life, or as she calls it in French, "Joie de Vivre" She has been featured on Lifetime TV (“The Balancing Act”) on national radio and in such magazines as New York Magazine, Personal Excellence, Woman's World, American Health, Allure, and Women's Fitness. Edwige holds certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (N.L.P) Hypnotherapy, Substance abuse counseling, Behavior Change, Yoga and Qigong. Among her clients include: MTV, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, the Corcoran Group, Expedia, Pritikin weight loss center, Unit 4, and the Alzheimer's Association.  Questions We answer in this episode:  How did you get here? Why this why or how did midlife stress come onto your radar?  Among your clients are Citibank, MTV and Expedia as well as Pritikin Weight Loss Center. Pritikin, I can easily relate to, how did you help companies like Citibank or MTV - without of course violating confidentiality?  Tell listeners a little about your books, which came first?  Given so many experts often had their own journey first, what prompted that?  Let's talk about clearing unwanted habits(we mentioned in your introduction)… because there are really two things there: first to identify the habits causing an unwanted outcome. It's easy to identify the undesirable outcome. It's harder to identify the habit, and even harder yet to break or replace it.  At what point in their journey do you begin working with someone?  How do your clients find you?  Let's take a fairly benign example, let's say we have a listener drinking coffee .. she absolutely wants to lose the weight, now what?  Say a listener knows she needs a change in her exercise routine because it's not working. Now what? I've got a woman listening who ... wants two very opposite things, (once she understands that wine is sugar, sugar causes blood sugar and insulin spikes and sets your body into fat storage mode). Where would you begin?  Connect with Edwige: https://allmylinks.com/edwige-gilbert Book available on Amazon "Victim to Victorious"

Last Wednesday, nineteen states announced that they had subpoenaed JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs, asking for documents relating to the companies' involvement with the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance. These states felt it was against their best interests for these banks to blackball the fossil fuel industry, going so far as to call the banks “corporate activists.” But after doing some digging, it appears these companies are far from “corporate activists,” ranking number 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, and 14 in the world in fossil fuel financing. Ethan argues why the banks' decision to join the NZBA was more a financial decision than a political one, and how this subpoena has already caused damage to the global banking community's climate ambitions in this week's “Tip of the Iceberg.” The Sweaty Penguin is presented by Peril and Promise: a public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York, reporting on the issues and solutions around climate change.

Under her leadership, Tropic Skincare has funded a year's worth of education for 4,000 children in rural Asia and a new forest with Forestry England in Hampshire in 2022.At 15, Susie Ma and her mom moved from Australia to London. They struggled to make ends meet, so Susie decided to help her mom with the bills. That's when she remembered spending time with her grandmother, who was a medicinal chemist, in tropical Nord Queensland, Australia. She taught Susie that our skin needs feeding with nourishing, healthy ingredients just as much as our bodies. Susie found her grandma's recipe and began making body scrubs with natural ingredients. This was her lightbulb moment for Susie. She would join her mom at London's Greenwich Market to sell her body scrub. That Saturday at the market initiated a life-changing moment. She borrowed and invested 200 pounds in the products and after an exhausting day of selling, Susie remembers counting her money— nearly 1000 pounds—and realizing that “this was the beginning of everything.”As a high school student, she wanted to do more. She headed off to college, where she majored in business so she could land a job where she could “make loads of money.” Right out of college, Susie landed a job as a foreign exchange trader at Citi Group. She achieved her dream of making lots of money. But by the end of her first work week, she felt something was missing. She quickly realized that she didn't just want to be working to earn good money. Instead, she wanted a job where she could enjoy herself daily.She applied to the United Kingdom's version of The Apprentice, hosted by Lord Alan Sugar, a hugely successful entrepreneur, and investor. Out of 73,000 applicants, Susie made the final 16 candidates. She did not win, but while she was on the show, she restarted her Tropic Body Scrub business, counting on the show's publicity to drive sales. It worked. She sold out of products instantly, which garnered the attention of Sugar, who wanted to help her. Susie convinced him to invest 20,000 pounds to become a 50% partner in the company. While the investment helped, Susie built on her direct sales model, turning her first 400 customers into ambassadors who could generate up to a 30% commission on sales. That network of ambassadors has now grown to more than 20,000 around the UK and 400 full-time employees.Susie has focused on positioning Tropic as a model for the beauty industry, using sustainable packaging, and donating 10% of its profits “to good causes to help towards that infinite purpose, which is to help create a healthier, greener, and more empowered world.” Susie wants to show the world just how much difference you can make and show people that no matter who you are or where you're from, and how old you are, you can make a difference. Join us to listen to how Susie embraces challenges and opportunities,  turns her Plan B into Plan A, and gives back to our planet and the underprivileged part of society.Listen to Eudeshi Naidu,  our special appearance from Dale Carnegie London, on how we can make a difference by applying the Dale Carnegie principles, going the extra mile, and creating a memorable experience for all.

And not necessarily in that order . But you need to show those five things before you are worthy enough to ask for anyone else to give you money. and then you only have a chance. So, if you can do those five things and do them in your way and however you want to interpret those you will find more success. I truly believe if you omit any one of those it will be harder for you… I am not saying impossible but it will be harder”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-npB

Kontinuierlich robuste Wirtschafts- und Inflationsdaten bereiten der Wall Street am Freitag Kopfschmerzen. Das Verbrauchervertrauen der Universität von Michigan lag im Oktober über den Erwartungen. Dass die langfristigen Inflationserwartungen steigen, ist besonders bedenklich. Gleichzeitig reagiert die Wall Street enttäuscht auf die adjustierten Vorschläge der englischen Regierung. Wenigstens die Ergebnisse fallen an der Wall Street erneut besser als befürchtet aus. Bis auf den Aktien von Morgan Stanley, geht es bei der Citigroup, J.P. Morgan und Wells Fargo bergauf. Auch United Health kann die Ziele schlagen.

Tom welcomes a new guest, Michael Moor, to the show. Michael is an analyst with a fifteen-year career on the floor of the NYMEX. He now provides industry-leading analysis and directional calls in the Gold and Energy Markets. He explains the importance of using technical trading and why it normally leads fundamentals. Michael explains what led him to make the call for low oil prices back in 2020. Heating oil and gasoline lead crude oil about eighty percent of the time, which can be highly advantageous in trading. He explains some of his analysis for gold and how time frames influence his calls. Various formations are usually a gradual progression over different time frames that eventually result in a move. He feels the down move in the S&P this year is more of a bearish correction within the longer bull cycle. He gives us his analysis on where the equity markets may be heading. Should the S&P hold around this level, we could see a substantial move upwards. He also believes that energy will be moving to the upside. Lastly, he discusses crude spreads and how they can be a leading indicator. Understanding the inner workings of energy options can give a trader an enormous advantage.

Just a week ago, 14 years after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers triggered a global financial crisis, the liquidation of its brokerage unit ended. More than $115 billion was paid out to Lehman's 1.1 lakh customers, secured and unsecured creditors, and a trustee who oversaw the brokerage's liquidation and his law firm. Lehman Brothers had been US's fourth-largest investment bank before filing the largest bankruptcy in American history by far on September 15, 2008, leaving over $600 billion in debt.   Today, on the other side of the Atlantic, growing concerns over the financial health of Switzerland's second-biggest lender Credit Suisse have sparked fears on whether the world should brace for another Lehman-like financial fallout. Its bigger Swiss peer UBS Group had received a state bailout in the 2008 crisis. Credit Suisse has been assuring staff, counterparties, clients and investors that its liquidity and capital position are strong. But its shares have fallen 55% over the past year, giving it a market cap of about $11 billion. This is lower than several Indian banks like HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, SBI, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank. One of the biggest banks in Europe, Credit Suisse had $1.6 trillion in assets under management at the end of 2021. It has wealth management, investment banking and asset management operations, besides a domestic Swiss bank. Swiss central bank has designated it one of the country's global systemically important banks, whose failure would cause “significant harm to the Swiss economy and financial system”. The bank's credit default swaps (CDS), an instrument that measures the cost to insure its bonds, hit their highest levels since 2009. CEO Ulrich Koerner, who took charge in August, is attempting to restore the bank's profitability. Over the past three quarters alone, Credit Suisse's losses have hit nearly $4 billion, while ratings downgrades increased its financing costs. The collapse of US family office Archegos Capital Management cost the bank $5.5 billion last year. It suffered further losses from lending to the now-defunct supply-chain finance company Greensill Capital. Multiple changes in top leadership since 2020 and high-profile risk management failures have also attracted investor scrutiny. The bank is due to present a transformation plan when it releases third-quarter results on October 27. Credit Suisse had total assets of $735 billion at the end of June. The strategic review launched by the new CEO will focus on strengthening the bank's flagship wealth management business and scaling back investment banking into a “capital- light, advisory-led” business. Asset and business sales are also on the cards. It is also evaluating strategic options for its securitised products group, a trading business. Analysts estimate it could face a capital shortfall of as much as $6 billion. Amit Jain, Co-Founder, Ashika Global Family Office Services says, at this stage, only govt can support Credit Suisse. . European economy may face a shock, he believes. Indian markets may see a temporary correction.  Given the negative news flow, Citigroup analysts see significant execution risk in any new strategic plan. In the short term, they said widening credit spreads can exacerbate market fears and damage counterparty confidence as well as drive funding costs higher. And in the long term, the fall in its share price will further dilute its capital raising capability. And it will throw a spanner in plan for any investment banking restructuring that Credit Suisse can undertake. Santosh Joseph, Founder and Managing Partner, Germinate Investor Services LLP says, finance costs have gone up, Eurozone is struggling. Credit Suisse's story isn't a surprise, stakeholders can act. If India gets impacted, it'll be the first to bounce back, he says.  Jose Antonio Alvarez, the CEO of Santander, one of Euro zone's biggest banks, said that liquidity in the banking secto

ORN John Titus show notes 10/4/22 John's substack is BestEvidence.substack.com 2008 financial collapse was one lie after another after another till bailout was passed, and then more lying. Too Big To Fail movie was a piece of s**t. The Big Short movie is great. FED transaction for $5 million also created $5 million in deposits. They bought assets from non-banks and had to create a parallel amount of money. $9 trillion was actually created. $13 trillion in deposit accounts at the onset of the pandemic. Now at $18 trillion. Set the stage for inflation. In a debt-based monetary system, money contracting, which we have now, is either a depression or bad recession. Great Depression had 30% contraction of money supply. Bank deposits between Feb and August 2022 have been flat, and now it's falling. How does the FED monetize Patrick's car? It's mostly with the financial instruments and mortgage back securities. Creditors of US treasury are owed $5.6 trillion. The owners of the FED are the ones making money. Why don't they have to pay back? Paper by Ricard Werner: Can banks create money out of nothing? Banks don't get dispossessed of money they loan. The money is created on the balance sheet out of thin air, offset by a debit entry on the balance sheet. Bank Robbery by Ivo Mossley explains it all. .01% of the population can create money out of thin air and lend it at interest. Mastercard is not a bank. Has a bank behind it. Banks that own the Federal Reserve give Treasury 6% back after expenses. 12 district Federal Reserve banks. Citigroup is dominant owner of New York FED. They're not paying profits to the FED. Why not? Citigroup borrowed $2.5 trillion from the FED in addition to TARP. Poorly run company with junk stock – did 10 for 1 stock split. Needed a bailout. FED went to Citigroup. Said you have a bunch of mortgage bank securities that are worthless. FED bought them up out of reserves. During pandemic, FED bought assets from BlackRock, who isn't in the FED circuit of reserves. Made a 3 way transaction with 1 million reserves created, 1 million retail bank deposits created. 60% of FED paper money is overseas. FED wants to bypass the banks and compete with them by dealing directly with consumers with CBDC. Amount of legal tender is $2.3 trillion in FED reserve notes and coins. If you have $50 million, you park them in Treasuries, and they're insured. John recommends reading the Z.1 Federal Reserve Report. We're in for a really bad time. Recession coming. Items in federal budget are non-negotiable. Amount of interest owed, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bigger than assets coming. Debt is spiraling out of control. Increase in interest rates will show up in interest rates that the federal government pays. Inflation is classic way out of runaway debt. There's no way out. No one with any money, like in 1929 recession, or everyone has lots of money and stuff costs 50 times as much. 2 ways to crash a currency. 1) Borrow from foreign currency, and that currency rises against yours. It's what happened in Weimar. 2) Lose a war. Here we are on the brink of a war. The US brand is being diluted intentionally. The US is being kicked to death. If we annihilate Europe, we have a new customer base. What happens to dollars if we go to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)? Central bankers hate dollars. They don't know who has them. They would know with CBDC. Need a network in local community to be able to continuing transacting in dollars or bartering. They deliberately collapse banks in debt-based monetary system. Think about: How are you going to be able to get your money quickly? Merit in selling stock and getting dollars. Gas station offering 60 cent cash discount.

Kamal Harris made some remarks during a discussion with Priyanka Chopra at the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum that sounded like she was saying the storm relief should be prioritized based on race and gender. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors announced that Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo will take part in a process to examine the economic risks posed by climate change.  Dr. Anthony Fauci has steered another lucrative grant to study bat viruses to EcoHealth Alliance, the same company suspected of conducting gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) slammed House Democratic leadership after they stalled the bipartisan effort to ban stock trading by members of Congress. A 30-year-old former NSA agent was arrested after the feds said that he had been trying to sell government secrets to an undercover FBI agent he thought worked for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. Joe Biden personally thanked a Coast Guardsman for saving a 94-year-old woman in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, but the hero expects to be fired within days for rejecting the COVID vaccine.Built Bar: https://shrsl.com/3lxh0Blue Coolers: https://shrsl.com/3ly0lPatriot Depot: https://patriotdepot.com?aff=44

US futures are indicating a higher open. Trading in both Asian and European markets has been significantly weaker, following Tuesday's weak US session. Reverberations have been felt in global markets following the weak Tuesday US trading session as a result of the hotter-than-expected August CPI data. We've also seen signals of intervention from the Bank of Japan, with an announcement that it would increase outright JGB purchases, and also reports that it has conducted a so-called rate check, a move interpreted as a precursor to direct currency intervention. Companies mentioned: Citigroup, Bed Bath & Beyond, Tencent Music Entertainment Group

Banks are where our money lives. But with the rise of fintech companies and cryptocurrencies, is that all going to change?

"Bank stocks are trading at a large discount compared to the overall stock market. The financial sector benefits from rising interest rates. Increase in loan loss provisions in a recession would be manageable. Bank capital ratios and loan books are much healthier today than they were in 2008. The Citigroup (C) stock price has lagged the market significantly over the past year. Citigroup improved focus on its best markets should drive improvements in its core returns. Popular Inc. (BPOP) is a small to mid-cap regional bank that dominates the Puerto Rican market. Popular Inc. (BPOP) has a very strong capital position," says Hunter Doble.

US futures are indicating a higher open. European equity markets have opened higher, following positive Asian trade. Markets are on track to snap a run of weekly losses that were driven in large part by hawkish central banks, the dollar rally and corresponding tightening of financial conditions, Europe's energy crunch, and tightening Covid restrictions in China. At the same time falling commodity prices continue to provide support for peak inflation narrative. Also tight labor markets and strong balance sheets are tempering recession concerns.

It's another first on Investing In Integrity: a conversation with one of our team-members! We're joined by Jody Holden, our new Chief Growth Officer at Scholars of Finance. Prior to joining SOF in the spring, Jody spent 25+ years in financial services, including stints at Prudential, Citigroup & Bank of America where she specialized in Equity Research and Institutional Sales. In this conversation, Jody takes us back to the beginning of her career working as an analyst. She recounts how her early research roles gave her both broad industry exposure and a strong foundation of transferable soft skills, which she then leveraged to rise the ranks to become a Managing Director of Institutional Sales. “My job,” Jody says, “is to make sure we're here for as long as we can possibly be here, to make sure we get bigger & stronger.” Jody takes us behind the scenes into growing a non-profit membership organization like SOF, sharing her perspective on our mission, vision, and values–and unpacking her optimism for the future of our organization and our growth strategy. Ross & Jody also discuss the importance of building and sustaining high-trust, high-integrity relationships in collaborative leadership.
