Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments, after the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, announced that it will today commence an on-market share buyback programme for an aggregate consideration of up to US$2,000,000. The Company's board of directors believe that the current share price trades at a significant discount to the Company's intrinsic value. The purpose of the Programme is therefore to seek to take advantage of this discount to enhance Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, reduce the Company's share capital, and return value to its shareholders. Quick snapshot: who TMT is and what they own TMT is a listed investment company focused on technology, media and telecoms ventures. Founded nearly 15 years ago, the firm has backed more than 100 companies across the US, Western Europe, the UK and Estonia. Its portfolio includes several high-growth names that have achieved large multiples on real exits, and the group reports an IRR since inception of over 14%. Key portfolio highlights include a material holding in Bolt, several profitable growth companies such as Sandbird, and other scalable businesses that are already generating cash. TMT also holds liquid, publicly traded US stock totalling around US$12 million that can be sold if needed. Despite that mix, the market capitalisation for TMT has been trading well below the value of its assets, at roughly a 60% discount to NAV. Why the buyback matters The board's stated purpose is straightforward: use the buyback to enhance NAV per share, reduce share capital, and return value to shareholders while taking advantage of the discount. Management has framed the decision as both a prudent capital allocation and a signal that they see the shares as undervalued relative to the company's intrinsic holdings. Put simply, when a listed vehicle holds large stakes in businesses that are profitable or have credible exit paths, repurchasing shares at steep discounts can be an efficient way to convert latent value into realised shareholder benefit. Conservative valuation, transaction-first approach TMT emphasises a conservative, transparent approach to valuing its portfolio. Rather than relying heavily on convenient multiples, the company values most holdings using actual transactions where possible. As of the most recent reporting, only about 15% of the portfolio value was derived from multiples. The rest is grounded in verifiable cash exits or market-based evidence. This transaction-first method matters for two reasons. First, it reduces the subjectivity that often plagues private asset valuations. Second, it gives buyers and existing shareholders more confidence that the headline NAV is meaningful and not merely an academic number. Why the London market discounts investment companies There are several forces pushing listed VC-style investment companies to trade at discounts. A few of the main contributors are: Market risk aversion. Volatility and macro uncertainty make investors prefer simple, liquid stories over diversified, private-rich portfolios. Focus on the negatives. When you hold dozens of companies, the market tends to fixate on weaker performers instead of the winners. Timing uncertainty for exits. Investors price in delays for IPOs or sales, which reduces near-term enthusiasm for NAV-based assets. Capital outflows from small caps. Structural flows away from smaller listed companies can suppress demand further. Those factors help explain why an investment company can be priced well below the sum of its parts, even when its largest holdings are sizable and verifiable. Portfolio depth and track record TMT's historical performance includes high-multiple exits and several successful growth stories. The team leverages decades of operating and investing experience to access deals, support scale-up, and realise value. For investors who cannot source and monitor multiple early-stage opportunities directly, a diversified vehicle like TMT offers scaled exposure with professional oversight. Examples mentioned by management include exits that delivered 50 times and 23 times the original investment, and a portfolio valuation that exceeds US$200 million. Those realised outcomes are a reminder that venture-style returns remain achievable, albeit uneven across companies. Why management is buying back shares now The buyback is both a practical move and a signal. Management believes the current market price significantly understates intrinsic value. Buying stock at a 60% discount can meaningfully increase NAV per remaining share, and it demonstrates the board's confidence in the portfolio's prospects. "You're paying 40p for a pound."That shorthand captures the essence of the opportunity as the board sees it: purchasing a claim on a dollar of underlying value for substantially less than its stated worth. How to evaluate this kind of opportunity When considering an investment in a listed, venture-style vehicle, the following checklist helps frame the decision: Valuation basis — Are portfolio values backed by cash exits or observable market prices, or are they largely multiples and estimates? Concentration risk — How much of the NAV is tied to a single holding and how comfortably can that position be realised? Liquidity profile — How easy would it be to monetise some holdings if capital was required? Exit pipeline and timing — Are there credible catalysts, such as planned IPOs or trade sale processes? Management track record — Does the team have a history of building companies, achieving exits and allocating capital well? Discount to NAV — Is the discount justified by legitimate risks, or does it reflect short-term market sentiment? Risk and timeframe Investing through a vehicle like TMT is not a short-term trade. Venture outcomes are irregular and often require patience, typically measured in years rather than months. Catalysts such as IPO announcements can rapidly re-rate a stock, but those events are timing-dependent. The buyback reduces share count and can accelerate per-share NAV accretion, yet it does not remove execution risk across underlying companies. Final thought TMT's share buyback is a clear, pragmatic response to a valuation gap. For investors comfortable with venture-style risk and a longer time horizon, buying into a diversified, transaction-valued portfolio at a substantial discount can be an attractive opportunity. As always, review the underlying holdings, assess the company's valuation methodology, and consider how the investment fits within your broader portfolio objectives.

On Day 4, we create an automatic, zero-friction anchor for focus. The moment you feel the urge to procrastinate, you need an instant counter-move. By integrating the Hakini Mudra—the Gesture of Concentration—you give your body a simple, non-verbal command to 'Lock in.' This physical cue significantly shortens the transition time from a distracted state to a powerful Deep Work block, making attention a predictable reflex. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Don Gentile believes in the long-term thesis for CoreWeave (CRWV) but sees Monday's after-hours earnings report as a volatile one. He urges investors watch the company's handling of power contracts and how it balances capacity constraints. Concentration risk is another concern Don has for the A.I. infrastructure company, though he sees CoreWeave diversifying its portfolio long-term.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we reset the conversation around RSUs—restricted stock units—and bring it back to the basics while adding context relevant to 2025. We start by defining what RSUs are: a form of equity compensation that incentivizes employees to remain at a company and contribute to its long-term success. These units don't hold any value until they vest, which typically happens over a period of years. Amy compares this to being promised jelly beans in the future—enticing but only valuable once they're actually in your hands.We walk through vesting schedules, with one-year cliffs and subsequent payouts over several years being the norm. The concept of “golden handcuffs” comes into play, where employees lose unvested RSUs if they leave a company, adding a layer of retention-driven strategy from employers. We also dig into the tax implications, emphasizing that there's no tax when RSUs are granted—but they are taxed as ordinary income once they vest. Many people mistakenly assume the company's withholding covers the full tax liability, but that's often not the case, especially for high earners.The conversation gets technical but clear, explaining how the timing of selling RSUs affects how gains are taxed—short-term gains being taxed as ordinary income and long-term gains benefitting from lower capital gains rates. We debunk the myth of “double taxation” with a simple timeline that separates the grant date, vesting date, and eventual sale date, highlighting how only the gain beyond vesting is taxed again.We then explore the decision of whether to hold or sell RSUs. It depends on individual circumstances, but key factors include overall exposure to the company through salary, stock, and other equity compensation. Concentration risk becomes a big deal, especially if both partners in a household have RSUs at the same company.Common mistakes include underestimating tax obligations, overconcentration in employer stock, and failing to plan for tax bracket changes due to RSU income. On the opportunity side, we point to strategic uses of appreciated RSUs—such as charitable donations and goal-based selling. With RSUs becoming more common outside of tech and market volatility remaining high, understanding your vesting schedule and strategy has never been more important.We wrap up by encouraging listeners to treat RSUs as part of a broader financial plan, not just as a bonus or windfall.

In this episode, we continue exploring rootless consciousness—states of awareness that arise without mental roots of greed, hatred, or delusion. Building on Part One, we dive deeper into the 18 types of rootless consciousness, grouped as unwholesome, wholesome, and functional. Each is shaped by three factors: its nature, feeling (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral), and kind of consciousness.Through vivid explanations, this talk shows how our sensory experiences—seeing, hearing, touching, and thinking—reflect past karma, and how neutral or pleasant feelings arise from these subtle mental processes. It also examines rare forms of consciousness unique to enlightened beings, such as the smile-producing consciousness of the Buddha and arahants.Tune in to gain a clearer understanding of how consciousness functions beneath the surface of everyday awareness, bridging theory and meditative insight on the path toward liberation.YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

This episode explores the Buddhist concept of bhavaṅga, or the “life continuum” — the stream of consciousness that connects one moment to the next, and even one life to another. It explains how our unique personalities at birth may arise from past lives, carried through this subtle flow of awareness.We also look at how consciousness operates between wakefulness and deep sleep, and how every perception — seeing, hearing, thinking — unfolds through a rapid series of thought moments. Using the vivid “falling mango” analogy, we uncover how these moments shape our experiences and generate karma. Tune in to understand how the mind's hidden processes influence who we are and the path our lives take.YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Beef Packer Concentration Is The Problem Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a television interview that concentration in the beef packing industry needs to be addressed, called Brazilian ownership a “major issue” in the sector and suggested smaller processors produce “healthier” food. In a Fox News appearance, she discussed issues of ground beef prices, imports and U.S. herd size. “Is there something that needs to be done about the processors?” host Will Cain asked in a followup question. “One hundred percent, yes, when you have four major processors, two owned by the Brazilians,” Rollins replied, holding up two fingers in a V, “so half of that is not even American owned. You have a major issue when they are processing 85% of the beef in America. We have to decentralize, deregulate, invest in and incentivize smaller processors.  REFERENCES: https://meatingplace.com/rollins-says-beef-packer-concentration-is-100-a-problem/ USDA'S Cattle Plan The U.S. The Department of Agriculture revealed a plan on Oct. 22, 2025, to “fortify” the American beef industry, strengthen ranches, rebuild capacity and lower costs for consumers.  It includes a USDA-DOA Grazing Action Plan, Consumer Transparency, and to Build Demand Alongside Domestic Supply.  For the complete breakdown of the action plan, click HERE.

Concentration beats diversification. One stock. That's all Jaden Sterling bought during the 1990s. It tripled, became capital for 125 real estate deals, and eventually funded Sterling Stock Picker, a stock-picking platform now serving 3,000 investors. What most financial advisors don't tell you: diversification is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. When Jaden's clients at Merrill Lynch held 4-6 solid companies, they were pressured to sell and diversify into mutual funds. The math later showed holding those original positions would've beaten all the churn. The path to real wealth isn't about spreading money thin. It's about focused conviction in what you actually understand. I sat down with Jaden to talk about deal structures across real estate, concentrated stock investing, raising capital from customers instead of VCs, and why your relationship with money mirrors your relationship with yourself.
