He later turns to stocks in Tesla (TSLA) and its "aggressive" call-buying action in options.

Phillip Streible expects oil to break below $60 into the mid-$50s, but notes that China is building up oil reserves on its path to total electrification. On crypto, he says traders are looking for any momentum plays to the upside; for Bitcoin, he thinks $116K-$118K is where it should consolidate. He thinks gold can sustain its rally, naming three price drivers he sees, but says it will eventually hit āterminal rate.ā======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On this week's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Vishwa, who is now 14 months into her journey. Vishwa recently completed an awesome photo shoot to mark her checkpoint after losing 30 pounds. She gives a raw and honest account of where she was before she joined RNT, why she joined, why regaining energy was such an important part of her journey, and why she wanted a lifestyle change more than anything. As she heads into her second year with us at RNT, she talks about crystallising the lifestyle solution that she desires over the next year, and also some of the roadblocks that she's faced along the way. We also dive into discoveries around habits and associations that have been with her for decades and how she's managed to unpack that through her journey so far.

This week, our guest is Eric Nuttall, Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners. Eric manages the Ninepoint Energy Fund (NNRG) and the Ninepoint Energy Income Fund (NRGI). Ā Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Eric: How would you compare investing in Canadian oil and gas producers versus U.S. companies?Ā Do you still believe Canada is undervalued relative to the U.S., as you did when we spoke a few years ago? With OPEC announcing on September 7, 2025, that it will add even more supply to the market, why are oil prices remaining so resilient, and what is Saudi Arabia's strategy? What are your expectations for North American natural gas prices, particularly in Canada, which has experienced exceptionally weak pricing this year? Canada has seen a wave of consolidation in the oil patchāhow do you view corporate consolidation in this context? You have long advocated for oil and gas producers to buy back shares, but if Canada succeeds in building new export pipelines for oil and gas, would you support companies growing production to create value rather than relying solely on buybacks? How can new export pipelines be built if investors continue to prefer buybacks over growth? Finally, do you believe Canadian oil and gas companies still trade at a āgreen discountā due to climate policies that burden the sector?Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/Ā Check us out on social media:Ā X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteĀ Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

One of the most frequent questions we hear from district and school math leaders is:āHow do I convince math educators to shift from always using the Gradual Release model to lessons that begin with rich math tasks?āThis episode is inspired by a recent conversation with a district leader guiding a math task force. While some colleagues leaned on the Gradual Release of Responsibility modelāāI do, we do, you doāāshe wanted to prioritize curiosity, problem solving, and mathematical reasoning up front. The tension? Research on direct instruction, particularly Hattie's work, is often misinterpreted as a call to always begin math lessons with direct modeling.This is not about replacing direct instruction in math class with inquiry. It's about designing math lessons where fluency, reasoning, communication, and conceptual understanding all have a placeāand where students begin with reasoning and end with precision.Listeners will hear:Ā Why problem-based lessons and Gradual Release are not an either/or choiceHow the math three-part lesson (Minds-On, Action, Consolidation) positions explicit teaching strategicallyWhat the research really says about direct vs. dialogic instruction from John Hattie.Why starting with student sense-making deepens conceptual understanding and retention.Ā Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Treat it that way and your creative testing stops being guesswork. In this episode, Andrew lays out a first-principles framework for Meta Ads that resolves three tensions operators hit every day:Consolidation: why āmore purchases per ad setā increases model confidence, stabilizes delivery, and compounds performance over time.Creative supply: how to increase diverse creative volume (not near-duplicates) without kicking high-performing ad sets back into volatility.False negatives: when Meta gives up too earlyāand practical ways to limit misses without torching budget.You'll leave with a clear mental model for structuring campaigns, setting bid strategies (including when manual bids help and why), deciding ad-per-ad-set counts, and preventing ālearning phaseā churn. If margin pressure, inconsistent scaling, or noisy tests are blocking growth, this is a rigorous, operator-grade way to diagnose the system and deploy creative testing that actually compounds.What you'll learn:- The ad-set level is where learning really happensāand how to leverage that- Why consolidating conversions beats scattering them across many ad sets- How to design creative pipelines that maximize diversity and minimize redundancy- Practical safeguards to reduce false negatives without sunk-cost waste- A simple deployment pattern to add new ads without disrupting scale- Listen to sharpen your testing strategy and reclaim wasted spend with a framework you can apply this quarter.//CHAPTER TITLES:00:01:38 - Why Meta Ad Creative Structure Is Important00:03:53 - The Value of Purchases In Your Ad Sets00:07:40 - Conversions Effect Ad Performance00:10:40 - Purdy & Figg Example00:17:13 - Utilizing Manual Bids For A Greater Performance00:21:05 - Creative Volume Is Good00:32:44 - Avoid False Negatives00:41:46 - What Should You Do?//SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL FOR 2X/WEEKLY UPLOADS!//ADMISSIONGet the best media buying training on the Internet + a free coaching call with Common Thread Collective's media buyers when you sign up for ADmission here: ā https://www.youradmission.co/andrew-faris-podcastā //FOLLOW UP WITH ANDREW X: ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā https://x.com/andrewjfaris ā Email: podcast@ajfgrowth.comWork with Andrew: ā https://ajfgrowth.com

When it comes to Monday's price action, Kevin Green says there's still bullish momentum rising above the red arrows. While the index's equal weight moved lower on the session, general trends point to healthy market breadth. When it comes to Nvidia (NVDA), Kevin shows the stock's consolidation ahead of its highly anticipated report on Wednesday. It's a trend Nvidia has established numerous times before, though as Kevin points out, only one of the past four consolidations resulted in gains after earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Michael Jagdeo, a headhunter and founder working with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate, about the cycles of money, power, and technology that shape our world. Their conversation touches on financial history through The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson and William Bagehot's The Money Market, the rise and fall of financial centers from London to New York and the new Texas Stock Exchange, the consolidation of industries and the theory of oligarchical collectivism, the role of AI as both tool and chaos agent, Bitcoin and āquantitative re-centralization,ā the dynamics of exponential organizations, and the balance between collectivism and individualism. Jagdeo also shares recruiting philosophies rooted in stories like āstone soup,ā frameworks like Yu-Kai Chou's Octalysis and the User Type Hexad, and book recommendations including Salim Ismail's Exponential Organizations and Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation. Along the way they explore servant leadership, Price's Law, Linux and open source futures, religion as an operating system, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. You can learn more about Michael Jagdeo or reach out to him directly through Twitter or LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Michael Jagdeo, who shares his path from headhunting actuaries and IT talent into launching startups with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate.00:10 They connect recruiting to financial history, discussing actuaries, The Ascent of Money, and William Bagehot's The Money Market on the London money market and railways.00:15 The Rothschilds, institutional knowledge, and Corn Laws lead into questions about New York as a financial center and the quiet launch of the Texas Stock Exchange by Citadel and BlackRock.00:20 Capital power, George Soros vs. the Bank of England, chaos, paper clips, and Orwell's oligarchical collectivism frame industry consolidation, syndicates, and stone soup.00:25 They debate imperial conquest, bourgeoisie leisure, the decline of the middle class, AI as chaos agent, digital twins, Sarah Connor, Godzilla, and nuclear metaphors.00:30 Conversation turns to Bitcoin, āquantitative re-centralization,ā Jack Bogle, index funds, Robinhood micro bailouts, and AI as both entropy and negative entropy.00:35 Jagdeo discusses Jim Keller, Tenstorrent, RISC-V, Nvidia CUDA, exponential organizations, Price's Law, bureaucracy, and servant leadership with the parable of stone soup.00:40 Recruiting as symbiosis, biophilia, trust, Judas, Wilhelm Reich, AI tools, Octalysis gamification, Jordan vs. triangle offense, and the role of laughter in persuasion emerge.00:45 They explore religion as operating systems, Greek gods, Comte's stages, Nietzsche, Jung, nostalgia, scientism, and Jordan Peterson's revival of tradition.00:50 The episode closes with Linux debates, Ubuntu, Framer laptops, PewDiePie, and Jagdeo's nod to Liminal Snake on epistemic centers and turning curses into blessings.Key InsightsOne of the central insights of the conversation is how financial history repeats through cycles of consolidation and power shifts. Michael Jagdeo draws on William Bagehot's The Money Market to explain how London became the hub of European finance, much like New York later did, and how the Texas Stock Exchange signals a possible southern resurgence of financial influence in America. The pattern of wealth moving with institutional shifts underscores how markets, capital, and politics remain intertwined.Jagdeo and Alsop emphasize that industries naturally oligarchize. Borrowing from Orwell's āoligarchical collectivism,ā Jagdeo notes that whether in diamonds, food, or finance, consolidation emerges as economies of scale take over. This breeds syndicates and monopolies, often interpreted as conspiracies but really the predictable outcome of industrial maturation.Another powerful theme is the stone soup model of collaboration. Jagdeo applies this parable to recruiting, showing that no single individual can achieve large goals alone. By framing opportunities as shared ventures where each person adds their own ingredient, leaders can attract top talent while fostering genuine symbiosis.Technology, and particularly AI, is cast as both chaos agent and amplifier of human potential. The conversation likens AI to nuclear powerācapable of great destruction or progress. From digital twins to Sarah Connor metaphors, they argue AI represents not just artificial intelligence but artificial knowledge and action, pushing humans to adapt quickly to its disruptive presence.The discussion of Bitcoin and digital currencies reframes decentralization as potentially another trap. Jagdeo provocatively calls Bitcoin āquantitative re-centralization,ā suggesting that far from liberating individuals, digital currencies may accelerate neo-feudalism by creating new oligarchies and consolidating financial control in unexpected ways.Exponential organizations and the leverage of small teams emerge as another key point. Citing Price's Law, Jagdeo explains how fewer than a dozen highly capable individuals can now achieve billion-dollar valuations thanks to open source hardware, AI, and network effects. This trend redefines scale, making nimble collectives more powerful than bureaucratic giants.Finally, the episode highlights the cyclical nature of civilizations and belief systems. From Rome vs. Carthage to Greek gods shifting with societal needs, to Nietzsche's āGod is deadā and Jung's view of recurring deaths of divinity, Jagdeo argues that religion, ideology, and operating systems reflect underlying incentives. Western nostalgia for past structures, whether political or religious, risks idolatry, while the real path forward may lie in new blends of individualism, collectivism, and adaptive tools like Linux and AI.

The 5-day SPX chart shows a double bottom that occurred between Wednesday's and Thursday's trading sessions, a bullish indicator according to Kevin Green. One concern he shares is the bid size of SPX futures higher than the ask size, showing interest from bears in the index. Bulls are showing strength when it comes to market depth.

6,500 is the new level Kevin Green is watching when it comes to resistance in the SPX, though it will face headwinds on Thursday's session following a hotter-than-expected PPI print. He's watching two bullish signals developing in other pockets. One is in the 10YR-3MO yield spread, as Kevin notes its consolidation remains bullish for stocks. He later turns to technicals in the healthcare space as a bullish cross forms in the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Union Pacificās $88 billion bid for Norfolk Southern could usher in a new era for the North American railroad industry if the companies can show the Surface Transportation Board that the deal will enhance competition and is in the public interest. In this Talking Transports podcast, Tony Hatch, founder and president of ABH Consulting, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about the merits and challenges of a possible merger between the two large railroads. UP and NS will need to make their case to all stakeholders, which include shippers, workers, Norfolk shareholders and regulators, who could be the most difficult to persuade. The downstream effect of a deal or perceived likelihood of regulatory approval could lead to further consolidation among Class I carriers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
