Five months after a 32-year-old man was rescued from a Waterbury home where he was allegedly held captive, DCF spoke candidly to members of Connecticut's Children's Committee. On that committee and private zoom call was Shelton Senator Jason Perillo. He shared what came out of the meeting and what happens next. IMAGE CREDIT: Melissa Sheketoff
In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with LiquidStack CEO Joe Capes about the company's breakthrough GigaModular platform — the industry's first scalable, modular Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) purpose-built for direct-to-chip liquid cooling. With rack densities accelerating beyond 120 kW and headed toward 600 kW, LiquidStack is targeting the real-world requirements of AI data centers while streamlining complexity and future-proofing thermal design. “AI will keep pushing thermal output to new extremes,” Capes tells DCF. “Data centers need cooling systems that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled to match heat rejection demands as they rise.” LiquidStack's new GigaModular CDU, unveiled at the 2025 Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes, delivers up to 10 MW of scalable cooling capacity. It's designed to support single-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling — a shift from the company's earlier two-phase immersion roots — via a skidded modular design with a pay-as-you-grow approach. The platform's flexibility enables deployments at N, N+1, or N+2 resiliency. “We designed it to be the only CDU our customers will ever need,” Capes says. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion, which goes on to explore why edge infrastructure and EV adoption will drive the next wave of sector innovation.
3 state agencies are responsible for taking and investigating allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Those agencies are the Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), the Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), and the Department of Children and Families (DCF). These agencies may refer alleged perpetrators to 3 state licensure boards: the Board of Healing Arts, the Board of Nursing, and the Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board. The state's process for investigating allegations and identifying perpetrators is complicated and fragmented. State law is also unclear about agencies' responsibilities. We found KDADS and DCF keep registries of perpetrators, but KDHE does not. KDHE doesn't investigate allegations of ANE because KDHE officials believe they lack the authority to do so. We also identified issues with how agencies refer allegations to each other. These issues suggest not all suspected perpetrators get investigated and that agencies' registries may be incomplete.
This week, we welcome a returning guest back to the Value Perspective. Adam Rozencwajg is the co-founder and Managing Director of Goehring and Rozencwajg. His first appearance on the podcast came back in 2024 in a special episode hosted by Django Davidson and Juan Torres-Rodriguez, that quicky became one of the most downloaded in the show's history. This time, our discussion with Adam focuses on the realities of deep value investing in the commodities space. Special thanks to Elliott Plotkin from Kopernik Global Investors for sending over their paper Why Invest in Mining Companies, that helped shape our conversation. Adam shares his views on why he runs a long-only commodity boutique instead of a hedge fund; what it means to be a deep value investor in this sector; the mental frameworks he and his team use to improve decision making; and why traditional DCF models may fall short when valuing mining companies. Adam also tackles the role of gold in today's economic environment. Enjoy! NEW EPISODES: We release main series episodes every two weeks on Mondays.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度,雪球,国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台,聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫企业应如何提升ROE水平?来自淳哥来了。一、从杜邦分析法角度看如何提升ROE根据经典的杜邦分析方法,ROE可拆解为利润率、周转率、杠杆率三者的乘积。要提升ROE,从财务分析的角度,可从这三个方面入手。这其中,利润率可理解为单位产品的盈利能力,是个“质”的概念。比如同样生产销售一台2000元的手机,质量一样,但我的技术、管理等先进,成本控制能力强,我能挣500元,你只能挣250元,我的利润率就是你的两倍。周转率更多的指示“量”的指标。我们的投入资金一样,但我周转快,资金使用效率高,同样时期内,我生产了2000台手机,你只生产了1000台,我赚的就比你多。利润率与周转率两个指标,考验的是企业的产品力、管理能力等“供给侧”的硬功夫。而杠杆率则是通过贷入资本、扩大产能的方式这种硬功夫进行复制、放大。加大杠杆后,公司的资本结构中,债权资本增加,自有资本得以节省,分母变小,从而提升ROE水平。这三者中,前两者的提升难度比较大,它们更多地体现企业经营质量。而杠杆率的提升则相对容易一些,但它会带来企业财务风险上升。高杠杆企业一旦发生债务违约,引发挤兑,后果非常严重。一般来说,如果上市公司杠杆率过高,会导致市场评级下降,这会被直接计入股价,而由之带来的ROE提升对股价的正面影响也会被抵消。也就是说,不同于前两者,杠杆率的提升是有限度的,只有合理的杠杆率,才会对企业盈利与估值产生正面作用,过犹不及。而前两者,则基本上是多多益善。杜邦分析法指示了提升ROE的正道、康庄大道,无非就是努力提高企业的利润率与周转率,并合理利用杠杆。二、分红与回购如何提升ROE除此之外,在资本市场的具体运作中,还有一些技术、“窍门”等也被用来提升 ROE,并对股价产生实际的影响。比如美股备受瞩目的长期高分红与回购。美股甚至被冠以“回购牛”——回购带来的牛市,似有投机取巧之嫌。分红提升ROE的逻辑是,在公司期末,净利润总额、总股本一定的情况下,分红会减少公司净资产,每股净资产减少,每股净收益却不变,也就是分子不变,分母变小,从而提升ROE。回购提升ROE的逻辑是,在公司期末,净利润总额一定的情况下,减少总股本,会导致每股净收益增大。同时,只要回购价格高于1倍市净率,就会导致每股净资产变小。这样,作为分子的每股净收益变大,而作为分母的每股净资产变小。于是ROE提升。可见,这两种提升ROE的方式都是在公司净利润总额没有变化的前提下,玩了点“小戏法”,临时“偷换”了分子与分母,从而使ROE提升。但市场对这两种方式是认可的,这两种方式一般都能实实在在地提高股价,原因如下。分红理论上说不过是把本就属于股东的钱发给股东,但它却表明了企业的实力。只有真赚了钱,且赚到了真钱,而不是“假钱”,才敢大比例分红。另外,它也表明了公司回馈股东的诚意。不像某些融资市,大股东毫无公众公司意识,来市场只为圈钱,圈到即赚到,不论利润还是股东投入,在其眼中都是自己的私产,为什么要分给别人?总之,公司能持续大额分红,就是用真金白银向市场传达公司经营良好、现金流充沛、管理层“德才兼备”的信号,给市场以信心。回购是增资扩股等融资行为的反面,它不是向市场要钱,“抽血”,而是企业向市场“归还”资金的行为,也是要实打实地消耗真金白银、消耗公司现金流的,因而也跟分红一样,向市场表明了企业的实力。回购还向市场传达了管理层看好企业前景的信心,并对股票直接形成买压。基于以上原因,分红与回购都是受市场欢迎的,能够实实在在地提高股价。但回购的逻辑要比分红复杂得多。三、回购的复杂性在美国,回购一开始是作为上市公司分红的替代方案出现的。上世纪70年代,美国经济“滞胀”,政府为刺激经济,促进投资,限制上市公司现金分红,于是上市公司是采用回购注销股票的方式来回报投资者。也就是说,从宏观来看,回购有缩减社会投资规模的作用。我国在2018年放松回购限制就有这方面的考虑,即让企业把收益更多地回馈股东,而不是留在体内继续投资,以抑制产能过剩,优化产业结构。用回购来替代分红还能起到避税作用——红利税要高于资本利得税。而且,回购会在二级市场形成对自家股票的买压,能直接提升股价,这也是其优于分红的地方。大额现金回购不仅可以起到跟分红一样向市场“亮肌肉”的作用,它还向市场传达了公司管理层认为股价低于其内在价值,值得投资的信号,并且用真金白银来表明这种信心。从另外一个角度来看,回购与分红的重要不同还在于,分红本质上来说是把企业资产返还给投资者,对所有投资者来说都是收回了一部分投资,而回购则不同,回购本质上是一部分投资者收回了投资,而另一部分投资者加大了投资。在回购过程中,卖出股票者收回投资,退出。而对剩余的仍持有股票者来说,他们持有的公司份额比例变大了,这是公司管理层替他们做出的投资决策,即他们购买了退出者的股份。如果购买价格大于1倍市净率,则他们持有的股份对应的公司净资产实际上是减少了。所以这里就引出关于回购的一个争议,就是既然是一种投资行为,就有好坏对错之分,并不是所有的回购对留下来的股东都是好的。判断的标准就是是股票回购价格是否低于其“内在价值”。如果回购价格过高,就是一笔亏本生意,最终会损害到留下来坚守的股东们的利益,所以回购是考验管理层判断力的。与回购相比,分红的争议则较少,道德风险较低。企业多分红基本上都是受欢迎的:公司管理层、大股东慷慨大方,不把企业视为自己的私人帝国,愿意把本可自己支配、“挥霍”的现金分享给广大中小投资者,把再投资的决策权留给大家。基于对人类普遍的自私本性的认知,这样的管理层、大股东一般被认为是难得的、值得称赞的。当然,在现实世界中,股票的“内在价值”是很难确定的,它就是按DCF模型计算出来的企业未来全部自由现金流的折现,这是价值投资的终极问题。如果内在价值是已知的,那么投资就是世界上最简单的事了,因为剩下的就只是“比大小”的明牌。所以在现实世界中,能持续大量回购的公司,一般也不会遭受以上非议,市场基本上都会给予正面的回应,获得信心,提振股价。
Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Sonia Gupta, Partner and Co-Head of Biotech Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs. Sonia walks us through her unique journey—from studying public health at Brown, to working in healthcare consulting, to getting her MBA at MIT, and ultimately climbing the ranks at Goldman to become a senior leader advising some of the most innovative biotech companies in the world. We dive deep into what it's like to enter banking post-MBA, how her academic background shaped her approach to the job, and why healthcare—particularly biotech—is such a distinct and intellectually demanding coverage group.We explore the nuances of biotech investment banking: how to value companies that often have no revenue, how the space intersects with venture capital and tech, and why the work often feels more like strategic consulting than traditional M&A. Sonia breaks down the DCF models she and her team build—sometimes stretching 25 years—and the real-life decision-making that goes into supporting clients whose work could lead to the next blockbuster cancer drug or cure for a rare genetic disease. We also talk about how healthcare banking is segmented within the broader investment banking ecosystem and what it really means to be a “coverage banker” at Goldman.Finally, we discuss analyst exit opportunities, how banks like Goldman are thinking about retention, and what it's like building a career—and a family—while advising high-growth companies from San Francisco. Sonia's insights are thoughtful, candid, and inspiring, especially for anyone considering a career in investment banking or healthcare. Whether you're curious about the real-world utility of an MBA, the biotech IPO market, or what it means to grow into true subject matter expertise over time, this episode offers a fascinating window into one of the most complex and purpose-driven sectors on Wall Street.Our Investment Banking and Private Equity Foundations course is LIVEnow with our M&A course included!

Ethereum has achieved groundbreaking technological success, but has it failed to properly define ETH the asset? In this episode, Frax founder Sam Kazemian joins us to discuss what he believes is Ethereum's biggest mistake: confusing the ETH asset with Ethereum the technology. Sam argues that post-EIP-1559 and Proof of Stake, ETH unintentionally shifted toward a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model, undermining its potential as a commodity-like store of value. We explore how the Ethereum community can reclaim a stronger narrative around ETH and why social consensus — not just tech — determines an asset's destiny. ------
Today we give the straight talk on the state of the economy that operators running tech companies need to hear. We cover:* Ripple Effects: Even if your company doesn't ship atoms, your customers probably do. Expect slower procurement, deferred renewals, and CFOs eyeing legacy tools.* Investor Vibes: Market uncertainty = deal drag. Think longer diligence cycles, cautious boards, and DCF models sweating in real time.* ERP Economics: When Nike gets budget clotheslined, your cloud spend might too. The trickle-down is real.* Hiring Freeze Incoming: Some MBA grads might be ghosted before day one. And no, Nike won't double hire next year to make up for it.* Winners in the Wreckage: Recommerce, maintenance software, parts platforms, and demand planning tools could quietly shine.* Finance Playbook: Monthly budget reviews, cautious hiring, flexible vendor contracts, and employee comms that treat folks like grownups.* Operational Clarity: Turbulent markets are a great time to re-educate teams on “how we make money here.” Finance literacy = strategic clarity.* Sponsor Shoutout: Gelt for Mostly Metrics—proactive tax strategy for high-growth CFOs who want more than just compliance. go.joingelt.com/mostlymetrics Get full access to Mostly metrics at www.mostlymetrics.com/subscribe

Sam Smink from WFSB discusses the ongoing Waterbury case and maybe an important question in the case should be why DCF didn't conduct check-ups of the kid after being pulled out of school for home schooling. Is this something that could be introduced because of this?
Beta measures systematic risk...great to know, but what do we do with it? In today's episode we'll walk through how to un-lever and re-lever beta based on the capital structure of a target business that you're valuing (e.g. for a DCF analysis).Contact: investmentbankinginsights@gmail.com
In this highly requested video, I'll show you how to easily tell if a stock is expensive or cheap using a Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, analysis. You'll learn why knowing a stock's true value matters if you're aiming for better returns, and I'll clear up the difference between price and value. I'll walk you through when DCFs make sense—and when they don't—plus share key tips and common mistakes to watch out for. I'll also explain why waiting to buy a stock when it's cheap (or sell when it's overpriced) isn't the same thing as trying to time the market. Finally, I'll show my favorite online tool that can visually show you if a stock is expensive or cheap, saving you a lot of time that manual DCFs can take, though I still encourage you to learn how to do them.

Slam the Gavel welcomes John Scott from Florida to the podcast. John is the victim of multiple DCF Civil Rights Violations by a caseworker that has since left DCF. It all started November 6th, 2023. The caseworker, B. Bachelor, was rude, made malicious insinuations and wanted John to go into detail about DV that was done to him by his ex while in front of the children. This caseworker criminally conspired with multiple members of the Okaloosa County, FL Sheriff's Department to have him arrested for allegedly being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. However, there was a paperwork issue.... Where is the accountability?? John discussed his story and has a 2023 arrest case sealed by a Federal Judge and a 2022 Civil Rights Violation case sealed as well. John has court on April 7th, 2025 and has reached out to 200 law firms and found one that deals with DCF cases. John is trying to get the retainer together to be represented by Rapier Law Firm from Illinois.

In this Florida Man Friday episode, Ky tells you the case of Diane Natasha Mack, a former child welfare worker whose actions led to the tragic death of her adopted daughter, Selena. The narrative begins with a seemingly routine 911 call: a mother reporting her unresponsive child. However, what unfolds next is a shocking revelation of abuse and neglect that raises serious questions about the child welfare system. When first responders arrived, they found a malnourished 13-year-old child covered in wounds, a grim reflection of the systemic horrors that had transpired in Diane's home.As we explore the timeline of events, it quickly becomes apparent that Diane's initial claims about her daughter's condition were fabricated. Instead of calling for help immediately, she opted to drive her other children two and a half hours away. This decision to delay medical assistance underscores a chilling narrative of neglect and potential premeditation. The investigation into Diane's home revealed further evidence of sustained abuse, including shackles and blood-stained restraints, highlighting the level of violence and control exerted over Selena. The findings at the crime scene were so disturbing that Sheriff Paul Blackman described it as one of the most shocking cases he had ever encountered.Throughout the episode, we bring to light Diane's background as a Department of Children and Families (DCF) worker, a role that ironically positioned her to protect vulnerable children rather than harm them. My discussion emphasizes the immense failure of the child welfare system, questioning how someone with such a background could adopt children and then subject them to such deplorable treatment. As I break down Diane's history and her stint as a court-appointed guardian ad litem, I confront systemic issues within the DCF — from overwhelmed caseworkers handling excessive caseloads to the alarming lack of proper oversight that allowed this abuse to occur unnoticed.We also hear from Selena's biological mother, Jennifer, who lost custody years prior and desperately sought to reunite with her daughter. Her emotional pleas resonate throughout the episode, serving as a stark reminder of the human cost when child welfare systems fail. As the ramifications of Diane's actions unfold, I discuss the ongoing legal proceedings, including the charges of first-degree murder and the state's pursuit of the death penalty, and reflect on the broader implications for child welfare policies in Florida.As I wrap up the episode, I reflect on the critical need for reform within the DCF and the urgent call to action regarding child protective services nationwide. The tragedy of Selena's case is more than just a singular horror; it reveals widespread systemic failures that place countless children at risk. I encourage listeners to engage with this case and share their thoughts, stressing the need for awareness and accountability in the fight for children's rights and safety. The episode serves as a grim reminder that we must not turn a blind eye; each child deserves protection and care, and it's up to us to advocate for systemic change.********************************************************************************Sources:https://www.myfloridanews.com/news/southwest/sebring-woman-charged-with-murder-and-abuse-of-adopted-daughter/article_2e36efcc-5ca9-5cbb-bdb3-9f17264f1405.htmlhttps://www.lawyerherald.com/articles/60882/20241118/daughter-dead-garage-florida-child-welfare-worker-abuse-bruised-diane-natasha-mack.htmhttps://www.wfla.com/news/highlands-county/ex-department-of-children-and-families-worker-accused-of-killing-teen-daughter/https://people.com/dcf-worker-charged-murder-daughter-found-naked-emaciated-diaper-8747303https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-woman-charged-murder-abuse-death-adopted-daughter-13**********************************************************************************HOW TO SUPPORT LOVE AND MURDER:
In this episode we are discussing the collaborative efforts of DCF & DHS around how to support youth with developmental disabilities to transition into the adult care system. We talk about what supports are available and what resources families can utilize to help with this transition.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Pieter Slegers to the show. Pieter is the founder of Compounding Quality, an investment newsletter that boasts more than 440,000 subscribers. Pieter kicks things off by sharing how he got his start in asset management, why he began investing in U.S. stocks, and the difference between value investing and quality investing. This leads to a discussion about Warren Buffett's impressive track record and one particular software company that Pieter likes today. He breaks down several criteria he uses when looking for investment opportunities – including founder-led businesses, long-tenured CEOs, and wide moats – and how exactly he narrows down his list. (1:40) Next, Pieter talks about the evolution of his successful X account that he began anonymously but eventually put his face on after it gained a lot of attention. As Pieter emphasizes, if you're taking investment advice from someone, that person should be invested alongside you and have skin in the game. For that reason, Pieter is looking to launch an investment fund later this year. Pieter then lists off a few companies he likes today and discusses the importance of investing in growing end markets. (20:30) Finally, Pieter gives his thoughts on the balancing act between paying high valuations for good companies versus missing an opportunity to own a great business. As Pieter details, it's all about an investor's individual risk tolerance and whichever strategy works best for them. Pieter also covers the flaws in discounted cash flow ("DCF") models, two companies that are overpriced today based on reverse DCF, and the three valuation methods he personally uses. (37:47)

Imagine someone offers you a golden hen. A real, egg-laying golden hen. Now, here's the question: How much would you pay for it? Most people would start by asking, “How many golden eggs does it lay? How often? Are the eggs pure gold or just gold-plated?” Congratulations—if you thought that way, you've just tapped into the essence of DCF, or Discounted Cash Flow, which is one of the ways we value a business as investors. Now, DCF isn't just a way to value a hen—or a business. It's a way to think. A mindset. And once you adopt this frame of mind, it changes how you invest forever. Let's discuss this more in today's episode of the #TheInnerGame #podcast.
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Winooksi, Vermont, to discuss the case of Peighton Geraw, a toddler who fell through the cracks of DCF. After presenting with unusual bruising, Vermont DCF Investigator John Salter paid a visit to the family home. At that time, little Peighton was possibly already dead, but the Investigator had no clue as he failed to conduct a physical inspection of the little boy. He was just 14 months and 25 days old. According to the autopsy findings, Peighton showed signs of shaken baby syndrome. He had multiple injuries to the top of his head, a forehead injury, neck injuries, damage to the retinal nerves in both eyes, and brain bleeding. He also had a lower leg fracture. His mother, Nytosha Marie Laforce, only served 4 years for his death.

In 2020, the Hartmans grow even more isolated as Covid hits: Sophie pulls C out of school citing worsening health and breaks with the church community who've been supporting her and her daughters. Concerns for abuse grow as Sophie begins to push a new narrative that C has central precocious puberty (CPP), a condition that causes the body to go through puberty prematurely, After making an initial DCF report in 2019 and tracking Sophie's demands for increasingly invasive procedures: Seattle Children's Child Abuse Team files an official report to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Her daughters are subsequently placed in protective custody and Sophie is charged with assault of a child in the second degree. We hear from the Seattle reporter who broke the story, Olivia LaVoice and dig into the extensive documentation from the investigation with Detective Michael Lee, a major crimes detective in Texas and co-founder of the National Crimes Against Children Investigators Association..

In today's episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, DCF's editors speak with hyperscale data center industry veteran Yuval Bachar, founder and CEO of hydrogen data center operator EdgeCloudLink (ECL). Bachar has held data center leadership positions with Microsoft Azure, LinkedIn, Facebook, Cisco, and Juniper Networks. He was a founder of the Open19 project, which creates open hardware designs for enterprise users, and holds eight U.S. patents in data center, networking and system design. During the interview, we asked Bachar about ECL's flagship hydrogen data center projects near Houston, TX and Mountain View, CA. He went on to outline ECL's future plans for expansion and sustainability in response to growing AI demands. Within the context of Bachar's forecast outlook for hydrogen data centers, DCF's editors also inquired about natural gas as a transitional power source and the challenges of natural gas infrastructure. With the AI boom is driving heavy interest in the upsides of hydrogen data centers, Bachar also took time to emphasize his company's ongoing commitments to sustainable data centers, as reflected by the industry at large. Our hydrogen production strategy discussion also touched on hyperscalers' intense needs for new energy solutions, before circling back around to sustainability in data center operations. Phased Development During our interview, Bachar said that ECL is expanding its hydrogen data center business with a focus on Texas, aiming for 100 megawatts in the first phase of campus development there and additional phases every six months. The company plans to complete four sites in the next four to five years, contingent on hydrogen availability and supply chain capabilities. He emphasized that the urgency for data centers to meet AI demand is critical, citing estimates of the industry needing 50 to 100 gigawatts of power in the next five years, while highlighting the importance of rapid deployment and sustainable practices. He further noted that ECL is positioned as a significant off-taker for hydrogen, influencing suppliers to invest in cleaner hydrogen production facilities. Bachar underlined his company's sustainability bona fides by stating, "We can deliver data centers which are fully sustainable right now." He noted that ECL aims to use a blend of gray and blue hydrogen initially in its data centers, transitioning to green hydrogen as production increases.

In 2000, 4-year-old Rilya Wilson was living with her sister and foster parents, Pamela Graham and Geralyn Graham, in the Miami, Florida area. During this time, Rilya was still under the care of The Florida Department of Children and Families. In April 2002, a new caseworker was assigned to oversee her care, but when they visited the home, her foster parents claimed that DCF had removed Rilya from their custody nearly two years prior. Unable to locate any record of this, Rilya was reported missing. However, it wasn't long before the truth about the Grahams and DCF came to light, exposing the many failures in Rilya's case. If you have any information about Rilya Wilson, contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at (850) 410-8161. For more information about the show, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com.
