Dearest Gentle Listeners,In today's episode we begin thinking we can tackle all of the great sibling love stories of Bridgerton, but in true Tangent Queen fashion, were seriously underestimating our abilities to deep deep dive and therefore, today's episode will only focus on our OG couple - Daphne and Simon, affectionately known as Dimon.Yours Truly,The Ladies Bridgerton
Jerome met Trump, Trump yelled "Cut Rates," and Powell clutched his “Data Dependent” sign like a life raft. In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil dissect the political theater behind a rare Oval Office showdown between the Fed Chair and the former President. Spoiler: Jamie Dimon's lurking in the background muttering “I told you so,” and Uncle Elon's possibly staging a PR divorce from Trump just to win back California Tesla buyers. The guys break it all down — from media optics to real economic implications — with sarcasm, stats, and side-eyes.➡️ Plus, the housing market's got more cracks than your uncle's drywall job. A record-breaking gap between sellers and buyers has the guys asking if affordability is even real anymore, or just something we say to feel better. Sprinkle in some hard truths about wage stagnation, a cameo from Saied's son Adam (who steals the show), and a breakdown of why “the American dream” now requires a $300K salary and a therapist. This one hits hard — and hits funny.

From inside the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, it is clear that the new era of cryptocurrency is here and fully backed by the Trump administration. Listen to Vice-President JD Vance's remarks to the crowd of over 40,000 crypto-faithful, and wander the aisles of the exhibit hall at The Venetian and the walls between the traditional financial system and decentralized finance are melting. Plus, the White House's aggressive tariff policy was temporarily blocked by a federal trade court, but the president has many more methods of extracting tariffs from our trading partners and he's used them before. The tariff war is far from over, but CEOs like Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan are more worried about the war we are waging with the 'enemy within'. Listen to Dimon's comments from the Reagan Economic Forum last week.

April 25, 2025 - Equipped 2025 - Day 2 - 2:30PM Session Caleb leads a bible study over Isaiah 13-23. Isaiah 13-19 - Proclamation Against Babylon 13 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. 2 “Lift up a banner on the high mountain, Raise your voice to them; Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles. 3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger— Those who rejoice in My exaltation.” 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The Lord of hosts musters The army for battle. 5 They come from a far country, From the end of heaven— The Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land. 6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man's heart will melt, 8 And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; Their faces will be like flames. 9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. 11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger. 14 It shall be as the hunted gazelle, And as a sheep that no man takes up; Every man will turn to his own people, And everyone will flee to his own land. 15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through, And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword. 16 Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished. 17 “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, Who will not regard silver; And as for gold, they will not delight in it. 18 Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces, And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb; Their eye will not spare children. 19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 20 It will never be inhabited, Nor will it be settled from generation to generation; Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there, Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there. 21 But wild beasts of the desert will lie there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches will dwell there, And wild goats will caper there. 22 The hyenas will howl in their citadels, And jackals in their pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, And her days will not be prolonged.” Mercy on Jacob 14 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. 2 Then people will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors. Fall of the King of Babylon 3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, 4 that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: “How the oppressor has ceased, The golden city ceased! 5 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of the rulers; 6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, He who ruled the nations in anger, Is persecuted and no one hinders. 7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet; They break forth into singing. 8 Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, And the cedars of Lebanon, Saying, ‘Since you were cut down, No woodsman has come up against us.' 9 “Hell from beneath is excited about you, To meet you at your coming; It stirs up the dead for you, All the chief ones of the earth; It has raised up from their thrones All the kings of the nations. 10 They all shall speak and say to you: ‘Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us? 11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is spread under you, And worms cover you.' The Fall of Lucifer 12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. 16 “Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, 17 Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?' 18 “All the kings of the nations, All of them, sleep in glory, Everyone in his own house; 19 But you are cast out of your grave Like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, Thrust through with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a corpse trodden underfoot. 20 You will not be joined with them in burial, Because you have destroyed your land And slain your people. The brood of evildoers shall never be named. 21 Prepare slaughter for his children Because of the iniquity of their fathers, Lest they rise up and possess the land, And fill the face of the world with cities.” Babylon Destroyed 22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts, “And cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord. 23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, And marshes of muddy water; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts. Assyria Destroyed 24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand: 25 That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders. 26 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27 For the Lord of hosts has purposed, And who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, And who will turn it back?” Philistia Destroyed 28 This is the burden which came in the year that King Ahaz died. 29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For out of the serpent's roots will come forth a viper, And its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent. 30 The firstborn of the poor will feed, And the needy will lie down in safety; I will kill your roots with famine, And it will slay your remnant. 31 Wail, O gate! Cry, O city! All you of Philistia are dissolved; For smoke will come from the north, And no one will be alone in his appointed times.” 32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord has founded Zion, And the poor of His people shall take refuge in it. Proclamation Against Moab 15 The burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, 2 He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, To the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off. 3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses And in their streets Everyone will wail, weeping bitterly. 4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, Their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz; Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out; His life will be burdensome to him. 5 “My heart will cry out for Moab; His fugitives shall flee to Zoar, Like a three-year-old heifer. For by the Ascent of Luhith They will go up with weeping; For in the way of Horonaim They will raise up a cry of destruction, 6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, For the green grass has withered away; The grass fails, there is nothing green. 7 Therefore the abundance they have gained, And what they have laid up, They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows. 8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab, Its wailing to Eglaim And its wailing to Beer Elim. 9 For the waters of Dimon will be full of blood; Because I will bring more upon Dimon, Lions upon him who escapes from Moab, And on the remnant of the land.” Moab Destroyed 16 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela to the wilderness, To the mount of the daughter of Zion. 2 For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest; So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon. 3 “Take counsel, execute judgment; Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day; Hide the outcasts, Do not betray him who escapes. 4 Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Moab; Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler. For the extortioner is at an end, Devastation ceases, The oppressors are consumed out of the land. 5 In mercy the throne will be established; And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.” 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab— He is very proud— Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath; But his lies shall not be so. 7 Therefore Moab shall wail for Moab; Everyone shall wail. For the foundations of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn; Surely they are stricken. 8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, And the vine of Sibmah; The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants, Which have reached to Jazer And wandered through the wilderness. Her branches are stretched out, They are gone over the sea. 9 Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah, With the weeping of Jazer; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For battle cries have fallen Over your summer fruits and your harvest. 10 Gladness is taken away, And joy from the plentiful field; In the vineyards there will be no singing, Nor will there be shouting; No treaders will tread out wine in the presses; I have made their shouting cease. 11 Therefore my heart shall resound like a harp for Moab, And my inner being for Kir Heres. 12 And it shall come to pass, When it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, That he will come to his sanctuary to pray; But he will not prevail. 13 This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time. 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble.” Proclamation Against Syria and Israel 17 The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid. 3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the Lord of hosts. 4 “In that day it shall come to pass That the glory of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh grow lean. 5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain, And reaps the heads with his arm; It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain In the Valley of Rephaim. 6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it, Like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough, Four or five in its most fruitful branches,” Says the Lord God of Israel. 7 In that day a man will look to his Maker, And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel. 8 He will not look to the altars, The work of his hands; He will not respect what his fingers have made, Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars. 9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough And an uppermost branch, Which they left because of the children of Israel; And there will be desolation. 10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, Therefore you will plant pleasant plants And set out foreign seedlings; 11 In the day you will make your plant to grow, And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins In the day of grief and desperate sorrow. 12 Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas, And to the rushing of nations That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble! And before the morning, he is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, And the lot of those who rob us. Proclamation Against Ethiopia 18 Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings, Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, 2 Which sends ambassadors by sea, Even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying, “Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin, To a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide.” 3 All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth: When he lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see it; And when he blows a trumpet, you hear it. 4 For so the Lord said to me, “I will take My rest, And I will look from My dwelling place Like clear heat in sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.” 5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect And the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks And take away and cut down the branches. 6 They will be left together for the mountain birds of prey And for the beasts of the earth; The birds of prey will summer on them, And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them. 7 In that time a present will be brought to the Lord of hosts From a people tall and smooth of skin, And from a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide— To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, To Mount Zion. Proclamation Against Egypt 19 The burden against Egypt. Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud, And will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. 2 “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom. 3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. 4 And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a cruel master, And a fierce king will rule over them,” Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts. 5 The waters will fail from the sea, And the river will be wasted and dried up. 6 The rivers will turn foul; The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither. 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more. 8 The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River, And they will languish who spread nets on the waters. 9 Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed; 10 And its foundations will be broken. All who make wages will be troubled of soul. 11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh's wise counselors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?” 12 Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now, And let them know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt. 13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; The princes of Noph are deceived; They have also deluded Egypt, Those who are the mainstay of its tribes. 14 The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do. 16 In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He waves over it. 17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts which He has determined against it. Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed 18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction. 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. 20 And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them. 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land, 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.” Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJxCvbZt-v0 Duration 41:11

The White House and Beijing are trading salvos in the trade war over broken agreements and threats over semiconductor exports. Plus, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has a dire warning for the bond market that all investors need to hear. And with Elon Musk wrapping up his time as a special government employee, we ask Wedbush's Dan Ives about what it means for Tesla's future.
En el Radar Empresarial analizamos quién podría sustituir a Jamie Dimon como CEO de J.P Morgan. En 2028, Dimon dejará el cargo y ya hay varios candidatos para ocupar uno de los cargos con más poder y responsabilidad del mundo. La bomba se soltó el pasado 21 de mayo, en el día del Inversor de la compañía, donde Dimon dejó claro “su sucesión no iba a esperar cinco años”. Además, el que venga no solo tendrá que igualar el impacto económico que ha dejado en la empresa. Su figura también es muy relevante dentro de los círculos más importantes e influyentes de Estados Unidos. Al estilo de Warren Buffet o Ray Dalio, también se atreve a analizar la economía estadounidense. Es por eso, que el perfil que le sustituya tendrá que ser igual de “mediático” que el de Dimon. Su impacto es tal que el miedo al cambio ha provocado el fenómeno conocido como “prima Jamie”: es la pérdida de valor que se produciría en el momento en que marche Jamie Dimon. Algunos analistas apuntan a que esta pérdida podría ser superior al 10%, aunque también podría ser menos si se hace de una forma más estructurada. Por eso la búsqueda del sustituto llega 3 años antes. ¿Esta prima Jamie podría ser realidad? ¿Quién puede ser la persona que asuma tal responsabilidad? Al contrario que en Berkshire Hathaway, donde Warren Buffet si tenía claro que Greg Abel era el idóneo para sustituirla en J.P Morgan no hay nada claro. Porque sus caballos ganadores se han retirado de la carrera antes de empezarla. El favorito en las apuestas era Daniel Pinto, presidente y director de operaciones de la compañía, pero en enero anunció su retirada de J.P Morgan. De Pinto, Dimon dijo el último día de los inversores de la empresa que “había sido un socio excepcional durante todos estos años”. Otro de los nombres que más fuerza ha cobrado en los últimos años ha sido el de Jennifer Piepszak, directora de operaciones, pero también ha dejado claro que su deseo no es ocupar el cargo de CEO. Eso hace que queden solo dos candidatos a sustituir a Dimon, según la revista Fortune: Marianne Lake , directora ejecutiva de banca de consumo y comunitaria y Troy Rohrbaugh , codirector ejecutivo de banca comercial y de inversión (CIB). Lo que está claro es que el candidato parece estar en casa. El impacto económico de Jamie Dimon en J.P Morgan ha sido estratosférico desde que fue designado como CEO de la compañía en julio de 2004. Bajo su mando, la entidad se ha convertido en el mayor banco de Estados Unidos: su capitalización bursátil supera los 700.000 millones de dólares y sus beneficios superaron el año pasado los 58.000 millones. Todo esto le hizo ocupar el primer puesto en la lista Forbes Global 2000 de 2024.

Het is een dag om nooit te vergeten voor Elon Musk, omdat het zo'n pijnlijke dag is. Concurrent BYD verkoopt voor het eerst meer auto's in Europa dan Tesla. En dat terwijl de Chinese auto's pas sinds twee jaar verkocht worden op dit hele continent.Deze aflevering kijken we naar die pijnlijke ontwikkeling voor Tesla. Is het de schuld van Elon Musk? En waarom heeft BYD geen last van dalende verkopen in Europa?Verder hebben we het ook over ING. Dat moest in de financiële crisis afscheid nemen van hun spaarbank in Amerika. Onder druk werd dat verkocht. Maar werkt ING aan een comeback? Volgens persbureau Bloomberg wil het een bankvergunning aanvragen in de VS.Hoe dat precies zit, hoor je uiteraard. Dan hoor je ook dat het niet lekker loopt bij Nike. De verkopen blijven maar dalen. Daar heeft de nieuwe ceo nu wat op gevonden: prijsverhogingen! Ook gaat het over het immense belastingplan van Trump. We bekijken wat dat betekent voor beleggers. En het gaat over het verlies van een Engelse voetbalclub.

Comme dans un mini-remake de ce qui s'est passé six semaines plus tôt, les actions américaines ont été rattrapées par les tensions sur le marché obligataire. Un simple coup de semonce pour le moment, mais un avertissement pour la Maison Blanche et ses projets budgétaires. Dans un autre registre, les investisseurs attendent avec impatience la publication, plus tard dans la journée, des indicateurs d'activité PMI de mai. Et pour terminer cette entrée en matière, sachez que c'est la Saint-Emile aujourd'hui. J'en profite donc pour souhaiter une bonne fête à mon voisin, qui du haut de ses 93 ans est le roi de la noisette, le recordman de la plus grosse courge jamais ramassée au bord du Lac du Bourget et la seule personne de ma connaissance qui désherbe encore au gasoil.Distribué par Audiomeans.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon lays out a global market triple threat he says most investors are ignoring right now. Plus, the rising rate risk and its impact on two critical parts of the U-S Economy. And Later, futures are modestly lower this morning following yesterday modest gains.
Yesterday, Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan and Brian Moynihan's Bank of America raised $4.4 billion for a Pentagon-designated “Chinese military company operating in the United States.” Most Americans might be astonished that there are any such companies – let alone that Wall Street is so indifferent to the national security implications that it is massively enriching one. The company in question is called CATL. It's the world's largest electric battery manufacturer and reportedly is putting them in Chinese submarines, increasing their lethality – meaning the death of Americans in the event of a shooting war. Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan are, thereby, not only aiding and abetting a “foreign adversary.” They have violated President Trump's vitally needed “America First Investment Policy” and created a precedent for doing so via Hong Kong that threatens to make a mockery of his commonsensical effort to end such underwriting of our enemy. This is Frank Gaffney.

No creo que debas fumar -continúa Dimon-, pero defiendo tu derecho a hacerlo. En el mercado en general, los inversores se han tomado con calma la rebaja de Moody's de la calificación crediticia de EEUU.. el impacto ha sido bastante temporal e insignificante en el panorama general. Por otra parte, el presidente Trump se reúne con los congresistas republicanos para alcanzar un acuerdo sobre un amplio proyecto de ley de recortes fiscales.. que podría añadir entre 3 y 5 billones de dólares a la deuda del gobierno federal de 36,2 billones de dólares. En las bolsas europeas, el Ibex 35 sigue en racha marcando nuevos máximos de 2008, por encima de los 14.300 puntos. El análisis con César Sánchez-Grande, de Renta 4 Banco.
Asian currencies look poised to benefit from a favorable mix of lower US Treasury yields, softer oil prices, and sustained downward pressure on the greenback. A cautious outlook from Walmart underscores lingering vulnerabilities that may cap gains in US assets. Stateside, traders priced in two Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Shares in South Korea and Australia climbed early Friday, while Japan's were mixed. US futures inched higher after the S&P 500 rose 0.4% Thursday. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says recession remains a possibility as tariff fallout continues to buffet global economies. We break down the day's market action with Michael Green, Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management. Plus - we'll get earnings from Chinese EV maker XPeng in the week ahead.

Overshadowed by news yesterday of progress by the Trump team in securing more reciprocal trade arrangements with the Chinese Communist Party were reports that top Wall Street firms are doubling down on the CCP's wildly unreciprocated access to our capital markets. At issue is fundraising that Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan and Brian Moynihan's Bank of America are determined to do for what the Pentagon has determined is a “Chinese military company operating in the United States.” Known as CATL, this conglomerate makes electric batteries for consumer vehicles. Its batteries are also making China's submarines more lethal. House CCP Committee Chairman John Moolinaar has explicitly warned Dimon and Moynihan to abandon the CATL deal. By refusing to do so, they must now be subject to extensive document disclosures and, ideally – given the harm they are causing to the national security – public repudiation, as well.

Michigan Congressman John Moolenaar is a national treasure. He chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and works tirelessly to counter what the CCP calls its “unrestricted warfare” against us. Yesterday, Chairman Moolenaar took action. He wrote two of our country's top financiers, JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, and demanded that they stop their investment banks' joint efforts to raise over $7 billion for a Chinese military and slave-labor exploiting company known as CATL. It is, as the Godfather would say, “an offer they can't refuse.” Should Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan fail to disengage from thus “funding our own demise,” the chairman will require them to provide extensive documentation about this transaction that will expose the degree to which such “old friends” of China are knowingly betraying and endangering America. Bring it! This is Frank Gaffney.

John Petrides believes everyone should listen to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon's commentary on the economy during the company's post-earnings Q&A session. He thinks Dimon's words on a 50% recession risk and calls for bank deregulation can reach President Trump and push for policy change.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) "needed a good report, we got one," says Dory Wiley. He notes CEO Jamie's Dimon's comments on the economy but says the company is building a stockpile to handle economic uncertainty through its credit loss provisions. As for Nvidia (NVDA), Dory believes the stock is still on sale despite its massive rally Wednesday. He considers the A.I. giant a quality buy with enough beta exposure to warrant faster gains than similar companies.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Ook na het weekend blijkt Donald Trump niet van mening te zijn veranderd. Hij zet zijn handelsoorlog volop door. En daarin heeft hij een paar goede volgelingen. Handelsminister Howard Lutnik noemt die handelsoorlog onvermijdelijk en is ervan overtuigd dat Amerika tot nu toe leeggeplunderd werd door de rest van de wereld. En ook minister van Financiën Scott Bessent ziet geen reden voor paniek en weigert zelfs maar aan een recessie te denken. Beleggers denken er duidelijk anders over, want wereldwijd kleuren de beurzen rood. Een bericht van nieuwszender CNBC leek daar even verandering in te brengen. Dat meldde dat een economisch adviseur van Trump een gerucht had opgepikt over een mogelijke pauze in de handelsoorlog. Beleggers wisten niet hoe snel ze moesten inslaan, maar kwamen vrijwel meteen weer van een koude kermis thuis. Want het Witte Huis wist niet hoe snel dat gerucht ontkracht moest worden. En dat wierp de beurzen alleen nog maar verder in het diepe. Tot overmaat van ramp besloot Trump vervolgens ook weer dat hij te lang z'n mond had gehouden. Zijn doelwit? China. Dat had vlak voor het weekend al aangekondigd om elke heffing vanuit de VS met gelijke munt terug te betalen. Dat wordt een duur grapje voor Trump, want die dreigt nu met nog eens 50 procent extra heffing tegen China. Een samenvatting van deze rollercoaster van een beursdag hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan vertellen we je ook over de afvalligen, want die heeft Trump ook. Het Amerikaanse bedrijfsleven vindt namelijk dat hij te ver gaat met zijn handelsoorlog. Misschien wel de meest opvallende criticus is Elon Musk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
IntroductionLIVE from a bottomless pit of CEO pay, it's a Business Pants Friday Show here at March 21st Studios, featuring AnalystHole Matt Moscardi. On today's weekly wrap up: Nelson Peltz hates woke ice cream, Self-hating Cybertrucks, and anti-ESG manbabies Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.Story of the Week (DR):‘Incompetent:' Jamie Dimon unloads on proxy advisor ISSJamie Dimon said Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) should be “gone and dead and done with”, as he also launched an attack on those who pay for their services.In an interview with Semafor at Blackrock's retirement summit, Mr Dimon said: “Anyone who gives them money – shame on you.”Unilever hit ‘new levels of oppressiveness,' Ben & Jerry's claims as its CEO was sacked over social activismIce cream maker Ben & Jerry's has accused its parent company of firing its CEO David Stever over his support of the brand's progressive politics.On Tuesday, the Vermont-based brand filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Unilever “has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's efforts to silence the Social Mission.”Ben & Jerry's said Unilever informed its board on March 3 that it was removing and replacing Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever. Ben & Jerry's said that violated its merger agreement with Unilever, which states that any decisions regarding a CEO's removal must come after a consultation with an advisory committee from Ben & Jerry's board.“empowered to protect and defend Ben & Jerry's brand equity and integrity”White man David Stever, 4 women of color (one who is the chair), and two black men. In Vermont? Are they trolling us?!?! I guess it can be done. Unilever board member Nelson Peltz is still trying to find a white actor for Black PantherUnilever has not publicly disclosed a reason for Stever's firingThe ice cream company has a unique corporate structure that was meant to protect its activist mission, even after its 2000 sale to Unilever:Independent Board of Directors: Unlike most Unilever-owned brands, Ben & Jerry's has an independent board specifically tasked with preserving the company's social mission.Merger Agreement Protections: The 2000 acquisition agreement required consultation with the board for key leadership decisions, including hiring or firing the CEO.Social Mission Oversight: The board exists to prevent the dilution of the company's activist identity—something that appears to be under increasing pressure.Ben & Jerry's Founders Say They Stand Behind Ousted CEOBoeing Sued for Wrongful Death by Family of WhistleblowerBoeing pushed John Barnett, who was a quality manager at Boeing for nearly three decades, to his death by harassing and intimidating him after he raised safety concerns about the company's plant building the 787 Dreamliner in Charleston, South Carolina, a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court in the state alleges. His family claim in their suit that Boeing responded by carrying out a “campaign of harassment, abuse and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited”.In the evening of March 8th last year, Barnett left the law offices of Boeing's outside counsel in Charleston after testifying for two days in the OSHA case. Barnett was giving his account of how Boeing violated its own policies and procedures, and FAA rules, during his seven years as a quality inspector at the North Charleston plant that assembles the 787 Dreamliner. He'd delayed a trip back to his home in Louisiana to finish his deposition the next day, a Saturday. Videos cited in the police report show Barnett leaving the hotel around 8:30 PM, and getting in his Clemson orange, Dodge truck. When Barnett failed to show by the 10 AM starting time for his final round of testimony, Turkewitz called the Holiday Inn to conduct a “welfare check.”Note: “America come together or die!!! Pray that the motherfk…ers who destroyed my life pay!!! I pray that Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so that Boeing and their lying ass leaders can kiss my ass. I can't do this any longer!!! F-k Boeing!!!'Business has been neglected': Longtime Tesla investor demands Elon Musk resign as CEO MMElon Musk Says He Has No Idea What He Did to Make Everybody So Mad at Him"It's really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of, really, hatred and violence from the left.""My companies make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone.”“So why the hate and violence against me?”"I always thought that the left, you know, Democrats, were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're firebombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, they're smashing up Teslas," Musk said. "Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful.""I've never done anything harmful."“Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."Tesla just recalled basically all the Cybertrucks ever sold in AmericaTesla workers in Germany say they don't have time to use the bathroomTesla workers at a German factory say working conditions don't allow them enough time for drinking or bathroom breaks.Over 3,000 workers at a Tesla gigafactory near Berlin have signed a petition asking for more breaks and an end to intimidation from management, according to a statement from German metalworker's union IG Metall.A Huge Amount of Money Is Missing From TeslaEven the company's financials are now sprouting some glaring questions. As the Financial Times reports, a whopping $1.4 billion appears to have vanished in thin air. The enormous hole arises when examining the carmaker's capital expenditures and how those compare to the reported rise of the value of its assets.According to Tesla's cashflow statements, the firm spent $6.3 billion on "purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales" in the second half of 2024. However, its balance sheet claims the gross value of property, plant, and equipment rose by only $4.9 billion — leaving an eyebrow-raising $1.4 billion discrepancy.Musk Set to Receive Top-Secret Briefing on U.S. War Plans for ChinaMusk Tells Tesla Workers: Don't Sell Your SharesTesla board members, executive sell off over $100 million of stock in recent weeksTogether, four top officers at the company have offloaded over $100 million in shares since early February.Last week, longtime Musk ally James Murdoch became the latest to do so, exercising a stock option and selling shares worth approximately $13 million, according to an SEC filing.Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who also sits on the board, unloaded 75,000 shares worth approximately $27 million last month, according to a filing.The chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, has offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions in the past five weeks, federal filings show.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Chobani CEO: Why we're now giving all workers at least 12 weeks of parental leaveDR: JD Vance rips globalization, calling cheap labor a 'drug'MM: Tesla Cybertruck deliveries are on hold as trims are flying off the 'bulletproof' truck DRThey recalled ALL of them - imagine if Mary Barra put out a car at GM that, 1 year after releasing, they had to recall ALL of them?

They were not mentioned in 2023.

Blame Game: Buffett's genetic skill, United Health's shareholder pushback, JPM Dimon's flip floppery
Friends,Today, Heather and I assess the fifth week of the regime, when Trump took America over to the dark side by endorsing Vladimir Putin's narrative of how the Ukraine war began and why Europe should defend itself rather than be an ally of the United States.We also have as our special guest Rohit Chopra, the former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, who was fired by Trump at the same time Trump imposed on the CFPB a stop order that closed much of it down. Chopra was recently described by Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase, the largest bank in the United States, as “an arrogant, out-of-touch, son-of-a-b***h who just made things worse for a lot of Americans.” I consider Dimon's condemnation a strong endorsement of Chopra. (And for the record, I think Jamie Dimon is an arrogant, out-of-touch robber baron who has made things far worse for a lot of Americans — and will shaft even more people now that Rohit Chopra has been fired by Trump.) Whether the choice is posed by Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Jamie Dimon, or Elon Musk, the question is the same: Do we want democratic capitalism or oligarchy? Please grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, take our poll, and join in the conversation. This is a public episode.

The sales totals are adjusted for seasonality but not inflation for a month in which prices rose 0.5%. - Excluding autos, prices fell 0.4%, also well off the consensus forecast for a 0.3% increase. - A "control" measure that strips out several nonessential categories and figures directly into calculations for gross domestic product fell 0.8% after an upwardly revised increase of 0.8%. Other Economics - In other economic news Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that import prices accelerated 0.3% in January, in line with expectations for the largest one-month move since April 2024. On a year-over-year basis, import prices increased 1.9%. - Fuel prices increased 3.2% on the month, also the biggest gain since April 2024.

They're gonna do a lot of things—they're not working.” --- Question: Doesn't President Trump work from home? -----JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon scorned calls from some employees to soften the bank's five-day return-to-office policy in an animated town hall meeting last week, according to a recording reviewed by Reuters. - Employees at the largest U.S. bank have complained on internal message boards and chats about losing hybrid working arrangements, and one group launched an online petition urging Dimon to reconsider. Unions - NOPE - Amazon workers at a facility near Raleigh, North Carolina, overwhelmingly voted against unionizing on Saturday. - Of the 3,276 ballots cast, there were 2,447 votes opposing the union and 829 in favor, according to Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment (CAUSE), the group seeking to represent workers. The results still need to be certified by the National Labor Relations Board. China - Tariffs of their own - China's finance ministry said Tuesday it will impose 15% tariffs on coal and liquified natural gas imports from the U.S. and 10% duties on crude oil, farm equipment and certain cars, starting Feb. 10. - The tariffs announcement comes as the additional 10% U.S. tariffs on Chinese exports came into effect on Tuesday stateside. Speaking of Tariffs Reciprocal Tariffs - what are they? .

What's important here is that you have a diversity of views on that board, and if you look at these companies — they've all embraced diversity. I think it served its purpose.” Billionaire Airbnb Co-Founder Is Said to Take Role in Musk's Government InitiativeJoe Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder, is a board member at Tesla.Mr. Gebbia arrived at O.P.M.'s downtown Washington D.C. headquarters in a black S.U.V. with a three-man security detail‘Sustainable' Investors Flee References to Climate ChangeThe success of Republican attacks on ESG and Donald Trump's re-election has everyone running for cover.For more than a decade, investment chief of Green Alpha Investments Garvin Jabusch would show a chart of the planet's rising temperatures when pitching investment ideas to clients, saying they could help save the planet and still make money: “I've given up on anyone ever caring about that”Parnassus Investments, the biggest US sustainable-investing firm, has removed references on its website that its funds are “fossil-fuel free.”Engine No. 1, the small activist firm that led the shakeup of ExxonMobil Corp.'s board in 2021, has removed wording on its web page that corporate performance is “greatly enhanced” by investing in workers, communities and the environment.

Yet, he reportedly added: “I saw how we were spending money on some of this stupid sh-t, and it really pissed me off,” Dimon said. “I'm just gonna cancel them. I don't like wasted money in bureaucracy.”There are two distinct elements to the determination of Jamie's pay plan: 50% is “the what” and 50% is “the how.” One of the three elements of “the how” is “Teamwork & Leadership,” which specifically includes “Creating an open, respectful, inclusive culture; Employer of choice for top talent from all backgrounds; Delivery on internal DEI initiatives.”One of the company's stated achievements in “Client/Customer/Stakeholder” was:Advancing racial equity: By the end of 2023, we reported nearly $31 billion of progress toward our five-year $30 billion Racial Equity Commitment to help close the racial wealth gap and advance economic inclusion among historically underserved communities in the U.S., including Black, Hispanic and Latino customers and communities.

Let's just talk about how investors are now paying ISS hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of Free Float in order to get LESS data - here are the “factors” you no longer consider for recommendations:Gender diversity:Women outpace men globally in sector knowledge for boards they're on - women are more likely to have gone to an elite school or have an advanced degree AND have direct knowledge of the industry of the company they're on the board ofWomen have stronger networks - because so few break the glass ceiling of boards, they end up getting recycled, which means they know more board members or have friends in commonWomen and men have exactly the same performance metrics as directors - by performance, I mean during their tenures, they oversee the exact same TSR and earnings performance percentiles versus industry peersMen have the advantage in leadership and economic interest - as in, women are rarely made CEOs unless there's a crisis and mommy has to clean up after the boys, and the boys almost always keep shares for themselves and don't give any to the girlsRacial/ethnic diversity:Black female directors at S&P 500 companies are the most knowledgeable of their industriesBlack female directors at S&P 500 companies also have the strongest networks - they have been recycled more, and thus have more friends in high placesAsian male directors at S&P 500 companies have the highest performance rates on TSR and earningsOverall, black male and female directors are the most “meriting” board positions at the S&P 500 companies Shareholders who don't use their rights DRSEC Looks to Muzzle Shareholder Culture WarriorsSchedule 13G is filed by owners of stock who have more than 5% of shares - so basically, Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity - major investorsBUT, if the owner takes an ACTIVIST position (like Elliott amassing in BP right now), and that position is greater than 5%, they file a 13D, not G - D means they intend to influence or change management in a proxy fight (or through engagement)13D has more reporting requirements because it's an activist stakeWell, because investors have basically ignored their basic rights for so long and deferred to management, this happens: SEC Provides New Guidance on Schedule 13G EligibilityThe new guidance says:Schedule 13G would be unavailable if a shareholder engages with the issuer's management to specifically call for the sale of the issuer or a significant amount of the issuer's assets, the restructuring of the issuer, or the election of director nominees other than the issuer's nominees.For example, Schedule 13G may be unavailable to a shareholder who:recommends that the issuer remove its staggered board, switch to a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections, eliminate its poison pill plan, change its executive compensation practices, or undertake specific actions on a social, environmental, or political policy and, as a means of pressuring the issuer to adopt the recommendation, explicitly or implicitly conditions its support of one or more of the issuer's director nominees at the next director election on the issuer's adoption of its recommendation; ordiscusses with management its voting policy on a particular topic and how the issuer fails to meet the shareholder's expectations on such topic, and, to apply pressure on management, states or implies during any such discussions that it will not support one or more of the issuer's director nominees at the next director election unless management makes changes to align with the shareholder's expectations.ENGAGEMENT DEATH BY BEAURACRACY THE MAJORS! This works out one of three ways: the majors can no longer vote against any director for fear it appears to be “coercive”, and subjects them to 13D scrutiny, OR…They axe entire engagement teams, stop engaging at all, abstain and only offer pass through votingThey buy Free Float data - imagine a world where you stop engagement or conversation about “key issues”, and vote instead against candidates that just failed to perform without telling them why. No engagement, just voting on the data!But in the end, because you never actually used actual data on your director vote, the SEC is making it harder for you now.

JPMorgan Chase will require employees to return to the office five days a week starting in March 2025. CEO Jamie Dimon addressed over 1,300 employees who petitioned for a hybrid work policy, confirming that the return-to-office mandate will proceed. Employees raised concerns about the necessity of full-time in-office work, particularly after the bank reported record profits of $58.5 billion in 2024, indicating productivity remained strong with hybrid work arrangements. Dimon noted challenges associated with remote work, including decreased attention during virtual meetings and communication gaps, especially on Fridays. He encouraged employees to disregard the petition. Currently, approximately 60% of JPMorgan employees, including leadership, work in the office daily. The bank's strict policy aligns with similar mandates from companies like Amazon and Walmart, maintaining its position as the largest U.S. bank with $3.9 trillion in assets. Recently, JPMorgan laid off fewer than 1,000 workers.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump signed an order ending DEI. Here's what it means for Fortune 500 companiesTrump's latest presidential moves mandate government agencies to specifically target companies in the private sector engaged in what it describes as “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.”Despite the intended chilling effect of these executive moves, multiple legal sources point out that Trump's order and action do not constitute a change in the law. Rather, the language used in the order simply “enforces longstanding federal civil rights laws,” says Britney N.D. Torres, senior counsel at employment law firm Littler.Trump's executive moves just mean that companies will have to continue to carefully review their DEI-related policies, practices and initiatives based on longstanding anti-discrimination laws, and make sure they can't be interpreted in a way that is different from what they intended, she says.This week in Davos, Jamie Dimon reaffirmed JPMorgan's DEI commitments after the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit, proposed the bank revisit how compensation is tied to the company's racial-equity goal. “Bring them on,” said Dimon referring to the efforts from right-leaning groups. “We are going to continue to reach out to the Black community, the Hispanic community, the LGBT community, the veterans community.”Will this ever trickle down to JPM leadership?15 on Operating Committee: 1 POC (an Indian man–Sanoke Viswanathan, CEO of International Consumer and Wealth–who came from McKinsey); 7/15 F though so some credit dueBoard: nearly 50% F but a woeful -21% gender gap; no leadership positions on board or top 3 committees: only committees where women have power are Public Responsibility Committee and Risk Committee; 11 on board: 9 WM and 2 BFCan we stop pretending board and shareholder oversight is a thing?

Your board was wrong. Your management was wrong. You know what petty middle school bullies do when you give them your lunch money? Take it the next fucking day, too.

Confoundingly, the board appears to have ceded control of deciding Ghasemi's successor to Ghasemi himself…”GL: “… we are concerned that available information strongly suggests that the incumbent board, if left to its own devices and not held accountable at the forthcoming AGM, may simply surface something of a figurehead candidate previously selected or endorsed by Mr. Ghasemi, while concurrently permitting Mr. Ghasemi to retain substantial influence for an unspecified period, without a substantive acknowledgment of the poor capital allocation performance of his strategy.”Egan Jones: “We firmly believe that Air Product's unsatisfactory performance stems in part from mismanagement and the absence of effective leadership to guide the Company.”And why the fuck to investors WAIT until an activist is involved??Air Products CEO unseated from board; Activist investors win 3 seatsWill Hild, Consumer ResearchNasdaq files to withdraw mandate on ‘diverse' board directors after court defeatThose cheering Nasdaq's decision to pull the diversity mandate included Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Research.

Tarieven, tarieven, tarieven. Dat was zo ongeveer alles dat we hoorden tijdens de campagne van Trump, en in de aanloop naar zijn presidentschap. Maar nu zit 'ie comfortabel in de Oval Office, en opeens slaat hij een andere toon aan. Hij zegt nu namelijk dat hij veel liever een deal zou sluiten met China, in plaats van een handelsoorlog starten. Is dit het teken dat de handelsoorlog er definitief niet gaat komen? Dat vertellen we je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over Philips. Het heeft eindelijk het vertrouwen van beleggers terug na het schandaal rond de slaapapneu-apparatuur, maar er hangt het bedrijf iets nieuws boven het hoofd. Zeker honderd mensen liepen brandwonden op door een hartmonitor van het Eindhovense bedrijf, en er zouden mogelijk zelfs mensen aan zijn overleden. Een hartmonitor heb je misschien wel nodig als je nog aandelen Boeing hebt. Het drama bij de vliegtuigbouwer blijft maar doorzeuren. Boeing waarschuwt alvast voor de kwartaalcijfers. Kort samengevat moeten beleggers zich opmaken voor een megaverlies. Hoe mega? Dan moet je luisteren. En we blikken terug op de week, de eerste van Trump zijn tweede termijn natuurlijk. Maar ook die van verbazingwekkende aantallen abonnees bij Netflix. En die van pijnlijke koersdalingen bij gamemakers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Allegations have surfaced suggesting that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities prior to Epstein's 2019 arrest. Internal communications from 2008 reference a "pending Dimon review" concerning Epstein's accounts, indicating that the CEO may have been informed about Epstein's legal issues following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Despite this, Epstein remained a client of JPMorgan until 2013. In response to lawsuits alleging the bank's complicity in Epstein's sex trafficking operations, Dimon testified in a 2023 deposition that he had no recollection of knowing Epstein or being aware of his crimes until media reports emerged in 2019.Critics argue that Dimon's professed lack of awareness is implausible, given his leadership role and the documented internal discussions about Epstein's accounts. The U.S. Virgin Islands government, in its lawsuit against JPMorgan, contends that the bank, under Dimon's direction, ignored clear warning signs and continued to profit from its relationship with Epstein. This situation raises serious questions about the ethical responsibilities of financial institutions and their executives in monitoring and reporting illicit activities of their clients.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Netflix eindigt het jaar - en zijn traditie om elk kwartaal het aantal abonnees te publiceren - met een knaller! Vorig kwartaal kreeg Netflix er 19 miljoen abonnees bij. Dubbel zoveel als verwacht, en een record. Een record dat Netflix niet meer kan verbreken, omdat Netflix voortaan zijn mond houdt over de in- en uitstroom van klanten. Is het slim? Of gaat de beurskoers hieronder lijden? Je hoort het in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over het 'grootste AI-infrastructuurproject óóit'. Met die woorden kondigt de kersverse president Donald Trump een mega-investering aan. Samen met ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, softwarebedrijf Oracle en het Japanse Softbank pompt hij een duizelingwekkende 500 miljard dollar in kunstmatige intelligentie. Toch zijn er twijfels of die 500 miljard genoeg is. Ook kun je meedansen op de samba, dankzij Adidas. We hebben het over de eerste scheurtjes in de relatie tussen Trump en Musk. En je ontdekt wie Crypto Mom is en waarom je haar moet leren kennen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Als je naar Wall Street kijkt zou je het niet zeggen. Alles ziet er positief uit. Het cijferseizoen is vrolijk afgetrapt door de Amerikaanse grootbanken, en het laatste inflatiecijfer is een meevaller. Maar niet iedereen was oneindig enthousiast. Jamie Dimon, baas van JP Morgan Chase, noteert met zijn bank een recordwinst, maar zwaait ook met een rode vlag. Sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren de geopolitieke spanningen niet zo hoog. Of jij al in actie moet schieten, dat vertellen we je in deze uitzending. Dan hebben we het ook over de grootste lening die een Nederlands bedrijf ooit van Europa kreeg. Niet ASML, niet Adyen, maar NXP is de gelukkige. Het krijgt 1 miljard euro toegedrukt vanuit Brussel. En daar zitten 2 dingen bij: de opdracht om de Europese chipindustrie overeind te houden, en een rente van zo'n 5 procent. Is het een geschenk, of een afdankertje? En is het genoeg geld om die zware taak succesvol uit te voeren? Daar hoor je meer over. Verder hoor je over Elon Musk, die het nu echt aan de stok heeft met de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond. En over TikTok, dat liever meteen alle schermen op zwart zet, dan nog een minuut langer in de VS aanwezig blijven.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The case, spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and supported by 10 other state attorneys general, alleges that these firms have used their substantial ownership stakes in major coal producers to suppress competition and artificially raise energy prices. The states listed as plaintiffs are” Texas Alabama Arkansas Indiana Iowa Kansas Missouri Montana Nebraska West Virginia Wyoming According to the 108-page complaint, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street collectively hold controlling stakes in multiple coal companies, including Peabody Energy and Arch Resources, which account for significant portions of U.S. coal production. The suit alleges that these firms formed an “output-reduction syndicate,” leveraging their shareholder influence to force coal companies to cut production, ostensibly in alignment with environmental goals like the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative. The complaint details how these firms' actions have allegedly suppressed coal supply despite rising demand for electricity. The result?
