What should we make of Trump's latest 35% tariff threat on Canada? Rudyard and Andrew agree that while this is not surprising given who we are dealing with, it's also not unique to Canada, with Europe and Mexico likewise getting hit with a tariff threat as well. We are not dealing with a normal interlocutor, and anybody who talks about Trump being a natural negotiator is not familiar with the trajectory of his career and many bankruptcies. Unfortunately for Mark Carney, the US holds most of the cards in cross border negotiations, and if recent history is any indication, there is no way of guaranteeing that Trump will live up to any treaty he signs. In the meantime, Europe and the Indo-Pacific have begun strengthening their relationships with other trade partners which will cost the US bargaining power in the future. But should Canada - in a similar bid to diversify trade - seek to strengthen business ties with China? And can Trump's tariffs - which have already paid off a portion of the US treasury's deficit - actually work as intended and chip away at America's ballooning debt?

Jeremy Keil explores Barron's 5 strategies to respond to market volatility with your retirement portfolio. Are you feeling nervous about what today's market volatility could mean for your retirement? You're not alone. A recent Barron's article titled “Market Anxiety Is Running High. How to Secure Your Retirement Portfolio” caught my attention—not just for the headline, but because it echoes what I hear from so many of you. Retirement can already feel uncertain, and when the stock market adds another layer of unpredictability, it's natural to start asking: “What should I be doing with my investments?” Let's explore five strategies—based on that Barron's article and my own experience as a retirement-focused financial planner—that you can use to help protect your retirement income from the ups and downs of the market. 1. Be Realistic About Market Returns The last decade has seen significant growth for the stock market. From 2009 to 2024, returns were some of the strongest in history. But expecting this trend to continue indefinitely could lead to disappointment. In fact, projections from Morningstar suggest that U.S. equities could return just 3.4% to 6.7% annually over the next decade. Compare that to the roughly 20% growth we saw in 2023 and 2024, and it's a sobering reality check. Being realistic doesn't mean avoiding stocks altogether—it means adjusting your expectations and preparing for a range of outcomes. 2. Get Your Asset Mix Right (Based on When You Need the Money) While it may be tempting to invest based on how the market is performing at the moment, Barron's suggests that your personal needs with your investment should be high on the list of drivers in your investment strategy. Your short-term money (needed within 1–3 years) could be in short-term, stable investments. Long-term money (needed 10+ years out) could go toward growth-oriented investments like stocks. Too often, I see people keeping everything in the market when they're just a year away from retirement, hoping for “one more good year.” And sometimes it backfires—just like it did in early 2020 when COVID hit, and the market took a steep dive. Plan ahead. By adjusting your retirement investments 3 three years before your retirement date, you could have more of a buffer, just in case you retire earlier than expected. 3. Diversify and Rebalance It's tempting to stick only with what's worked recently—especially U.S. stocks, which have produced strong returns since 2009. But diversification means having exposure to different areas of the market, including international stocks. And while international stocks have lagged in recent years, 2025 has shown a surprising shift: as of early June, international indexes are up nearly 19%—ahead of the S&P 500's 2% gain. You never know when one part of your portfolio will outperform. That's why it's important not just to diversify, but also to rebalance—systematically adjusting your investment strategy to maintain your target allocation. 4. Maintain a “Goldilocks” Level of Cash Cash can earn some decent interest—around 4% as of 2025. That doesn't necessarily mean you should pile all your money into savings, but it does mean you have the option to keep a portion of your retirement funds in cash or high-quality bonds for short-term needs. How much cash is enough? Many financial advisors recommend keeping 1 to 5 years' worth of withdrawals in cash or short-term investments. The right number for you depends on your retirement timeline, expenses, and risk tolerance. 5. Bolster Other Sources of Income One of the most underappreciated strategies for navigating market volatility is increasing your guaranteed income. That could include: Delaying Social Security to maximize your benefit Maximizing your pension payout, if available Exploring annuities to create additional income streams I know the word “annuity” often brings up mixed feelings.

Key Takeaways Use forward-looking strategies when investing. Successful land deals are structured today based on projected market conditions two to three years ahead. Partner with experienced developers to access opportunities like land entitlement and horizontal development that are typically closed to average investors. Mitigate risk by reverse engineering deals. Secure exit contracts with homebuilders before initiating entitlement and development. Focus on scalable solutions. Land development meets long-term housing demands, especially in high-growth Sunbelt markets. Diversify your real estate portfolio by including high-growth, high-return assets like land development alongside cash-flowing multifamily. Look for investments that multiply capital, not just preserve it. This is especially important during your prime wealth-building years.

Bienvenidos a su podcast en busca de la verdad donde todos son bien recibidos y solo pretendemos entretener e informar lo mas objetivamente posible de lo que acontece en este mundo de locos. Me gustaria refrescarles la memoria con la expresión “eje del mal” que fue utilizada originalmente el 29 de enero de 2002 por el entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos George W. Bush​ para describir a los regímenes que supuestamente apoyaban el terrorismo. Los estados-nación que Bush mencionó en su discurso fueron Irak, Irán y Corea del Norte, a los cuales posteriormente se agregaron Libia, Siria y Cuba. Todos sabemos, o deberíamos saber para empezar, que el 11S fue una bandera falsa y que jamas aparecieron armas de destrucción masiva ni en Irak, ni en Libia y muy posiblemente tampoco existan en Corea del Norte. El señor Bush olvidó que casi 20 años antes fueron asesinados el mismo numero de seres humanos en la matanza de Sabra y Chatila que los asesinados el 11S y que fue un 11 de septiembre de 1982 cuando las fuerzas internacionales que iban a garantizar la seguridad de los refugiados palestinos abandonaron Beirut. En este caso ni sus asesinos directos, falangistas antipalestinos junto a soldados israelíes, ni su impulsor político jamas fueron juzgados. A principios de junio de 2025, la situación geopolítica global se ha tensado significativamente debido a una serie de eventos que incrementaron los temores sobre una posible escalada hacia un conflicto mayor, incluso una tercera guerra mundial. El 1 de junio de 2025, Ucrania llevó a cabo la "Operación Telaraña", un ataque masivo con 117 drones contra aeródromos rusos en regiones como Múrmansk, Irkutsk, Ivánovo, Riazán y Amur, destruyendo o dañando al menos 12 aviones estratégicos rusos (o sea capaces de transportar armas nucleares), incluidos bombarderos Tu-95, Tu-22M3 y un avión de alerta temprana A-50. La acción provocó una fuerte reacción rusa, con Vladimir Putin calificando a Zelenski de "terrorista" el 5 de junio y declarando el fin de las posibilidades de un acuerdo de paz. Esta escalada, combinada con la retórica beligerante y los ataques rusos en represalia el 6 de junio contra Kyiv, Lutsk y Ternópil, que dejaron al menos tres muertos y 49 heridos, alimentó especulaciones sobre un conflicto global, como expresó el economista Jeffrey Sachs al advertir sobre "jugar con el apocalipsis" tras los ataques ucranianos. Realmente quedo en nada. Paralelamente, en Oriente Próximo, la escalada entre Israel e Irán alcanzó un nuevo pico en los días previos al viernes 13 de junio de 2025. Israel ejecutó una operación masiva contra Irán, atacando simultáneamente instalaciones nucleares, bases militares y figuras clave, incluyendo científicos nucleares y altos mandos como Hossein Salami, líder de la Guardia Revolucionaria. Esta ofensiva, que incluyó el uso de drones explosivos instalados previamente en Irán, fue comparada con la "Operación Telaraña" ucraniana por su sofisticación y planificación a largo plazo. Teherán confirmó la muerte de al menos seis científicos nucleares y reportó decenas de víctimas por los ataques israelíes, mientras que Israel advirtió a los iraníes que evacuaran zonas cercanas a sitios militares. La operación, que buscó neutralizar las capacidades de misiles y el programa nuclear iraní, marcó un cambio estratégico al atacar no solo infraestructura, sino también la cúpula militar y científica del país. Este intercambio, descrito como la cuarta oleada de bombardeos iraníes contra Israel en 24 horas el 14 de junio, intensificó las tensiones globales, con temores de una escalada que podría involucrar a otras potencias. No es la primera vez que Israel intenta neutralizar la tecnología nuclear iraní asesinando a los científicos iranies implicados en su desarrollo. El 11 de enero de 2012 podiamos leer el siguiente titular en Europa Press: “Irán denuncia que el atentado en Teherán es "obra de los sionistas”. En dicha noticia se nos contaba como una bomba magnética colocada en los bajos del automóvil del profesor universitario Ahmadi Roshan había acabado con su vida. Era director de las instalaciones de enriquecimiento de uranio de Natanz. Pero es que otro profesor universitario y científico nuclear, Masoud Alí Mohammadi, fue asesinado en un ataque terrorista con bomba en Teherán el 11 de enero de 2010. Otra bomba magnética situada en su coche a finales de ese mismo año se cobró la vida de Majid Shahriari, fundador de la Sociedad Nuclear de Irán, concretamente el 29 de noviembre, o sea 11 y 11. Ese mismo dia intentaron también asesinar a Fereydun Abbasi, doctorado en Física Nuclear y que investigaba para el ministerio de Defensa Iraní. Ambos eventos, el ataque ucraniano del 1 de junio y los bombardeos israelíes contra Irán alrededor del 13 y 14 de junio, han sido señalados como puntos críticos que podrían desestabilizar aún más el orden internacional. La combinación de estas acciones, junto con la retórica de líderes como Putin y las preocupaciones expresadas en foros internacionales, ha llevado a analistas y medios, como se vio en publicaciones en X, a advertir sobre el riesgo de un conflicto global. Esto es lo que todos sabemos a través de los medios, y ahora os contare algunas incongruencias. Lo más curioso de incluir a Irán en este eje del mal es que Estados Unidos ha sido el encargado de ayudar a Irán a fortalecerse económica y tecnológicamente sobre todo en tema nuclear. El programa nuclear iraní contaba con reactores de agua pesada presurizada o PHWR, que se sepa el de Arak. Este es un tipo de reactor nuclear que usa agua pesada. En vez de utilizar H2O como moderador de neutrones y refrigerante se emplea óxido de deuterio, esto es, D2O a alta presión. El agua normal tiene afinidad a absorber los neutrones, lo que deja un número insuficiente de los mismos para reaccionar con las pequeñas cantidades de U235 presentes en el uranio natural, sin embargo el agua pesada no absorbe los neutrones tan fácilmente ya que el deuterio ya dispone del neutrón extra que normalmente el agua tendería a absorber. Esto permite que el U235 presente en el uranio natural sea suficiente para mantener la criticidad, o sea, mantener la reacción en cadena. Este tipo de reactores permiten producir plutonio y no necesitan de la alta tecnologia de las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del resto de isótopos de uranio. Dichos reactores proceden del llamado Programa nuclear de Irán que empezó bajo el mandato del Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi de Irán en la década de 1950, con la ayuda obviamente de los Estados Unidos de América. Con la creación de la agencia atómica de Irán y con la firma del NPT (Tratado de no Proliferación Nuclear), el Sha planeó la construcción para el año 2000 de hasta 23 estaciones de energía nuclear por todo el país en conjunto con los EE.UU. En 1976 se firma un tratado estando Gerald Ford como presidente de USA, Dick Cheney, como su Jefe de Gabinete en la Casa Blanca, Donald Rumsfeld como el Secretario de Defensa y Paul Wolfowitz, dentro de la Agencia de Control de Armas y Desarme lo que permitiría a Irán comprar y operar una instalación de procesamiento, de fabricación estadounidense, para extraer plutonio. Estas cuatro personas citadas están en la actualidad entre los mayores opositores al programa nuclear iraní, pero estuvieron involucrados en la promoción de un programa nuclear iraní que permitiera extraer plutonio del combustible de un reactor nuclear. Les ruego que lean el breve texto sobre el Programa nuclear de Irán de la wikipedia para que se den cuenta que no solo USA ha ayudado a Irán a ser una potencia nuclear si no que científicos argentinos, europeos o chinos también han contribuido. Dejare un enlace en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. La empresa colectiva Kraftwerk Union formada por Siemens AG y AEG Telefunken, se retiró del proyecto nuclear de Bushehr en julio de 1979, dejando un reactor completo en un 50%, y el otro reactor en un 85% completo. Se terminaría gracias a la ayuda de Rusia. Después de la Revolución de 1979, Irán informó al Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA) de sus planes para reiniciar su programa nuclear utilizando combustible nuclear de fabricación doméstica y en eso ha estado desde ese momento. A pesar de los supuestos bloqueos ordenados por la ONU y la crisis diplomática de 2005 por el reinicio del enriquecimiento de uranio las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del uranio natural han seguido llegando. Recuerdo perfectamente como dentro de la operación Atalanta en Somalia un barco militar español detecto un cargamento de dichas maquinas que tenia como destino Irán. Desgraciadamente me es imposible encontrar dicha noticia, pero pasar, pasó. Antes de julio de 2015, Irán tenía grandes reservas de uranio enriquecido y casi 20.000 centrífugadoras, lo suficiente para crear entre ocho y 10 bombas, según la inteligencia de EE.UU. El 2 de abril de 2015 el grupo de 5+1 con Estados Unidos a la cabeza levanto las sanciones económicas y de colaboración tecnológica con Irán. Irán tuvo acceso a más de 100.000 millones de dólares en activos congelados en el exterior, y pudo reanudar sus exportaciones de petróleo a mercados internacionales utilizando el sistema financiero de comercio global. Estados Unidos no solo le brindo su apoyo tecnológico desde el primer minuto es que sin su participación hubiera sido imposible el crecimiento económico como pais de Irán. En cuanto al tema de las centrifugadoras ya empieza a cansar la verdad... Para hacer un poco de memoria el "inventor" de la primera centrifugadora fue Fritz Lange un científico alemán (como no) por allá los años 30...hasta los años 50 no se volvieron a crear las primeras centrifugadoras comerciales de mano del Prof. Max Steenbeck. Las primeras funcionaban a una velocidad de 240 m/s pero tenían dificultades técnicas (gran tamaño, fugas de gas, no podían trabajar en serie) y hasta el 1952 no se logro crear las digamos del modelo actual que permiten transferir el gas de una a otra en cascada para "purificar" mas el gas de uranio UF6. Fue un científico ruso, Eugeni Kamenev el que logro tal hazaña. Estas ya giraban a 320 m/s. En el 1953 interviene Gernot Zippe un ingeniero austriaco y le da otra vuelta de tuerca y la patenta...creando las de diseño occidental, tanto rusas como anglo derivan todas de este diseño. Hoy en día han evolucionado desde los 3m de altura de las primeras al medio metro de altura de las actuales, la 9 generación...y de los 300 m/seg a los mas de 700 m/seg de las actuales. Las imagenes de los "armatostes" que nos ofrecen por la television de las centrifugadoras iranies (que son imagenes grabadas por la IAEA en sus "incursiones" en busca de armas atómicas) nos indican que o bien los iranies han sabido guardar bien las de tecnologia occidental que compraron en el mercado negro (y que un barco de guerra español retuvo durante unas horas por error...:D) o ciertamente el virus israelí funciono a la perfección dejándolas inoperantes... Sea como sea centrifugadoras sobran en el mundo...los rusos tienen factorías para producir cientos de miles al año, en la Gorkovski Automobile Plant llamada en clave GAZ y en The Urals Electrochemical, entre ambas plantas se podrían fabricar unas 150.000 maquinas centrifugadoras al año. Aparte de que los rusos en su complejo de enriquecimiento ruso funciona cerca de su capacidad nominal de aproximadamente 20 millones de SWU/año, enviar unos cuantos contenedores a Irán no seria ningún problema. El término SWU significa "Unidad de Trabajo de Separación" (por sus siglas en inglés, Separative Work Unit), y se usa para medir el esfuerzo necesario para enriquecer uranio, es decir, para aumentar la proporción de uranio-235 para comvertirlo en combustible nuclear. Entre 100 y 200.000 SWU son necesarios para producir el combustible que utilizara un reactor nuclear en un año. Por lo que 20 millones de SWU dan para muchas bombas. Hay que crear enemigos convincentes como bien se decía en el informe Iron Mountain para hacer creíble una guerra. En la penúltima linea de la portada de The Economist con la previsión del 2020 podíamos leer NPT y después WAR, o sea Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear y Guerra. Yo creo que no podia ser más claro el mensaje. Han tenido 5 años para planificar el teatrillo que estamos observando entre Irán e Israel. El general retirado de las fuerzas estadounidenses, Wesley Clark, aseguró ante el público que la orden el mismo 11 de septiembre era invadir 7 países árabes en 5 años. Leo las palabras textuales de “Con el Mazo dando” en la descripción del video donde sale este general y que podréis encontrar en la descripción de este podcast. “Lo cierto es que poco después de Afganistán vino Irak, luego Libia, poco después Siria, Yemen y Pakistán; sólo les falta la joya de la corona: Irán. Cuando se les cayó la tesis de Al Qaeda, porque era imposible que el imperio más grande de la historia no pudiese encontrar a un sólo hombre y no pudiese derrotar a una organización de mil locos, tuvieron que "asesinar" a su líder Osama Bin Laden (cuyo cadaver fue "tirado al mar"). Ahora se inventaron un nuevo enemigo más fuerte, de mayores dimensiones llamado Estado Islámico. Es muy curioso que de las cenizas del Medio Oriente, un territorio que ya tiene 24 años de bombardeos, pobreza, hambre y miseria, surja un movimiento con una tecnología y capacidad de fuego más grande que muchos de los Estados que están allí. Y lo más curioso es que este grupo de "radicales islámicos" le declare la guerra a Irán y no se la declare a Israel.” Creo que debemos estar tranquilos ya que hay fuerzas poderosas enfrentadas que no quieren una tercera guerra mundial tal y como les contaba en el destrozadisimo articulo mío “La ley de Murphy dice que evitaremos la tercera guerra mundial”. Allí contaba como el enorme avispero que se ha creado en toda esa zona se cita en el proyecto Gran Israel o plan Yinon…y es que el proyecto Gran Israel se les quedo pequeño hace mucho y ahora planean llevar a cabo uno mucho mas ambicioso llamado fronteras de sangre. Todos y cada de uno de los países que están en esa zona han invertido ingentes cantidades de dinero en armamento, Turquía, Egipto, Irak, Irán, Arabia Saudi que esta siendo dotada de energía nuclear gracias a los norteamericanos, Siria, Emiratos árabes, Yemen, Afganistán, Pakistan, no digamos Israel…incluso la hundida económicamente Grecia ha invertido gran parte de su deuda en armamento. Digamos para terminar que Irán podría tener disponible hace ya bastantes años unas cuantas bombas atómicas de ultima generación y que por tanto estos últimos ataques israelíes son tan solo un teatrillo para intentar escenificar una posible 3 guerra mundial. Ni Israel ha ido con todo contra Irán ni Irán ha respondido con la contundencia que podría hacerlo. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ¿Por qué afirmo que todo esto es un teatrillo? Pues entre muchos motivos porque justamente el dia de mi cumpleaños, el 8 de junio, la nieta del antiguo rey iraní, del sha de Persia Iman Pahlavi, se ha casado con un empresario judío. En los medios nos lo venden como un empresario de éxito de una tecnológica de reparto con drones llamado Bradley Sherman. La joven Iman Pahlavi, de 31 años, cuyo abuelo fue Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi e hija del príncipe heredero exiliado Reza Pahlavi, se casó con el empresario Bradley Sherman en una ceremonia formal a la que asistieron destacados miembros de la familia real iraní y que siguió las costumbres tradicionales de las bodas judías. Pero resulta que este empresario de éxito comparte el apellido con el mismísimo yerno de Trump, el apellido Kushner. Se llama Bradley Sherman Kushner, aunque os costara encontrar algo de información al respecto. Yo lo sé gracias a haber visto el tremendo video de Hector, el hilo rojo, junto a sus dos contertulios de siempre, Julio y Elias Grima del canal SoloClima. Su video tenia el subtitulo de “A las puertas de la tercera guerra mundial nuclear” pero ya os aviso que ni de coña se va a producir. Va a ver una escalada, eso si, hasta el momento cumbre que será en julio. Jared Kushner es el yerno de Donald Trump, casado con Ivanka Trump. Jared Kushner vive en el 666 de la sexta avenida donde está el Zara principal y su hermano Joshua Kushner (hijo del magnate empresarial Charles Kushner) es el fundador de la firma de inversión, Thrive Capital, cofundada junto a Oscar Health. No hace falta que os diga que el documental Thrive (Prosperar) que fue presentado por el primogénito de la multinacional Procter & Gamble, Foster Gamble ha resultado un truco que nos vendía la New Age y la agenda 2030. Una de sus ofertas era que descartaremos el dinero en metálico y aceptaremos de buen grado el digital. Realmente no estamos como para ir destruyendo la tecnologia que tanto esfuerzo ha costado crear. Y la tecnologia nuclear es de las caras. Así que creo que todo este teatrillo se va a dar la vuelta para volver a traer a la antigua familia real persa a Irán. Están en Estados Unidos viviendo a lo grande. Lo pueden comprobar viendo las fotografías de la boda de la nietisima. Uno de los eventos astrológicos más significativos de julio de 2025 es la entrada de Urano en Géminis, que ocurre el 7 de julio de 2025. Este tránsito marca el inicio de un ciclo que durará aproximadamente hasta 2033, con una breve retrogradación a Tauro entre noviembre de 2025 y abril de 2026. Urano, conocido como el planeta de la revolución, la innovación y los cambios súbitos, cambia de signo cada siete años aproximadamente, por lo que este es un evento de gran relevancia tanto a nivel personal como colectivo. Hoy, 17 de junio, el príncipe heredero Reza Pahlaví, hijo del último Sah, se dirigirá al pueblo iraní en un mensaje oficial a las 9:00 p.m. Un mes mas tarde, el 17 de julio de 2025: Saturno estará casi en conjunción con Neptuno en Aries. Los tránsitos de Urano en Géminis han coincidido con eventos históricos significativos, como la Revolución Americana, la Guerra Civil de EE.UU. y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dicho esto, yo no soy especialmente creyente en la astrología y tampoco creo que hablar sobre ello sea malo “per se”. Lo que tengo claro es que las elites psicopatocraticas si creen en la astrología y la utilizan. Por ello creo que el cambio de gobierno en Irán, de producirse, acontecerá a mediados de julio. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Un periódico llamado “La correspondencia militar” mostró en un titular uno de los famosos duelos de Blasco Ibáñez. Allí veíamos en un apartado titulado “Cuestión Resuelta” como se utilizaban los tres puntos en forma de pirámide para separar el primer párrafo. ¿Por qué un periódico de tendencia militar utilizaría los tres puntos de la masonería y terminaría felicitando al valiente duelista Blasco Ibáñez? ¿No les suena muy actual esa forma de proceder? "Conoce el pasado y podrás luchar en el futuro.” Otra frase interesante es la que comparte Ardi con todos nosotros: "La propaganda no está pensada para convertir a la gente en idiota, sino que se dirige a los idiotas desde el principio" George Bernard Shaw Y termino con una mia: “Experimentar es creer. Creer es empezar a ver. Ver es empezar a experimentar.” ……………………………………………………………………………………….

In episode 125, of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton talks with Michele Walls. Michele shares her deep well of experience in nonprofit fundraising, communications, and strategic development. They explore:  the importance of thoughtful relationship-building, patience, and team collaboration in securing sustainable funding.  how fundraising is a team effort and a long game.  how to move from reactive panic to strategic action—even amid uncertainty and funding contractions. Episode highlights:

“The U.S. dollar is likely to go down 25 to 50% over the next five years,” says Marko Papic, Chief Strategist at BCA Research. He tells Daniela Cambone that the driving force behind this decline is less about the loss of reserve currency status and more about fading U.S. economic outperformance. Papic also points out that Trump's tax cuts bill “does not add to growth in any way, shape, or form” and warns, “Expectations of U.S. growth are overstated, and that means the dollar is way too expensive.”He further argues that rate cuts are becoming ineffective, as the long end of the yield curve remains unresponsive. “Everyone borrows at the long end of the curve — not the short end. So if the long end doesn't fall, rate cuts don't matter.” What matters now, he stresses, is fiscal and trade policy — not monetary policy.Papic's advice to investors: “Diversify out of the dollar — diversify out of the U.S.” Watch the full video to learn more.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload the Ultimate Decision-Making Guide on Gold & Silver plus Daniela Cambone's Top 10 Lessons to safeguard your wealth (FREE)

Key Takeaways: U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping In “U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping”, Joe Lynch and Lauren M. Beagen, the Founder of Squall Strategies and The Maritime Professor, discuss the following:  OSRA 2022: Better Rules for Shippers: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 gave the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) more power to stop unfair charges from ocean carriers, especially for detention and demurrage. It's all about protecting shippers and making things fairer. "Decoupling" from China? It's Complicated: The idea of moving away from China for manufacturing isn't a simple "breakup." It's more about smart diversification, spreading out where we get things to lower risks, rather than cutting ties completely. Bringing Production Closer to Home: There's a big push to move manufacturing back to the US or to friendly countries nearby. This means building new factories, finding workers, and using government help to create stronger, more local supply chains. Maritime Law: The Unsung Hero: Don't underestimate maritime law! The rules for shipping by sea are super important for how goods move around the world. They keep things fair and stable in global trade. FMC's Growing Role in Today's Market: The FMC isn't just about old rules anymore. It's actively watching and reacting to supply chain problems, making sure US interests are protected and competition stays fair in ocean shipping. Diversify, Don't Just Ditch: Instead of pulling out of existing supply chains entirely, companies are focusing on diversifying. This means finding multiple places to source from, making supply networks more resilient against unexpected issues. Politics Meets Business: What It Means for You: Big political goals, like bringing jobs back or reducing reliance on certain countries, directly impact how businesses operate in transportation, logistics, and supply chain. Understanding this connection is key to staying ahead.

The Looming Crisis Few Want to Confront Paul Daneshrad, CEO of StarPoint Properties and author of Money and Morons, is sounding the alarm: the United States is barreling toward a sovereign debt reckoning – and real estate professionals are not nearly prepared.   Citing economists Reinhart and Rogoff, along with voices as diverse as Jamie Dimon, Jerome Powell, and Ray Dalio, Daneshrad warns that the U.S. has not only crossed the 100% debt-to-GDP threshold, widely viewed as a critical danger zone, but has kept accelerating. "We're at 120 to 140% on-balance-sheet," he notes. "If you include off-balance-sheet liabilities, we're at 300%." While the exact timing of the crisis is unknowable, Daneshrad argues that its inevitability is not. “It's not a question of if – it's when.”   Politics, Populism, and Normalcy Bias Daneshrad is quick to dismiss the conventional partisan narrative. The deficit is no longer a left-right issue, it's a bipartisan affliction. Both political parties, he argues, are fueling structural imbalances. Worse, the electorate, while voicing concern, refuses to vote for hard choices.   This disconnect is the heart of his book's provocative title: Money and Morons. “86% of Americans say they're worried about the debt,” he says. “But they won't vote for politicians willing to solve it, because that solution involves pain.”   The result is what psychologists call “normalcy bias” – an instinct to ignore looming threats and retreat into the comfort of the familiar.   Fixed-Rate Fortresses: Real Estate's First Line of Defense If the debt crisis triggers hyperinflation and a spike in interest rates, as Daneshrad expects, the implications for real estate will be seismic. His response? Radical preparation.   StarPoint has already begun shifting its portfolio into 20+ year fixed-rate debt and is moving toward 30-year structures. “It's painful. It's more expensive. But if the crisis comes in eight years, and you've got two years left on a 10-year loan, you're vulnerable.”   He emphasizes that this is not a fringe view. “Even Powell, whose mandate doesn't include the deficit, felt compelled to warn the public. That's how serious it is.”   Deleveraging with Purpose Debt levels at StarPoint are also coming down – fast. The firm is targeting 40% leverage, down from a peak of 70%. They currently sit at 54%, and the journey continues.   The rationale is clear: when interest rates jump from 6% to 15%, the re-pricing of real estate will be brutal. “That's trillions in lost value,” says Daneshrad. “You have to de-risk now.”   The Forgotten Asset: Cash Cash, often derided for its lack of yield in boom times, plays a central role in Daneshrad's playbook. “The Rockefellers, Kennedys, Guggenheims – they had cash when it mattered. They bought at two cents on the dollar.”   Berkshire Hathaway's record cash holdings reinforce this strategy. “Buffett sees limited opportunity right now and high risk. That should tell you something.”   Daneshrad recommends targeting cash reserves as a percentage of either AUM or annual free cash flow, steadily building them over time. "Public companies get punished for it. Private firms like ours have more flexibility and we're using it."   Why He's Not Buying (Yet) Despite market dislocation, Daneshrad says StarPoint is mostly sitting on the sidelines. Cap rate spreads don't justify the risk, and few deals offer the deep value he's targeting.   “We're looking for rebound plays where sellers are on their third buyer and need certainty of close. That's where the discounts are. But those opportunities are rare.”   Asked whether the mispricing stems from short-term underwriting or optimism bias, he shrugs. “We've flooded the system with liquidity. Asset prices are artificially propped up.”   Diversification and the Limits of Real Estate Daneshrad is not betting the farm on U.S. real estate. He's pursuing modest geographic diversification abroad and expanding into non-real estate asset classes. “Historically, real estate hedges inflation well but a debt crisis changes everything.”   He's candid about the difficulty: “We're not that smart. Timing a crisis is hard. But we can prepare for one.”   The Aging America Conundrum One of the more nuanced points Daneshrad raises is the intersection of demography and fiscal sustainability. Aging, he agrees, is inevitable. But the care infrastructure it requires is not financially supported. “The trustees for Social Security and Medicare, not politicians, say the funds go bankrupt in under ten years. That's $90 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities.” Senior housing? “A great idea if the elderly can pay. But with savings rates at historic lows, I'm not optimistic.”   Market Signals That Matter Daneshrad watches for three early signs of crisis: A gradual rise in interest rates – not driven by Fed hikes but by market demands for higher risk premiums. Breakdown of the flight-to-safety dynamic – if equities fall but bond yields rise, that's a red flag. The ‘bang moment' – as coined by Reinhart and Rogoff, when confidence evaporates overnight. As Hemingway once said about bankruptcy, it happens "gradually, then suddenly."   What He'd Do with $1 Million Today If handed an extra million in cash, Daneshrad says he'd hold 80% in cash and invest the rest. “Protect the capital. Diversify over multiple asset classes. Liquidity is opportunity.”   Final Word Paul Daneshrad's message is sobering but clear: “Protect. Prepare. Don't pretend.” He doesn't claim to predict the future. But if you accept the warnings from the smartest voices in finance and economics, the case for defensive posturing is overwhelming.   And if they're wrong? You lose a few basis points. But if they're right you survive the bang.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

If I lost everything – the audience, the money, the reputation – and had to start over, here's what I'd do. Step 0: Take Inventory What do I still have? My skills. My story. My scars. Just because the list is gone doesn't mean the asset is. This helps frame that even starting from “nothing” isn't truly nothing. Step 1: Cry I'd spend at least a week screaming into the void. “Why me Oh Lord, why me?” Then I would get down to business. I'd remind myself: “There's never been a better time to start over. The tools are free. The gatekeepers are gone. The only thing missing is your plan.” Step 2: Pick a weirdly specific niche I'd need to spend time to really find my purpose…my Tilt. As Warren Buffett and Simon Sinek discuss, every successful person is really good at one thing. What am I really good at or know something about to truly differentiate? And it's not about being louder or flashier. It's about being more specific, more real, and more essential to a group of people who need exactly what I have. I'd need to work on it, but things like: ·         Helping laid-off corporate marketers build a business around one weekly email. ·         Guiding former agency owners to repurpose their network into a publishing-driven business. ·         Helping Midwest Gen Xers who want to escape the job ladder and own something by 50. ·         Coaching marketers over 40 to build businesses that don't require social media. ·         Teaching people with 1,000 email subscribers how to make a full-time income. ·         Helping podcast hosts averaging over 10,000 downloads per month turn their show into a live event, a book, and a revenue flywheel. I'd obsess over a tiny group of people with a burning problem. I'd need to remind myself that you can't be too niche. The more specific the better. I'm already thinking that a number of the ones I listed are not specific enough. Step 3: Define Success What will success look like? I'd spend some time visualizing what that could be. Family life? Money needs? Living situation? Career goals? Basically, what do I really want here? What's the dream? Then, I would write that statement down in my journal and review it every day. Something like: We are the leading event education resource for podcast hosts and sell the company for two million dollars in 2028. Something like that. Step 4: Start an email newsletter. Twice Per Week. Non-negotiable. I'd write one useful, entertaining email two times per week. No fluff. No templates. Just my honest take. This would be the home base for everything. The email list is the new land. Social is just rented space. Even though I really like using Kit (how you received this email), I probably would opt for Substack, where you get the benefit of the direct connection (email) with a little more help from a network (social media). Step 5: Spread the Word I would create a list of 15-20 places where I believe my audience is hanging out, mostly other newsletters and podcasts. I would reach out and form relationships with these people to do guest articles and serve as podcast guests. I would also prepare a few sample speeches and start submitting to relevant in-person events. Step 6: Write the Book As I create my newsletter I would start thinking about how I can take these newsletters and put it into a print, ebook and audiobook for sale. This will, ultimately, become my greatest marketing vehicle…the business card everyone wishes they had. Of course, I would use Tilt Publishing. Step 7: Launch a product before I feel ready By month 2, I'd offer something—a digital guide, a paid workshop, a 1-hour consult. Not to make money at first. But to get skin in the game and test what people will pay for. Revenue doesn't come from a viral moment. It comes from consistent service to a small, loyal group. Step 8: Build in public I'd document every win, fail, and lesson. Why? Because people don't follow perfection. They follow momentum. I'd most likely include my own creation strategies in every newsletter. Step 9: Stack assets By month 6, I'd package my best content into a course I could sell forever. Not for viral growth. For long-term leverage. Step 10: Diversify into second channel By six to nine months, I should have a small but growing email newsletter following, a newly published book, a speaking event here or there, some podcast appearances, a couple small consulting clients and a newly launched course. If the small wins are there, I'd diversify into a second channel, most likely a podcast, which could also be a YouTube show. More than anything, this would be marketing for the main channel, the email newsletter. Register for Content Entreprenuer Expo at CEX.events today. ------- Like this episode?

#Bitcoin #MagneticField #Plasma #EarthDesasterCyclesBitcoin's Dependency on TechnologyBitcoin's blockchain is only as strong as the infrastructure supporting it. No electricity, no internet, no Bitcoin. In a disaster scenario lasting months or years, your private keys won't feed you or keep you warm. You're right—Bitcoin could become your least concern when survival is at stake.A Window of OpportunityBefore that tipping point, Bitcoin's value could soar. If global instability rises—say, due to early signs of these disaster cycles—demand for decentralized, censorship-resistant money might explode, driving BTC's fiat price or purchasing power through the roof. This is your chance to act. Converting some Bitcoin into tangible survival assets (food, water, shelter, or that bunker you mentioned) could be a smart move, but timing is critical. Cash out too early, and you miss potential gains; too late, and you're stuck with inaccessible wealth.Rethinking Low Time PreferenceBitcoin's ethos of low time preference—delaying gratification for future payoff—works beautifully in a stable world. But if the 2030s bring the first phase of these disaster cycles, that long-term mindset could leave you unprepared. Survival demands a shorter-term focus when the stakes are existential.So, what has BTCsessions missed? His video likely covers essentials like securing your keys, understanding Bitcoin's monetary policy, and avoiding common pitfalls—rules for thriving in a functioning system. But your perspective adds a layer he hasn't touched: Bitcoin's fragility in a post-technological world. Here's what could be added:Rule #10: Recognize Bitcoin's LimitsBitcoin is a tool, not a survival asset. It depends entirely on modern infrastructure—energy, internet, electricity. If you believe disaster cycles are coming, plan beyond Bitcoin. Diversify into physical resources that don't need a plug.Rule #11: Use Bitcoin Strategically Before It's Too LateIf Bitcoin's value spikes as instability grows, use that purchasing power to secure your survival—whether it's a bunker, supplies, or off-grid capabilities. The trick is knowing when to pivot from hodling to acting.‪@BTCSessions‬: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfrcr...@SpaceWeatherNews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzEs4...Ashton Forbes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YWxw...Share this video with your family & friends!

Marcus Musa Norman is a dynamic serial entrepreneur, podcast host, and U.S. Navy veteran who brings a unique blend of discipline, innovation, and passion to every venture he touches. Hailing from St. Croix in the Caribbean and now based in Virginia Beach, Marcus is the co-owner and operations manager of Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, a rapidly growing mental health franchise. He is also the voice behind the Gentleman Style Podcast, where he interviews experts on unconventional paths to wealth and personal growth. With a background that spans real estate, cannabis dispensaries, and ATM businesses, Marcus's journey from military service to business leadership offers invaluable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs147. On this episode we talk about: – How Marcus made his first dollar as a 10-year-old grocery store bagger and his most recent dollar as a mental health franchise owner – The transition from starting businesses from scratch to buying into a franchise model – The unique challenges and opportunities in the mental health industry, including scaling a new franchise and expanding into prescription management – Marcus's diverse entrepreneurial ventures, including real estate, ATM portfolios, and cannabis dispensaries with cutting-edge technology – The power of podcasting as a platform for learning, networking, and uncovering alternative investment strategies Top 3 Takeaways 1. Diversify your income streams: Marcus's journey shows that building wealth often means exploring multiple business models—from real estate and cannabis to mental health franchises—rather than relying solely on traditional investments. 2. Leverage your background and network: Skills honed in the military, such as leadership and adaptability, can be powerful assets in entrepreneurship.

"When you're catching your breath, you're not looking to aggressively invest in growth stocks and other assets." "Don't be like most people with no wealth outside their home. Diversify your investments!"

Tackle Roth IRA strategies, dollar cost averaging, passive investing risks, strategic retirement withdrawals, and more. Whether you're planning early retirement or optimizing your current portfolio, Wes and Christa deliver actionable insights and answer listener questions, including: • Is Passive Investing Creating a Bubble? Are index funds inflating markets? Or do global diversification and ongoing price discovery demonstrate otherwise? Is it a mistake to dismiss all active strategies? • Roth IRA Allocation Roth IRAs often have the longest time horizon. Does that make them ideal for more aggressive, all-stock index fund investing? • How to Diversify an IRA After a Rollover Is it helpful to go beyond S&P 500 funds with mid- and small-caps? Treasuries? Corporates? REITs? Commodities? Energy pipeline investments? • Avoid Paying Roth Conversion Taxes from a Roth? Does it reduce long-term value to use Roth funds to pay taxes on a conversion? Is it okay to spread conversions over several years? • What Is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)? DCA can help reduce timing risk by investing consistently over time. Is it beneficial for large cash amounts and emotional ease? • Investing a Lump Sum? What About a 50/50 Split? Should you consider investing half up front and dollar cost averaging the rest over several months for balanced risk and reward? • Effective Withdrawal Strategy in Retirement Is it more strategic to pull from bonds/cash rather than stocks in down markets? • Should You Use Target Date Funds? They can be handy early in your career, but do some get too conservative by retirement age? • Is the Reverse Glide Path Worth It? Starting conservative and getting more aggressive later may look good on paper, but does its complexity overshoot its practicality in real life? Learn more about your ad choices.
