Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Warm-Up - Oil Reserves taking a hit - Getting to the recent high profile earnings - Market Top Calls (again) Markets - ALL TIME HIGHS - Then some consolidation - Lets round out earnings - Situational Awareness Update - SpaceX Bounces... Etsy - Layoffs With Better Numbers - Etsy is cutting about 220 jobs, or 12% of its workforce. - Management said the cuts were not primarily about cost savings or AI. ----- CEO Kruti Patel Goyal stated the restructuring aims to simplify the organization, remove management layers, and speed up decision-making to better compete against massive rivals like Amazon, Temu, and TikTok Shop - Q2 revenue was about $668 million and core marketplace sales improved. - Etsy also authorized another $2 billion share buyback. - Comes after selling Depop to eBay for about $1.4 billion. Polysilicon - Tariffs Plus Price Floors - U.S. policy adds a 15% tariff and minimum import prices on polysilicon and solar products. - Goal is to protect domestic production from low-cost foreign competition. - U.S. share of global polysilicon capacity fell from about 50% in 2005 to under 2% in 2024. - First Solar and T1 Energy jumped on the announcement. ---- The same playbook - rinse and repeat Chipotle - Salmonella Returns - Minnesota officials linked a salmonella outbreak to jalapenos served at Chipotle. - Chipotle removed the affected pepper supply and switched growers. - Shares fell roughly 8%-10% as investors remembered the company's earlier food-safety problems. - This is on top of the lettuce situation with Sweetgreen- look at  STOCK CHART FOR SG Michael Burry - Calling a Major Top - Michael Burry says the market may be near a "major top." - Warned of the possibility of a 1987-style market drop. - He is short names including Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and semiconductor stocks. - Main concern is stretched valuations and crowded trades unwinding quickly. - This may be the 100th top he has called since the GFC ---- NVIDIA TURNS GPUs INTO AN ASSET CLASS - Nvidia signed preliminary agreements with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to mobilize more than $500 billion for AI infrastructure. - The Wall Street firms would create dedicated pools of capital to finance Nvidia-based data centers and compute infrastructure at what Nvidia calls attractive rates for customers. - Jensen Huang: “This is really the first time that technology chips have become an investable asset class.” Nvidia says the compute assets now generate revenue and can increasingly be financed like infrastructure. - Nvidia could backstop as much as 25% of individual investments on a case-by-case basis - potentially up to about $125 billion if applied across the full program. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE BREAKS 300 MILLION - The Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.1 million barrels to 298.7 million barrels for the week ended Aug. 7 - below 300 million for the first time since January 1983. - The SPR started 2026 around 415 million barrels, meaning more than 100 million barrels have already come out this year as releases were used to offset disruptions from the Iran conflict. - The reserve's authorized storage capacity is roughly 714 million barrels, leaving current inventories at about 42% of capacity. - Oil on the rise last week Earnings and such Toyota - Big Buyback, Better Outlook - Toyota raised its annual operating-profit forecast 13%, helped by the weaker yen. - Announced a share buyback worth up to $6.3 billion. - Quarterly operating profit still fell 9%, hurt by China weakness and higher Middle East-related costs. McDonald's - Value Problem - U.S. same-store sales rose just 0.8%, below expectations and well below last year's 2.5% growth. - Management blamed weak execution of value promotions and fewer digital deals. (and probably because everyone is taking weight loss drugs - see above) - Lower-income customer traffic remains a major pressure point. - McDonald's is bringing back more digital offers and loyalty promotions to drive traffic. Eli Lilly - Weight-Loss Machine - Lilly crushed Q2 expectations as Mounjaro and Zepbound drove most of the growth. - Mounjaro sales hit $9.94 billion; Zepbound brought in $4.93 billion. - Raised 2026 revenue guidance to $85-$87 billion. - Verzenio, its major breast-cancer drug, remains one of Lilly's biggest non-obesity products. - Lilly continues widening its lead over Novo Nordisk in the obesity-drug market. Disney - Parks Keep Printing Money - Quarterly adjusted EPS rose 28% to $2.06, beating the $1.86 estimate. - Parks and experiences revenue increased 10% to nearly $10 billion. - Global park attendance grew 4%. - Disney is selling its 50% stake in A+E Networks to Hearst for an estimated $1.2 billion. Oil - OPEC Adds Barrels, Maybe - OPEC+ agreed to raise September production targets by another 188,000 barrels per day. - The increase completes the rollback of a 1.65 million-barrel-per-day supply cut dating back to 2023. (In other words - planned so not a surprise) - Actual supply remains constrained because several producers are already pumping below quota. - Any normalization around the Strait of Hormuz could suddenly make OPEC+'s additional barrels much more important. Berkshire Hathaway - Greg Abel Starts Spending - Q2 operating earnings rose 16% to about $13 billion. - Berkshire bought $23.5 billion of stocks and sold just $3.7 billion - its first quarter as a net stock buyer in 14 quarters. - Bought back $4.5 billion of Berkshire shares, versus only $235 million in Q1. - Cash dropped from roughly $380 billion to $365 billion as Abel starts putting the massive cash pile to work. - Important shift: Buffett is still chairman, but this is one of the clearest signs yet of how Greg Abel may allocate capital differently as CEO. Situational Awareness - Nearly Blows Up, Investors Want Back In - The fund lost 67% in July after leveraged AI bets collapsed and forced a major stock sale to Citadel. - Despite the blowup, Situational Awareness was still up about 80% for 2026 because of huge earlier gains. - Bloomberg says Silicon Valley investors are already asking to put more money into the fund. - Situational Awareness is currently telling prospective investors it is not accepting new capital. - The fund has also continued making large private investments even after the near-collapse. --- Most recent was a $400B ---- There is some talk that Citadel made out like a bandit on the rescue Mercedes AMG - The Car Literally Brands You - Two Mercedes AMG owners filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the metal AMG logo embedded in the seat becomes dangerously hot in the sun. - One driver says he suffered first- and second-degree burns, with a dermatologist describing the injury as "AMG inscribed." - The lawsuit wants Mercedes to cover damages and remove the metal logos from affected vehicles. - Hard to beat this one: pay AMG money and get the logo branded into your back. Europe's Drought - History Starts Popping Out - Extreme drought and low river levels are exposing things that have been underwater or hidden for decades or centuries. - In Serbia, sunken German World War II warships have reappeared in the Danube. - In Britain, dry ground revealed outlines of medieval buildings; mammoth remains and ancient structures have also surfaced elsewhere. - Serious drought story, but visually one of the strangest side effects of the summer. Golden Toilet - $6 Million Flush - The 18-carat gold toilet was ripped out of Blenheim Palace in a five-minute raid and has never been recovered - but there is a conviction. - Prosecutors used phone data, forensic evidence and planning activity to link the gang to the theft. - One defendant had cased the palace beforehand and photographed entry points; another man had already pleaded guilty and admitted helping move the stolen gold. - Prosecutors believe the 98-kilo toilet was quickly cut up or melted down and sold as gold. - So the conviction was based on evidence of the robbery and disposal - not on recovering the actual toilet. Final Follow Up SpaceX - Space Junk Smashes Into the Moon - A dead SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage crashed into the moon at about 5,400 mph after drifting through space since January 2025. - The roughly 4-ton, school-bus-size object kicked up a lunar dust plume that astronomers detected from Chile. - The impact was accidental - solar activity and gravity gradually pushed the abandoned rocket stage onto a collision course. - NASA and SpaceX are now discussing ways to prevent future lunar crashes as more hardware heads toward the moon. - NEED Space garbage Trucks - something we have discussed on show for years (see next) Space Garbage Trucks - This Is Becoming a Business - Astroscale is building spacecraft designed to inspect, capture and remove dead satellites and other orbital debris. - Its ADRAS-J mission demonstrated close approach and inspection of a large piece of existing space junk - a key step before actually grabbing and removing debris. - ClearSpace is developing similar debris-removal spacecraft, including missions designed to rendezvous with and capture abandoned rocket hardware. - The business model is basically orbital towing: governments and satellite operators pay to remove dangerous junk or service aging spacecraft. - With tens of thousands of tracked objects already in orbit, "space sanitation" could become a real infrastructure business.   Love the Show?

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers are deep into the doldrums of fall camp, where the dock is far behind, the island isn't any closer and the content machine still has to be fed. After a quick detour into concert-ticket panic and a YouTube comment calling out their “bro talk,” the guys dive into the story that briefly set Oregon Twitter on fire: the rumored collarbone injury to running back Jordon Davison.

Dave Simons, Partner & Managing Director of One Private Wealth, joins Chris and Amy and is hesitant to say that we're for sure in the late summer economic doldrums; what is margin buying?; why is the dividend yield at the S&P 500 so low?; are we finally seeing some dropping home prices in some areas?

For sailors travelling under canvas, the doldrums were among the most feared waters on Earth. Ships could remain trapped for days or weeks beneath an unmoving sky as water spoiled, sickness spread and frightened crews searched for supernatural explanations. This episode explores the dark folklore of the dead calm, including wind-calling rituals, cursed “Jonahs,” Neptune's equator ceremonies, phantom ships, the albatross and the terrifying delirium known as calenture.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/doldrums.htmlhttps://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/tradewinds.htmlhttps://archive.org/download/legendssuperstit00bass/legendssuperstit00bass.pdfhttps://archive.org/download/cu31924079619411/cu31924079619411.pdfhttps://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid%3A53134a1e-1d2f-4d88-909f-f3d840702a8e/files/rtd96k375nhttps://www.brigantineneptun.com/knowledge-base/king-neptune-ceremony-line-crossinghttps://archive.org/download/crossinglinetale00lyde/crossinglinetale00lyde.pdfhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43997/the-rime-of-the-ancient-mariner-text-of-1834https://www.britannica.com/science/calenturehttps://www.britannica.com/place/horse-latitudeshttps://bowcreektoanatahan.wordpress.com/the-sails-hang-dead-a-history-of-the-doldrums/https://blackthornandstone.com/2020/05/21/here-be-monsters-sailor-stories-nautical-folklore/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

.... .what do we talk about at the end of July.... Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to for a conversation around how he is navigating this low pricing, low sentiment, low news, and low volume Summer Doldrums period in his portfolio.   This includes how he is approaching advanced developers versus earlier stage developers, and the spectrum of different gold and silver exploration companies.   We start off discussing the overall sector sentiment is mirroring the bearish metals and miners pricing backdrop.  This is also evidenced in the very low volume levels in trading the last couple months from the large producers and sector ETFs all the way down to the junior PM stocks.  There has not been nearly as much newsflow as anticipated across the space, where some companies have either sat on some news or scaled down their anticipated work programs.   Erik discusses how he is still animated by companies that have work catalysts that can impact their valuations and create alpha in the sector, and prefers those over more mature companies that have work programs that may only move the needle incrementally, and get stuck moving with sector beta and metals price direction.     * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website    For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

A butterfly farm in Aruba. A chrysalis full of goo. And one strange biological detail scientists call ""imaginal cells"" — the secret blueprint hidden inside the dissolving caterpillar that decides what it becomes next. Lance Wallnau says the same hidden blueprint is sitting inside YOU right now — and most believers will die without ever activating it. What if the ""stuck"" season you're in isn't a setback... but a cocoon? Lance unpacks Convergence Theory and Constraint Theory — the behavioral science (developed by Israeli physicist Eliyahu Goldratt) that explains why 80% of called people never reach the assignment God put them on earth to fulfill. And what are the 3 hidden numbers behind every $100 million operator — and the master teacher Jesus modeled? In this episode: • The ""imaginal cell"" revelation God showed Lance at a butterfly farm — and why you can't fly until you find the right people to agree with what's inside you • The 4 phases of convergence: Sovereign Foundation → Spiritual Formation → Gift Discovery → Life Maturing → Convergence (and why most ministries crash in stage 4) • The Doldrums — the spiritual ""no wind"" zone that breaks 80% of called leaders • Why your CONSTRAINT — not your gifting — is what's actually capping your altitude (the sandbag principle) • The 93% / 80% / 50% formula behind every $100M CEO — and why Trump operates exactly this way (most people totally misread him) • The Sergius Paulus pattern: why Paul's FIRST convert after being sent out by the Holy Spirit was a Roman political ruler — and what that means for the seven mountains mandate today • The ""5 Questions From Mastery"" download Lance got during a massage in the Caribbean — and why wisdom isn't the answer, it's the question • Why a 95%+ achievement drive will actually destroy you (and how God forces the Sabbath reset) This isn't motivational.

This podcast discusses how we can use the doldrums we may experience as times to propel us forward and help us naturally progress.

We recently got the April 2026 data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, which tells the continued story of weakness across the country, but not uniformly so. For context, note that their House Price Index is now 15.9% down from peak on average across the country, or excluding Auckland, down 10.9%. Despite this, … Continue reading "New Zealand Property Remains In The Doldrums With More Questions Ahead."

What do our children need most from us in the unsteady years of middle school? First, says Head of Middle School Andy Reed, they need our availability. But making ourselves fully and honestly available runs contrary to so many modern patterns of life, from work demands and short schedules to the ever-tempting screen. In fact, Mr. Reed calls it the Mount Everest of Modern Parenting: replacing frenetic patterns with quiet, contemplative patterns for our own mental management, so that we can be available to the boy who needs us at unexpected times.

Mike and Ruth Merenda have been making music together as the Mammals since 2001, with a little break in 2008 to play as Mike & Ruthy. They've been back as the Mammals since 2017 with a couple of great albums, most recently 'Touch Grass' Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Mike, born and raised in New Hampshire, picked up the banjo after he met fiddler Ruth Unger. Ruth is the daughter of Jay Unger, a much loved folk musician who is best known for his composition, "Ashokan Farewell," used as the theme tune to the Ken Burns 1990 documentary 'The Civil War,' which you now have playing in your head. Essentially, Ruth grew up surrounded by folk music, which she talked all about on her last appearance on Basic Folk.This time around, we dig into a few of the songs on their double album 'Touch Grass.' There are A LOT to choose from: seventeen tracks in all. It was a four-year project recorded at their Humble Abode studio in the Catskills. The songs offer a mix of socially conscious "daytime" folk-rock and introspective "nighttime" Americana. We get into the gospel influence on "O The Cruelty," the barebones arrangements of "Old Friend," and keeping the sadness in check with "Doldrums." They also talk a bit about their home venue, the Ashokan Center, where their musical festival the Hoot takes place. Let it be known that the center has a ton of old farm equipment and no, they do not want any more, so don't ask them to take it.

1.25.26 Pastor Tommy shares this message will reflect on the road to Emmaus, arguing that spiritual stagnation comes from subtly making faith about ourselves rather than Jesus. Using personal stories, Scripture and metaphors of ocean currents and drifting, we will be warned that believers naturally drift away unless they intentionally tether themselves to Jesus, fully surrendering rather than living in a comfortable middle ground between worldly desires and wholehearted devotion. Modern Christianity's focus on personal fulfillment is subtle. The Christian life is not about achieving one's dreams but about losing oneself in Christ, whose glory far surpasses human perspective. The message calls listeners to examine whether they have abandoned their “first love,” repent, and actively return to the practices and passion that once marked their faith, emphasizing that true love for Christ should deepen, grow, and move “further” over time, leading to sacrificial living for God and others.To get connected visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.midtownvineyardchurch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...To Donate ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://midtownvineyard.churchcenter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠....

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, with iconic illustrations by Jules Feiffer—a timeless children's fantasy that doubles as a philosophical guide to paying attention.First published in 1961, The Phantom Tollbooth follows Milo, a bored boy who drives through a mysterious tollbooth and enters a world where words grow on trees, numbers are mined from the ground, time literally ticks, and curiosity determines whether you move forward or get stuck in the Doldrums. Along the way, Milo meets unforgettable characters like Tock the Watchdog, Humbug, Alec Bings, and the princesses Rhyme and Reason.In this episode, Phil and Marisa explore why this book has endured for over 60 years—selling nearly five million copies—despite early bans and challenges over its “difficult” language and ideas. We break down the novel's playful but pointed critique of modern life: distraction, speed, consumerism, and the quiet danger of not thinking deeply enough.We discuss the power of language and education, the balance between words and numbers, and why wisdom isn't just about learning facts—but learning how, why, and when to use what you know. The conversation also touches on the book's adaptations, including the 1970 animated/live-action film, stage versions, and ongoing interest in a modern remake. At its heart, The Phantom Tollbooth reminds us that life isn't boring—it's only boring when curiosity disappears.We also share what we've been reading outside of Book Club lately.Upcoming Book Club picks-I'll Be Waiting For You (and other stories) – Kim Bo-Young (February 2026)-The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (March 2026)-Marisa pick (April 2026)-How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)-Marisa pick (June 2026)-Days at the Torunka Café – Satoshi Yagisawa (July 2026)
