US equities were lower in Wednesday afternoon trading, as stocks ended just off worst levels, with the Dow Jones, S&P500, and Nasdaq finishing down 197bps, 168bps, and 139bps respectively. Today's $16B auction of 20-year notes tailed by 1.2bps, with bond yields rising, curve bear steepening, pressuring equities in the afternoon. Mixed retailer earnings, mostly upbeat AI headlines, among corporate news items, while budget reconciliation bill remains stalled and Israeli, Iranian geopolitical tensions in focus.

Voor het eerst in ruim 100 jaar tijd krijgt Amerika moeilijk nieuws te verwerken van kredietbeoorelaar Moody's. Het mag zich namelijk niet meer tot de Triple-A-club rekenen. Volgens Moody's is de staatsschuld te hoog opgelopen, en is het geen gegeven meer dat de overheid z'n schulden afbetaalt. Maar wat ga jij daarvan merken? Financiënminister Scott Bessent noemt het de schuld van de vorige regering, die te veel heeft uitgegeven. Maar ondertussen is Donald Trump juist van plan om de belastingen te verlagen. Hoe lang kan Amerika nog door blijven gaan zonder de staatsschuld aan te pakken? En hoe kan het die schuld dan afbouwen? Ook dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over een ander historisch moment. De potscherven van de Brexit worden bij elkaar geveegd, en de EU en het VK doen een poging om die weer bij elkaar te lijmen. Onder druk van Trump's handelsoorlog en geopolitieke spanningen kwamen de twee machten bij elkaar. Conclusie: de Britten krijgen weer een soort light-versie van een EU-lidmaatschap. Verder hoor je over de nieuwe topman van JP Morgan Chase. Die is nog niet uitgekozen, maar heeft nu wel de kans om zich op de kaart te zetten. De beleggersdag van de grootste bank van de VS staat in het teken van de opvolger van Jamie Dimon, die al heeft aangegeven binnen nu en vijf jaar te stoppen. Wij vertellen je wie kans maken op die titel van machtigste bankier ter wereld, en wiens kans het grootste is. En we hebben een saillant detail over Just Eat Takeaway. De overname door Prosus wordt door verschillende aandeelhouders bekritiseerd. Maar ook Just Eat zelf was er niet meteen blij mee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het is alweer bijna tijd om je klaar te maken voor de beursweek. Maar wij zijn je voor. Beleggers kunnen van zich laten horen op de jaarvergadering bij Shell en Amazon. En cijfers zijn er ook nog. Zoals die van Home Depot, of ASR. Maar Corné van Zeijl van Cardano heeft het zwaartepunt op de maandag, wanneer een stortvloed aan Chinese cijfers uitkomt. En die moeten uitwijzen hoe China er nu écht voor staat in die handelsoorlog met de Verenigde Staten. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd! Iedere week vertelt een vriend van de show waar jouw focus moet liggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Zuckerberg zal geen fijne dag hebben. Die wordt namelijk ingehaald door zijn grote concurrent, TikTok. Moederbedrijf Bytedance ziet de omzet met 20 procent stijgen, ondanks de pogingen van de VS om TikTok op zwart te zetten. Daardoor zou Bytedance eind dit jaar even groot zijn als Zuckerberg's Meta. Christine Lagarde schreef al drie keer geschiedenis: als eerste vrouwelijke financiënminister in Frankrijk, als eerste vrouw die het IMF leidde, en als eerste vrouwelijke baas van de Europese Centrale Bank. Maar daar kan een vierde bladzijde bijkomen. Volgens Bloomberg maakt ze namelijk ook goede kans op het stoeltje van Klaus Schwab bij het World Economic Forum. Gaat ze daarvoor vervroegd vertrekken bij de ECB? Verder gaat het over Novo Nordisk. Beleggers zijn in de war, want de topman vertrekt opeens. Vermoedelijke reden: de farmaceut verliest de competitie om afvalmedicatie van concurrent Eli Lilly. En dat raakt de prijs van het aandeel te hard. Maar de vraag blijft of het wegsturen van de ceo dat gaat oplossen. Je hoort ook wat er aan de hand is bij Coinbase. Het cryptoplatform krijgt twee klappen te verwerken. Iemand perst ze af, maar de toezichthouder denkt ook dat Coinbase zelf beleggers uitperst. En we blikken terug op de week van Donald Trump. Zijn regering sloot plotseling een tijdelijke deal met China. En zelf zat hij ook niet stil, want hij wist honderden miljarden dollars los te peuteren in het Midden Oosten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opsporing verzocht. Apple wordt aangevallen door iemand uit eigen land. Hij draagt vaak een rood petje, gebruikt een bronzer en heeft een lange stropdas. Je hoort het goed: president Trump heeft de aanval geopend op Apple.Hij is helemaal klaar met Tim Cook, laat 'ie weten. Die is productie van China naar India aan het verplaatsen. iPhones moeten voortaan in India gemaakt worden, om zo Trumps heffingen te ontlopen. Tot woede van Trump, die wil juist dat de telefoons in Amerika worden gemaakt.Apple zit door de ruzie in een onmogelijke positie. Of het blijft in China en betaalt zich scheel aan heffingen. Of Apple gaat voor India, maar dan heeft het ruzie met Trump. Gaat het naar de VS, dan heeft Apple ruzie met klanten. Want die moeten dan honderden dollars meer betalen... Deze aflevering proberen we Cook (en jou als Apple-belegger) op weg te helpen met dat vraagstuk. Praten we ook over Netflix. Dat heeft juist een luxeprobleem. Het gaat ten onder aan zijn eigen succes!Ook hebben we het over het vertrek van Hein Schumacher bij Unilever. Die ging (totaal onverwachts) ineens via de achterdeur weg. We weten nu de reden.Verder hebben we het over de cijfers van Alibaba, die belangrijker zijn dan ooit. Die van Walmart, belangrijker dan ooit. En we vertellen je welke autobouwer het gigantisch goed doet. Je hoort het goed: een autobouwer, die het in deze tijd goed doet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gold ist so teuer wie noch nie und in vielen deutschen Haushalten schlummern teils unentdeckte Schätze. Die Brosche der Uroma oder Gold in alten Handys - das Potenzial ist riesig. Aber wie geht man beim Goldverkauf vor? Worauf sollte man achten? Welche Fehler sollte man vermeiden?Darüber sprechen die ntv-Moderatoren Raimund Brichta und Etienne Bell in dieser aktuellen Folge von "Brichta und Bell - Wirtschaft einfach und schnell" mit dem Kunst- und Antiquitätenhändler David Suppes.Bei Fragen und Anregungen schreibt uns gerne: brichtaundbell@ntv.deUnsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.htmlWir verarbeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Angebot unserer Podcasts Daten.

US equities finished mixed in Wednesday trading, with the Dow Jones closing down 21bps, and the S&P500 and Nasdaq finishing up 10bps and 72bps respectively. Fairly directionless trading in today's session, with nothing particularly incremental on trade, though the White House hinted another deal could be announced when Trump returns from his overseas trip, while media reports said Japan, South Korea deals are close. Fed's Jefferson noted tariffs could slow growth and boost inflation but the Fed is well-positioned in that event.

De details van de mega-deal die president Trump sloot in Saoedi-Arabië liggen op straat. Bedrijven die chips verkopen of werken met AI harken voor miljarden dollars aan opdrachten binnen. Ze werken voor (of met) de golfstaat samen.En daar zit een gevaar. Amerika probeerde de afgelopen jaren andere landen op achterstand te houden, door met exportrestricties te strooien. Het land wilde dé AI-supermacht worden. Met de deals die het nu in Saoedi-Arabië sluit, wordt dat moeilijker.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Creëert Trump op deze manier zijn eigen concurrentie op het gebied van AI? Ook hoor je welke bedrijven (naast Nvidia) miljarden gaan verdienen aan de chip-honger van de oliesjeiks.Elon Musk was mee en sloot met zijn satellietenbedrijf Starlink een deal. Nog meer goed nieuws voor hem: Tesla werkt aan een nieuwe beloningspakket, nu hij kan fluiten naar een bonus van ruim 55 miljard dollar.Kan het nog gekker? Jawel. Boeing heeft een deal van 200 miljard dollar binnen gesleept in Qatar, ook dankzij verkoper Trump.En we hebben het deze aflevering over ABN Amro. De inkomsten én winst daalden en de kosten liepen op. Toch was ABN het best presterende aandeel binnen de AEX. We kijken hoe dat komt en vertellen je over een grote verandering die de kersverde ceo doorvoert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zur Wochenmitte ist die Dynamik vorerst aus den Märkten raus. Gestern stiegen S&P und NASDAQ weiter an und haben damit die YTD Performance wieder positiv gedreht. Heute Morgen legen die an den S&P 500 gebundenen Futures um 0,2 % zu, die Nasdaq-100-Futures stiegen um 0,3 % und auch der Dow Jones liegt mit einem Plus von 84 Punkten leicht im grünen Bereich. Damit setzt sich der positive Trend vom Wochenbeginn fort. Am Dienstag konnte der S&P 500 bereits um 0,7 % zulegen, der Nasdaq Composite sogar zum fünften Mal in Folge um starke 1,6 %. Zwar rutschte der Dow leicht ins Minus – vor allem wegen Verlusten bei UnitedHealth – doch insgesamt bleibt auch er im Wochenvergleich im Plus. Der Grund für die gute Stimmung: Die USA und China haben am Montag eine 90-tägige Senkung der Zölle angekündigt. Das sorgt für spürbare Erleichterung am Markt und bringt neue Kaufdynamik – besonders in risikofreudige Sektoren.

Het draaide deze handelsdag weer om één man: Donald Trump. Hij zei dat 'ie verder wilde onderhandelen met Xi Jinping (deze week nog) en stapte in het vliegtuig naar het Midden-Oosten. Koud geland in Saoedi-Arabië sloot hij voor 600 miljard dollar aan deals.Twee bedrijven springen eruit. Boeing en Nvidia. De laatste mag ineens duizenden van zijn beste AI-chips gaan verkopen. De exportrestricties die de vorige Amerikaanse regering had verzonnen? Die worden opgeheven. Deze aflevering kijken we naar die ommezwaai en welke andere beursbedrijven gaan profiteren.Europa profiteert voorlopig nog niet, want zij zitten nog altijd niet met Trump om tafel. De Amerikaanse minister van Financien zegt dat dat er voorlopig niet in zit. Hoe lang moet Ursula vonder Leyen naar haar telefoon kijken en wat betekent het dat 'wij' geen deal hebben?Dat, maar ook hebben we het over de problemen van Alfen. Over de bonusrel bij KLM en de ontslagronde bij Microsoft.Ook hebben we het over de Amerikaanse economie. Daar regent het goed nieuws. De inflatie is lager dan gedacht én de recessievrees kan weer in de ijskast. Die trekken economen in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En Capital Intereconomía, Paco Pérez, analista independiente, comenta la situación de los mercados financieros. Los mercados pasan por un momento de calma tras el anuncio del acuerdo entre China y Estados Unidos. El Ibex se beneficia de esta situación, “el techo del IBEX-35, parece que no tiene fin” comenta Pérez. Sin embargo, sobre el Nasdaq y el Dow Jones, el experto financiero opina que “lo peor no ha pasado todavía, el mercado, algo de incertidumbre tiene que traer, el mínimo de abril va a ser un buen soporte“. En este consultorio, Paco Pérez, también responde las dudas de nuestros oyentes y analiza la situación de varias empresas. Mapfre y Riot son dos empresas que según el analista, “tienen una tendencia alcista”. Sin embargo, en cuanto a Mapfre, apunta que “ es lógico una recogida de beneficios, a corto plazo” y advierte sobre Riot, “es alcista, pero con riesgo si pierde el soporte”.

The US completes a deal with China and Democrats lose their minds. The Dow Jones futures spike and Americans all over the country love it. Trump is going to sign an EO today reducing the cost of prescription drugs. I'm pretty sure Democrats are going to be mad about it. Will President Trump suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus and Democrats show up to ICE detention center in New Jersey and cause chaos. 

Global equity markets surged as investors cheered the US-China trade deal, with the Dow Jones jumping over 1,100 points and the S&P 500 closing at its highest level since March 3rd. Technology stocks, particularly those with significant exposure to China, saw strong gains. Apple is poised to implement iPhone price hikes, while NRG Energy is betting on the future of gas with a $12 billion LS deal. Meanwhile, Treasury yields rose as the US-China trade agreement pushed investors away from safe havens, causing oil prices to climb to a two-week high amid tariff reductions. Gold, however, slumped nearly 3% as its appeal dimmed. Closer to home, Aussie shares are expected to open higher on Tuesday after hitting two-month highs. The Aussie dollar continues to slide against the US dollar, while investors keep a close eye on Life 360’s earnings update and upcoming sentiment surveys The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.

Im Gespräch mit Vermögensverwalter Nikolas Kreuz geht es um die spannende Schnittstelle zwischen Börsenpsychologie und Computerhandel. Folgen Algorithmen ähnlichen Mustern wie menschliche Anleger?

Eindelijk weten we waar Trump het al dagen over had: het is een handelsdeal met de Britten. Die 'major announcement' is volgens de Amerikanen en Britten zelfs een 'historische deal'. Veel details kregen we nog niet. Die moeten nog worden uitgewerkt, zegt Trump. De hoofdlijnen krijgen we wel: het is vooral de Amerikaanse landbouw die erg profiteert. De deal is ook een opsteker voor Boeing, want de Britten kopen voor 10 miljard dollar aan vliegtuigen van dat bedrijf. Trump belooft daarnaast dat er ook druk wordt onderhandeld over handelsdeals met andere landen. Wanneer Europa (of misschien zelfs China) eindelijk aan de beurt is bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarnaast hebben we het over de Amerikaanse chipbeperkingen. Die worden ietsje soepeler dankzij deze president Trump. Volgens Bloomberg komt er een uitzondering voor AI-chips op de beperkingen die zijn voorganger Joe Biden heeft ingevoerd. Wat Trump zelf te winnen heeft met deze versoepeling, gaan we bespreken. De chipaandelen profiteren in ieder geval: ze staan allemaal hoger vandaag. En Trump heeft voor de zoveelste keer uitgehaald naar Fed-baas Jerome Powell. Trump schrijft op zijn eigen Truth Social dat Powell een 'fool' is, die geen enkel idee heeft. Maar zegt Trump ook: 'Verder mag ik hem heel erg!' Verder hoor je wat de nieuwste tegenvaller voor Elon Musk is en hoe Chinese aandelen profiteren van het oplaaiende conflict tussen India en Pakistan. En we kijken naar de koffieprijzen, want die stijgen gigantisch volgens koffieboer JDE Peets. Dat betekent in Nederland waarschijnlijk weer ruzies met de grote supermarkten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US equities were higher in very choppy Wednesday trading, a bit off session highs, with the Dow Jones, S&P500, and Nasdaq closing up 70bps, 43bps, and 27bps respectively. FOMC takeaways were mixed, noting the bank is attentive to fears on both sides of its dual mandate though market still pricing in a slightly more dovish Fed outlook. Trump administration is planning to rescind chip curbs and will not enforce Biden-era AI diffusion rule. Bloomberg reported about Apple exploring AI search for its browser causing shares of Alphabet to slump.

Veel bedrijven durven de schade van de handelsoorlog nog niet in te schatten, maar Philips hoort daar niet bij. Het bedrijf geeft toe dat het dit jaar minder winst gaat maken. Sterker nog: misschien eindigt ook dit jaar weer in de verliezen. Dat komt vooral door die heffingenoorlog tussen China en de VS. Alles bij elkaar gaat dat Philips tussen de 250 en 300 miljoen euro kosten. Desondanks boekt Philips het eerste kwartaal nog een kleine winst. Maar voor hoe lang nog? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarnaast hebben we het over Palantir, dat ondanks giga-groei wordt afgestraft op Wall Street. Het bedrijf dat software maakt, vooral voor het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie, boekte bijna 40 procent meer omzet dan een jaar geleden, ruim boven de verwachting. En die verwachting voor de rest van het jaar wordt ook verhoogd. Eén analist noemt de cijfers zelfs 'om in te lijsten en in het Louvre te hangen'. We vertellen je waarom beleggers toch niet onder de indruk zijn. We kijken nog even naar het nieuwe superwapen van de EU in de strijd tegen Trumps handelsoorlog: een nieuw pakket aan tegenheffingen, ter waarde van 100 miljard euro. Verder heeft Ebusco wéér op het laatste moment een faillissement afgewend: daar was wel de zoveelste kapitaalinjectie voor nodig. En lang verwacht, toch gekomen: bezorgreus DoorDash doet een bod op concurrent Deliveroo, en het bestuur van Deliveroo is akkoord. Voor een kleine 4 miljard dollar koopt het Amerikaanse DoorDash de Britse concurrent. Daarmee heeft Deliveroo er dus nog een paar honderd miljoen dollar extra uitgesleept.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wow, what a week it's been! The Dow Jones and S&P 500 are down about 10 percent, which is causing significant fear among investors. Some are even questioning the current administration's policy on tariffs and their effect on the stock market. On today's show, we'll discuss what tariffs do, their purpose, and their advantages as well as drawbacks. We'll also discuss how previous stock markets have responded historically in order to find the valuation gauges that might be helpful, and even profitable. While the fear index has certainly been jumping, we'll learn what we can and gain some perspective to educate and expand our ability to navigate this new world. Tune in and take control!

Die US-Wirtschaft ist erstmals seit Jahren geschrumpft - ein Schock, der viele überrascht. Doch wir zeigen, warum das kein Zufall ist, welche Rolle massive Goldimporte spielen und wieso ein Börsenindikator, der seit 1945 noch nie daneben lag, ausgerechnet jetzt ein knallhartes Kaufsignal liefert. Während alle von Krise reden, kündigt sich an der Wall Street womöglich der nächste Höhenflug an.Bei Fragen und Anregungen schreibt uns gerne: brichtaundbell@ntv.deUnsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.htmlWir verarbeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Angebot unserer Podcasts Daten.

Elon Musk beloofde bij de presentatie van de laatste kwartaalcijfers dat hij weer meer tijd aan Tesla gaat besteden, maar die belofte lijkt te laat. Al een maand daarvoor is het bestuur van Tesla gestart met een zoektocht naar een nieuwe ceo, meldt The Wall Street Journal, die de zoektocht als ‘serieus’ bestempelt. Deze aflevering bespreken we hoe nijpend de positie van Elon Musk is geworden en of zijn vertrek weer voor rust kan zorgen binnen Tesla en een eind kan maken aan die dalende koersen. En we hebben het over Microsoft en Meta: die twee kwamen met cijfers die alles meevielen. Beleggers waren bang voor tegenvallers door Trumps kamikaze-acties, maar van een anti-Trump-effect hebben Meta en Microsoft vooralsnog geen last. Ze trokken de Amerikaanse beurs omhoog, ondanks een nieuwe tegenvaller uit de VS. Het aantal werklozen is toegenomen, opnieuw een teken dat die economie onder druk staat. En Apple mag van de rechter geen commissies meer heffen over apps van buiten de Appstore. Die uitspraak volgt in een rechtszaak die al jaren speelt. Nog brisanter is dat een bestuurder van Apple onder ede gelogen heeft in die zaak, en dus stafrechtelijk vervolgd kan worden. Je hoort het allemaal in deze aflevering.

De Amerikaanse economie staat met één been in een recessie. Een krimp in het eerste kwartaal, terwijl er juist op groei was gerekend. Er is recessie-angst op Wall Street en kortstondig zelfs even paniek.Deze aflevering kijken we wat er gebeurt als de Amerikanen in een recessie belanden. Wat betekent dat voor (je) Amerikaanse aandelen? Je hoort ook wie zijn schuld het is. Volgens Trump is het niet zijn schuld, maar de schuld van voorganger Biden.Ook gaat het over de stortvloed aan kwartaalcijfers. Kwakkelende autobouwers (Volkswagen, Mercedes en Stellantis), maar ook Nederlandse beursbedrijven: Adyen. Houdt zich aan z'n beloftes en tóch zijn beleggers ontevreden. Air-France-KLM. Zelfs een partner komt met een waarschuwing, maar de eigenaar van KLM maakt zich geen zorgen. ASMI. Groeit 'gewoon' door, ondanks de handelsoorlog. Met dubbele cijfers! Daar stopt het niet, want we hebben het ook nog over Ebusco. Dat wederom op een rand van faillissement staat én je hoort waarom Bol.com achter Amazon aan gaat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Woedend is het Witte Huis op Amazon. De webwinkel wilde op een deel van de website laten zien hoe erg die handelstarieven van Trump er in hakken. Dat kan de president er niet bij hebben, niet nu hij aan die tarieven aan het morrelen is.Trump komt namelijk de autosector tegemoet. Een aantal heffingen bouwt hij af. Daarmee maakt hij wéér een draai. Deze aflevering kijken we of hij nog meer concessies gaat doen en wat er over blijft van zijn plannen voor de handelsoorlog. En of het nog goed komt tussen hem en Amazon-oprichter Jeff Bezos.Spanningen zijn er ook tussen Microsoft en OpenAI. Jarenlang waren ze de beste vrienden van Sillicon Valley. Zelfs toen de topman van OpenAI ruw op straat werd gezet, ving Satya Nadella van Microsoft hem op. Maar die tijd is voorbij. Ook bespreken we de problemen van chipmaker NXP. Dat waarschuwt voor een 'zeer onzekere omgeving'. En juist van die onzekerheid zijn beleggers niet gecharmeerd. Ook niet van het feit dat de topman ineens met pensioen gaat.Hebben we ook nog goed nieuws en dat komt van de maker van het favoriete drankje van Trump. Coca-Cola zegt dat het (tegen de verwachtingen in) géén last heeft van de tarieven van diezelfde Trump. In tegenstelling tot aartsrivaal Pepsi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nadat Prosus maaltijdbezorger Just Eat Takeaway overnam, dreigt nu hetzelfde te gebeuren bij het Britse Deliveroo. De Amerikaanse concurrent DoorDash wil het bedrijf kopen voor dik 3 miljard euro. Doordash is in de VS al de grootste, maar wil met de inlijving van Deliveroo ook z'n positie in Europa verder uitbouwen. Maar doe je er wel verstandig aan om de eeuwige nummer 2 te kopen? Tegelijk is het een mooi moment om te kijken of beleggers in Just Eat wel een eerlijke prijs krijgen. Of komen die er bekaaid vanaf? En niemand had dat gedacht: het oer-conservatieve ExxonMobil dreigt nog groenere praatjes te krijgen dan de 'Jesse Klaver' onder de oliebedrijven. Eerder deed ExxonMobil al dat duurzame gedoe nog af als een 'schoonheidswedstrijd', die klimaatverandering niet zou stoppen. Ook waarschuwt Klaas Knot dat zijn laatste ECB-vergadering 'echt een ingewikkelde' wordt. Verfmaker AkzoNobel staat op het punt om de grootste overname in jaren te doen.

Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever, and their ability to put that data to productive use should be a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, business leaders looking to tap into a steady and manageable stream of “actionable insights” often, instead, get blasted with a deluge of dashboards, chart-filled slide decks, and opaque machine learning jargon that leaves them asking, “So what?”  Analytics the Right Way: A Business Leader's Guide to Putting Data to Productive Use (Wiley, 2025) is a guide for these leaders. It provides a clear and practical approach to putting analytics to productive use with a three-part framework that brings together the realities of the modern business environment with the deep truths underpinning statistics, computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The result: a pragmatic and actionable guide for delivering clarity, order, and business impact to an organization's use of data and analytics. The book uses a combination of real-world examples from the authors' direct experiences—working inside organizations, as external consultants, and as educators—mixed with vivid hypotheticals and illustrations—little green aliens, petty criminals with an affinity for ice cream, skydiving without parachutes, and more—to empower the reader to put foundational analytical and statistical concepts to effective use in a business context.

Global risk assets were boosted by comments from President Trump on Powell, China tariffs. April flash composite PMI was a bit weaker than consensus. March new home sales printed well above consensus. Fed's Beige Book said activity little changed since the previous report, but uncertainty around trade policy is pervasive.

Chris rips into Trump's tariff-driven market chaos, with the Dow Jones facing its worst April since 1932. Comparing Trump's team to trash-talking athletes, he slams their “Art of the Deal” narrative as a con, citing massive stock market losses outstripping the trade deficit, soaring bond yields, and small business panic. Markowski calls out Fox News' Grant Cardone for downplaying 401(k) devastation and demands a swift tariff walk-back, warning that Trump's negotiating bluster is no scoreboard victory. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Dow Jones CMO Sherry Weiss reveals the marketing strategy behind growing subscription businesses for publications like The Wall Street Journal.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse LiffreingDamian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):This week we're delighted to talk with Sherry Weiss, the CMO of Dow Jones.Damian Fowler (00:14):And Sherry's responsible for growing Dow Jones' subscription business across the publisher's. Numerous business titles, which include the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch, and Investors Business Daily,Ilyse Liffreing (00:26):But that's not all. Sherry also heads up the brand and enterprise go-to-market strategy for Dow Jones Research and Newswire services like TibaDamian Fowler (00:35):In an era where publishers are facing many challenges to their business models. From the pullback of third party cookies to the advance of ai, Sherry gets into how the publishers answering back by building a subscription strategy.Ilyse Liffreing (00:48):We start off by talking about the Wall Street Journal's latest campaign.Sherry Weiss (00:56):So it's your business. It's not only our new campaign, but our new brand platform, which we launched in June of last year. A little bit about the history of how we got into this new platform. So our previous platform was Trust Your Decisions and I joined the organization about two and a half years ago. One of the first things that the team and I did at that point in time is really dive deeply into understanding our current and then our future growth audience needs. And when we were going through that research, one of the things that came out was the idea around trust and how that's table stakes(01:33):And what our audience are saying that's a given and kind of don't tell us to trust you, we will determine that. And so we realized that there was this need to speak a little bit differently to our future audiences and also to crack the code on what Wall Street Journal is. So Wall Street Journal is a storied brand, it's well known, but oftentimes we were seeing with our growth audiences that people did not think the journal applied to them. And in all of our customer research, what we were beginning to piece together is the folks that read the journal and folks that we believe are our editorial content applies to. They have a lot of similarities underlying them. They're all ambitious, they want to be knowledgeable, they're quite intellectual, but they may be in different stages of their career. And so part of what we needed to do with this brand platform was help bridge the gap is to explain to our future audiences why the journalist for them.(02:31):And the other thing that's interesting about this campaign is that it's the first time in quite some time that we truly leaned into the journalism, our actual core product. And in that campaign we brought out specific articles into the actual campaign and balance those articles between things that you would expect the journal to write about and things that you would not expect us to write about. And a really good example is that we had an article around folks that were becoming lifelong renters and those were decisions that they were making. And so one of our headlines leaned into that. Another one was around make hotdog economics your business when you talk about food and inflation. And that was showing up in a hot dog truck. And the great thing there is it killed two burns with one stone because we were able to go loud with an awareness campaign, but it also enabled us a way to drive back to sampling. And in all of our campaigns we had QR codes, it actually drove back to the original article and that was quite successful.Damian Fowler (03:38):That's really fascinating. One of the things before we get into what you learned from this campaign, how did you identify where those potentially net new audiences readers were coming from? You say you have this core group of people who are interested in business, but then you have people who are kind of adjacent to it but also interested in business. I'm just curious, how did you think about that and how did you sort of build that into your strategy?Sherry Weiss (04:06):Sure. So everything we do is data-based and customer reader first. So as part of this re-looking at our platform, we did a deep audience study and within that audience study we went out obviously across the market around news readers who are willing to pay and really started having deep conversations, both qualitative as well as quantitative research into what people are looking for and also finding common threads around attitudes and life point of views. And what we found was we have a really core group of readers tried and true folks that you would expect over index more into investing and working on Wall Street and more of your traditional business folks, but business expands so much more than that. And what we were finding is that there were a deep growth area where there are people who are outside of what we would say are our traditional professions, marketing, consulting, government actually that have, they are interested in the type of content that we write, they just may not be aware that we're writing it. And again, as I mentioned, we're also looking at our audiences that it's not so much around your profession or where you live, but the attitudes in which you hold in common, right? So your desire to be well-informed, your ambition to get ahead in whatever way you want to get ahead, they all have that in common. And so that's really how we started crafting the growth audiences. And then obviously within that with the research we gleaned a lot of information on where they're engaging and that's where we would go out to find in marketing. Interesting.Ilyse Liffreing (05:51):Now you said the first phase of the campaign started in June and I remember going to the Wall Street Journal house in Canon, seeing that all over the place there, what other areas did the campaign come to life in that aspect besides maybe the articles?Sherry Weiss (06:09):Sure. It's interesting because again, all of everything really in the campaign, everything that we put forth had an article that was underlying it. But the cool thing about it is that you could do what you would call traditional marketing. So display on social out of home, we did a Penn Station takeover, but you could also, we were able to leverage this campaign to make it more experiential as well. So as you mentioned, we had the Wall Street Journal, cafe A can. If anybody listening was in there, you probably saw there were things like our salt and pepper shakers and on there had QR codes that had, I can't remember the article that we raised there, but it drove back to an article that had something to do with salt and pepper on the menu. Everything had a article that was associated to it. And so there was an article that we were featuring Make Sleep, divorce Your Business, and we were able to put that above a space that was a mattress store, make EV economics your business, and we would take out space in charging stations so you could take the content that we write about, which is so embedded in every day, build it into the context in which a potential reader is engaging and that actually cracks the code, right?(07:24):It's your business. It's so much more than stock trading or what's happening in banking these days.Ilyse Liffreing (07:31):Yeah, it's everywhere.Sherry Weiss (07:32):Yeah, exactly.Damian Fowler (07:33):And you're sort of changing perceptionSherry Weiss (07:35):OfDamian Fowler (07:35):The paper.Sherry Weiss (07:36):Yes, definitely.Damian Fowler (07:37):And now obviously the Wall Street Journal is one of several publications that you manage. I guess it's maybe the vanguard of the Dow Jones Business publications, but you have many other prestige publications like Barron's Investors Business Daily, which is probably more niche for people actually on the front lines of business. When you think about the whole portfolio, are there crossover audiences or are they distinct audiences?Sherry Weiss (08:04):I mean, the short answer is yes and yes. So the nice thing is, as you had mentioned, we have a four premier consumer publications, wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch, IBD, all of them in one way, shape or form is journalism with a business lens. But each one provides a different take on an issue or a topic and serves a different purpose. And you mentioned IBD, right? IBD is really focused on helping people make decisions on trading in growth stocks. And it's not just about information but tools that investors can use. And so we believe that there are, again, taking an audience first approach, there are audiences that fit squarely into each one of those publications but may not overlap. But we also believe that there are audiences that would find value across all of our publications. And interestingly enough, we had done some testing into this over the last two years, really more so from a marketing offer.(09:10):What happens if you bring somebody on with an introductory subscription offer to a variety of our publications? And we found that number one, people were opting into it at really high take rates. We also found that once they were on this proposition, people were reading actively across our publications were very engaged and increased engagement over standalone and retain better. And so we've now made this into a true proposition WSJ Plus, and this is just the beginning, but basically we target very specific audiences who are investors who are hungry for knowledge from all different angles, and WSJ Plus is a platform that enables them to do that.Damian Fowler (09:56):What was the kind of goal there? In a way,Sherry Weiss (09:58):The main goal is to provide additional value and deep in relationships with our subscribers and frankly our future subscribers. But we know across our ecosystem that we have news and information. And then if you think about Dow Jones overall and news data information and analysis to help people, whether it be you as a person outside the office or in a professional capacity to make decisions. And so the idea around the plus offering is how do you open that up so that your readers are able to find additional ways to find value with youIlyse Liffreing (10:36):When you have so many publications and you are trying to grow a business, that first party data that you get from subscribers is very important. How is the Wall Street Journal and other publications under Dell Jones, how are you guys using that first party data to perhaps reach new subscribers and then I guess carry on that same messaging across publications?Sherry Weiss (11:08):Sure. Prior to joining Dow Jones about two and a half years ago, I come out of consumer financial services most of my time in the credit card industry. And for anybody who has worked in credit cards or financial services knows that everything that you do, all of your strategies are seeped in deep, deep data payment companies know a lot about you. And so one of the first things that I did when I came in was really to take a look at how we can start supercharging our strategy to not make it a holistic strategy actually or a monolithic strategy, but really start building out personalized ways of engaging with our prospects and our readers. First from a segment perspective, but eventually we want to get to a way of engaging via a of one what worked in media a few years ago is not going to be the secret sauce that drives growth for the future. And so leaning into unlocking our data and analytics is important. Over the last two years, we've built out an internal analytics team really focused on building out predictive models to help drive our strategies forward. And that obviously is all built off of our first party data. A really interesting one that is in beta right now when you talk about this is more around engaging and retaining our customer base is being able to predict customer behavior based on market fluctuations(12:34):And really being able to take not only our first party data but indices and market research sets and pull together into models to say, okay, what flags are there four weeks out from a market shift that could help us determine whether or not we need to think about our retention offers more aggressively or whether we should be leaning into paid media a little bit more to start acquiring customers on certain products that perhaps are more sensitive to market shifts.Ilyse Liffreing (13:06):That's so fascinating. So basically if the market is down, say like today if the market is down, you can predict that you'll have more readers that day.Sherry Weiss (13:20):Well, it could be one of a few things, right? In some respects, and it's interesting because how you apply that model across each one of our products, and as I mentioned it's not just publications but there's tools as well. How you tweak that model to help you make decisions is going to be different based on how someone uses each one of your products. So in some cases, if you have a product that's more geared towards trading and you're seeing swings, let's say the market is swinging upwards, you really want to lean in during that period of time to start acquiring customers because there's an uptick in interest. Or to your point, if you are seeing volatility in the market and they're coming to the journal or they're coming to market watch to understand that that also is a time to really start thinking about is your engagement strategy different? Are you willing to shift again from an acquisition perspective, pull forward media that you would've been spending later in the year? Things like that secret.Ilyse Liffreing (14:16):How are you guys able to predict that though four weeks in Advance?Sherry Weiss (14:19):That secret secret? That's the secret sauce. Okay. Secret sauce, that's the secret sauce you don't have to tell us,Damian Fowler (14:25):But it's fair to say that the marketing campaigns are much faster now and more(14:30):Iterative based on current eventsSherry Weiss (14:33):Very much. And I think that is the other area that we've focused on When I first came in, if you are in marketing in a news organization and you cannot respond at the speed of news, then you are not appropriately supporting your newsrooms. And when we first came in, we did an end-to-end assessment of how quickly we would be able to get creative into market based on breaking news. And it was days and we're now at a place where it's hours and in some case less than an hour. So being able to react that quickly, and it's not just about creative development, but making sure you have your audience targeting in place, you're able to turn things on. It obviously was a mix of people, process and tooling. So yes, we are able to react very quickly.Damian Fowler (15:20):That brings us to a question we might call a bigger picture question, but so in terms of the marketing channels that enable you to react to these conditions, where do you see value? Where do you look?Sherry Weiss (15:34):Well, let's put it this way. We're looking daily and constantly evaluating where we're putting investment in and where we're showing up. And it's also very product specific. So there's certain products that are quite niche that you're leaning into, really niche influencer strategy for instance. And then there's other that you want to go broad. So obviously traditional channels, paid search, paid social, that all still is very important for us. Organic traffic is still a quite substantial part of our conversion strategy. And so how you show up organically in the ecosystem, if you think about on social media and other outlets, really important. The brand campaign is actually quite important because what we're really trying to do is the referral ecosystem evolves and it perhaps is, well, it's not perhaps is being disrupted. What makes somebody wake up in the morning and want to type in Wall Street journal.com for instance. That's where the brand campaign is really important and why we're leaning into brand marketing more so than we ever have before.Ilyse Liffreing (16:39):Now at the same time, publishers are facing multiple challenges to their business models, what's new there, but the pullback of third party cookies to the advance of ai. What has been the most helpful way to stay true to the business during this time of constant change?Sherry Weiss (16:57):What just popped into my mind is the quote, my dad always to this day always says, but always told us when we were kids. And it's this idea around adversity breeds opportunity. And so you can think about adversity or changing landscape or changing business models and you can be fearful about it and you can try to push back or you can lean into it. And I think what we're doing is we're leaning into it. The journal as a business has historically leaned into it. So interesting fact. We were the first ones to put up a paywall many moons ago and that was a time of disruption and we're going into a time of disruption now. The first thing is while you're thinking through, alright, what new channels do we want to go into? What brings people to us directly? How do we start building relationships with people in new and different ways?(17:51):You also have to lean into and feel really clear about, but who are you and not change that? And so the focus on, we have a storied history about delivering quality journalism through the lens of business that is what we're leaning into. And then trying to find our growth audiences where they are is where we need to crack the code. And what worked before is not going to work in the future. So test and learn is huge. And I know that sounds like a buzzword, but as I mentioned, we, it's not only about predictive analytics that we've introduced, but being okay with rapid testing and figuring out what's working and what's not and then switching quickly to either scale what's working or to stop what's not and everything needs to be measured.Ilyse Liffreing (18:39):We've noted and written about recently how certain social media channels have been inconsistent with promoting news, changing their own strategy with that. Is this something that you have to constantly think about and stay ahead of?Sherry Weiss (18:57):We can't sit back and rely on refers that traditionally sent traffic our ways. It's not just social media. A lot of places that were traditional referrals channels are really, their business models are looking to keep people on platform and social media. It will continue and continues to play a really important role both not only from a paid perspective but from a organic and amplification perspective. That's where our current and future audiences are engaging. And I think what we need to think about is cracking the code in two ways from an owned and operated perspective. How do we get people to come to us directly, but then also in these off platform channels, how do we show up differently? We've also made a lot of inroads into organic content on TikTok and I think the next place that we have to think about is we're engaging with our future audiences in those areas. How do we then think about new and different monetization models in order to capitalize on that?Ilyse Liffreing (20:01):What are you obsessed with figuring out right now?Sherry Weiss (20:06):The one thing, and it's going to sound cliche but it is on everybody's mind, is how to start capitalizing on the advent of gen ai. And AI has been around for a long time. We are using a machine learning at Dow Jones most. I talked about predictive modeling earlier, but really the next step on this is how do we start applying generative ai? And when I talk about obsessed with trying to crack the code, it's twofold. How do we leverage this technology to build more value added consumer facing propositions, but also how do we leverage it internally? How do we leverage to start helping us drive our marketing at scale? For instance, how do we leverage it to really start enhancing our predictive models? And so it's something top of mind, it's something that I'm actively learning about. It's something I want my team to really deeply engage in and it's here to stay. So cracking the code on that is important.Damian Fowler (21:10):Is marketing a science or an art?Sherry Weiss (21:13):Both marketing is both an art and a science. And if you miss each side of it, you miss the secret sauce of it. You can lean too far in each direction. Obviously I would say that I'm more of a science first marketer. That's where I lean first. But if you miss the human element, you can go way far into data and you miss the human element, the way you connect with people, your marketing is not going to resonate, it's not going to land. And it's interesting because I'm not going to be able to state the exact fact, but there was something that I saw at a speaking event the other day where it was saying, when you think about your testing agenda, you can actually make more progress in your creative testing than in your pricing. And that was an interesting thing because that says something about the art of marketing. How do you connect with your audience? And so to that point, although I just said that I tend to be more of a science marketer, most of my decisions are how I figure out how to engage with audiences is everything is based on what the customer is saying first. It's an outside in versus what we are assuming we should be saying to our end users.Damian Fowler (22:27):What would you do if you had an unlimited marketing budget?Sherry Weiss (22:32):Oh my goodness. All right, let me get the list out. It's like Santa came a hundred, a hundred cafes(22:39):A hundred. Well, no, interestingly enough, I guess that's where I'm going to lean into if I had an unlimited marketing budget. When you're trying to determine where to place your next dollar and you're talking about the mix of art and science, for better or for worse, you lean towards the science. And so your next dollar is always going to be you have to make the trade off of, am I going to place my next dollar in something that I know will return? Why? Or am I going to place my next dollar into something that's really unique, different, may not be measurable, but is breakthrough? And if I had an unlimited marketing budget, there would be Wall Street Journal cafes all over the place. Really being able to lean into really interesting different types of experiential events at scale could be really fun.Ilyse Liffreing (23:30):That was a great conversation with Sherry. Damien, what were some of your takeaways?Damian Fowler (23:34):Yeah, I love hearing from people who are marketing publications probably because I come from a background of journalism and it's always fascinating to hear, talk about how to build and find new readers, which is basically the big question for publications everywhere. When you've got a brand like the Wall Street Journal though, which is really a premium newspaper, probably the Vanguard newspaper in the United States along with the New York Times. It's interesting to hear Sherry talk about how she's trying to find those readers that might not be obvious beyond the business community and how she's using marketing to broaden that reach along with the tagline, which is it's your business. Business is everybody's business. And I think we increasingly realize that and it's smart of her to build a marketing campaign around that concept.Ilyse Liffreing (24:24):No, I know what you mean Damien. And what really interested me too is, and I wish she would've revealed her secret sauce here, but it's fascinating how they're able to predict their audience four weeks ahead of time and to be so on the cutting edge with news. And as she spoke about they had to reinvent the wheel a little bit and how they can cover certain news events with their team, being able to predict those insights of how their audience is going to react so quickly ahead of time is so powerful.Damian Fowler (25:01):I think that was really a great point. And the fact that marketing moves so much faster now based on what's happening. And especially for a publication like The Journal, which is built around market fluctuations and obviously has a huge political and business readership. So it's really important for them to be able to react to what's happening. And that was a big takeaway for me, talking about the speed at which now marketing moves, which is not built on six month or annual campaigns, but much more rapidly iterating as it were, which is that word we all use in the marketplace.Ilyse Liffreing (25:38):No, that's very true and that's what I'm going to think about the next time I go to Wall Street Journal Cafe as well.Damian Fowler (25:47):That's it for this edition of The Current Podcast, and I'm Damian, and we'll see you next time.

US equities finished sharply lower in Wednesday trading, ending a bit off worst levels, with the Dow Jones the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq falling 173bps, 224bps, and 307bps respectively. Nvidia was the biggest drag after yesterday's announcement of new US government export restrictions on their H20 chips. Also some hawkish takes on Fed Chair Powell's remarks today who noted tariff increases are significantly larger than anticipated, which could lead to higher inflation and slower growth. March headline retail sales, sales ex-autos, and sales ex-autos and gas all came in a bit better than expected. April NAHB housing market index beat, but sales expectations lowest since Jan-23.

The Dow Jones looks like an EKG chart. The world economy feels like the Cuban Missile Crisis. And the sycophantic administration's policy is more volatile than the Denver Nuggets' front office. But to Stephanie Ruhle — the former banker turned host of MSNBC's The 11th Hour, receiving frantic calls from investors and C-suite execs — the real problem underneath America's tariff turbulence is more fundamental: trust that was gained in droplets is now lost in buckets. Who's suffering the consequences of the art of the deal while Trump and his cronies profiteer from golf tournaments? Probably you. Plus: the dark heart of a Twitter warrior, Stephen A.

There's continuing turmoil on Wall Street as uncertainty continues over US trade policy. The Dow Jones is down by more than five percent. The fall contrasts with the huge gains made on Wednesday in response to Donald Trump's suspension of many tariffs on countries other than China.

China has rejected the move as "blackmail," making a near-term resolution unlikely. Meanwhile, the U.S. also implemented reciprocal tariffs on about 60 countries. Equities and Oil Prices See Sharp Declines The U.S. stock market experienced a major drop on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all retreating sharply. The S&P 500 entered "bear market" territory, having fallen more than 19% from its all-time highs. WTI crude oil also fell nearly 2%, reaching its lowest level since April 2021.Corn Futures Rise on Weather Concerns U.S. corn futures saw a 4-cent increase on Tuesday, reaching $4.69 per bushel. The rally was driven by expectations surrounding Thursday's USDA report and concerns about planting delays due to historic rainfall in the Midwest and southern U.S. Analysts expect U.S. corn ending stocks to decline by 2% from March estimates. The USDA's Crop Production and WASDE reports are due Thursday at 11 a.m. CST. US Oil & Biofuel Groups Push for Higher Biomass Diesel Mandates U.S. oil and biofuel groups are advocating for an increase in biomass diesel mandates, proposing a 5.25 billion gallon mandate for 2026. While the suggestion falls short of previous proposals for 5.5-5.75 billion gallons, it highlights the sector's desire for a more robust advanced biofuel market. AGCO Suspends Some Agricultural Equipment Shipments AGCO, known for brands like Massey Ferguson and Hesston, has announced it will suspend certain agricultural equipment shipments into the U.S. due to the impact of tariffs. Although the company will continue importing parts, this move reflects the growing concern over the toll that tariffs are taking on agricultural machinery sales. Russia's Wheat Crop Faces Extreme Weather Threats Russia's wheat crop is under threat from extreme weather, including a hailstorm in Stavropol, a major wheat-producing region, and recent snowstorms with sub-zero temperatures. Despite these challenges, the Russian agriculture ministry claims that crop losses are under 3%, and the overall situation remains stable. However, authorities have warned that they may implement export restrictions if crop production falls short of expectations. Flash Sale of U.S. Corn U.S. exporters sold 240,000mt (9 million bushels) of corn to Spain for the 2024/2025 marketing year, according to USDA. This sale highlights the competitiveness of U.S. corn in the global market. 

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss the Dow Jones being down 2,200 points as $6.4 trillion is wiped out in a two-day bloodbath, thousands of protesters gather for rallies across the U.S., and legacy media coming around to investigate Democrat scandals years after Conservatives sounded the alarm.

President Donald Trump unveiled a full slate of eye-popping tariffs on countries large and small last Friday, and the reactions over the weekend have been intense. Welcome to “Tariff Panic Week.” Many people have noted the precipitous drop in the stock market and their own IRAs since the tariffs were announced. One reporter who questioned Trump aboard Air Force One over the weekend even asked him whether he'd call off the tariffs if the Dow Jones index kept dropping. “That's a stupid question,” Trump snapped.

It's Tuesday, April 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Horrific Muslim persecution of Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa The Gatestone Institute's International Policy Center has released its report on the persecution of Christians in Africa.   The report claims that the West is ignoring the carnage playing out in Sub-Sahara Africa, and that Muslim “Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria.” The newly-installed Syrian government and the al-Qaeda-affiliated HTS terrorists, are still conducting door-to-door purges, massacring religious minorities in cruel, sadistic ways. Reliable reports indicate they have massacred 7,000 Christians and Alawites, a sect of Islam. And the death toll is still rising. Jihad is spreading in at least twelve African nations. Muslim jihadists beheaded 70 Christians in the Congo in February. Church leaders are targeted, abducted, tortured, and murdered. Christian villages have been burned down. Plus, pastors, priests and lay Christians have been abducted by the Islamist Allied Democratic Forces. More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadist violence and conflict. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced labor. Some are forced to act as suicide bombers or human shields at the hands of jihadis. Boko Haram and the Islamic State West African Province regularly attack, abduct, and murder Christians in Cameroon located in Central Africa. Churches have been set on fire and church leaders and seminary students kidnapped. Plus, the report claims that no Christian is safe in Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa.  Hundreds of churches there have been closed. The Muslim-run nation of Libya, in North Africa on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, countenances widespread slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking. Sharia law is strictly upheld. For a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. Any Libyan woman suspected of associating with Christians faces house arrest, sexual assault, forced marriage, or even death. Nigeria remains the worst example of Jihadist murder and mayhem. Tens of thousands of Christians have been murdered and thousands of women and girls have been abducted and subjected to sexual violence. But, do keep in mind what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18. He declared, “On this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” British Christian nurse in trouble for referring to confused man as man More outrageousness from the United Kingdom. A nurse has lost her job with the National Health Service because she was caught referring to a pedophile transgender person as a “Mister.” Nurse Jennifer Melle, age 40, was fired from her job in Carshalton, Surrey, after having to endure the patient hurling racial slurs at her. She added, “I am devastated to have been suspended. … Despite being the one placed at risk, I am the one being punished. The message I have received is clear: I am expected to tolerate racism, deny biological reality, and suppress my deeply-held Christian beliefs." Appearing on Free Speech Nation, she shared her Biblical convictions. MELLE: “I thank Jesus for giving me the courageous spirit, standing on the Word of God. According to the Word of God, Genesis 1:27 said, ‘God created a male and female.' I just stood by it. I said, ‘Well, I'm a Christian woman, and I love the Lord, and I know beyond male and female is an abomination to the Lord. And I can't do that.'” Represented by the Christian Legal Centre, Andrea Williams, its chief executive, criticized the National Health Service for allegedly focusing on trans ideology instead of protecting its staff from racial and physical abuse. U.S.-China tariff war heats up The tit-for-tat tariff war with China is heating up.   On Friday, China announced a 34% tariff on U.S. imports as an answer to President Trump's 34% reciprocal tariff. Yesterday, the U.S. president announced an additional tariff of 50% effective tomorrow, unless China backs down, reports CBS News. Aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, President Trump did not pull any punches. TRUMP: “When you look at the trade deficit that we have with certain countries, way over a billion [dollars] per country. With China, it's a trillion dollars. And we have to solve our trade deficit with China. We have a trillion dollar trade deficit with China. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose with China. And unless we solve that problem, I'm not going to make a deal. “Now, I'm willing to deal with China, but they have to solve their surplus. We have a tremendous deficit problem with China. They have a surplus of at least a trillion dollars a year. And I want that solved. No other President has taken it on.” New Yorkers need “good moral character” before carrying handgun The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a New York law that requires residents to demonstrate “good moral character” before they are permitted to carry a handgun. The law requires applicants to have “the essential character, temperament and judgement necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself or others.” Stocks, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq down U.S. stocks are down over the last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 4,000 points, 11% down for the year.   And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down by about 2,000 points, settling around 15,570 points on Monday evening. The Nasdaq is down 19% on the year, about where it was in November 2021.  Court awards 7,000 sexual abuse victims $4 billion in Los Angeles While the state-controlled foster care system is supposed to protect children, the unaccountable system, made up of sinful men and women, has become the predator. Last week, the courts awarded a record $4 billion against the Los Angeles County's juvenile detention and foster care system. The settlement was the largest of this kind, distributed to 7,000 plaintiffs — victims of unspeakable sexual abuse. L.A. officials have issued concerns that the fine might bankrupt the county.  The rise of America's “assassination culture” The Network of Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab have issued a report concerned with a rising “assassination culture” in the United States.  Especially troubling is the view that 31% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder Elon Musk.  And 38% said it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder President Donald Trump. Among those who identify left of center, 48% to 55% would justify these assassinations. 22 million watched House of David finale And finally, the producers of the Amazon-released program, House of David, announced over the weekend, that the season finale had achieved #1 on Prime. WatchWonderProject took to Instagram with a message: “All glory to God!” Thus far, the program has brought in 22 million viewers. Of Amazon's new releases in 2025, House of David has taken the top position, holding its own in the top 10 for 38 days. Producer and writer for House of David, Jon Erwin, previously produced Christian films like October Baby, I Can Only Imagine, and American Underdog. The studio has announced a forthcoming Season 2. Let us not forget David's greater Son who reigns today, over all. Luke 1:32 declares, “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him the throne of his father David.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Print stories British Prime Minister: Time to focus on Britain British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke yesterday, indicating an end to globalization, and a return to nation's focusing in on their own national interests, reports The Independent. He called the present times “a completely new world.”  Former Brazilian president thanked God for Trump's re-election Brazil's previous president Jair Bolsonaro addressed a peaceful protest of 40,000 in Sao Paulo over the weekend, thanking God publicly that Donald Trump was re-elected in the United States, reports Breitbart. Bolsonaro told the crowd, “I have nothing but gratitude for the two years we spent together in our respective presidencies.”

We are coming off of a week that can only be described as a stock market bloodbath—amping up uncertainty and making selling even harder.  As the new tariffs imposed by the US government were announced, kicking off what is expected to devolve into a global trade war, the Dow Jones plunged by over 2,200 points, the S&P 500 lost more than 10%, the Nasdaq entered into a bear market and more than $6.6 trillion dollars were wiped from the US stock market in two days. These losses compounded in markets all across the globe. If you were brave enough to take a peek at your 401k, I have no doubt that you felt this pain and at least a twinge of the fear that raced through business communities across the globe.  Uncertainty and a Stream of Bad News In an instant, everything changed. Starting today, selling just got even harder. Your buyers are facing uncertainty and a relentless stream of bad news; and where there is uncertainty, your prospects and customers will put off making decisions and doing anything that they perceive as risky.   The penalties for making mistakes can be severe. Mistakes can put their business, company, career, finances, or family at risk. This is why, for buyers, doing nothing–making no decision–is often the emotionally safe choice, even when staying put is illogical. In Uncertainty Buyers Start Scrutinizing Your Sales Behaviors In an environment of uncertainty, when buyers feel even the tiniest bit of unease about you, they will not buy from you.  This is the human negativity bias: Negative perceptions have a greater impact than positive perceptions when it comes to decision making.  Buyers will be scrutinizing your every behavior, word, and action. They will not be looking for what you are doing right, they will only see what you do wrong. Anything negative will stick out like a sore thumb.  Their negative perceptions about you cause distrust. Your good intentions don't matter because buyers are judging you based on their intentions, not yours. If they don't trust you, they will not buy from you.  You Must Sell Better During Times of Uncertainty To win consistently, during times of uncertainty you must sell better. You need to bring your A-Game into every sales conversation.  You must commit to executing the sales process as perfectly and faithfully as humanly possible. No mistakes. No shortcuts. No mediocrity.  You must sell as if there is no margin for error. When the stakes were lower, buyers may have given you the benefit of the doubt and agreed to move forward even when they are still unsure. But not now. To close the sale, you must be perfect.  There is No Sales Easy Button Of course, with the suddenness of this massive economic disruption it is human nature to seek out Jedi mind tricks to make things easier. I've got some harsh news for you. There isn't anything easy about selling in a crisis of uncertainty. Nor are there mystical Jedi mind tricks that will help you set appointments on prospecting calls, handle objections, or close the deal in this environment.  If that's not what you wanted to hear, I'm sorry. Money Monday is a no-pander zone. Here you'll only hear the brutal truth.  And the truth is that no technique, no move, no play, no gambit will save you from failure should you get lax with the basics and fundamentals of selling.  When you show up and throw up, rush headlong into sales calls without planning, pitch rather than discover, challenge before understanding, fail to build emotional connections with stakeholders, and ask for the sale without earning the right, you'll hit the brick wall of objections at maximum force–and people will not buy from you.  If you take shortcuts in the sales process, you will experience stalled deals, prospects will ghost you, and competitors will eat your lunch. Your income will drop along with your reputation which can put your career at risk when the stakes for failing are highest. 

LONG The White House has urged investors to trust in Donald Trump as Wall Street continues a global sell-off in response to his tariff announcement. The Dow Jones index is down more than three percent, the dollar has fallen and oil prices have slipped. Shares prices in Europe and Asia closed sharply down.
