The days of automatically upgrading your phone or computer every time it slows down are officially over. Clark breaks down why inflation and rising component costs mean tech prices are going "up, up, and away." Tech giants like Apple are raising device prices to protect their profit margins. While Clark has advised against sinking money into old electronics, the math has changed. Clark shares his rule of thumb for deciding when to repair versus replace, why TVs remain the one truly disposable tech item, and how to avoid the "free phone trap" being pushed by the big three wireless carriers. Also, Clark dives into the massive shakeup happening in the insurance industry. State Farm is facing major backlash from its own agents after dropping a hammer on their compensation models—a desperate move to compete in a market where they are losing ground. Hear which company has taken the lead by embracing a hybrid model, and what to expect buying online vs. with an agent.Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news it is a good job we have sports to allow us a temporary distraction from the geopolitical mess that the US has initiated and which seems to just go on and on. A shut Hormuz and a jump in oil prices is bringing Groundhog Day. Back in the economic world, Tuesday's June CPI release will dominate this week's local data releases. Markets expect an elevated 4% rate, keeping the pressure on the OCR and the RBNZ to contain it. Events in the Middle East aren't helping. The next OCR review is not until September 2 however. In Australia, it will be all about their June labour market release. Markets expect only modest jobs growth and no jobless rate change. But developments between the US and Iran will remain in the global spotlight after strikes escalated, impacting energy prices and interest rate outlooks for central banks. There is not much market-moving economic data expected from the US this week. But earnings season results will be watched for indications and surprises. In Japan, they will release trade and inflation updates (1.6%?). Taiwan will be interesting for its industrial production data. Korea for its Q1-2026 GDP outcome. And Indonesia will review its policy rate again, after the unusual interim hike, and then taking it to possibly 6%. For them it is all about supporting their weakening currency. There is little significant data out of China this week. However, here's something we haven't covered so far. Their June trade data for China shows that its crude oil imports are now at a ten year low. In fact their June crude oil imports were -11.4% lower than a year ago in volume terms. It is a shift that will have global implications. We can also note that China closed nearly 30,000 kindergartens and primary schools in 2025. It is the consequence of the growing demographic slump we have been noting for some time. Recent data released by the Ministry of Education revealed a severe structural divergence: while early childhood and primary education are shrinking rapidly, high schools and universities are expanding to absorb a demographic bulge from earlier birth peaks. Three Chinese airlines have ordered 95 Airbus commercial jets. This has swelled Airbus's non-US order book over rival Boeing. Airbus (89) delivered more aircraft than Boeing (64) in June. Boeing is losing market share fast for clients outside the US, no doubt a direct consequence of reactions to nativist policies from Washington and risks of trade retaliation. Singapore's export growth fell back sharply and unexpectedly in June. Electronics exports remained elevated, but non-electronics exports were unusually weak in the month. Their big decliners were for petrochemicals, food, and non-monetary gold. Trade with the US was especially hard hit. Across the Pacific in Canada, the spread of their enormous wildfires are becoming an international irritant. Canada is struggling to contain them. In an unusual move, the US is refusing to assist, even though Canada sends crews and support to the US when they have wildfire emergencies. There are also major wildfires in many US states as well. In the US housing starts in June which came in +3.6% higher than year ago levels and brushing off their unusually weak May report. But for all the positives that some Fed district factory surveys have shown, these are not showing up in US industrial production data yet. You might have thought the increased local stockpiling surge would be visible by now. But to June, it isn't. US industrial production rose a paltry +0.1% in June to be +1.1% higher than a year ago. And that is its weakest increase in three months. Although consumers are still very negative in their sentiment, there was a notable improvement in the latest survey results from the widely-respected and long running University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey. With the second straight month of 10% jumps, consumer sentiment climbed to its least negative reading since February of this year on the basis of easing price pressures at the petrol pump in recent weeks. All five index components improved, led by significant 20% increases in buying conditions for durables as well as year-ahead business conditions. This month's rise in sentiment was consistent across the population, seen across groups by age, income, wealth, and political party. Will it last? If it truly is directly related to pump prices, then this weekend's outsized jump in crude oil prices (below) and the turn up in pump prices in the past few days, suggests not. Today's pump prices are almost back to month-ago levels when the sentiment survey hit its record lows. Looking backwards over the past month, US data has seen improvements. But these have not been enough to return the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracking to where it was in May, so a sharp downshift is still in place. And it is worth noting that 'consensus forecasts' by mainstream economists have not yet reflected that retreat. The RBNZ also produces a GDP nowcast. After a somewhat unexpected blip up two weeks ago, the latest data has returned our Q2-2026 growth to a minimal level. The same for Q3-2026. (There is no Aussie GDP nowcast from an official institution. The Melbourne Institute version won't be updated until the end of the month.) In Australia, the latest weekend's residential auction activity was low, possibly back to levels they had in 2018. They are finally having the housing market correction necessary to address their affordability problems. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.55%, unchanged from this time Saturday, down a net -2 bps for the week.  The price of gold has risen to US$4017/oz, up +US$12 from Saturday but down -US$83 from a week ago. Silver is now just under US$56/oz, down -US$3.50 for the week. Oil prices are +50 USc firmer from Saturday, up +US$3.50 from Friday at just on US$82.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$88/bbl. A week ago these prices were US$71.50 and US$76 respectively so a +16% rise since then. Hormuz transits have been reduced to a trickle overnight There have been just 2 crude tankers and 7 cargo ships exiting over the past 24 hours (4 dark with transponders off) and 9 entering for new loads (6 dark) and almost this traffic isl Iran-linked. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just under 58.4 USc but up +80 bps for the week. Against the Aussie we are still at 83.7 AUc. Against the euro we are also holding, at just on 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 62.3 which is unchanged from this time Saturday, up +80 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$64,542 and up +0.8% from this time Saturday, up +1.4% from a week ago. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just over +/-0.5%.

META's stock surged last week, but investors shouldn't ignore the risks. Meta shares climbed last week as Wall Street became increasingly optimistic about the company's AI strategy. The stock was up about15% for the week and erased the year-to-date losses. Investors are betting that Meta's enormous spending on AI infrastructure, custom chips, top engineering talent, and next-generation models will lead to faster revenue growth, stronger advertising tools, and new revenue streams over the next several years. The market clearly believes Meta has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the AI race. But while investors were celebrating, Europe reminded everyone that even great companies face meaningful risks. The European Commission announced preliminary findings that Facebook and Instagram may violate the Digital Services Act because of what regulators call "addictive design" features, including infinite scrolling, autoplay videos, and recommendation algorithms that encourage users to stay engaged for longer periods. If the findings become final and Meta does not make sufficient changes, the company could face fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue, along with potential changes to how its platforms operate across Europe. Meta has disputed the findings and says it has already implemented significant protections for younger users. This could amount to a fine of around $12 B, but the bigger problem I see is a potential hit to ad revenue if they must change their business practices. Europe is an important part of their business considering it accounts for about 23% of overall company sales. We also can't forget the legal liability Meta is facing in the United States, which could ultimately total as much as $1.4 trillion. That number may sound shocking, but it stems from multiple lawsuits brought by numerous states and plaintiffs. The first major cases are scheduled to go to trial in August, with California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Kentucky leading the way. The lawsuits allege deceptive business practices, and potential penalties range from $2,000 to $20,000 per violation. Given Meta's massive user base, those fines could accumulate rapidly if the courts rule against the company. Beyond civil penalties, the states are also seeking disgorgement of profits, which would require Meta to surrender profits earned from the alleged misconduct during the relevant period. If Meta performs poorly in these initial cases, another 25 states have similar lawsuits waiting in the wings, significantly increasing the company's legal exposure. There are already signs that these legal challenges carry real financial risk. New Mexico recently won a $375 million judgment against Meta, and a separate federal trial is scheduled to begin early next year. The AI opportunity is also far from guaranteed. Today, investors are rewarding companies that appear to be winning the AI race, but the competitive landscape is becoming more crowded every quarter. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, xAI, and others are investing billions of dollars to develop better models and attract developers. Meta has responded aggressively by spending heavily on infrastructure and recruiting top AI researchers, but there is no guarantee those investments will generate returns that justify the enormous capital being deployed. A big problem is today's leader in AI can quickly become tomorrow's follower if innovation slows. I also believe that all of these companies will not succeed in this space, which will mean enormous amounts of wasted capital for the losers. Wall Street seemed to be focused almost entirely on Meta's AI upside last week, and that optimism may continue to drive the stock higher. But investors should remember that valuation is increasingly dependent on AI execution while regulatory scrutiny remains elevated. If AI spending fails to produce the expected returns or regulators force changes that weaken engagement, today's bullish narrative could change quickly. Meta remains one of the strongest companies in technology, but even great businesses are not risk-free. As investors, it's important to weigh both the opportunities and the risks, not just the headlines driving the stock higher today.   The spring home sales season disappointed in June The spring home-selling season ended on a disappointing note. Through May, existing home sales had been showing signs of improvement, and many real estate professionals were becoming more optimistic about the housing market. However, June's data told a different story. The conflict involving Iran contributed to higher inflation expectations and pushed mortgage rates higher, weighing on buyer demand. Existing home sales fell 2.4% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million homes, well below economists' expectations for a 0.7% increase. Despite the monthly decline, the longer-term trend remains somewhat more encouraging. Existing home sales were still up 2.8% compared with a year ago, suggesting that underlying demand has not disappeared. There continues to be pent-up demand from prospective buyers, but many seem unwilling to make such a large financial commitment while borrowing costs remain elevated, even as housing inventory continues to improve According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.43% last week. If mortgage rates remain near these levels, many prospective homebuyers may continue to delay their purchases, preventing a stronger recovery in the housing market.   Another Hidden Cost of AI: Steel Most people know that the AI buildout has driven up demand for advanced computer chips, contributing to higher prices for smartphones, laptops, and other electronics. They also know that AI data centers require enormous amounts of electricity, putting upward pressure on utility rates as more power is diverted to support AI infrastructure. But there's another cost that receives far less attention: steel. Steel is a critical component of every data center. Industry estimates suggest that new data centers will consume roughly 1 million tons of steel annually, representing approximately $1.4 billion in demand. Steel is used throughout these facilities from the structural columns, roof joists, and roof decking to the server racks that house thousands of AI processors. This growing demand has ripple effects throughout the economy. Higher steel demand can contribute to increased costs for automobiles, household appliances, commercial buildings, bridges, and countless other products that rely on steel. The impact doesn't stop there. Steel production is one of the most energy-intensive manufacturing processes. A single electric furnace steel mill can consume anywhere from around 50 to 200 megawatts of electricity per day, competing for the same power resources as AI data centers. As both industries demand more electricity, utilities face increasing pressure to expand generating capacity. Ultimately, who pays for that increased demand? The answer is often the consumer. Higher electricity demand can translate into higher utility bills for households and businesses as utilities invest in additional generation and transmission infrastructure. In regions where electricity supply is already tight, the competition for power is becoming even more apparent. For example, PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest regional transmission organization, plans to begin conducting supplemental power auctions with electricity generators in September to help secure additional supply. Auctions reward the highest bidders, meaning electricity increasingly flows to those willing to pay the most. As large industrial users and AI data centers bid aggressively for power, consumers could face higher electricity prices if supply fails to keep pace with demand. AI will likely bring enormous productivity gains and economic benefits over the long run. However, it is also creating secondary inflationary pressures that extend well beyond semiconductors. Steel, electricity, construction materials, and other critical inputs are all experiencing increased demand, and those costs eventually work their way through the economy. As the AI revolution accelerates, these indirect costs are likely to become an increasingly important part of the inflation story.   Inflation Is Cooling... But Don't Pop the Champagne Yet The latest CPI report was another encouraging sign that inflation is moving in the right direction. Headline CPI declined 0.4% in June, marking the largest monthly drop since 2020, while the annual inflation rate slowed to 3.5% from 4.2% in May. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, was flat on the month and eased to 2.6% year over year. Much of the improvement was driven by a sharp decline in gasoline and broader energy prices. While this is welcome news, I'd caution against declaring victory over inflation. One of the biggest challenges with inflation is that it doesn't always show up in the headline numbers immediately. It often works its way through the economy in waves, especially when it comes to energy. A good example is my own pool service. My pool guy recently raised his prices, likely for two reasons: higher chemical costs and the increased cost of driving from house to house. Those are both directly tied to energy markets. Even if gasoline prices temporarily fall and help bring down CPI for a month, businesses often adjust prices more slowly because they have to account for prior cost increases and the uncertainty of where energy prices are headed next. That's why I think investors should remain cautious. The recent improvement in inflation was helped significantly by lower oil and gasoline prices following a temporary easing in geopolitical tensions. But with conflict in the Middle East once again threatening energy supplies and oil prices recently moving higher, that relief could prove short-lived. The trend is encouraging, and the Federal Reserve will certainly welcome softer inflation data. But as long as energy prices remain vulnerable to geopolitical events, inflation is likely to remain unpredictable. Businesses from manufacturers to small local service providers will likely continue to pass along higher input costs whenever they have to. One softer CPI report is good news. But sustained price stability will likely require a concrete outcome in the Middle East and more stability in the energy market. While again we welcome the positive news in this CPI report, the conversation around in inflation and what to do with interest rates will continue with the ongoing developments in Iran.   Higher Gas Prices Aren't Stopping the American Consumer If you were looking for evidence that higher gas prices are slowing down the American consumer, the latest retail sales report doesn't provide much support. The headline number was relatively modest, with retail and food services sales increasing 0.2% from May. But the year-over-year numbers tell a much stronger story. Total retail and food services sales were up 6.7% from June of last year. Even if you exclude gas stations, which saw an increase of 19.8%, retail sales still grew at an impressive rate of 5.7%. More importantly, when you look across the major spending categories, not a single major category declined year over year. Furniture and home furnishing stores was the only major category that was flat compared to last year, but again it wasn't negative! Some of the strongest performers included non-store retailers, which primarily includes online shopping, increased 14.2%. Electronics and appliance stores were up 8.6%, while clothing and clothing accessories increased by 4.8%. Building materials and garden equipment stores were up 3.5% One of the more interesting data points is that Americans are still spending money at restaurants and bars. Food services and drinking places were up 3.8% year over year, showing that consumers continue to spend on experiences and dining out despite higher costs and concerns about the economy. The big takeaway is that the consumer remains remarkably resilient. Yes, higher gas prices can eventually put pressure on household budgets. But so far, consumers have continued to spend across virtually every major category. The year-over-year numbers show broad-based growth, not just spending concentrated in one or two areas. The consumer may be under pressure, but they are clearly not out of the game yet.   Financial Planning: What's Next for Social Security The Social Security Trustees' most recent solvency report highlights the need for Congress to address the program's long-term funding shortfall. Under current projections, the retirement trust fund is expected to be depleted in 2032, at which point ongoing payroll tax revenue would be sufficient to pay only about 78% of scheduled benefits unless legislative changes are made. Importantly, this does not mean Social Security will become insolvent or stop paying benefits, it means benefits would be reduced if Congress takes no action. While no specific legislation has emerged, many policy experts expect Congress to adopt a combination of gradual reforms rather than a single sweeping change. Potential solutions include increasing the Social Security payroll tax rate from 6.2%, raising or eliminating the taxable wage cap from $184,500, increasing the full retirement age from 67 for younger workers, and slowing future benefit growth for higher-income retirees. Historically, when Congress has made changes to Social Security, it has phased them in over many years, and most proposals would leave current retirees and those approaching retirement largely unaffected. As a result, individuals already receiving benefits or those within roughly the next decade of retirement are generally expected to experience little or no change, with the majority of reforms likely to apply to younger generations who have more time to prepare.   Companies Discussed: Nike, Inc.

In this episode, we discuss geomagnetic storms, extreme electromagnetic events known as coronal mass ejections that would destroy every satellite around the planet, wipe out power grids and most if not all of our electronics. The Carrington event that happened in 1859 destroyed the only electrical system at that point, the telegraph, across all of North America. An event such as that now would have catastrophic, even civilization-ending impacts. Scientists predict an event like the Carrington event happens every 100 to every 500 years. And the Carrington event is small compared to pre-history events. Yet despite the profound impact and the likelihood, public awareness remains low, there is little political action, little has been done to harden our power grid or plan for such an event. Since recording this episode in 2024, we have witnessed numerous X-class flares and geomagnetic storms triggering Northern Lights across the Northern Hemisphere. To talk about geomagnetic storms, their impact, the likelihood, the fragility of our global power grids and some solutions, is Distinguished. Professor of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Edl Schamiloglu.

Episode 2: What the Car Remembers They tried to return the car. The rental company wouldn't take it. Five business days. That's how long it would take to process a complaint before the vehicle could even be considered for removal from the fleet. Unfortunately... They only had three. As Cole and Maren dig deeper into the SUV's history, they uncover a disturbing pattern of complaints spanning months, all involving the very same vehicle. Strange GPS routes. Electronics behaving on their own. Devices reconnecting after being deleted. Then another name appears on the dashboard. Not Roy. Someone else. Someone who also disappeared. In Part Two of Ghost Profile, Carolyn explores the frightening intersection of modern technology, corporate oversight, and the possibility that some systems remember far more than they should. Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't the ghost. It's realizing you're not the first person it's been waiting for.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (7.6) Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and the show opens with a powder keg. Newport Beach's Fourth of July detonates into full-blown chaos — riots, looting, and a TikTok takeover where every wannabe "reporter" roams the sand with a microphone in one hand and a White Claw in the other. 403 arrested. NBPD body-cam audio that's straight-up unhinged. The Newport melee deepens. Where did these kids even come from to trash the city? Word is Nevada and Arizona rolled in. Fake IDs, public intox, fireworks busts, and more jaw-dropping police body-cam. "Disheartening" — that's your SAT word of the day, straight outta USC. Talkbacks light up the lines. Callers react to the viral flash mob footage: cops on horseback charging the crowd, batons out, illegal fireworks exploding across the beach, fights erupting, people sprinting through the streets, and looting at the local Pavilions. Roman candles and police summon everyone. Then the mood shifts to the wallet. Microsoft moves to cut 4,800 jobs, joining the wave of AI-driven tech layoffs. Is AI the golden goose or is it killing the egg? Lou digs into the "good jobs" myth, the shift from "Made in USA" to "Assembled in USA," and how decades of trade policy shipped millions of manufacturing jobs overseas. Electronics, textiles, toys — nearly all made abroad now. Can the race to bring jobs back actually be won? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (7.6) Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and kicks it off with the economy. Microsoft moves to cut 4,800 jobs, joining the wave of AI-driven tech layoffs. Is AI the golden goose — or is it killing the egg? Lou breaks down the "good jobs" myth, the sneaky shift from "Made in USA" to "Assembled in USA," and how decades of trade policy shipped millions of manufacturing jobs overseas. Electronics, textiles, toys — nearly all made abroad now. Can we actually win the race to bring jobs back? Then Lou lays out his plan to survive post-AI America. Remember when products came with a lifetime warranty? Now it's three years, if that. Case in point: Mr. Coffee "commercial grade" — they shuttered the U.S. plant, shipped it to China, and now it's junk. News hits fast: Team USA's World Cup dreams get crushed 4-1 by Belgium. A brush fire in Castaic shuts down 5 Freeway lanes and triggers an evacuation warning. And in San Diego, over $25,000 in one-dollar bills gets stolen from a Kearny Mesa gentlemen's club — the owner suspects an inside job after the masked burglar used a fired manager's security codes. Plus: thieves are hunting beachgoers who stash valuables in their cars, and Domino's crashes the value-meal wars with its "Best Deal Ever" — any size, any toppings, any crust for just $9.99.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If a customer returns a product they never actually sent back, who eats that loss? You do. And Amazon's automated refund system isn't doing you any favors. With ecommerce return rates hovering between 20 and 30 percent, depending on your category, it's a problem you can't ignore. Apparel returns? Worse. Electronics? Brutal. Neil Twa, your host, dives into the real impact of Amazon's returns policy shift on sellers at every level. He shares a story of an operator managing $65,000 a month across 14 SKUs, whose net margins took a hit from untracked returns. Neil outlines three critical moves to protect your margins: start by pulling your return report by ASIN this week. This isn't just theory, it's what works.

Just a heads up! We are switching to sequential episodes away from seasons.---Big thanks to @ChordElectronicsLtd for supporting this episode. Their British-built DACs and headphone amps bring true studio-level detail into the listening experience, with gear used everywhere from hi-fi setups to world-class studios.Check out the Mojo 2 and more from Chord Electronics here: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/mojo-2---In this episode, we're joined by Tom Vaughan of Chord Electronics for a conversation about sound, technology, and why digital-to-analog conversion matters more than most people realize.Tom's path into audio is anything but typical. Before working in high-end audio, he was a professional bassoonist, and that background gives him a really interesting perspective on how music is performed, recorded, and ultimately experienced by the listener.We talk about the evolution of Chord Electronics, the impact of their Hugo DAC, and what makes one converter feel different from another — not just in terms of specs, but in timing, accuracy, depth, and emotional connection.We also get into the practical side of listening: how DACs, headphones, speakers, and monitoring chains shape the decisions musicians, producers, mixers, and mastering engineers make every day.At the heart of it all is a simple idea: better sound helps us connect more deeply with music. And whether you're creating, recording, mixing, mastering, or just listening, the way your system translates that music matters.Key Five TakeawaysTom Vaughan brings a rare perspective to audio, combining his background as a bassoonist with his work in high-end audio engineering.Digital-to-analog conversion plays a major role in how we perceive depth, detail, timing, and emotional connection in music.Chord Electronics approaches DAC design differently, using FPGA-based technology rather than standard off-the-shelf DAC chips.Better monitoring and conversion can help musicians, producers, mixers, and mastering engineers make more confident creative decisions.At its core, the conversation is about the bridge between technical accuracy and emotional impact — how better sound can bring us closer to the performance.Resources & LinksChord Electronics - https://chordelectronics.co.uk/Chord Mojo 2 - https://chordelectronics.co.uk/mojo-2Dan Millice - https://www.millicemastering.com/‪@NaturlAudio‬ AL-1 Limiter - https://naturl.audio/Listen to Sound Discussion:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4QLiTjT...Subscribe To Our Newsletter:https://sounddiscussionpodcast.com/newsletterShop:https://sounddiscussionpodcast.com/shopSound Discussion Is:Nate KelmesBen HolmesNeil Merchant Hosted on Acast.

"Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?!?!" I understand tech enthusiast skepticism when those appeals are made, as we can all remember times when "protecting children" was used as a cover for bad policy. However, there are times we need to collectively examine corporate practices, and reign in businesses making harmful products.

When we sat down with Paul Andre Huet, CEO of America's Gold and Silver, for our latest Payne Points of Wealth episode, one theme became clear: The demand story for silver is evolving and expanding. Let's break it down in simple terms. 1. Electrification of the Economy Silver is one of the best electrical conductors in the world. That makes it critical for: electric vehicles charging infrastructure transmission systems As more of the global economy moves from fossil fuels to electricity, the need for efficient conductive materials rises, and silver plays a central role. 2. Electronics & Connectivity Virtually every modern electronic device contains silver: smartphones laptops semiconductors circuit boards As the world becomes more connected, the baseline demand here isn't shrinking, it's steadily expanding. 3. Solar Energy Solar panels use silver in their photovoltaic cells. Every installation: from residential rooftops to utility-scale solar farms requires it. As countries continue: reducing carbon emissions investing in renewable energy building out grid capacity Silver demand increases alongside that transition. 4. Automotive (Beyond EVs) Even traditional vehicles rely on silver in: electronics safety systems sensors Modern cars, especially higher-end models are increasingly electronic systems on wheels. The Supply Reality While use cases are expanding, supply isn't as flexible. Many silver mines don't produce silver as their primary output Production is often tied to other metals like copper or lead Opening new mines takes years, often a decade or more This creates a dynamic where: demand can rise quickly supply responds slowly That imbalance tends to matter over time. Where Investors Often Get It Wrong Investors tend to focus on what's obvious. Today, that means: The Magnificent Seven: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla Widely discussed semiconductor stocks Big IPOs like SpaceX, OpenAI & Anthropic But in markets, leadership rotates. Yesterday's winners aren't usually tomorrow's leaders. Most of the best opportunities don't come from chasing what's already worked, but where the underlying drivers are changing. Silver may be one of those areas. Not because of a single headline. But because of a broad, overlapping set of use cases that continue to grow. A Financial Planning Perspective Now, this is where discipline becomes important. A compelling story does not automatically mean it should be in a portfolio. When we think about building a portfolio, we're NOT asking: “Is this interesting?” We're asking: Do I have all my bases covered when building a diversified allocation? If commodities like silver rise, does my portfolio benefit? How can owning different asset classes in my portfolio reduce volatility? Does my portfolio align with my long-term financial goals? Because a stand-alone commodity like silver can: be cyclical experience sharp price swings move on sentiment as much as fundamentals Instead, owing a diversified basket of commodities that includes silver, can potentially lower overall portfolio risk, not increase it The Bigger Takeaway One of the most valuable insights from our conversation wasn't about predicting silver prices. It was about something more fundamental: where demand is quietly growing in the real economy. We're seeing: more electrification more energy transformation more connectivity more industrial complexity And silver sits at the intersection of all of it. Final Thought Over the long term, markets rarely reward investors for buying what's hot today, they reward allocating capital to sectors and asset classes before they become widely popular among investors. Right now, silver is becoming more embedded in how the world operates: how we produce energy how we move how we communicate how we build That doesn't mean it's definitely going higher. And it doesn't replace the need for a diversified, disciplined plan. But it does mean it's worth paying attention to. If you haven't yet, we encourage you to listen to Episode 245 of Payne Points of Wealth, it's a great discussion on how evolving real-world demand, operational execution, and long-term investing intersect.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander sits down with Jordan Rowe of RDM to make the case for remanufactured carwash electronics as a cost-effective, reliable alternative to buying new. RDM has served the carwash industry for roughly three decades, building on a broader background in petroleum, medical and laundry equipment repair. Rowe explains what sets RDM apart: Technicians who specialize exclusively in carwash electronics and see the same boards and components every day. The conversation covers RDM's TCS2 product line, which supports DRB's Tunnel Watch system and is tested on a live tunnel simulator in RDM's facility. Rowe notes that remanufactured parts from RDM typically come in at roughly one-third the cost of new, backed by a one-year warranty on all control boards. Rowe also touches on how RDM plans ahead by tracking what equipment operators are buying today, anticipating where remanufactured carwash electronics will be needed as those systems age out of warranty.

If you've spent years in restriction, figuring out "normal" eating can feel impossible. Am I finally eating enough, or am I overeating? This confusion is more common than you think. In today's coaching over coffee episode, we're tackling the question that keeps so many women stuck in recovery: How do you know if you're eating the right amount when your hunger cues are broken and everything feels foreign? In this practical episode, you'll discover: Why questioning if you need more food usually means YES, you do How to tell the difference between normal eating and actual binge eating The non-negotiable food framework that creates stability Why what feels like "too much" is often just enough Simple strategies to rebuild trust with your body's signals The "two more bites" rule that changed everything How to create mindful, honoring meal experiences For the woman who's tired of questioning every bite and ready to trust her body again. THE GOLDEN RULE: IF YOU'RE QUESTIONING, THE ANSWER IS YES If you find yourself questioning whether you should have another bite or more food—the answer is YES. When you've eaten enough food, you won't need to ask whether you've eaten enough food. This simple truth cuts through the mental noise and gives you permission to trust the impulse for more. THE RECOVERY REALITY: WHAT FEELS LIKE "TOO MUCH" In early recovery, I thought I was binge eating when I was actually just eating normally for the first time in years. The reality: After severe restriction, any increase in food feels like "too much" because you've never allowed yourself adequate amounts. Ask yourself honestly: Are you eating the whole cabinet in a trance-like state? Or are you simply having more than you previously allowed? Most likely, you're experiencing normal eating quantities that feel foreign after restriction—not actual binge eating. THE NON-NEGOTIABLE FRAMEWORK Start with the basics: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks. Every single day. Minimum. Coming from restriction where you skipped meals, avoided eating, or used various disorder tactics, this structure creates stability. The volume will feel different—and that's the point. You're making up for lost time and teaching your body it can trust you again. REBUILDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AMOUNTS The Observation Strategy Watch people without eating disorders. Notice what they order, what normal portions look like, how they eat without internal negotiation. Not for comparison—for education. This helps calibrate what "normal" actually looks like. The Time Check Method When questioning if you should eat: When was the last time you ate something? If it's been over an hour, that's a good opportunity for food. The Two More Bites Rule When you think you're "done": Take two more bites. This creates a safety buffer while giving permission to have more than restriction previously allowed. The Food Pairing Practice Always combine: Carb + protein + healthy fat. This fights the "good vs. bad foods" mentality while ensuring balanced nutrition. CONSCIOUS EATING VS. RESTRICTIVE EATING Conscious eating means: Electronics away, work away Sitting with feelings and thoughts that arise Eating even when not hungry as part of your commitment Taking pleasure in the experience Create honoring experiences: Set candles, buy flowers for your table Use beautiful dinner plates Eat around supportive people for accountability Make mealtime sacred, not rushed REBUILDING HUNGER CUES Your hunger cues may be broken from years of ignoring them. Your body learned not to signal hunger because you weren't going to respond anyway. This is normal and temporary. As you consistently nourish yourself, these signals will return. In the meantime: Follow your meal plan regardless of hunger signals. You're rebuilding trust. THE FOOD JOURNAL APPROACH Instead of calorie counting or macro tracking: Use your journal to explore the eating experience. Track feelings, not numbers: How do I feel before the meal? (anxious, neutral, excited) How do I feel during? (this tastes good, I'm enjoying this) How do I feel after? (energized, satisfied, guilty, peaceful) This builds awareness without the restriction mindset. CHALLENGING FOOD RULES Example: At a barbecue with burgers and buns Old rule: "I don't eat buns" or "I just ate before coming" Recovery challenge: Have the burger AND the bun Ask yourself: Am I honoring what's available, or am I following old restrictions disguised as "not being hungry"? ABUNDANCE VS. SCARCITY MINDSET When asking "Can I have more?" check your motivation: Scarcity mindset: "I shouldn't want more, I've had enough, I need to control this" Abundance mindset: "My body is asking for nourishment, I can trust this signal, there's plenty of food" Recovery operates from abundance. There's enough food. You're allowed to want more. Your body knows what it needs. THE NICOLE HOBBS QUOTE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING "I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always exhausted, always stressed, always rushing. I would like to be remembered as a relaxed woman, a compassionate woman, a woman who works hard and rests deeply, who loves fiercely and lives peacefully. A woman who knows her worth and her power, who accepts her imperfections and embraces her possibilities." This is your best self. This is who you're becoming through recovery—a woman who honors her body without constant internal negotiation. KEY QUOTES
