In this episode of Excess Returns, we're joined by Noel Smith, co-founder and CIO of Convex Asset Management. Noel shares his unique journey from biochemistry and the military to market making, high-frequency trading, and running a volatility-focused hedge fund.

Paul Travers, founder and CEO of Vuzix Corporation, returns to join hosts Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a masterclass in enterprise XR resilience and the long game of hardware innovation. As the architect behind the world's first consumer VR headset (the VFX1 in 1992), Travers has survived every boom and bust cycle in wearable technology for over three decades. Now publicly traded with 80,000 shareholders, Vuzix represents what Rony calls "the GameStop of XR"—a dramatically undervalued company ($200M market cap) that could become the consolidation hub for smaller XR startups while taking on tech giants with superior enterprise focus and manufacturing capabilities.The episode opens with the hosts' unfiltered critique of Meta's recent Connect announcements, where Rony argues that despite $100+ billion invested in Reality Labs, Meta's Ray-Ban display glasses represent minimal advancement over the original Google Glass—a "disappointing" return that small startups with minimal funding are already surpassing. This sets the stage for deeper discussions about Neon, the controversial app paying users $800/month to record conversations for AI training (which Rony compares to Neal Stephenson's "gargoyles" from Snow Crash), and Meta AI's new "Vibes" feed that separates AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake concerns.Guest HighlightsTravers pulls back the curtain on three decades of XR survival:The "Lindy Effect" advantage—how Vuzix's longevity through multiple extinction events creates predictive value for continued success, like "alligators surviving when everything else didn't make it"Enterprise-first strategy—why focusing on warehouse workers, Amazon distribution centers, and pharmaceutical operations (1,000+ systems deployed at Nadro) creates sustainable revenue streams versus consumer fashion battlesManufacturing at scale—Vuzix's Rochester facility produces 1.5 million waveguides annually at 90%+ yield rates, enabling 10,000-unit weekly deliveries and potential silicon carbide waveguide production (the same exotic technology Meta claims costs $10,000 per pair in their Orion prototypes)AI-agnostic platform approach—unlike Meta's closed ecosystem, Vuzix allows BMW, Amazon, and other enterprise clients to run their own AI models locally through NVIDIA Blueprint technology for IP protectionThe "GameStop potential"—with smart money recognizing XR's AI-enabled inflection point, Travers envisions Vuzix becoming the acquisition vehicle for consolidating smaller XR companies, potentially reaching the $20+ billion valuation that experience and manufacturing capability warrantNews Segment HighlightsMeta Connect critique reveals $100+ billion Reality Labs investment yielded minimal advancement over original Google Glass—disappointing monocular displays that startups with minimal funding already surpassNeon app controversy pays users $800/month to record conversations for AI training, creating "voice gargoyles" that transform people into data input mechanismMeta AI launches "Vibes" newsfeed separating AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake and authenticity concerns across social platformsChatGPT privacy settings reminder that users can disable data sharing through hidden personalization and security menus to avoid training their AI replacementsThank you to our sponsors, Zappar and Viture!

The Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon codes at GameStop ended up being incredibly disappointing for fans as most stores ran out within hours of opening on the first day. Not only was this an issue in the West, but reports that codes ran out equally fast in Japan too. Mega Evolution TCG has launched and the Scarlet & Violet era is now over. Pokémon TCG Pocket is getting a new set that will be around for a limited time. After getting back from Paris, Steve played a full hour of Pokémon Legends Z-A and can share thoughts about the game and the battle system.

In this week's episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive headfirst into the eerie world of Silent Hill f, sharing their early impressions and how the game's unsettling progression is shaping up. But the horror doesn't stop there—Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set is spinning a web of disappointment with weak pre-release numbers and sluggish sales. The duo also tackles a major retail shake-up: Costco's decision to pull all Xbox products from shelves and online. Is this a warning sign for Microsoft's gaming future, or just a strategic pivot? Then it's time to unravel the Silent Hill f steelbook fiasco at GameStop. Who dropped the ball, and why are collectors fuming? Finally, John and Ryan take a nostalgic detour with a full review of Gran Turismo 2 for the PS1—does this classic racer still hold up in 2025?   Articles covered: https://www.cbr.com/xbox-removed-from-costco-stores-america-tariffs-rising-prices/ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/383911-silent-hill-f/81046285   Want more Game Deflators content?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.In this episode we're diving deep into trading psychology, one of the most overlooked but most powerful edges a trader can have. The market isn't just about charts, numbers, or news—it's about how your brain reacts when real money is on the line. That's where fear, greed, and discipline come in, and why mastering your mindset separates winners from the crowd.We kick things off with a story about tulip mania, one of the first financial bubbles in history. The lessons from the 1600s still apply today. Whether it's GameStop, AMC, or crypto hype, the cycle of euphoria and collapse repeats again and again. The truth is simple: human emotion drives the market, not logic.➡️ Learn why killing your ego is the first step to protecting your account➡️ See how fear and greed physically rewire your decisions in real time➡️ Understand why sitting in cash is often the smartest trade you can make➡️ Discover why discipline and patience pay off more than constant activity➡️ Build systems that take the emotion out of your trades and replace them with rulesThroughout the session, we tie these lessons back to practical strategies. You'll see how OVTLYR's data-driven approach helps traders avoid emotional traps by showing clear buy and sell signals, fear and greed metrics, and sector breadth insights. These tools give you the ability to follow the plan and stay consistent—even when your emotions tell you otherwise.Trading isn't about being right every time. It's about having a plan that works over the long run. Losses will happen, but if you treat them as tuition instead of rejection, they stop being threats and start becoming opportunities to learn. That's why the best traders don't chase every move. They wait, stay patient, and strike only when the odds are stacked in their favor.We also talk about the importance of “strategic stillness.” Just because you're not trading doesn't mean you're not making progress. Sometimes the real money is made in the waiting. Most traders fail because they think activity equals results. But in reality, restraint, patience, and discipline are what lead to consistent gains.Stick around for community highlights, giveaways, and stories that prove the OVTLYR way works. You'll hear how traders in the community are capturing double-digit returns, avoiding big losses, and finally finding peace of mind in their trading. It's proof that when you stop guessing and start following tested systems, you can win in the market without the stress and chaos that takes most traders out.If you've ever felt FOMO, panic-sold at the wrong time, or held onto losers too long, this video is going to hit home. Trading psychology isn't optional—it's the foundation of everything. Master your mind, follow your plan, and trade like an OVTLYR.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Jeremy welcomes Adam Martin (Dave & Adam's Card World) for a deep dive on the hobby's biggest pivot: Topps/Fanatics taking over the NBA license and what it means for Panini, breakers, and LCSs. Adam lays out the near-term timeline around Topps' Oct 23 launch, why Panini isn't going away (expect player-licensed basketball), and how pricing and allocations could shift as Fanatics spreads product more widely. They get tactical for shop owners and breakers, dynamic pricing, the loss of Flawless/Treasure margins, and why high-end basketball may thin out initially while Topps builds premium brands. On live commerce, they compare Whatnot vs. Fanatics Live vs. eBay Live, and talk through the risk/reward if Fanatics favors breakers on its own platform. Macro factors hit the table too: Walmart's booth at the National, GameStop's hobby push, distributors pivoting (hello, Pokémon), and how World Cup Prism keeps catalyzing soccer. The segment closes on market psychology: the $12.93M Jordan–Kobe Logoman, Kevin O'Leary's capital, whether modern records trigger more supply, and why the best copies may disappear into “forever collections.” Insight-packed, candid, and grounded—this is your field guide to the post-license-swap era.

The Trump family's latest venture—a so-called “crypto treasury” stock—could generate their biggest payday through the WLFI token from World Liberty Financial, while being a potential minefield for investors. The offering follows the success of Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, now renamed as Strategy, a “bitcoin treasury company” that accumulates bitcoin by using debt and new stock issues to keep on buying more. Listen in on a conversation between some of The Wall Street Journal's sharpest financial minds in the debut episode of Ticker Shock as our team unpacks the trade. Ticker Shock provides insights to help finance-curious listeners connect the dots between what's happening in policy, markets and the economy to their financial lives and investments. This week, business and finance editor Alex Frangos and markets reporter Chelsey Dulaney are joined by Streetwise columnist James Mackintosh and Markets A.M. newsletter writer and investing columnist Spencer Jakab to discuss the “infinite money glitch.” They also talk about how these sorts of tokens compare to meme stocks such as GameStop and AMC.

"It's that old saying, right? It's that meme. It's like, however bad you think it is, it's going to get worse, right? But at the same time, it's also going to get better.So be very bearish on fiat. Be very bullish on Bitcoin. This system, it's going to get worse. The collateral problem and the fail to deliver problem is going to get worse. Your shares that you own in brokerage aren't really yours. They're held by the broker. They're held at the DTCC. They can freeze them whenever they want. They can create fake shares whenever they want. They can fail to deliver. They can naked short. They can manipulate with derivatives, all these sorts of things. And really the only financial asset that you can truly own is Bitcoin."~ Peruvian Bull In this episode, I sit down with Peruvian Bull for a deep dive into the fragility of our financial system. From Japan's zombified economy to the slow-motion collapse of the U.S. dollar, we peel back the illusions of stability that most people take for granted. Why does the debt machine always accelerate? What if your stocks aren't really yours? And how does Bitcoin fit as the inevitable escape hatch?We dig into the GameStop saga, the “great taking” of securities, stealth QE, the carry trade, and why debt — not retail payments — may be the problem Bitcoin is destined to solve first. Along the way, we explore what happens when central banks kick the can “up the stairs,” why Japan's story is a glimpse of our own future, and how individuals can prepare themselves before the next inning begins.This one is a rich discussion for anyone trying to make sense of late-stage fiat, the dollar endgame, and the hope that Bitcoin offers.

We analyze key macroeconomic trends currently shaping market sentiment and influencing the price of Bitcoin, and we connect these broader forces to the growing movement of companies adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset. A unique alignment of macro conditions—rising inflation concerns, weakening fiat credibility, and increased investor appetite for alternative stores of value—is creating a compelling case for struggling companies to pivot toward Bitcoin as a strategic hedge. In this discussion, we explore the potential ripple effects of this trend, including how it might play out if widely adopted. Could the entry of well-known, high-profile stocks—such as GameStop—into the Bitcoin treasury space spark a wave of speculative enthusiasm among retail investors? And if so, could that enthusiasm push the sector into full-blown bubble territory? We also examine how such a scenario could impact broader crypto markets and what it might ultimately mean for on-chain value. If this trend accelerates, we could be witnessing the early stages of a feedback loop between corporate adoption, market speculation, and Bitcoin's long-term valuation. Topics: First up, We analyze key macroeconomic trends currently shaping market sentiment and influencing the price of Bitcoin.

This summer, a new trend hit Wall Street: Chinese meme stocks. Promoted in WhatsApp groups, Reddit threads, and even under fake YouTube comments, a group of obscure Chinese companies soared — and then collapsed — wiping out billions in investor savings. In this podcast, we explore how how this happened and look at a chinese biotech stock which briefly reached a $38 billion valuation without selling any products, we try to understand why the FBI is calling it “ramp and dump” fraud, and how scammers are impersonating brokers, analysts, and even YouTubers to lure in victims.We'll compare these knockoff meme stocks to America's domestically produced meme stocks — GameStop, AMC, and the DORK stocks — and ask: is this just low-quality IP theft, or a new frontier in financial absurdity?Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Er komen nog wel wat cijfers aan, van softwarebedrijven Oracle en Adobe, en van het welbekende meme-aandeel Gamestop. Verder houdt Nike een jaarvergadering.

Kendall Berg sits down with Kelly Poquiz Burke, a former Doritos brand manager who walked away from Super Bowl campaigns, corporate titles, and nonstop promotions to build a life that actually aligned with her values. Kelly's story begins at the peak of success—meeting celebrities, managing billion-dollar brands, and collecting promotions—but underneath, she was burning out while holding it all together as a new mom and cancer survivor. In this conversation, Kelly explains why passion isn't enough for lasting fulfillment, how over-identifying with your career keeps you stuck, and why she believes Life-Work Alignment is a more sustainable framework than the outdated idea of balance. She shares the moment her three-year-old daughter asked her not to leave again, the Apple Watch notification that confirmed her stress levels, and the four pillars that now guide her work and life. If you've ever wondered whether your career is defining too much of who you are, this episode will shift your perspective. In this episode, we discuss: How do you know when it's time to walk away from a dream job? Why is purpose more sustainable than passion in your career? What are the early signs of burnout most people ignore?

I will be at Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day Weekend, moderating Dragon Con's first ever Speedrun Showcase, speaking with the Dad of Boy himself Christopher Judge, and moderating a panel with the cast of SYFY's The Magicians! (Sadly, the Mortal Kombat panel was dropped from the schedule the day after this was recorded!) Sony has raised the price of all models of the PS5 by $50 in the USA due to the tariffs. Gamestop made a PR move saying they would cover the difference if you traded in a last gen console - but that deal was only for 24 hours. Steam now calculates the review score based on reviews in your spoken language to prevent review bombing from other territories - but they give you the option to go back to including all reviews. Then we talk about games that people were excited for at Gamescom, and to Rob about Dragon Con.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Michael Jagdeo, a headhunter and founder working with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate, about the cycles of money, power, and technology that shape our world. Their conversation touches on financial history through The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson and William Bagehot's The Money Market, the rise and fall of financial centers from London to New York and the new Texas Stock Exchange, the consolidation of industries and the theory of oligarchical collectivism, the role of AI as both tool and chaos agent, Bitcoin and “quantitative re-centralization,” the dynamics of exponential organizations, and the balance between collectivism and individualism. Jagdeo also shares recruiting philosophies rooted in stories like “stone soup,” frameworks like Yu-Kai Chou's Octalysis and the User Type Hexad, and book recommendations including Salim Ismail's Exponential Organizations and Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation. Along the way they explore servant leadership, Price's Law, Linux and open source futures, religion as an operating system, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. You can learn more about Michael Jagdeo or reach out to him directly through Twitter or LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Michael Jagdeo, who shares his path from headhunting actuaries and IT talent into launching startups with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate.00:10 They connect recruiting to financial history, discussing actuaries, The Ascent of Money, and William Bagehot's The Money Market on the London money market and railways.00:15 The Rothschilds, institutional knowledge, and Corn Laws lead into questions about New York as a financial center and the quiet launch of the Texas Stock Exchange by Citadel and BlackRock.00:20 Capital power, George Soros vs. the Bank of England, chaos, paper clips, and Orwell's oligarchical collectivism frame industry consolidation, syndicates, and stone soup.00:25 They debate imperial conquest, bourgeoisie leisure, the decline of the middle class, AI as chaos agent, digital twins, Sarah Connor, Godzilla, and nuclear metaphors.00:30 Conversation turns to Bitcoin, “quantitative re-centralization,” Jack Bogle, index funds, Robinhood micro bailouts, and AI as both entropy and negative entropy.00:35 Jagdeo discusses Jim Keller, Tenstorrent, RISC-V, Nvidia CUDA, exponential organizations, Price's Law, bureaucracy, and servant leadership with the parable of stone soup.00:40 Recruiting as symbiosis, biophilia, trust, Judas, Wilhelm Reich, AI tools, Octalysis gamification, Jordan vs. triangle offense, and the role of laughter in persuasion emerge.00:45 They explore religion as operating systems, Greek gods, Comte's stages, Nietzsche, Jung, nostalgia, scientism, and Jordan Peterson's revival of tradition.00:50 The episode closes with Linux debates, Ubuntu, Framer laptops, PewDiePie, and Jagdeo's nod to Liminal Snake on epistemic centers and turning curses into blessings.Key InsightsOne of the central insights of the conversation is how financial history repeats through cycles of consolidation and power shifts. Michael Jagdeo draws on William Bagehot's The Money Market to explain how London became the hub of European finance, much like New York later did, and how the Texas Stock Exchange signals a possible southern resurgence of financial influence in America. The pattern of wealth moving with institutional shifts underscores how markets, capital, and politics remain intertwined.Jagdeo and Alsop emphasize that industries naturally oligarchize. Borrowing from Orwell's “oligarchical collectivism,” Jagdeo notes that whether in diamonds, food, or finance, consolidation emerges as economies of scale take over. This breeds syndicates and monopolies, often interpreted as conspiracies but really the predictable outcome of industrial maturation.Another powerful theme is the stone soup model of collaboration. Jagdeo applies this parable to recruiting, showing that no single individual can achieve large goals alone. By framing opportunities as shared ventures where each person adds their own ingredient, leaders can attract top talent while fostering genuine symbiosis.Technology, and particularly AI, is cast as both chaos agent and amplifier of human potential. The conversation likens AI to nuclear power—capable of great destruction or progress. From digital twins to Sarah Connor metaphors, they argue AI represents not just artificial intelligence but artificial knowledge and action, pushing humans to adapt quickly to its disruptive presence.The discussion of Bitcoin and digital currencies reframes decentralization as potentially another trap. Jagdeo provocatively calls Bitcoin “quantitative re-centralization,” suggesting that far from liberating individuals, digital currencies may accelerate neo-feudalism by creating new oligarchies and consolidating financial control in unexpected ways.Exponential organizations and the leverage of small teams emerge as another key point. Citing Price's Law, Jagdeo explains how fewer than a dozen highly capable individuals can now achieve billion-dollar valuations thanks to open source hardware, AI, and network effects. This trend redefines scale, making nimble collectives more powerful than bureaucratic giants.Finally, the episode highlights the cyclical nature of civilizations and belief systems. From Rome vs. Carthage to Greek gods shifting with societal needs, to Nietzsche's “God is dead” and Jung's view of recurring deaths of divinity, Jagdeo argues that religion, ideology, and operating systems reflect underlying incentives. Western nostalgia for past structures, whether political or religious, risks idolatry, while the real path forward may lie in new blends of individualism, collectivism, and adaptive tools like Linux and AI.
