Honderden miljarden dollars investeren in datacenters, taalmodellen of nieuwe AI-producten: het blijkt allemaal niet nodig om beleggers blij te krijgen. Meta, Alphabet, Amazon en Microsoft wisten niet hoeveel en hoe snel ze maar geld in hun producten moesten blijven pompen. Maar nu staat er één bedrijf ver boven hen. Apple vecht opeens weer om de titel van meest waardevolle beursbedrijf ter wereld. Een nek-aan-nek race met Nvidia. Wie wint 'm? En is dit het bewijs dat Apple het bij het rechte eind had en heeft? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Daarin hebben we het ook over nóg zo'n bedrijf dat volle bak in de investeringen is gevlogen. Meta bouwde als een gek datacenters om maar genoeg computerkracht voor hun modellen te hebben. En nu zitten ze met een overschot. De oplossing: het verhuren van die computerkracht. Ze zijn in onderhandeling met Anthropic om er 10 miljard dollar voor te krijgen. Verder hoor je over slechte cijfers van Ryanair. Laatst werd er nog bijna een passagier uit het raam gezogen, nu raken ze een paar beleggers definitief kwijt. Ondertussen loopt de topman van Boeing glimlachend over een beurs in het Verenigd Koninkrijk omdat hij de weg omhoog voor zijn bedrijf terug heeft gevonden. En we vertellen je over een persbureau, dat al over een beurswaarde van 1 biljoen dollar voor ASML droomt. Te gast: Arend Jan Kamp, van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast Het Beurscafé BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie.

Okta Japan株式会社は7月17日、企業におけるAIツールの利用実態を調査した「Okta Enterprise AI Index」を発表した。

In this episode, Robert explains why true diversification is about managing exposure, not simply owning more stocks, and explains where index funds come into play. He shares what he's watching as the Magnificent 7 enter a pivotal earnings season, why market reactions often matter more than the earnings themselves, and offers a practical framework for deciding when to trim or sell positions. Throughout the episode, he covers disciplined portfolio construction, risk management, and balancing higher-conviction investments with long-term stability.

Het heeft flinke indruk gemaakt: de krater bij het aandeel van IBM. Ooit was dat hét techbedrijf op Wall Street, maar nu hebben beleggers alle hoop verloren. Volgens de topman stellen klanten hun bestellingen bij IBM uit, omdat ze eerst andere AI-gerelateerde aankopen moeten doen waar ze bakken met geld aan kwijt zijn. En dat brengt zorgen met zich mee. Komt van uitstel afstel, vragen beleggers zich af. IBM is echter niet de enige die met dit probleem zou kunnen zitten, daar wijst Errol Keyner van de VEB op. Deze week moeten andere softwarebedrijven gaan bewijzen dat zij hier niet - of op z'n minst minder - door worden geraakt. Of dat gaat lukken, hoor je in deze aflevering. 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!

The S&P 500 is up about 10.2% this year. That average is hiding one of the most lopsided markets in a decade: energy up 28%, communication services negative, and the Magnificent Seven — the stocks that carried the market for three years — collectively underwater.In this week's Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon go beyond the index, sector by sector. They walk the 2026 scoreboard — energy +28.1%, technology +26.8%, industrials +16%, with a 30-point gap between the top and bottom sectors — and unpack the year's most important story: the broadening of the market, with 46.3% of S&P companies now beating the index itself, up from 30.5% last year. Then the mechanics most investors never see: why seven stocks absorb a third of every dollar in a standard S&P fund, why the SPY and QQQ share 8–9 of their top 10 holdings, and why your "diversified" ETFs may be the same bundle of stocks in different wrappers. They close with the Fed's looming rate decision — hike odds jumped from 26% to 73% in one month — and the five durable themes they're watching for the second half.What you'll learn:The 2026 sector scoreboard: all 11 sectors ranked, from energy's +28.1% to communication services' −3.1%The broadening of the index: why 46.3% of S&P companies are beating the index — a decade-plus firstWhy the Mag Seven flipped from engine to anchor (Microsoft down 20%+), and what the index looks like without themThe ETF overlap trap: cap weighting, 35–55% in the top 10, and wrappers around the same stocksWhat a Fed rate hike would do to sector leadership — winners and losers under both scenariosBuffett's warning: "a church with a casino attached," and why down doesn't mean cheapThe dials for outperforming: sector weighting, security selection, valuation discipline, income, cash, and tax managementTaking gains on purpose: the sequence-of-returns lesson in 2026's −4.3% Q1 and +15.2% Q2Five second-half themes: electrification, defense, nuclear renaissance, the aging population, and the infrastructure rebuildPlus Money In The News:73% odds of a Fed rate hike by September — up from 26% just a month earlier — and the two culprits behind itWarren Buffett: it's tough to find value "when everybody is preferring gambling"Blockbuster stock sales — SpaceX's record $75B IPO, Alphabet's $85B raise, SK Hynix ADRs — and whether $500B of new equity can overwhelm the bull marketRead the companion blog: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: https://app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaBrowse the full Money On Tap library: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comSecurities and advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.If the S&P 500 is up 10%, why isn't my portfolio?Because the S&P 500 is cap-weighted: seven stocks absorb about a third of every dollar, and the top 10 holdings make up 35–55% of most S&P funds. In 2026 those mega-caps lagged — the Mag Seven are collectively negative — while sectors like energy (+28.1%) and technology (+26.8%) led. If your ETFs overlap in the same top names, you own the laggards several times over. The fix starts with knowing what you actually own.

Podcasting 2.0 July 17th 2026 Episode 265 - "Jihobbyist" Slop or Not! Lightning or Frightening! Adam and Dave go deep with the Boardroom after a 2 week break ShowNotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - PODPING GOSSIP-WRITER → PRODUCTION + INDEX PLUMBING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - THE OPEN INDEX TURNS UP INSIDE AN AI SCRAPER (SUNO) @js flagged it: a hack at Suno reveals the AI music generator used PodcastIndex to do its targeting — "with the help of an online tool called PodcastIndex, Suno identified 420,000 different podcasts that had at least five 30-minute episodes and sought to download roughly 1 million hours of podcasts." Board question: the Index exists to be "free, for any use" — and here "any use" is an AI company bulk-harvesting a million hours to train on. Is that the deal working as designed, or does anything change? A live test of the open-index ethos. Ties straight to the on-device/namespace fight below and to the spam/AI-slop lane — the same extraction pressure from three directions. Hack reveals Suno scraped via PodcastIndex (404 Media) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 - ON-DEVICE AI vs NAMESPACE TAGS — "DIDN'T YOU INVENT THE NAMESPACE?" Your own post set it off: Adam — Apple in talks to run a startup's compressed AI models on-device (PrisMML) — "More fodder for on-device features vs new tags." The core board fight of the week.

“If you can only explain the arguments of the other side because they're mad or dangerous or dumb, the problem is with you.” — Turi Munthe On yesterday's show, the psychiatrist Sally Satel described how Americans imagine their own mental condition differently, depending on their politics and age. Which is a nice segue for today's conversation with the Anglo-French journalist turned media entrepreneur Turi Munthe. It's not just in our mental health self-evaluation, Munthe argues, that we hallucinate reality. Indeed, the French born Munthe often sounds like one of his post-structuralist compatriots in his defiantly slippery notion of ontological reality. In Why We Think What We Think: The Unexpected Origins of Our Deepest Beliefs, Munthe argues that our deepest convictions turn out to be shaped by genetics, brain shape and sometimes even by the agricultural legacy of our distant ancestors. Left and right thinkers, Munthe argues, are different political phenotypes — each hallucinating their own version of reality. Total relativism, then — the full French post-structuralist monty? Not quite. Here's where Munthe's Englishness kicks in. Following the Anglo-Russian philosopher Isaiah Berlin, Munthe insists pluralism and relativism are different. So Turi Munthe doesn't just think what he thinks because of his English or French origins. Borrowing from the cognitive scientists Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier, Munthe defines thinking as a “contact sport”. So, for example, believing that the 2020 election was stolen is what Munthe calls a social commitment, because humans would rather be wrong together than right alone. Speaking of convenient segues, Munthe's thoughts on thinking set the scene for next Tuesday's conversation with Emily Eakin, author of The Frenchmen. It's her history of seductive post-structuralists like Foucault, Derrida and Lacan who corrupted a whole generation of literary American Ivy Leaguers (including Eakin) into hallucinating reality. Five Takeaways •       Pluralism Is Not Relativism. Munthe opens with Isaiah Berlin's distinction: registering the sincerity and value of opinions across the political, religious, and ethical spectrum does not relativize truth. That Charles Windsor is King of the United Kingdom is a statement of fact; whether you're a monarchist or a republican is where opinion begins. The book confines itself to the second category — beliefs, values, and opinions that cannot be factually proven — and asks what the nonrational influences on them actually are. The answer is humbling: genetics account for perhaps half of political persuasion, and the rest is shaped by everything from brain anatomy to the agriculture of our ancestors. •       Different Political Phenotypes. At the margins, left and right differ neurologically: right-leaners are on average more readily startled by loud noises and more attentive to threat, while left-leaners carry a slightly larger anterior cingulate cortex — the brain region where we process ambiguity and split hairs. That anatomy, Munthe argues, explains the ideological capture of academia and media better than any conspiracy: hair-splitters go where the hair-splitting is, and a conservative 22-year-old doesn't volunteer for a newsroom where 80% of colleagues think differently. We are, in his phrase, different political phenotypes, each hallucinating a different version of reality. •       Thinking as a Contact Sport. Drawing on Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier's research, Munthe argues that reason didn't evolve for solitary contemplation — Rodin's Thinker is the wrong image — but for argument: to convince you to hunt the buffalo with me, I need reasons that look objective to you too. The evidence is everywhere, from the most impactful academic papers being written by pairs and groups to the creative density of small university towns. The implication is political: the people we disagree with are not obstacles to good thinking but the condition of it — the loyal opposition that helps us get out of ourselves. •       Wrong Together Rather Than Right Alone. Munthe's reading of January 6 and the stolen-election faith is social rather than psychiatric: an enormous number of our beliefs matter more for what they do than for what they say, and professing them is a commitment to a group. From an evolutionary perspective, believing what your village believes — even about the god who is a giant rock at the end of the field — is intelligent, because the ostracized lose the protection of the group. The terrifying data point is the marriage test: in the 1950s, around 4% of families would have objected to a child marrying across party lines; today it approaches 45%. That is affective polarization, and it can pull societies apart. •       The Problem Is With You. Munthe spent his twenties unable to fathom American gun rights — supporters had to be bought, dumb, or morally corrupt — until he did the work and found a tradition he now calls beautiful and heroic, whether or not he shares it. His rule of thumb: if you can only explain the other side's arguments as madness, danger, or stupidity, the problem is with you. This is not centrism — there was no middle ground on slavery or the Holocaust — but a defense of the clash itself: societies need the left to fix inequality and the right to defend the village, and we think best when the two are, in his words, continually bashed against each other. About the Guest Turi Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur.

Wie immer sprechen wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms über aktuelle Ereignisse. Als Erstes betrachten wir zwei Angriffskriege, die beide mit der Erwartung eines schnellen Sieges begannen. Einer wurde von Putin gestartet, der andere von Trump. Anschließend diskutieren wir eine Kontroverse um kubanische Ärzte, die in Kalabrien in Italien Notfall- und andere medizinische Dienste leisten. Danach sprechen wir über den Environmental Performance Index 2026, der letzte Woche veröffentlicht wurde. Ich bin stolz, dass europäische Länder den Index anführen. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Wimbledon-Endspiele, die am vergangenen Wochenende ausgetragen wurden. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Temporal Adverbs. Johann Sebastian Bach gilt als einer der bekanntesten Komponisten überhaupt. Ihm zu Ehren wird jährlich das Bachfest in Leipzig veranstaltet, das jedes Jahr unter einem anderen Motto steht. Diesmal ging es um die Kunst, miteinander zu reden und einander zuzuhören – eine Fähigkeit, die man aus der polyphonen Melodieführung in Bachs Werken lernen kann. Deutschland hat es bei der Fußballweltmeisterschaft zum dritten Mal in Folge nicht unter die besten 16 geschafft. Das deutsche Team war nach einer umstrittenen Partie gegen Paraguay nach einem Elfmeterschießen spektakulär ausgeschieden. Das Schicksal hat uns mal wieder auf die Schippe genommen, und genau das ist auch die Redewendung dieser Woche: Jemanden auf die Schippe nehmen. Putin und Trump: Wenn ein kurzer Krieg zur Dauerkrise wird US-Regierung fordert, dass kubanische Ärzte Italien verlassen Europäische Länder führen den Environmental Performance Index 2026 an Wimbledon 2026: Comebacks als Zeichen von Willenskraft und Resilienz Lernen mit Bach Deutsche Nationalmannschaft erlebt erneute WM-Katastrophe

Na een spetterend begin lijkt Space X terug bij af. Het ruimtevaartbedrijf van Elon Musk schommelt een maand na de beursgang weer rond de $135. Is dat te wijten aan een milde afstraffing van tech, of is er meer aan de hand? En is dit een kans voor alle beleggers die bij de IPO naast de pot piesten om alsnog in te stappen? En het zal niet zijn geweest wat ze voor ogen hadden bij Prosus, toen ze Just Eat overnamen: het creëren van een extra grote concurrent. Toch is dat wat er is gebeurd: Prosus moest gedwongen afstand doen van hun andere belang, dat in maaltijdbezorger Delivery Hero. och is het gebeurd. Uber koopt heel Delivery Hero op voor 'n kleine 15 miljard dollar, en wordt zo de grootste maaltijdbezorger buiten China. Wat betekent dat voor Prosus - en voor Uber?!Verder in deze aflevering:- De uitstekende kwartaalcijfers van TSMC- Zaken gaan goed bij Nedap- Apple krijgt toestemming om Apple Intelligence uit te rollen in China- Stijging van het aantal aan AI-bedrijven gerichte bedreigingen- Eli Lilly gaat in de psychedelica- De rechtszaakhattrick bij Paramount Te gast: Martine Hafkamp van Fintessa Vermogensbeheer BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Po summite NATO v Ankare je zrejmé, že členské štáty budú musieť v najbližších rokoch investovať do obrany čoraz viac — ale zároveň aj rozumnejšie. Cieľ päť percent je nová realita, to však neznamená, že stačí iba nakúpiť drahú techniku. Dôležité je hlavne to, čo za peniaze získame. Podľa Viliama Ostatníka, výkonného riaditeľa think-tanku Adapt Institute, ktorý bol hosťom video relácie Index s Evou Frantovou, sa už mnohé dôležité nákupy dejú. „Pozitívne vnímam ohlásené dokúpenie desiateho dotankovacieho lietadla, aj strategických lietadiel od Airbusu a takisto viacúčelového prieskumného lietadla GlobalEye od firmy Saab. Všetky tieto plány sú pozitívnou správou nielen pre NATO, aj priamo pre európsky priemysel, keďže ide o európske firmy,“ vysvetľuje. K lepšiemu sa podľa neho mení aj spôsob, ako sa Európa snaží urýchliť budovanie svojej vlastnej obranyschopnosti. Ešte donedávna ju totiž do značej miery brzdilo viacero vecí, od chýbajúcich peňazí, cez výrobnú kapacitu, regulácie, až po politickú vôľu. „Niektoré časti sa však nedajú nafúknuť z piatka na pondelok, ako napríklad výcvik a nábor do ozbrojených síl, ale aj získanie kvalifikovanej pracovnej sily, ktorá by vedela naplniť požiadavky obranného priemyslu. Zvýšiť tieto stavy môže trvať aj roky,“ dodáva. Osobitnou kapitolou sú však aj zmeny, ktoré do obranného priemyslu, respektíve do spôsobu vedenia vojny, prináša umelá inteligencia a autonómnosť. Podľa Ostatníka ide o revolúciu vo vojenstve podobnú vlakom, telegrafovému spojeniu či vyvinutiu navádzaných striel. „Umelá inteligencia dokáže absolútne urýchliť rozhodovacie schopnosti veliteľa a v prípade, že je spojená s kinetickou zbraňou, zvýšiť aj ničivú silu útoku. Z toho však následne vyplývajú aj otázky o tom, ako a na čo ju používať a prípadne, ako sa proti niečomu takému brániť,“ dodáva analytik s tým, že dnes má ešte stále posledné slovo pri rozhodovaní o cieľoch útoku človek. V budúcnosti však určite vyvstane otázka, do akej miery by v procese mala byť zapojená AI. A dohodnúť sa na pravidlách bude chcieť, okrem iného, aj dostatok politickej vôle. V rozhovore sa dozviete: čo priniesol summit NATO v Ankare obrannému priemyslu, kam sa posúva obranný priemysel Európy, do akej miery ho ovplyvňuje využívanie AI, dronov a autonómnosť, na koľko myslíme už dnes na obranu proti týmto novým druhom vedenia boja a kde sú hranice ich využívania, prečo je rozvoj obrany štát rovnako dôležitý ako fungujúce zdravotníctvo či školstvo.

"Make Your Own Content" Is Incomplete Advice. Here Is What It Actually Means. I was scrolling TikTok, as one does, and I came across an actor who was fired up. She said the advice to make your own content is terrible. Her take was basically, I'm an actor, not a writer, not a producer, not a director. I don't have a crew or a budget. So what are you actually asking me to do here? Pull a short film out of thin air between my day job and my auditions? And I watched that video and thought, you know what, there's a point there that's fair. But I also think the advice is incomplete. Not wrong. Incomplete. And incomplete advice is dangerous because it sounds reasonable enough that people try it, fail, and then blame themselves. So today I want to unpack what make your own content actually means, who it's for, and how it means something completely different if you're a voice actor. The Advice Is Missing a Map As it's typically delivered, in workshops, masterclasses, panels, the advice sounds like this. Don't wait to be cast. Create your own opportunities. Write something. Film something. Put it out there. For a certain type of actor with a certain set of skills and resources, that advice is genuinely transformative. I've seen it work. But here is what it quietly assumes. It assumes you can write, or that writing is easy to pick up on top of everything else you're already doing. It assumes you have access to equipment and someone who knows how to use it. It assumes you have time. Not just time, but the kind of uninterrupted, energized creative time that doesn't happen at 10pm after a full day of survival jobbing and self-taping. It assumes you have money for space, editing, sound, and the seventeen other things that go into putting something on screen. And it assumes that the part of you that loves acting also loves producing. Those are not the same skill set. They are often not even the same personality type. So yes. As a blanket statement handed to every actor in every room, make your own content is incomplete at best and demoralizing at worst. What Nobody Tells You Recently I got together with some creative friends and we all said the same thing. We want to make something. We have ideas and we're tired of waiting. And here is what happened next, and this is the part that never gets said. We divided it up. I like to write, so I wrote some scenes. I don't want to be on camera, so I'm not going to be. A friend wants to film, so she's behind the camera. She needs reel content, so we're building it so she gets that. Other people are acting in it. The only money we're spending is on the space to film. That's it. Nobody is doing everything. Nobody is wearing every hat. Nobody is burned out before we even start. We collaborated. I know that sounds obvious when I say it out loud. But I don't think it's what people picture when someone says make your own content. They picture one exhausted person alone in their apartment trying to write, film, light, direct, act, edit, and distribute a short film by themselves. And that version is a nightmare. The collaboration version is actually fun. It's sustainable. It gets finished. So if you've been sitting on this advice and feeling like you can't do it because you're not a filmmaker, I want you to recalibrate the question. The question isn't can I make this content alone. The question is who do I know who wants to make something. Those are very different questions, and the second one is a lot more answerable. For Voice Actors, This Conversation Is Better Here is what making your own content looks like in voiceover. You need something to read. Then you record yourself reading it. You don't need a location, a camera, lighting rigs. You need your booth, your mic, your interface, and something worth recording. That something still needs to be good. You can't grab any text off the internet and call it content. It needs to be written well and serve a purpose. But here's what the on-camera version of this advice doesn't have access to that you do. There are artists everywhere who want their work heard. Poets who have never had their work read aloud by a professional voice actor. Playwrights with monologues sitting in a drawer. Short story writers who would lose their minds if they found someone with a real studio setup who wanted to record their work. Indie game developers who need narration. Indie comic writers who want audio versions of their stories. People are writing things right now who don't know you exist. And you can be the person who brings their words to life. In exchange, you get professional material to record, a real sample, and a collaboration that means something. That's not just making content. That's building a creative network. That's two artists making each other's work better. What to Actually Do This Week If you're an on-camera actor, stop trying to do this alone. Make a list of five creative people in your life. Actors, writers, directors, photographers. Send them a voice memo. Say something like, hey, I've been wanting to make something. Are you in? You will be surprised how fast a team assembles when someone actually initiates. Start smaller than you think. A two-person scene. A monologue filmed in a living room. A table read on Zoom. Something you can actually finish is worth infinitely more than a grand vision that never gets started. If you're a voice actor, find a writer this week. Go to an open mic. Post in a local Facebook group or Discord. Reach out to someone whose Substack you love and tell them you'd love to record something they've written as a creative project. Most writers have never been asked this. Most of them will say yes. The Bottom Line Make your own content is not wrong. It's just been delivered without a map. Figure out what you actually bring. Find people who bring the rest. Start smaller than your ego wants you to. And do not try to be a one-person production company unless that is genuinely who you are. If you're a voice actor, your version of this is more accessible than almost anyone's. You have the setup. You have the skill. And there are artists out there right now who want exactly what you can offer. Go find them. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? If something landed for you today, share it with an actor friend who needs to hear it. And reach out to Mandy at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com for questions, content, whatever it is.

In this episode, we kick things off with a sobering snapshot of the freight industry's ongoing financial pain. Four companies are eliminating nearly 250 jobs at logistics and distribution facilities across New Jersey, North Carolina, Illinois, and California, while ⁠nine transportation and logistics-related companies have recently sought bankruptcy protection⁠. The largest announced workforce reduction involves Fusion Transport, a New Jersey logistics provider planning to lay off seventy-nine employees at its Piscataway facility effective October first, while bankruptcy filings continue to pile up across multiple freight segments. Next, we shift over to the agricultural freight sector, where a strategic acquisition is dramatically expanding access to specialized livestock hauling services. Springfield, Missouri-based BulkLoads announced Monday that it has ⁠acquired Livestock Network, an online load board and community serving the livestock transportation industry since 2000⁠. Livestock Network members will now gain access to BulkLoads' broader ecosystem of products, including Smart Freight Funding for freight factoring, Bulk Insurance Group, BulkTMS transportation management software, and Bulk Freight Insights market intelligence. Finally, we unpack a staggering shift in driver compensation as ⁠the Truck Driver Pay Index surged by 13.5 percent in just two months⁠. Jointly calculated by AscendTMS and Superior Trucking Payroll Services, the index hit 170.04 in June, up from 150.83 in April — easily the highest two-month gain in the history of the index, which has been calculated since 2020. With a typical lag of four to six months between higher spot rates and driver pay, experts suggest more increases are likely in the coming weeks and months. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Think the secret to getting rich is finding the next Nvidia, picking the perfect fund manager, or making clever moves before everyone else?  Well, this episode is here to change that.  Today we're looking at the investment strategy that was once labelled as boring, uninspiring and almost impossible to sell, but went on to reshape the way millions of people invest.  Index investing started with a simple idea: stop trying to beat the market, and own it instead.  It sounds almost too basic to work. But when you take a closer look, simple can become seriously powerful.  In this episode, we unpack why "average" market returns may be better than they sound, why more activity does not always mean better results, and why the hardest part of investing is often leaving a good plan alone.  In this episode:  Why trying to beat the market is harder than it looks  The hidden cost of constantly tinkering with your investments  Why "boring" can be a serious advantage  The behaviour trap that catches even confident investors  How a simpler strategy can help keep more of your money working for longer  What to think about before making your next investment move  This one is for anyone who has ever looked at their portfolio and thought, should I be doing more? Because by the end, you may realise the better question is: am I doing too much?   FURTHER LISTENING: Find our playlist full of episodes about investing in the share market here.  WANT HELP WITH YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY?: At Guidance Financial Services, we use an index-at-the-core strategy.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Marko Papic back to the show. Marko is the chief strategist and head of GeoMacro at BCA Research, a global investment research firm.   Marko kicks things off by discussing the "second derivative of AI capex," which signals the beginning of the end of the AI boom. Due to tension in the Middle East potentially starting to ease up, the market is nearing the peak of the "Wall of Worry," and as a result, investors could lose a component that helps fuel the current rally. Additionally, Marko says that AI is inflationary. It takes labor, copper, and electricity to construct and run a data center, and with oil prices not likely to return to the levels they were at before the conflict at the Strait of Hormuz, that will just compound the inflation. Marko details what you can expect from the "endgame" of the Hormuz blockade. (0:00)   Next, Marko delves into oil prices and demand. He says that the conflict is starting to give several impressions to other countries after this passes. The first is that the U.S. creates demand when it has a desire to obtain resources and seeks them out. Countries will then start hoarding them as a means of securing them. The second impression the conflict shows is that our allies might not be able to rely on us in a prolonged conflict. Marko says that the raid in Venezuela earlier this year and the Strait of Hormuz situation were both supposed to be short-term incidents. The U.S. did not intend for the blockade to last as long as it has. So in the event of a drawn-out conflict, our allies might have second thoughts about asking for aid. However, even if we are shut out, Marko says America is integrated into the global infrastructure. (18:24)   Finally, Marko sums up the three main reasons why an "inflationary brew" is developing for data centers. The first is that Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh might not be as dovish as hoped prior to entering the role. And it doesn't seem like President Donald Trump will do much to deter him from raising interest rates. That will make building data centers more expensive. The second is that the major AI IPOs are creating a massive supply with little liquidity. With many individual investors primarily having exposure to the S&P 500 Index, they'll be gaining exposure with their 401(k)s but won't be actively buying or selling them, resulting in stagnancy. And lastly, AI capex is slowing down since it's not feasible to build as many data centers as these companies desire. (36:06)

JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo: het cijferseizoen begint met vuurwerk. De Amerikaanse grootbanken verpletteren de verwachtingen. JP Morgan noteert zelfs met 21 miljard dollar de hoogste winst ooit voor de bank. Maar toch is één bank niet zo vrolijk. Ondanks een prachtig kwartaal waarschuwt Bank of America voor té enthousiaste beleggers. Waar komt dat recordkwartaal vandaan? En wat moet je nou doen met die waarschuwing? Deze aflevering zoeken we het voor je uit. Verder hebben we het over dé overnamedeal van het afgelopen halfjaar. Die van Warner Brothers Discovery door Paramount Skydance. De deal dreigt alsnog in het water te vallen, nu 12 Amerikaanse staten er bezwaar tegen hebben. Ze starten een rechtszaak omdat ze bang zijn dat klanten, bioscopen én distributeurs benadeeld worden door de overname. Je hoort ook nog over het drama bij tech-ancienne IBM. Daar verdampt een kwart van de waarde na een tegenvallend cijferrapport. En je komt erachter wat het geheim is van de 16-jarige die beter belegt dan jij. Te gast: Mike Mulders van ING Investment Office BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Jul 10th 2026, Apple sued OpenAI alleging theft of confidential information. The court filing claims that two OpenAI employees were stealing and encouraging Apple employees who are pursuing employment at OpenAI to steal Apple trade secrets. These individuals, both non-profit and for-profit entities of OpenAI, as well as IO Products, the company founded by legendary designer Jony Ive, acquired by OpenAI, are named as defendants in the case. In this episode, Christie Theone, Principal at CTG Advisory, and Ex. VP of Qualcomm Policy and Legal comms and I discuss the specifics of Apple's allegations, OpenAI's statement, and likely response, as well as possible next steps. We also delve into how this will affect OpenAI's plan to introduce highly anticipated personal AI devices, who has better leverage, the remedies Apple is requesting, and what some considerations might be for settlement.Index:00:00 - Intro01:43 - Guest intro (Christie Thoene Theone, Principal, CTG Advisory)02:28 - Apple's complaint: Two employees of OpenAI + OpenAI (pro & non-profit) + IO Products (Founded by #JonyIve)04:05 - Apple's attempt to set a narrative - All OpenAI innovations are tainted by the theft of Apple's trade secrets, even what IO Products might be working on05:05 - Although complaints are centered around two employees (only one is a top-level executive), liability will be borne by the company07:56 - Apple's complaints are well structured, presented "as a matter of fact," without inflammatory language, making the case very obvious and appearing to be "open and shut."10:33 - Jony Ive's name never appears in the complaint. Probably out of respect, and not to tarnish his name12:06 - OpenAI's statement is pretty standard PR response14:42 - Next steps - Likely request for an extension to file the reply. The question is whether they just reply to Apple's allegation, or countersue to get some leverage 17:02 - Discovery is going to be interesting, with many trade secrets at play. Details will come out if there are conflicts between the companies. Can it be motivation for settlement?21:05 - As things stand today, OpenAI is at a weaker place, as this case affects its product plans and IPO plans, and time is on Apple's side22:45 - Apple's remedy requests are not very clear, not sure what "enjoining" in this case means. Injunctions are very hard to come by25:15 - OpenAI can keep working on whatever they are doing till there is an order from the judge (e.g. 25:33 - The first target for Apple is to seek an early decision to stop OpenAI from whatever they are working on, and the target for OpenAI is to seek early dismissal of the case. Both are hard to come by29:12 - Closing

There's relief after confirmation the economy, at this stage, is headed in the right direction. The latest BNZ-BusinessNZ Performance of Services Index shows the sector —which accounts for most economic activity— grew in June. Good results in transport and storage offset a contraction in hospitality. BusinessNZ Chief Executive Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking this is an important result. She says businesses are seeing customers starting to part with some of their money, although there is still some fragility when it comes to discretionary retail spend. Rich says that when combined with the good Manufacturing Index results, this adds up to a good outlook for the economy. But she notes things can change dramatically, saying we can't influence what happens in the Strait of Hormuz. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Someone said, oh, you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that… No, I just shaved my hair and lost some pounds.” — Kaya Genç on Trumpism's global fanbase The NATO circus rumbled into the Turkish capital of Ankara this week resembling more of a gun show than an alliance summit. Ringmaster Donald J. Trump promised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the F-35s and lifted the very sanctions that Trump himself had imposed. Erdogan handed out pistols to the assembled leaders — with poor old Keir Starmer (no Winston Churchill) leaving his at the airport. And observing all these clowns from Istanbul was the Turkish novelist and essayist Kaya Genç. As a contributor to the anthology How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, Genç is a keen America watcher. He first set foot in the United States in January 2017, stumbling into New York City's protests against Trump 1.0's Muslim-ban. What seemed temporary — Trump as a bizarre historical aberration — looked to Erdogan-literate Kaya Genç like an operating manual for 21st century populist authoritarianism. Turkey, Genç argues, has spent a century Americanizing itself. First with the 20th century Marshall Plan, the highways, the Hilton hotels, and finally an American-style executive presidency operating on the politics of referendum. Now, he says, the whole world — from Turkey to France and Britain — is living with the consequences of 21st century Americanization. Like a more functional NATO, right-wing populists operate like an international alliance. Erdogan, Trump, Meloni, Le Pen and Farage are like a club in which projecting strength at summits buys impunity at home. And this club has a house style. Turkish right-wing columnists, Genç reports, deploy Michael Corleone on their X banners — exactly David Thomson's warning earlier this week about Hollywood's glorification of on-screen violence. So, in a way, America observers like Kaya Genç got a sneak preview of Trump's America in movies like The Godfather. First as cinema, then as life. From both Turkey and Russia with love. Five Takeaways •       NATO: The Club of the Mighty. The night before the summit, activists were rounded up in Ankara — LGBTQ rights defenders, labor unionists, journalists — as threats to NATO security. In Turkish civil society, Genç explains, NATO doesn't represent the liberal world order; it represents the mighty, and has since the writers of the 1960s. The summit itself was a military passion show: jets overhead, revolvers gifted among the attendees, and a host country whose ruling politicians no longer hide that arms exports — including the drones Ukraine used so effectively — are now the mission of the Turkish economy. •       Trump: A Star Among Right-Wing Voters Everywhere. In India, a chubbier, longer-haired Genç was once told: you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that. The Turkish media savaged Biden but forgives Trump everything — Netanyahu is the villain of the Turkish press, while Trump speaks the language. Not Turkish (though he tried a phrase): the language of the presidential system. The Turkish right's America has always been selective — yes to the death penalty and gun ownership, no to labor rights, free expression, and the trans movement — an instinct as old as the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's advice to copy Germany's industriousness and leave out the decadence. •       Living the Consequences of Americanization. Turkey began its republic in the 1920s on the European model — parliament, proportional voices for an ethnically diverse country. After the Marshall Plan, it re-forged itself on the American one: highways, Hilton hotels, burger joints, and eventually an American-style executive presidency, approved by referendum over the objections of people like Genç. That's why Trump 1.0 read so differently in the two countries: in New York it looked like an exception to be fought off; in Ankara it looked like how American politics works — and something to imitate. •       Populists Learn Like Large Language Models. Did Erdogan create the model, or is Trump teaching Erdogan? Neither, says Genç: it's a dialogue — right-wing populism learning from itself the way AI learns from language models. The AKP ran a Gramscian culture war through the institutions; Meloni, Le Pen, and Farage apply the cosmetic soft brush that makes fascist-rooted politics presentable. Join the club, project strength at the summit, and whatever you do domestically stops mattering. Putin, notably, is not in the curriculum: Turkey is returning its S-400s to get the F-35s, and Russia is becoming a footnote. •       The Hologram and the Pushback. Ekrem Imamoglu — the Istanbul mayor Genç profiles in The Dial as the hologram candidate — won the city with socialist municipalism, and the skeptics who warned it would alienate the pious were simply wrong. Soft liberalism, the faith Genç himself held since the nineties, is disappearing; the pushback is finding its heroes in dead poets — Rosa Luxemburg, and Sevgi Soysal, whose novel Walking is out in English from New York Review Books. From Istanbul to Middle America, Mamdani to AOC, Genç's advice to the left is the same: don't fragment — conquer the big parties. About the Guest Kaya Genç is a novelist and essayist from Istanbul. He is the author of Under the Shadow: Rage and Revolution in Modern Turkey and The Lion and the Nightingale, and his writing appears in The Dial, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Index on Censorship, and Jewish Quarterly. He is a contributor to How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump (The New Press, June 2026), edited by The Dial's Madeleine Schwartz. References: •       How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, edited by Madeleine Schwartz (The New Press, June 2026).

In recent posts on Trump and dictatorship, people have asked me - how do you know you're not suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome? I take this seriously; we've all lost loved ones to this condition. The best check on my reasoning would be an objective measure of the health of American democracy. There are several "democracy indices" that purport to do this, but they have a mixed reputation. My impression is that most current accusations of bias are relatively weak - I agree with Claude's analysis here - but they rely enough on "expert" opinion that I don't expect them to convince a skeptic. The newest entrant in this space - Metaculus Democracy Threat Index - works differently, and deserves a closer look. Metaculus is a prediction site - like a prediction market, except that no money changes hands. People can record their guesses for how future events will turn out, which get aggregated by an algorithm (currently just a recency-weighted median, although they've done fanicer things in the past). Their Democracy Threat Index is a collection of 153 questions relevant to US democracy. For example: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-metaculus-threat-to-democracy

(Bad goalie move last night) IRAN - Looks like war is back on - at least for tonight - Oil rises about 3% on the news - US revokes Iran's ability to sell oil around the world - Markets don't seem overly concerned - VIX still low at 16 - Odds that this will be more than a quick in and out? --- Could it be that Iran was waiting until after the Funeral? JOBS COOL, FED STILL HOT - June payrolls came in at +57,000, well under the +110,000 estimate. - April and May were revised down by a combined 74,000 jobs. - Unemployment slipped to 4.2%, but not for the best reason: the labor force shrank by 720,000 people. - Labor-force participation fell to 61.5%, the lowest in more than five years. - Leisure and hospitality lost 61,000 jobs, a notable hit to the consumer-service economy. - Average hourly earnings rose $0.13 in June. - Fed setup: weaker hiring argues for patience, but inflation is still above target, so the market is back to parsing every Fed sentence. - - Fed Funds Futures Now only ONE Raise by Year-End DOW RECORD, NASDAQ WOBBLE - The Dow closed at a record 52,900.07 after the soft jobs report cooled near-term rate-hike fear. - S&P 500 finished roughly flat. - Nasdaq fell about 0.8% as chip stocks dragged the tape lower. - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped more than 5% on July 2. - Apple rose nearly 5% on iPhone launch optimism. - Nvidia and other AI/chip names stayed volatile after a huge first-half run. - Goldman client data showed hedge funds dumped tech hardware and semiconductor exposure for a fourth straight week. - The issue is not "AI is dead"; the issue is when all the AI capex turns into visible returns. TESLA BEATS DELIVERIES, STOCK STILL GETS HIT - Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2, a record quarter and above Wall Street expectations. - Production was 451,758 vehicles. - Model 3/Y made up 467,762 deliveries. - Other models were only 12,364. - Energy storage deployments were 13.5 GWh. - Shares fell about 7.5% after the report, the worst one-day drop in roughly a year. - Pressure points: margin worries, price cuts, demand sustainability, and the market questioning whether the EV story is enough at a very rich valuation. - As of Monday afternoon, TSLA was around $420 with a market cap near $1.49 trillion and a trailing P/E around 385. MORE MUSK - TESLA PUTS AI ON A BUDGET - Tesla reportedly capped employee spending on third-party AI tools at $200 per week starting July 6. - Grok was reportedly exempt from the cap. - Setup: Tesla wants employees using AI, but not running up unlimited outside-token bills. - Cost-control angle: AI is becoming a normal operating expense, not a science project. - Funny part: even at Tesla, the AI bill apparently needs a limiter. NVIDIA SERVER DELAY NOISE - Nvidia shares held up despite reports of delays tied to its next AI server architecture. - SemiAnalysis reportedly said Nvidia's Kyber architecture could slip by up to 12 months into 2028. - Nvidia pushed back and said its development roadmap is unchanged. - Mizuho called the delay report "noise" and said it was not a material issue for the stock. - NOTE:  Story is still report-driven, not company-confirmed. ORACLE - CANARY? - Oracle's stock fell 19% this week, the steepest drop since August 2001, the depths of the dot-com bust. - The company's capital expenditures surged 162% in the latest fiscal year, with almost $24 billion in negative free cash flow and $130 billion in debt. - Co-founder Larry Ellison has fallen behind the Google co-founders, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell on the list of the world's richest people. - After the company reached a peak market cap of $900 billion in September, on enthusiasm about Oracle's AI customers, the stock has lost about 55% of its value. - The crux of the problem is that for Oracle to fulfill its AI infrastructure commitment, primarily to OpenAI, it's having to raise record amounts of debt, creating balance sheet risk while focusing on lower-margin offerings. SPACEX ENTERS THE INDEX MACHINE - SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday after its recent IPO. - The company's valuation is around $2.1 trillion. - Its Nasdaq-100 weight will initially be under 1% because of limited public float. - Index-tracking funds tied to the Nasdaq-100 will need exposure, creating automatic demand. - Key issue: big valuation, small float, forced index buying. - Watch the lockup calendar: index inclusion can create near-term demand, but employee and insider selling later can change the supply picture. - Podcast angle: retail gets "SpaceX exposure" through QQQ, but not necessarily much exposure at first. STRATEGY SELLS BITCOIN TO PAY THE BILLS - Strategy sold 3,588 bitcoin last week for about $216 million. - Proceeds are being used for preferred-stock dividends and dollar reserves. - The company still holds 843,775 bitcoin, valued around $52 billion. - Q2 included an $8.32 billion paper loss tied to bitcoin weakness. - The company's average bitcoin purchase price is around $75,476. - Recent sale prices were around $59,000 to $61,000. - Funny part: the former "never sell" bitcoin treasury poster child is now selling bitcoin to service the capital structure. - Watch for copycats: any company that copied the bitcoin-treasury model may face the same liquidity math if crypto stays weak. MICROSOFT CUTS AGAIN - Microsoft said it will cut about 4,800 jobs. - Shares slipped nearly 1%. - Job cuts landed while investors are still rewarding AI spending. - The message? spend heavy on AI, cut elsewhere. --- Yes, AI is killing jobs... SERVICES HOLD AT 54 - ISM non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.0. - Result matched expectations. - Reading above 50 means services activity is still expanding. - Market took it as firm enough for growth, not hot enough to force an immediate Fed move. EARNINGS SEASON STARTER - Delta and PepsiCo report this week. - Levi Strauss also reports this week. - Delta is the read on travel, premium demand, fuel, and consumer resilience. - PepsiCo is the read on snack pricing, volume, and lower-income consumer pressure. - Q2 earnings bar is high after the market's strong second-quarter rally. OIL BACK TO PRE-IRAN WAR LEVELS - Brent settled around $71.99. - WTI settled around $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another output-target increase for August, adding 188,000 barrels per day. - Since April, planned increases add up to nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz are recovering, taking some geopolitical premium out of the market. - Saudi Arabia cut official selling prices, another sign the market is shifting from shortage panic to buyer resistance. - Good for headline inflation if it sticks; bad for energy bulls who were pricing war-premium oil. SPR DRAWDOWN - U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.2 million barrels. - SPR level is now 319.5 million barrels. - That is the lowest level since April 1983. - Drawdown comes while oil prices are easing and OPEC+ is adding supply. - Energy setup: lower crude helps inflation, but reserve levels are historically thin. MORE OIL - CHINA BUYS THE DIP - China stepped up Middle East oil purchases as prices fell. - Saudi Arabia cut export prices to Asia to a six-year low. - Brent settled at $71.99. - WTI settled at $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another August production increase of 188,000 barrels per day. - Planned OPEC+ supply increases since April now total nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Lower oil supports disinflation but raises questions about global demand.

CHINA NOT MESSING AROUND - A Chinese court handed a rare death sentence to a former official on corruption charges, in a severe punishment underscoring the intensity of President Xi Jinping's anti-graft crackdown. - Yang Youlin, a former vice director of an economic zone in the eastern city of Nanjing, was sentenced to death on Monday for taking more than 2.21 billion yuan ($325 million) of bribes between 2013 and 2023, according to the state broadcaster China Central Television. - Yang was found guilty also of embezzlement, abuse of power and money laundering. His crimes were “exceptionally grave” and caused massive losses, warranting the capital sentence, CCTV reported, citing the Changzhou Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu province. DRONES - Dronemaker AeroVironment reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company's funded backlog of $1.2 billion was up substantially over last year, but grew only slightly from the $1.1 billion last quarter. - Autonomous systems were a strong point with revenue of $492 million that beat the $402 million StreetAccount expectation.   Love the Show?
