Circle (CRCL) has sold off more than 70% since hitting its all-time high in June, just a couple week after its IPO and shares quadrupling from its IPO price. Kevin Lehtiniitty believes the company will improve by expanding into a financial infrastructure platform. Volatility coming out of crypto long-term is another bullish indicator Kevin sees for Circle. Todd Stankiewicz adds that interest rates on a cutting path adds pressure to Circle's short to mid-term profit outlook, though frameworks for stablecoin like the GENIUS Act offer long-term support.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Tony Misura sits down with Chris Beard, Building Products Research Director at John Burns Research and Consulting, for a comprehensive look at what's really happening in housing and building materials markets heading into 2026. Chris breaks down the numbers that matter: why single-family starts are down mid-single digits while multifamily is strengthening, what the "magic" 5.5% mortgage rate means for buyer behavior, and why production builders are willing to pay a $130 premium per thousand board feet for Canadian lumber despite new tariffs. From the "wall of wood" created by preemptive inventory builds to the lock-in effect keeping 72% of homeowners in sub-5% mortgages, this episode cuts through the uncertainty of 2025's policy-driven volatility. Chris shares bullish forecasts through 2034 based on demographic trends, explains why the remodeling market could see major tailwinds from falling HELOC rates, and offers practical advice on building localized market dashboards. Whether you're a dealer, distributor, manufacturer, or builder planning your 2026 strategy, this conversation provides the data-driven insights you need to navigate labor shortages, tariff impacts, and regional market variations. Key Topics: Mortgage rates, Canadian lumber tariffs, household formation trends, multifamily construction, labor inflation, existing home sales, remodeling market opportunities, and regional market forecasting.

Last week, the FOMC voted to lower interest rates by 25bps and showed no certainty that there will be another cut in December. Taylor Huffman explains that a lack of economic data due to the government shutdown plagued the Fed's interest rate path. However, she notes that the uncertainty did create new opportunities in bonds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Nobody seems to know what's going to happen to interest rates - are there more cuts to come? Will they stay at this level? Or is the next move a hike? So if you've got a mortgage, or are looking to get a home loan - should you be considering fixing the interest rate on part of your loan? Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson are joined in the studio by Adam McCabe from Blue Lantern Financial Services to look at whether now is the right time to talk about fixing rates. ---The information in this podcast is general in nature and does not take into account your personal circumstances, financial needs or objectives.

BUY GOLD HERE: https://firstnationalbullion.com/schedule-consult/ Avoid CBDCs and work with Mark Gonzales! HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the breaking news of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates a quarter point despite claims that the economy is doing well. Central banks generally wait until a crisis to lower interest rates in order to help mitigate a financial disaster, however the Fed and the Trump Administration claim that the economy is booming currently. People do not feel that at the grocery store with inflation and statistics clearly don't show it either. 42 million Americans are on SNAP Benefits and this is by design. The state needs an impoverished population in order to bring in bogus "solutions" that lead to further control. It's a prerequisite. 42 million is a massive number and we can thank money printing and massive levels of regulations but that barely scratches the surface. In reality, 42 million is just the number of people who qualified and also doesn't count the millions of impoverished attempting to scrape along in slum like conditions. While the welfare system is meant as an early precursor to the technocratic government control system where you own nothing and you do as you're told, pulling the rug out during the government shutdown can only be an orchestrated attempt at causing an uprising while demoralizing the public. This is the kind of thing the state does before offering a dangerous solution. Countless economists are warning of an imminent crisis. The banks are not properly insured and their cash to deposit ratios are below bankruptcy levels. 63 central banks signed on to Basel 3 which allows banks to bail-in your deposits. Derivative exposures are massive. Meanwhile, a sure sign of a crisis to come is the freight industry which is in a technical recession. While this sounds scary to many (and to be clear you should not be dependent on your money in the bank), there are real world solutions that will insure your wealth. While there is no sure way to entirely avoid the system being built before us nor the collapse of the old system, there sure ways to protect yourself and prepare. Gold and silver are just two examples versus the fiat system. It should be taken seriously. Mark Gonzales breaks much of this down. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Charles Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders believes there's a strong case for the FOMC to pause interest rates in December. A near-record government shutdown and lack of inflation and jobs data are critical factors she sees hampering a data-dependent Fed. Liz Ann later turns to the health of markets and explains the weaknesses she sees ahead. That said, retail investing has shown no signs of slowing down.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Show Open 11.01.25 ✅ Feds drop interest rates again for the second time in 6 weeks…should we celebrate or panic
Trump's efforts to use the Shutdown to put a blindfold around the Fed to deny it key economic data so it would fly blind during today's Interest Rate setting meeting, backfired, as the Fed Chair said that when in a “fog” you “slow down” indicating that Trump screwed up his efforts to get a second rate cut next month by keeping the Government shut down. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street goggles to take a look at today's Federal Open Markets Committee Meeting results and what it says about Trump's failed economy and the suffering of Americans.

Today's discussion hits home for entrepreneurs and small business owners navigating this volatile economy. While large corporations like Microsoft or JPMorgan are setting market highs, small caps remain stuck in correction—mirroring the reality for Main Street. The biggest threat? Monetary policy, not fiscal policy. With interest rates still 125 basis points above equilibrium, small businesses—who rely on bank lending, not Wall Street debt—are being crushed by rising borrowing costs. Until the Fed loosens, many are fighting for survival, managing shrinking cash flows, and tightening credit. The question now: can they hold on long enough for rates to finally drop? Key Takeaways: High rates are killing small businesses. Unlike large firms, small companies can't issue debt—they depend on lenders, and current rates are unsustainable. Fed delay = real pain. Despite inflation cooling, the Fed's slow action threatens to starve small businesses before relief arrives. Recession resilience matters. With growth slowing and credit tightening, cash flow management—not expansion—is the key to surviving 2025's economic squeeze.

Liz Ann Sonders and Kathy Jones discuss this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and the latest interest rate cut. They also analyze some of the details of what is driving the Fed's decisions in light of the government shutdown.Next, Kathy Jones is joined by David Beckworth. Kathy and David discuss the complexities of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, the broader implications of monetary policy, and the emerging landscape of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). They discuss the challenges the Fed faces in managing its balance sheet, the potential impact of stablecoins on the financial system, and what these developments mean for investors. David outlines three potential steps the Fed could take to downsize the balance sheet: asset swaps, managing the Treasury General Account (TGA), and improving ceiling facilities.

Some cryptocurrency-related products use futures contracts to attempt to duplicate the performance of an investment in cryptocurrency, which may result in unpredictable pricing, higher transaction costs, and performance that fails to track the price of the reference cryptocurrency as intendedThe comments, views, and opinions expressed in the presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab.

It's Thursday, October 30th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Ugandan beat wife and kids for trusting Christ A Muslim man in Uganda beat his wife and two children last month for putting their faith in Christ. Kulusumu Namulondo had to be hospitalized along with her two children, ages twelve and nine. Her husband proceeded to demolish the building of the church she had visited. Namulondo described the attack to Morning Star News. She said, “My husband hit my son with the walking stick several times, and he soon fell down screaming and wailing in great pain . . . While my son was on the ground, my husband started beating up me and my daughter. Thank God, neighbors arrived, and my husband fled away.” In Luke 18:29-30, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” Help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica on Tuesday as a Category 5 storm. Melissa weakened to Category 3 before making landfall in Cuba yesterday. The hurricane is one of the strongest ones on record in the Atlantic, killing dozens of people across the Caribbean. Christian charity organizations are mobilizing aid for victims of the hurricane. Samaritan's Purse announced it is “already preparing to respond as needed — with disaster relief specialists, materials, and aircraft all on standby.” You can give towards their relief effort through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com. Trump, Cruz and Johnson urge centrist Democrats to re-open gov't The Democrats in the U.S. Senate have now shut the U.S. government for 30 days, as they attempt to undo the provisions of President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill which ensured that only U.S. citizens would get taxpayer-funded health care. President Trump didn't pull any punches. TRUMP: “Today, I'm calling on every Senate Democrat to stop the madness, to let our country get back. In the greatest moment in the history of our country, in terms of wealth, in terms of job creation, and in terms of investment coming in, these guys go on strike. It's really a shame! “So, I'm asking them to be smart. It's not working. They're getting killed in the polls. The public understands what they're doing. They're doing the wrong thing.” Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas explained that the Democrats have failed to stop the government shutdown. CRUZ: “Thirteen times now the Republicans have voted to open the government to pay the federal workers 13 times. The Democrats' party line have voted no, keep it shut down. Keep it shut down. Keep it shut down. “And at this point it's not even clear they have an exit ramp. I think they're going to continue this another week or two, and then at some point, seven or eight Democrats are going to have some sense come into them. I think it is very likely to be retiring Democrats who will never again face a primary election. So, they're more insulated from the crazy left wing base. “But we are watching performative art. We're not watching public policy. We're not watching elected officials. This is all about political saving Chuck Schumer's rear end.” And House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, described Senator Chuck Schumer as irredeemable. JOHNSON: “We have very important work to do here, and that's why we're pleading with them. Look, I think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are irredeemable at this point. I don't think they'll be able to tell [New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran] Mondami, [a socialist], in New York and his disciples that they voted to open the government. “I've given up on the leadership. So, we're trying to appeal to a handful of moderates or centrists who care more about the American people and will put the people's interest over their own and do the right thing in the Senate. There's no point in me sitting down with Chuck Schumer. He's painted himself into a corner.” The Congressional Budget office said that the economy could lose $14 billion over two months unless the government is reopened. If you have a Democrat U.S. Senator, call 202-224-3121 and urge him or her to re-open the government immediately. Half of U.S. states scored poorly on religious liberty The Napa Legal Institute released its 2025 Faith and Freedom Index on Monday. The report ranks states in the U.S. from 0-100 based on how well they treat faith-based nonprofits. The states with the highest rankings on the index are Alabama (72%), Kansas (69%), Indiana (68%), Texas (65%), and Mississippi (63%). The states with the lowest rankings are Michigan (31%), Washington (35%), Massachusetts (37%), Maryland (38%), and Illinois (38%). Sadly, over half of the states scored below 50% on the religious liberty index. Nvidia now valued at $5 trillion Nvidia became the first company yesterday to reach a market value of $5 trillion. The tech company started with video game processors. Now it is a major producer of computer chips for the artificial intelligence industry. The record valuation follows growth announcements from the company, including plans to build seven supercomputers for the U.S. government. Apple and Microsoft, two other tech companies, are not far behind with market valuations of around $4 trillion. America's debt has surpassed $38 trillion The U.S. government's gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion last Wednesday. That's up a trillion dollars from just August of this year. The U.S. government debt as a percentage of gross domestic product stood at 120% last year, according to the International Monetary Fund. That's one of the highest debt-to-GDP ratios in the world. Only Japan, Venezuela, Greece, and Italy are higher. (Look at the U.S. Debt clock.) Federal Reserve cut interest rate by quarter percent The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-point for the second time this year. This brings the rate to a range between 3.75% and 4%. That's the lowest it's been in three years. The Fed's announcement noted, “Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace. Job gains have slowed this year, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remained low. …Inflation has moved up since earlier in the year and remains somewhat elevated.” Museum of the Bible displaying oldest copies of Jonah and 1 Peter And finally, CBN News reports the Museum of the Bible is displaying the oldest-known complete copies of Jonah and 1 Peter. The pages come from the Crosby–Schøyen Codex which dates back 1,800 years. The text is written in the ancient Coptic language. It's the first time the pages from the codex have been available to the public since 1988. Dr. Bobby Duke is the Chief Curatorial Officer at the Museum of the Bible. Listen to comments he made to CBN News. DUKE: “This dates back to about 250 A.D. That's incredible to think that we have something that's 1,800 years old. A community said, ‘Let's put these items together so that if it were read it will inspire this generation of Christians that lived in that part of Egypt.” 1 Peter 1:24-25 says, “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Is real estate dead? Or are we just in the hangover phase after cheap money? In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Lou sit down with August Biniaz (founder & CIO of CPI Capital) to rip the lid off today's real estate climate. We go deep on how interest rates broke the model, how Canadian mortgages force you to "rematch" every five years, and why "build-to-rent" is catching heat. The real bombs drop when we talk operator risk, investor communication, and where the real opportunities still lie in the U.S.
