This week: The redditors have found a fresh batch of meme stocks. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck examine the so called DORK stocks – Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Opendoor (OPEN), Rocket Mortgage (RKT) and Kohl's (KSS) among others – and what this resurgence of meme stocks says about the state of the market. Then, the Trump administration's laissez-faire attitude toward financial regulation has encouraged a return of crypto ventures like Polymarket to the US. The hosts discuss this sea change and whether this lack of oversight will lead to a financial crisis. And finally, CBS says its cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is purely a financial decision despite coinciding with Paramount's settlement with number one Stephen Colbert hater Donald Trump. Was the decision all political, all financial, or all of the above? In the Slate Plus episode: The Summer Reads Edition Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?

Send us a textIn this week's episode of The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen break down the latest wave of meme stock mania and what it reveals about market sentiment. They dive into Opendoor and other “DORK” stocks (Krispy Kreme, Opendoor, Kohl's, etc.), explaining how short squeezes and retail investor hype have driven massive price swings despite weak fundamentals. The conversation also unpacks the housing market's current dynamics—record-high home prices, the impact of higher mortgage rates, and why real estate inventory levels are starting to shift.The hosts then turn their attention to policy, analyzing Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposal to remove the capital gains tax cap on primary residences. They explore whether this change would meaningfully improve housing affordability or simply benefit older, wealthier homeowners, and why the real barrier for many sellers is “mortgage rate lock-in.” Kristen and Jen also discuss how inventory, pricing trends, and affordability challenges are shaping the broader market outlook.Finally, they examine how AI is creeping into investment banking with OpenAI's new “agentic mode” designed to automate financial modeling. Kristen and Jen share their hands-on experience testing the tool, explaining where it can help and where it falls short. They discuss the risks of over-reliance on AI, the importance of building skills manually, and what the rise of these tools might mean for the future of knowledge work.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Our Investment Banking and Private Equity Foundations course is LIVEnow with our M&A course included!

WikiLixi Podcast - Intercettazioni su finanza e investimenti
In questo podcast Lorenzo Brigatti e Lorenzo Volpi hanno parlato delle notizie più interessanti della settimana. In particolare…La nuova generazione di meme stocks: Go Pro, Kohl e Opendoor TechnologiesPerché il prezzo di Bitcoin continua a salire? Forse è solo la banale legge della domanda/offertaLa trimestrale di Netflix e le nubi all'orizzonte del gigante dello streaming. C'è un “nuovo” rivale pronto a spodestarlo?
It's time for Random Friday… that's when Rich pulls out his notepad and talks about all the little bits and pieces of things that don't really warrant an entire podcast episode, but are still worth talking about. Today Rich talks about Amazon accepting returns at Kohl's stores, getting aggressive with lead generation, two similar roofing companies that have totally different identities, a client who's quitting, and blog posts to help clients understand why your prices are higher.
In mien Kopp dreiht sick jümmers veele Froogen üm de Sprook. Ick mutt mi je alleent doröver wunnern, dat wi uns överhaupt op all de Wöörd eenigt hebbt, de dat in all de Sprooken gifft. De Mischen vertörnt sick je sünst ook so gern. „Schoop“ to'n Bispeel. Worüm hett man sick dorop eenigt, dat Schoop op Platt Schoop heeten doht. Dor harrn doch ook twee tosom vör 'n Schoop stohn kunnt, un de een‘ seggt: „Kiek mol dat dor, dat mutt Brotpann heeten.“ Denn de annere: „Nä, Du tüünst je. Rüttelpladde mutt dat heeten.“ Un bums weer de Larm dor. Na jo, jedenfalls hebbt sick unse Vörföhrn irgendwann op all de Wöörd eenigt, de wi nu kinnt. Dat mutt echt lang duuert hebben. Un denn gifft dat je ook so veele Sprooken. Veel mehr as dat Länners op de Welt gifft. Annerletzt heff ick twee Chinesen bi't klöön‘ toheuert, un ick heff ganz genau gor nix verstohn. Ick harr ni mol ansatzwies roden kunnt, över wat de an rappeln weern. Dösig, ne. Nehmt wi eenfach mol 'n finnisched Woord: „Hapankaali“. No wat heuert sick dat för Ju an? So'n beten Bayerisch veellicht? „I hob an Kaali“ för „ick heff 'n Kaali“. Un wat is so'n Kaali? Veellicht is dat de Spitznoom vun een‘ de Karl heet oder so. Nä, alls falsch. „Hapan“ heet suuer un „kaali“ heet Kohl. Hapankali is also de finnische Utdruck för dat, woto wi Suuerkruut seggt. Un dat mit all de Sprooken kann je ook to Missverstännisse föhrn. „Ne“ to'n Bispeel bedüüd op Platt „nä“, op Griechisch „jo“ un op Türkisch „wat“. Un nu stellt sick mol vör, dat in Kuden meern in de Nacht Lüüd vun 'n annern Planet lannen doht. Un denn kümmt 'n Kudener mit de Slopmütz an sien Huusdöör, begriept, wat dor los is un seggt ganz hartli: „Moin!“ Tscha, veellicht heet „Moin“ op de Sprook vun de Fremmen je: „Kleih di doch sülms an Mors un seh blots to, dat du Land gewinnst.“ Un, zack, weer de erste interstellare Stried ni mehr wiet wech. Wat schall man dorto seggen. Veellicht wurr 'n beten Geduld hölpen. De Geduld, to verstohn, wat de annern würkli meent. Mi dücht, dat wurr uns, ook ohne Lüüd vun anner Planeten, 'n Barg Arger inspoorn… In düssen Sinn
Episode 632: Neal and Toby recap the meme stock redux that sent shares of Opendoor and Kohl's soaring. Then, an earnings roundup from Coca-cola, GM, and Lockheed Martin.

Lockheed Martin 's quarterly profit was hit by more than $1.7 billion in charges last quarter. And, General Motors saw net income shrink 35% last quarter, as tariffs weighed.

David Faber rejoined Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer at Post 9 at the NYSE for today's show to help breakdown another busy day of earnings. One of the biggest movers included General Motors, which moved lower despite topping earnings estimates. CEO Mary Barra said in a letter to shareholders that the automaker is working to ‘greatly reduce' its tariff exposure. The desk also watched shares of Kohl's spike at the open, with the stock jumping as much as 100% in early trading. Also in the hour; Faber broke down all the potential M&A news swirling around the railroad sector. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

Tech names underperformed last night but there was ultimately little change across the broader market. Tariffs continued to gain attention with the US and Philippines coming to a tariff agreement and General Motors seeing a hefty decline, and earnings data has investors on tenterhooks with Alphabet and Tesla set to be examined closely. Lockheed Martin made headlines following their earnings data, as did D.R. Horton, and Kohl’s more than doubled their share price.

Heute hört ihr die erste Live-Aufzeichnung, die im Mai beim Poddifest in Köln entstanden ist. Beim Kaffee gibt es einiges zu besprechen: Hanna berichtet von ihrem neuen Job bei DAS!, den ersten Eindrücken vom Dreh – und natürlich vom mexikanischen Essen in Köln, das für Zora und sie auf dem Plan stand. Die Lengua bleibt bis heute in Erinnerung. Im Service nehmen sich die beiden nochmal Hannas Hochzeit vor. Was gab's zu essen? Zora und Hanna gehen das Menü durch und erzählen von ihren Highlights. Während Zora einer schwangeren Frau dringend den Fisch empfohlen hat, musste Hanna vor Freude weinen. Das heutige Dreierlei ist live entstanden: Das Publikum hat Begriffe auf Zettel geschrieben und Hanna und Zora reagieren spontan. Es geht um Froschschenkel, Blutwurst, veganen Käse und Kohl. Zum Abschluss gibt's ein Feierabendsekt von Van Nahmen – oder in diesem Fall gleich zwei – und Zora und Hanna sprechen über Zoras bevorstehende Babypause. Wie geht's weiter mit dem Podcast? Außerdem präsentieren sie das neue Intro von Doppelrahmstufe und werfen Kamelle!

Notas del Show: En este episodio cubrimos los eventos más relevantes antes de la apertura del mercado: • Wall Street retrocede tras amenaza arancelaria: Futuros en rojo: $SPX −0.5 %, $US100 −0.6 %, $INDU −0.3 %. Trump propuso un nuevo arancel del 10 % desde el 1 de agosto a países que respalden a BRICS y pidió al Congreso prorrogar tarifas. También rechazó el plan de Elon Musk de fundar un nuevo partido. El mercado espera avances comerciales esta semana. • Tesla se desploma tras movimiento político de Musk: $TSLA −7 % en premarket. Musk anunció el “America Party”, generando presión política y comercial para Tesla, que acumula una caída del 22 % en 2025. Wedbush advierte que este giro desvía el foco en un momento clave para la compañía. • Amazon desata batalla de descuentos minoristas: $AMZN lanza Prime Day (8–11 julio), estimado en $21B en ventas (+60 % YoY). Walmart responde con “Walmart Deals” (8–13 julio), Target con Circle Week (6–12), Best Buy con “Black Friday in July” y Kohl's con Summer Cyber Deals. La competencia por el consumo se intensifica. • Oracle recorta precios para conquistar el sector federal: $ORCL ofrecerá hasta −75 % en software con licencia y descuentos en cloud para agencias federales. El acuerdo con la GSA busca modernizar TI gubernamental y sigue iniciativas similares de $CRM, $GOOGL, $ADBE y $MSFT. Oracle apunta a +40 % en crecimiento cloud este año fiscal. Una jornada cargada de anuncios políticos, guerra de precios en retail y apuestas por modernizar la nube federal. ¡No te lo pierdas!

On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporters Melissa Daniels and Gabriela Barkho begin with a rundown of this week's news. Kicking things off is an analysis of Unilever's $1.5 billion acquisition of men's personal care brand Dr. Squatch. Next is a look at DTC bedding brand Parachute closing the majority of its stores to refocus on e-commerce and core products. Finally, a roundup of all the sales retailers are launching to compete with Prime Day(s), including deals from Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Kohl's. Then for this week's featured segment (20:58), they get into some of the biggest forces shaping retail this year. There's a number of external factors impacting brands, and so many changing consumer behaviors that have led to a challenging environment, with May spending figures showing a slowdown and declining consumer confidence. Daniels and Barkho get into the trends shaping this environment like the deal-hungry shoppers, boycotts and -- of course -- tariff policy.

Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Natürlich sind die Ereignisse im Iran das erste Thema unseres Programms. Aber unsere Diskussion wird einen besonderen Blickwinkel haben und sich auf die Frage konzentrieren, ob nun nach der Bombardierung der Atomanlagen diplomatische Mittel eingesetzt werden sollten. Wir werden außerdem die Rolle eines weiteren wichtigen politischen Spielers erörtern – Russland. Anschließend diskutieren wir über ein historisches Abkommen zwischen dem Vereinigten Königreich und Spanien über Gibraltar. In unserer Wissenschaftsstory sprechen wir heute über einen Bericht, der sich mit der Umwandlung alter Kohlebergwerke in Solarparks befasst. Und zum Schluss gratulieren wir der Stadt Kopenhagen zum Titel der lebenswertesten Stadt der Welt. Der Rest der heutigen Folge ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Der erste Dialog wird Beispiele für das Grammatikthema der Woche enthalten – The Past Perfect (Plusquamperfekt). Wir werden darüber sprechen, wie die Stasi geheime Fotos benutzt hat, um den „Feind“ zu bekämpfen. Die Redewendung dieser Woche lautet Das macht den Kohl auch nicht fett. Um den Gebrauch dieser Redewendung zu veranschaulichen, werden wir über die verschiedenen Tiergeschichten sprechen, die die Fantasie der Deutschen während des Sommerlochs beflügeln bzw. in der Vergangenheit beflügelt haben. Nach den Angriffen auf iranische Atomanlagen müssen die USA jetzt auf Diplomatie setzen Spanien und das Vereinigte Königreich erzielen Einigung über Gibraltar Neue Studie: Große Perspektiven für die Umwandlung alter Kohlebergwerke in Solarparks Kopenhagen verdrängt Wien als lebenswerteste Stadt der Welt Die Stasi und die Fotos Tiergeschichten im Sommerloch

Broken Britain: 80-Year-Old Bhim Kohl Murdered by Kids, and No Real Justice #BrokenBritain #JusticeForBhim #UKCrime #YouthViolence An 80-year-old man, Bhim Kohl, was brutally murdered in a park by two children — a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. They filmed the attack on their phones. The girl will not face prison. The boy got just 7 years! This isn't just a crime — it's a symbol of what Britain has become: a nation without respect, discipline, or justice. Jon Gaunt dives deep into the horrifying details of Bhim Kohl's murder, the justice system's shocking response, and what this says about the state of our country. #BrokenBritain #JusticeForBhim #UKCrime #YouthViolence Tags: Bhim Kohl, UK murder, teen violence UK, youth crime, Broken Britain, elderly attacked UK, Jon Gaunt, UK social collapse, justice for Bhim, parenting crisis UK, discipline breakdown, British society decline, phone filmed attack UK #BhimKohl #BrokenBritain #UKCrime #YouthViolence #JusticeForBhim #BritishSociety #UKTeens #SocialBreakdown #RespectOurElders #elderlysafety This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt
In this special edition episode, Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis address the unprecedented challenges facing retailers with Steve's "10 Tantalizing Tips for Tumultuous Times." Steve rates current market turbulence at a 9 out of 10, comparing it to COVID-era disruption but noting the added complexity of legal uncertainties around tariff policies.The news segment covers significant retail developments, starting with ongoing tariff turmoil. A U.S. court ruled Trump's tariff policies illegal, creating additional uncertainty for retailers already struggling with implementation. Steve explains how this legal challenge, combined with the administration's failure to secure the promised "90 deals in 90 days," has intensified market turbulence.Earnings season revealed stark contrasts in retail performance. While Abercrombie & Fitch, Costco, and Dick's Sporting Goods posted strong results, Target's struggles were particularly alarming—down nearly 4% compared to Walmart's 4-5% growth, highlighting a major and continuing performance gap between direct competitors. Department stores including Macy's, Dillards, and Kohl's continued their downward trajectory, with most posting negative comps. The episode also covers Hudson's Bay Company's final closure in Canada, with Canadian Tire acquiring the historic brand's IP for $30 million.The second segment focuses on ten essential tactics for survival and growth. The first foundational tips emphasize radical commitment to reality and transparency, urging retailers to honestly assess their situation and act accordingly. Steve advocates for embracing uncertainty and building agility into operations, followed by maintaining innovation through continuous testing despite budget pressures.Customer-focused strategies include choosing your passionate core of fans (inspired by Seth Godin's work), being human-centered while digitally enabled, and prioritizing storytelling over purely functional benefits. Steve emphasizes that people buy a brand's story before they buy the product.Strategic excellence tips include "editing to amplify"—narrowing customer and offering focus to boost signal amid market noise—and conducting comprehensive friction audits of the customer journey. The hosts stress distinguishing between table stakes (necessary but non-differentiating capabilities) and true differentiators that create competitive advantage.The final tip, "cash is king," proves particularly relevant given tariff impacts on cash flow. Throughout the discussion, the hosts acknowledge that guidance must be tailored to individual circumstances—strategies for Walmart differ significantly from those needed by smaller specialty retailers. The episode serves as both a reality check and practical roadmap for retailers navigating what Steve describes as an era of unprecedented uncertainty, volatility, and competitive pressure where strong players are aggressively pursuing market share opportunities.

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis begin with a news segment covering recent market developments, notably the "tariff turmoil" between the US and China. They discuss how the US has partially de-escalated its stance, with tariffs dropping from a proposed 145% to 30%, creating a 90-day window for retailers to import products. However, they emphasize that smaller retailers remain disproportionately affected due to limited resources compared to giants like Home Depot.The hosts also cover recent retail earnings reports, including Walmart's strong comp store sales growth despite withdrawing Q2 guidance, and their strategic pricing approach to tariff impacts. Other earnings news included On Running's impressive 40% sales growth, while American Eagle, JC Penney, and Burberry reported significant losses. Additional news touched on refinancing challenges at Kohl's, potential bankruptcy concerns at Saks, and Dick's Sporting Goods' surprising acquisition of Foot Locker.The featured interview with Stephen Yalof, CEO and President of Tanger, explores his extensive career spanning retail real estate, including roles at New Plan Realty Trust, Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Simon before joining Tanger in 2020 – humorously noting he arrived when "every one of their 3,000 stores was closed" due to COVID.Yalof provides a fascinating historical perspective on outlet centers, explaining how they evolved from manufacturers' sales of returned items and factory seconds to a strategic retail channel. He details how the Tanger family themselves were shirt manufacturers who realized they were "selling more stuff out the back door than out the front door" before creating the first outlet center in Burlington, North Carolina.The conversation explores how vertical retailers like Gap transformed the model, creating consolidation stores for excess inventory before establishing dedicated outlet locations. This evolution progressed from pure excess inventory management to serving aspirational customers who understand brands but can't afford full price – what Yalof describes as bringing customers "into your ecosystem."In response to competition from online and fast-fashion retailers, Yalof explains Tanger's strategy shift from purely "power shopping" to full-service experiences with improved food, entertainment, and amenities. He compares this to how stadiums have evolved despite at-home viewing advances, stating, "We're the general merchandise managers of our shopping centers... it's about picking the right uses, right experiences, the right amenities."The interview concludes with insights into Tanger's digital engagement strategies, including how they leverage customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns and provide stackable discounts through retailer partnerships, guided by their vision of "using customer insight to inform the future of shopping."

The company is also dealing with a civil fraud investigation and has suspended its 2025 financial forecast amid rising medical costs. CEO Andrew Witty resigned unexpectedly this week.Steve will receive a golden hello again consisting of a one-time $60M option award. While the company claims there will be no additional annual equity awards during the first three years of Steve's employment, there are no performance hurdles tied to this award meaning Steve could make a boatload of cash even if the stock market goes up independent of his work as CEO.A Kohl's board member resigned because she was 'continually disappointed' by governance and a lack of transparency MM DRKohl's Director and Compensation Committee Chair Christine Day resigned from the board on May 5, 2025.Kohl's initially claimed: “Ms. Day's decision [to resign] was not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.”Day later sent an email (included in SEC filing) saying:I want to stress my concern that this is an inappropriate way to handle this. All shareholders deserve the same access to the same information. [ . . .] and for us to not respond to ISS is not good governance. In the 8K filing, for my departure, it would not be accurate to say I have no disagreements with the board. Unfortunately I have been continually disappointed with the level of governance process. The 8k needs to reflect this.”In another email she called out Board Chair Michael Bender: “There is no delegation to committees or chairs, Michael “handles” everything, maybe speaks to one person or 2, then “tells” everyone what the decision is. Some people know more than others leading to board members feeling alienated, out of the loop, and worse—developing a culture where real discussions rarely occur.”In a meeting held yesterday (may 14), only 5% of Kohls shareholders said NO to Board Chair Michael Bender while 45% said NO on Pay while average director support was 92% YESJohn Tyson joins Tyson Foods Inc. board, 9 months after criminal charges led him to step down as CFO MM DRDespite being part of the controlling family, The Tyson children will be paid $315,000 annually like all other non-employee directors.FedEx board member David Steiner to lead US Postal ServiceLD since 2009; CEO Waste Management; $15M in sharesGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boulder's landmark lawsuit against Suncor, Exxon can proceed, Colorado Supreme Court rulesMM: NLPC Urges Exxon Mobil Shareholders To Vote Against Election Of CEO Darren Woods For Board On Exxon Mobil's 2025 Proxy Ballot DR MMThey are running a vote no campaign on Darren Woods… for being too woke!
