Record-topping IPOs in the technology sector do not necessarily mean it is time to radically alter portfolios, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's CIO for emerging markets. "I would be a bit cautious about assuming a mechanical rotation out of existing technology leaders. These companies remain highly cash generative and also central to index construction,” Jacky says. “I think any shift is more likely to be gradual and selective rather than an unexpected and very sudden move.”And while energy prices have remained elevated amid the Iran war, weaker demand from China has kept the price shock in check to some degree. “If Chinese import demand returns meaningfully, whether because inventories need to rebuild or domestic demand stabilises, I think that could tighten the global market again and also create a second round upward move in oil.”Policy decisions from central banks in the US and Japan will be important developments to watch this week, Jacky says. “The key shift in markets may be that the global easing narrative has largely faded, and policy is now moving into a more cautious phase. I think what matters most may be whether the major central banks are all tightening or holding policy at a restrictive level at the same time.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

I have it on good authority that the Congress and President are working to repeal Dodd Frank and the regulations that have been handed down over Lending standards in our country.    It's been throttling our economy for far too many years and was presented under the guise of protecting consumers.     It was one of the biggest moves of greed (shoutout and RIP John McCain).    They're about to open up a new sub-prime boom in order to reignite our housing and economy to allow people to own homes again.    This will allow poeple to get into the right home at the right price.    This is part of the bill that will repeal taxation on tip income.    Offer tax incentives for everyone else.    What I will tell you this time..........   Save your money.    Be prepared.    Options are starting to open up for you.     About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sahra S. Halpern. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to educate small business owners—especially entrepreneurs of color—about equitable access to capital, alternative lending pathways, and how to become “capital ready.” Sahra Halpern, President and CEO of the Business Consortium Fund (BCF), explains how mission‑driven lending fills the gap left by traditional banks and helps small businesses survive, grow, and ultimately graduate into mainstream financing. The conversation also aims to demystify lending, reduce fear around capital, and encourage entrepreneurs to build trusted financial relationships before entering moments of crisis. Core Themes Discussed 1. Why Small Businesses Are Turned Down by Banks Halpern explains that many small businesses are rejected by banks not because they lack potential, but because banks operate under strict underwriting and regulatory requirements. These systems often fail to account for resilience, experience, contracts, and future growth. BCF exists to serve as a bridge—supporting businesses where banks cannot and preparing them to eventually return as qualified borrowers. 2. Capital Curious vs. Capital Ready A key distinction introduced in the interview is the difference between businesses that are “capital curious” and those that are “capital ready.” Many entrepreneurs know they need funding but lack: Financial organization Clear projections Proper documentation A capital strategy BCF provides technical assistance to help businesses prepare for financing instead of setting them up to fail. 3. Mission‑Driven Lending and Community Impact Halpern frames lending as an ecosystem, not a transaction. When small businesses succeed: Business owners gain stability Employees gain jobs Communities grow stronger Large corporations benefit from more diverse and capable supply chains BCF focuses on long‑term economic impact, not short‑term profit. 4. CDFIs vs. SBA Loans The interview draws a clear distinction between Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) like BCF and government entities such as the SBA. Key differences highlighted: SBA programs shift based on political administrations SBA underwriting has tightened in recent years CDFIs are nonprofit, mission‑aligned, and relationship‑driven CDFIs look at the whole entrepreneur, not just credit scores 5. The Danger of Merchant Cash Advance Loans Halpern strongly warns against Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) loans, which are often marketed as fast solutions but carry extremely high interest rates and long‑term consequences. She explains that: MCAs disqualify borrowers from future SBA refinancing They often trap business owners in cycles of expensive debt CDFIs like BCF can help refinance and escape these loans A real‑world case study (The Cut Buddy / Shark Tank entrepreneur) illustrates how BCF helped refinance over $1M in predatory debt and save a growing business. 6. Relationships Matter More Than Transactions Both Halpern and McDonald emphasize the importance of building lender relationships early, not only when cash flow is tight. BCF underwrites the entire business and the entrepreneur, rather than seizing control of a contract or revenue stream, as some factoring companies do. Power comes from having options—and informed decision‑making. Key Takeaways Banking rejection is not the end of the road Small businesses must prepare themselves to be capital ready CDFIs serve as critical bridges between entrepreneurs and traditional banks Fast money often leads to expensive, dangerous debt Merchant cash advances should be avoided whenever possible Mission‑driven lenders look at the whole entrepreneur, not just numbers Strong lender relationships protect businesses during uncertainty Capital should empower growth—not take control of your company Notable Quotes “Just because a bank says no doesn’t mean that’s the end of your road.” “We’re not just looking at your credit score—we’re looking at you as a whole entrepreneur.” “Capital readiness is not about desperation; it’s about preparation.” “If you’re sitting on a merchant cash advance loan right now, you are not stuck.” “Nothing makes me happier than seeing clients realize their dreams and grow into multimillion‑dollar businesses.” “You should talk to multiple lenders—but you should always understand the real cost of the money.” Conclusion Sahra Halpern’s interview serves as a practical roadmap and a cautionary lesson for small business owners navigating today’s uncertain economic landscape. It reinforces that access to capital is about strategy, education, and relationships, not just approval or rejection. The conversation encourages entrepreneurs to reclaim power, avoid predatory financing, and partner with institutions that are committed to their long‑term success and community impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the next financial crisis isn't hiding inside the banking system, but outside of it?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we unpack the explosive growth of private credit and the rise of a $2 trillion shadow banking system that is reshaping corporate finance. Once considered a niche alternative asset class, private credit has become one of the fastest-growing sources of business financing, allowing companies to raise billions of dollars outside traditional banks and public debt markets.We explore how private credit emerged after the 2008 financial crisis, why companies are increasingly choosing direct lenders over banks, and how structures like unitranche loans are changing the way deals get done. Along the way, we examine major transactions, hidden risks, and the growing concerns regulators have about transparency, leverage, and systemic risk.

What really drives lending cycles, and why do they always seem to end the same way? Lance Roberts and RealFin Capital founder, David Zugheri, break down how credit is created, why risk builds beneath the surface, and what happens when underwriting standards begin to loosen. From the origins of the RTC to today's lending environment, we explore the structural forces that shape booms, busts, and the transfer of wealth across the economy. We also dig into the evolution of housing, the growing risks in multi-family real estate, and the unintended consequences of regulation on credit availability. Through the RealFin story and real-world experience in esoteric lending, we highlight what separates success from failure in volatile cycles, how liquidity disappears when it's needed most, and why being battle-tested matters. If you want to understand why there's rarely a "soft landing" in lending—and what that means for investors and business owners—this episode connects the dots. 0:00 - INTRO 2:11 - Building a Business During Business Cycles 5:35 - How We Got the RTC 7:16 - Risk is like Stretching 9:22 - The Beginning of the End 12:15 - The Two-trick Pony: Lower Rates or Loosen Underwriting 13:39 - There's no such thing as a soft landing in lending 14:06 - We loan money into existence 15:13 - Lending, Borrowing, & Redistribution of Wealth 19:54 - Capitalism is Not Broken 21:31 - Dodd Frank Killed the American Spirit 24:13 - The Different Flavors of Lending (Ass National Bank) 26:08 - It has Always Been Expensive to Buy a House 29:00 - When Asset Prices Get Out of Control 30:52 - The Evolution of the Housing Market, Problems in Multi-family Real Estate 32:09 - The RealFin Story - Esoteric Lending 34:33 - Regulation-induced Lending Restrictions 36:51 - The Difference Between Success & Failure in a Business 39:56 - When You Get Yourself in Trouble... 40:58 - The RealFin REIT - We eat our own dog food 44:43 - Being Battle-tested 46:01 - The Liquidity Issue 50:17 - Getting in Touch w RealFin 52:48 - The Most Powerful Force in the World 57:54 - Mistakes We've Made Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

307 - The Invisible Prime Borrower: How Efri Argaman Is Unlocking Homeownership for 42 Million Americans What if the biggest barrier to homeownership in America wasn't money, it was the wrong measuring stick? Right now, an estimated 37 to 42 million people in this country have the income to buy a home, pay their rent on time every single month, and are still being turned away by the traditional lending system simply because their income doesn't come with a W-2. That's not a credit problem. That's a broken system problem. And Efri Argaman, founder and CEO of OwnEZ, built a fintech company to fix it. In this episode, Efri breaks down how OwnEZ developed a non-discriminatory alternative data underwriting engine that looks at what actually matters: rental payment history, cash flow patterns, and financial responsibility, not a FICO score that can be gamed. He introduces the concept of the "invisible prime borrower": the gig worker, the ITIN holder, the self-employed real estate investor with near-zero taxable income who is financially solid but locked out of conventional lending. Efri and his team are converting what he calls chronic renters into homeowners, and along the way, creating a passive investment vehicle for accredited investors that has delivered 8.5 to 9% annual yield, without leverage, and without a single investor loss since inception. If you are a real estate investor looking for a stable, non-correlated addition to your portfolio, a self-employed entrepreneur who has been told no by a traditional lender, or someone who believes the financial system needs to work for more people, this episode was made for you. With Fund Five now open at a $50,000 minimum, the door to investing with OwnEZ is more accessible than ever. Do not miss this one. 5 Powerful Takeaways Your FICO score is a manipulatable number, not a true measure of your ability to pay: OwnEZ's underwriting looks at the real reasons behind a score and uses rental history, cash flow, and financial behavior to identify borrowers who will actually perform, not just those who know how to game revolving credit. The gig economy created a homeownership crisis that almost no one is solving at scale: Gig workers, 1099 earners, and ITIN holders often earn excellent incomes but are systematically excluded from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed loans. OwnEZ was built specifically to close that gap. Owner-occupied lending is the lowest-risk real estate investment most investors are completely ignoring: Borrowers who live in their own homes have a fundamentally different relationship with their mortgage than investors do. They default only as a last resort, making OwnEZ's loan portfolio dramatically more stable than most real estate investment vehicles. A non-leveraged fund structure can survive the market crashes that wipe out leveraged investors: By choosing not to borrow against the fund, OwnEZ has the flexibility to hold, rent, or wait during downturns — the exact strategy that protects capital when leveraged competitors are forced to sell at the worst possible time. Don't confuse being busy with being productive: The most impactful piece of advice Efri received early in his career shapes everything about how he runs his company, protects his team's personal time, and builds a business designed for long-term balance rather than burnout. 00:00 REIGN Podcast Intro 00:52 Wholesaler Red Flags 03:26 Meet Efri Argaman 05:08 What Is Fintech 07:14 Real Estate Lessons Learned 10:08 OwnEZ Borrower Model 12:15 Alternative Data Underwriting 15:00 Invisible Prime Borrowers 17:21 Property Types Financed 18:36 Investor Returns And Risk 24:45 Fund Structure And Accreditation 25:51 Passive Yield Overview 26:55 Fund Five Lower Minimums 27:51 Wealth Preservation Pitch 29:27 Why Own Easy Differs 30:34 Crisis Proofing Without Leverage 33:30 Karma And Tenant Story 36:34 Scaling And Evergreen Fund 38:44 Badass Book And Route 66 40:51 Advice Drive And Goals 44:50 Systems Success And Wrap Up About the Guest Efri Argaman is the founder and CEO of OwnEZ, Inc., a data-driven fintech company headquartered in Austin, Texas, focused on expanding access to homeownership through alternative data lending solutions.

Mostly friendly skies for airlines and premium consumers Summer is starting just as higher income consumers remain flush and global soccer fans are descending on North America. But this also comes at a time when the airline ticket situation is becoming a bit more difficult, at least for consumers. Prices are elevated thanks to higher fuel and recently, a low-cost airline stopped flying. We talk to Andrew Didora about what all of this means for the airlines and the latest on consumer travel behavior. And while airlines are notoriously cyclical, we also discuss other parts of Andrew's coverage where the tailwinds are more structural, including cruise, gyms and golf.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Lower prices are unlocking the next leg of GLP-1 growth Several years ago, the bullish case for GLP-1 penetration hinged on lower pricing and the availability of oral options-both of these have materialized over the past 18 months. Yet we remain early in the oral GLP-1 ramp, and pricing continues to adjust downward, suggesting ample runway for unit growth in these weight-loss therapies. Peter Galbo discusses the impact on food and beverage we've observed at today's ~10% penetration levels and what may lie ahead, especially as Jason Gerberry outlines where penetration could ultimately land and the improvements expected in side-effect profiles. We also examine intensifying competition within the GLP-1 landscape, as well as the packaged food and beverage segments most at risk-or best positioned to benefit-alongside areas where potential upside may be overstated   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.
