Accountability has suddenly become selective and the blame war is on. The Comey indictment is already revealing a lot. The veteran guardian of a fragile system. Mining data and crunching numbers. This involves controlling elections. This involves Russian intel and the phone locations of artillery crews. Fancy Bear is code written by Ukrainians at Crowd Strike. John Brennan was the burglar. You financed the Russia hoax. Hacking elections to claim certain software was used. The German servers provided coms. Hunter, his dad, and Obama were all involved. This predates Comey. That whole 911 thing had to be covered up. The FBI awarded contracts involving the DNC server hacks. A cyber security company was at the center of it all. Retroactive code and false cyber evidence. Who's the investigator on this F'g case? Network breeches and valuable data. The RNC was a target too. Who approved the bids? It sounds like a techno-thriller. Full control is usually the only answer. What is Pole Vault 7 again? On paper it makes sense, off paper it makes deals. Thousands of purposeful errors to create illusions. Private partners do all the dirty work. We must all be ready for traitors from within. History proves those are the most dangerous kind.

This bull market is crashing and no one is talking about it! We kick off the fourth quarter by talking about how the government shut down has impacted the market. Precious metals—particularly gold, silver, and mining stocks—continue to surge in a largely overlooked bull market. We also critique flawed data interpretations and talk the dangers of drawing false conclusions and the importance of treating data as correlation, not truth. We urge you to think critically about information in both science and finance.  We discuss... Markets have largely ignored the government shutdown, even moving higher despite it. Gold, silver, and mining stocks are in a powerful bull market that most investors are overlooking. Data shows correlation, not truth, and conclusions must be questioned. Investors should focus on price action and risk management, not the “why” behind moves. Private equity firms are overleveraged, with declining returns and cash flow–negative companies. While some private equity opportunities may exist, most are poor deals for average investors. Examples like JoAnn Fabrics and Red Lobster are cited as once-strong businesses destroyed by debt-heavy private equity ownership. Public backlash is growing as stories emerge of private equity “ruining” local businesses, hospitals, and jobs. The Big Ten Conference is reportedly exploring selling part of its media rights to private equity for short-term funding. Private investors could demand control over athletic or academic decisions, clashing with university missions. A lack of ethical grounding and values fuels these destructive financial practices. Many societal problems stem from short-term greed and moral decay rather than lack of opportunity. They review sector strength, noting broad participation and strong 52-week highs as signs of market health. Market breadth is strong, showing that many stocks—not just the “Magnificent 7”—are participating in gains. A “bull market behavior checklist” shows most indicators remain positive, suggesting momentum continues. Seasonal charts show typical market strength in early and late-year periods, but be cautious against overreliance on averages. They warn investors to be cautious even in strong markets, as low defensive positioning can precede pullbacks. Wealth preservation depends not just on building assets but structuring them to last.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Cathy Fan, Editor-in-Chief of Artnet News China and co-author of The Asia Pivot, Artnet Pro's biweekly newsletter on Asia's art markets. They discuss the rise and recent reckoning of China's private museum boom. Once symbols of cultural ambition and immense wealth, many of these institutions are now struggling to stay relevant amid shifting economic conditions and changing collector priorities. Cathy explains how China's private museum sector developed, why it became such a powerful force in the global art market, and what led to its current challenges. She also explores how this slowdown is reshaping the broader Chinese art ecosystem and what the future may hold for these once-dominant institutions.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! This special crossover episode brings together James and Keith from Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered with Rob and Greg from Industry Relations. The group dives into Compass' planned acquisition of Anywhere, debating what it means for brokerages, portals, and the future of private listings in residential real estate. Key Takeaways Collaboration between Industry Relations and Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered. Compass' acquisition of Anywhere could reshape brokerage structure—if executed successfully. Breakage risk: agent retention is critical to Compass handling its debt load. Debate over Anywhere's role: “king” of brokerages or not? Zillow remains the dominant power. Zillow's potential responses range from lobbying to starting a brokerage/franchise. Private listings could trigger an “arms race,” though consumer tolerance is debated. Rocket's acquisitions (Redfin, Mr. Cooper) highlight end-to-end strategies but raise adoption questions. Large-scale consolidation could increase influence over associations and MLSs.   Links Rob's Article on 5 Things Zillow can do Brian Boero's agent count article   Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website  Greg's Website    Watch us on YouTube   Our Sponsors: Cotality  Notorious VIP The Giant Steps Job Board    Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios

Private equity is circling the legal industry, and Lucian Pera is helping make sense of what that means for MSO law firms and beyond.  Joining Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg, Lucian breaks down how management services organizations (MSOs) and alternative business structures (ABSs) are giving outside investors new ways to participate in the economics of law - without running afoul of ethics rules like ABA Rule 5.4. Lucian makes it clear that these models are tools, not shortcuts. For some firms, an MSO structure may unlock the capital needed for technology, acquisitions, or ambitious growth plans. For others, a traditional loan or internal funding might make more sense. The critical step, he argues, is matching structure to strategy, rather than chasing the latest buzz. As interest from PE firms and family offices surges, the profession faces a choice: see outside money as a threat, or recognize the opportunities it brings to modernize how law firms operate. Lucian leans toward the latter. Just as medicine and accounting were reshaped by investment, he believes law is in the midst of its own slow-motion revolution where the business side of the profession is finally catching up with reality. For lawyers and investors alike, understanding MSOs, ABSs, and the ethics that govern them is a glimpse into where the legal market is headed next.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Lucian Pera 01:04 MSO Law Firms Explained 05:09 Rule 5.4 and Legal Compliance 09:19 Market Trends and Investor Interest 15:45 Which Law Firms Are Using MSOs 18:17 Private Capital: Threat or Opportunity? 25:19 ABS Structures in Law Firms 30:10 ABS vs. MSO: Key Differences 32:10 Future Outlook for Law Firms and PE   Connect with Lucian Pera: Connect with Lucian on LinkedIn Lucian's Website Bio    Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

For over 50 years our company—Nordstrom Inc.—had been a publicly traded entity. Owned by shareholders, traded on Wall Street, and largely evaluated by its stock price. That all changed on May 20, 2025, when we—the family—with more than a little help from our friends, bought it back. What does that actually mean? How does that all work? What are the potential risks, and long-term implications for the future of the business? These are the questions that we're here to answer today in Part 1 of our two-part series all about how Nordstrom went private. From the outside it may seem like this sort of thing happens relatively quickly. An offer is made, the stock gets bought, the company disappears from the market, and that's it! But we can tell you now—having gone through it—the whole process is really a lot more complex than we had initially imagined. So to set the stage and discuss some of the circumstances that placed us on this path, we've invited back to the Nordy Pod Co-CEO, Erik Nordstrom, and Chief Merchandising Officer, Jamie Nordstrom.

‘It's very difficult to be private when you're trying to be the best player in the world'Tim Muffett speaks to tennis icon Bjorn Borg about life at the very top of the sport. Born in 1956 in the Swedish capital, Borg's lifelong association with tennis began when his father won a full-size racket at a local table tennis tournament, which he gave to the young Borg.By the age of 14, he had joined the professional tennis circuit, and just a few years later, had won the Italian Open at 17 and the French Open at just 18. Having risen to international prominence in 1975 when he helped Sweden win its first David Cup, Borg became a household name in the years that followed for his distinctive playing style that helped him win Wimbledon five times in a row.At the peak of his playing career, his on-court rivalry with the American John McEnroe became the stuff of legend, with the pair's 1980 Wimbledon final considered by many to be one of the greatest matches ever played. This was later immortalised in a 2017 movie.After unexpectedly retiring in 1983, Borg struggled with life after tennis, battling alcohol and drug abuse. He subsequently returned to the sport in the early 1990s for a couple of years before hanging up his professional tennis racket for good.In this interview, he discusses his journey to the very top of the sport, the challenges of stepping away, and his recent battle with prostate cancer.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1164: Today we're talking America's EV charging boom just as electric sales cool, previewing Tesla's October tease for a cheaper Model Y, and diving headfirst into Sora 2.Show Notes with links:Just as EV sales start to sputter, America's charging network is finally finding its rhythm. After years of false starts and government delays, billions in private investment and public funding have sparked a nationwide buildout—making it easier than ever to find a fast charger, even if fewer drivers need one.EV sales are projected to drop 25% next quarter after the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit.The number of U.S. fast-charging ports has jumped 80% in two years to more than 60,000.Private companies and retailers like Walmart have poured over $9.5 billion into new charging sites since late 2023.“Charging deserts” are slowly disappearing, but reliability issues and software hiccups still frustrate some EV owners.“The charging industry is really maturing at a time when the rest of the EV industry is in this period of uncertainty,” said Nick Nigro, founder of Atlas Public Policy.Tesla is teasing an October 7 reveal, sparking investor excitement about what could be its long-awaited affordable EV. With slowing sales, an aging lineup, and the loss of federal tax credits, the Elon Musk-led automaker is hoping a lower-cost Model Y can recharge its momentum—and Wall Street's faith.Tesla released a nine-second teaser video on X showing illuminated headlights and the date “10/7.”The new vehicle is expected to be a lower-cost Model Y, roughly 20% cheaper to produce than the refreshed version.Tesla plans to scale production to 250,000 units annually in the U.S. by 2026.Analysts project deliveries could hit 1.85 million vehicles next year, with the new model driving growth.“Tesla has to prove it can stay exciting without the tax credit boost—and this new model may be its best shot,” one analyst said.OpenAI's new app Sora 2 has exploded to the top of the App Store, blurring the line between creation and chaos. Part TikTok, part AI video generator, and part deepfake machine, it's turning anyone with a phone into a filmmaker — and sending media pros into existential meltdown.Sora 2 is being called “ChatGPT for creativity,” letting users star in AI-generated short videos.The app quickly hit #1 in the U.S. App Store and follows Meta's competing “Vibes” AI video feed.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:45 Congrats to Nashville SC on winning the US Open Cup1:49 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with Uber for Business3:04 US Fast Charger Number Grows to 60K6:11 Tesla Teases October 7 Reveal9:22 Sora 2 Climbs To #1 On theJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Retirement confidence is under pressure. While younger generations are entering the workforce with optimism, the latest Read on Retirement report reveals troubling gaps between savers, plan sponsors, and retirees. Only 38% of employers believe their employees are on track, and confidence among retirees has dropped to historic lows.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jamie Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Business, about the findings from a decade of retirement data. Together, they explore what's driving the confidence gap and the bold actions needed to close it.Jamie highlights three calls to action for the retirement industry: expand access to professional management, deliver guaranteed income solutions, and broaden portfolios to include private markets. She also underscores the need for education and re-enrollment so savers fully benefit from these innovations. With retirement confidence at a crossroads, this episode offers both a reality check and a roadmap for plan sponsors, policymakers, and individuals alike.Sources: BlackRock's Read on Retirement Survey, September 2025Key insights include:· Why retirement savers' confidence often outpaces employers' assessment, and what this paradox reveals.· How target date funds and auto-enrollment are making retirement saving easier and more effective.· Why guaranteed income solutions are increasingly vital to ensure retirees don't outlive their savings.· The growing importance of private markets in delivering long-term returns and diversification alongside public markets.· Differences across generations and genders in retirement confidence — and how advice and professional management can help bridge gaps.· How market volatility, student debt, and competing financial priorities continue to challenge long-term savers.Timestamps:00:00 Retirement Confidence at a Crossroads01:59 Key Findings and Confidence Gaps in the latest Read on Retirement Report04:40 Calls to Action for Retirement Preparedness08:39 Generational Differences in Retirement Planning10:35 Gender Gaps in Retirement Confidence12:12 Challenges and Future of Retirement Planning16:50 Personal Reflections and Advice18:36 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out episode 225 on retirement planning where we discuss what new legislation could mean for your retirement account: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mH8LyNQFsYSV0bxEH1NGU?si=ed429467800b4617Check out this playlist on investing for retirement here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fx1iZaBwLclqpswIbjUq

On this week's episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Peter Sack. They dig into why Chicago Atlantic targets underserved private credit niches, especially state-by-state cannabis lending where limited competition can mean first-lien structures at lower leverage with mid-teens to ~20% returns, plus classic lender protections. Peter explains how regulatory moats, disciplined underwriting, and downside focus beat “sexy” equity stories, and how potential legalization would likely trigger refinancings, prepayment fees, and warrant upside rather than harm. They also compare private funds to public options through Chicago Atlantic's BDC and mortgage REIT tickers, LIEN and REFI, and outline what LPs should evaluate in credit managers from lien position to non-accruals and third-party administration.

Unemployment remains relatively low, but the labor market is slowing down. Private payroll company ADP estimates the private sector lost 32,000 jobs last month. Hiring has slowed, and it's taking longer for jobseekers to find work. And where there are people with anxiety and fear, there are scammers to prey on them. The Federal Trade Commission says reports of job scams tripled over the past four years. But first, why the Trump administration is sending memos to universities and what Democrats are demanding to reopen the government.
