In our latest In Basin Observations podcast, DEP hosts Bill Austin and Geoff Jay sit down with John Freeman, Managing Director and Head of Energy Research at Raymond James, to discuss the firm's comprehensive Midland and Delaware Basin deep dive reports. John provides critical insights into inventory life, operator strategy, valuation trends, and evolving productivity across core acreage in the Permian. This episode offers a grounded, data-rich discussion on how capital discipline and resource scarcity are reshaping the competitive landscape in U.S. shale.

In this episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom, we dive into the implications of the newly passed federal tax bill—also known asl the “big, beautiful bill.” While the name might suggest sweeping changes, the truth is more about maintaining the status quo and preventing an expiration of key provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We break down what that means for retirees, investors, and anyone planning their financial future.We start with the basics. Alex explains that the bill keeps existing tax brackets intact through 2025. The seven current brackets—ranging from 10% to 37%—remain unchanged and will continue to adjust with inflation. This alone helps prevent tax hikes for most Americans. Next, we look at the standard deduction. It's staying high: $15,750 for individuals and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly in 2025. For seniors aged 65 and older, there's an added bonus—an additional $6,000 per person. That means some retired couples could deduct up to $43,500, significantly lowering their taxable income. However, this senior deduction phases out at incomes over $150,000 and disappears entirely at $250,000.Another highlight is a small but impactful update to tip and overtime tax treatment. Up to $2,500 in tips and $5,000 in overtime income will now be tax-exempt, a win for part-time workers and younger family members in service jobs. We also see an increase in the SALT (state and local tax) deduction cap—from $10,000 to $40,000—which could encourage some high earners in states like New York and California to start itemizing again.Ed takes over to unpack how this affects investments. Capital gains tax rates remain unchanged, with the familiar 0%, 15%, and 20% tiers, adjusted for inflation. The 3.8% net investment income tax—sometimes dubbed the Obamacare surcharge—still applies to higher-income earners. Importantly, the step-up in basis on inherited assets is untouched, preserving one of the most efficient methods of wealth transfer.The bill also maintains the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) option, allowing those over 70½ to donate up to $100,000 directly from IRAs without increasing taxable income. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) still begin at age 73. We round out with a reminder on smart asset location—keeping tax-inefficient investments in tax-deferred accounts and long-term strategies in taxable accounts.While the bill doesn't overhaul the tax code, it preserves favorable conditions for most Americans, especially retirees and investors. Our advice remains: understand how these provisions impact your specific situation and reach out to a financial professional for personalized planning.

Enterprise data management is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The traditional data stack built on rigid pipelines, static workflows, and human-led interventions is reaching its breaking point. As data volume, velocity, and variety continue to explode, a new approach is taking shape: agentic data management.In this episode of Tech Transformed, EM360Tech's Trisha Pillay sits down with Jay Mishra, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Astera, to explore why agentic systems powered by autonomous AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and semantic search are rapidly being recognised as the next generation of enterprise data architecture.The conversation explores the drivers behind this shift, real-world applications, the impact on data professionals, challenges faced by agentic platforms, and the future of data stacks. Jay emphasises the importance of starting small and measuring ROI to successfully implement agentic solutions.What is Agentic Data Management?At its core, agentic data management is the application of intelligent, autonomous agents that can perceive, decide, and act across complex data environments. Unlike traditional automation, which follows predefined scripts, agentic AI is adaptive and self-directed. These agents are capable of learning from user behaviour, integrating with different systems, and adjusting to changes in context, all without human prompts.As Jay explains, "An agentic system is one that has the agency to make decisions, solve problems, and orchestrate actions based on real-time data and context, not just on training data.TakeawaysAgentic data management is the next evolutionary step in data architecture.Agents are autonomous and can make decisions on the fly.The demand for agentic solutions is increasing due to data volume and AI strategy needs.Maturity of foundation models enables near-human reasoning capabilities.Real-world applications of agentic AI include insurance claim processing.Data engineers will focus on policy and guardrail creation rather than coding.Governance, debt and hallucinations are significant challenges in agentic platforms.The future of data stacks will include declarative control plans and enhanced memory layers.Analysts will play a crucial role in defining policies for agentic systems.Starting small and demonstrating ROI is key to successful agentic implementation.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Agentic Data Management02:58 Understanding Agentic Data Management06:58 Drivers of Change in Data Management10:03 Real-World Applications of Agentic AI14:15 Impact on Data Engineers and Analysts16:43 Challenges and Limitations of Agentic Data Platforms20:03 Future of Data Stacks23:31 Final Thoughts on Agentic Data ManagementAbout Jay MishraJay Mishra is the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Astera Software, with over two decades of experience in data architecture and data-centric software innovation.

In this mid-year episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom, we reflect on what 2025 has taught us about markets, economic conditions, and investor behavior. We're at the halfway mark of the year, and despite some rough patches, the financial landscape has shown surprising resilience. Alex kicks things off by detailing how the year began with a normal market correction followed by a sharp crash triggered by unexpected tariff announcements. Despite this, the S&P 500 has managed a modest gain of around 2.3% as of mid-June, largely powered by a few large tech and AI companies.Economic growth in the U.S. has remained steady, albeit modest, defying some analysts' recession predictions. Inflation has cooled significantly since its peak in 2022-2023, allowing the Fed to ease interest rates by 75 basis points. However, rate cuts have since paused as the Fed monitors inflation's remaining pressure, particularly in housing and services.We discuss how consumer sentiment is mixed. While spending continues, signs of fatigue are emerging amid ongoing uncertainty around trade policy and the political landscape. International markets, particularly in Europe and emerging regions, have outperformed U.S. stocks slightly this year—marking a shift from the trend of U.S. dominance.Within asset classes, small-cap and value stocks have underperformed, while bonds have been flat to slightly negative. Cash and money markets remain attractive for their yield, but their long-term return potential is limited. Real assets like gold have performed strongly, benefitting from trade-related fears.We emphasize that major institutional investors have responded to market turbulence by rebalancing rather than making drastic shifts—a strategy we support for retail investors too. When volatility hits, buying low through rebalancing beats the temptation to time the market. Chasing hot sectors, like tech and AI, is risky and often leads to poor results.Ed follows up with key takeaways. First, staying invested through volatility has paid off, reinforcing that time in the market beats timing it. Second, diversification remains essential, as relying on a few high-performing stocks can backfire. Finally, mindset is everything. Markets change fast, and the ability to remain disciplined and focused on long-term goals is critical to success. Whether it's Fed policy, geopolitical tensions, or surprise earnings, what matters most is how we respond—not how well we predict.The markets have reinforced what we preach every episode.  Have a plan, and don't give in to emotional or market temptation.

Oil climbed early Monday with investors squarely focused on escalating geopolitical tensions as Israel and Iran continue to bombard each other with no sign of a pause. Brent crude rose as much as 5.5% in early Asian trading after Israel and Iran continued attacks on one another's territories over the weekend. Israel launched an attack on the giant South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf, forcing the shut down of a production platform, after air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and military leadership last week. For more, we speak with Pavel Molchanov, Investment Strategy Analyst at Raymond James & Associates. Plus - S&P 500 futures slipped, while Asian equity-index contracts pointed to declines in Hong Kong and Sydney, and a gain in Tokyo. The dollar saw modest gains against major peers in early trading. With Federal Reserve officials signaling an extended hold on interest rates, investors and economists will look to Chair Jerome Powell this week for clues on what might eventually prompt the central bank to make a move, and when.

In this episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom, we shift focus from the hard numbers and take a deep dive into the psychological side of investing. Specifically, we explore loss aversion—the human tendency to feel the pain of financial loss more intensely than the pleasure of gains. As we've all seen in our work and our own portfolios, emotional reactions to market swings can often lead to irrational decisions. That's where understanding behavioral finance becomes a powerful tool in making smarter financial choices.We start with Ed breaking down the origins of loss aversion, rooted in the research of Kahneman and Tversky. Their work in the 1970s, which led to the development of prospect theory, shows that the average person perceives a $100,000 loss as twice as painful as a $100,000 gain is pleasurable. This cognitive imbalance causes two major pitfalls: people either avoid risk entirely and park money in cash—letting inflation erode value—or they panic-sell during downturns and miss out on rebounds, effectively locking in their losses.Ed walks us through real examples, including the volatility of April 2024, the pandemic crash of 2020, and the 2008 recession. He explains how our amygdala, hardwired to detect threats, doesn't differentiate between a market dip and a life-or-death situation, making our emotional reactions feel justified—even when they're counterproductive.Alex builds on this by offering techniques to manage this psychological bias. First, we need to build a financial plan with a properly diversified portfolio aligned to our specific timeline and goals. He emphasizes reframing our perspective—looking at a portfolio not as a cash balance but as ownership in companies that will likely be around for decades. He shares the analogy of home values: we don't sell our house when its Zestimate dips; likewise, we shouldn't rush to sell stocks when they temporarily fall.Other actionable strategies include pre-committing to actions like rebalancing during downturns, increasing contributions when prices are low, and resisting the urge to act impulsively. He underscores the power of long-term thinking—"expand the graph"—to see that every crash looks like a blip over decades. And finally, he recommends examining past mistakes. Nothing hits home more than seeing the dollars lost from a past panic sale.We close by reaffirming that while we can't guarantee outcomes, we can plan for volatility. The market is emotional in the short term but logical in the long term. With the right mindset and tools, we can better navigate the emotional terrain of investing and avoid letting fear dictate our strategy.Books Mentioned:Thinking Fast and Slow: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds: https://www.amazon.com/Undoing-Project-Friendship-Changed-Minds/dp/0393354776 You can always email Alex and Ed at info@birchrunfinancial.com or give them a call at 484-395-2190.Or visit them on the web at https://www.birchrunfinancial.com/Alex and Ed's Book: Mastering The Money Mind: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Money-Mind-Thinking-Personal/dp/1544530536 Any opinions are those of Ed Lambert Alex Cabot, and Jon Gay and not necessarily those of RJFS or Raymond James.
