Is investing in Google's century bond a good idea? If you don't want to read any further, and just want the basic answer, for investors it's a terrible idea. On the other hand, for companies, universities or even governments, issuing a century bond is a great way to lock in low rates for a hundred years. As I said for investors, it's a terrible idea, here is an example. In 2020, the Austrian government issued a century bond that locked in a yield of 0.85%, which was a great deal for them. But for investors who purchased that bond, it is now trading for 30 cents on the euro. Another example of how things can change is back in 1997, J.C. Penney issued a 100-year bond. Back then no one would have imagined bankruptcy would occur just a little over 20 years later for the company. You may be wondering who would benefit from buying these bonds? Generally, it would be your insurers or pension funds. They both have long-dated liabilities, so long-term bonds give them comfort, knowing what the future cash flows will be. There will also likely be some hedge funds and high-risk investors that will want to trade the bonds as they will have a high amount of fluctuation based on interest rates. In fixed income investing, there is something called duration, which essentially looks at the number of years it takes to recoup a bond's true cost. The longer the duration, the more price volatility for the bond when it comes to interest rate moves. Ultimately, for the average investor I would say to stay away because predicting which way interest rates are heading can be very difficult game and it could destroy your investment returns.   Big expenses are coming for companies that invest in AI We have talked about this in the past couple years and now after the companies spent roughly $500 billion in 2025 it's estimated they will spend another $3 trillion by the end of the decade. As the companies spend more money on data centers, chips and other items for AI, their depreciation expense will rise each year, which will reduce their income. The big tech companies are kind of sneaky currently with depreciation. Many companies like railroads and other companies report depreciation as a standalone operating expense on their income statement. The reason depreciation is important for investors to understand is that eventually equipment becomes obsolete or worn out and must be replaced. But the big tech companies currently don't have to break out depreciation until 2028 after new rule changes take effect. Currently, they include depreciation in the cost of goods sold or sometimes in research and development or general and administrative expenses. This makes it very difficult for investors and analysts to understand the true numbers. The big tech companies defense is they currently include it in the footnotes. However, companies like Microsoft have as many as 15-20 footnotes, which are generally not seen by investors or analysts. Perhaps the big tech companies will continue to hold onto their lofty valuations for now, but at some point, the real earnings will come through, and the stocks could take a major beating. Don't blame the restaurant or the grocery store for the high price of meat I'm sure you've noticed that if you want to go out and have a good steak, you're probably going to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $45-$50, depending on the restaurant and how big the steak is. There's a big shortage of cattle in the United States and the numbers are staggering. In January, there were only 86.2 million cattle and calves, which is down from a peak of more than 130 million in the mid 1970s. The number of people in the United States far surpasses the number of cattle and supply/demand being what it is, it is pushing the price of cattle to higher levels. The 86.2 million heads of cattle may sound like a lot, but when you look at the numbers it is the smallest herd since 1951 and that's when the population in the United States was 157 million. The population now stands around 344 million people, which is an increase of 119%. All things being equal, there should be around 188 million heads of cattle available. There are three main reasons why the price of meat is high and the number of cattle is low. We used to receive about 5% of our beef supply from Mexico, but a parasitic fly larvae called screwworm has destroyed that supply. Another problem is a lack of rain in Texas, which is the largest producer of our beef supply with 12.5 million cows. If ranchers don't get enough rain, they produce smaller herds because the cost of feed increases. You may be thinking there's a lot of cows in California as you drive up 15 and you are right because California is the fourth largest producing state for cows at 5 million, but 1.7 million of those cows are dairy cows. The third reason is simply being a rancher is hard work, and it is generally passed down from generation to generation. Most kids when they're growing up do not dream about working on a ranch in the hot sun in the dirt all day long. Also, with the price of land some ranchers realize they're better off selling the ranch for a big profit than continuing to work the land. Fortunately, many ranchers love what they do and despite the hard work continue to do it generation after generation. If you know any young kids that like riding horses, maybe they should consider going to work on a ranch and save all that college money?   Financial Planning: Do Commission-Free Annuities Make Annuities More Attractive? One of the primary downsides of annuities has always been the layers of fees that drag on returns, along with upfront commissions that create conflicts of interest in how they're recommended. Commission-free annuities attempt to address these concerns by eliminating the embedded commission and often lowering internal product expenses, which in theory should improve transparency and net performance. However, these products are typically sold by fee-based advisors who charge ongoing advisory fees, meaning that while the conflict of interest may be reduced, the cost savings inside the annuity can be offset by the advisor's separate fee. Even with improved pricing structures, the fundamental challenge remains, annuities generally offer lower expected long-term internal rates of return compared to investing directly in diversified market portfolios. While annuities provide guarantees such as downside protection and lifetime income, those guarantees come at a cost that often outweighs their benefit. In many cases, investors can generate greater long-term growth and higher income from a well-diversified portfolio. The returns may not be technically guaranteed, but it can still be done in a conservative and sustainable way.   Companies Discussed: Mattel, Inc. (MAT), DraftKings Inc. (DKNG), Ferrari N.V.

Wall Street has been raising its earnings estimates for the current quarter and 2023. Why Investors Are Eating Up Restaurant Brands International This summer, few investors were ordering shares of fast food chain operator Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE: QSR). With gasoline prices soaring, fewer road trips meant fewer stops at Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. Toss in a side of increased food and labor costs and the company's earnings suffered. By June 2022, french fries and chicken strips weren't the only things getting dipped as the stock dipped below $50. Since then, Restaurant Brands International has been one of the hottest large-cap names on the NYSE. A better-than-expected third quarter performance and a super-sized leadership announcement have traders bidding the stock back up toward its post-pandemic peak. With a few trading days left, this month's volume is already at its highest level in two and a half years. And with many Americans cutting back on expensive sit-down meals, fast food businesses like Restaurant Brands International may continue to be appealing to consumers and investors alike. How Did Restaurant Brands International Do in Q3? Earlier this month, Restaurant Brands International posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.96 which crushed the consensus estimate of $0.80. The 23% year-over-year improvement marked the company's best profit growth of 2022 and helped alleviate concerns about cost inflation. The result was driven by higher same-store sales at all restaurants except the recently acquired Firehouse Subs. Overall revenue growth of 15% reflected increased demand for takeout, drive-thru and delivery — exactly the kind of multi-channel growth you'd like to see as an investor. Growth was particularly strong at Burger King where the Royal Perks loyalty program attracted eaters with free food and upsizes. Loosened restrictions at the Canadian border also helped boost Burger King and Tim Hortons sales. The two restaurants are often housed under one roof along key travel corridors. Even with higher menu prices, consumers appear to be finding relative value at Burger King, Popeyes and Tim Horton's. And with gas prices elevated and many people working from home these days, fast food deliveries are up significantly this year. What Leadership Change Did Restaurant Brands Announce? On November 16th, Restaurant Brands International announced that J. Patrick Doyle will be the company's new executive chairman. This was perceived as a big deal because Mr. Doyle is the former CEO of Domino's Pizza where he had a solid track rec

The report cites an unnamed U.S. government official. The trial is being funded by the National Institutes of Health Research Institute in Seattle.   And coming up… Are you ready to work at home? And how are your kids coping with the COVID-19 crisis? We’ll put some of your FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS to our medical and science experts >  The big news of the day came from Ottawa where the Prime Minister announced new measures to help curb the spread of COVID-19. Justin Trudeau met the media at a distance because he remains in self-isolation at his official residence. The new measure effectively close Canada’s borders to most foreign travelers.

Meanwhile…some international intrigue over who will get access to a vaccine once it’s developed. Berlin is trying to stop Washington from persuading a German company seeking a coronavirus vaccine to move its research to the U.S. That’s prompted German politicians to insist no country should have a monopoly on any future vaccine. German government sources told Reuters on Sunday that the U.S. administration was looking into how it could gain access to a potential vaccine being developed by a German firm, Curevac. Earlier, German newspaper reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had offered funds to lure Curevac to the United States, and the German government was making counter-offers to tempt it to stay. Responding on Twitter to the report, the U.S. ambassador to Germany said the newspaper story was “wrong.” Welt am Sonntag quoted an unidentified German government source as saying Trump was trying to secure the scientists’ work exclusively, and would do anything to get a vaccine for the United States, “but only for the United States.” German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told a news conference that the government’s coronavirus crisis committee would discuss the Curevac case on Monday. >

Time is of the essence. Keeping this in mind, some situations, time just catches up with up. For example, O.J. Simpson, the man who allegedly did you know what, could be getting out of prison this year. Simpson has been locked up in Nevada since 2008 after he was convicted of 12 charges stemming from a sting operation he orchestrated to retrieve memorabilia that he claimed was stolen from him. In order to be considered for parole, an inmate must have between zero and two points based on 11 factors. Simpson is currently sitting at a favorable zero to two points which makes him a candidate for early release. Simpson turns 70 in July. For this instance, time served well. Barack Obama is ranked 12th Best President of all time C-SPAN gathered a group of historians to rank all of the Presidents. Barak Obama landed just outside of the top 10 which was occupied by Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Harry S. Truman, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Lyndon Baines Johnson with Woodrow Wilson coming in at 11th. The parent company of the Burger King and Tim Horton‘s food chains are in motion to purchase the Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen food chain. Restaurant Brands International Inc. will pay $1.8 billion. The inevitable REALLY happened with this situation, Chris Brown has been ordered to stay clear of ex-GF Karrueche Tran, after she filed legal docs saying he vowed to kill her and he's beaten her up before.
