Podcasts about shareholders

On this week's episode of the Shareholders the guys discuss current events, the Woke Report with Junior, the stock, and take the Chimney Oaks Golf Club Mailbag From the Middle!

Shareholders put up their future security in the hope of increasing their returns and adding further to their security.  They take risk of losing some or all of their dough.  CEO remuneration is often tied to how well they increase value for shareholders by driving the share price up and paying out regular fat dividends.   Customers buy the product or service, so without them being enthusiastic, the scale of the revenues will fall and so will the share price and dividends.  Without engaged employees, the customer won't be satisfied with the quality of the solution or the service provision.  If you don't care about the company, then you are unlikely to care about the firm's customers.  These interests are not always aligned, so where does the leader need to assign attention? There is no business without a customer and the reason you have customers is because your staff make sure you have repeater customers, rather than single transactions.  CEO attention however is not always focused on the staff.  They can see the staff as a tool for arbitrage in order to get more revenues.  The “pay em low and charge em high” type of mantra.  The USA has confused the world with its up to 300 times ratio between the CEO remuneration and the lowest paid employee.  The fact that many failed leaders of big corporations get hundreds of millions of dollars when they are forced out is also astonishing. I don't see that as a sustainable model for Japan.  As leaders here we need to be focused on recruiting and retaining the best team members we can afford.  Recruiting them will only become more fraught in Japan and retaining them will be ever challenging.  The way to attract people is by having very deep pockets and paying tons of dough to the staff.  If that isn't an option, then we need to build a culture where staff will trade money for the environment.  Getting paid a lot of money to work in a toxic environment isn't sustainable and eventually people crack and look for a better environment to work in. How can we engage our staff so that they don't want to leave and while they are with us, they want to work hard for the enterprise and want to support each other in that process?  Gallup's 2021 survey in the US found that 36% of staff were engaged, 50% were either indifferent or compliant and 14% were disengaged.  Japan is hard to judge with these Western surveys.  Japanese staff are conservative in their estimations because they are always thinking in absolute, rather than relative terms. Also, questions such as, ”would you recommend our company as a place to work for your friends or relatives?”, have a lot of cultural issues in Japan, that we don't have in the West.  This is one of those key “engaged or disengaged” decider questions in these surveys.  Japanese staff don't want to take the responsibility in either direction.  They don't want their friends complaining to them about the company they have now joined.  They also don't want to have the company complaining to them about their friend they have just introduced.  Better to give this question a low score. Overall Japanese surveys are always at the bottom globally but is that really an accurate reflection of the workforce? What do staff want?  Here is what we found from our surveys looking at the emotional drivers of engagement.  Number One was they want the leaders to have a sincere interest in the employee's well being. The key word  here is “sincere”.  This means taking a holistic view of the employee and not seeing them as an arbitrage opportunity or a tool to spoon up more revenues.  Another key phrase is “well being”.  In this modern age employees are taking responsibility for their kids, but also for their parents, as the latter age.  That means they need a supportive work environment that puts health and family health above company health.  Sounds sensible, but is that the case down at your shop?  As the leader, is that how you are talking and making decisions?  Is this an approach that is sustained right throughout the enterprise from top to bottom?  Are all the leaders walking the talk, starting with you?  There is much more required beyond mere words and slogans to make these approaches the daily reality.  Coaching and communication skills for leaders will rank at the top to encourage staff to believe what the company is saying.  How would you rank these two skill sets across your leadership bench?  If it isn't where it needs to be, what are you doing about it?  Everything is related to everything else, so it needs a complete solution rather than a fragmented result.  How is that coming along?

On this week's episode of the Shareholderrs the guys discuss the life of an childhood icon, Hulk Hogan.

CEO Martin Slabbert unravels the cash and preference share options in the PK bid, as well as the implications of the Hyprop offering.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce key developments following the company's annual and special meeting of shareholders, held in July. Bokhari reported that shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of all resolutions, including the election of all eight director nominees—two of whom are new to the board. Among the newly elected directors is The Honorable Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a veteran public servant with more than three decades of leadership experience. McMorris Rodgers represented Washington's 5th Congressional District from 2004 to 2025 and previously served as Republican Leader in the Washington State House of Representatives—the first woman to hold that role. Bokhari described her as a people-first, mission-driven leader whose policy acumen and bipartisan leadership will bring tremendous value to Medicus Pharma during its next phase of growth. Also joining the board is Ajay Raju, a well-known attorney, venture capitalist, and entrepreneur. Raju is Chairman and CEO of Raju LLP, Managing Partner of 215 Capital, and Co-founder of Avstera Therapeutics, with leadership roles across 16 portfolio companies. His legal, financial, and strategic expertise further strengthens the company's board as it advances clinical development and business expansion. In addition to governance updates, Bokhari revealed that Medicus has submitted a comprehensive briefing package to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting a Type C meeting. The company is seeking formal FDA feedback on its D-MNA (Dermal Methylnaltrexone) development program aimed at treating Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) of the skin. The proposed Phase 2 clinical trial (SKNJCT-003) will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study enrolling up to 60 participants. Subjects will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either a Placebo, low-dose D-MNA, or high-dose D-MNA. The trial is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes, with the goal of accelerating the development of a novel topical therapy for one of the most common forms of skin cancer. With a strengthened leadership team and a clear regulatory strategy, Medicus Pharma is positioning itself for a pivotal year ahead in both corporate development and clinical advancement. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

Your thoughts on the kiss-cam episodeAndrew Ross Sorkin's note yesterday about Andy Byron, the C.E.O. of a tech start-up caught on camera with a colleague from H.R. at a Coldplay concert, struck a nerve with DealBook readers, who have flooded our inbox with responses: “The moment seems to encapsulate the pervasive schadenfreude within our culture, especially our office culture, and a deep-seated animosity toward bosses and colleagues,” Andrew wrote. “It highlights a zero-sum mentality in which a colleague's success is perceived as your loss, and their failure your gain.” He added that, “The incident also underscores our surveillance state.”Here's what readers had to say:“The surveillance state is a bit aggressive of a take on this. They were lovingly embracing at a concert during a love song while the kiss cam was on the prowl.” — Bob McMurtry“The public is not just reacting to someone else's misfortune, it is reacting to the utter hypocrisy revealed yet again by those in power who dictate rules that others should follow, yet arrogantly disregard following them themselves. Employees endure hours of H.R. training on the impropriety of workplace relationships, especially between manager and subordinate, yet the actual HEAD of H.R. engages in an affair with her married C.E.O. Do you not see the specific irony of this outing?” — Jim Woidat“I don't think we commoners' resentment of C.E.O.s is so much about jealousy as it is about pay inequality (their pay rate today vs. what it was a few decades ago) and stuff like golden parachutes.” — Tom EshbaughWhat nobody is talking about:Before the kisscam: 12 executives (11 men and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot); 6 directors (all men)They've also disabled their LinkedIn links and yetAstronomer board launches investigation after viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' video appears to show CEO embracing HR chiefDealBook Hot Take: Board members should be licensedJonathan Foster, a consultant and former managing director at Lazard, has served on more than 50 corporate boards. Along the way, he says, he has encountered directors who have stayed too long, or ones whose “knowledge of financial statements and M&A is lacking.” He drew on that experience in “On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance,” his new book.One of his big ideas for improving director performance: “a license,” he told DealBook, like the kind required “for investment bankers, doctors, lawyers, even massage therapists.”That, he said, “might increase confidence in corporate directors.”How it would work: Some of the requirements Foster envisions include 10 years of work experience, being at least 35 and passing an exam covering legal standards, basic accounting and finance principles, and ethics. “It doesn't have to be particularly onerous,” he said, comparing it to the Series 7 exam for financial advisers.To issue licenses, he says, the New York Stock Exchange could oversee an organization like Harvard Business School or the National Association of Corporate Directors. He says he sees the arrangement as akin to how the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board operates under the authority of the S.E.C. That independent nonprofit group, he noted, “has commissioners, and they go do their thing, but they're ultimately responsible to and can be pre-empted by the S.E.C.”Is it workable? DealBook asked Edward Rock, a professor of corporate governance at the New York University School of Law. He said he worried that standardized requirements for diverse companies could disqualify board members with otherwise strong attributes. For example, he wrote in an email to DealBook, “Why would anyone want to prevent Mark Zuckerberg (28 at the time of Facebook's I.P.O.) or Larry Page and Sergey Brin” — both in their thirties when Google listed — “from serving on the board of directors of Facebook and Google?”(Foster said exceptions could be created, including for founders.)Shareholders have an incentive to demand the most qualified board members, Rock continued, and they tend to do so.Coca-Cola will roll out cane sugar version of namesake soda in the U.S. this fallPrivate jet sales are poised for takeoff thanks to a revived tax breakA federal tax change now lets companies write off the full cost of buying a private jet in year oneStarbucks' formerly remote CEO has bought a home in Seattle and he's ordering all staff back to the office 4 days a week Jeff Bezos taps former Amazon Alexa head to lead $10 billion Earth fundElon Musk's other companies could soon pour billions into his AI startupSpaceX, the rocket company Musk founded and controls, is reportedly investing $2 billion into xAI, his AI startup best known for the chatbot GrokElon Musk promises Tesla shareholders a vote over buying equity in his Grok startup: ‘If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago'Musk's xAI faces European scrutiny over Grok's 'horrific' antisemitic postsElon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is now working with the federal governmentElon Musk's Neuralink filed as 'disadvantaged business' before being valued at $9 billionOpenAI warns that its new ChatGPT Agent has the ability to aid dangerous bioweapon developmentA Staggering Proportion of Teens Say Talking to AI Is Better Than Real-Life FriendsElon Musk announces Baby Grok AI chatbot designed specifically for children's learning needsTelegram CEO Pavel Durov on French probe against Elon Musk's Twitter: “at this point, any tech company can be declared a ‘criminal gang' in France".

"Each Seabridge Gold Share Represents $9,000 In-Situ Metal, Yet Trades for $16” says CEO Rudi Fronk in this MSE episode. Seabridge Gold presents an extraordinary tripartite value argument to investors claiming to offer: 1) more value per share than any other publicly traded metal producer; 2) the most gold per share of any public company; and 3) more copper per share than any other copper focused exploration and mining company. In this MSE episode, host Bill Powers interviews Rudi Fronk about his mining career, key lessons learned and the investment thesis behind Seabridge. Rudi recounts his early education in mining and finance at Columbia University, the lessons he learned from the multifold challenges faced by Greenstone Resources while he was at the helm, and how these experiences shaped his approach at Seabridge. He emphasizes Seabridge's guiding principles such as avoiding political risk, never building mines themselves, and focusing on gold ounce per share growth. The conversation also delves into two significant near-term milestones for Seabridge, including resolving a nuisance claim and announcing the joint venture partner for the KSM project. Rudi shares insights on the gold market, the company's strategic approach, and his commitment to Seabridge's long-term success. 0:00 Intro 0:54 Career path 4:04 What Rudi did wrong at Greenstone Resources 6:07 Seabridge Gold: Rudi's second chance 7:37 “I'm a control freak” 8:20 Seabridge: the most gold per share 10:22 Why the share price discount? 11:30 Two main catalysts 12:49 Courageous Lake spinout 15:27 Gold miner value destruction 17:40 Shareholders: listen to or ignore? 21:00 Investment thesis never changed 21:51 Stars aligning 26:05 JV partner announcement 27:58 Liquidation value? 29:01 $12,000/oz gold? 31:51 Rudi's retirement https://www.seabridgegold.com/ TSX:SEA NYSE:SA Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This interview was not sponsored.

Activist shareholders can make things difficult for the companies they target. But they represent a significant source of revenue for the law firms that represent those companies—and their shareholders. Bloomberg Law reporters Drew Hutchinson and Andrew Ramonas recently dug through the data on which firms did the most work on shareholder fights in the first half of this year. And Hutchinson talks about what they learned on this episode of our podcast, On The Merits. She said this spring's stock market dip is likely contributing to more activity in this space because it allowed activist investors to purchase more of their target companies at discounted prices.

This Day in Legal History: Sedition Act PassedOn this day in legal history, July 14, 1798, the United States Congress passed the Sedition Act, one of the most controversial laws in the nation's early political history. Part of the broader Alien and Sedition Acts, this law made it a crime to publish “any false, scandalous and malicious writing” against the federal government, Congress, or the President with the intent to defame or bring them into disrepute. Ostensibly aimed at quelling foreign influence and internal subversion during the quasi-war with France, the Act was also a clear weapon against domestic political opposition—particularly the Democratic-Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson.Federalist lawmakers, who dominated Congress and the presidency under John Adams, justified the law as necessary for national security. However, it was widely criticized as an assault on First Amendment rights and a means of silencing dissent. The law resulted in the prosecution of several Republican editors and even members of Congress, including Representative Matthew Lyon of Vermont, who was sentenced to four months in jail.The Sedition Act provoked a fierce backlash and spurred Jefferson and James Madison to draft the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which introduced the doctrine of nullification—the idea that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional. Public outrage over the Act played a significant role in the Federalists' defeat in the election of 1800 and the subsequent repeal or expiration of most provisions of the Alien and Sedition Acts.The Sedition Act expired on March 3, 1801, the day before Jefferson assumed the presidency. Its legacy remains a cautionary tale about the tension between national security and civil liberties, and it is frequently cited in debates over the limits of free speech in times of political crisis.California tax authorities have flagged over 1,500 high-end vehicles sold by 500 dealerships as likely being registered through Montana LLCs in an attempt to avoid California sales tax and vehicle registration fees. These vehicles—worth more than $300 million collectively—are tied to a long-running strategy used by buyers of luxury assets like exotic cars, yachts, and RVs to exploit Montana's zero percent sales tax and minimal registration costs. Dealers and buyers now face possible penalties, audits, and investigations as California intensifies enforcement.The scheme works like this: a buyer sets up a Montana LLC, purchases and registers the vehicle under that entity, and keeps the car out-of-state on paper—even if it's garaged and driven daily in a state like California. That regulatory fiction is precisely what states are cracking down on. Bloomberg Tax recently highlighted the scale of the problem, noting that more than 600,000 vehicles are likely registered in Montana but used elsewhere, costing states billions annually in uncollected taxes.Montana LLCs have become a go-to workaround for the wealthy looking to sidestep their home-state tax obligations. While technically legal under Montana law, when the vehicle is used in another state without proper registration or tax payment, it becomes a form of tax evasion. States like Illinois and Utah are following California's lead, passing laws to “look through” LLCs and hold in-state beneficial owners accountable.This isn't just a niche tax dodge—it's a broader challenge to state tax enforcement. As wealthier individuals increasingly exploit differences between state tax codes, it's prompting legal reforms and inter-agency cooperation to close loopholes once thought too obscure or dispersed to address. California's latest enforcement push suggests these Montana LLC schemes are no longer flying under the radar—and that other states may soon follow with penalties and structural reforms of their own.California Finds 1,500 Vehicles Linked to Montana Tax SheltersNearly two-thirds of the U.S. Department of Justice's Federal Programs Branch—the unit charged with defending Trump administration policies in court—has resigned or announced plans to leave since Donald Trump's reelection. Out of roughly 110 attorneys, 69 have exited, according to a list reviewed by Reuters. The exodus includes nearly half the section's supervisors and is far greater than typical turnover seen in prior administrations. While the Trump administration maintains its legal actions are within constitutional bounds, current and former DOJ lawyers cite an overwhelming workload and ethical concerns as key drivers of the departures.Many career lawyers reportedly struggled to defend policies they saw as legally dubious or procedurally flawed, including efforts to revoke birthright citizenship and claw back federal funding from universities. Several feared they'd be pressured to make misleading or unethical arguments in court. In some cases, lawyers were expected to defend executive orders with minimal input from the agencies involved. A recent whistleblower complaint even alleged retaliation against a supervisor who refused to make unsupportable claims in immigration cases.Despite the mass departures, the Trump administration continues to rely heavily on the unit as it seeks to expand executive power following favorable Supreme Court rulings. The DOJ has reassigned attorneys from other divisions, brought in over a dozen political appointees, and exempted the unit from the federal hiring freeze to keep up with litigation demands. Critics argue the changes undermine DOJ independence, while supporters claim the administration is merely ensuring its policies get a fair defense in court.Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit | ReutersAn $8 billion trial kicks off this week in Delaware where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and several current and former Facebook leaders are accused by shareholders of knowingly violating a 2012 FTC consent decree aimed at protecting user privacy. The lawsuit stems from the 2018 revelation that Cambridge Analytica accessed data from millions of Facebook users without their consent, ultimately leading to billions in fines and costs for Meta—including a $5 billion penalty from the FTC in 2019. Shareholders, including union pension funds like California's State Teachers' Retirement System, want Zuckerberg and others to reimburse the company, alleging they operated Facebook as a law-breaking enterprise.Defendants in the case include Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, and Reed Hastings. While Meta itself is not a defendant, the case focuses on the board's alleged failure to oversee privacy practices and enforce the 2012 agreement. The plaintiffs must prove what legal experts call the most difficult claim in corporate law: a total failure of oversight by directors. Delaware law gives leeway for poor business decisions—but not illegal ones, even if they're profitable.Zuckerberg is expected to testify, and plaintiffs argue he personally directed deceptive privacy practices and tried to offload stock ahead of the Cambridge Analytica scandal to avoid losses, allegedly netting $1 billion. Defendants deny wrongdoing, claiming the company took privacy seriously by investing in compliance and being deceived by Cambridge Analytica.Meta investors, Zuckerberg to square off at $8 billion trial over alleged privacy violations | Reuters This is a public episode.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1078: Today we're talking stormy shareholder meetings at Nissan, the EV factory tours drawing crowds in China, and the Gen Z men getting caught outsourcing their work to AI.Show Notes with links:Nissan's new CEO Ivan Espinosa faced intense scrutiny from investors at his first annual shareholders' meeting as he moves forward with a bold restructuring plan and ends Renault's board influence.Espinosa replaces ousted CEO Makoto Uchida, part of a March leadership overhaul aimed at reviving a struggling Nissan.Longtime partner Renault lost direct influence as its board reps, including Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, were removed—marking a clear shift toward Nissan independence.Shareholders grilled Espinosa on governance, executive pay, and the automaker's U.S. and Japan strategy.Nissan plans to cut 20,000 jobs, shut 7 factories, and save ¥500B ($3.46B) by March 2028.It projects a ¥200B ($1.38B) Q1 loss, including ¥450B ($3B) in expected U.S. tariff hits.One attendee described the Q&A as “stormy,” saying Espinosa was “smooth and fluent… but equivocated without substance.”EV factory tours have become a cultural sensation in China, with tens of thousands scrambling each month for a glimpse behind the robotic curtain of brands like Xiaomi and Nio.Xiaomi Auto's factory receives over 27,000 applications per night for limited tour slots, offering racetrack test drives and now souvenirs.Nio drew 130,000 visitors last year; several other automakers are jumping on board.What began as three monthly tours at Xiaomi has expanded to weekday and weekend offerings for over 1,100 visitors.Visitors describe vast facilities with “only a handful of workers” as robots handle most of the labor.“It offers a chance to not only see the production line up close, but also experience the human side of the brand,” said analyst Freya Zhang.A new survey reveals that while AI boosts Gen Z productivity, a surprising number—especially men—are bending the rules by passing off AI work as their own.40% of Gen Z men admitted to submitting AI-generated work as their own; only 20% of women did the same.Nearly 1 in 3 Gen Z workers have knowingly broken company policy using AI and 30% say they've created fake work with AI to appear more productive.42% of Gen Z men say they worry AI could replace them at work—compared to just 33% of women.23% of men said they couldn't do their job without AI; only 14% of women felt that way.Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius, “The concern is workers start outsourcing not just tasks, but their judgment, confidence, and even their voice.”Join 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/

Why CCOs Are a Company's Secret Weapon with Charley Johnson (episode 386) "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams Check Out These Highlights: Leadership is so much more than a title, such as CEO, CFO, or EVP. I have seen great leaders who have no title at all; they care deeply, show up big every time they arrive at work, and inspire others to do the same. Inspiring your team and growing their skills is truly the job of great leaders.  Yet, I see it all the time, where our corporate leaders, especially in large companies, have lost sight of the human perspective, and it's all about shareholder value. Shareholders are essential, yet not at the cost of the people who create the profit. So what are we doing wrong? About Charley Johnson: Charley has 20+ years in corporate as a business owner, 7 years in non-profit as the president of the Pay it Forward Foundation, and 10 years with an enlightened teacher. The combination of these three things creates a unique set of skills that will be crucial for companies and their employees moving forward. He is working to bring the position of Chief Consciousness Officer to the forefront of the business world and into all companies.

In Lecture Three of the Business Associations series, we explored the complex legal framework governing corporations, the most dominant form of business organization today.We began by defining a corporation as a separate legal entity, distinct from its owners (the shareholders), with the capacity to own property, sue and be sued, and exist indefinitely. Key characteristics include limited liability, centralized management through a board of directors, free transferability of shares (in public corporations), and perpetual existence.We examined the process of formation, including filing articles of incorporation, adopting bylaws, appointing directors and officers, and issuing stock. We reviewed the different types of corporations, including publicly held corporations, closely held corporations, nonprofit corporations, and S corporations, which pass income directly to shareholders for tax purposes.We explored limited liability, noting how shareholders are generally protected from personal liability but how courts may pierce the corporate veil when the entity is abused for fraud or injustice, as seen in Walkovszky v. Carlton.We discussed fiduciary duties owed by directors and officers:The duty of care, protected under the business judgment rule, requiring informed, rational decisions.The duty of loyalty, prohibiting self-dealing and conflicts of interest, as highlighted in Guth v. Loft.Shareholders have rights to vote, inspect records, receive dividends, and bring derivative suits on behalf of the corporation.We touched on securities regulation, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, insider trading rules, and key cases like SEC v. Texas Gulf Sulphur Co.We also considered corporate finance, governance mechanisms, and doctrinal debates over shareholder primacy, stakeholder theory, and reforms promoting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) accountability.Key TakeawaysCorporations are separate legal entities with perpetual existence.Shareholders enjoy limited liability but must respect formalities.Directors and officers owe duties of care and loyalty.The business judgment rule protects good-faith decisions.Shareholders have voting, inspection, and derivative rights.Veil piercing occurs only under exceptional misuse.Securities laws regulate disclosure and trading in public firms.Corporate finance balances debt and equity mechanisms.Governance structures aim to align management and shareholder interests.Ongoing debates address shareholder versus stakeholder models.

Robyn Denholm member of Pay CommitteeIn 2024, Tesla experienced its first annual sales decline in nearly a decade, with a 1.1% drop in global deliveries. In April 2025, Chinese automaker BYD surpassed Tesla in European electric vehicle sales for the first time, registering 7,231 units compared to Tesla's 7,165. This shift is attributed to BYD's competitively priced and technologically advanced lineup. Tesla's sales in California, its largest American market, declined in all four quarters of 2024, with Model 3 sales plunging 36% for the year. In 2024, Tesla led all automakers in the U.S. with over 5 million vehicles recalled across 16 separate campaignsIn 2025, Tesla dropped to 95th place out of 100 in the Axios Harris Poll, down from 8th place in 2021In a hidden 10K/A from 4/30/25“Staggering” is from Fox: even more fake anti-capitalist rhetoricScared bro dictatorships: Duolingo deletes its TikTok and Instagram posts amid AI backlashCEO Luis von Ahn, posted a memo on LinkedIn last month describing plans to make the company "AI-first." He said the company would "gradually stop using contractors to do work that AI can handle" and "headcount will only be given if a team cannot automate more of their work."The backlash was harsh. Tweets, TikToks, and Reddit posts exploded in outrage. As of Tuesday, Duolingo's social accounts had been wiped — no posts, no icon. Duolingo did not respond to a request for comment.And the one statement that was released by a Duolingo spokesperson, after the account went dark, did not shade much light on the situation (pun intended): “Let's just say we're experimenting with silence. Sometimes, the best way to make noise is to disappear first.”Duolingo CEO says there may still be schools in our AI future, but mostly just for childcareBro dictatorship (76% combined voting power)Co-founder CEO Luis von Ahn (43%); co-founder CTO Severin Hacker (40%)Classified board: why?Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 20 votesThe worst kind of suck-ups: Verizon ends DEI programs, diversity goals as it seeks approval for Frontier acquisition MMVerizon dumped DEI.

Thank you.Many thanks to all the new subscribers who have joined this week, both paid and unpaid. I put this video of my recent North Sea Oil piece up on YouTube, X et al and it generated something of a flurry.So welcome. I hope you both enjoy and benefit from The Flying Frisby.Before we get started I just wanted to note that Comstock Lode seems to be catching a nice tail wind, which is good. Enjoy the ride. The AGM is later today for the keener of you out there.But we are looking at bitcoin today, and exploring an alternative way to invest in it.I'm going through one of those phases where I feel like I don't own enough bitcoin.So I've bought more.And I've bought it in my SIPP - UK-speak for my retirement account.I'll explain how in a second.Let's just have a quick look at the bitcoin price, and note that we are once again breaking out to new highs.I know it feels like you are late to the bitcoin story, and yes we all wish we bought it at $10, when we first heard about it. But we didn't. We are where we are, and this story is a long way from being over.The next chapter in the odyssey is corporate adoption, and that story is just getting started.I explained the bitcoin corporate treasury model a fortnight ago here, and I've made the article freely available to all, so please take a look, but the TLDR is this.Following a template set by billionaire genius Michael Saylor, more and more companies are converting their treasuries to bitcoin as a means to store value and escape currency debasement. Not only that, they are issuing paper—stock, debt, convertible notes—and using the capital raised to buy more bitcoin. In effect, they are creating fiat money from nothing—it is a debt-based system, after all—and using it to buy a finite digital resource (one that, of course, cannot be created through debt).Many are scratching their heads and saying, “How can this be? It's not possible! It's a bubble.”What Saylor is actually doing, among other things, is exposing the flaws of debt-based fiat currency. There are now some 70 companies employing this strategy. This will eventually be a stampede, which I urge you to front-run. Corporations have much deeper pockets than private investors, meaning this latest cycle in bitcoin's mass adoption could become a mega mania.Shareholders welcome dilution if it means more bitcoin. The problem of corporate dilution has been flipped on its head. Once, if a company issued 20% more stock, you would expect the stock to fall by a concomitant amount to reflect the dilution. But if you're using paper to buy bitcoin, the reverse applies. You can't dilute enough. The purpose of a bitcoin treasury company is to acquire as much bitcoin as possible on behalf of all shareholders, by whatever means.Here is a case in point.Japanese hotel company Metaplanet (3350:TYO) had a small chain of low-budget hotels across Southeast Asia. Covid decimated the business, and it never fully recovered.A year ago, seeking a new direction, CEO Simon Gerovich began copying the Saylor model and started using his cash flow to buy bitcoin, then he began issuing debt. Since spring 2024, when the company began its strategy, the stock has risen thousands of percent from below ¥20 to north of ¥1,000. Last year, it was one of the best-performing companies in the world, if not the best. How about this for a chart?In the time that bitcoin has risen 60%, Metaplanet has risen more than 7,000%. (Saylor's Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) has also outperformed bitcoin. Bitcoin treasury companies give you gearing).With its crap currency and suppressed bond yields, bitcoin is an obvious place for Japanese investors to put their capital, except the government has got in the way.As with the UK, dumb regulations make it very hard for Japanese investors to buy bitcoin directly. (This came as a result of Mt. Gox, the first bitcoin exchange, which went bust after being hacked in 2013-14). To give you an idea how ponderous things are, to register with a bitcoin exchange in Japan , regulators demand you get a letter by snail mail to verify your address. Nuts.What's more, when the Japanese sell, they must pay capital gains tax at 55%.But Metaplanet is a Tokyo-listed company, so investors are buying that instead in their retirement accounts and via their brokers. Far less hassle. Just as, back in 2023, I urged UK readers to buy Strategy as a way to play bitcoin (we are up around 1,000%), Metaplanet has become Japan's bitcoin vehicle—indeed, much of Asia's.For several days in a row, the company has gone limit-up, and trading has been halted. The mother of all short squeezes seems to be taking place. It's the most shorted stock in all of Japan - and the short sellers are struggling to cover.This bubble has, quite literally, been caused by state regulation. We wouldn't be in this situation if it was easy to buy bitcoin. It's enough to make you a libertarian. It's amazing that both Japan and the UK were at the vanguard in bitcoin's early days. Satoshi Nakamoto had a Japanese name and used British English. Now we are both retarded (in both the old sense of the word and the new).How to profit from the maniaIn the UK, Avis-listed The Smarter Web Company (ISIN: GB00BPJHZ015) is now following suit, as several readers have pointed out to me (thank you). It's gone from 5p to 45p in a month. Currently, The Smarter Web Company has a market cap of £72 million, while it holds only £3 million in bitcoin (rounded numbers). Insane, you might think. Probably.Bitcoin Treasury Companies are outperforming bitcoin. They are the new sh*tcoins. So which bitcoin treasury company have I gone for?Here is how I am playing all this.
