We're making our entrance for this one running in with arms in bras bas! Was SAVE THE LAST DANCE (2001) the beginning of the dance movie craze of the noughts? With a bonus film that definitely hits right in the middle of that fad: STEP UP (2006)It's interesting revisiting STLD on the other side of the reckonings that happened around BLM. It earnestly explores some serious topics with Julia Stiles's white ballerina becoming a fish out of water when she moves to a majority black neighbourhood in Chicago. Julia Stiles relied heavily on a body double for her ballet, but this box office hit made her a star. Watch out for Kerry Washington in her first film role. Sara may have learnt how to find her groove thanks to Derek, BUT WILL SHE GET INTO JULLIARD?!?!Join us and Jack Webb and Isaac Bowry, virtual guests, but real-life friends!LINKSCheryl Edwards on STLD scriptPierre-Émile on Instgram

Jobs market remains in a good spot  Headline nonfarm payrolls increased 139k in the month of May, which was above the estimate of 125k, but below April's reading of 147k. A big negative in the report was the fact that March and April saw negative revisions that caused payrolls in those months to decline by a combined 95k versus what was previously reported. Even with that, if you zoom out and look at the big picture the economy is still adding jobs at a healthy rate given the fact that the unemployment rate has remained at 4.2%. I would also say it was a big positive that the private sector saw good growth since federal government payrolls declined by 22k in the month of May and are now down by 59k since January. I still expect losses to accelerate in the coming months for government payrolls since employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are still counted as employed. Areas that saw major growth in the month included health care, which added 62k jobs and leisure and hospitality, which added 48k jobs in the month. Many of the other major industries saw little change. Wages were also positive in the month for workers as average hourly earnings grew 3.9% compared to last year. This was above the forecast of 3.7% and last month's reading of 3.8%. I believe this is a good level for wage growth as it is healthy for workers, but not overly concerning on the inflation front. I would say this jobs report did little to change the narrative on the economy as it showed it remains healthy, but it definitely appears to be slowing.    Office space may be harder to find in the coming years  For the first time in at least 25 years, office conversions and demolitions will exceed new construction, which means there will be less space available. CBRE Group found that across the largest 58 U.S. markets, 23.3 million square feet of space will be demolished or converted to other uses by the end of this year while just 12.7 million square feet of space is expected to be completed by developers in those markets. We do have an office REIT in our portfolio and they recently talked about how leasing has continued to exceed expectations. I continue to believe the office has a valuable place in business and we have continued to see more and more companies implement return to office mandates. With less supply out there and demand remaining strong, we should see owners of office space benefit from stabilizing rents and increasing prices in the coming years. On the other side of coin, I have continued to express concern about the long-term dynamics for multifamily housing due to the construction boom in the space and potential oversupply. It's not just the new construction though as developers have another 85 million square feet of office space being readied for conversion in the next few years. This comes after office conversations to multifamily residences that have generated roughly 33,000 apartments and condominiums since 2016. It is estimated by CBRE that each conversion on average produces around 170 units. As a contrarian investor I many times like to go against the grain. With that being said I am definitely much more interested in the office space over the residential space at this point in time.      Facebook scams are out of control  There's no way of tracking the exact number of scams or the dollar amount lost from scams on Facebook and Instagram, but JP Morgan Chase said between the summers of 2023 and 2024 they accounted for nearly half of all reported scams on Zelle. An internal analysis from 2022 found that 70% of newly active advertisers on the platform are some forms of scam or low-quality products. Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, does over $160 billion in advertising and is hesitant to put any restrictions that could prevent growth in their ad business. In 2024, the Wall Street Journal discovered documents that advertisers can be hit with anywhere between eight and 32 automated strikes for financial fraud before their accounts are banned. On top of that, Facebook Marketplace, which is its online secondhand market, has now passed Craigslist as the most heavily used platform for free classified ads and it has become a great place for scams. The scam that most people fall for is the sale of pets. This comes even though Meta bans the peer-to-peer sale of live animals. Meta has as argued in court it is not their legal responsibility to deal with the issue. Section 230 in the US telecommunications law relieves platforms like Facebook and Instagram from liability of users who create their own content. This is currently being tested by an Australian mining billionaire because Facebook failed to remove fraudulent investment advertisements that used his image and AI cloned voice. Hopefully he wins the case. In the meantime, I would have to recommend that people stay away from using Facebook or Instagram for buying from advertisers on their platforms because you could be dealing with someone from China, Vietnam, or the Philippines, who have stolen pictures of a familiar company that you think you know, even including its address. And once you give them your credit card information or any other financial information, they have you and your problems will begin.   Financial Planning:  Retirement Savings Rate Hits Record High; How Do You Compare?  The average 401(k) savings rate, including employee contributions and employer matches, has reached a record high of 14.3%, nearing the widely recommended target of 15% for a secure retirement. This milestone reflects growing awareness of the importance of long-term financial planning, especially as traditional pensions continue to disappear. However, the ideal savings rate isn't one-size-fits-all. Individuals who begin saving in their early 20s may be able to retire comfortably with a lower contribution rate, while those who delay investing until their 30s or 40s often need to save well above 15% to catch up. Starting early allows compound interest to do more of the heavy lifting, highlighting the value of consistent, proactive saving from a young age. For example, someone who starts at the beginning of their career might be okay saving as little as 7% of their income and still retire on time. This means if they save the minimum necessary to receive the full company match (5% contribution + 4% match = 9%) they likely will be fine. However, waiting until their 40's may require a savings rate of 25% or more to produce the same retirement income.    Companies Discussed: Salesforce, Inc. (CRM), The Gap, Inc. (GAP), Wells Fargo & Company (WFC) & Steel Dynamics, Inc. (STLD)

Today we're bringing you guys another dance centric flick on Large Marge Sent Us, none other than Save the Last Dance, everyone's second favorite Julia Stiles film! From 2001, STLD tells the story of Sarah, a senior in high school from a small town in Illinois. She's auditioning for Julliard when her mother dies in a tragic car accident. So she's forced to move to the mean streets of Chicago and live with her Jazz Dad, Roy and she swears off ballet forever, convinced it was her fault her mother is dead!  She starts a new school and meets cool new black friends who teach her the art of hip hop dancing! She decides to try out for Julliard one more time, and this time she's going to nail that audition because she's got street smarts and a hot new boyfriend to give her pep talks from the wings! We were obsessed with this movie when it came out as it's basically made for white girls from the suburbs who want to be cooler than they really are.  It has a great soundtrack and a star turn by Kerry Washington in her first movie role as Derrick's sister Chenille. We'll talk about how we think Julia Stiles is maybe not the best actress but we sure do love her movies, our own memories of the tough times of high school, and play some of the songs from the killer sound track for you all. You all be trippin'!
