    A Trapped Buyer is somebody moving off emotion instead of wisdom, staring at a chart like it is gonna save them. That is desperation, not Strategy. And understand this, that same spirit been hunting us long before the stock market. Trapped in the hood, trapped in poverty, trapped in jail cells, trapped in mental prisons. A system designed to keep you chasing instead of building. The market only exposes what life already revealed. When you lack discipline, you buy tops. When you lack patience, you sell bottoms. That is not a trading problem, that is a character problem. But once your mind get free, your money follow. Once you get knowledge, the trap break. The market stop being gambling and start being divine order. Numbers become language. Charts become truth. And you realize wealth is not luck, it alignment.

    Trading is no longer just a financial activity; it has become a spectator sport. In this episode, Threadguy explains how Gen Z's internet-native fluency, built through sneaker markets, NFTs, and meme cycles, translates into a new kind of market intuition: attention, momentum, and mimetics. We delve into “Entertainment Finance,” where perps, prediction markets, and live trading are starting to resemble streaming and esports more closely than Wall Street. Along the way, we explore why “internet capital markets” may pull everything on-chain over time, what happens when every asset becomes content, and why creators and traders will keep pushing into the open frontier. ---

    Ho-Ho-Ho, wait till you hear about the gifts I'm giving to some of America's power elites for Christmas.To each of our Congress critters, I give my fondest wish that from now on they receive the exact same income, health care, and pensions that we average citizens get. If they receive only the American average, it might make them a bit more humble – and less cavalier about ignoring the needs of regular folks.To the stockings of GOP leaders who've so eagerly debased themselves to serve the madness of Donald Trump, I'm adding individual spritzer bottles of fragrances like “Essence of Integrity” and “Eau de Self-respect” to help cover up their stench. And in the stockings of Democratic congressional leaders, I'm giving “Spice of Viagra” and “Bouquet du Grassroots” to stiffen their spines and remind them of who they represent.For America's CEO's, my gift is a beautifully boxed, brand-new set of corporate ethics. It's called the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Going to pollute someone's neighborhood? Then, you have to live there, too. Going to slash wages and benefits? Then, slash yours as well. Going to move your manufacturing to sweatshops in China? Then, put your office right inside the worst sweatshop. Executive life won't be as luxurious, but CEO's would glow with a new purity of spirit.To the Wall Street hedge-fund hucksters who've conglomerated, plundered, and degraded hundreds of America's newspapers, I'm sending copies of “Journalism for Dummies” and offered jobs for each of them in their stripped-down, Dickensian newsrooms. Good luck.And what better gift to the Trump family – Donald, Ivanka and Jared, Eric, Donnie Jr., and the whole nest of them – than to wish that they live with each other constantly and permanently. No, really, each of you deserve it.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    Wall Street Opened the World to Epstein—Someone Else Kept Him Safe (12/18/25)

    The public reawakening to the Jeffrey Epstein story has exposed not just the scale of his crimes, but how profoundly they were misunderstood and minimized for years. Many who once dismissed deeper reporting on Epstein are now fully engaged as legacy outlets publish long retrospectives on his wealth, social connections, and early career, particularly his time at Bear Stearns. While this shift in coverage may appear overdue, it raises an uncomfortable question: why these stories are being told now, long after Epstein abused victims openly in New York and elsewhere with little sustained scrutiny. For years, major media organizations treated the more troubling implications of Epstein's power as speculative, focusing on isolated scandals rather than the structural forces that allowed him to operate with impunity. The current reporting, much of it recycling information known for half a decade or more, still largely avoids confronting how Epstein repeatedly survived scandals that should have ended his freedom.The missing piece, critics argue, is the role of institutional protection—specifically the possibility that Epstein functioned as a confidential informant for the FBI, explaining his extraordinary immunity from consequences. This framework helps account for the consistent pattern of stalled investigations, lenient treatment, and prosecutorial deference that followed Epstein for decades, culminating in the unprecedented 2008 non-prosecution agreement that shielded both Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators. Rather than interrogating how Epstein escaped accountability at every turn, mainstream coverage has remained fixated on how he made his money, a safer line of inquiry that avoids scrutiny of law enforcement itself. Until journalists squarely address why Epstein was protected—not merely how he accumulated wealth—the story remains fundamentally incomplete, leaving the most consequential questions about power, complicity, and systemic failure unanswered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

    Jeffrey Epstein's entry into Bear Stearns in the mid-1970s was unusual from the start, as he was hired despite lacking a college degree and having misrepresented his academic background. He began in a junior role but quickly moved into advising wealthy clients and was eventually made a limited partner, a rise aided more by internal relationships than traditional qualifications. Concerns about his behavior and credibility circulated within the firm, and his tenure ended after roughly five years amid regulatory scrutiny. The firm never publicly explained the precise circumstances of his departure, leaving lingering questions about how and why he was allowed to advance as far as he did.After leaving Bear Stearns, Epstein repeatedly leveraged his association with the firm as a badge of legitimacy, using it to portray himself as a seasoned Wall Street insider. Contacts from that period helped him attract ultra-wealthy clients and establish himself as a private money manager operating largely outside public view. The Bear Stearns connection became central to the financial identity he cultivated, providing credibility and access that far exceeded the scope and substance of his actual work there. That early Wall Street pedigree helped open doors that would later prove critical to the scale of his wealth, influence, and reach.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

    President Trump escalates tensions with Venezuela by ordering a partial oil blockade and asserting U.S. claims over foreign assets, sparking global concern and market jitters. The administration also reclassifies illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, reframing the opioid crisis as a national security threat. Plus, Wall Street’s AI boom draws uncomfortable comparisons to the dot-com bubble, while communities across the Southwest push back against massive data-center developments, questioning whether Big Tech’s promises still carry weight.

    Nearly a century ago, after years of investors on a champagne high and warning signs ignored, a stock market crash led to a descent into a global depression. Andrew Ross Sorkin, a New York Times financial journalist and author of the bestseller 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation, joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster to discuss how the events of 1929 resonate to this day, what's misunderstood about the fabled crash, whether Herbert Hoover (only seven months into his presidency when disaster struck) gets a fair shake, plus what the future holds for Federal Reserve independence, the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, and Wall Street's relationship with Washington. After that: The three fellows look back on 2025 with their choices for individual of the year, the most significant or ignored stories, what they learned in 2025, plus predictions and resolutions for the new year. Finally, a surprise visit by Hoover Institution visiting fellow Kris Kringle, who asks the panel for its holiday wishes (oddly enough, H.R. is never around when jolly old St. Nick shows up).      Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

Rob Reiner - A son of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, producer Michele Singer Reiner, Nick Reiner, is being held on suspicion of murder following their deaths, according to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell. He's being held on $4 million bail. - Citing law enforcement sources and family friends, ABC News reported on Monday that Nick Reiner had recently returned to live at his parents' South Chadbourne Avenue home.

More Hosing Related -  Zillow shares plunged more than 9% on Monday on worries that the online real estate platform could have a big new competitor: Google Search. - Google appears to be running tests on putting real estate sale listings into its search results. Overdue Eco  - Black Hole - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday releases its long-awaited combined employment reports for October and November, but a number of key details will be missing after the government shutdown prevented data collection, including October's unemployment rate, resulting in the first-ever gap in that critical data series since inception in 1948. - NICE JOB GANG! - Some of the data will be estimated. - It said it would not publish the headline CPI number or the so-called core CPI, which strips out the volatile food and energy components, for October. "BLS cannot provide specific guidance to data users for navigating the missing October observations," the agency said. Some Updates - Some info coming in are estimates - some delayed - Unemployment at 4.6% - Latest report shows +64,000 added - ISM Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing - both slowed over the last month The Fed - Meanwhile the Fed cuts rates.... - A Federal Reserve split over where its priorities should lie cut its key interest rate Wednesday in a 9-3 vote, but signaled a tougher road ahead for further reductions. - The FOMC's “dot plot” indicated just one more reduction in 2026 and another in 2027, amid considerable disagreement from members about where rates should head. - In addition to the rate decision, the Fed also announced it will resume buying Treasury securities. The central bank will start by buying $40 billion in Treasury bills, beginning Friday. - Markets were all over the place on this as it was a little confusing at first - then it seemed that everyone loved (for one day) - Why is the Fed moving up Treasury purchases to "immediately" from a few months from now? - AND - dissension ! A larger group  that usual of regional Fed bank presidents signaled they opposed the cut, and six policymakers said the benchmark federal funds rate should end 2025 in a range of 3.75% to 4%, suggesting they opposed the move. - Long bonds have not moved at all on this news. Costco Earnings - Costco beat Wall Street's fiscal first-quarter sales and revenue expectations. - Sales rose 8.2% and digital sales jumped 20.5% compared with the year-ago quarter. - Costco surpassed Wall Street's quarterly expectations and posted year-over-year sales growth of 8.2% as the retailer attracted more digital sales and opened new locations. - Earnings per share: $4.50 vs. $4.27 expected - Revenue: $67.31 billion vs. $67.14 billion expected - Costco does not provide year ahead guidance - Shares down from a recent high of $855 Costco Fun Facts - About 4.5 million pies were sold in the three days before Thanksgiving, which is equivalent to roughly 7,000 pies per warehouse. -  These were bakery pies (e.g., pumpkin, apple), - Costco had more than $250 million in non-food online orders on Black Friday, a record for Costco's U.S. e-commerce business. - Approximately 358,000 whole pizzas were served at Costco's U.S. food courts, a 31% jump from last year. (500 pizza's per store) Fat No More - Retatrutide - Eli Lilly said its next-generation obesity drug delivered what appears to be the highest weight loss seen so far in a late-stage trial and reduced knee arthritis pain, clearing the first of several upcoming studies on the weekly injection. - In a 48-week Phase 2 study, participants on the highest dose lost an average of 24% of their body weight. - Recent Phase 3 results showed patients on the highest dose lost an average of 28.7% of their body weight after 68 weeks. - The trials also showed improvements in related health conditions, including knee osteoarthritis pain, blood pressure, and liver fat - This triple action is what makes retatrutide potentially more effective for weight loss than existing medications like Zepbound (tirzepatide), which targets two receptors, or Wegovy (semaglutide), which targets only one. Paypal - PayPal Holdings Inc. applied to become a bank in the US, looking to take advantage of the Trump administration's openness to financial-technology companies entering the banking system. - The payments-focused firm submitted applications to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions to form a Utah-chartered industrial loan company, PayPal said in a statement Monday. - If approved, PayPal Bank would help the firm bolster its small-business lending capabilities, according to the statement, which said the company has provided access to more than $30 billion in loans and capital since 2013. Ford - Management Confused - Instead of planning to make enough electric vehicles to account for 40 percent of global sales by 2030—as it pledged just four years ago—Ford says it will focus on a broader range of hybrids, extended-range electrics, and battery-electric models, which executives now say will account for 50 percent of sales by the end of the decade. - The automaker will make hybrid versions of almost every vehicle in its lineup, the company says. - All in on EVS cost them -  Ford expects to record about $19.5 billion in special items, mostly during the fourth quarter. ---- The charges are related to a restructuring of its business priorities and a pullback in its all-electric vehicle investments. Australia - Australia has implemented a groundbreaking ban preventing children under 16 from accessing major social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, effective December 2025, to protect them from harm, with significant fines for companies failing to enforce it, though messaging apps and gaming platforms are currently exempt. - Reddit is suing - Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, Reddit, Kick, and Twitch are all banned for kids under 16. - Thoughts on this? Saved For Last - Of all the eye-popping numbers that Oracle Corp. published last week on the costs of its artificial-intelligence data center buildout, the most striking didn't appear until the day after its earnings press release and analyst call. - The more comprehensive 10-Q earnings report that appeared on Thursday detailed $248 billion of lease-payment commitments, “substantially all” related to data centers and cloud capacity arrangements, the business-software firm said. These are due to commence between now and its 2028 financial year but they're not yet included on its balance sheet. - That's almost $150 billion more than was disclosed in the footnotes of September's earnings update.

Joey Mure is the co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, a platform dedicated to helping people rethink traditional money advice and create passive income that gives people more control over their lives.  Once a high-earning corporate professional who felt constantly pulled away from his family, Joey now generates over $50,000 a month in passive income and guides others through the system for building passive income streams that helped him reclaim his time. Listen as he shares how he went from missing precious time with his five daughters to taking back his calendar through passive income.

    What If Everything You've Been Told About Building Wealth Is Wrong? Have you ever wondered why the financial industry treats entrepreneurs like they should act like employees? Save for retirement. Max out your 401(k). Lock your money away for 30 years. That advice might work for someone with a steady paycheck and a pension. But for business owners? It's a recipe for disaster. In Part 2 of our conversation with Perry Marshall, we're pulling back the curtain on what's broken in the financial planning world—and how we're using Profit First, Infinite Banking, and AI tools to help business owners build wealth on their own terms.

    Send us a textFundraising doesn't have to be a black box or a waiting game. We sit down with Woodie, co-founder of Crowdfund Capital Advisors and a key architect behind the JOBS Act crowdfunding rules, to map a founder-first path that fuses data, community, and disciplined execution. From Wall Street to Silicon Valley to Washington, Woodie's journey reveals why regulation crowdfunding has unlocked billions for startups in thousands of cities—and how the next wave of “influestors” will power growth far beyond traditional venture hubs.We dig into investor sentiment as a real-time signal of demand: daily check counts, dollars committed, and momentum curves that predict funding velocity and downstream success. Then we get practical about valuations—why sober pricing wins, how to benchmark with a 10,000-offering dataset, and the milestone-driven cadence that earns step-ups. You'll hear the three signals Woody watches before any meeting, the pitfalls of algorithmic overconfidence, and where human diligence—team, moat, market timing—still decides outcomes.The conversation flips the script on marketing too. Customers who become investors don't just write checks; they evangelize, bring sales, and defend your brand in public. We share the playbook for turning a raise into a launch, engaging comment threads as social proof, and structuring cap tables that signal either viral scale (many backers) or strategic conviction (larger checks). Expect candid talk on time costs, legal prep, and the founder mindset required to tune out naysayers while staying responsive and transparent.If you're building outside the usual VC corridors or simply want smarter capital, this is your roadmap: calibrate valuation with data, engineer sentiment with story, prove revenue momentum, and let your community carry the signal.

    The public reawakening to the Jeffrey Epstein story has exposed not just the scale of his crimes, but how profoundly they were misunderstood and minimized for years. Many who once dismissed deeper reporting on Epstein are now fully engaged as legacy outlets publish long retrospectives on his wealth, social connections, and early career, particularly his time at Bear Stearns. While this shift in coverage may appear overdue, it raises an uncomfortable question: why these stories are being told now, long after Epstein abused victims openly in New York and elsewhere with little sustained scrutiny. For years, major media organizations treated the more troubling implications of Epstein's power as speculative, focusing on isolated scandals rather than the structural forces that allowed him to operate with impunity. The current reporting, much of it recycling information known for half a decade or more, still largely avoids confronting how Epstein repeatedly survived scandals that should have ended his freedom.The missing piece, critics argue, is the role of institutional protection—specifically the possibility that Epstein functioned as a confidential informant for the FBI, explaining his extraordinary immunity from consequences. This framework helps account for the consistent pattern of stalled investigations, lenient treatment, and prosecutorial deference that followed Epstein for decades, culminating in the unprecedented 2008 non-prosecution agreement that shielded both Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators. Rather than interrogating how Epstein escaped accountability at every turn, mainstream coverage has remained fixated on how he made his money, a safer line of inquiry that avoids scrutiny of law enforcement itself. Until journalists squarely address why Epstein was protected—not merely how he accumulated wealth—the story remains fundamentally incomplete, leaving the most consequential questions about power, complicity, and systemic failure unanswered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    Jeffrey Epstein's entry into Bear Stearns in the mid-1970s was unusual from the start, as he was hired despite lacking a college degree and having misrepresented his academic background. He began in a junior role but quickly moved into advising wealthy clients and was eventually made a limited partner, a rise aided more by internal relationships than traditional qualifications. Concerns about his behavior and credibility circulated within the firm, and his tenure ended after roughly five years amid regulatory scrutiny. The firm never publicly explained the precise circumstances of his departure, leaving lingering questions about how and why he was allowed to advance as far as he did.After leaving Bear Stearns, Epstein repeatedly leveraged his association with the firm as a badge of legitimacy, using it to portray himself as a seasoned Wall Street insider. Contacts from that period helped him attract ultra-wealthy clients and establish himself as a private money manager operating largely outside public view. The Bear Stearns connection became central to the financial identity he cultivated, providing credibility and access that far exceeded the scope and substance of his actual work there. That early Wall Street pedigree helped open doors that would later prove critical to the scale of his wealth, influence, and reach.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    David Tuch, author of The Wireless Operator, joins Chris to tell the stranger-than-fiction story of Harold Derber—a wartime wireless operator who later ran blockade-busting weapons to Israel before reinventing marijuana smuggling in the 1970s. David explains how a loophole created by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act briefly made it legal to hold drugs in international waters—and how Derber exploited it with a “mothership” fleet, offloading tons of marijuana at sea. They break down why Deber's flagship, the Night Train, became law enforcement's obsession, built on counter-surveillance and tradecraft designed to keep informants out. The conversation then moves into Miami and Wall Street—money laundering, the Gambinos, and First Jersey Securities—alongside Derber's documented ties to Cuban intelligence.
