Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 22, 2025 is: metonymy • muh-TAH-nuh-mee • noun Metonymy refers to a figure of speech in which a word that is associated with something is used to refer to the thing itself, as when crown is used to mean “king” or “queen.” // Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood are common examples of metonymy. See the entry > Examples: “The stick used to command the crowd is called a ‘brigadier.' A brigadier is usually used to describe one who commands a military brigade, yes, but does not a stage manager lead his theater brigade? That's the idea, according to organizers. It was a term used so often to refer to a stick-wielding stage manager that, through the magic of metonymy, the stick itself is now referred to as a brigadier.” — Emma Bowman, NPR, 6 Aug. 2024 Did you know? When Mark Antony asks the people of Rome to lend him their ears in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar he is asking them to listen to him, not to literally allow him to borrow their ears. It's a classic example of the rhetorical device known as metonymy, which comes to English (via Latin) from the Greek word of the same meaning, metōnymia: the use of a word that is associated with something to refer to the thing itself. Metonymy often appears in news articles and headlines, as when journalists use the term crown to refer to a king or queen. Another common example is the use of an author's name to refer to works written by that person, as in “They are studying Austen.” Metonymy is closely related to synecdoche, which is a figure of speech in which the word for a part of something is used to refer to the thing itself (as in “need some extra hands for the project”), or less commonly, the word for a thing itself is used to refer to part of that thing (as when society denotes “high society”).

The stock market experienced a massive reversal after Nvidia announced another blowout earnings report.Nvidia, the S&P and the Nasdaq all shot higher at first...but then gravity took over.On Thursday, Nvidia opened up nearly +6% but then fell to close the day down more than -3%.

That clearly didn't happen.Does this mark a turning point?Where guidance, no matter how fantastic, can muster the buying frenzy that we've seen for years now in AI stocks?Or, is this just a temporary pullback?Lance Roberts and I discuss the odds, as well as the latest jobs data, whether the Fed is likely to cut interest rates next month, and Lance's firm's latest trades.For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this Market Recap.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

In this heartfelt episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Wil sits down with Asheville-based caterer and soon-to-be café owner Svitlana Eadie, whose journey from a small Ukrainian village to launching Slava, her café bakery on Wall Street in downtown Asheville, is nothing short of inspiring. She shares how growing up on a self-sustaining farm shaped her love for food and community, how immigrating to the U.S. with no English and no money forced her to adapt and work tirelessly, and how years in kitchens, bakeries, and hospitality strengthened her passion for sharing culture through food. Through setbacks, delays, construction challenges, and the chaos of COVID wiping out her catering business, she kept pushing, relying on grit, planning, and what she calls “experience assets.” Supported by her family, including her mother and sister, who will help run the bakery, Svitlana is building not just a café but a gathering place meant to reconnect people, share stories, and restore the kind of close-knit community she remembers from her childhood.10 Takeaways  Svitlana immigrated from a tiny Ukrainian village where community, shared food, and hospitality were woven into everyday life. She arrived in the U.S. at age 20 with no English and no money, adapting quickly by working any job she could find in hospitality. Her culinary foundation is deep, with studies in restaurant/hotel management and food science before leaving Ukraine. Her career path is broad—dishwasher, prep cook, server, banquet captain, baker, and more, including roles at Crowne Plaza, Grove Park Inn, a French bakery, and Whole Foods. She launched her catering company in 2017, which grew steadily until COVID abruptly canceled every event on her calendar. Finding the right café space took nearly four years, and once she found it, unexpected plumbing issues and contractor changes significantly delayed opening. She financed the café through disciplined saving, a HELOC, and finally a seed loan, emphasizing that nothing happened quickly or easily. Her menu will showcase traditional Ukrainian foods and recipes from her grandmother, along with breads, cakes, and familiar options for newcomers. Community is the heart of her mission—she wants the café to be a place where people talk, connect, and step away from screens. Her mindset is her superpower—optimism, resilience, gratitude, and what she calls building “experience assets” have carried her through every challenge.

Vlad Tenev built Robinhood by breaking every rule Wall Street wrote: zero commissions when competitors charged $10, mobile-first when "serious" investors demanded desktop, a brand that made finance feel like rebellion instead of a club you'd never join.By 2021 they'd forced every major brokerage to slash fees and attracted millions who'd never owned a stock, but then GameStop happened: trading restrictions during the meme stock frenzy triggered congressional hearings, user fury, and a two-year brand crisis that nearly buried them despite the real culprit being antiquated clearing mechanics no one understood. Now Tenev's pushing an even more radical vision—tokenizing private company shares so retail investors can own stakes in AI giants before IPO, turning prediction markets into "truth machines" that beat polls and pundits, and building what he calls the end of financial nihilism: a platform where your seventy-year-old parents and your Gen Z cousin both manage everything from retirement accounts to election bets in one place.The question isn't whether traditional finance survives this; it's whether Robinhood can move fast enough to own the entire wealth transfer before someone else does. Resources:Follow Vlad Tenev on X: https://x.com/vladtenevFollow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampellFollow Erik Torenberg on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: [https://x.com/a16z](https://x.com/a16z)Find a16z on LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z](https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z)Listen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: [https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX](https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX)Listen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711)Follow our host: [https://x.com/eriktorenberg](https://x.com/eriktorenberg)Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Europe's macro outlook is shifting. After years of fiscal restraint and fragmented policy, the region is entering a new chapter one centered on pro-growth fiscal policy, energy security, and capital-market reform. For investors, this transformation signals the potential for renewed momentum in European equities and fixed income.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Fundamental Equities, and Roelof Salomons, Chief Investment Strategist for Northern Europe at the BlackRock Investment Institute, about how Europe's evolving macro and investing environment is creating new opportunities across sectors.They explore how fiscal flexibility is enabling investment in productivity and innovation, how energy transition and AI demand are reshaping infrastructure and power markets, and why European banks, defense companies, and energy-efficiency leaders have emerged as standouts. The conversation also looks at the valuation gap between Europe and the U.S., the implications of potential ECB rate cuts, and what reforms could drive a broader, more durable resurgence.Key Takeaways:· Europe's shift toward fiscal flexibility marks its first explicitly pro-growth stance in over a decade.· The intersection of energy transition and AI is driving infrastructure and power investment.· Banks, defense, and efficiency-focused industrials remain strong performers.· Europe still trades at a discount to the U.S., offering selective opportunity.· Integration of capital markets could unlock long-term competitiveness.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Europe's Economic Challenges and Optimism01:10 Meet the Experts: Helen Jewell and Roelof Salomons02:17 Historical Context: Europe's Economic Journey03:51 Current Barriers and Progress in Europe05:40 Sector Focus: Defense, Banks, and Energy08:49 Fiscal Policy and Unified European Growth10:33 Energy and AI: The Long-Term Investment Landscape14:30 Valuation and Market Opportunities in Europe17:17 Conclusion: Path to a Broad Resurgence in Europe19:21 Closing Remarks and Future OutlookEurope investing; Europe macro; European equities; investing in Europe; capital-markets union; energy transition Europe; European fiscal policy; European banks; AI power demand; ECB rate cuts; BlackRock Investment Institute; European defense; valuation gap; competitiveness in EuropeSources: “What's needed for an investment renaissance in Europe?”, BlackRock Investment Institute, October 2025; NATO, August 2025; BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis, September 2025; “Entering The Age of Electricity”, IEA Electricity Demand 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

AI Startup Funding Models Gerry Hays, a professor of venture capital with 21 years of experience and a history of investing in 75 startups, discussed his work in supporting founders to create AI-focused startups through a grant-based funding model. He explained their "Venture Staking" system, which allows individuals to invest small amounts of money in startups early on, with the potential to earn 10x returns if the company succeeds. Michael shared his experience working in IT during the dot-com era and emphasized the importance of accessible funding for new businesses, highlighting how Gerry's approach provides an alternative to traditional VC funding by building a community of potential investors. Community-Driven Investment Transformations Michael and Gerry discussed the transformative power of community-driven investing, emphasizing its potential to foster genuine interest and engagement in ventures beyond mere financial returns. Michael highlighted how such investments create a sense of belonging and collaboration, comparing it to cheering for a team, while Gerry stressed the future importance of community and networks in startups, contrasting them with easily replicable software. They agreed that early participation in ventures offers significant advantages, including learning opportunities and potential financial gains, as well as the chance to be part of a community that drives innovation and growth. Alternative Investments: Volatility and Returns Michael discussed the high volatility and potential for significant returns in alternative investment platforms, contrasting them with traditional stock markets where 52% of Fortune 500 companies from 2000 have since disappeared. He emphasized the transformative nature of current market shifts and the importance of active engagement in investments, which fosters community and deeper research. Michael highlighted how such platforms encourage users to delve into detailed analysis, unlike the surface-level engagement often seen on social media. AI and Entrepreneurship Growth Strategies Michael and Gerry discussed the value of experience in entrepreneurship and the importance of regular updates to investors for accountability. They highlighted how AI, like previous tools like the internet, can enhance business operations but should be used as a tool rather than a replacement for human expertise. Gerry emphasized the potential for small investments in innovative businesses to grow significantly, citing the rise of no-code tools and AI as enablers of this transformation. Adapting to Startup Challenges Michael and Gerry discussed the importance of adaptability and risk-taking in the startup world, using examples like Pets.com and Comscore Networks to illustrate the challenges and opportunities faced by early-stage companies. Gerry explained the unique features of Dorio.com, a platform that allows non-accredited investors to test the waters and gain insights into startups before making larger investments. They emphasized the value of calculated risk-taking and the platform's ability to make venture capital more accessible to a wider audience. Michael encouraged listeners to explore Dorio.com as a potential holiday gift or investment opportunity.   About Gerry Hays Gerry Hays is redefining how startups are funded—and who gets to participate. As the founder of Doriot and the creator of VentureStaking™, a patent-pending investment model, Gerry is challenging the traditional venture capital system and opening the door for everyday people to invest in high-growth startups—without needing to write a five-figure check or place risky early bets. With more than 25 years of experience as a serial founder and startup investor, Gerry has successfully launched, scaled, and exited multiple companies. He's taught entrepreneurial finance and venture capital at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, where he mentored hundreds of emerging founders across the globe. Gerry is also the author of the 5-star-rated book, The First-Time Founder's Equity Bible, a practical guide that demystifies equity structures and funding for new entrepreneurs. He created Fantasy Startup®, the world's #1 startup investing simulation with over 14,000 downloads. And in his push to democratize access to private markets, he developed the QAI (Qualified Accredited Investor) Certification, empowering non-traditional investors to confidently and knowledgeably enter the world of private equity. But Gerry's mission goes far beyond credentials. Through Doriot and the VentureStaking™ model, he's flipping the script on startup investing. Instead of gambling early like traditional angels or waiting for IPO access on Wall Street, investors can now earn the option to invest in startups once they've begun to succeed—radically lowering risk and broadening participation. This isn't crowdfunding. It's a smarter, more inclusive, and capital-efficient way to back innovation—and benefit from it. What your audience will take away: How to begin startup investing with as little as $10 Why VentureStaking™ may be the most game-changing asset class since crypto How access to private markets is being reimagined for the 99% What it really means to own equity in the next unicorn—before Silicon Valley gets in If your show dives into entrepreneurship, disruption, financial empowerment, or emerging investment trends, Gerry Hays will bring bold, practical insights—and a roadmap for how your audience can take a real stake in the future.

The AI boom is the biggest investment mania in decades, channeling trillions of dollars into data center infrastructure.  If investors bet right, they may usher in technological breakthroughs that produce vast wealth.  If they're wrong, they could crash the U.S. stock market, trigger a recession, and spread financial contagion globally.Ed Zitron was among the first to call AI a bubble.  His unsparing deep dives into AI finances are must-reads, even for his critics.  In a spirited back-and-forth on The World Unpacked, Ed and host Jon Bateman debate Wall Street's “unhealthy relationship” with Nvidia, if China has its own AI bubble, and whether ChatGPT should give tax advice.Find the episode transcript and streaming audio, and get the show direct to your inbox, here: https://carnegieendowment.org/podcasts/the-world-unpacked/ais-biggest-skeptic-sees-a-bubble? Follow Jon on X: https://x.com/JonKBateman   

Settlement agreements reached with Jeffrey Epstein's estate included a little-noticed carveout that allowed some survivors to continue pursuing claims against powerful figures connected to Epstein, even after accepting compensation. These provisions weren't accidental; they were crafted to preserve the ability to target individuals believed to have played a role beyond Epstein himself. At least one survivor signaled plans to use that pathway to bring legal action against high-profile Wall Street executives Leon Black and Jes Staley, asserting that accountability should extend to those who enabled, protected, or benefitted from Epstein's operations.The existence of these carveouts shifted the landscape of post-Epstein litigation. Instead of closing the book on the case, the settlements effectively opened new fronts — placing influential financiers back under scrutiny and raising the possibility of additional lawsuits that could broaden public understanding of the network surrounding Epstein. It reflected a larger sentiment among survivors: Epstein may be gone, but the system that supported him was far from dismantled, and there remained unfinished business in pursuit of the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Zach Jonson, senior portfolio manager at Stack Financial Management, says the stock market is facing a trifecta of bear-market risks that could lead to "one of the great bear markets of our lifetime," with losses surpassing 40 percent and lasting for as long as 18 months when it finally bursts. Despite that, he says there are ways to "invest through it," and that's precisely what he is doing, because despite bubble conditions, there are pockets of value and there could still be a lot of market upside until the inevitable pop of this balloon. But the talk starts today with an interview recorded at Wednesday's Active Investment Company Alliance Fall Round Table in New York City, with David Tepper of Tepper Capital Management revisiting past selections of some classic funds he has held for years and their prospects for the future, plus his outlook on the potential dangers of private credit, what he is worried about if the economy turns and more. Charles Rotblut, vice president of the American Association of Individual Investors, discusses the latest AAII Sentiment Survey, which showed that bearish sentiment was actually decreasing as the market pulled back from record highs, and how high levels of bearish sentiment — which the market has seen for the last year — are part of what lets Wall Street climb the proverbial "Wall of Worry." In the Market Call, Daniel Dusina, director of investments at Blue Chip Partners, talks about how he goes about finding "unappreciated quality" at a time when the market itself has appreciated to near record levels.

Ann Vandersteel sits down with early Abaxx investor Joseph Metcalf, CIO Gourdet-Metcalf, to unpack one of the most compelling financial revolutions of our time. From the creation of the world's first physically-deliverable LNG and carbon futures to the tokenization of real-world collateral through Abaxx's Digital Title Framework, this episode explores how Abaxx is redefining the infrastructure of global trade.We'll break down how this Singapore-based exchange differs from SWIFT, blockchain, and Wall Street's tokenization narrative — and why Abaxx's fusion of law, identity, and technology could unlock a trillion-dollar commodities transformation.https://abaxx.exchange/https://www.abaxx.tech/

Michigan Representative John Moolenaar is a national treasure.  As chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, he's led opposition to Wall Street's ongoing practice of “funding our demise.” In a recent interview on “Securing America,” Chairman Moolenaar declared: “We see these situations where American investor dollars unknowingly are either advancing…Chinese slave labor or cooperation with the Chinese military industrial complex. And that's just wrong. But we need to make it illegal, and we need to [enact] legislation, as well as cooperation with the executive branch, to shut that down.” A PresentDangerChina.org webinar today featuring Mr. Moolenaar's leadership, will showcase an immediate corrective: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins can swiftly, and unilaterally, terminate a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding that allows CCP companies uniquely to ignore our securities laws and regulations.  Stop financing our demise! This is Frank Gaffney.

There's a lot to keep on the docket for Friday's trading action. Kevin Green helps round up all the data for investors. In the latest University of Michigan consumer sentiment report, the figure came in lower than the prior number but still beat Wall Street's estimates. However, KG notes ISM manufacturing continuing to contract as something investors need to watch. He later pins the slide in lithium stocks to a major mine in China reopening. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/surface-metals-csesur-former-lithium-player-pivots-to-nevada-gold-with-walker-lane-project-7467Recording date: 21st November 2025Surface Metals Inc. (CSE: SUR) has strategically positioned itself across two commodity cycles through its April 2025 acquisition of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada whilst maintaining a diversified lithium portfolio anchored by a 300,000+ ton LCE resource at Clayton Valley, California. This dual-commodity approach provides investors with exposure to gold's current bull market and lithium's structural electrification demand.Following recent meetings on Wall Street and Bay Street, President and CEO Steve Hanson reports renewed institutional appetite for junior and mid-cap mining opportunities. Major banks including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC forecast gold reaching $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by central bank accumulation, interest rate dynamics, and geopolitical tensions. Simultaneously, lithium markets show stabilisation following the 2023-2024 correction, with institutional interest returning to quality projects.The Cimarron gold project, located in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane trend approximately 35 kilometres south of Kinross's Round Mountain mine, benefits from extensive historical work conducted by Newmont and Echo Bay during the 1980s-1990s. Surface Metals has digitised this historical database and created three-dimensional geological models, positioning the company to commence phase one drilling in early 2026 with clear targeting rationale. The programme aims to confirm historical high-grade intercepts, validate a non-43-101 compliant resource, and expand towards a million-ounce target. Shallow oxide mineralisation suggests potential heap leach processing economics - a lower-cost development pathway relevant for junior companies.Surface Metals' lithium portfolio demonstrates geographic and geological diversification across three projects. The Clayton Valley brine project sits immediately northwest of Albemarle's Silver Peak operation - North America's only producing lithium brine facility operational since 1966. The company targets a preliminary economic assessment in 2026, evaluating direct lithium extraction technology offering faster processing and higher recovery versus traditional evaporation ponds. Neighbouring operator SLB's 2025 demonstration facility successfully produced lithium from similar brine chemistry, de-risking technology application.Fish Lake Valley represents exposure to sedimentary claystone lithium mineralisation, sitting contiguous to Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge project backed by Ford, Toyota, and Panasonic offtakes with 2026 construction commencement planned. Surface Metals actively seeks joint venture partners to fund initial drilling. In Manitoba, NASDAQ-listed Snow Lake Resources earns into the company's pegmatite project through funded exploration whilst Surface Metals maintains carried interest without capital outlay.Capital efficiency distinguishes Surface Metals' approach. The company has reduced operational costs whilst advancing projects through partnership structures and targeted technical work avoiding dilutive capital raises during unfavourable market conditions. Sector consolidation reduced lithium-focused companies from 200-250 to approximately 60, with Surface Metals amongst survivors maintaining intact portfolio positioning to capture recovery momentum.Management contemplates multiple value realisation pathways including asset sales, joint ventures, or corporate restructuring to separate gold and lithium portfolios. In market conditions where commodities experience distinct cycles, portfolio separation could unlock valuation disparities whilst providing shareholders direct exposure to preferred commodity themes.All projects benefit from tier-one North American jurisdictions with established infrastructure, proximity to operating mines, and relatively streamlined permitting. Nevada exploration permits typically achieved in 90-120 days. As gold supply deficits emerge from major producers exhausting high-grade reserves, and lithium supply security achieves strategic priority, Surface Metals' portfolio positioning addresses structural market dynamics favouring quality junior mining opportunities in premier jurisdictions.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Recorded November 19, 2025, from the Benchmark Conference in Los Angeles.In this critical episode of The Compass, Sam Pelaez (President, CEO & CIO of Olive Resource Capital) and Derek Macpherson (Executive Chairman of Olive) dissect a fundamental shift occurring in mining project finance as traditional debt-equity structures replace the exotic capital arrangements that dominated recent years.KEY TOPICS COVERED:Troilus Gold's Financing BreakthroughThe expanded debt facility announcement signals developers can now credibly finance construction independently rather than depending entirely on takeovers. At $4,100 gold, project profitability has driven down the cost of capital materially, enabling traditional banking structures instead of 20%+ private equity arrangements."The Generalists Are Coming"Nine-figure equity financings now occur weekly, with non-resource institutions like Fidelity regularly participating. This marks a dramatic expansion of available capital pools beyond traditional mining investors and validates the sector's investment thesis to Wall Street.Year-End Market DynamicsNo tax loss selling pressure this year as most mining equities are substantially higher than purchase points. However, seasonal liquidity constraints from holiday spending may create temporary dislocations and attractive entry points ahead of typically strong Q1 performance.Flow-Through Financing RushCanadian flow-through funds must deploy 2025 capital before December 31st, creating a year-end rush of placements working down the capitalisation spectrum from larger companies to progressively smaller explorers.Building as Negotiating LeverageDevelopers who can credibly "threaten to build" maintain stronger negotiating positions with potential acquirers. Clean capital structures without permanent streaming impairments make projects more valuable takeover targets post-construction.Why This Matters:Traditional banking institutions have long been willing to finance mining projects but were constrained by developers' inability to assemble the equity component without destroying capital structures. With both debt and equity now accessible at reasonable rates, a select group of well-positioned developers may advance independently, populating the mid-tier producer pipeline essential for an industry facing depletion of existing assets.ABOUT OLIVE RESOURCE CAPITAL:Olive Resource Capital is a specialist mining investment fund focused on precious metals, base metals, and battery metals across the development and production spectrum.

Tonight's Triple Feature—Showgirls, Striptease, Hustlers—tracks 30 years of America wrestling with sex, money, and power. Showgirls (1995) is Verhoeven's neon nuclear satire, the American Dream as a Vegas buzzsaw. Striptease (1996) shifts to Florida grime, looking and feeling like Road House with a pole—sweaty bars, corrupt politics, and Demi Moore surviving a world rigged against single moms. By 2019, Hustlers flips the script: Ramona and her crew turn the strip club into a recession-era hustle, treating sex work as labor and revenge on Wall Street. Different decades, different aesthetics, same spine: women navigating systems built by men and reshaped by money.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

On today's podcast:1) Global stocks are poised for their worst week in seven months as concerns over lofty valuations and whether massive investments in artificial intelligence will pay off prompt investors to retreat from riskier assets. The MSCI All Country World Index has slumped 3.1% this week, putting it on track for its sharpest weekly drop since April 4, when President Trump’s tariffs rattled markets. Bitcoin fell below $84,000, extending its drop from an all-time high less than seven weeks ago to more than 30%. European and Asian shares were also set for their biggest weekly decline since April after Wall Street’s Thursday selloff. Sentiment remained fragile for US assets, with S&P 500 futures fluctuating after the benchmark slipped to its weakest level since September.2) Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said she’s approaching next month’s rate-setting meeting with caution, though she remains more concerned about weaknesses in the job market. “Each rate cut brings us closer to the level where policy flips from restraining activity a bit to the place where it is providing a boost. So, I am approaching the December FOMC cautiously,” Paulson said Thursday, referring to next month’s gathering of the Federal Open Market Committee. “Each rate cut raises the bar for the next cut.” Deep divisions have emerged among policymakers after they lowered rates at two consecutive meetings. Some remain concerned more by weakness in the labor market while others have expressed growing worry over inflation. The lack of official data during the long government shutdown has also blurred policymakers’ view of the economy.3) President Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani are set to meet at the White House on Friday, the president said in a social media post. The meeting marks the first time the two leaders will come together to discuss how they can work with each other since the election earlier this month. Mamdani was elected as mayor of New York City after campaigning on a progressive platform that includes freezing the rent on more than 1 million stabilized apartments, providing universal child care, funding free buses and operating city-owned grocery stores. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is seeking higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy to pay for his agenda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

U.S. markets experience their largest single-day reversal since April with the Nasdaq plunging from a high of 2.5 per cent to end the session more than 2 per cent in the red. Following a strong jobs report, investors are now cutting the odds of a final interest rate cut for the year next month. Asia has followed suit overnight with tech stocks selling off while futures in Europe also point south. A U.S.-brokered peace agreement for Ukraine will reportedly demand key concessions from Kyiv which could include ceding land it currently controls as well as giving up its bid for NATO membership.

PREVIEW Chris Riegel discusses retail traffic and the latest jobs numbers, which surprised Wall Street. The conversation addresses widespread layoffs at major companies like Target and Amazon. They debate whether these layoffs signal an economic slowdown or are a result of artificial intelligence replacing employee headcount. Guest: Chris Riegel.

You can't negotiate the necessary. GOD don't cut deals on Discipline, and HE ain't lowering the price of elevation because you tired. If you want Wealth, Freedom, and Ownership, you gotta pay full cost—sacrifice, consistency, and execution on Days when nobody's clapping. This business game is spiritual first: your mindset is the altar, your habits are the offering, and your results are the testimony. Generational wealth ain't something you hope for,... it's something you become worthy of. When you accept that the Necessary is Non-Negotiable, you stop running from the process and start Respecting the Path. Every seed you plant in obedience becomes a harvest your family will inherit. This is covenant work. This is legacy work. And once you embrace the grind GOD aligned for you, you walk like someone who knows their abundance was already written. You Can't Negotiate The Necessary | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 169) Trappin Tuesdays
