Gen Z leads protests against censorship and corruption, storming parliament and burning the building. 00:03:33 – Ministry of Information Tyranny The Marxist-led Ministry of Information ordered the bans, sparking a nationwide uprising. Police killed 22 protesters and wounded 300, but the prime minister and home minister were forced to resign. 00:07:20 – Internet Revolt vs. Color Revolution Unlike CIA-backed “color revolutions,” Nepal's revolt is leaderless and grassroots. Protesters used TikTok and Reddit to bypass internet blackouts, proving decentralized resistance can work. 00:12:47 – Martial Law Conditioning Commentary ties Trump's crime crackdowns to martial law conditioning. Troop deployments in U.S. cities are framed as “emergencies” to normalize military presence in civilian life. 00:19:11 – UK Frees London Bomber A UK judge frees 7/7 London bombing mastermind Rashid Aswat while mothers are jailed for social media posts.

NIO stock dropped 9% today after announcing a $1 billion share offering at an 11% discount - but is this the price of the phoenix's rise or a warning sign? Despite the dilution pain, NIO is still up 16.5% this month and 25.71% YTD.In this episode, we dive deep into why NIO needed this capital raise, how it connects to their strategic transformation we covered yesterday, and what this means for long-term investors. We'll also explore how this fits into the broader EV industry's "last mile" funding phase, with companies like Volkswagen investing €1 billion in AI development.

This week, Chris sits down with Victor Lugger, co-founder of Big Mamma and Sunday, to unpack how “invisible tech” (think: pay-at-table that just works) can lift guest experience, speed up service, and actually reduce the tech clutter on the floor. From 31 trattorias across 8 countries to Sunday now processing $4.2bn and hitting ~90% adoption in London, Victor shares the operator's lens on what matters: faster, simpler payments; more time for hospitality; and real-world KPIs that move the P&L.Why “less tech, better service” wins: replacing terminals with phone-based payment, not piling on more tools.Adoption that sticks: 70% in months → ~85–90% in the UK when teams offer the option properly.Guest experience uplift: table turns +12–16% at busy brands; reviews surge when the Google prompt sits right after payment.Tips up, teams happier: 2–4× tips (UK) and ~+12% (US) thanks to AI-powered tip prompts.Loyalty that finally works in full-service: ~52% of Sunday payers enrol vs 2–5% on terminals; earn/burn becomes seamless.Enterprise scale: POS-agnostic (24+ integrations), terminals + pay-at-table + hybrid ordering where it fits.The “guest app” vision: payment as the universal touchpoint to identify 70–100% of guests and trigger CRM/loyalty, not just bookings.00:00 Intro & sponsor: Lightspeed Restaurant01:05 Meet Victor: Big Mamma (affordable luxury) → Sunday (pay-at-table)07:20 Why paying is broken — and how Sunday made it 5-second simple12:10 Staff first: freeing servers for real hospitality, not card machines16:40 Adoption drivers: the team makes the metric21:15 Fine dining vs casual: why higher spenders adopt more25:30 Reviews & revenue: faster turns, Google love, real KPIs31:45 Loyalty that isn't cringe: enrol, earn, burn without friction38:20 US scale, data-led operators, +12% tips44:05 AI in practice: smarter tip options; ordering patterns; service recovery51:10 UK market maturity: bookings, POS, checkout, CRM56:00 What's next: Dubai & US for Big Mamma; Sunday's guest-app flywheel59:30 Where to find Sunday & wrap-up“We're not adding tech — we're replacing old tech with something guests already have in their pocket.”“Give guests the option.

Oracle (ORCL) is set to report earnings after the bell. Dan Morgan breaks down the key metrics to watch, including cloud growth, which is expected to drive long-term growth for the company. Morgan believes Oracle's cloud business is finally gaining traction, with 23 new data centers in the pipeline, and its second-generation cloud is competitive with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (MSFT) Azure, thanks to its 30% lower costs.

UK PROPERTY MARKET WEEKLY UPDATE — Week 33, 2025 Welcome to the 33rd UK Property Market Stats Show of 2025 — your go-to weekly YouTube ‘TV Programme' on the UK property market. This week, I'm joined by Iain McKenzie, the boss of the 800 Estate Agent network, The Guild of Property Professionals, as we unpack the key headlines from the 33rd week of 2025, ending Sunday, 24th August 2025 ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7XlWNAto-qI

According to The Kaplan Group, tax scams have resulted in 2025 YTD reported financial losses of $5,742,463.91.  Monthly tax scam reports rose 62% year-over-year, from 227 in 2024 to 368 in 2025, and have increased by 323% since 2020.  So what can you do to protect yourself? To help you stay safe, here are three key takeaways: The IRS will almost always contact you by MAIL first.  If you get a text, email, or surprise phone call demanding personal information or payment, it's almost certainly a scam. Phishing and "smishing" are at an all-time high.  Scammers try to lure you with messages about fake refunds, threats, or "unusual activity." Never click suspicious links or share your personal info. Double-check everything.  Unsure about a tax communication?  Review it with your tax professional, or check official IRS resources (linked on the podcast and IRS website).  Remember—the IRS won't email or text you unless you've explicitly given permission. Stay vigilant, and don't let scammers get between you and your hard-earned money! Connect with Paul Contact Paul here or schedule a time to meet with Paul here.

In this episode we answer emails from Dave, Mike, and Andy.  We discuss an inherited IRA, 529s, how historical data provides more reliable investment guidance than simulated data based on crystal balls, particularly when considering economic environments and asset correlations, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  Cleveland Rocks!And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donations:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterListener Blog Post Describing Risk Parity Concepts And Four Quadrant Model:  15 Uncorrelated Assets | SSiSBridgewater Research Paper:   Bridgewater Paper 2009.12 AW Info Pack.doc (granicus.com)Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Exhibit:  SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen...50 Years of Music | Rock & Roll Hall of FameBreathless Unedited AI-bot Summary:What happens when you try to predict market outcomes using simulated data rather than historical performance? Frank tackles this profound question by explaining why many investment simulations fail to capture the fundamental reality of how assets behave in different economic environments.Using a brilliant weather metaphor, Frank demonstrates why you "cannot have a drought and rainstorms at the same time" – just as you cannot simultaneously experience a recession and inflation. This insight explains why historical data, which shows how assets perform in specific economic conditions, provides more reliable guidance than simulations that treat each asset class as an independent variable.The episode also addresses practical financial concerns, including strategies for managing inherited IRAs subject to the 10-year distribution rule and approaches to college savings that balance tax advantages with flexibility. Frank shares his personal approach of using 529 plans primarily for state tax benefits while maintaining additional education funds in more accessible accounts.Weekly portfolio reviews reveal nearly all asset classes in positive territory this year, with gold shining brightest at +28.47% YTD. This unusual pattern reflects a weakening dollar, demonstrating how macroeconomic conditions influence asset performance across the board. The episode's exploration of base rates in forecasting also explains why predictions based on historical probabilities typically outperform crystal ball prognostications that assign outsized probabilities to possibilities rather than focusing on known patterns.For investors seeking to build robust portfolios for uncertain times, this episode offers invaluable perspective on understanding economic environments, recognizing asset correlations, and using historical data to prepare for different market conditions.

It's the Humankind 100 rankings. Here is an overview of them from their website. “The Humankind 100 celebrates the one hundred U.S. public companies with the highest Humankind Values. We believe these companies consistently work to create large amounts of value, not just for their investors, but for humanity at large. The Humankind 100 companies are ranked based on Humankind Value, a proprietary metric that provides an estimate of the overall dollar amount a company creates for investors, consumers, employees, and society at large, and are therefore among the most ethical companies in the United States, according to our research.” End quotes.

So, this next article will interest many investors. It's titled Best Lithium Mining Stocks 2025: Buy Top Mining Stocks Now. It's by Farmonaut and found on farmonaut.com. Here are some quotes by Farmonaut on each of their picks. “1. Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) headquartered in the USA, is the world's largest lithium producer… With operations spanning North America, South America, and Australia, Albemarle boasts: Diversified extraction & processing operations, including high-margin lithium brine and hard rock mining projects Ongoing investments to expand production capacity in Nevada (USA), Chile, and Australia A resilient supply chain and ability to scale output to meet global demand Strategic partnerships with leading EV battery makers Strong commitment to sustainable mining and ESG practices Albemarle's scale, geographic diversification, and innovation position it as one of the best performing mining stocks of 2025. 2. Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (or SQM) (NYSE: SQM) is South America's lithium market leader. Based in Santiago, Chile, SQM boasts some of the world's largest and lowest-cost lithium brine operations situated in the renowned Lithium Triangle (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia): Extensive lithium reserves & robust extraction technology, delivering high efficiency Geopolitical stability—Chile enjoys a relatively favorable mining regulatory environment compared to other regions Cost-effective production enables SQM to remain highly profitable even as competition heats up Continuous expansion to satisfy increasing global lithium demand for EV batteries and storage solutions Environmental sustainability programs, making SQM attractive for ESG-focused investors SQM competitive positioning ensures it remains a top choice in the best lithium mining stocks to buy for 2025. 3. Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) distinguishes itself by focusing on high-purity lithium chemicals for next-generation battery technologies.

Piedmont brings: Strategic U.S. supply source—critical for domestic battery manufacturers and government-led supply chain diversification Fast-tracked expansion projects supported by U.S. regulatory incentives and EV adoption targets Potential to benefit from blockchain-based traceability in mining—enhancing transparency for institutional investors Growing interest from global automakers and battery companies seeking secure lithium supply Piedmont's agility and domestic positioning could mean outsized growth as U.S. policy emphasizes onshoring critical battery mineral chains.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Infrastructure Stocks Powering the Next Wave of Innovations Now, like most investors, you probably are invested in AI stocks, either directly or via funds. Hence, this next article 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Infrastructure Stocks Powering the Next Wave of Innovations, should interest you. It's by Justin Pope and found on fool.com. Here is some of what Mr. Pope says about his picks. “1. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) The company has maintained its winning position as it progressed from its previous Hopper architecture to its current Blackwell chips, and it expects to launch its next-generation architecture, with a CPU called Vera and a GPU called Rubin, next year. Analysts expect Nvidia's revenue to grow to $200 billion this year and $251 billion in 2026.  2. Amazon (AMZN) Web Services (AWS) has long been the world's leading cloud platform, with about 30% of the cloud infrastructure market today. Through the cloud, companies can access and deploy AI agents, models, and other software throughout their businesses. 3. Microsoft (MSFT) Its Azure is the world's second-largest cloud platform, with a market share of approximately 21%. Microsoft stands out from the pack for its deep ties with millions of corporate clients. 4. Arista Networks (ANET) sells high-end networking switches and software that help accomplish this. The company has already thrived in this golden age of data centers, with top clients including Microsoft and Meta Platforms, which happen to also be among the highest spenders on AI infrastructure. 5. Broadcom (AVGO) which specializes in designing semiconductors used for networking applications. For example, Arista Networks utilizes Broadcom's Tomahawk and Jericho silicon in the networking switches it builds for data centers. Broadcom's AI-related semiconductor sales increased by 46% year-over-year in the second quarter.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Companies To Invest In 2025 (ECL, MSFT, UNFI) The final reviewed article for this podcast episode is titled Ethical Companies To Invest In 2025 (ECL, MSFT, UNFI) and was written by the Analyst Team and seen on asktraders.com. Now a few quotes from the article by the Team. “1. Ecolab (ECL) a global leader in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions, presents a straightforward ethical narrative. Its products and services help businesses reduce water consumption, improve hygiene standards, and prevent infections, contributing directly to public health and environmental protection… Analyst ratings remain in line with current pricing, with Wells Fargo & Company reiterating a price target of $260.00 in May 2025. With the Ecolab stock price having gained 14% since the start of the year, the company has managed to outperform the market on the period whilst holding true to it's ethical standing. While its dividend yield of approximately 1.1% is slightly higher than others on the list, its P/E ratio of around 38x indicates a similar valuation based on future earnings potential. 2. Microsoft (MSFT) presents a complex ethical profile. On one hand, its commitment to carbon neutrality, investments in renewable energy, and initiatives to bridge the digital divide are commendable… The stock's impressive 20% YTD return and a consensus analyst price target of $475 reflect market confidence in its financial stability and future growth, primarily driven by its cloud and AI segments, making it one to keep on shortlists… While Microsoft offers a modest dividend yield of around 0.7%, its high P/E ratio of approximately 36x suggests a premium valuation reflecting its growth potential rather than a focus on immediate shareholder returns. The company's low debt-to-equity ratio underscores its financial strength, allowing it to invest heavily in research and development and pursue ambitious sustainability goals. 3. United Natural Foods (UNFI) stock has pulled back ~15% this year, although remains firmly higher over the past 12 months, with a gain of more than 70%. The company, a leading distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods, presents the most challenging investment case with the recent cyber incident causing a sharp pullback in the stock. This could in fact be an opportunity… Unlike Microsoft and Ecolab, United Natural Foods does not offer a dividend, reflecting its current financial constraints. Its low P/E ratio of around 8x suggests a deeply discounted valuation, reflecting the market's skepticism about its turnaround prospects. Recent earnings on July 16 beat expectations, however, and the stock is on the move with an 8% gain immediately off the back.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest from around the world for ethical and sustainable investors 1.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Isabelle Boemeke, author of the forthcoming book, “Rad Future: The Untold Story of Nuclear Electricity and How It Will Save the World.” The book will be published on August 12 and is available for preorder here. Isabelle is a passionate advocate for nuclear energy and is also the creator of Isodope, a social media persona she uses to engage and educate the public about the benefits of nuclear power. Isabelle was involved in pushing to save the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility and has visited nuclear sites around the world. We were thrilled to hear her fresh and insightful perspectives. In our conversation, we explore nuclear energy's rapid shift in public perception and the surge in investment and media attention from just three years ago to today. We discuss the role of advocacy in changing narratives, generational differences in attitudes toward nuclear, and the decline of the organized anti-nuclear movement. Isabelle shares her perspective on international attitudes toward nuclear, the origin of Isodope and her use of social media as an educational tool, the gender gap in nuclear support, and her personal background and journey to becoming curious about nuclear energy. We touch on the nuclear industry's reception to Isabelle, including the strong support she's received from women in the field. She shares her strategy for communicating complex nuclear topics to a broader audience, the key risks facing the nuclear renaissance, and the next major hurdles the industry must overcome, particularly challenges around financing and project management. We cover public awareness of SMRs compared to large-scale nuclear, community attitudes toward nuclear, and the strong local support Isabelle has seen near existing plants. Isabelle discusses her continued focus on nuclear for the next few years, where her interests may take her in the future, her 10-year outlook for energy and climate, and more. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that broader U.S. equity markets continue to hit new all-time highs. A major driver of broader markets so far this year has been euphoria surrounding AI/Tech equities and the significant capital spending to support data centers. “Meme stock mania” seems to be rearing its head again and could be an early signal of a frothy equity market. On the energy equity front, he highlighted that both HAL and SLB have reported Q2 results and, for the most part, are guiding towards a weaker 2H25 market (especially NAM oil service pricing). Most oil service investors were hopeful Q2 would be the last quarter for downward 2025 revisions, which could be a reason why oil service stocks aren't reacting to negative downward 2025 EPS revisions. Electric Utilities are up ~13% this year and continue to be viewed as “growth” stocks. The PJM Capacity Auction posted results after the close, with pricing coming in at ~$330/mw versus last year's print of ~$270/mw. A handful of PJM exposed IPPs were up modestly after the close on the news. Mike wrapped by noting that SMR equities are up on average ~175% YTD and continue to be electricity darlings. He also flagged today's news out of Japan that Kansai Electric is reportedly exploring a plan to build the country's first nuclear plant since the Fukushima disaster in 2011. Brett Rampal peppered in his nuclear perspective and questions to the discussion. We are excited to continue following Isabelle's activities as a positive “influencer” for nuclear and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Our best to you all!

After historic price gains across the cocoa market through 2024, cocoa markets are leading the losses across agri markets through 2025 YTD. The hangover from last year's 4Q highs in cocoa prices has come to roost, and the long-awaited 2Q25 cocoa grind data has confirmed the demand destruction widely reported by the industry over recent months. However, regional disparities have become more notable. The sharp decline in cocoa prices through July falls in line with our view, amid expectations of demand-side destruction. However, we continue to caution that cocoa prices will remain structurally higher for longer.   Speaker Tracey Allen, Head of Agricultural Commodities Research   This podcast was recorded on July 18, 2025.

Remember that shiny budget and those big goals you made in January when the year felt fresh and full of possibilities? If your business (or life) looks different now than it did months ago, you're not failing, you're simply running a real business in the real world. Things shift. You adapt. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., walks you through one of her favorite CFO tools: reforecasting. It's not about starting over—it's about realigning your financial strategy with where you are right now. Key Takeaways:  Reforecasting = Realignment, Not Failure: Your original budget was based on what you knew at the time. Updating it doesn't mean you failed—it means you're leading with clarity and making strategic decisions based on your current reality.   Start with Solid Bookkeeping: Before you can reforecast, your financial foundation needs to be accurate. Without clean, up-to-date books, your forecast is a guess and isn't providing you with proper clarity. Use Actual Data + Updated Insights: Effective reforecasting combines what you know now, your business's year-to-date (YTD), with your revised budget to project the rest of the year. Reforecasting Should Be Routine: Use this tool anytime your business shifts, like if there's a change in revenue, a team adjustment, a new offer, or even a personal life change that impacts your work. Rewire Your Mindset: There's no shame in changing the plan. In fact, there's power in it. Adapting your financial strategy is a sign of leadership, not failure.  Topics Discussed: (00:19 – 01:14) Why is Reforecasting Important in Financial Planning?  (01:14 – 02:28) What is Reforecasting in Business? (03:32 – 06:12) When Should You Reforecast? (06:12 – 07:49) Real World Client Examples of Reforecasting (07:50 – 08:49) Rewiring Your Mindset Around Changing Your Plans (08:52 – 09:49) How to Reforecast Step-by-Step    Your Reforecasting Action Plan: Review your year-to-date and quarterly financials Ask yourself: What's changed? What needs to shift or stay the same?
