Zeta Global might emerge as the winner, considering its small market capitalization and ample room for growth.

Solid list.

Big fan of Applovin and Coreweave. Wish I bought more of Applovin when it dropped close to $200 in April.

$35 in April...








I’m seriously considering researching Zeta Global to determine if it’s a viable investment. The stock hasn’t experienced significant movement in over a year, and it has somewhat declined. I believe it has dropped by approximately 50% in the past 9 months.

Whether you're planning for big future expenses, looking to generate reliable income, or just want to diversify your investments, a gilt ladder can be a powerful tool. Think of it like a DIY annuity, but with a twist: more control and more flexibility. In this video, I’ll show you how to build a bond ladder from scratch, how to manage it over time, and how to optimise it for cost and tax. But most importantly, I’ll explain why flexibility is the true superpower of a bond ladder — and how you can use that to your advantage.

Alibaba's success caused Jack Ma to forget he was CCP. You right, he lucky they didn't kill him.

A bit too pessimistic, but the concerns are valid. I'm not sure what's the play for Intel at this point.

CPI steady. Tariffs paused. Cash loaded.

Happy Tuesday!

After a long break from moving, I’m back! Let’s jump in with recapping today’s CPI report:

Top line:
Headline CPI: +0.2% m/m (vs. +0.3% in June) and +2.7% y/y (unchanged).

Core CPI (ex-food & energy): +0.3% m/m (vs. +0.2%) and +3.1% y/y (up from 2.9%).

What moved it
Shelter: +0.2% m/m; rent & OER +0.3% each. Still the main driver of the monthly gain. +3.7% y/y.

Food: Flat m/m. Grocery −0.1%, eating out +0.3%. +2.9% y/y.

Energy: −1.1% m/m with gasoline −2.2%. −1.6% y/y.

Notables in services/goods: Airline fares +4.0% m/m, medical care +0.7%, used cars +0.5%; communication −0.3%, lodging away from home −1.0%.


Cash Pile Watchout
Inflow: +$76.2B into U.S. money market funds last week, lifting assets to $7.15T. That’s a +1.08% week-over-week jump.

Mix: Government MMFs +$67.5B; Prime MMFs +$7.9B; Tax-exempt +$0.8B. Government funds are doing the heavy lifting.


Why it moved: Tariff headlines + softer U.S. data pushed investors to park cash short-term.

Scale check : The cash pile is ~$7.1T—is near record territory and still huge relative to history. Think of it as “dry powder” that can swing sentiment if yields fall.

Tariff truce: 90 more days
The U.S. and China extended the tariff pause through Nov 10. That prevents rates from snapping higher near-term and cools the immediate inflation impulse into the holidays. Good for risk sentiment, not a peace treaty

My View: Tariffs haven’t even partially been accounted for in prices. Today’s report will mislead people into feeling overly secure. But in looking at money market cash flows, institutional investors are getting defensive. I’ve spoken with several retailers and distributors and they are being hit hard with cost increases. Most all of them have policies that cost increases must be submitted 90 days in advance. You do the math!

Thanks,

Brian


Tip — Audit your broker’s cash sweep (2 minutes, real money)
Do this now: Compare your sweep rate (the default holding pen for idle cash) vs a government money market fund (MMF). Move idle cash if the spread is meaningful.

Find your sweep APR on your statement/dashboard; firms must disclose options.

MMFs aren’t FDIC-insured; bank sweeps are—different safety/structure. Know the trade-offs.

For market context, see ICI’s weekly MMF stats and the FDIC’s national rate caps (what banks generally pay).
