  • Stock Advisor has a total average return of 993% compared to 207% for the S&P 500.

  • Investors should reduce exposure to QE-dependent stocks, increase exposure to financials like Berkshire Hathaway, shift bonds to shorter durations, build cash, and maintain a long-term perspective.

    60% confidence
  • A shrinking Fed balance sheet won't be catastrophic; markets will adapt over time to any changes under Warsh's leadership.

    60% confidence
  • Kevin Warsh wants to aggressively reduce the Fed's balance sheet and believes the Fed should use interest rates rather than its balance sheet as a policy tool.

    60% confidence

What we're seeing
Enterprise Software Races to Govern and Consolidate Around Agentic AI
Enterprise software vendors are repositioning around autonomous AI agents. Salesforce is acquiring Braze, ServiceNow is launching agent governance tools (AI Passport, Super Intelligence Control Tower), SAP is pushing its 'Autonomous Enterprise', and Zeta is launching AthenaOS and its own inference model. Palantir is embedding itself in banking, aviation and sovereign AI infrastructure through partnerships with Customers Bank, Surf Air, Ondas and Armada. Governance, data sovereignty and enforced policy are emerging as preconditions for regulated sectors like finance. Investors such as Norwest see room to disrupt ERP and finance software, and they caution that AI should not be trusted with financial calculations. Consolidation and shareholder disputes (Salesforce/Braze, Tiny/Oso Cloud, ZenaTech/Boardwalktech) show the market reshaping.

Where sources disagree
Ford Motor Company
Both facts give cash for Ford Motor Company at the same point in time (2025-12-31; FY 2025 year-end and Q4 2025 year-end are the same date). Both are labelled USD, but the values are 23,356,000,000 and 23.356, which cannot both be true in USD. The two numbers agree once the second is read as billions (23.356 bn = 23,356,000,000), so the economic content is consistent and the conflict is a unit/scale error in the Q4 2025 record. The period is not the reason for the conflict: a Q4 and an FY figure at the same year-end date should match.
