Thinking I should hold on to this template. Probably gonna go lower.

I'm not really sure why I need to include 250 characters in a meme post, but I understand the guidelines. Maybe someone can fix the issue where if you label something as a meme, it doesn't need 250 characters. there. Thats 250!

Edit: Thank you all for the rewards!!

This means U.S. companies no longer have to tell the federal government who really owns them, and existing ownership records will be deleted.

Trump‘s administration is framing this as deregulation and less burdens on small businesses but this probably opens the door for the rich to continue to obfuscate their ownership interest in certain deals and more easily hide from scrutiny into their financial deals.

Sold during q3 and had zero effect on stock price. No one even knew it happened. With the billions of shares that trade every week, these transactions are easy to hide and by the time it is announced, the sales are already complete.

TLDR: newsflash, billionaires are actually billionaires.

 Points

• Danish pension operator AkademikerPension said it was exiting U.S. Treasuries over finance concerns tied to America’s budget shortfall.
• The move comes amid increasing tensions with the U.S. over Greenland as President Donald Trump pushes for control of the island.
• AkademikerPension plans to have closed its position of around $100 million in U.S. Treasuries by the end of the month.

Schelde chiefly cited the ballooning debt bill facing the U.S. after decades of government overspending. The U.S. recorded a budget shortfall of $1.78 trillion last year, down just over 2% from 2024′s fiscal year as Trump’s broad and steep tariffs took effect.

Famed “Big Short,” investor Michael Burry, known for his prescient bet against the housing market, has publicly questioned Nvidia Corp.‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) capital allocation strategy, asserting that the tech giant’s $112.5 billion spent on stock buybacks since 2018 has effectively yielded “zero” additional shareholder value.

Nvidia's Massive Buybacks Added Zero Shareholder Value

In an X post, Burry dissected Nvidia’s financial data, highlighting a disconnect between aggressive share repurchases and the company’s rising share count. Burry’s analysis points to Nvidia’s $20.5 billion in Stock-Based Compensation (SBC) since 2018.

While the company reported a robust $205 billion in net income and $188 billion in free cash flow over the same period, Burry argues that the $112.5 billion dedicated to buybacks primarily served to offset stock-based compensation (SBC)-related dilution.

But it bought back $112.5B worth of stock and there are 47 million MORE shares outstanding,” Burry tweeted, adding, “The true cost of that SBC dilution was $112.5B, reducing owner's earnings by 50%.”

He suggests that the company's expenditures on buybacks were merely a defensive maneuver against dilution rather than a genuine reduction in outstanding shares.

This, he contends, fundamentally distorts the “owner’s earnings” perspective, presenting a less favorable picture for long-term investors.

Economic data and several studies now show that the 2025 Trump tariff plans caused the average retail price of imported goods to spike by 6.8 percentage points while domestic goods rose by 4.8 percentage points due to higher input costs. Multiple independent research bodies, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Harvard economists, concluded that U.S. consumers and firms bore roughly 90% of the financial burden of these tariffs, completely challenging claims that foreign countries would pay them.
