Van Lanschot Kempen CEO & Chairman of the Management Board Acquires 87% More Stock

Yahoo21-03-2025

Van Lanschot Kempen NV (AMS:VLK) shareholders (or potential shareholders) will be happy to see that the CEO & Chairman of the Management Board, Maarten Edixhoven, recently bought a whopping €1.8m worth of stock, at a price of €45.32. That purchase boosted their holding by 87%, which makes us wonder if the move was inspired by quietly confident deeply-felt optimism.
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
In fact, the recent purchase by Maarten Edixhoven was the biggest purchase of Van Lanschot Kempen shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That implies that an insider found the current price of €48.45 per share to be enticing. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider purchases were made at close to current prices.
In the last twelve months Van Lanschot Kempen insiders were buying shares, but not selling.

Van Lanschot Kempen insiders own about €79m worth of shares. That equates to 3.9% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
The recent insider purchases are heartening. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of Van Lanschot Kempen we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.

Mom buys product she thought was U.S.-made, but warns of misleading labels

As President Trump's trade war continues, some consumers are searching for products made in the U.S. When Mary Schubart set out to buy bedding for her twins heading off to college, she was looking for products that were safe, provided comfort and, if possible, she wanted to buy American-made. "I like the idea of buying to support the local economy, but my overriding concern was safer," Schubart said. Schubart said she thought she found the perfect mattress pads from Pottery Barn Teen. It was advertised online as "crafted in the USA," but when they arrived, she was surprised to see one of the tags read "made in China." "I knew it is one of the countries that has less stringent regulations pertaining to health and pertaining to final product production, so I was disappointed," she said. Schubart reported her findings to Truth in Advertising, a nonprofit watchdog group that investigates when companies make false claims. Laura Smith, the Truth in Advertising legal director, said they had already flagged false claims by Pottery Barn Teen to the Federal Trade Commission. "We had found 800-plus examples of products marketed as 'made in the USA' or 'crafted in America' when they were actually imported," Smith said, of the merchandise found on seven William Sonoma websites in 2019. Schubart's complaint led to the largest "Made in the USA" civil penalty in history, with more than $3 million against Williams Sonoma, the parent company of Pottery Barn Teen. In a statement, Williams Sonoma apologized for what it called an "administrative mistake," saying, "Last year, we received an FTC fine due to an unintentional administrative mistake associated with the online product descriptions of seven items we sell. We are deeply sorry for any confusion that may have been caused by the inaccurate information that was shared, and we have improved our processes to help prevent similar incidents in the future." "Civil penalties, as long as they're more than a slap on the wrist, they can have a real impact. But it needs to be a fine that's big enough to hurt," Smith said. What qualifies as "Made in the USA?" The Federal Trade Commission requires that products advertised as "Made in the USA" be all or virtually all manufactured domestically. Plus, the ingredients or components must be made and sourced in the United States, which is the issue in a current lawsuit against Reynolds Aluminum foil for its "Made in the USA" label. The suit claims the product's key raw material, Bauxite, is not mined in the U.S. Reynolds says the claims have no merit and it will defend the case. How to know if a product is American-made Amid Mr. Trump's tariffs on certain products, some companies have said they plan to invest more in U.S. manufacturing. To verify if a product is "Made in the USA," check the label for that exact wording. Beware of qualifying language like "Assembled in the USA" or "with imported parts." If you're unsure, consumers can verify with the brand by going to its website or calling directly.

US May Exhaust Debt-Ceiling Measures in Mid-August, CBO Says

(Bloomberg) — The US government could run out of enough funds to meet its financial obligations in a timely manner between mid-August and the end of September, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The updated estimate from the nonpartisan CBO pushes back the so-called X date by at least two weeks from what it previously projected in March. That potentially gives Congress additional runway to negotiate a deal to increase federal borrowing authority as part of President Donald Trump's tax-cut package. The debt limit kicked back in at the start of the year, since when the Treasury has been using special accounting maneuvers to keep from breaching the ceiling and still make good on federal obligations on time. Republicans attached a measure that would give the Treasury trillions of dollars more in additional borrowing authority to Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' That legislation is now being hashed over in the Senate. 'CBO now estimates that if the debt limit remains unchanged, the government's ability to borrow using extraordinary measures would probably be exhausted between mid-August and the end of September 2025,' the agency wrote in its Monthly Budget Review released Monday. Data on revenue and spending over the past three months, 'which were consistent with expectations, reduced the potential for those measures to be exhausted early in August,' the CBO said. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged Republicans to pass the measure boosting the $36.1 trillion debt ceiling by mid-July. The Treasury Department released its own estimate last month, warning the US could run out of capacity to pay its bills on time in August.
