Our father brought his dreams to life. That makes him a superhero to us.
This weekend, fortunate families everywhere will celebrate fathers. Maybe you're thinking of the lessons learned from your dad ― from baseball to fishing or, in our case, in business. As leaders of a global aerospace and defense business started by our dad, every day we walk halls that were dreamed of, hustled for and quite literally paved by our father. We recognize that's a gift. As the years go by, we find ourselves reflecting on our company's humble beginnings and everything Dad did to build this company. As brothers, we have had front row seats to the evolution of a family business, and our core values are rooted in how that business was started. It started with our own personal superhero. In our eyes, our father, Phil Busey Sr., has always been a giant among men. As young boys growing up, we did not know exactly what a lawyer was. We just knew our dad worked hard, dressed in great-looking suits, kept an office at the house and had a nice office in a big building in downtown Oklahoma City. He had a car phone in his superfast red Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo in addition to a phone in his briefcase. Physically, he was to be admired. A former college baseball player, Dad ran laps around the block most evenings and lifted weights often. He was the most muscular dad on the block. We considered him a real-life Superman. His career had its share of turns over the years. By the time we reached the later years of high school, the financial pendulum had swung in a different direction. We watched and admired our dad's continued work ethic in the face of challenge after challenge. More: Father's best advice: Only back your car up as much as necessary; don't go overboard | Opinion By the time we were in college, our dad was driving a beat-up Mercury Sable. Refusing to take on debt for our college education, he made the drive to Weatherford to take us to the Southwestern Oklahoma State University bursar office to pay for our education little by little. Still a physical presence as always, he made sure to teach us the importance of good education, financial stewardship and putting family above all else. He would often preach to us that blood is the thickest of bonds. Our dad began building Delaware Resource Group (DRG) when we were in college. Not long after the company was formed in 2002, times started to get better. Recognizing the major risk he and our mom put themselves in to start the business, Dad seized the opportunity to build something big and opened the door for us to join him for the ride. Just a few short years after DRG was formed, we joined the company full-time. Dad was quick to include us in all aspects of the growing business. He taught us how to manage, observe and deliver what the customer expected. Most importantly, he taught us about respecting all people and treating everyone with care and kindness. Opinion: Today's young men are doing worse than their fathers. How can we fix that? Dad's health took a major turn just over 11 years ago. Our muscular, athletic father was stricken with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and forced into a wheelchair. Despite this, he continues to teach us lessons in business and now in fatherhood, as we try to follow his example with our own children. We continue to admire the love and support he shows our sister in her pursuits educating young people, as well as the unwavering commitment he has shown our mom through the years. Because of all he has accomplished, his outlook on life, mortality and finding joy in everything life offers has become far more amplified. Today, the global business our father founded continues to grow, and because of him, it is making a lasting impact in Oklahoma City and across the world. While he retired from DRG over two years ago, he remains a presence in our halls, but more importantly, in our lives. We are forever grateful. Brian Busey and Philip Busey Jr. are the CEO and president, respectively, of Delaware Resource Group, an Oklahoma City-based aerospace defense company founded by their father in 2002.

Costco to make generous offer to frustrated phone customers
Costco (COST) , the largest warehouse club in the U.S., has been gaining a leg up on its competitors as its membership numbers continue to grow rapidly. During the first quarter of 2025, the number of Costco's paid household members increased to 78.4 million, up 6.8% compared to last year. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter This comes at a time when Costco's products and deals continue to go viral on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Related: Costco quietly plans to offer a convenient service for customers Costco's U.S. comparable sales also spiked by 8.3% year-over-year during the quarter. This contributed to its net income of $1.7 billion, which is 2% higher than what it earned during the same quarter a year ago. Costco even outperformed its competitors by drawing in higher levels of foot traffic during the quarter. While Costco's foot traffic climbed by 6% year-over-year, Sam's Club's only increased by 2.7% and BJ's spiked by 4%, according to recent data from Image source: VIEWpress/Getty Images As Costco welcomes new members to its warehouses, it reportedly plans to launch a generous new deal next week that targets members who are frustrated with their current phone plans. According to a recent report from Costco Insider, Costco's July 2025 Coupon Book will feature a deal that offers members $450 if they switch to T-Mobile (TMUS) and purchase/activate a new phone on either its Experience More or Experience Beyond plan. Related: Costco quietly limits customer purchases of a beloved product Members who switch from AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity, Spectrum, USCellular, Claro, or Liberty Puerto Rico will receive a $200 Costco Shop card and a $250 Virtual Visa prepaid card, equivalent to $450. Customers can even stack the deal, meaning they can receive up to 12 $200 Costco Shop cards and a maximum of four $250 Visa cards if they add 12 lines to the account. The promotion is valid between June 18 and July 20. Costco's upcoming deal comes amid an exodus of T-Mobile phone customers after the provider implemented a series of price hikes. The phone carrier revealed in its first-quarter earnings report for 2025 that the number of customers who cut their phone service increased by 5 basis points year-over-year. Also, while T-Mobile added 495,000 new postpaid phone customers during the quarter, that number is 6% lower than the amount it welcomed during the same time period last year. More Retail: Costco quietly plans to offer a convenient service for customersT-Mobile pulls the plug on generous offer, angering customersKellogg sounds alarm on unexpected shift in customer behavior During an earnings call in April, T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said the recent spike in churn is mainly due to consumers becoming more nervous about the state of the economy. "So overall, you saw across the industry churn was just on the margin a little elevated, and I think there's a number of dynamics there," said Sievert during the call. "That probably has more to do with kind of macro questions than with competition. You know, I think there's a certain element out there where people are in a time of uncertainty about the future, grabbing what they can afford now. And so you're seeing [more customer] upgrades and switching." Amid this concerning trend, many consumers have been flocking to cable companies to sign up for phone plans. Spectrum, Comcast, and Altice USA have added 886,000 new phone customers during the first three months of 2025, which is up from the 804,000 it added during the same time period last year, according to a recent report from MoffettNathanson.

The Israel-Iran conflict is shaking the markets — but nervous investors aren't panicking
Wall Street's myopia was on full display in the immediate aftermath of the Israeli airstrikes against Iran. Many of us were worried about the possibility of World War III as we saw the attacks almost in real time Thursday night. Many of my sources were trying to gauge impacts on the Dow, oil prices and interest rates. Advertisement You can make a good case that there is a place for such shortsightedness. Leave the far-reaching geopolitical analysis to those who are better equipped to game-plan those outcomes, and the investor class should stay in its lane. People still have to save for retirement, invest those savings, even if the Middle East is imploding. Advertisement That said, the Wall Street take on the contretemps is certainly worth dissecting. You can glean, if you look through the conflict's short-term impact on specific pieces of economic data and push the smart money on their meaning, some interesting broader conclusions about how the Israel-Iran conflict will ultimately shake out. The market's top-line response was muddled. Stocks initially sold off sharply, then came back only to tank into the close as Iran retaliated against Tel Aviv. Advertisement Oil prices — which are always sensitive to conflicts in the Middle East — jumped about 7%. But we've all seen worse on less existentially serious stuff. The Dow closed down less than 800 points; the rollout of the Trump tariff plan — before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent began putting the old genie back in the bottle to prevent an economic meltdown — saw far more wild moves in all sorts of investments. When the trade war was raging, bond prices at one point tanked so much, you would think we were on the verge of the apocalypse. Advertisement On Friday, the 10-year bond yield rose but is still below 4.5%, meaning people weren't rushing to the safe haven of Treasuries to plan for the worst. Gold rallied, but it's been running hot for weeks amid the fears of tariff-induced inflation. Not panicking In other words, it seems like investors are nervous, but also they're not panicking because something good could follow something scary. Namely, Israel neutered not just a foe that is developing nukes and threatening its destruction. It also has degraded the world's most aggressively belligerent nation — the leading state sponsor of terrorism — by decapitating much of Iran's military leadership, key scientists that were on the verge of developing nukes, as well as large swaths of its armed forces. In saving itself, Israel did us all a favor — even the Arab world, much of which abhors Iran's destabilizing militarism. For investors, it could mean at the very least lower energy prices in the future. Rich Arab countries finally might agree to recognize Israel, and the investment opportunities that will bring. Advertisement I know saying the conflict could be long-term good for the markets sounds ignorant given what's at stake. But life isn't mostly binary. Fortunately in this case, what's good for stocks could be good for the world. Of course, one day in the market is just one day. Advertisement So much more will happen. Israel says it's not done with its military action. Iran retaliated, landing missiles in the heart of Tel Aviv after a first wave of deadly drones was largely swatted away by Israel's defenses. Advertisement I have family in Israel so I pray for their safety as I've done almost every day since Oct. 7. US military installations could be attacked. But some of my trading desk sources are pointing out that Israel seems to have its game plan down pretty solid, and the Iranian attack against us would be foolish since it already has its hands full. The Israelis knew who to take out — the generals and scientists — and it clearly knew how Iran could respond. It has already largely eliminated Iran's proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas. Advertisement Notice how Israel didn't take out Iran's oil infrastructure, at least not yet. If it did, oil prices would be higher and markets far more volatile. And maybe Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is betting on the Iranian people. I've never been to Iran, but I know plenty of Iranian Americans. They tell me the country is largely secular, run by a fanatical minority that Israel might be weakening significantly. This could be the push for regime change that we've been talking about for years. Trump kept in the loop President Trump here has been at his best, my Wall Street sources remind me, another reason they're not panic-selling. Israel kept him in the loop. He alerted the world that the attacks would happen Thursday. He then began distancing himself and our country from the direct conflict, while prodding Iran to get back to the negotiating table and end its nukes program. Who knows, they might finally listen. Wall Street is always looking for 'black swan' events — stuff most people don't see that could lead to catastrophic market results. Wars are terrible. It would be great if Iran chose peace, but maybe eliminating it as a threat to Israel and a lot more is a black swan that produces some long-term peace and prosperity. Let's hope so and pray for the peace dividend it should deliver.
