Watch Paul LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Lisa Mateo Alison Williams, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst, Global Banks and Asset Managers, discusses U.S bank earnings. JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s investment bankers eked out a surprise gain in the second quarter. Citigroup's traders had their best second quarter in five years, with revenue buoyed by record trading volumes in the quarter. Wells Fargo's total assets stood at $1.98 trillion at the end of the second quarter, an increase that followed its long-anticipated freedom from a Federal Reserve cap. Michelle Davis, Bloomberg Senior Deals Reporter, discusses how UnitedHealth Group had managed to pull off an impressive feat: more than 60 consecutive quarters of earnings that beat Wall Street estimates. Nicole D'Souza, Bloomberg Intelligence Internet and Software Equity Analyst, discusses BIoomberg Intelligence's research about dating apps and how Gen Z is using them. BI says Gen Z is more likely to be single and not dating, have an unfavorable view of dating apps, and less likely to pay for dating apps. This is a change from Millennial dating patterns. Neil Sipes, Bloomberg Intelligence Financials Analyst, discusses BlackRock dropping the most since April as revenue and performance fees missed estimates, even as the world's largest money manager hit a record $12.5 trillion in assets.

A disaster for working Americans: Trump's attacks on Fed chair Jerome Powell risk tanking the dollar

Donald Trump's attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell threaten far more than one man's job—they endanger the entire U.S. and global economy. The Fed was intentionally designed to operate independently of political pressure, with a core mission to stabilize prices and support employment. Undermining that independence for the sake of one man's political agenda won't just spark academic debate—it will raise your mortgage, inflate your grocery bill, and destabilize financial mark

How China Built a Global Port Network

When a Hong Kong conglomerate set plans this year to sell its global network of shipping ports to an American-led investment group, two facilities in Panama got most of the attention. But the real action is in Europe, where Chinese business interests have spent decades accumulating port holdings. Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison agreed in March to sell more than 40 ports in 23 nations to an investor group led by American financial firm BlackRock, and the parties had aimed to reach a definitive agreement on the $23 billion deal at month-end. Now, Beijing is trying to muscle into the deal and carve out a stake for its giant shipping group Cosco, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Dave Portnoy sold XRP too soon, now he wants to cry

Dave Portnoy sold XRP too soon, now he wants to cry originally appeared on TheStreet. Dave Portnoy, founder of the sports and pop culture company Barstool Sports, has a confession that he says is making him want to cry. On July 17, Portnoy posted a video on X in which he admitted to losing millions by exiting XRP two weeks earlier. He said he sold his XRP when it was trading at a price of $2.40 on the advice of the individual who had recommended him the coin that Ripple, the crypto company whose founders launched XRP, would now face competition from the stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL). XRP's price has surged 60% since he sold it, Portnoy said and added: "I would've made millions, and I want to cry. I don't own it anymore. Even though I was like the leader of the XRP army, I sold it." Notably, both Ripple and Circle applied for national banking licenses with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency more than two weeks earlier. XRP hit the price of $3.642 late evening July 17, and Portnoy posted the video only a few minutes isn't the first time that Barstool's El Presidente has talked about his crypto trading mistakes. In 2021, he admitted to panic selling Bitcoin in an X post. The king coin recently hit an all-time high (ATH) of $123,091.61 on July 14. XRP hit an ATH of $3.84 on Jan. 4, 2018. The cryptocurrency was trading at $3.36 at the time of writing, nearly 12% lower than its record high. Dave Portnoy sold XRP too soon, now he wants to cry first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
