2023 was a great year for TCX and local currency is high on the development agenda. One can say "finally" as the first local currency borrowing and loan was made back in 1994 by EBRD. Finally things are taking off. Watch this TCX space. 2024 will bring more news. #mdb EBRD Norbert Seiler Tamsin Sridhara Vince Purton Alexander Auboeck Louis de Montpellier René Karsenti Ruurd Brouwer Othman Boukrami Bert Van Lier Brice Ropion Carien Dam Sarah Russell Bola Adesola Tim Armbruster Jingdong Hua #localcurrency #developmentbanking #derivatives #bondmarkets #emergingmarkets #fx #em #developmentfinance #dfi #currencyhedging #hedging #superbinstitution and #greatcolleagues #impact

Shares in Galliford Try Holdings PLC (LSE:GFRD) have hit their highest level since 2009, allowing for stock splits, with the #shares up 13% to 232.92p since the posting of final results yesterday. Earnings per share were ahead of forecasts and analysts were impressed.  The "key news" in the results is the reduction in dividend cover to 1.8x from 2.0x, said Peel Hunt. Reducing cover meant the dividend of 10.5p was declared versus the 8.5p the #broker had forecast. The past year contained no other major surprises, #PeelHunt analyst Andrew Nussey added, but noted that the new financial year has started well with trading at the upper end of expectations and that management has increased confidence in the delivery of FY26 objectives.

IPO Investors Hope the Fed is Finally Ready to Restart the Party KKR & Co.-backed BrightSpring Health Services and Amer Sports Inc., the maker of Wilson tennis rackets, filed last week for their IPOs, both of which have been tipped to raise at least $1 billion. Now, all eyes will be on the level of support potential issuers will get from the Federal Reserve — and whether stable markets can help a trickle of filings turn into a flood. For bankers and investors, the Fed’s decision on the pace of interest rate cuts is top of mind, as is the buoyancy of equity markets after the S&P 500 snapped its longest weekly streak of gains in almost 20 years. What are your thoughts on the IPO market revival? Please read the article below for more details. #ipo #capitalmarkets #fed #rates #publicaccounting #cpa #revival #unicorns

$DWAC - I'd been loosely following the SPAC for a couple months awaiting the regulatory decision. Given the charade and political adversity Trump has endured, I wasn't very confident in an approval for the deal but the decision clearing the reverse merger of TMTG into DWAC allowing it to trade publicly was made last week and the new ticker $DJT began trading on Tuesday. I personally see this as a very intelligent financial play by DJT as it knocks multiple problematic birds with one stone. I bought a position in DWAC on its final day in the post market and saw a near 100% return overnight as the new DJT ticker went from $45-$80. I'll continue building a position via stock and options as I see huge upside potential albeit, with no link to the fundamental business. As campaign season kicks off and retail in particular become more aware of their ability to unlimitedly fund their candidate's war chest via purchasing shares, we can see something truly astronomical happen especially given that Trump holds the majority of the shares and the stock has a borrow rate of 550% as of yesterday for anyone looking to short. Institutional investors also see Truth Social members to be more valuable and monetizable than a competitor like Reddit. Potential YOLO stock of the year. #DWAC #DJT #TMTG

When our CEO, Jerry Davidse, CFP®, career began on June 11, 2001, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was at 10,922. The DJIA closed above 40,000 for the first time on Friday, May 17, 2024. A lot has happened, and a lot has changed, in the world since, however, one things has remained consistent. The market continues to reward the long-term focused investor. #financialadvisor #wealthmanagement #stocks #djia #dow40k #investing #longterminvestments

#BerkshireHathaway 2024 Shareholders Meeting: Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting is scheduled for May 4, where #WarrenBuffett, also known as the Oracle of Omaha, will address inquiries following the company's first-quarter earnings announcement. This is the first Annual General Meeting (AGM) without Buffett's long-time friend and partner, #CharlieMunger, who passed away last year. Munger and Buffett were known for their cleverness and wisdom, and his well-known phrase "nothing to add" will be missed. With Munger no longer present and Buffett at 93, there's curiosity about who will lead Berkshire in the future. Abel and Jain, who became vice chairmen in 2018, have taken on greater responsibilities. Berkshire will announce its first-quarter earnings shortly before the AGM. Investors are waiting for Berkshire's Form 13-F, which reveals changes to its investment portfolio in the first quarter. Berkshire's acquisition of a mystery stock late last year, which was kept confidential from the #SEC, is particularly fascinating. #BerkshireHathaway #WarrenBuffet #AnnualGeneralMeeting #AGM #Investors #BerkshireForm13F #thebusinesscorridor Read here: https://lnkd.in/gDqVXPMr

Berkshire Hathaway & Buffett – Our good friend, Barron’s Editor Andrew Bary, penned a wonderful and thoughtful cover story this weekend in Barron's on the future of Berkshire Hathaway ahead of next weekend’s annual shareholder meeting in Omaha. Andrew elegantly writes: "There is nothing like Berkshire. It has had an extraordinary run since Buffett took control of a struggling textile maker in 1965 and turned it into the world’s largest conglomerate, with nearly 400,000 employees and U.S.-centric businesses that offer one of the best reads on the health of the economy." Some of its largest operating businesses include: Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Railroad, Precision Castparts, The Lubrizol Corporation, GEICO and other well known brands such as See's Candies, NetJets, and Benjamin Moore Paint Store, Dairy Queen, and Clayton Homes Inc. And of course there are the conglomerate's large equity ownership positions in leading American companies like Apple, American Express, and The Coca-Cola Company. #BerkshireHathaway #Investing #FutureOutlook #ShareholderMeeting #FinancialInsights #Barrons #AndrewBary #InvestmentStrategy #WarrenBuffett #CharlieMunger #MarketAnalysis #valueinvesting #equities #stocks #markets #Omaha #oracleofomaha #Burlington NorthernSantaFeRailroad #PrecisionCastparts #TheLubrizol #GEICO #See'sCandies #NetJets #BenjaminMoore #DairyQueen #ClaytonHomes #Apple #AmericanExpress #TheCocaColaCompany #Coke
