Well, the interesting thing about this whole stock thing was that the White House said that, oh, it's a computer algorithm that runs the trading based on the traditional trading trends and the data, data, data. But they can't tell you who greenlit the particular trades. They go, oh, it's a computer, Somebody has to go, "Yes, computer, I approve. Do that." Did that person have insider information? I think that's the thing that at this point, nothing would surprise me. And they were so beaten down with political scandals that the scandals just feel like, "Yeah, all right." Yeah, he made more money. Like, "All right." Oddly, the one trade that he made see, uh, President Trump that I was curious about was Home Depot. I'm like, what do you know? You know, like, okay, Grifton, SpaceX, and AI, all right. What's going on with Home Depot, man? What do you know?
Roy Wood Jr. — Pivot · Trump vs. Canada, Paramount Settlement Saga, and Melania's Return · 2026-08-25Go Home Depot. Go to Home Depot. So speaking of things that they're doing that exhaust me as a journalist, Pentagon has fired 3 top staffers at Stars and Stripes, a government-funded news outlet that reports on the US military. The Pentagon cited insubordination as the reason for the firings. 2 of the staffers had recently spoken publicly about protecting the paper's editorial independence, which it has had for forever, pointing to the legal right to be free from news management and censorship. The third has already announced his retirement, citing fundamental disagreements over the paper's values and mission. The firings come as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes to reshape the paper with more focus on warfighting and less on woke distractions. If Hegseth is making editorial decisions here, what kind of stories will we see now?
Kara Swisher — Pivot · Trump vs. Canada, Paramount Settlement Saga, and Melania's Return · 2026-08-25Yeah, probably spend hours on just this topic alone, just listing people. But I'd say that the few that come to mind and the ones that have inspired us in the way that we've built the company the most are— it's probably a category of leaders I would describe as folks who have built really big impactful organizations in service industries like the ones that we operate in. So I'm thinking of folks like Ken Langone at The Home Depot and Howard Schultz from Starbucks and Danny Meyer from the Union Square Hospitality Group. I mean, these are folks who have built real winning cultures in service industries, and I'd say the one through line between all of them is, uh, you know, if you, if you read and digest everything that they put out there, they all seem to make it clear that the number one stakeholder in their business is their team, it's their employees. And so we've taken a lot of inspiration from that, and we've embodied that concept in the way that we've built Green Brook, where we, we think about ourselves as very team first, patient second. Not because we all care about our patients. You know, it's our mission to improve their health and well-being. It's why we get out of bed in the morning is to take care of them. But we also recognize that we can't take care of our patients without first taking care of each other and our team. And so we are very, very focused, I'd say inspired by those folks. We're very focused on making Greenbrook the absolute best place to work. And then we think the experience we deliver for our patients and the results we deliver for our partners is just a byproduct of that.

Erica Berris — Planet Money · Who decides what big box sells? Our GAME got us answers · 2026-08-21The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Everywhere else, work comes before success. And so, you know, moms and dads, an eagle that is not kicked out of the nest pretty quickly becomes a turkey. And so we need to kick the little eaglets out and let them have some terror. Oh, it's hard out there. It is not hard out there compared to when you did it, moms and dads. It's the easiest and best time in the history of the world right now. The stock market's freaking booming. Jobs are everywhere. Now, not $150,000 a year jobs for people who got a degree in left-handed puppetry to follow their passion. No, people who actually are working at things that the society needs. It's out there. And if it's not, give them a lawnmower. Run down to Home Depot, buy a leaf blower. Rich people are afraid of leaves. You've got a job instantly. Instantly, "Brrr," it's the sound of success. Facts. You know, get it, baby, get it. So the wussification of America is beyond belief. We have killed a generation of young men by not teaching them how to throw their shoulders back, lean into the harness, and pull something. Now, does that sound like a dad joke? I don't care. I'm observing the socioeconomic data. I'm also talking to the young women who wish there were some more men out there that they could date instead of a mama's boy living in their mother's basement basement. And it's just ridiculous, you guys. It's out of control. And I gotta tell you, I got a whole bunch of good ones. It's not all— it's not the entire generation. We've got 750 in their 20s working at Ramsey right now, and they're incredible. Their eyes are shining, they're passionate, they're talented, and they can balance a checkbook, and they can pay their own light bill and buy their own milk. And you know, this is a— I mean, Lucy's call is fun, and we can have fun and joke around with her about winning her argument, and yes, he needs to get off cell phone bill, but it kind of points to this whole other rant. Yeah, it does. This whole other issue that we're running into. It's affecting the housing market.
Dave Ramsey — The Ramsey Show · Wealth Is A Strategy, Not An Accident · 2026-08-21But good, it would have been much better though if gasoline prices hadn't gotten up to $4. And that caused the stock to get crushed. It's not just because consumers have less money to spend when fuel's expensive. You see, Walmart has this nasty habit of keeping prices low or taking them even lower when times get tough. They've done it like this since the days of Sam Walton. It's great for customers, and long term it's been fantastic for stockholders. Problem is It means the stockholders right now have to take a short-term hit. The people who own the stock until today, when they furiously dumped it when they saw the results, they saw two things, the two things they didn't like. One, business didn't get worse as the quarter went on because of ever higher gasoline prices. And two, Walmart chose to do something gutsy, make a little less money short-term or take a lot of market share. That is good business. Which sends me back to that dark prism I mentioned before, where good business isn't necessarily going to be rewarded with good stock prices. When you match Walmart's subdued end-of-quarter results with the continual increase in the price of gasoline, well, doesn't it become clear to us that the stock was maybe a little too high coming in? Hence the 9% meltdown today. It didn't reflect the fact that this company's willing to take a very small earnings hit to gain market share during a slowdown. It's what they taught us would make money long term. Or to put it another way, we all understand as long as the war with Iran drags on, we're going to pay more for for a lot of things except stocks. Stocks where we demand lower prices before we put more money to work. We learned that last night when the president talked about taking on Iran economically. He wants to get some sort of national, I don't know, financial siege going. Given that Iran is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries on earth already, I'm not sure what else we can do or even if it matters. Now we're getting retail earnings this week and we have some good ones. Target and Home Depot, as well as some not-so-good ones— Walmart, maybe Lowe's. They don't cancel each other out, though.
Jim Cramer — Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 8/20/26 · 2026-08-20The woes of retail earnings continue. Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing starts now. Welcome to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. I'm your host, Tyler Crowe, and today I'm joined by longtime Fool contributors Jon Quast and Matt Frankel. So today on the docket, we're going to talk about drone delivery, which is becoming a big topic in the, in the DoorDash and the Ubers of the world. And there's been a lot of deals going on in that market lately. And we're also going to hit some reader questions. Questions at the end of our show. But as we're getting started, we're still in earnings season and a lot of the big box retailers have been reporting this week. We've had a sprinkling of them so far. Home Depot was on Tuesday. We discussed that and the Wednesday crew talked about Target's earnings yesterday, but we got a little bit more of the story with Walmart, Lowe's, and TJX Companies, the parent company of TJ Maxx. They all reported earlier today or after the close yesterday. Guys, a lot of stuff to cover here, but Matt, what were, what were some of the numbers that you saw and what were some of the reactions that you thought of when you, you looked at these numbers?
Tyler Crowe — Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing · Is AI the Answer to Big-Box Retail’s Woes? · 2026-08-20Well, I mean, the, the big thing is that the, the headline numbers are deceiving. Tariff refunds, pretty much every retailer got them. And it made the bottom line numbers look a little better than they should have. And the market knows that the market's not rewarding it by any means, but we'll get to that. There, there was a common theme of general strength for the second quarter. Home Depot, for example, reported its strongest comp sales number since, you know, the third quarter of 2022. Target, which is in the process of a turnaround, reported comp sales in the 3.8% ballpark, a nice improvement. TJX, they beat and raised 4% comp growth. And it's worth mentioning that, you know, inflation's running around 3%, so this was actual real growth ahead of the inflation rate. So that's nice to see. Walmart was the disappointment and kind of an outlier here. Comps were 2.6%. They fell a little short of expectations. I'm not even sure they beat inflation, as did their third quarter guidance. That was a disappointment. And this was somewhat of a surprise to me. I mean, I expected Walmart to be a little more resilient in times of uncertain consumer spending. I mean, in 2008, Walmart was the best performing stock in the S&P, and It was because of people needed to cut back and things were expensive. Walmart is the most important of all of these retailers, in my opinion. It gives a read on low to middle income households, and that's really my biggest worry in the economy right now. It's not how the people at the top are doing, it's how the people in the middle are doing, and Walmart is really a good indicator there.
