Whatever You Do, Don’t Ignore Friday’s Selloff

Whatever You Do, Don’t Ignore Friday’s Selloff

Published by Jenni Sidey

Submitted by QTR’s Fringe Finance By 1PM Friday, the Nasdaq was already down roughly 3.3%, and suddenly the same crowd that spent the last few months explaining why valuations don’t matter is asking what is happening. Bitcoin has also been taken behind the woodshed, crashing to around $60,000. Depending on where you’re measuring from, that’s a brutal decline in a remarkably short period of time. It’s down about 42% over the last twelve months. And it’s becoming clear that bitcoin bulls all have breaking points. And I don’t want to sound like a d*ck, but frankly, none of this — the market tanking, or how it’s happening — is really surprising. I’ve written for years that I think crypto is the tip of the risk-on spear. It tends to be the first asset class investors pile into when liquidity is abundant, speculation is rampant, and everyone is convinced they’re smarter than the market. It’s also frequently the first thing to crack when risk appetite begins to fade. So I’m not terribly surprised that after bitcoin started …

Supreme Court changes coming? Swalwell shakes up California governor’s race: Join Friday’s Whole Hog

Published by Sam Flores

Is President Trump trying to nudge older conservatives off the Supreme Court? Did former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) just give the GOP a shot at the California governor’s mansion? Will the U.S. blockade on the Strait of Hormuz hand Trump a win in Iran? Plus, what about the Michigan Senate race? The Hill’s senior vice… Source link

Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen, London, review: TGI Fridays (at twice the price)

Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen, London, review: TGI Fridays (at twice the price)

Published by Sam Flores

Ramsay, never knowingly promo shy, barely seems to have done publicity for this place. Has he even been here? But fair enough, after his recent Michelin push, Ramsay does TGI Fridays is hardly the best look. Perhaps it is an intended cash cow, a 250-cover canteen meant to offset any losses elsewhere in the company. It certainly costs: a cheap night out this is not. Of the eight mains, six are north of £40, with the signature beef Wellington at £65 (the next day I lunch at Chelsea’s upmarket NoFifty Cheyne, £59 to share). Sides include a £22 lobster tail. Cocktails are mostly £17; the wine list’s opening gambit is champagne from £105-a-bottle, with just three still wines under £50. Wines they pour at speed and in large portions, edging you towards a second bottle. It is easy to resent this sort of avarice encouragement. Ramsay’s Savoy Grill costs about the same for a similar menu, only at the Grill there is a sense of history and far fewer bandanas. Oh, and I’ve never eaten …

Here’s a list of L.A. restaurants supporting Friday’s general strike with donations

Here’s a list of L.A. restaurants supporting Friday’s general strike with donations

Published by Sam Flores

After a tumultuous month of continued national immigration raids and the ICE shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, nationwide protests are set to occur today amid calls for a general strike. Small businesses across the L.A. area announced Friday closures in observation of the strike, while others who voiced support said the decision to close is impossible — especially for independent restaurants, which suffered an outsized string of hardships through 2025, causing a growing number of permanent closures. Many operators who say they are unable to close are donating a portion or all profits from Friday’s business to immigrant rights causes. Some say they’ve left the decision up to their staff, who rely on the day’s wages. One restaurateur, who requested anonymity for fear of ICE retaliation, said their employees’ earnings regularly pay for undocumented staff’s private transportation to and from work, and they cannot afford to close for even a single night. Some of L.A.’s restaurants, bars and cafes closed in observance of the strike and protests include Proof Bakery, Wilde’s, …

Hundreds of jobs to be lost in TGI Fridays insolvency plan | Money News

Hundreds of jobs to be lost in TGI Fridays insolvency plan | Money News

Published by Sam Flores

Hundreds of British hospitality workers face losing their jobs in the coming days as the owner of TGI Fridays finalises plans to buy back a slimmed-down version of one of Britain’s best-known casual dining chains. Sky News has learnt that Sugarloaf TGIF Management, which only took control of TGI Fridays two months ago, is preparing to implement a pre-pack administration of the business in a deal which is expected to take place next week. Insiders said a transaction was expected to involve the closure of a significant proportion of the estate’s 49 restaurants. One suggested that between 15 and 20 of the sites could be permanently axed, although the final number is still being worked on and has yet to be determined. They cautioned that a deal could yet be delayed beyond next week. A pre-pack insolvency involves a buyer being lined up for a company or its assets without its financial liabilities, immediately after the appointment of administrators takes place. If the pre-pack scenario and site closure plan does materialise, it would inevitably mean …
