The question I responded to was asking about NASDAQ indexed funds, which I was attempting (perhaps erroneously) to point out is not limited to just one of the three indexes people often talk about with respect to the US stock market (DOW, NASDAQ, S&P (500)). NASDAQ names get picked up in the S&P 500 as well, because as you and @skybrian mention, that's what it does.
Also, I'm not endorsing SPCX or TSLA. ;D

There are also nice graphs that emphasize what SpaceX is and isn't.
Some excerpts from the article:
In a surprise move ahead of its investor roadshow, Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to fix its IPO price at $135 per share to raise a record-setting $75 billion, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The rocket and satellite communications company plans to sell 555.6 million shares, the source said. It is aiming for a valuation of $1.75 trillion, two other people said.
...
The company's plans, including the size of the [fixed-price] raise, are subject to change as investor meetings get under way, the sources cautioned.
There is no rule banning SpaceX's unconventional plan for setting a fixed price for the IPO, said Weiheng Chen, a senior partner in Hong Kong at U.S. law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
"Musk is simply taking a 'take-it-or-leave-it' approach which works for his followers and is also sensible given the market conditions and the lack of comparables," Chen said.
...
The IPO is expected to be structured as an all-primary offering, meaning all proceeds would go to the company and existing SpaceX shareholders will not be able to sell any of their shares in the IPO, the sources said.

ChingShih (edited )Link ParentYes and no. The wealth management companies that craft the ETFs get to pick winners and losers. Active traders are along for the ride and so are passive retirement funds.Only NASDAQ index funds though?
Yes and no.
Let's look at Tesla (also NASDAQ-listed) as an example. Its biggest private equity shareholders are Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, etc. The biggest holders of Tesla stock through publicly-traded ETFs are VTI and VFINX (2 Vanguard funds with $3+ trillion in investments), QQQ (of course, it's NASDAQ 100), as well as IVV and SPY - you read that right, two monumental S&P 500-tracking funds own NASDAQ-listed Tesla shares. In fact, together they own about the same number of Tesla shares as the $1.6 trillion VFINX. And those aren't the only NASDAQ names that IVV and SPY own, you'll also recognize NVDA, MSFT, GOOG, AAPL, and META.On the topic of NASDAQ ETFs specifically, QQQ is the most-traded ETF on the market and it's the NASDAQ 100 ETF so that will of course create support for new stocks entering the NASDAQ. Additionally, any ETF or mutual fund that wants to include SpaceX (like defense, satellite, and new tech company funds, like ARKX) will also carry SpaceX. You'll see it baked into things that aren't really even on the topic of whatever SpaceX does, the way that Tesla stock has been incorporated into "Tech" ETFs as well as consumer and industrial ETFs.The wealth management companies that craft the ETFs get to pick winners and losers. Active traders are along for the ride and so are passive retirement funds.

And I'm glad you picked up on the fact that I do like what he did -- solving poverty through investment, solving unemployment through job-creating enterprises, and creating local stability for goods/services/salaries -- is uniformly good in our system. But contrary to his argument, it is something he still could have done without profiting (and I do wonder if the company is profitable ... that bears more research).
Not that he should have operated at a loss or that I'm advocating for it to have been a non-profit, but his contrast of NGOs to for-profit businesses falls flat when his success story literally is the proof that he found a market sector to profit from at a scale that people in the region clearly weren't able to do themselves (otherwise, all things being equal they would have already, right?). Venture capital followed the newly-created investment potential of Sokowatch/Wasoko not because they were investing in the people or the philosophy of creating jobs and stability, but because they wanted a return on their investment (and Yu hasn't disclosed what that was, just $125M+ in funding at a $650M+ valuation).
If they charged more for worse service and lost to a more efficient competitor, maybe it’s for the best?
The example that Yu gives about small businesses having to travel to restock basis necessities like soap, cooking oil, flour, and sugar is a common one throughout these developing regions and you will see it in ALL developing parts of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America. The local governments lack the infrastructure for big vehicles to deliver large quantities of items to wholesales who can sell direct to small businesses. It's a vicious cycle of not enough tax income for services, not enough money being made by people who are employed, too little employment, too much unskilled labor to develop the region quickly, a general lack of upward mobility, etc etc.
People on Tildes have posted lots of articles about what happens when a Walmart-type company (a sort of vertically-integrated wholesaler in their own right) moves into town, so I'll let you decide if the creation of a new wholesaler like Wasoko is always a good thing, sometimes a good thing, or can have mixed results for the other business that were clearly staying afloat but not providing the same margins that Wasoko was (and we know Wasoko was because they were competing with those same businesses and offering a delivery service, right?).
Maybe it is for the best for the long term, but I felt it appropriate to point out that economic competition isn't all roses; whoever Wasoko out-competed will never have the opportunities to ask for outside investment like Yu and his co-founders did. They never had that opportunity because the fundamentals didn't exist and what Yu did in creating a whole distribution network to save small businesses time and money is great, but he was able to do it because he saw an opportunity that he capitalized on and was capable of asking for the outside investment required to build what he built. He did not bootstrap himself the way the locals were, playing on a level playing field -- and that's fine. He bypassed a lot of that grief by using a huge amount of funding over a period of years that he might not have even been required to pay back (because he sold equity in Wasoko, rather than taking a loan or depending on donors like a non-profit). So if it worked, that's phenomenal, but I am skeptical that his conclusion about NGOs is wise. Kiva is certainly a counter-example and I think that his essay might not be much of a success story when we get into Wasoko's numbers and lasting impact.
I have more to say on this, but have to step away again. Perhaps you can look into the VC investors and see if its true that the Swedish investment firm sold their stake at a much lower valuation a year before Wasoko was merged/acquired. That's not typically a good sign. With $125M+ raised in venture capital and a cut valuation, it worries me that Wasoko might not have made much profit on their revenue (Yu said himself they were not an asset-light company) and the VC investors felt it wasn't a business with enough growth potential. But hey, I'm all for taking VC money and dumping it into developing regions that actually need it. But did the money grow? It would be pretty funny if Wasoko was a for-profit business that didn't turn a profit. But yes, the upshot is that jobs were created and hopefully many of its long-term employees are still employed with the new company.

Daniel Yu sounds like a really, really intelligent guy, but that's a lot of keywords and verbiage from someone accustomed to VC-pandering. Let me briefly break down what he really did. I really don't have any complaints about the endeavor itself, but I do find these kinds of "you can get rich by doing what I did" kinds of self-help articles/books tiresome. It's even more funny (in a sad way) when you find out he fired 100 employees and axed several C-levels when he sold the company to a competitor and then went to work on an NGO in India.
Anyhow, here's what he did without the marketing speak (and a little peek at what he did after posting this essay):
What I kept noticing was a simple, persistent problem: the neighborhood shops kept running out of basic items, such as soap, cooking oil, flour, and sugar.
He found a market sector that hadn't been exploited yet and became the only business performing the necessary functions in very select regions that could be profitable. That's phenomenal and exactly what people should be doing in a capitalist system. No complaints from the capitalists.
Wasoko replaced that trip with a mobile phone order and same-day delivery.
Wasoko was founded by three people including Yu. They raised over $125 million in private equity and venture capital across several rounds of funding, purchased warehouse space in countries with favorable tax scenarios for such situations (i.e. as little as 0%), employed extremely inexpensive labor, and bought up enough assets and inventory across the region that they could resell their goods cheaper than smaller companies -- and then offered delivery. We don't know how many people got run out of business by being undercut by this new wholesale distributor, or whether local wages got depressed as a result of Wasoko's success, but maybe it more than made up for it.
Like the theoretical case Yu is making, employing people who don't have jobs or lack access to regular sources of income is extremely important for helping developing regions and keeping them stable. My only nitpick is that he doesn't provide hard numbers here and it would be nice to see.
Wasoko eventually grew to serve more than 100,000 small businesses across six countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a team of 2,000 people.
Wasoko, formerly Sakowatch, raised over $125 million in capital (not sure where the money came from, but one of the investors might've been the University of Chicago along with an American investment management/private equity company) to provide services in areas where they could dominate, but not in areas that were unprofitable (otherwise they'd be an NGO, right?). Good business acumen. Not sure how that supports the argument against NGOs when NGOs can operate in areas that aren't profitable. Yu should know that, considering where he "works" now.
By the time I left the firm, it was serving 100,000 small businesses.
Hm, very vague number from an article written in 2023. Quarterly active accounts? Total accounts? Total businesses within the service delivery area? A later article claims "In August 2024, it claimed to serve 450,000 merchants who reached 65 million consumers." Hugely different numbers between 2023 and 2024, so maybe the 100K small businesses is their active accounts.
It doesn't matter. A few months after writing the essay submitted to Tildes, Yu and his board "reorganized" the company and merged/sold it to a competitor. They also paused operations in Uganda and Zambia, closed their offices in a Silicon Valley-like part of East Africa, and laid off some employees. The Kenyan tax situation for the company also changed in 2025, and may have changed in other African countries, which might've made the buyout/merger look like a good way of saving a company damaged by recent economic tides. As of 2025, Yu of course still has an advisory role on the board of the new company, but has apparently moved to India to work with an NGO focused on education.
So I don't really feel inspired by this? And, supposing that Sokowatch/Wasoko did benefit from extremely lenient taxation (some might call loop-holes), that exploitation has perhaps led to the current situation where many African countries are implementing a minimum corporate tax structure mirroring (or due to) recent American reciprocal tax policies. So someone with the money and initiative to do this can't because, like many self-help books on getting rich, the system has already been abused and the market has already been cornered.
The thing about Yu's premise is that what people and economies need is liquidity. They need cash infusions in the right places and in the right ways (economically as well as morally -- people feel good when they are getting paid to do honest work). Businesses of all sizes do this, but they need liquidity and often it's foreign capital investment that makes the biggest waves because they bring the biggest cheques.
However there are alternatives, and the part mentioning Floramérica's $2.4B annual revenue is an interesting number. It's the same amount of disbursements through Kiva to borrowers in developing nations over the non-profit's lifetime. So it's an order of magnitude different and the Googler-founded non-profit is using micro-lending in a P2P-adjacent format to help people who don't have access to traditional banking or lending services (and are also at-risk of predatory lenders, corruption, and organized crime). Yet Kiva is able to service borrowers in regions that aren't traditionally profitable which is why many of those lending services don't exist -- because capital markets have deemed it not worth the investment. So a non-profit (that literally "issues cash transfers") like Kiva and a corporation like Wasoko aren't comparable at all ... and Yu's premise that for-profit corporations and non-profit corporations are comparable ... must be wrong. It's also a little bit lazy to raise $125 million (or more) and then compare yourself to organizations that didn't.
Through that decade of venture building in Africa, I came to understand a harder truth: the path to widespread prosperity would not come from simply helping local businesses operate more efficiently. Wasoko was a start, but local purchasing power was deeply constrained. Creating genuine engines of income growth requires businesses built to serve markets beyond developing countries—using global purchasing power to drive convergence.
But if there is a takeaway, it's what Yu wrote above. Wasoko was one business and it helped to provide jobs and a regular source of income for at least a couple thousand people who might not have had that income security. But it's not the only solution and there is not a single solution that fixes everything -- as Wasoko didn't. There need to be multiple solutions at every level and in different ways so that wealth isn't solely concentrated in areas where it pays dividends. Purchasing power that drives the economy can come from many sources and the reins of that equity shouldn't be in the hands of the few.

I saw 8 castles in the span of 7 days, one of which was on the same day I departed, so while it was a bit of a whirlwind, I had a great time.
Advice on visiting castles, museums, etc. in the German-speaking parts of the world:
Check to see if reservations are required (especially for English-speaking tours).
Some castles are privately owned (on behalf of the public, perhaps) and while they might be open 5 days a week, tours are exclusively guided and public tours might only happen on certain days. I hadn't even thought about this when I showed up to one castle and I'm glad that it was a "public day" because the other castle I wanted to visit the next day required email/phone notification/reservation (totally worth it!).
Similarly, check what time the last tours are ... if the castle is open until 5PM, the last tour might be at 3:30 or 4:00PM.
Parking can be terrible and the roads up to even some of the more popular castles can be tricky/single-lane, so do a quick check of the route and any warnings on Google.
Going to Burg Rheinfels was awesome, but I think I stressed more over the one-lane road (with blind corners) up through town and navigating the traffic lights than I did the entire rest of the trip.
Bring some Euro coins for parking meters, entry, etc.
Parking at Schloss Heidelberg was paid only. I fumbled some Euros into a meter and the rest is a blur. I think I parked about 1 kilometer from the palace, which on a busy day didn't seem bad at all and it was mostly a walk through the gardens anyway. Also, because in the US paid parking is usually non-existent on Sundays I hadn't considered that ... in Germany parking is paid on Sundays, too, at least at certain places (Schloss Koblenz I'm looking at you T_T).
Some locations have multi-lingual audio tours ... but only accept exact change? I found something similar in Japan. Must be a cultural thing. Anyhow, be able to make change for those who can't make change for you. That's probably a Bavarian proverb.
You can easily chain two or even three castle visits together if you plan a decent route.
My experience in Frankfurt is probably not all that different from Bavaria, although the scale might've been different, but for the most part I was able to do either 1 castle and a tourist destination or 2 castles in one day and still be able to grab breakfast and dinner back in Frankfurt. A lot of it was kind of ad-hoc, too and I got very lucky that I was able to also find time to stop at Frankenstein castle (which is a real place and the castle ruins host some live music performances which is pretty cool although not the symphonic metal holy land that I expected it to be haha). It looks like Burg Neuschwanstein, Burg Hohenschwangau, and Schloss Linderhof are all very close by, for instance.
Enjoy!

I introduced a friend to Placebo's cover of her single "Running Up That Hill" and while he didn't like it, I was surprised he'd never come across it before. On the flip side, sometimes people hear a popular song, like Smooth Criminal, and have stronger associations with the cover (Alien Ant Farm) than the original (Michael Jackson).

Perun pointed out, I think last week, that this was actually a campaign promise that went unfulfilled. US strategic reserves sat at about 60% of capacity in February 2026. Which is still a lot, but adding more would've improved the US consumer's confidence, would've been able to keep prices lower longer in the event of a significant catastrophe, and improved one piece of the national security metric.
On that note, with the suspension of the Jones Act to allow foreign-made ships to help cross-ship oil between different US ports, I worry that the US will be exchanging slightly lower fuel prices for US jobs. If you were a Panamanian-flagged vessel transporting oil between Venezuela and Cuba or between Venezuela and China, and you already have an experienced crew (and probably experience going through the Panama canal), are you going to keep doing those long, low-margin routes or are you going to jump into the US shipping market and slightly undercut all the companies who had previously been profiting from protectionist regulations?

I was wondering about the same implications and after a quick search the US exports 20% of its LNG. The US EIA has some stats here about LNG and Hydrocarbon Gas Liquid (HGL) exports vs imports. While the rationale for exporting LNG and HGL might change, and doesn't necessarily change the short-term demand for it domestically, if the US is capable and willing to continue exporting then presumably it is still willing to import from Canada to make up for that difference -- mirroring the way that Canadian petroleum products help power the US despite the US exporting some of its own crude and refined petroleum products. Canada makes up 52% of US oil imports for all oil product types, including heating oils, while the US exports about half of what it imports (either as a refined product or other type).

I will add something that I heard in two parts from two different analysts:
The first said that this attack has impaired Qatar's LNG production (I believe it was the process of turning the gas into a liquid for transport) by 17% (a sizeable amount) and that this impairment will last 3-5 years (I presume the amount of time they were told it might take to fix).
The second said that LNG isn't a fungible resource the way that gasoline/diesel is and this is due to logistics and capacity (to ship as cargo), but also strategic stockpiling and production. The Middle East, particularly centered around the Strait of Hormuz, is not just the primary corridor for traffic, but also the world's primary producer (and the producer who will sell to almost anyone). Asia is more than just the primary buyer, they rely significantly on the LNG coming from the Middle East for their energy needs and they cannot quickly pivot away from it or find another source. There was one primary source and now it's output has been cut dramatically.
In the short-term we are already seeing the highly populated South Asia and Southeast Asia regions ration cooking fuel as well as some automotive fuels. I've read that coastal countries like Vietnam are not allowing pass-through sales to land-locked neighbors; the supply they buy they're keeping. I've read that people in Hong Kong are driving into mainland China to buy fuel due to cost and that will change political landscapes. A compounding effect will be when South Asia begins to see reduced fertilizer imports as this is the start of their import cycle for fertilizer.

The fight scenes in Part 1 especially were done really well and visually described the book's intent so much better than I expected (the sparring with Gurney, crysknife duel, and Sardaukar battle). I'm not an expert fencer, but when reading the book I was concerned with how they'd portray this very specific style visually. Anyway, I don't have any doubts that Part 3 will have to deliver some pretty epic fight scenes.
I haven't read Messiah yet, so I liked seeing that Jason Momoa will reprise a role here -- and his scifi roles in general are fun (even if I didn't like See). The info at the bottom of the video also said that his daughter will be in this film, so that's cool. I didn't see Robert Pattinson in the trailer, must've missed him, but I've come to enjoy seeing his films - The Lighthouse and The Batman showcased his talent. I know Zendaya will be great in this, looking forward to seeing her career go to even higher heights.

I did, too, which made the ending of Part 2 more disappointing for me because they spent so much movie time on the end scene -- almost dragging it out while keeping it close to the source material -- when it didn't do anything more than the book did. The book's conclusion wraps up pretty quick, I'd say quicker than even watching it in film form and usually that's not how things go with book to film adaptations. I felt like they could've spent some of that movie time somewhere else and had just as impactful a confrontation while staying close to the source material. But since they've already deviated from the book in a few ways, I wouldn't have been offended if they deviated a little at the end to make the final confrontation more exciting and more worth the buildup (and time spent there instead of elsewhere).

Thanks for posting this concept! I have some cheapo adobo leftovers and next time I make this I will have to make sure there's enough extra broth to have some dip when I make some chicken or beyond meat sandwiches.
Do you have specific ingredients for your adobo broth that you think will work best for adobo and dip leftovers?
