Danielle Poli, Assistant Portfolio Manager for Global Credit Strategy at Oaktree Capital Management, shares insights on the current credit market landscape. According to Poli, investors are encountering systematic—or rather, systemic—problems within the credit sector.

She emphasizes that there remains a valuable role for both public and private credit in investment portfolios, suggesting a balanced approach to credit allocation can be beneficial.

Poli discussed these views in an interview with Bloomberg’s Matt Miller on the program “Bloomberg Real Yield.”

Veterans Day 2025 in South Florida: Ceremonies, patriotic music & a parade to honor military service

Posted on by
Reply

Communities across South Florida are preparing their annual salutes to all who have helped defend and protect the United States through their military service. They will mark Veterans Day, officially observed on Tuesday, Nov. 11, to honor the end of World War I. These events provide an opportunity to pause, reflect, and say thanks to veterans while celebrating their courage and commitment.

Throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties, plans include ceremonies, music, guest speakers, honor walls, and more, scheduled to take place before and on the federal holiday. Here’s a city-by-city guide.

Congressman Dusty Johnson’s Weekly Column: Thank you, veterans

Thank You, Veterans
By Rep. Dusty Johnson
November 7, 2025

This coming Tuesday is an opportunity to thank the brave men and women who have served our country. South Dakota is home to more than 60,000 veterans who have served from World War II through today.

Veterans Day is an important reminder to take time to thank those who sacrificed to preserve and protect the United States. Our military is the best in the world because of the strength of our service men and women.

During my time in Congress, I’ve taken great pride in honoring those who served during the Vietnam era. Since 2019, I’ve honored more than 1,270 Vietnam-era veterans in 90 commemorative pinning ceremonies across South Dakota. I’ve enjoyed hearing each veteran’s story, shaking their hand, and telling them thank you.

From those who served in combat to medical specialists, intelligence workers, technicians, and more, these brave men and women answered their country’s call to serve, and we owe them our gratitude. Many who served in the Vietnam era didn’t get the welcome home they deserved. It was great to be in Sioux Falls today to thank an additional 37 veterans.

Thank you to all the veterans and family members who have attended these special events over the years.

![Johnson with veterans in Sioux Falls](image-url-placeholder)

The families who stand by our service members as they serve are also worthy of recognition. The sacrifices they endure and the strength they carry as their loved ones serve deserve our respect and support as well.

Our service members and their families deserve the best support we can provide. If you or a family member need help receiving veterans benefits or navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs, don’t hesitate to reach out to my office by visiting [dustyjohnson.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency](https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency) or call 605-275-2868 to see if we’re able to assist you.

Brisbane weather report November 8: What are the chances of rain in AUS vs IND 2025 5th T20I at The Gabba?

Posted on by
Reply

India will take on Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday, November 8, in the fifth and final T20I of the series. The Men in Blue currently lead the series 2-1 and will be eager to conclude the tour with a dominant 3-1 scoreline.

However, weather could play a significant role in the proceedings, as rain is forecasted during match time in Brisbane.

In the third T20I in Queensland, Team India thumped Australia by 48 runs to take a crucial lead in the five-match series. Batting first, India posted a competitive total of 167-8. Their bowlers then delivered a clinical performance, restricting the hosts to just 119.

Despite the convincing win, India still have areas to improve ahead of the final match. In the fourth T20I, Shubman Gill top-scored with 46 runs, although his innings came off 39 balls, which may be considered slow in the T20 format. Captain Suryakumar Yadav once again failed to convert a promising start into a big score. Opener Abhishek Sharma also has just one fifty to his name so far in the series.

### Brisbane Weather Forecast for Australia vs India 5th T20I on November 8

The fifth T20I between Australia and India at Brisbane is scheduled to start at 6:15 PM local time (1:45 PM IST). According to AccuWeather, the evening is expected to be cloudy and humid with intermittent showers.

– Temperature: Around 21°C
– Probability of Precipitation: 79%
– Cloud Cover: 99%
– Chance of Thunderstorms: 23%

As the night progresses, the weather is likely to remain cloudy and humid, with rain chances persisting. The temperature will stay steady at 21°C.

In contrast, the morning before the match is predicted to be warm and relatively clear, with:

– Temperature: Approximately 31°C
– Probability of Precipitation: 3%
– Cloud Cover: 51%
– Humidity: 55%

The afternoon forecast shows a 55% chance of precipitation with a possibility of thunderstorms, indicating that weather conditions could be unstable leading up to the game.

With weather playing a potentially disruptive role, both teams will need to stay prepared for possible interruptions as they battle it out in the series decider at The Gabba.

Phase 2 Almost Full Why IPO Genie Is Selling Out Fast

Posted on by
Reply

**Crypto Presales: The IPO Genie Presale Is Almost Full**

Discover why over 300,000 investors are joining this AI-powered, audited crypto presale before Phase 2 closes.

—

### Inside the Frenzy: How IPO Genie’s Phase 2 Is Selling Out Fast

The crypto world never sleeps, but investors have learned one thing: not every presale is worth the chase. In 2025, the ones filling up fastest are those that mix innovation with proof. And right now, IPO Genie (PO) is leading that pack.

Its presale is moving faster than most predicted, with Phase 2 almost full and new participants joining every hour. The reason? Transparency, structure, and real AI-driven utility.

Unlike typical hype launches, IPO Genie’s rise has been steady, verified, and community-backed. It’s not chasing investors — it’s earning them.

Let’s see why this top crypto presale is capturing global attention and setting new standards for early-stage crypto investing.

—

### Why IPO Genie Is Selling Out So Fast

Momentum is no mystery — it’s math, structure, and trust. Here’s why IPO Genie is accelerating while others fade:

– **AI-Powered Dealflow:** Each PO token connects users to vetted private-market deals powered by AI insights.
– **Audited Infrastructure:** CertiK-audited smart contracts and Fireblocks custody ensure full transparency.
– **Tiered Access:** Early participants get better rates, staking rewards, and priority deal entry.
– **Community Confidence:** Nearly 300,000 verified users have joined the presale and airdrop.

That’s not hype. That’s traction.

—

### PO Presale Pricing Structure: Transparent and Verified

Here’s how IPO Genie built its growth model — slow, steady, and transparent:

| Stage | Token Price (USD) | Tokens per $1 USD | Price Increase |
|——–|——————-|——————-|———————–|
| Stage 1| $0.0001 per PO | 10,000 PO | – |
| Stage 2| $0.0001002 per PO | ~9,980 PO | 0.20% increase from Stage 1 |

– **Stage 1:** Investors could grab 10,000 PO tokens for just $1 USD.
– **Stage 2:** The price slightly increased to $0.0001002, still extremely early, but already reflecting demand.

This 0.20% uptick isn’t a hype push. Verified wallet activity and consistent purchases are driving organic growth.

With Phase 2 nearing capacity, investors know what happens next: higher prices in Phase 3. That’s why entries are spiking now.

—

### The AI Advantage: Why Utility Wins

AI crypto projects dominate 2025, but IPO Genie goes further.

Instead of using AI for marketing, it uses AI for market intelligence — analyzing startup performance, investor preferences, and funding trends. That means PO holders get access to better opportunities, not random speculation.

Serious investors are treating IPO Genie as a *Best Presale 2025* candidate because it combines real-world AI with blockchain-backed transparency.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

– **AI-driven deal discovery:** Finding early-stage companies before they explode.
– **DAO governance:** Every token holder has a say in platform evolution.
– **On-chain transparency:** All investments are tracked, audited, and viewable.
– **Fund-as-a-Service (FaaS):** A ready-to-deploy platform for VCs, DAOs, and private funds.

It’s the first presale to bring private equity standards into Web3 investing—utility investors can measure.

—

### Phase 2 Momentum: Numbers Don’t Lie

Let’s talk traction.

IPO Genie’s presale isn’t being driven by influencers or ads — it’s organic adoption. Stage 2 demand surged as investors saw real wallet growth, with over 300,000 verified users already participating.

A $30,000 airdrop campaign boosted early engagement. Price stability across stages signals sustainable growth.

Investors aren’t just buying PO; they’re buying into a verified model for the next generation of decentralized venture access.

That’s why Phase 2 is almost full — people aren’t speculating, they’re participating.

—

### IPO Genie (PO): The Top Crypto Presale of 2025

The presale is still live, but not for long.

Once Phase 2 closes, entry costs rise and allocation limits tighten.

Early buyers aren’t just betting on a token — they’re securing access to an entire AI-powered investment ecosystem.

The whitepaper details a roadmap that’s both ambitious and grounded: tokenized fund management, AI signal agents, insurance pools, and transparent governance.

The IPO Genie Airdrop is live, rewarding users who complete verified tasks before **November 9, 2025**. It’s a chance to join early, earn rewards, and lock in lower presale rates before the next phase increases.

Phase 2 is nearly full, and momentum is accelerating.

Don’t watch from the sidelines. Join the IPO Genie (PO) presale today, claim your airdrop, and be part of the first AI-driven investment gateway connecting blockchain to private equity.

Read the [IPO Genie Whitepaper](#) for details, then connect your wallet and secure your allocation before the price increase hits.

For live stage reports, this one’s moving fast.

YouTube’s leverage in its fight with Disney goes beyond support from Google

Posted on by

YouTube TV Isn’t Budging in Its High-Profile Fight with Disney

YouTube TV is standing firm in its ongoing dispute with Disney, and it brings significant leverage beyond its Google backing. The popular pay-TV service has emerged as an industry titan and is on track to catch its cable TV rivals in the coming years, according to analysts.

For over a week now, Disney’s TV networks, including ESPN and ABC, have been absent from the Google-owned streaming service. Disney claims that YouTube TV isn’t properly valuing its channels, while YouTube TV warns customers that conceding would lead to higher prices.

Both Disney and ESPN argue that YouTube TV is being unreasonable and can afford to play hardball, given its connection to Google. While Disney is a corporate behemoth valued at $200 billion, it is still roughly 17 times smaller than Google’s parent company, Alphabet, which holds the position of the fourth-largest company globally with a market value of $3.4 trillion.

YouTube TV: More Than Just Google’s Side Project

Contrary to being a small operation propped up by a generous tech giant, YouTube TV is a robust business generating significant cash flow. Although it might not yet be a primary revenue driver for Alphabet, industry experts see growing influence.

Ric Prentiss of Raymond James noted that this dispute “is indicative of YouTube TV wielding increased bargaining power.”

Fast Growth Amid Industry Decline

YouTube TV has been the fastest-growing major TV provider over recent years. Its subscriber base has soared from 2 million in late 2019 to approximately 10 million paying customers today. This growth contrasts sharply with the shrinking subscriber counts faced by most competitors.

According to analysts at MoffettNathanson, Google’s live TV service is now the third-largest pay-TV provider, standing behind cable giants Charter and Comcast. The research firm projects that YouTube TV will surpass these incumbents within the next two years and become the industry leader.

Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson emphasized: “Given the rapid growth of YouTube TV, especially in the context of the accelerating decline of traditional pay TV providers, it is quickly becoming a crucial player in the linear TV ecosystem.”

Revenue Growth and Future Projections

MoffettNathanson estimates YouTube TV’s revenue has jumped from less than $1 billion in 2019 to nearly $8 billion in 2024. Earlier this year, the service was on pace to hit $9.6 billion in revenue by 2025, with projections reaching $11.6 billion by the end of 2027.

This impressive growth has occurred despite fierce competition from other “virtual pay-TV services” that brought the traditional channel bundle to streaming. Early movers like Fubo and Sling TV launched as early as 2015, with Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream (formerly DirecTV Now) arriving a few years later.

Popular Among Younger Audiences and Sports Fans

These streaming services have become especially popular with younger viewers who prefer streaming and sports fans eager to watch games conveniently. YouTube TV has emerged as the biggest and best-known among these options.

Challenges Ahead: The Future of the Pay-TV Bundle

Despite its growth, YouTube TV faces existential questions about the future of the traditional pay-TV bundle. Sports content, a major driver of subscriptions, is increasingly migrating to stand-alone streaming platforms rather than bundled services.

Examples include “Thursday Night Football” on Amazon Prime Video and NBA and NFL games available through Peacock. This shift has accelerated cord-cutting trends, impacting YouTube TV as well.

A Key Part of Google’s Strategic Vision

While YouTube TV might not be a make-or-break business for Google and Alphabet, it is far from a struggling vanity project. Instead, it plays a crucial role in Google’s broader strategic vision to own the living room.

Given its stature as a top pay-TV provider, it’s difficult to envision Disney walking away from business with YouTube TV. Likewise, YouTube and Google can hardly afford to spurn Disney if they intend to be major players in the TV market.

—

This dispute highlights the growing stakes as streaming and traditional TV landscapes evolve — with YouTube TV swiftly rising from a challenger to a dominant force that both Disney and Google have to reckon with.

Bears Get Brutal News on LB T.J. Edwards After 2 Missed Practices

Chicago Bears’ T.J. Edwards Faces Injury Concerns Ahead of Week 10 vs. New York Giants

The Chicago Bears don’t sound too optimistic about starting linebacker T.J. Edwards playing against the New York Giants in Week 10’s home game. After missing the first two practices of the week due to hand and hamstring injuries, Bears head coach Ben Johnson revealed on Friday that the 29-year-old recently underwent surgery to repair a hand fracture and will be wearing a cast if he plays.

Unfortunately, Johnson also disclosed that the hamstring injury, which landed Edwards on the injury report this week, is the same one that kept him out of three of the Bears’ first four games. This injury could threaten his availability on Sunday even more than his hand.

> “He got surgery on that [hand], and the hand’s not going to hold him back,” Johnson told reporters before Friday’s practice. “That’s something I think we’ll be able to cast up and he’ll be OK. But between that and he had a hamstring as well, we’re working through both of those things to get him back.”

On the bright side, Johnson indicated that Edwards likely won’t need to spend time on the injured reserve list due to his broken hand and ongoing hamstring issues. Still, the Bears are continuing to evaluate his status ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Giants.

The Bears (5-3) will face the Giants (2-7) at Soldier Field at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Will the Bears Increase Rookie Ruben Hyppolite II’s Playing Time?

Johnson’s indication that Edwards will avoid injured reserve is a positive sign that the Bears won’t be without him for long. However, could the team look to give more snaps at linebacker to fourth-round rookie Ruben Hyppolite II during Edwards’ recovery?

Early in the season, the Bears appeared eager to get Hyppolite on the field defensively when Edwards was first dealing with his hamstring issue. Hyppolite saw eight defensive snaps in each of the first two games, but his playing time sharply dropped to just two snaps in Week 3. Since then, he has not played on defense and has been a healthy scratch for four straight games.

It is important to note that Edwards returned to the lineup after the Week 6 bye, allowing the Bears to utilize Edwards, Tremaine Edmunds, and Noah Sewell as their primary linebacker trio. Even so, when Sewell missed Week 7’s game against the New Orleans Saints, the Bears turned to veteran backup D’Marco Jackson rather than the rookie Hyppolite.

Perhaps the Bears believe Hyppolite needs additional time learning Dennis Allen’s defensive system before seeing significant game-day action. However, keeping him inactive again at home in Week 10 may raise some questions about the team’s development plans for the rookie.

Bears Activate Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga From Injured Reserve

While the Bears could decide to increase Hyppolite’s playing time against the Giants, they will also bolster linebacker depth with the return of Amen Ogbongbemiga.

The Bears officially activated Ogbongbemiga on Thursday from the injured reserve list, clearing a roster spot on the final day of his 21-day practice window. This move sets the stage for him to make his 2024 season debut against the Giants on Sunday.

Ogbongbemiga, a valuable special teams contributor, signed a two-year contract extension in the offseason that keeps him with the Bears through the 2026 season. He suffered a shoulder injury in training camp that landed him on IR with a return designation during the team’s 53-man roster cutdown at the end of August.

Though primarily a special teams player—appearing in all 17 games and playing 364 special teams snaps this season—Ogbongbemiga has played just 15 total defensive snaps in 2024. With Edwards dealing with injuries, the Bears could consider increasing Ogbongbemiga’s defensive role against the Giants.

As the Bears prepare for their Week 10 home game, the status of Edwards remains a key storyline, while the team’s linebacker depth gets a timely boost with Ogbongbemiga’s return. Fans will be watching closely to see how the Bears manage their linebacking corps against the struggling Giants.

OUTDOORS: Bois d’Arc is a bucket list visit

**Lake Bois d’Arc: Northeast Texas’s New Fishing Hotspot**

Lake Bois d’Arc in Fannin County has been open to the public since April 2024, and it’s quickly earning a reputation among Texas anglers. This newly-constructed lake has been on my wish list ever since the gates opened. With more design enhancements during construction than even Lake Fork, Bois d’Arc sets a new standard for fishing lakes in the region.

**Unmatched Habitat Enhancements**

During construction, Lake Bois d’Arc received a host of fish-friendly upgrades. Crews installed multiple brush piles and PVC fish attractors, and acres of timber and brush were left to be inundated with water. Several brood ponds were stocked with Florida Bass, resulting in a jaw-dropping 9-pound bass being caught within the lake’s first few weeks open. Rumor has it that the current lake record is slightly over 12 pounds, though it has yet to be officially certified.

**A Paradise for Crappie and Catfish Anglers**

Bois d’Arc is rapidly becoming a hot spot for crappie anglers. A quick internet search turns up plenty of local guides posting cleaning-table photos loaded with limits of big slabs. Catfish enthusiasts will also find success—recent whisker-fish stockings have been a hit, with catches coming in fast.

**Planning Your Visit**

I’m part of a group that gets together annually to spend a weekend at the lake—fishing, cooking, eating, and, most importantly, relaxing by the fire. At our age, rolling is easier than walking thanks to arthritis and other old age maladies, but those stories just get better with time.

While we’ve visited Toledo Bend, Falcon, and Fork, none of us have ever been to Bois d’Arc. For lodging, we found the Bois d’Arc Bungalows, several Airbnb options near the lake, and motels in nearby Bonham. If you prefer RVs or camping, there are several campgrounds in the area, including Bonham State Park.

**Boating & Facilities**

Lake Bois d’Arc features three public boat ramps: one at each end of the FM 1396 bridge, and another at FM 896. All are new and well maintained, with excellent day use and picnic areas for family or friends to enjoy.

**Current Fishing Conditions**

There’s plenty of vegetation and brush in the shallows right now—the next few weeks look especially promising for shallow bass. Buzz baits, surface lures, and squarebills worked along the edges of vegetation are producing consistent bites. While there is deeper action available, the surface bite remains my go-to until colder weather moves in.

Crappie anglers are reporting fish suspended 15–20 feet deep in 20–30 feet of water around the trees. Most are using forward-facing sonar, and the results are impressive: limits caught and excellent-sized fish. One online photo even showed a cooler full of magnum bream—still unconfirmed if it’s Bois d’Arc, but if so, it’s an incredible catch.

**Ready to Explore?**

Look for pictures and a detailed trip report coming soon. Lake Bois d’Arc is roughly a two-hour drive from Longview, so make plans to check it out soon!
