Fabrizio Romano: “How do I get info on transfers? Many players send me DMs directly, or I also send them DMs to ask for information.
Sometimes, they tell me ‘please, can you say something about me because I want to leave the club?'”
Its pretty amazing to see. Revolut ads are starting to take over an airport near you. These positions used to be controlled by HSBC, but it really does feel like the world is changing in banking – and we are finally getting a good product.
HL offers access to “major international exchanges” (like Stockholm, Paris, Frankfurt, NYSE, Nasdaq, etc.), but they don’t automatically make all companies on those exchanges available.
HL curates what’s listed for retail clients.
Foreign shares often involve dividend tax, rights issues, and corporate actions. HL simplifies its offering to avoid the cost/complexity of handling lots of “long tail” small companies overseas.
HL passes some overseas custody and settlement costs onto clients in its dealing fees.
If a stock would require unusually high back-office overhead, HL may simply choose not to offer it to retail clients.
Some companies, even though they’re on the Stockholm Exchange, might trade only in certain share classes (A vs B shares, for example). HL typically lists the more liquid share class (usually the B shares in Sweden). That’s why you’ll sometimes find “Rokob” but not “Rokoa.”
This is getting a little crazy. Lululemon is down to 13x earnings.
I know they have a lot more competition now than they had 2 years ago. However, they are still only focused on the female population.
Tesla is offering Elon Musk a $1 trillion pay package if he is able to hit specific targets for the company over the next 5 years.

Have you ever looked at your pizza oven and wished it was just a little bit smarter? Ooni has, and so its new Volt 2 comes loaded with “Pizza Intelligence,” an adaptive heating system designed to deliver a more even and consistent cooking temperature.
Why does everything need to have the AI buzz word attached to it at the moment. An AI Pizza Oven – just sounds stupid.
It would be great if you could just put in the pizza and its cooks to the perfect temperature automatically, without having to program it at all.

Marshall just introduced its very first party speaker, the Bromley 750. The speaker resembles a guitar amp, which aligns perfectly with the company’s heritage. After all, instrument amps are essentially powerful speakers in their own right.
This Bluetooth speaker features a replaceable battery delivering over 40 hours of playback on a single charge. It produces 360-degree stereophonic sound that Marshall claims will “find its way through any crowd.” Additionally, it includes a “sound character knob” for adjusting tone from clear (ideal for indoor use) to punchy (better for outdoor settings).

TikTok’s UK subsidiary has published its latest financial results covering operations in Europe, the UK, Latin America and Africa. The report shows revenue growth of 38% to $6.31bn in 2024, while the company significantly reduced its operating losses from $1.37bn in 2023 to $484.6m last year.
Filed with Companies House in the UK, these results primarily address financial performance rather than user statistics. However, earlier this year TikTok separately disclosed user numbers for the European Union. The platform reached 159 million monthly active users across the EU by the end of 2024, with its largest markets being France (25.1 million), Germany (24.2 million), Italy (22.8 million) and Spain (21.9 million).
Revolut has achieved a remarkable milestone: it is now the largest bank in Lithuania by assets, just five years after securing its license there. According to the central bank, Revolut now commands 30.8% of the Lithuanian market, overtaking long-time leaders Swedbank (24.4%), SEB (19.6%), Luminor (10.5%) and the recently rebranded Artea (6.6%).
Licensed in Lithuania but serving 50 million customers across 30 EEA countries, Revolut has rapidly grown its local footprint with more than 650,000 Lithuanian clients. In 2024 alone, retail customers grew 24%, business clients 57%, and youth accounts 47%. This year, Revolut also entered the housing loan market, further cementing its presence alongside its full suite of digital banking, credit, investment, and savings products.
While others are trying to take legal action against Midjourney – Meta is partnering with them for AI image and video creation.
The Midjourney partnership could help Meta develop products that compete with industry-leading AI image and video models, such as OpenAI’s Sora, Black Forest Lab’s Flux, and Google’s Veo. Last year, Meta rolled out its own AI image generation tool, Imagine, into several of its products, including Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Meta also has an AI video generation tool, Movie Gen, that allows users to create videos from prompts.
