Turning that frown upside down during a period of complex issues. $JEF 🌤️ "It is so easy to get pulled into the abyss. We continue to be bombarded by large headlines: two major wars, $100+++ oil prices, AI displacing jobs and possibly opening the door to new cybersecurity issues, an upcoming U.S. midterm election, and violence as a daily reality in many parts of the world."

Am I the only one who feels like I accomplished something by charging my Oura ring? ⭕️

We will embrace AI in almost everything we do at @Jefferies, but our world will revolve around people. $JEF "Clearly there is endless potential in the constantly evolving and breathtaking advances of artificial intelligence. Many of us, as well as Jefferies overall, are embracing these advances with purpose and excitement, and are already seeing how this technology can make us better at what we do and in how we live. That said, there is an uncomfortable feeling many are experiencing that knowledge workers will now be replaced by technology that is smarter, faster, more accurate and indefatigable than any of us.” Read the full letter here bit.ly/4bhQUcM

@BillAckman @DrEliDavid Who was the hungry junior retail stock broker who gave you the idea? 📈

@DrEliDavid Don’t forget the move in the currency! I am a U.S. dollar investor.

Three months after the October 7 massacre, @BillAckman bought 5% of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Since then, he has seen a massive 8x return on his investment. Never bet against Israel 🇮🇱 _

@ScottWapnerCNBC @Gord2100 @HalftimeReport So he’s saying he was so captivated by the first half that he was paralyzed by half time?!

@Gord2100 @HalftimeReport What else did you like about the show?

,@HalftimeReport - As a long-time viewer, I just wanted to say that I found the second half of today’s show a complete waste of my time. @ScottWapnerCNBC

Our @Jefferies 2025 Annual Shareholder Letter hot off the press.... "With apologies to Charles Dickens, 2025 was neither the best of times, nor the worst of times, but it was, indeed, a tale of two halves. The first half was downright mediocre, as our heightened expectations for increased capital formation and strategic transactions failed to materialize due to a “complex” environment. The second half, while not yet “great,” saw the macro and regulatory environment calm, which paved the way for what we believe may have been the true beginning of a long overdue period of constructive strategic activity and new issuance in the capital markets."

@jawwwn_ Other bankers don’t like me either, perhaps for dif reasons. Maybe we should hang sometime? 😄

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “We couldn’t get bankers to underwrite Palantir.” “They were like— you’re not going to make any money and we sure as hell aren’t gonna make money. “Honestly, they still hate us. I can’t find a banker that likes me. I’m like— could you look at my bank account? None of them will meet with me even today. This is not hyperbolic.”

@VegasMikeL @Jefferies Too nice. 🙏🏼❤️

@HandlerRich @Jefferies It’s been a long time without any tweets — come back to X, Richard! And congratulations, master of strategic partnerships, on your expanding relationship with Hildene Holding Company!

If you ever wondered why finance matters, Doug Phillips managed the @UofR endowment for 25 years and he and his team consistently outperformed which resulted in billions of extra dollars going to our Hospital , the Rochester community, scholarships, professorships, and all the other important work that great Universities do! #meliora 🐝

@DanielSLoeb1 @GavinSBaker Ok, I went by height.

@HandlerRich @GavinSBaker Nice save. Actually Paul spoke before me.

I’ll have to work harder for top billing next year. Always a pleasure to share a stage with @GavinSBaker and my old boss @HandlerRich. So great to be with the resilient tech and investment community as well as so many friends.

@GavinSBaker @Jefferies @BillAckman @DanielSLoeb1 @generalcatalyst Spicy! 🌶️😁

Note to Team @Jefferies explain the markets are ready to go and so are we! $JEF "After an uncertain and somewhat frustrating fiscal first half of 2025 for all of us, the capital markets seem to have regained their footing, with activity progressively increasing starting in June. Our frustration was clearly exacerbated by the high level of optimism and great expectations that permeated our industry as we entered 2025." Read the full note here bit.ly/41vBKeJ
