Joseph Calhoun 2. 85K Follower s Comments Summary The most common question I get is what exactly one could or should do when the market is this overvalued. The housing bubble that led to the 2008 crisis left nothing untouched in its aftermath. The only assets that put up positive returns in 2007-2008 were cash, bonds, and gold. There are plenty of reasonably priced assets from which to choose, so even if you believe this is a bubble and it’s about to burst, that doesn’t mean you have to take drastic measures like you did in 2008 or 2021. A few weeks ago I asked the question that everyone is asking today: Is This A Bubble? My answer, as it is for most questions about the future, is that I don’t know.

FBI informant jailed for Biden bribe claim released on medical furlough: lawyer
The FBI informant who sparked controversy by alleging that Joe and Hunter Biden took $10 million in bribes has been released from prison on medical furlough, his attorney told The Post.
Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty in December and received a six-year prison sentence for fabricating the story about the then-US president, as well as a separate charge of tax evasion.
“Since Mr. Smirnov’s arrest, he has required crucial eye surgery which was denied to him for an extended period of time, which only exacerbated an already serious condition,” his lawyer David Chesnoff said. “We appreciate the Bureau of Prisons recognizing the incredibly serious nature of his condition and agreeing to allow him to receive the necessary and lengthy procedures he is receiving.”
Smirnov, 45, had been incarcerated at a federal facility in Los Angeles. Chesnoff did not share his precise release date.
A federal judge refused to free Smirnov in May, citing flight risk concerns, despite his legal team’s claims that he is now legally blind.
Smirnov’s tip about the Bidens involved the Ukraine-based energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter Biden a salary of up to $1 million to serve on its board. This occurred while Joe Biden, then Vice President, led the Obama administration’s policy toward Kyiv.
The allegation, brought to light by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ultimately undermined the House Republican case to impeach then-President Biden for his numerous documented interactions with his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s foreign patrons in countries including China, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.
Health-related releases from prison typically last 30 days but can be extended. Lawyers for Smirnov intend to continue seeking medical furloughs.

Joe Torre Documentary Directed by John Turturro in Production
Joe Torre, the longstanding Major League Baseball player, manager, and executive, takes center stage in a new documentary directed by John Turturro and produced by Motto Pictures. The film, titled *Joe Torre*, chronicles the remarkable career of this iconic figure, who managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships—and achieved much more along the way.
Torre remains the only person in MLB history to have recorded 2,000 hits as a player and 2,000 wins as a manager, a testament to his extraordinary dual success in the sport.
“Joe Torre’s lifelong journey to the World Series is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, through a changing landscape and turbulent times. There’s something deeply human about Joe Torre’s quiet strength,” said Turturro in a statement. “In a time when men in sports hid their emotions behind toughness, Joe defied convention. His strength comes from compassion, his victories from understanding people.”
Currently in production, the documentary explores Torre’s life story—from a nervous child with an abusive father to a professional baseball player who won the league’s Most Valuable Player award (MVP) in 1971, and later to a manager who was fired three times before taking on his role with the Yankees.
Torre played in 4,272 games as a player and experienced a career as a manager before finally leading the Yankees to a World Series victory against the Atlanta Braves.
“It’s hard to imagine that a nervous Brooklyn kid who had low self-esteem could go on a journey like mine across more than 60 years,” Torre reflected in a statement. “I once didn’t think I was going anywhere. But baseball gave me a place to hide and ultimately the opportunity to find things in myself that I never knew were there. I am grateful that John Turturro, who witnessed the hometown dream I’ve been fortunate enough to live, is joining me to look back and tell the story in a personal way.”
Stay tuned for more updates on this compelling documentary that celebrates the life and legacy of one of baseball’s most respected figures.
