    Friday Afternoon Week-in-Review

    This week’s market lesson: it is not “risk-off.” It is “ambiguity-off.” Friday delivered a policy jolt (tariffs ruling), mortgage rates finally eased toward ~6%, and capital stayed available for deals that are clean, documented, and easy to underwrite. Next week’s mood-setter is Nvidia earnings—love it or hate it, it is the sentiment anchor for AI and broader risk appetite. I break it all down in today’s Friday Week-in-Review: markets, rates, real estate, crypto/stablecoins, policy, and a practical hot sales idea to win Monday morning. Listen, share, and tag the person who still thinks a messy data room is “fine.” Until tomorrow, be the best human you can be. ~ Teresa Grobecker ⁠Sign up for the daily newsletter on LinkedIn.⁠ ⁠GRO GROUP⁠ offering up to 100% financing for ground up developments, data centers and solar.

    The billionaire wealth tax just got real for me.

    A $60B data center sponsorship opportunity landed on my desk. The kind of platform that can change a career. The kind of “pinch me” moment founders and sponsors work a lifetime to earn. And then reality set in: California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax makes holding illiquid infrastructure equity while living in CA potentially untenable. Why? Because infrastructure wealth is not cash. A data center is concrete, steel, power infrastructure, covenants, and long-duration execution risk. You cannot sell off “a wing” of a 1GW campus to pay a tax bill. If the project does not distribute for years (common in megaprojects), the obligation becomes a forced financing event: dilute, lever up, or strip cash the moment it finally shows up. None of those outcomes are pro-growth.I am not posting this as politics. I am posting it as math and incentives. Capital moves. Sponsors move. Headquarters move. And the slow erosion is what people underestimate. Special thank you to Chris Hyland, who helped run the regression analysis on the financial consequences of this billionaire tax on me. I had a mental block until he helped me see the numbers in writing. If we want California to stay competitive in AI, power, and infrastructure, we have to get honest about what policies do to real-world project formation.#Infrastructure #DataCenters #California #CapitalMarkets #EconomicDevelopment #AI #ProjectFinance #TaxPolicy Until tomorrow, be the best human you can be. ~ Teresa Grobecker ⁠Sign up for the daily newsletter on LinkedIn.⁠ ⁠GRO GROUP⁠ offering up to 100% financing for ground up developments, data centers and solar.

    CPI & Chill: Tech had a tantrum, bonds had a glow-up, and tomorrow’s CPI holds the remote.

    Markets leaned defensive into today’s CPI release: tech sold off, bonds rallied, and risk appetite turned data-dependent. In this episode, we cover the inflation setup, where rates and mortgage pricing sit, what the labor signals imply for housing, the latest CRE financing pulse, a major asset-management M&A headline, and why stablecoin revenue is becoming the “boring but durable” side of crypto. Plus: today’s hot sales idea—a CPI-day client sweep—and a nod to SIMERP’s no-cost employee benefit program that can save about $630/year per employee, alongside grow group’s ability to structure up to 100% financing for data centers, solar farms, oil and gas, and ground-up development.
