![While Nike’s stock sinks amid several quarters of disappointment, Reebok appears to be undergoing a revival of sorts. “We do a wonderful job of content. We’re very careful of the players we select. One of our first selections was [WNBA star] Angel Reese … Her shoe has just been sold out,” NBA legend SHAQ told me at the Milken Institute conference this week. The former Laker is now Reebok’s president of basketball and the second-largest individual shareholder in its parent company, Authentic Brands Group. “We just do things that are very, very strategic,” he added. “You know, for me it’s trying to reintroduce Reebok to the kids … We’ve doubled in business [just like Authentic Brands Group CEO Jamie Salter has said] and we plan on continuing to grow.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2052443782465860040/amplify_video_thumb/2052442918388916232/img/09KjiVkIKlzxF5MJ.jpg)

If you aren’t paying attention to the companies behind a new wave of AI-driven drug development, you may end up missing out on essential investment opportunities. One company that has caught my attention is Chai Discovery, co-founded in 2024 by Joshua Meier. After graduating from Harvard, Meier began working as a researcher at OpenAI during the development of GPT-1 and GPT-2. He then worked at Meta's generative biology group, where he co-led the development of ESM1, the first transformer protein-language model. Chai Discovery is currently one of the buzziest startups in AI drug development. In December, the company completed a Series B funding round, raising an additional $130 million at a valuation of $1.3 billion, cementing its unicorn status. Joshua shares his story on my Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast on Yahoo Finance, and what's next: Watch 📈Yahoo Finance: Listen: 🎙️Spotify: 🎧Apple:

📈The Judy Shelton always with very interesting, in-depth thoughts on the economy. I like how she pushed back on Bill Ackman calling for an 'economic nuclear winter' this week because of tariffs when we talked this week. Said Shelton: "Well, I like Bill Ackman, and I think he's been very open-minded and kind of transferred over into the Trump camp. So he appreciates some aspects of that. I was a little disappointed to see that comment by Bill because it's kind of saying we cry uncle and that's it." Both are welcome on to discuss this further!

📈 About those rising government debt levels... "One thing that is clear is that democracies around the world are having trouble getting deficit spending under control," Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tells me on Yahoo Finance. "If you study history ... once you decouple currency from hard commodities, the inevitable story is they get overprinted and extended, right?" Armstrong said it's not a coincidence that #bitcoin prices are hitting records as US debt reaches all-time highs. "I want the US to remain the reserve currency status," he added. "But if the debt situation doesn't get fixed, I do think that eventually bitcoin will have to become the reserve currency for better or worse. It's not going to be the Chinese RMB because I think they have their own debt problems." More details:
