"Vulnerability doesn’t come after trust—it precedes it. Leaping into the unknown, when done alongside others, causes the solid ground of trust to materialize beneath our feet." Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups

"When we hear a fact, a few isolated areas of our brain light up, translating words and meanings. When we hear a story, however, our brain lights up like Las Vegas, tracing the chains of cause, effect, and meaning. Stories are not just stories; they are the best invention ever created for delivering mental models that drive behavior." Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups

$ABBV acquisition of $AGN Thread

1/6 I’m going to disagree with myself from yesterday and publicly change my mind.

After digging in deeper, I now see why AbbVie $ABBV is eager to acquire Allergan $AGN. And I think this deal makes sense for shareholders. https://t.co/SFdj1dsVdl

$SCHW Thread

$SCHW CFO at annual meeting: "Our stock price is not the only barometer or, certainly in the ST, even the most accurate barometer for our success in executing on our strategy. And rarely has that been more true, I think, than in 2018 and, particularly, the latter part of 2018." pic.twitter.com/jEDsI8Mzek

"Historically, the stock market is like a gambling casino with the odds in your favor. Over the long pull, stocks are given something like nine and a half to ten percent compounded per year. The banks have probably given you something in the order of four to five." Burton Malkiel

$FRC Thread

(1/n) So a follow-up to this thread on $FRC. After going through the numbers more, it became clear to me that since $FRC makes the lion's share of its total income from NII, it's super exposed to changes in NIM. https://t.co/4IKHEuXgue

IPO's

1/ 80% of new IPOs have no profits. Last time that happened was 2000 before the bust.

We know why. But how may it end?

Why: A handful of old people artificially decide and set the price of money—and lowered it.

Consider:
Retirees with 1M earning $50k (5%) instead got $10k...
