Brand New Day, with its 43,000 members, is probably doing somewhere on the order of $430 million of revenue this year (43k members x $1k in premium per year) Ehhh...isnt that $43m?

Dont forget SAPE. When I heard of that I knew the SEO world was rougher than I had previously imagined. For those that don't know, its a Russian run marketplace for link injected/hacked sites. Really big, high quality sites.

Well, when did "flatten the curve to avoid overwhelming the health system" become "lets close gyms, churches, salons, non-chain stores indefinately but keep open Home Depot, Walmart, liquor stores, pot shops?" Or allowin

Well, it's pretty easy to know if you are in the 4th category. Recovered. Should someone that's been infected and recovered from COVID have to wear a mask?

At my old SP500 firm, Corp travel agents were always - and I mean ALWAYS - worse than what I could get from the airline directly. Why? Internal accounting. Some part of HR got to count part of the "fee" as revenue, billed against

Before we left,a former employer was about to force my team (with allin probably average individual compensation of $600000) from 81sq foot cubes to rows of connected desks of 36" width. This in a city with $20sq ft office rental rates

Spectrum Business quoted me a price $12/month more for a plan with a static IP vs one without. Absolutely crazy.

Well, sports. In my area, kids on the B team in FIFTH GRADE play over 55 basketball games a season. That's more than any college. It's the same lunacy for hockey, baseball, etc. They get social interaction from the team, sure. But

Except for people bored out of their minds, wanting to get away from their kids or spouse for an hour, etc. Also, there is an altruistic motivation - it feels like you are doing SOMETHING to help by being in this study.

I went with USBank. Small loan, under 50k. I'm a C Corp, one employee. They had issues (system wasn't up the first day was what I was told) but was approved on Wednesday, received money Thursday. I'm amazed it went as well as

Well before this crisis in mid 2019, China culled a majority of it's hog herd. I think it was African Swine Flu if I remember right. So they were already low on home produced protein when this struck.

Just so I'm clear...this analysis assumes the same amount of assisted breathing devices per capital as the Italian health Care system?

He could easily self publish. It's not like the government is forbidding him from writing; it's that other people don't want to be associated with it. That's not censorship.

Japan has very little immigration when compared to other countries. In 2015 ~2% of the population was from immigrants. The USA for comparison, has a 14.5% rate (+/- a few tenths, I'm pulling that from memory.)

This is a guess, but a pyramid scheme is illegal, and so calling 'legal' companies by the term might be considered slander. Since some of these companies live to bully through the court system, it's probably a conscious decis

When I actively managed money for mutual funds, we had limits on both total % ownership and how many days of volume we could own. We were small cap growth, so sometimes we could be stopped from owning as much of a company as we wanted becau

The Honda Clarity has no button to turn it off. My kids hate the attention it gets when I pull up to pick them up at school. It sounds like a spaceship full of slightly out of tune angels.

Exactly. We still have echo effects of the zombification of the economy since the 1990s as well. This series does a wonderful job explaining what is happening, through story and pictures. Whole towns are disappearing. Schools are opening

The bankruptcy is related to CA law. In most states they wouldn't have been liable for damages for the fires. Ergo, no bk. WSJ has really declined lately. [/Old man rant]

I think the idea is, you buy a bond for $98 to get $100 back on maturity in a year (as an example). So $2 cash does get injected/"printed" when debt levels stay the same or go down. We just issue more debt though in practic

Except San Francisco has a net outward domestic migration now. This is nothing new BTW. I remember back when training for a marathon in 2001, I had a conference in San Francisco. Dude dropped a duece outside a pay toliet (I guess you tried

I like the idea of the idea of Kickstarter but it's hard to argue against him for execution. I'm only on month 28 of waiting for my Superbook order to ship. Original estimated delivery date? Feb 17. Luckily nothing changed in co

You Tube TV. It's almost ready for the average couch potato, and certainly good enough if you watch 3 hrs at most of TV a week.

If I remember correctly, they built most of that debt load buying up all those stations. Rado stations aren't money losers. Loading up leverage to 12x cash flow on junk debt to buy stations, on the other hand...

Oh yes. Those poor folks in flyover country. Why, they can live in homes - the poor bastards. Maybe they are even forced to live on a lake, or God-forbid near a mountain. The horror! You need to get out more, my man

I say this a bit tongue in cheek because a large Corp doesn't think like this, but did you add more value to the firm in the past year than the first six months? If not, why would you expect to get a raise above inflation? At smaller f

Since you are pre-revenue, you are guessing. It (hopefully) is educated guessing, but in the end you are making a best-case projection. So you need to be able to back up whatever assumptions you can use. For example, some reports have mo

Since Sanofi previously had an equivalent product on the market for at least 3 years (called Auvi-Q), I'm really curious - why were people paying up for an Epi-pen? Was it the brand name? Do schools mandate it's an Epi-pen? I kno
