Personally I'd look at this exercise as a core part of their job I don't see how reporting on the financial results of the company to its owners on a quarterly basis is a distraction. Is this a huge endeavor for the finance/l

As i mentioned those cost are real for small public companies, and while potentially tens of millions a year for large ones its a rounding error for them (e.g. MSFT spent ~$80m/yr on Deloitte the past couple of years for audit work, le

What company doesn’t produce monthly financial statements, let alone quarterly. I could understand this for small caps. I also don’t see how less granularity in financials is a good thing, yes if you have bad quarter that bad (but at least

Yeah I had the same thought - I feel like either there was nowhere near as much gold as was touted or he was obnoxiously greedy/stupid. To your other point it wouldn’t be too hard to sell 10% of the gold to dealers with the proceeds &#

It would be really nice if say apple maps on my phone when connected to airplay could get the Fuel level in my car and distance to empty, and then when you plug in a route, and press add a gas station to my route, it picks the best one base

I think the realistic number is is more like 2-4% if it’s not supplemented by working (and sometimes even working) I also think when you add in things like paying for private school/ college, divorces, taxes, carrying cost of real esta

I'm not advocating for gutting renter's rights, but anecdotally having lived in 6 states, and adjusting for general costs of living it was easier to rent, and rents were cheaper in states that were less renter friendly than states

You’ll never get near the pay, but there are tons of companies, while profit motivated, have much more interesting missions than selling ads to people, that are starved for talent. I’m not saying you’re going to find the most talented colle
