In my experience, product management is an innate skill that is very hard to learn or teach. This is not to say that you can’t get better at it, just that it doesn’t involve the sorts of skills that are easy to teach in a classroom, it is m

The overall point holds, but this is more like 0.75 years of profit, or less ($424B market cap x 2.76% dividend yield is a basic calculation, but there's all sorts of accounting reasons why this might underestimate actual profit).

A 9-figure acquisition sounds like a lot, but consider that this is less than 0.05% of JP Morgan's market cap. Their market cap is down $6 billion today, and it's not even a particularly notable day. And it's not like that mo

It would actually be pretty poetic. 100 years ago, Detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in the world. It was perhaps the center of the US economy. The Model T was introduced in 1908 and by the 1910s and 20s, there were more than a dozen

This is pretty wild, but at the same time, it should be noted that SVB is a commercial bank. The average salary at J.P. Morgan is much lower because they have tons of people working relatively low wage teller (and other retail branch) jobs.

Buy a pasta straining spoon. It’s basically a large spoon with holes in it that replaces a full size pasta strainer. Is it better than a pasta strainer? No. Is it easier to clean, absolutely. I use mine all the time.
