The spread kind of can be counted twice: if you tell management “we’re going to make $100k (10% return) in profit this year” and you end up paying $1000k and selling for $900k instead of $1100k like you planned … management is going to be l

Beginning of the end happened before that because most healthy companies don’t need private equity unless they need a lot of cash for an expansion. Part of the reason they got in that position is that they were charging to little to make mo

ZX81 was my first computer, putting the kit (!) together with my dad. Didn’t work so sent it back and got a pre made one, found out later that at least 1/3rd of the kits didn’t work. That, going through 101 Basic Computer Games, and t

Ivars lost their lease and left in 2018. Anthony’s seafood is also gone. I think there might be an Ivars kiosk.

The article mentions 1 million mussels in the size of a tennis court. Course they probably weren’t living that close to one another. As for the percent of the total mussel population the article didn’t say.
