Dear @SEC_News, this is an easy one: ask TSLA to show you the agreement(s) signed by their funding source(s) by 5pm EST that demonstrates the funding is “secured” and “certain.” If there is no such agreement, require a statement by 5:30pm. Inspire market confidence.

It’s not lost on us that free enterprise requires freedom. For the @NYSE tree lighting we asked “who should light it?” We thought of police officer Ryan Nash, who stopped the recent attack in Manhattan. We're honored that people like Officer Nash continue to fight for our freedom

The news over the past few days has been focused on market volatility. Allow me to add some context. While a 1,000 point swing seems dramatic in the current climate, this drop doesn’t even make the list of the top 25 percentage point moves in history.

This is ridiculous that I would be criticized on national TV for this very minor mistake. How could anyone keep these two identical countries straight? Both countries start with the letters “S” and “W” and both countries are famous for cheese, meatballs and Ikea.

Peter Munk passed away yesterday. Peter was a legendary businessman, as well as person. He fled Nazi-occupied Hungary in 1944, and ultimately built Barrick into the world’s largest gold producer. He came to visit the @NYSE recently and sent me this letter. What an amazing guy.

Sergio is an American hero who just happens to be a Canadian from Italian and Croatian parents. He saved 1000’s of jobs when he rescued Chrysler. He is also fun to be around. Get well buddy.
Sergio Marchionne’s sudden departure from Fiat Chrysler brings an abrupt end to an illustrious career that saw him transform a lossmaking minnow into a global automotive giant.

Make vaccines available to everyone over 55 immediately. Slow rollout is worse than fast rollout. If 50pct take it over next three months, we won’t run out. If we do run out temporarily, this is a good problem to have because so many have been innoculated. Why the red tape?.

The pace of innovation in digital assets is insane. The downside is that investing in digital assets is very risky. If anyone tells you about a “risk free” or “low risk” digital assets investment, run.

I have asked @SRuhle career and business advice regularly for 20 years. She is as smart & intuitive as anyone I know. Of course Kevin asks her advice. Kevin asks my advice on business issues too. This story belongs in a tabloid and not the WSJ and it is a tad sexist.
Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank was questioned last year by the company's board over his ties to MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who has traveled on his private jet and provided input on a range of business matters, according to current and former executives

I’m not able to watch the testimony but fortunately I’m able to get unbiased and comprehensive summaries of what is happening:. Republicans I follow: Dr. Ford’s testimony proves that she is forgetful, a lying jerk, or worse. Democrats I follow: Kavanaugh is toast. Got it.
