Thank you to @zbfuss and the entire @joincolossus team for inviting me on. John Deere and the ag eco-system provide the world with amazing outcomes by enabling cheap and reliable food. @patrick_oshag, we always appreciate fresh eyes @couttsagro if you want to make a visit! 🇨🇦
This breakdown of John Deere by @zbfuss and @mattcoutts_ was especially interesting to me, because I knew almost nothing about farming I also love that Deere, which is 180+ years old, is becoming more technology focused…“the empire strikes back” Enjoy! https://t.co/yYLD7Db9UX

Congrats to Beckett Sennecke on his 1st NHL goal to tie things up for the Ducks. What a play by McTavish, got tripped right before the goal, didn’t bitch just kept on chugging and dishes a dime back door. Here we go Ducks.

Few people have had as big an impact on finance as Thomas Peterffy, founder of Interactive Brokers. His story is mindblowing, no exaggeration. He grew up in the grip of communism and has spent the rest of his life promoting capitalism by making markets more efficient and cheaper
Thomas Peterffy is the 23rd richest person in the world, a chief architect of modern finance, and has one of the most remarkable stories in business. Yet he remains virtually unknown. Born in a Budapest basement during a Soviet bombing raid in September 1944, his father left

I’m very grateful for the 61.9% of the Bearer shareholders that voted for me and voted for fresh perspectives on Swatch Group’s board of directors. From the very beginning, I’ve made it clear to the Swatch board that I am not here to replace anyone, including Jean Pierre Roth.
