Excerpt from Barron's -- "There's talk of them acquiring some TV networks and to get scale in content really quickly and fill in some niches because those assets have been beaten down from a valuation standpoint and Amazon has the ability to monetize them, not with just advertising, but because if they create more intensity across their Prime relationships, which are now 60% of US households, then they can sell more paper towels and more stuff to them."

Excerpt from Nightly Business Report -- "I think they are going to start seeing it very soon especially if you shop through retailers like Etsy or Wayfair. I think Wayfair is probably one of the biggest losers here. They are a site that advertises themselves as a place where you don't have to pay sales tax. Amazon is probably going to see some impact but they are big enough to be able to absorb any loses that come from their sellers having to charge sales taxes. This certainly shifts the power in the online retail space away from the smaller players and toward the bigger players."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I’m most proud of completing the federal regulatory approval process for the LaGuardia Airport Central Terminal Building Redevelopment Program.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Being a single mom of a teenage daughter, full-time physician, and executive MBA student is a real challenge. I learned to prioritize and structure my time efficiently so every minute is used with purpose."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'The two key elements of global growth have remained the U.S. and China, and now the U.S. and China are on the verge of a trade war,' he said. 'There are actually signs of a slowdown of global growth in emerging markets, and the Fed keeps on tightening. So, this is a moment of some degree of fragility.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "'A robot has no consciousness, no ethics,' says Vasant Dhar, a professor of information systems at New York University’s Stern School of Business who runs a robo adviser for institutional investors. For a robo to qualify as a fiduciary, 'you’d have to have a machine that has a strong moral code and understands the implications' of violating it, such as a regulatory fine or lawsuit, he says."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "I think in a strange way these stocks are benefiting from the big tech companies succeeding as much as they have, because almost all of these stocks have come into play and some of the price you see in there is almost an acquisition premium that you're paying so you are hoping that these stocks will be taken over by somebody else in that war for tech. So I think that there is a point in which you have to ask, are these companies becoming too large to be acquisition targets."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "To gauge relative performance, they compared baskets of stocks with the best and worst scores on a credit-quality test published in the late 1960s by New York University finance professor Edward Altman."
