Excerpt from WalletHub -- "The issue is the uncertainty surrounding the extent of the tariffs/restriction imposed by Trump. Tariffs are bad for the economies of all involved.

Once a trade war starts there is no doubt that the markets will decline big time."

The company was a way to monetize Cole’s popular Instagram account with 400,000 followers, and his eye for aesthetically pleasing, emotional images with 'prescriptive thought/messages.' The result, he believed, was artwork Millennials would want on the walls of their homes and offices. The company claims it has been cash-flow positive since its first month and is approaching $10 million in sales since launching 15 months ago. Ikonick has signed deals for Muhammed Ali and the NBA."

Excerpt from Coinbase -- "Yermack says he first developed the class because he was interested in bitcoin and how quickly interest in the cryptocurrency was growing. But other reasons soon emerged, notably demand from companies for people who understood cryptocurrency-related issues.

'A process is well underway that will lead to the migration of most financial data to blockchain-based organizations,' he says. 'Students will benefit greatly by studying this area.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'When adult-supervised activities crowd out free play, children are less likely to develop the art of association,' Lukianoff and Haidt write, along with other social skills central to the making of good citizens capable of healthy compromise.

So that's the missing link between this efficient firm and this relatively inefficient economy."
