Excerpt from Forbes -- "The headlines about the valuation of Tesla seem to multiply along with the company’s share price. As the electric-car maker’s market value recently topped $100 billion, it’s clear that Elon Musk has driven Tesla into a new zone. But, Tesla’s peak is not necessarily because Wall Street believes Musk is doing everything right."

Excerpt from InvestorPlace -- "'The unbridled profit maximizing ‘objective functions’ that are applied at scale will continue to abuse data to the extent they can get away with it. The communications act of 1996 protects them. This should change. California’s consumer protection law is a step in the right direction in that it puts businesses on notice for violations, namely, if the data are used for purposes other than those stated by the data collector. But enforcement will not be easy.'”

Excerpt from Phoenix Satellite TV -- "Shopping could be fun or it could be better advice. You would go to Home Depot and somebody advises you on what to do, or even your local hardware store and they help you out. Those are situations that people are probably still willing to pay extra. Even though online may be cheaper and more convenient, we're still social animals. We still want to hang out with other people and you can't just spend an entire day behind the computer.'"

According to Thomas Philippon, the answers are “more concentrated than in Europe, and more concentrated than any other time in recent American history,” and, more simply, 'yes, it’s a big problem.' Last week on Political Economy, Thomas and I delved into this argument, outlined in his recently released book, The Great Reversal: How America Gave Up on Free Markets."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "The company can also save money through not having to pay banks marketing the company to investors as much.

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Bed-in-a-box peddler Casper Sleep Inc. is touting a rapid growth story ahead of its anticipated initial public offering on Feb. 5, but its proposed valuation appears too rich for its business model, says New York University’s Aswath Damodaran."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "One of the most valuable aspects of our program, as we often hear from current students and alumni, is Stern’s collaborative community. For each incoming class, our Admissions team carefully recruits and selects experienced executives with an average of 12 years of work experience. Students become part of a senior cohort of peers from a diverse range of industries and learn from each other as well as Stern’s top faculty, who are handpicked to teach in the EMBA Program. Students end up building a life-long professional network in the program that extends into our vibrant alumni community. And, with the addition of our DC program, we’ve deepened the engagement of Stern alumni based in Washington who now have access to even more local events and featured speakers.”
