Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "'I think it's likely that there will be some deal. It might not be a 100% deal, but it's likely to be an 80% or 90% deal by December. That would mean that tariffs would fall, and I don't think I agree 100% with Goldman when they say they expect tariffs to persist... My expectation is that there is going to be a deal and a big percentage of the tariffs are going to disappear by the beginning of 2020.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'At this point it looks like Uber is trading of growth for profitability. I think that in the long run once autonomous vehicles actually become a reality, the growth potential of this sector is going to be immense. What I've been hoping is that Uber can hold on, continue to grow steadily until that point without paring back on user growth and going after profits too soon. I think today's numbers are telling us that their CEO is focused very heavily on profitability, whether than taking the Amazon strategy of saying 'we're profitable in some of these markets, let's sacrifice profits for growth.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- “'My impression is that this is a company that does seem to care beyond the bottom line,' said Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'But you also have to keep in mind, it is still a highly efficient competitor.'”

Excerpt from Fortune -- "There's something called concept testing where you test the idea, and then product testing where you test does it live up to the concept.

That’s just over 7% of the company’s peak valuation of $1.1 billion around three years ago. This valuation meltdown for Shopclues is 'one of the biggest in India’s startup history,' according to Anindya Ghose, a professor of technology, operations, and statistics at New York University’s (NYU) Stern School."

Excerpt from Cosmos -- "There was no better example than in tennis, the researchers say. They found that players committed more double faults when facing an opponent with status momentum.

In other words, business school served as a safety net that kept the pressure at bay. Even more, she leveraged her alumni connections to amass early seed funding."
