Excerpt from CyclingTips -- "Professor Barasch says that intent is critical. And bad news if you’re fixated on capturing something ‘Insta-worthy’.

Listen and help them find out."

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "As for the analysis of ReadyForZero users, Kuchler and Pagel advised removing one variable from the equation: temptation. 'Allow consumers to select a certain amount to be deducted from their regular paycheck to be put towards debt repayment, and to make it costly or complicated to change this selection,' they wrote."

Excerpt from TIME -- "'There are lots of reasons why being able to save matters. Being able to have a deposit account that doesn’t cost very much, gives them access to their funds and allows them to cash checks and wages they receive or government transfers — all of that is really valuable and it improves people’s lives,' said Kim Schoenholtz, a professor of financial institutions and markets at New York University. 'Postal banking is one way of delivering that, but it’s certainly not the only way of delivering it.'"

Excerpt from Fortune -- "In April, four economists released a working paper that gave green-bond fans reason for optimism. They found that municipal bonds labeled 'green' paid six basis points (0.06%) less in yield than nongreen bonds—and that the effect doubled or tripled for bonds that took the extra step of being certified green. Bond yields fall when buyers drive up prices, so the lower yields suggest that demand for green bonds is stronger than the norm. On a typical muni bond, that could result in millions of dollars in savings on interest. Compared with those benefits, 'the cost of certifying a green bond is modest,' says coauthor Jeffrey Wurgler, a professor of finance at the NYU Stern School of Business, while borrower and investor alike 'get a green glow.'"

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "'The great benefit of moving to six months: you cut in half this craziness, which people call "the earnings game" in which managers try to game analyst forecasts,' Lev said.

Excerpt from Nightly Business Report -- (9:45) "If you believe that something’s going to go up and you want to buy the stock and hold it, all the more power to you. By the same rationale, if you think something is overpriced, I think you should be able to bet against that investment. I think it's healthy for the market to have both optimists and pessimists in the room."

Excerpt from The Atlantic -- "'Highlighting the number of workers who are teachers can be a particularly effective way of advancing that narrative.' It helps humanize the companies. It emphasizes the message that these are safe alternatives to regular cabs and hotels—as Sundararajan puts it, 'If society trusts this person with our children, then I feel more comfortable sleeping in their bedroom.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I think one of the main reasons for studying market history is that things that happened in the past tend to repeat themselves, things like financial crises, we had one recently, it was kind of unexpected because we haven't had one for a long time. But just studying the way the markets behaved in the past, there are ups and downs, you can learn a bit about market cycles. An investor needs to know where we are, sort of, in a market cycle because that's valuable information."

Excerpt from Handelsblatt -- "Instead of dismissing a product as witchcraft, the good critic will offer counter examples but will also entertain the possibility that this product offers something that pure science ( in Goop’s case) has failed to offer. What would that be? A failsafe system to cure disease, to find happiness, and to fully connect mind, body, and soul. And let’s not forget that about 100 years ago, in the 1920s, doctors used to prescribe fresh air, sunshine, and the 'waters' when they could not offer a more scientific remedy to some people’s ailments."
 

Excerpt from the Toronto Star -- "'Because the underlying emotions associated with crying are often ambiguous,' the authors tell us, 'the underlying meaning of crying, in terms of what it says about the situation and the crier is also often ambiguous. As a result, we argue that determining the meaning of female crying at work may rely on assessment information other than the crier’s underlying emotions.'"

Excerpt from InsideSources -- “Partly this is pure power and jurisdiction, but also I think the states genuinely believe that ‘We the states do a better job of regulating financial entities that have a lot of consumer facing aspects, we do a better job of protecting our consumers.’ The feds have a tradition of neglecting consumers and being more partial to the businesses and banks that they regulate. So the states are saying, ‘We can do a better job.'”

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I've been frustrated by the storyline that Uber and Lyft are solely responsible for the increase in congestion that we've seen in New York...I don't see the approach of targeting just one contributor as being sensible so I think the one public transit service that New Yorkers really look to and that has steadily been increasing in quality over the last few years is now going to be capped and I think it's really going to hit the people in Brooklyn and Queens..."

Excerpt from NBC -- "'The rationale was "we can build up a consumer base quickly," said Paul Hardart, a clinical professor of marketing at NYU. 'Get a large subscriber base and then figure out.
