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."

You never know, Middle East tensions, the Middle East going up in flames, something like that could cause an explosion but absent that it is pretty much steady as she goes. The interest rate increase announced today, not unexpected, and the fact that we are going to have a few more later this year, again, not a big surprise."

Excerpt from NASDAQ -- "...Ad fraud and high frequency of targeting of irrelevant ads are pain points. What the Blockchain will do is, because of its transparent ledger system it will actually enable both the pain points to be addressed."

But it will take a little getting used to, he says, for consumers."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'Based on the research we did, there’s no question that Craigslist’s entry had a big effect on the newspaper industry,' Mr. Seamans said. 'The effect was the change in the way newspapers run their business. What we find is that, as Craigslist is entering different markets at different points in time, newspapers are shifting away from the classifieds ads model.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "I would say let's start with the mechanism which is mobile. I think it is incredibly important for them to focus on mobile, how to make use of it, what kind of investments to make, what are the targeting strategies with mobile. Number two is the imminent advances in artificial intelligence and analytics. Once you have a mobile strategy is to think about how you can use data and artificial intelligence. The third thing is blockchain. Blockchain is going to be a game changer."

That course, if you fast forward today, has 230 students and is the foundation of a whole program of FinTech courses that we have at Stern and the IOMS Department. This has caught the imagination of a lot of students, but also a lot of employers who are hiring many students in the space."

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "...being fair requires time and effort, and overworked managers may struggle to prioritize fairness when more urgent technical tasks demand their attention. For managers who want to ensure that they treat their employees fairly, it is important to shield being fair from other competing tasks.
