We all know Elon Musk got scot free of the securities charges filed against him for his 420 2018 tweet. Stavros Gadinis, Director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Law and Business: “I think they fell for the argument that Musk did not set out to deceive investors, but that he …
There aren’t many blogs dedicated to men’s self-improvement left in the world. Even less so blogs written by finance professionals. Since years ago, I subscribe to the updates to two blogs [left] that define their space, one is David Asprey’s and another Michael Syding’s, the former [and more recently, active] …
It seems that every time I write about HBS, the more I get attacked. The WSJ did a piece on Harvard’s Yacht parties last weekend: The Ultimate M.B.A. Networking Event? A Yacht Party in Croatia. (they don’t get attacked, since journalism on that scale can’t be silenced). The folks who …
