Our Content
Each week, we send out an email split up into three different sections: Business Banter, Finfact, and a stock assessment.
-
The Business Banter section covers anything from miraculous tales of startup successes to intriguing anecdotes like the year Mark Zuckerberg actually ate what he killed.
-
The Finfact section introduces a new piece of financial terminology each week, accompanied by a comprehensive explanation that will make you sound smarter than all of your friends.
-
The Stock Assessment section includes a quick analysis of a publicly traded company and rates an investment on a scale of 1.0 - 10.
