California Gold Rush, the biggest get-rich-quick scheme in American history
How Sam Brannan became the wealthiest man in California without selling a single ounce of gold
/THREAD/
Californian residents were the first to rush into the area in late 1848.
By 1855 the number reached 300,000. It was the biggest immigration movement at the time.
The rise in population led to an expansion in various sectors, such as agriculture, ranching, and merchandising.
Many cities and infrastructure was built across California.
New methods of mining and transportation were developed creating a technological boom.
In today's terms, a single egg cost $25, and a pair of second-hand boots more than $2,000.
Gold worth tens of billions of dollars (in today's terms) was recovered.
Most of the profits were made by merchants and savvy entrepreneurs.
Others were industrialist Philip Armour, who was operating sluices controlling the water flow to the mined rivers.
Henry Wells and William Fargo, who started an enterprise that became one of the biggest financial institutions in the country.
He went around San Francisco shouting "Gold! Gold on theย American River!" while waving a vial with a small amount of it.
He was selling pans he bought for 20 cents each for up to $15 apiece, making more than $35,000 in 2 months.
That's how the saying "When everyone is looking for gold, sell shovels" came to life.

The Mother of All Squeezes
How Volkswagen went from being on the brink of bankruptcy to the most valuable company in the world in two days
/THREAD/
1/ At the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, Volkswagen was considered a very likely candidate for bankruptcy.
Heavily indebted and already financially struggling before 2008, with car sales expected to plummet due to the ongoing global crisis.
2/ With GM and Chrysler filing for bankruptcy in 2009, shorting the VW stock would seem a safe bet.
If you are not familiar with stock shorts and short squeezes check my thread
3/ On October 26, 2008, Porsche announced it had increased its stake at VW from 30% to 74%.
This was a surprise to many who were led to believe that Porsche wasn't planning a takeover of VW, based on the company's announcements.
4/ Before the announcement, the short interest was approximately 13% of the outstanding shares, a number considered relatively low.
Porsche had a 30% stake, the Lower Saxony government fund held 20% of the shares, and another 5% was held by index funds.

Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!
Has this man been concealing his true identity?
Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?
Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!
Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?
Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??
Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics โ https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj โ here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But โ there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus โ a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
