Every time I see tweets like these I think about the tech people I've met & the $500 Lanvins so many wear. Or the $1100 Owen kicks some of the CEO's wear. The shoes look like Converse but they cost like Gucci. Some cost more. They wear designer, just not the ones you know


The other thing a lot of them do? They have bespoke casual wear. So handmade t-shirts. Custom fit track suits. Hoodies that are designed specifically for them. Mostly a very specific kind of new money wears well known labels, but they all wear designer. Stop blaming clothes

The real difference between rich people and poor people is generational wealth. That's it. Your parents can afford to pay for your education. Leg up. You inherit property? Leg up. Your family can invest 6 figures in your start up? Leg up. Rich people in America have help.

They have help from before birth tbh. Because their grandparents contribute to college funds. They buy rental property & gift it to their grandkids. They had more than enough money for their own expenses so they left money. And the parents of rich people? Rich too.

It's not the Gucci belt that's a barrier to economic stability for people now. It's not having a time machine to undo the impact of 5 generations of poverty. Even the best "rags to riches, by my bootstraps" stories have generational wealth hidden in them. Usually a friend's.
SUBEX 💻

CMP:30

Technically given breakout at 19 only. I am posting this note after I got my own conviction.

Dont buy at one go, buy on DIP’s


-Positive points to be considered

SUBEX plans to foray into emerging verticals like Fintech&E-commerce by expanding digital trust business beyond its core area of Telecom sector

SUBEX is literally Zero /negligible debt company,hence it can focus on growth in new verticals

SUBEX main advantage is 75% of telecom companies are their clients

SUBEX now focusing on internet of things (IOT) , security and analytics and management expecting 140n to 200 crores additional revenue from new verticals

1/5 th of the global teleco’s tariff goes through company,counts British Telecom,Airtel,JIO,VI,T-Mobile,AT & T,Orannge and Swisscom and etc.

SUBEX has increased its employees by 15%

Key possitive factor for SUBEX is new and promising Management

SUBEX has massive leverage with the existing teleco customers thhey can take major advantage out of it to enhance their business in new areas such as IOT security,FinTech,Digital Trust, Cyber security & 5G.
The proposal for $2000 stimulus checks is divisive, and not along simple left-right lines. Lots of disagreement among progressives, with people like Bernie Sanders very pro but many others not on board. Both sides have a point 1/

My take: the economics aren't very good, but the political economy may make such checks necessary 2/

The key economic argument, which @crampell picks up on, is that given a slump that has affected people very unevenly, aid should concentrate on those actually suffering 3/

So if you have a fixed amount to spend, unemployment benefits and maybe small-business aid should be priorities, not checks that will in many cases go to people who are doing OK 4/

But is there a fixed amount to spend? No binding budget constraint for the feds, so this is all about politics. And my sense is that broad issuance of checks is actually kind of a loss leader, helping to sell a package that includes UI 5/
Which developed country would you say is facing the biggest economic slump of all? The conventional answer is the UK. Eg see this @OECD forecast. But here's a thread about an obscure bit of statistical small print which might mean we've been overstating the scale of the recession


Before we get onto the small print let's deal with what the numbers are telling us. And there's no doubt they're bad. Very bad. Indeed, the @OBR_UK reckons we're facing the biggest slump in GDP since 1709. Down 11% this year alone.


We won't get final 2020 GDP for months (and even that'll be subject to revision). But on the basis of the 1st estimate of Q3 GDP UK contracted at annual rate of 9.7%. So you can see where OBR are coming from
https://t.co/dXK7Mqx3Cd

* yes it was later revised; we'll get to that

In short: look at the headline GDP figures and it looks like the UK is facing an almost uniquely hideous recession. One of the worst in the world. That 9.7% fall is more than DOUBLE the fall in France, Germany and most other EU nations. Worse even than Spain (-8.7%).


This grim economic news has provided more fuel for those convinced Britain's COVID experience has been far, far worse than everyone's else - both in public health and economic terms. But I have for some time wondered about that chart 👆and whether it really makes sense...
1/10 I detest Warren simply b/c she's an inconsistent, low IQ, lying opportunist, & her "wealth tax" idea. What the majority of her stans fail to realize is that wealth doesn't mean money. Now she's on the wagon attacking retail investors-plebes. How do her actions hurt farmers?


2/10 Let's start w/ wealth tax. I believe I'm wealthy, but not in the financial sense. I have a loving family, patriarchs who taught me self reliance & the value of hard work, I've worked hard to get a good job, I have the most amazing fiance, I could go on but this is my wealth.

3/10 Yeah, we have acreage, cattle & goats, flocks of chickens, tracts of crop land & a fleet of 50+yo equipment/implements that have been purchased & repaired, then repaired again. We make modest salaries from our day jobs & are fiscally responsible. Farming isn't get rich quick

4/10 though, it's a break back life that sees you lucky to break out 15% in the black on your yields averaged. How does this wealth tax idea impact us? We already pay property taxes, fuel taxes, personal property tax on some equipment, income taxes when I report sold livestock &

5/10 crops, income tax on land leased to other folks, capital gains are applied to leased land too, then we have to title & tag the farm trucks that touch the road in any capacity, sales tax on supplies, feed & seeds, then sales tax IF I need to buy goods back. At the end of the
$ARPO Thread: Raz P2b glaucoma readout Dec 15 to Jan 15, assigning 90% POS, potential 3 to 5x, with (likely) partnership 1H21. Glaucoma dead for Big Pharma unless there’s a brand new MOA or pathway being targeted. Here we have both…a new MOA (Tie2) and a new location (SC)

https://t.co/zsc2eBVI4e Tons of great preclinical work on TIE2 MOA showing clear correlation to SC integrity, adult-onset glaucoma, and disease-modifying effects. See mosaic if interested


What do KOL's think of the new MOA: Special session held at ARVO 2019 to discuss Tie2 for Glaucoma. $ARPO then completed a closely watched P1b with a topical formulation. Now, a P2b trial in 195 pts enrolled within 3 mos, a month ahead of schedule, in the middle of a pandemic.

SOC is PG (-7 mm Hg IOP) +/- adjunct (-1 to -1.5 mm delta). Best efficacy adjunct is Rocklatan (-1.5), but AE profile: hyperemia (60 vs 15%), pruritus (8 vs 2%) site pain (20 vs 7%) vs PG , + other AE’s not seen with PG: 10% conjunctival hemorrhage, 15% verticillata. Almost DOA

But, sells $80 to $100M/yr US (same as $ARPO MC ha!). Every 0.3 mm reduction critical towards delaying vision loss. Rocklatan MOA was projected to make it a $1B drug, until AE profile (& payor delays) killed launch. $ARPO thesis: Raz efficacy >/= Rocklatan, without AE baggage.
