(1/10) The Asset-Light Economy 👾

“The four largest companies today by market value do not need any net tangible assets. They are not like AT&T, GM, or Exxon Mobil, requiring lots of capital to produce earnings. We have become an asset-light economy."

- Warren Buffett


(2/10) The End of Accounting 🧮

“The constant rise in the importance of intangibles in companies’ performance and value creation, yet suppressed by accounting and reporting practices, renders financial information increasingly irrelevant.”

- Baruch Lev and Feng Gu


(3/10) The Dark Matter of Finance 🔮

While intangible matter holds the financial universe together, it is not visible to the naked eye. Unstructured data contains info on intangibles but is large, noisy, and resistant to standard statistical analysis.
