Whenever I submit a term sheet, I always caveat it by saying the following: “This is the one time we’re completely misaligned. I’m incentivized to buy up as much of the company at as low a price as possible and you’re incentivized to sell as little of the company as possible by raising the price.”. Founders seem to get that. The price negotiation process is pretty straightforward, and once a deal has been agreed upon we move on.

I went to renew a.ETH domain I own this morning and the gas fees were so high that I decided to come back another time. Ethereum is the most popular smart contract blockchain by far but it frequently gets congested and expensive. Using it to acquire and renew domains, normally a transaction that costs less than $100 USD, is challenging. That is why there are a host of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible layer one blockchains (L1s) and a number of layer two networks (L2s) that run on top of

With the death of a loved one, one question we often get is, “What assets are entitled to a step-up in basis and what assets aren’t entitled to a step-up in basis at death?” To define what we mean by step-up in basis , sometimes referred to as stepped-up basis, here is an example: Your mother purchased 100 shares of XYZ company at $10 per share in 1950, costing her $1,000, which is her “basis.

That destination is the 6529 Museum District and you can visit it here. When you arrive you will see this map which gives you a sense of what is there right now. All of these museums are fun to visit, but I particularly recommend: – Genesis. – Sunshine Square. – Imagined Worlds. – General Assembly.

Dear Mr. Market

APRIL 29, 2022

Dear Mr. Market: Does the old stock market adage of “sell in May and go away” make sense? We’ve actually written about this one spring about nine years ago where we actually advocated taking some chips off the table, however it had less to do with a cute stock market rhyme and more due to profit taking. Where are we at now going into May and is this allegedly poor seasonal time of year appropriate to sell or perhaps not?

I’m tired of these nonsense “top advisor” lists based on AUM or how many Twitter followers somebody has. I feel that to proclaim that somebody is a top advisor based on AUM or Twitter followers is an abridgement of morality, and it is my goal to overshadow any media voice that claims as such. So here’s a blog about some things that ethical financial advisors do in the hopes they will serve as an example of right behavior for the rest of the industry to follow.
