The Millennium private placement has 🐿️ thinking about valuations. A $14bn price tag for a minority stake in one of the Big 3 'pod shop' giants would tuck Izzy's millionaire factory in between - checks notes - Cooper $COO (a contact lens company) and UHS (private hospitals) in the S&P 500. Huh????

Everybody’s jet lag hack is personal. I have found that arriving in my new destination in the evening is my secret to time zone conquest. This belief nudges me towards ‘The Chairman’s’. Also, the advent of in flight WiFi means that time at 30,000 feet can now be quite productive. When it works!
