👿 “Don’t Pick Duke” — March Madness investing advice. Google’s biggest acquisition. Corporate Nickname Curse.

Duke is the #1 pick to win March Madness… but that’s a lesson in dumb investing.

Google is buying Wiz for $33B… And every Wiz employee is getting $588,000.

Corporate Nicknames are actually a curse… Chevy, Mickey D’s, & Bloomies are bad for biz.

Plus, time-poor millennials are paying time-rich gig workers $27/hr to wait in line.
