Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the SpaceX IPO:
"people gotta understand... [SpaceX] raised $75 billion... [and only] floated 5% of the stock... it's a very small float"
"[But its valuation], that's a different story"
"$1.7 trillion did not go to SpaceX. [It is] $75 billion. So people need to understand that"
"then when Anthropic and OpenAI, if they ever make it to IPO, they're going to raise about $100 billion each. So the total raised actual real money is about $300 billion between these three IPOs"
"Their valuations, that's a different story. And those probably won't hold and they'll probably, you know, go down 80%. So anybody buying these stocks at these prices is probably going to lose a lot of money if they hold on to them"

Lina Khan is quietly mapping out how New York’s incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani can use overlooked city and state laws to make daily life cheaper — from Yankee stadium beer to basic medicines, Semafor reports.
People familiar with the transition say she’s identified a broad “unconscionable pricing” rule and new transparency requirements for algorithmic pricing as early tools the city can enforce.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. Don’t wait for the perfect time, the perfect moment, the perfect day. It doesn’t exist, Perfection is not for this world. Before you end up miserable, act on it. Start today. Let the Almighty be your Guide.
My theory is that most men don’t leave because they stopped loving you. They leave because they think,“she doesn’t deserve to go through this with me”. So walking away feels like protecting you from their chaos. It really sounds ridiculous but that’s like some reverse love

Almighty. Forgive our sins. You know how much we have transgressed and how many sins we have committed. Do not take us to account for our weakness. Do not punish us for messing up repeatedly. We’re trying our best. Be merciful upon us. Aameen.
