Excerpt from Forbes -- "The most egregious valuation mistake that I see investment professionals make is mistaking pricing for valuation.

Any time you use a multiple comparable you’re not valuing the company, you’re pricing a company."

So we really asked ourselves what can we do to get more insight into a person’s emotional intelligence into their character.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I did expect the government to appeal. The government might not be able to reverse the decision -- that is, to not allow the merger at all -- but maybe will be able to impose various conditions.

So the government might have a good chance in imposing some conditions."

Excerpt from Financial News -- "Roubini, the famously bearish NYU economist, who earned the nickname ‘Dr Doom’ for predicting the financial crisis, said: 'For bitcoin to be a currency it has to be a unit of account, a means of payment, and a stable store of value. It is none of these. Bitcoin is not even accepted at Bitcoin conferences, and how can something that falls 20% one day and then rises 20% the next be a stable store of value.'"
