Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes about ignoring the opinions of others:
“Your boos mean nothing to me. I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

Important chart. S&P 490 has had basically no earnings growth since 2022, despite rampant inflation. It’s just 10 companies doing really well, while the broader economy is in contraction in real terms.

Call it what it is. The S&P500 is actually the “AI 10” crushing it and 490 other companies.

Nothing upsets me more than poor decision-making meetings.
You only need 3 questions:
a) what information do we need to make the decision?
b) do we have the information?
c) what's the decision?Be prepared with (a) and (b). The meeting's only concern is (c).

Let me tell you about one of my favorite quotes:
“Take a human desire, preferably one that has been around for a really long time… identify that desire and use modern technology to take out steps.”
That’s exactly what Mercury does. It takes one of the most basic human needs - managing money - and removes all the friction that’s been part of it for decades.
No more clunky interfaces. No more running to the bank for simple tasks. No more wasting time juggling a million tabs just to see the financial health of your company.
Mercury simplifies business banking by cutting out the unnecessary steps, so you can get back to running your business.
That’s why Mercury’s so great. And it’s already being used by 200,000 ambitious founders.
