Risk

March 30, 2016July 27, 2016 Jo Tango

Risk is an interesting thing. It’s always there, and how you divide it is the key question. I this morning read about Spotify’s $1 billion convertible note financing.

More on Marriage

March 27, 2016March 27, 2016 Jo Tango

Marriage is a hot topic on this blog. I a few days ago wrote about a New York Times article and made some observations about conflict in marriages. I wrote about how, IMO, most marriages eventually hit one of four major issues. I call them The Big Four: sex, money, in-laws, and how to discipline children. I
