    Exiting the Slowlane by Buying a Business

    HOT! SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Sorry I missed this; I'm still around. I took the advice of some you here and have spent the past 2 years travelling and having some fun. I wound up meeting my wife and following her all over the world during the pandemic. We recently got married and are in the process of applying for a green...

    CULTURE OF IRAN

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I've met plenty of Persians in Houston who fled when the Shah was overthrown in the 70s. They are proud of their culture but despise the current regime and what they've done to the country, particularly when it comes to women. They never go back to visit for fear of being imprisoned while there...

    In reversal, Twitter plans to comply with Musk’s demands for bot data Guess they're going to hold his feet to the fire and make him go through with the deal, or make him cut a check for $1bn to walk away.

    This was a great read. My take away is that if you know how to market and have good customer service, you can make good money doing pretty much anything. Thanks for sharing this.

    Elon Musk acquires Twitter, Discuss

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA CHAT 
    Imagine entering into $44bn deal before doing any actual due diligence. This is going to get messy. My gut feel is Elon has buyer's remorse and is using this as an excuse to try to avoid the $1bn breakup fee. Let the lawsuits begin (or actually increase since Twitter's shareholders have...

    Wife lives here for work. She just got a job offer in the States, so she'll be out of here in a few months. I'd never been before, so I figured I'd help her pack and see this place while I still can.

    Currently on day 3 of hotel quarantine in Hong Kong. Upon arrival at the airport, you're immediately taken for Covid tests. They swab both nostrils as well as your cheeks. One is for a rapid test they do immediately, the other for a PCR. After the rapid test shows negative, they take you to a...

    From an 8-figure e-commerce business to $280k in debt. What to do now?

    Thanks for sharing this. It takes a lot of courage to share failures. You've taken more action at age 18 than a life time slowlaner like me has done at 41. I think the fact that you're out there taking action and learning is most of the battle, and the given that you've already had success...

    Yeah, we're in the process of going through the green card process so she can move to the US. She's an airline pilot, so needs to be current with her flying. She's already talking to a few airlines here, and as soon as we have a better idea of the green card timing, she'll give her notice and bail.

    My wife lives in Hong Kong for work and wants me to go back with her in June and spend a few weeks there. I'm really not wanting to go. We will have to quarantine in a hotel for 1 week on arrival, that's assuming our flight actually runs. Right now, if more than 3 people test positive from a...

    Any experience or words of advice in the financial industry as an entrepreneur?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Develop trading strategies / indicators that people could use in software such as TradingView, ThinkorSwim etc. Market Cipher is a good example of this. Easily scalable and markets itself if you can show it works through backtesting. Appealing to people's greed is a great marketing strategy.
