It was like me and one other girl, this went on and on. And it was supposedly going to be the next big thing. The most funniest pilot script all season. So we all convinced I was getting it. It was really, really killing me. I end up not getting it. And I was so soul crushed. I remember going home and I didn't even want to get out of bed. I was so depressed. And like at 16, that was the first time I truly felt a loss of a job. I'd never really cared until that point got me. And I was 16. I was like, I don't want to do this anymore like this. It really hurt me. And the next day, my agent called, who I'm still with today, of the same team, my whole amazing. I saw this. It's 15. So my agent roe, who I'm still with today, call me. She goes, there's another show that ABC has. It's called 8 simple rules, and they want to see you for it. And I was so like, I didn't want to go. And so I ended up going in an auditioning and I end up getting that pilot. And those two pilots were the only ones that Disney shot that ABC shot and of course funkhouser's never. Yeah, right. Of course, like all this meant to be crazy. And I don't know if you know this, but it was supposed to John Goodman was supposed to be the dad in 8 simple rules. I did not know. Yeah, whoever knows why he pulls out, no one knows why and we're waiting to hear. So all the kids and Katie's to go, we were all cast. And we hear John as John Goodman is pulled out. We finally hear through the great vine. There was no social media. Deadline. There was nothing to read. So we hear John Ritter joining the show. And for me, I didn't even know who that was. Right. And my parents are like, we love John Ritter, and I'm like, who is that? Like, this is so what? And I'm kind of learning no idea, and what ends up the best year of my whole life with him. I mean, I remember I was 16. I just got my license. And again, I begged my parents to let me drive myself to the table read because I was just starting to drive by myself. So they let me, and I drove by myself to the table read, and because the character was so sexy, I thought, okay, I should probably dress like the way I got it, right? So I had these ridiculous outfit on. And I'm sitting at the table read and John has not arrived everyone's waiting and in comes John larger than life. He's saying hi to everybody and I'm like so excited, nurse to meet him. And he walks over and I'm sitting in the chair and I'm like, hi, and he goes, he looks at me, doesn't say one thing, takes his jacket off, puts it over me and never dressed like that again. And goes and sits down. And I was dying in that moment. He was like a dad to me. Yeah, yeah. It was the best.

For this insightful conversation and Is there anything that you wanted to share in closing. Closing is just going back to being an investor i is you've got you've got to be diversified and you've gotta find you've got to take control of your financial future and i think it sounds like you guys are helping people do that and i think that's fantastic. I think you can't just outsource stuff because it sounds complicated. Because if you do you're not gonna you're not gonna get the returns that are going to get you to a comfortable place retirements. You've gotta go out and find those alternatives That i don't know about but but offer two three four x returns that most people are used to to their conventional investment vehicle. So i think my message people who just take control of it and take the time to understand it excellent excellent. Thank you for sharing that today. Bruises or anything that you wanted to share as we wrap up today he catch used the word control you know over and over and over and that's what we we preach all the time also and it's the kind of analysis we talk about this all time. It's really about cash flow. It's nice to get appreciation and right now in the in the alternative investment world because of inflated asset prices. You're getting that but it's really about cash flow in all it's it's line. Algae here would be saying you know if you had like this huge dump truck which would represent a pile of money but the dump truck only moves at a like two or three miles per hour or you had a very smaller car but you could drive it anywhere you want. You'd probably drive the smaller car. Even though the smaller car is doesn't have this big net worth you can get a do whatever you want. It's the same way with investing. You really don't care how big the the pile of money as what you really care about. It's the cash full that's coming off of it and that is a concept that people don't think about enough there are always just trying to grow their big pile of money and not how we're actually going to get cash off of it. In real estate does an excellent job of getting tax efficient casual absolutely should yes and i will just reiterate what bruce just said. Pay attention to that. Pay attention to the cash flow because ultimately when you get that net worth you're going to turn that into cash flow anyways can make that functional in your life and so we want to help you think about the experience of your money.

"You can reach like seventy five percent of the us within a day's drive from indianapolis east and so we. We were benefiting from this We're benefiting from jus- general stability. I mean the midwest is known for being a very stable place to invest We've got higher. Cash flows than if you're investing in those hotter markets because our cap rates are relatively higher. What that means is you're buying it a relatively better value. Severe cash will invest. You're gonna get better cash flow and we're still like i said i describe seeing incredible appreciation at the level of thirty percent in over nine months. So i think there's a lot of positives in the midwest the midwest is just stoically been kind of overlooked. You hear a lot of the news about people moving to the sun bell and moving to other places like to me. That's okay. I prefer people continue to compete down those markets and disdain our little pocket up here love it love it. You also really talk about kind of the benefit or advantage of buying smaller properties versus or. Maybe it's the advantage over buying smaller properties of. Can you talk about that. Sure it looks. Small is relative so small to me is like anything under one hundred fifty units today so a lot of the properties that we've been buying And really leveraging our local relationships to go direct to seller or long-term broker relationships in some of the more local folks and again avoid the competition go directly to the source are your thirty fifty seventy unit properties Where their long term. You know mom and pop style owners right where we know. There's a clear value add Where we can come in. And we know they're under market rent immediately bring them up to market and we know there's a clear value prop there and so we've had a lot of success in these types of properties Because those are properties that the larger players mentioned the reads and everybody else. They're not going after because they all play in the two hundred unit plus space which again increases the competition that two hundred plus space so we found nice pocket below. That were again. We're clearing the of that competition. We can be a very competitive buyer. Because i'd say were were more sophisticated than the groups that are maybe ha- had ten units and now they're trying to get their first fifty or something right. We've got a solid track record and we can be very compelling buyer than environment versus again competing with the larger institutions in the world so that pocket about thirty to one hundred fifty units We've seen better value profiles or better return profiles on those investments in soviet. We've we've got this kind of sweet spot where can hear it's excellent. Well let our listeners. Now if they did reach out to you for more information if they were interested in finding out more about the investments that you have With hudson investing how can they connect with you and do they need to be an accredited investor.

You have that group of people you all. I mean you also have the folks go just been priced out of the current housing market. Where you know housing prices have gone up so much. It's so competitive that there's a lot of people that are just saying you know what i'm going to wait and we're seeing that overall we're seeing people rent for longer than ever before. We're also seeing from a demographic standpoint resting baby boomers downsize from their four thousand six thousand square foot houses down into apartments. Get rid of mowing the lawn. Get rid of you. Know taking care of everything and And retire n es now through empty nesters. So we're seeing these two of the largest groups that have ever existed. Come come into rentals. And i think because of that If you wanna look at as i look at countries like germany or you have seventy people in the country of renters and and they have interest rates have been close to zero forever so so a three percent cap rate is a very common thing there and i think that's where the us continues the trend. I think we moved from being a nation where it's sixty percents are. So folks are renters. I think that continues to increase. And i think we continue to see Again asset prices go up because Because of the interest rates being so and i think we continue to see the cap rates compress. And so like i said. I think it's a it's a good time for just a lot of factors going on converge to make this a good space to be. This is really interesting. can you speak. I was going to ask you about the current market. You kind of already covered that but specifically are you looking to hold long. Are you looking for a certain length of time for appreciation to be able to flip that and are you selling to other investors. Are you selling to big like reits and then really. What's your timetable looking like that. You're trying to hold the property now. Yeah good question so. Our timetable has actually so so. We don't hold. Long-term our goal is to maximize return for the investors. And and you do that by holding for for ten years. The sweet spot that we found is somewhere around that five year mark and really because of where the market is We've been compressed thing that time to really more like three years so we're doing a lot of three year targeted holds now Especially on smaller properties where we know we can come in. We can affect change very quickly and implement the business plan and get in and get out and sell into this this hyper competitive seller's market right. I mean why not take advantage of market conditions that were in You know. I think that's part of part of my business plan. Is you have to be agile to adjust to To what the market conditions are. And i think it would be. It would behoove our industrial to say no where we said..

And so really. What are what our strategy is or what a lot of what a lotta syndicator strategy is is. If it's a value add strategy the easiest way. I can describe it to people as like it's like what you see. Hdtv riot when people are fixing up a home. We're just doing it for one hundred. Two hundred units at a time But essentially the process is the same. We're acquiring the property. We have a clear plan on how we can how we can add value and how we can increase really focused on increasing the incoming that property because as we increased the income that property we increase the value of the property. And so were buying the property. We're putting under professional management or renovating the units and the exteriors were adding amenities and there were broadening. That property from anywhere from three to five years in we're kicking off the cash flow back to the investors of their share the profits and then at the end of that we we sell the property and then everybody shares in the appreciation. And you get your your capital gains Through that so So that's really kind of started out passive investing with others. And then as i build up my knowledge and my experience I began to to actively to my own deals a now. That's what i do. Is i go out and have a team that finds apartment and so we acquire him..

"Should feel empowered to be accountable. So that means that. When i walk into the office or when i open my computer to start my workday if i'm thinking negatively about my job of course going to have a negative experience so the first part is what's my mindset. What meaning do i perceive from my work. And what value do i do. I take from it. Because if i'm going in and thinking that it's worthless it's going to be worthless i don't know about you but when i reflect back on my career what i thought i was going to do. Isn't what i'm doing. Even if i was intentional towards it because you end up meeting people you develop certain skills in those lead to something else so you can learn. You're really good at something. Learned that you don't like something so if you're going into each and every single day without the intention to take something from it you're gonna take nothing and if anything you made us take negativity which ends up just draining other areas of your life as well So it's this idea of showing up developing career capital and then. We haven't even gotten to crafting your work towards what you actually want it to be. But i think and i think that's another component we can get into but i think the first ones are this idea. That you're responsible and accountable. You should feel empowered to change your job to what you needed to be. Need to show up to make the most of it. I'm going to summarize some of the things. I take away from that. In just that point you made ultimately. That's that's what a good boss wants out of you to you. Know good boss wants you to come to you know. Look i'm not that great in this. But i see this other opportunity. I think i can really make an impact in this area and most bosses are like they look at people and then going up. You'd never gonna come out with any idea..

Yeah that's exactly what he's had except he was in political hot water at the time he didn't want to Make anything that that may have had any optics that may have gone against him even his staff. That's interesting even with staff recommended It's appalling to me and you know it's very cowardly that was that was a political decision on his part having nothing to do with your hard work or the logic behind your argument you know it costs. The state jobs in the course of the state is insane but he is no friend of freedom. Perry yeah and that that's not the only example but will stop right there So where are the real trouble spots in the united states. If you're if you're a knife lover and you find yourself living here. Where are you really where. Where is your fight the most uphill well certainly I'd have to say the worst state in the country new jersey If only because it has very strict restrictions on knives and they are all felony. So if you violate new jersey's knife laws you are committing a felony. That is the only state in the nation where violations are held. And you know there are other states where it's difficult Massachusetts new mexico. You know cal- california isn't nearly as bad as some people think And certainly better than new jersey or new york in many respects You can carry grabbing night now in new york but you can't carry an automatic unless you're fishing or hunting That's when it's the most handy clearly hat if you're looking for rationality you're not gonna find that anywhere. They are irrational. They you know. They are historically irrational Are acronyms their hysterically. Ah there they seem to be seems to be legislation of emotion frequently. Like knives freak me out. They should freak you out too so we have a lot of that politics and again you have to go back to worthies nine. Were these laws. I came from now. The the first round of knife restrictions came after the civil war. They made sure lasca known guns. So black started carrying big knives. You know what we call a booby knife. Our caring daggers and so they came up with restrictions on that and then we have the fifties when hollywood just scared the crap out of hosts with juvenile. Yeah with with evil switchblades which was never really a problem But we were stuck with federal way to act and with restrictions on switch planes in twenty three states. Warned are now. We're up to forty four states. Read this us. Which way i are mac. Life To one degree or another Thirty two or thirty three states where you can carry it Twenty two point three six our carry zeal. So we're making big progress It's not getting easier. I mean the low hanging fruit is our pick right but You know we'll see last year was difficult last year. Is that west. virginia. Lifelock reaction done Got ohio gun. ignorant sign. This year was passed last year But coleridge shut down the legislatures Pretty much this year. We've got you know a bunch of bills already. In the hopper south carolina lifelock ramzan texas location restricted knife law reform. Fine finish off texas make taxes as good as the texans. We've got a bill. Strengthening nighthawk reaction in hampshire was third statement. We pass a nice law. Preemption and i switch way ban in the nation Trying again in washington state through ill their spring and spring blade. What's that that that that's what they call. Which does that include. A like a kershaw speed. Save for whenever because we fixed that back in two thousand well. Right assistant openers Our legal since two thousand twelve. Now we're trying to get on. Mac knives their legal to bill in washington safety sal out of russian state there are now legal. Were for our our first responders to carry in washington. We did all that back in two thousand and working arduously since then gets persuade then Reformed that repeal has passed the senate Two years in a row And just passed. House could get a vote either last year of the year before. So now we're trying again this year you don't give up and that's arden's success. Just give up. i think. Probably many Nice lovers are like me you kind of get wrapped up in your collection and you get wrapped up in carrying your knives and forget. Maybe you forget that this is actually serious business and if for whatever reason you run into a police officer on a bad day or whatever your carrying that knife could end up being a real problem do you have any stories of of real egregious overreach. I remember hearing about about Police officers in new york city seeing the outline of like a swiss army knife in someone's pocket and you know and pension them for that Any stories like that does that stuff really happened. Yes it does really happened in new york. It was it was terrible. I mean New york city still has On the books their administrative law that makes it illegal to carry a night that is not a hundred percent conceal and you know back before we got raw changed last year To get rid of their gravity knife a law any night that they could risk flit by risk slick. I mean full-body couple trying ten times Almost any night to be wrestling opened by their by by the way that they did it. you're going to get arrested and that wasn't just violation.

Give us a history of how you got into knives in the first place you. You came onto my radar. I for your folding knives and for your survival knives and then i've learned so much more since. That's tell us how you got into this. I mean like a lot of the folks listening near. I always ferried denies harvey since i was a child back when you could carry knives to school and now later in life i got involved in As as a journalist in aviation survival evasion marines rival Obviously a knife is a key. Survival tool i started equipped to survive on the web back before earning when really knew what the internet was It was is still sort of consumer reports for survival gear. And you know. At at a certain point i got tired of telling people that This is the night you should get. But and there was a but at the end of her and I n Less they asses are founder. Bench made had been friends for a long time on. We got to talking. And then chilly out of all that came when it's known as the grip or the original rs k. mart on and then the mini ours k.

We are most definitely gonna get to that and also variations on this amazing knife. This was my adc today in preparation for our conversation. I have a little different clip on there but What tackler knife this is. I'll tell you thank you. We designed it so that if you don't like our clip you can put a custom for emerson. Clip is a standard through your clip. We didn't want anything proprietor. Yeah i mean. That's one of the i do you know. People like to make their knives their own. And that's one of the things. I'll i frequently. We'll do especially when i see that. Come in three hole pattern. That'll fit the mench maids in the emerson's and such but you said i just want to back up a little. You said you were getting tired of telling people this is the knife you should get. But what were the common butts that you would mention when you would recommend l. It was too expensive or the steel was just so so or didn't love the blade shape it was certainly adequate so there was always this And you know when. I started with the r's mark one We had mendez difficulty convincing anyone that You could sell a cream. Steel in an expense panel and the group chilean Was a inexpensive plastic handle night and bench may basically said less. Said what if you wanna do. It will sell them to you. But i don't think they're gonna sell and we were the first one taking at the time Cpms thirty eight the premium steel at the time. And put it in and our formal handle so that you could buy a knife re premium steel and a solid handle and great access slot Core hundred and twenty five bucks. I mean that was unheard of that. And now of course you see. End steals and inexpensive bribes Inexpensive handles all the time but we were the first home. You sorry. Trent so with the blade. How did you. I know that you wanted to optimize the cutting you wanted to change you to make a blade that was optimal for all sorts of survival tasks. So how did you. What went into designing the blade.

Best Of Reputation, Reviews, Recommendations & Referrals with Mark S.A. Smith
"Welcome Mark sa Smith back for the third time and I do believe that essay stands for super awesome. Is that correct or something? The adapter smart-ass depending on how you doing. Actually it actually stands for Steven antin with a name like Smith, you know, you need to have extra names and for me, it's my brand. Right, right. You're Brian Bacon off of the three big I Delight to be with you and I love our conversations and I'm honored to be a three-peat with you. And let's Dive Right In cuz we've got some hot stuff off and only yeah, we do. So as I was telling you in the precursor and earlier this week, I did a podcast and blog on managing your reputation. And today I gave a presentation about managing your reputation. So what I wanted to talk to you about because I mean you work in the the corporate world. I mean you're in the big you're in the big pond and you know, damn fortune five hundred companies. Yeah. Yeah. So you're playing with some big fish and we talked about I mean the two things that we did before was managing disruption. And then how do you catch a whale so yep Working with these whales the question that you know, we're going to get into today is about getting reviews in managing your reputation. So let's let's start off by talking about wage. You know, how do you get people to give good reviews? What's your what's your process or what your thoughts on that? I love this. Well, I want to frame this up just a little bit. You know, I'm a small business doing business with big business and that has benefits and has distractions and attractions, you know, the benefit is that the checks tend to be large the distractions is that as you pointed out constipation compensation constipation. They tend to be slow payers. So you just have to manage all that and that said today we are all driven by reviews. So consider this listener a.m. The last time you bought something from Amazon that you had never bought before without checking out the reviews. How about you Brian? I'm just joined Amazon Prime this year and I can honestly say yo, Coolest thing ever you get something delivered on a Sunday. But hey always check the reviews. I mean, that's every time it's price and reviews. Those are the two most important things to me and you know, we look for a couple thoughts and reviews number one is we look for you know, how many five-star reviews and we look for people that are having genuine problems. And for me. I also look for the negative reviews because I want to find out what kind of problems people have so I can say no that's not a true problem or I don't expect that problem or or to say, you know that I appreciate that Insight. I think I'm going to choose something else. I'm sure it's the same for you know, absolutely. Yeah. I mean that's you know, I'll definitely look at the negative reviews and if it's if it's something, you know, if there's enough of the same thing that's usually because there's always a troll or somebody out there that's going to be something negative cuz they just were not happy that day, you know competitors do it all the time competitors frequently troll products and so in the world of Amazon you look for a job. Flight purchased it they really buy it if they didn't really bite. Forget it. I'm going to ignore that. So the point that is that we do we're we become we become a review page driven society and the second example of that is Yelp know when do we go to restaurants without reviewing them on Yelp or without having somebody say, oh, you gotta go try it out right now with have to have reviews and it's built into our DNA now. So with that it means that we have to collect reviews we have to ask for reviews. We have to post reviews we have to manage reviews and the best way to do that is to actively ask for them. So, how do you go about it getting reviews Brian see now? This is a place where I disagree with you because when you ask for a review page, you ask for a testimonial what most people say they say, yeah sure. No problem. I'll get through and then it just sits and sits and sits and then you remind him a second time you think about it a week or two later and say hey, can I get a name? Review. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry I forgot about it. And then you ask him a third time and then they started getting annoyed cuz you're bugging them. So the way that I do it and the way that I found the most success and this is actually based on a book that I read called The Hundred zero principle and it's buy one of my mentors is name is Al Ritter and you can actually get it on Amazon. It's written by it's a by company called Simple truths and his principal is not give a hundred percent of yourself a hundred percent of the time expect nothing in return and Watch What Happens the way that I get reviews so ask for I give them a lot of used to people that I work with. I'll go on LinkedIn and I'll write them a review. What is LinkedIn do that? LinkedIn actually says, hey you got a review from Brian Basilico. Do you want to return the favor of nine times out of ten? We are competitive we as we get a review we're going to say, well, he wrote a really nice review. I'm going to do a better one and I'm going to put more thought process into it and I'm going to do it now because Want to return the favor at this moment and I would owe you right about 70% of the time. You not only get the review a lot faster or the testimonial lot faster. But what you end up getting a much more glowing heartfelt thought-out review beautiful. I love the idea of give a review to get a review another strategy that I suggest is to ask for a review when somebody compliments, you know these days when people say thanks a lot of really appreciate what you did for me. Most people say no problem don't ever say that you're wasting an opportunity. No problem. Lies that what you did has no value and the world was sales as in politics is run on a favor bank. So if somebody says thank you put a favor in your favor Bank. You're welcome. I wage you do the same for me. Would you do me a favor and which case they're going to say sure. Would you mind just typing that up that those same things and I know you also record it when people are dead. Online and so you just asked me if you can transcribe it. That's a brilliant strategy. Yeah,

The NBA Getting Backlash From Both Hong Kong And China For comments made
"Morning the pro basketball league suffered consequences from China when a team executive wrote down his opinion about Hong Kong in a tweet now the NBA faces criticism from Hong Kong protestors supporting democracy there have noticed the back peddling statements from NBA stars like lebron James yes we all do have freedom of speech but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen we are not thinking about others in only on your think much yourself so many people could have been harmed not only financially but physically emotionally spiritually so just be careful we which we that's lebron James sometime ago Jordan Ritter Conn rights for the online journal the rigor and is just back from Hong Kong good morning how much did people follow this story in Hong Kong very closely Hong Kong is like mainland China a place that is in the NBA that follows the NBA but right now in particular people who are involved in the protest movement of following any bit of international news that has anything to do with their movement and so they were following everything from mores initial tweet to all of the aftermath extremely close when people really put in particular latched on to well the Brian James that as the week most famous player as the best player over the last decade he is he is the person who who everyone there has had some name recognition for and as soon as he waited and there was on one hand people extremely disappointed and frustrated and saying they like everyone in the NBA except for lebron James and burning his Jersey and on the other hand people who just don't really excited that dismissed the people were talking about their calls this the people talk about what's going on there okay burning the Jersey active protest but of course China when China was unhappy with Daryl Morey of the Houston Rockets for his tweet they were able to impose a pretty substantial financial penalties on the NBA by interrupting the NBA's business in China has Hong Kong found anyway besides burning jerseys to put pressure on the NBA on their side no no they they're not it does but I mean it's it's a city of seven million in in a country of one point four billion thirty key economic interest for the for the NBA's test just paled in comparison and so it really at this point all they are trying to do is it's talk about it and and continue talking about it and and make sure that their their voices are heard and and be done so by protesting at NBA games here here in the states and in Canada and Toronto people showing up two games wearing shirts that say stand with Hong Kong and in finding finding any way to to kind of get their message out for for white there why they're protesting and and why why why these comments are are hurtful to them into their calls but but aside from that in in terms of kind of throwing around any sort of economic weight paling in comparison to Hong Kong the consumer market you know I'm thinking about the fact that when I moved around China I've seen lots of people playing basketball basketball courts I know that American flags have sometimes been waved at these Hong Kong protests did it what what kind of attitude to people take for this American sport into they feel it is in some way on their side and part of their because even if even if the NBA wasn't as strong as they would like it to be your date they love the sport there are there are courts we can play basketball all over the city home and people are still very invested in basketball itself and and have been pleased with some of what they've seen out of the out of the NBA Shaquille o'neal came out very much supporting them and and they saw

Discount-broker stocks losing further ground in wake of Schwab commission news
"Let's switch gears though sticking with Wall Street and talk about Broker Commissions Today Day this morning there was news that Charles Schwab is eliminating commissions for stocks. ETF's and options listed on U S or Canadian exchanges the race as to the bottom accelerates David Ritter payments specialty finance analysts for a Bloomberg intelligence joining us from Princeton New Jersey David. What do you make the news well. It's been something that's been a long time coming. I mean obviously fee compression brokerage in an asset management more broadly is nothing new. I mean interactive brokers made their own own move last week to cut commissions two zero for basic stock trades so I think it it's going to have the very different impact on the different players players in the market and Schwab's case you know they only earned about fifteen percent of their net revenue from trading commissions verses e-trade and td Ameritrade where it's more than thirty five percent. I think you're seeing that reflected in the action this morning but but Schwab is really more an asset gather than anything and and so I see this move for them as a recognition of the fact that you know we don't WanNa lose customers and assets in the long term to these new stock doc trading apps whether it be Robin Hood or whether it be J. P. Morgan is you invest because that's how they make money they make money on new net new assets coming into the company and then you know sixty percent of their revenue is net interest income so they're essentially a bank right so they're paying low interest and Dan reinvesting that money and save security so that's the real driver not trading commissions. It's interesting look at the stocks mention Dave Schwab down nine percent. Td Ameritrade down about about twenty two percent today an e. trade down eighteen percent so kind of right in line with what you were saying and my question is kind of talked to us about some of these new technological competitors offers that you mentioned kind of robinhood and things like that gives a sense of what they are and what kind of market share they taking yeah well in the case of robinhood. You Know Very Rapid Growth Bruce Company several million customers already offering quote unquote free trade what underrecognized though is Nothing's free a write in the case of all of these retail brokers that charge the customer Azero trading fee. They're sending those traits to market maker so companies like citadel citadel and they're getting paid. What's called payment for order flow for those transactions so in their released last week. Interactive brokers was very candid they they said well you know this is how we get paid and if you still want best best execution you can take our four. Fi product instead of our free reprised so I just thought that was an interesting way to to approach it but you know certainly these things are having an impact and for Schwab. They finally said to themselves look we. WE DON'T WANNA lose these customers 'cause they're young people right so they're really the future drivers of their growth right now. Looking at Schwab shares down now more than nine percent so shareholders aren't buying it. Yeah I mean I think for both of them. When I described a minute ago what percentage of revenue they get from trading trading commissions I think the market is pricing in perhaps half of that revenue going away. It's interesting because the last round of price cuts was a couple years ago. Oh Fidelity sorta kicked it off by going to four ninety five trade and Schwab matched them what happened across the entire industry was fascinating is that the net inflows to the the companies and the trading volumes increased so it actually drew in more customers and so again I think that's Schwab's rationale here is we're trying trying to remove any impediment to folks either getting more active or becoming active in the markets for the very first time and then going going forward into the future so not sure. We'll see exactly that again this time but that's what we saw last time.

All the Reasons Things Are Going Very Poorly for WeWork This Week
"Let's begin. Shall we with a thought experiment. Imagine you are running a privately held company that is worth forty seven billion dollar based on the investments. You've gotten so far you need capital though money to grow so you start thinking about going public and people get really excited so you file the required paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission people start taking a real hard look governance structure and your business model and quicker than you can say Bob's your uncle. The bottom falls falls out your evaluation gets cut in half and then cut even more and then today you decide maybe going public right. Now isn't such a great idea congratulations congratulations. You're we work or more properly. It's parent the week company thinking was that the would be shared office space wonder canned was going to start trading in a couple of weeks yes but given the raft of bad headlines and a couple of recent high profile. IPO's than maybe didn't go so well see also Uber Cooler heads prevailed. Look there is a real question here given the headaches is all the money that companies can raise by going public worth downside risks marketplace's Justin Ho gets going we work is growing fast in the US and around the world but it's losing more than a billion and a half dollars a year and yet the company valued itself at forty seven billion in dollars in January J. Ritter at the University of Florida says the company's business model just doesn't justify that figure you know it's basically a real estate company that was trying into bill itself as a Tech Company at a Tech Company valuation two weeks ago we were slashed. Its valuation by more than Half Santosh Rowlett Manhattan venture partner says even that wasn't enough to satisfy investors people realizing bet no wait a minute. You just can't get a blank check anymore.

A Review of Stephen King's 'It'
"Today. We're discussing it star orrick harry anderson dennis christopher where should missour- annette o'toole. Tim reid john ritter and richard thomas special appearance by tim curry. The as pennywise was lonnie anderson busy like we're. We're all the sitcoms. What isn't a horror movie could get alan thicke directed directed by tommy lee wallace who does more comedy than horror no halloween three now. I guess depending on how you slice comedy. This is the the now playing co host. That's down to clown arnie and stewart and this the host who still insists he sees the ghost jacob. We're here a movie that has been so requested tested even before we started doing stephen king and then once we did. I can't count the number of times i've heard have you guys reviewed it and this is going to be the show with the most fun inflection an ever as we constantly emphasize the proper noun it yeah it is it for me. It certainly was the steven king book that i read that maybe wanna go back and read everything that he had written part of the appeal was i had just turned thirteen sixth grade and i had never taken on a book as is big as that book. My dad was a member of book of the month club but then showed up like a phone book on our doorstep over a thousand pages fourteen hundred pages weighing over four pounds at retail and you know aliens had just come out the month before and a movie and this really kicked off my horror movie phase like these were the things things that made me get so deep into horror in my teenage years i had talked to you about stephen king before this. I remember bus rides talking about it and then i remember one day you showed me your copy of it and there was a character who killed himself and you're like and he wrote this on the wall and there was a drawing join in the book. I'd never seen a book that had a drawing in it where the text goes. It looks like a letter age and i'm like i don't get it was an age. You're like no. It's it's the word it in blood and i'm like oh. That's pretty cool fast forward six months. I moved to florida. I didn't know a damn soul. Twelve hundred page book was exactly up my alley. I read it summer of eighty seven and that's the last time i read it until this year when i reread it for these reviews and i am once again the king newbie or the never have been i have not read it but i do feel like this is the one yes sure there's the shining but when i think of the shining i don't i think of king i think of kubrick the same with carrie i think of those movies but it because until two thousand seventeen eighty didn't get good adaptation. We'll talk about the nineteen ninety-one anyone but i do feel like this is the steven king book. I mean it's the scary clown which sure there's john wayne casey but this is such a trope. I feel like in horror now. I'm i'm sure this is a weird originated but i think he did popularize that whole concept. It's funny. You say that i was going to ask you. What's the first thing that comes to your mind. When when you think of it i wanna just put out there. One of my favorite things about stephen king and his first decade of output was to look at the cover because there were so many of them and i never knew what they were about hadn't seen many of the movies so it was fun to try and decipher from that picture on the cover. What is this one going to be about it. First edition hardback did not have no clown on it. It had the alien hand right clawed hand. It looked like a gremlins movie. It looked like he was was reaching his clawed hand out of sewer grates and that's how i read it.

San Francisco Chronicle Sports - Spoken Edition
Warriors at their best when Klay Thompson finds his groove
"You're listening to the spoken edition of the San Francisco Chronicle. Why are years at their best? When Klay Thompson finds his groove, Stephen curry, and Kevin Durant are transcendent players with MVP trophies on their mantles and the skill and bravado to singularly take command of games, but the warriors are transcendent team when Klay Thompson climbs into its catch and shoot groove. Thompson epitomizes how Golden State became an NBA powerhouse movement without the ball, unselfishness togetherness. He could be the leading man on countless teams, but he happily embraces his role as third wheel on a dynasty. The warriors returned home Wednesday night after an unbeaten road trip punctuated by Thompson's record record-breaking display Monday night in Chicago, he made fourteen three pointers and dropped fifty two on the bowls then came back to earth a bit and scored eighteen in a one thirty one to one twenty one victory over New Orleans. Not surprisingly the crowd at oracle arena buzzed. When Thompson drained his first and only three just a minute nine. One thousand nine seconds into the game. But he also spurred a similar if less obvious murmur in Chicago when he emphatically busted out his early season shooting slump when he gets going it brings out a different vibe in the whole building head coach Steve Kerr said it's hard to describe. But whether it's at home or on the road, something happens when clay gets going this, mostly traces to the way Thompson finds his shots curry and Durant constantly have the ball in their hands. Curry often dribbles into open looks occasionally from preposterous distances as does Durant usually on mid range jumpers Thompson acts like he's allergic to dribbling so his shooting streaks offer a certain amount of dramatic build-up. See Klay, Ron see Klay cut. See clay curl around a screen catch the ball, and immediately let fly you see it happen off this sort of tic TAC toe offensive action where it's three passes and a great screen Kerr said it's beautiful basketball. There were so many possessions the other night that just made me in our coaching staff smile. That's how you wanna. See a team worked together with simple passing and screening and ball movement, or as Thompson succinctly put it and explaining the crowd reaction to his big nights. I think it's because usually when I'm touching the ball. It's going up quickly. It was no coincidence to see Thompsons outburst during one of his team's most dominant games of an utterly dominant era. The warriors lead ninety two fifty at halftime Monday night. Then briefly expanded the advantage to forty five points early in the third quarter. They're out there mind-blowing best. When Thompson is racing around the court furiously searching for open space, they can adopt. When he struggling clearly as Koreans Durant illustrated with their dynamic show in the season's first seven games Thompson shot fourteen percent from three point land in those games five or thirty six astoundingly and the warriors still went six one, but the approach some sort of mystical sporting wrong when the big to becomes the big three. Then the warriors remember how they changed basketball shunning isolation. Plays for an artistic heat move. Moving share the ball style. Once Klay starts hitting shots. He moves even more assistant coach Bruce Frazier said and when clay moves better the team generates this frenetic pace, even in the half court. It's collective Frazier. Noticed Thompson stood around more than usual on the first two games of the trip that he has the -tated to say something to Thompson. Because sometimes it's better to stay quiet when he's in a slump. Frazier. Also knows Thompson belying his softspoken nature sees everything happening around him. He's very observant with a stoic face. Frazier said those are the dangerous ones. Thompson seldom offers a window into his thinking. He's the perfect third wheel more than content to let curry and Durant, weight and glory and attention taken ever. So brief interview with Thompson before Wednesday night's game. He stopped by his locker to put on his shoes before heading to the court to warm up allowing for a two minute conversation. Thompson was cordial. If preoccupied as he reflected on what it felt like to bury jumper after jumper two nights. Earlier. That's the best. Feeling he said, but it's something that doesn't come around too often. It's a great flow, but it's hard to recreate maybe once a year or something Thompson offered an uncommon slash of personality when he arrived at oracle on Wednesday. This was Halloween after all. So he showed up dressed as Jackie moon, actor will Ferrell's character in the two thousand eight parody semi pro. And Thompson nailed it from the headband to the white number thirty three Flint tropics jersey with orange aqua trim. He even spun a red white and blue basketball on his finger as he walked from the parking lot to the arena warriors public relations chief, Raymond Ritter. Countered by dressing up as Thompson wearing a gold headband as Thompson day when he sustained a cut requiring two stitches Monday night, along with Thompson's number eleven jersey over address shirt shorts and size, fifteen high tops Ritter usually wears size, nine those sites sparked a smirk from the typically expressionless Thompson.
