What I'm Reading: October 1

Investing, Markets

• Investing on margin when young increases retirement savings

  • The authors propose a maximum leverage of 2:1

• Using a deli as a fraudulent shell company to take a private company public

  • A fraud scheme where a few guys took a deli with small revenues public, used wash trading to inflate the stock price, then attempted to merge with a larger private company to take them public. Like a mini-SPAC.

Etc

• Reverse Freedom Rides of the 1960s

  • Sounds very similar to the current migrant busing crisis...

  • (Sorry, I usually don't include politics, but thought it was an interesting historical comparison)
