Sorry, I just now saw this notification! We talked about a few things at dinner:

You’re right. I should have used an asterisk for Japan’s situation, but I didn’t want to confuse readers by going down that macroeconomic rabbit hole. My original issue was with Eve’s myopic point-of-view, and I wanted her to know that technology helps propel societies forward.

Agreed. I had dinner with some VC’s earlier tonight and all they talked about was how tired they are of listening to pitches from avaricious tech-bros trying to create the next Facebook or Snapchat. They want to invest in clean energy, biotech, and healthcare.

I’m a CQF holder who took the CFA Level I last month and I’m cringing over this article because I know it’ll be confusing for most people. Which sucks because the more people participate in capital markets, the better it works for everyone.
