Vladimir Putin doesn't use social media. Could he make an exception for the world's richest man? Elon Musk reached out to the Russian president on Twitter, inviting Putin to chat on the invitation-only Clubhouse app. "It’s undoubtedly a very interesting offer," came the response from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "But we need to know what he means, what he's proposing." It's not clear what the Russian president and the Tesla CEO would actually discuss in a virtual meeting. Would you watch? Link in bio.

BREAKING: Bitcoin has blown through another milestone, surging past $50,000 for the first time. The blistering rally means the world's largest cryptocurrency is up about 73% so far this year. Tesla's announcement earlier this month that it added $1.5 billion in Bitcoin to its balance sheet was a major catalyst to the latest jump. Link in bio for more.

Adjusted Operating margin: 32% Projects greater than 30% revenue growth rate in FY2021, Q1 projections of 45% Revenue growth, and 22% adjusted operating margins. I think the drop in adjusted operating margins is what is driving the stock lower. It is down 9% as I write this.

I got in Facebook at $18. I'm thinking of selling half of it for ARK funds.

I know, I got lucky getting in at $18. I've been holding it for years. I'm thinking of selling half of my FB funds to buy ARK funds. I have some ARK now and it's been incredibly successful this past year. I know ARK is a little risky but FB has become so volatile and hated. It's also been on a plateau for about a year. I'm thinking of splitting it up 20% in each of the following funds: ARKF, ARKK, ARKQ, ARKW, and IZRL. Is this a crazy plan? I've been reluctant to ever sell my FB shares but it's been a great 1400% run. What would you do?

Legacy of this sub... 105 stocks in the EV-only live Google Sheet tracker now! Thank you for everything!

I started this stock tracker with a few stocks on it already and then put it in here some time ago and got hell of a response... So we've got 105 stocks listed now to show the whole EV market. Thought you might find it useful. Updating it all the time. EV pure-plays only, so no traditional automakers / fuel cell / solar stuff, just plain EV-connected stuff. You'll find: EV makers, battery makers, battery recyclers, SPACs connected to EVs, Lithium and other mining stock that have connections to EVs, LIDAR tech, ETFs that have the most EVs etc... Here's the tracker: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sKMfBZNkHdvaVKmweuv3sD--CzfvImALJxGj2Xj7Ozw/](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sKMfBZNkHdvaVKmweuv3sD--CzfvImALJxGj2Xj7Ozw/edit?usp=sharing)

If your stress about work is keeping you up at night: 1. Make a to-do list to organize what's ahead. 2. Keep a journal. Process your anxiety instead of keeping it inside. 3. Exercise self-compassion. 4. Work out. 5. Meditate. https://t.co/SA1eFvmxyM

ARK vs. Fidelity Disruptors

Does anyone have any thoughts one way or the other about the ever popular ARK funds compared to the Fidelity Disruptors funds (beyond being ETF vs mutual fund)? Fidelity funds look interesting with an intriguing long term cost structure. Fees will decrease by 25bps after 1 and again after 3 years. I’m curious if anyone has come across a deeper dive looking at the holdings. We’ve all seen ARK funds have such incredible success, so I’d be interested to see if Fidelity’s Disruptors are a good alternative. Fidelity® Disruptive Automation Fund (FBOTX) Fidelity® Disruptive Communications Fund (FNETX) Fidelity® Disruptive Finance Fund (FNTEX) Fidelity® Disruptive Medicine Fund (FMEDX) Fidelity® Disruptive Technology Fund (FTEKX) Fidelity® Disruptors Fund (FGDFX)

Leaders with good judgment listen for what’s unsaid. They surround themselves with people who will tell them what they need to know — not what they want to hear. And they think carefully about the risks of implementation — even for small projects. https://t.co/wO8iNoTyI2

Started to manage a Liquor store, not sure exactly how to interview applicants.

I’m 24 and I recently started managing my dads liquor store after I got laid off from my day time job. The good part was I decided to join the family business. I changed up a lot of the business and I’m at the point where I need to hire some help so I can put more time and energy on increasing revenue through marketing and other sales channels. I recently put up a job listing and was surprised to get so many applicants. I have gathered about 20 applicants and have narrowed them down. However, I have never interviewed anyone for a job and wasn’t sure how to go about it. I want to just be myself and be really casual but I also don’t want that outgoing attitude to be taken advantage of in the future if the person is hired. I am looking for some advice on how to navigate through this.
