Big Tech in Financial Services
Beware, Big Tech is here to eat your lunch. That is today’s equivalent of the great communist threat during the Cold War. What’s behind “Big Tech” then? Usually, we mean FAMGA: Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon. Some people instead look at FAANG: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Or even GAFA, excluding the much smaller of the group, Netflix. But FAMGA makes more sense because it represents the five largest stocks in the Nasdaq-100 with c.40% of the index of the 100 largest Nasdaq companies. Hence, the Big in Big Tech. They are steadily more active in fintech through patent approvals, partnerships, and investment activity. Banks should be worried. And so should be fintechs.

GameStop Ruined Me
It is the tale as old as time. If ______ jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too? Angry mothers and fathers across the world would ask their children that rhetorically when their friends wanted to do something dangerous. I wish I had a parental presence in my life about a few weeks back when I heard about GameStop stock soaring to the moon.

Use Excel To Excel At Shot Selection
One of the things I love about coaching is encountering ideas and concepts from other fields of endeavour, and adapting them for use in squash. A little while ago, I was reading some Reddit posts and one was about "finance and how to spend your money" and it got me thinking about whether I could use the concept in squash.
