It's the middle of the week, 10 Things in Techies. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and for the first decade or so that I worked, I was always paid in cash. I didn't put much of it into a bank, because I didn't really understand how it worked.
So I hid it in different places, keeping a mental tally of my cash stash.
I'd be pretty upset if I mistaked one of my decoy reserves for a pot of proverbial gold. But that's almost exactly what happened to JPMorgan Chase.
It's techie Tuesday, buds. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I really enjoy cooking and eating food.
That's why this Googler is living my dream life. He's a manager at the search giant by day and culinary school student by night. The company even pays a portion of Harrison Hill's tuition for the Institute for Culinary Education in New York.
Good morning, readers. Markets reporter George Glover here, writing to you from London while my colleague Phil Rosen is off on a well-deserved vacation.
You've probably already clocked that the biggest story in markets right now is happening on this side of the Atlantic, with investors still mulling over UBS's $3 billion rescue of its old foe Credit Suisse.
Today, I'm unpacking the biggest winners and losers from the takeover.
Welcome back! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I feel like my entire life has been a lie after learning the truth about "sizzling" fajitas at restaurants.
$100K apparently isn't that much, pals. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm definitely feeling a financial strain in San Diego.
A new study found that if you make $100,000 in NYC, it only "feels like" $36,000. Meanwhile, the same study found that San Diegans need to make even more than New Yorkers to live comfortably. Imagine moving to New York to save some money. Wild.
Good morning. I'm senior editor, Max Adams, standing in for Phil Rosen.
It's official: UBS will take over Credit Suisse in a historic deal.
The Swiss National Bank made the announcement Sunday, saying that with the takeover, "a solution has been found to secure financial stability and protect the Swiss economy in this exceptional situation."
Happy Saturday readers. I'm Phil Rosen. "Happy" is used loosely here, as the past week has been defined by chaos and uncertainty across the banking system.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Dan O'DeFrancesco (we're all Irish today) in NYC. Goldman Sachs' decision to charge employees for coffee might not be that outrageous after all! An extremely valuable baseball team makes its players pay for their own in-flight wifi.
It's finally Friday, friends. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm pretty tired of the gloomy weather here in San Diego. It's the rainiest start to a year around here for decades. And it's an alarming welcome back to the state.
