Newsletter

It's Tuesday, readers. I'm Paayal Zaveri, a senior reporter for Insider's tech analysis team, filling in for my colleague Diamond Naga Siu. 

Yesterday marked three years since the US government declared a national emergency around the COVID-19 outbreak. To say time flies is an understatement — our lives have changed so much over the last three years.

Take, for example, remote work.

While remote work offers flexibility, it often comes at the cost of maintaining a work-life balance. Don't fret, though. There are solutions underway. 

Good morning. I'm senior reporter Phil Rosen. 

As regional bank stocks tanked yesterday, contagion remains top of mind, and commentators are warning of more risks to the financial sector. 

What a weekend! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC. 

What do you think we've got for stories today? It's all about Silicon Valley Bank going down and the knock-on effects.

Phew. Hey there. Senior reporter Phil Rosen here. Before we jump into the newsletter, the Silicon Valley Bank saga is continuing to unfold, so let's quickly break down the latest.

Gooood morning readers! I'm Phil Rosen. On tap today we've got a great interview with a top real estate economist and this week's best markets stories, including updates on the Silicon Valley Bank meltdown.

Before we get to that — who do you think I should speak to next? 

The end (of the week) is here! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I wish I had more to say, but I am just ready for the weekend.

Fun fact Friday: Musician Johnny Cash was the first American to learn of Joseph Stalin's death.

"Be BORING!" "Get an ice cream cone. Just don't use Twitter." That's what billionaire Tesla investor Ron Baron emailed Elon Musk. At the time of the email, Musk was battling a cave rescue diver who was suing him for defamation. 

Good morning readers. Phil Rosen here. It's jobs day today. 

If the reading comes in too hot, the Fed's going to have even more ammunition to push interest rates higher in the coming months — and every move higher tightens the screws on the economy even more, ramping up risk of a recession. 

Almost Friday! Dan DeFrancesco here, reporting from NYC.

Beware of Bevi machines, buds. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm an avid water drinker. But I don't like bubbly drinks (they hurt my mouth) or flavored water (just drink juice).
