1/ Since the pandmeic hit, it's been hard for the Brew Crew to keep the same level of camaraderie and team spirit that being in the office fosters. We know we're not alone
a quick thread on how we've been coping
2/ Like many, we've turned to fun Zoom events as replacements
We've done Sangria and Secrets with drag queens (thanks @KateNoel_ ), a Halloween costume contest (that @hankstockwell won), as well as two trivia nights
3/ We can't recommend the first two examples enough, but if the Brew does one thing well, it's give away free stuff
if we had to pick a second, it's trivia
4/ Our two Zoom Trivia Nights were custom made
Brew managing editor @Neal_Freyman is the brain behind all the mind bending questions you see at the bottom of the Brew each week
so when it came to company Trivia Night, he stepped up to the plate
5/ We are now sharing the fruits of his labor with you
For your next team bonding activity, let the Brew come to the rescue
we give you the rules, the questions, and the answer key
1/ Every morning, millions of people around the world wake up, make their coffee, and check a few key numbers—200 points, $1,100 a troy ounce, $40 a barrel. Those numbers provide clues about how the markets are performing each day.
2/ We include these indicators at the top of every Morning Brew newsletter, but you don't need an MBA, PhD, or fleece vest to understand what they are, how they work, and why they matter
3/ Here's everything you need to know about the three main U.S. equities indexes as well as gold, oil prices, and Treasury notes.
Happy 90th Birthday Warren Buffett! The Brew can think of no better way to honor the GOAT than with a memorable piece of Warren wisdom for every year he's been alive.
1. "Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1."
2. "Never invest in a business you cannot understand."
