2) ➡️ The endemic planetary problems that Change the World companies are taking on require the strengths of big and small companies alike.
3) On the one hand, nothing can replace the scale of a big company.

On the other, by baking in social problem-solving from the get-go, smaller companies can bring a laser focus to finding solutions. bit.ly/3ehleJS Image
4) 🛒 @Walmart can use its more than 4,700 stores in the U.S. to help diabetes patients obtain less-expensive insulin. bit.ly/3ehleJS COURTESY OF WALMART

🏠 When the housing bubble burst the last time in 2007, the real estate market became unfriendly to investors and left home flippers out to dry.

Could the current housing correction end up the same? 🧵 bit.ly/3MnMT8x Photo of a row of houses an...
2) “I’ll never forget it. The music had stopped, and I didn’t have a chair,” Marty Boardman, an impacted home flipper from the last housing bubble crisis, told Fortune.

After rebuilding his business, Boardman is now warning a new generation of flippers.
3) The economics of flipping are simple: Flippers profit when they sell their “flip” above their combined cost for securing the home and remodeling it.

🇬🇧 The coronation of King Charles III won’t take place until 2023.

But when it does, it could look a lot different than those of monarchs who came before him.🧵bit.ly/3et0A9H The coronation of King Char...
⏰ Charles’ coronation will last just a little over an hour, compared to the three hours the ceremony has lasted in the past.

And some of the old rituals will be bypassed, such as presenting the monarch with gold ingots.
The trimming back of the pomp and circumstance is meant to set the tone for a more modern monarchy and comes as the U.K. struggles with high inflation and financial uncertainty.

The U.S. will stop companies from exporting advanced chips made using U.S. equipment to China.

The new export controls are the broadest in years. Here’s why. 🧵bit.ly/3SODzgD Image

So you just checked your 401(k), and it doesn’t look good.

Don’t worry, here’s how you can preserve the value of your savings. 🧵bit.ly/3ei0emi Photo credits: Getty Images
2) 📉With the bond market experiencing one of its worst years in history and the S&P 500 falling over 24% since January, most U.S. investors are feeling the pain.

And it is not over, as Wall Street keeps predicting a recession or “something worse.” bit.ly/3ei0emi
3) 💰 “Keep calm and invest on,” said Coastal Bridge Advisors’ Kimberly Nelson.
