Washington Post's January 6 Deep Dive; Is AG Garland/DOJ Criminally Investigating Donald Trump?

Glenn Kirschner


The Washington Post printed a 3-part series taking an extraordinary deep dive into the before, during and after of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. This again raises the question many have been asking throughout the 10 months since the attack on our democracy: is Attorney General Merrick Garland's Department of Justice criminally investigating Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election. This video discusses the goals and principles of prosecution, focusing on general deterrence - deterring others from committing the same or similar crimes.

Microsoft Just Dethroned Apple as the World's Most Valuable Company With a Brilliant Strategy

Microsoft Just Dethroned Apple as the World's Most Valuable Company With a Brilliant Strategy: Be Boring


https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/smallbusiness/microsoft-just-dethroned-apple-as-the-world-s-most-valuable-company-with-a-brilliant-strategy-be-boring/ar-AAQaiAs

Software licenses and cloud services aren't exciting, but they're very good business.

We don't usually think of "boring" as a compelling business strategy. When you think about what makes a successful company, you probably think of one that makes interesting products or introduces the world to something it hasn't seen before. Neither of those is what anyone would consider boring.

For example, Apple isn't boring. It didn't become the most valuable company on earth by being boring, it did it by making the iPhone--a device that changed everything about how we connect and communicate with the people in our lives. It's not hard to draw the line between the iPhone and Apple becoming a $2 trillion company that makes more profit than any other company in history.

It turns out, however, that boring is actually a pretty good strategy.

Look no further than the fact that Microsoft just unseated Apple as the most valuable company in the world by being boring. I don't mean that as an insult, but a quick look at the company's most recent quarterly earnings, released last week, paints the picture:

Microsoft's main revenue drivers come from its cloud computing business and Office productivity software subscriptions. That's not exciting, it's boring. It's also very profitable and reliable as a source of revenue, two things that are very important to investors.
