Why there’s a shortage of gelatin? Because not as many cattle are being slaughtered… because not as many cars are being made following a chip shortage. The demand for cow’s hides to make automotive leather has gone down. OMG! #podcastnotes podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR…

Just how bad 2022 has been for the markets and tech firms? A look into the status quo of US IPOs, based on my data crunching: California has been generating the most IPOs of any US state every year since 2003. That streak could end this year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @markets
