Back to the fascinating Hertz price action. Per the 2-day chart, the stock has been losing steam this morning after opening significantly higher on news that equity issuance is being considered (see earlier tweet)--this as hopes of a non-debt cash injection offset dilution risks. #markets #stocks #investing #bonds #stockmarket Hertz …see more

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called #Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields.

Getting away from your usual routine and environment is the perfect opportunity to reflect on your work. New ideas and insights are most likely to hit you while you’re away from your normal routine.
