@DavidTaggart @PayPal makes me hate the company a bit more everytime it happens. eventually leads to cancellation of whatever it was. sometimes it comes quick, sometimes slower, but it comes. treat your customers like people, not trash

@DavidTaggart @PayPal Thats dumb. I gave up on Venmo and just use my bank acct and zelle now for similar reasons. Mine would be when a company has a "help" button, you click on it, then it says "contact us", you click on it, then it takes you to a help docs section. that is NOT contacting us

What is something a company has/hasn't done that you just can't comprehend why? I'll go first- @PayPal bought Braintree in 2013 and you still can't transfer money between your Paypal and Venmo acct.

@VrntPerception What type of indicator/model is VP Fast Money?

A good point. Related, if you believe at all in an American reshoring or Monroe Doctrine Redux thesis, there are some quality companies going on sale in the US right now that stand to benefit from vertical integration, Americas based revenue streams, and supply chain disruptions... See below from our note to clients today:

The shareholders are 100% behind @BillAckman fixing the persistent and huge discount to NAV in $PSH his offshore closed end fund of his hedge fund. @BillAckman has elevated the art of being in the public eye on twitter 24/7 to a level very few have reached. Yes, other closed end funds trade at a persistent discount by their managers focusing on other things at the expense of their shareholders. But, by placing focus on this massive discount to NAV and working to close the gap he has an opportunity to call a 90-Day timeout on mindless tweeting about anything that is NOT closing the huge discount, work on relationships that would help close the gap, and help make his PSH shareholders some money even in times of market stress. What board of directors or shareholders would be comfortable when the manager is spending all of their time tweeting about something not in their control when they could be working on delivering shareholder returns, by tweet or by other means. I don't know of one that would prefer the current situation. When managers lose what seems like all of their focus to jump into politics investors start to question if they care, start to lose faith, and definitely don't tell their friends to buy shares as the reputational risk would be to large. But since he gets fees it is ONLY the shareholders that really suffer. Presidents and social media/ev car company owners don't, only shareholders. Running an investment company is a confidence and focus game. The head of PSH clearly spends way too much time tweeting about tariffs and not any time tweeting about closing the persistent and huge discount to NAV on liquid companies. The investment manager has an opportunity right now, not just on Monday, to call a timeout on his current actions and take the time to execute on fixing this huge and persistent discount to NAV. Alternatively he can keep tweeting about random stuff that he hopes someone cares about, all while losing any confidence in his ability to close the NAV discount, which would actually help him raise the $ to buy Howard Hughes as investors would gain some new confidence in his focus. May cooler heads prevail.

you can try different things but when you arent hitting the inbox then take out all the stuff and just send some words.

Weird people still care about cold email open rates. I haven't had that turned on in over a year On my marketing email lists otoh I track it a lot. But google looks at them different and I have images galore in the marketing emails In cold use plain text, no images, no links

@jasonlk aside from the Checkr dude thats a solid lineup. If he is in charge of ops at that cancer on society then he is not good at his job. "we sell fast background checks" dude you need to actually do the background check though lol. VC $ will die there

site speed is vital for the overall user experience as well as for google serp rankings. Ignore it and watch people bounce off your site, fix it and see conversions improve. lots of tools to do it, and I listed some, and 98% of it is easy to do

Others that are good are ShortPixel, LiteSpeed, and more. If you want maybe the best image optimizer in existence and not just for Wordpress then check out Twicpics

It is surprising to me how many "business" sites have not been optimized at all for speed. Google wants a fast site and usually it is not hard to speed it up...a lot.

@DavidTaggart @G2dotcom -5 stars in my experience. Not only is it a pay to play platform, but their AI moderation has been broken since day one. Capterra is no better. I can't wait for both platforms to die off over time.

@G2dotcom Your platform is really painful. You want reviews and then you want screenshots that show we are logged in and use the platform....and then you say the screenshot is not good enough? This is incredibly tedious. My review of your platform is 0 stars.
