A post on a bunch of interesting facts about the Kennedy family...
I've read ~10-14 books on the Kennedy family. I've concluded that they're mostly horrible.
Why?
Because I'm I love America + our history.
And the Kennedy family is part America's history.
Here are some nutty facts:
- The Kennedy family starts with Joe sr. He was born in 1888. He became on of the richest people in America and had 9 kids (one of them being JFK).
- Joe got rich through basically lying and cheating. He a PE/banker guy. Made his 1st bit of money via insider trading. Ironically, he becomes SEC 1st chairman and made insider trading illegal.
- He was worth the equivalent of like $5b. Got richer buying/selling movie studios. Slept with tons of actresses.
- Accused of hiring a girlfriend to accuse a studio owner of rape, owner gets arrested, Joe then buys the studio for pennies, then murders the girlfriend (she died suspiciously from poisoning, she accuses him while dying).
- Joe wanted to run for president. He didn't have the it factor. So became ambassador to England during WW2. Wasn't totally opposed to Hitler, which made him unpopular (obviously)
- Joe has 9 kids...because he wanted them to run for gov and get power, which he was obsessed with and couldn't' get on his own.
- His eldest, Joe Jr, died in a suicide mission during ww2. Plane went down.
- His second oldest, Kit, died soon after in a plane crash in Europe. Her bf was a rich young hot shot who shouldn't have been flying a plane...died.
- Around that time their other kid, Rosemary, was autistic. Joe sr didn't entirely understand it. Got her a lobotomy. Turns her into a vegetable, they ship her off to an institution 18 years old and never see her again (she lives until like 90 years old).
- Joe Sr's daughter, Eunice, founds the Special Olympics in tribute to Rosemary.
- JFK is the next kid. He's a hero during ww2. But like his dad, a real cocksman. Cheats on Jackie so much. Jackie has like 2-3 miscarriages. Likely because JFK have her STDs. The Secret Service begs him to not ride in a convertible. "I need to prove I'm a man of the people," he'd say. He gets killed.
- RFK is next. Seems like a fine guy (but i don't know much about him). But gets killed 4 years after JFK. He had like 9-10 kids.
- Ted Kennedy is the youngest. Piece of shit. A drunk who cheats on his wife like crazy. When he's like 28 and married, a year after JFK is killed, he's driving a pretty young lady home at midnight. He's drunk and drives the car into a lake. He walks away fine. the girl dies. But not right away. She was alive in the car for 60 minutes. He doesn't get help.
Anyway, those are some stories. Not perfectly accurate since I'm going off the dome.
But crazy interesting family. So many more stories.

Here are three methods to project inventories in financial models:
🔹 1. 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵
👉 Uses Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) to estimate future inventory levels.
👉 Incorporates scenario analysis (e.g., changes in DIO by +/- 5% or 10%) to assess impact on cash flow.
Best for: Sensitivity analysis and understanding how inventory changes affect liquidity.
🔹 2. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵
👉 Breaks down inventory into Raw Materials, Work in Progress (WIP), and Finished Goods.
👉 Uses Days on Hand for each component to estimate total inventory.
Best for: Businesses with complex supply chains and manufacturing operations.
🔹 3. 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹-𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 (𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴)
👉 Projects inventory by tracking beginning balance, purchases, COGS, and write-offs over time.
👉 Helps in reconciliation with financial statements and adjusting for write-downs.
Best for: Retail and industries with detailed inventory tracking needs.

I just got our annual P&L — solid forecast, reliable numbers.
Profit looks great…
But then I check the bank account and think:
Where’s the money? 😳💸
Profit is taxed.
Cash is what I live on.
So next year, I’m entering with a new superpower:
📊 A simple model to track cash flow vs profit.
Why cash can be way lower than profit:
👉 Sales recognized, but cash not collected
👉 Inventory bought, but not yet expensed
👉 Suppliers paid for prior-period costs
👉 Non-cash expenses
👉 Prepaid costs
👉 Heavy Capex
👉 Dividends

Let’s stop confusing profit with reality.
It’s time to track cash like a CFO.

I’m old enough to remember when DOGE savings were a major part of the bull thesis for 2025.
Spencer Hakimian@SpencerHakimian
It’s pretty insane that DOGE is already voluntarily lowering its guidance by -97% and it’s not even Easter yet. One of the biggest failures in political history. And it was *so* obvious both ex ante and ex post.
