Hello Java Junkies, here is a quick lesson on P/E Ratio and what it tells you about Well’s Fargo.
The goal of this article is to teach you how to use price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios).

Service issues at Telsa, and yes to the favorite Economists who know I love Telsa.
Tesla owners still love their vehicles, and the electric automaker still beats out competitors, according to a new survey by research firm Bernstein. But the company’s Achilles’ heel is its customer service.

Hola Exchange members, in regards to personal financial independence most people ask the same question – how do I create wealth. One method to create wealth is to spend less on the necessary goods and save the difference. The video above is not a deep dive in the financial aspect of your money, but on the practical points of the second biggest bill most people will make, their car. After your house, and in some cases your college tuition, your car is one of the most expensive items you will invest into. The term invest is a bit miss leading. In the purest sense an investment is something that generates an income. Cars, on the other hand, do not generate an income, but a car provides you a means to create income. Should you spend more on a deprecating asset or less? Watch Mr. Kilmer and you decide.

Hola Economic Jedi, a brief summary of the week that was…
Enjoy your weekend.
Hello young Economist & Jedi, I wanted to share this with the present and future student on how to get into your professor’s good graces. Another way to view this, how to avoid the doghouse with your instructor.
College is not an extension of high school. That may seem obvious to anyone who has gotten a degree, but in my decades of teaching, I have observed many college freshmen who do not understand the expectations of college classes. Those 18-year-olds who are slow to figure out this basic truth risk failing classes or dropping out of school — two costly mistakes — or graduating with a mediocre record, which isn’t much better.

Netflix, the ultimate disruptor, could be headed to extinction. The company started the streaming service model and created a business unlike any other. The streaming idea is so good the competition is using Netflix as a guide to create their own streaming service, in turn disrupting the disruptor.
In the latest blow to Netflix Inc., AMC Theatres, the biggest cinema chain in the world, said Tuesday it is launching a streaming service that will allow members of its loyalty program to rent or buy films and watch them at home, the first such offering from a cinema operator. The 20 million-plus U.S. households that have signed up to the company’s AMC Stubs program will be able to access about 2,000 films from every major studio, starting Tuesday. Later in the year the service is slated to be expanded to include films from AMC Networks’ (AMCX)IFC Films and RLJE Films.

I don’t quite understand the financial world, however I believe the Michigan Pension Board made the correct decision here. The article speaks volumes. The industry needs to change.
The state of Michigan has pulled $600 million of its pension fund from wealth management company Fisher Investments after the company’s founder and CEO Ken Fisher made sexist comments at a summit in San Francisco this week.
