Forget Enron. Forget Theranos. This is the wildest scam Wall Street has ever seen: A 32-year-old CEO fooled some of the world’s smartest investors… and walked away with $1.8 BILLION. Here’s how he pulled it off (and where it all went wrong) 🧵:

🚨#BREAKING: NASA officials now report a 2.3% chance of an asteroid striking Earth in 2032, up from 1.9% yesterday. This equates to a 1 in 43 chance of impact, with a 97.7% likelihood that the asteroid will miss. The asteroid is estimated to be between 130 and 330 feet in diameter.

🚨#BREAKING: NASA now says there's a 1.9% chance that a large asteroid will hit Earth in 2032, up from 1.6% yesterday 📌#Earth | #OuterSpace According to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, there is now a 1.9% chance that a large asteroid could pass close enough to Earth within the next decade to pose a potential threat. The odds of impact in 2032 have increased from 1.6% yesterday to 1.9% today, translating to a 1 in 53 chance of collision or a 98.1% chance that the asteroid will miss Earth. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, measures between 130 and 330 feet in diameter. These estimates will likely fluctuate as more data becomes available.

St. Petersburg mayor Ken Welch says that the city is prepared to move on without its MLB club, the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays’ always-tenuous state in the Tampa area is arguably looking worse than ever. Story ⬇️

This has never happened before: The top 10% largest US stocks now reflect a record 75% of the US equity market. This percentage has surpassed the previous record set before the Great Depression in the 1930s. By comparison, at the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak, this percentage was at 73%. The top 10% of stocks as a % of total equity market cap has risen in a near straight-line since the 2008 bottom. Furthermore, the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 now reflect near a record 40% of the index. The market has never been so concentrated.

And if it hits Earth it will probably be over ocean and totally harmless, so the odds are QUITE low. But, they are still too high considering the extreme harm if it were to fall over an urban area. Need more asteroid science & space tech to be ready to deal with these.
