America’s greatest talent is the ability to turn almost anything into an entertainment show – from baking cakes and investigating crimes to driving trucks across frozen lakes and raising children which is rude. There’s a reality show about everything. Finance, of course, is an exception. I recently had the opportunity to observe the small festival of capitalism that has turned into a tourist entertainment – the beginning and end of the financial trading day at the largest stock exchanges in the world in New York. There were surprises, disappointments and reflections that we could borrow from across the ocean.
Finanšu kvartāla šaurās, eiropiešiem labāk saprotamās ieliņas apvienojumā ar debesskrāpjiem atgādina par to, cik fiziski mazs un cik finansiāli nevarīgs esi.

So almost four times less. Recently also “Delphi business“I wrote about the calculation that says – to put the rest of the world to shame, you don’t even need to count all the companies listed on the stock exchange.
