In that relatively brief time, the indices show investor enthusiasm over sports betting, which stands at ...

Not that they ever went out of style, but newsletters and subscriptions seem to be peaking again. Bloomberg Media’s Justin Smith has talked about their stickiness and comfort at a time like this. Industry Dive is up to about 22 different newsletters now in 19 industries. And Digiday ran an article last week titled How Substack Has Spawned a New Class of Newsletter Entrepreneurs.   “We’re coming in with an opportunity-focused mindset,’ said Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie [whom I interviewed three years ago], fresh off raising $15.3 million last summer. “‘During the first 20-30 years of the internet, in terms of information distribution and media, the innovation has mostly come around an ad-supported model. There’s a whole 20-30 years of innovation to come that more fully innovates around a subscription model.’”   Here are some ideas on keeping the new readership—newsletters ...

Joseph Wysocki, Husband of SIPA's Former Longtime Managing Director Patti Wysocki, Passes Away at Age 72   Joseph Wysocki, Jr., 72, passed away Friday, June 12, 2020, in Richmond, Va., of a heart attack while golfing. He was the husband of former longtime SIPA managing director Patti Wysocki, who served SIPA from March 1984 to October 2006.   A Citadel graduate, Joseph served his country in the Air Force while in the Vietnam War. Later on, he was an investigator for the Virginia government. Besides playing golf, he also enjoyed gardening.   "Joe was truly authentic," said Phil Binkow, CEO of SIPA member Financial Operations Networks, where Patti has worked since leaving SIPA. "He exuded strength not just in his principles, but also in his genuine and gentle caring, humor and wit. To count Joe as your friend was a blessing; we will miss him greatly."   Another memory, in his obituary, came fro ...

"A skill I never expected to see on our son's kindergarten report card: 'Can independently mute and unmute himself when requested to do so.' Maybe we should add this to performance reviews at work.

Go to most publisher websites today, and most likely, COVID-19 has a big presence. On SIPA member insideARM, the lead story is Receivables Industry Leaders Share COVID-19 Strategies, Successes, and Lessons Learned. On Inside Mortgage Finance, the top story in "Latest News" is Amid the Pandemic, the Mortgage Market Has a New Origination King: Quicken.   At Education Week, a pop-up emerges, "Free Resources for School Closures." At Business Management Daily, the lead article is Out of Sight, Not Out Of Mind: Managing Remote Employee Performance. At Behr's GmbH in Germany, the first message I see is an ad for their "Online-Seminar-Serie – Corona: Maßnahmen für die Lebensmittelindustrie." I don't need advanced German to figure out what that's about. (I just need Google – Corona: Measures for the Food Industry.)   Thus, I was a little surprised yesterday during an excellent webinar hosted by the American Society of Business Publication Editors titled,&nbs ...
