The coronation of King Charles the III is tomorrow in London — but you didn’t realize the royal family is Royalty Incorporated (worth $21B).

The Best One Yet - 📓 “Who killed Homework?” — AI’s 1st victim. Uber’s Lyft question. Germany’s free soccer tickets.

We just saw the first stock market victim of AI: Chegg’s online tutoring stock plummeted 48% because students aren’t using tutors… they’re using ChatGPT. Uber just had its best day on Wall Street ever, so we need to stop comparing it to Lyft (fyi: Uber is now worth 20X Lyfts). And one struggling German soccer team found a unique strategy to fix its half-empty stadium problem: Free tickets. $CHGG $UBER $LYFT Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?
