"We each come by the gifts we have to offer by an infinite series of influences and lucky breaks we can never fully understand."
— MacKenzie Scott
4. Term Of The Day 📚
Liquidity
📖Definition:
Liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be quickly bought or sold in the market without affecting its price.
📊 Why it matters:
Highly liquid assets (like stocks or cash) can be quickly converted without much loss in value. Illiquid assets (like real estate or collectibles) may take longer to sell and could require discounting.
💡 Example:
Apple stock is highly liquid because it trades in high volume daily. A rare vintage car, on the other hand, is much less liquid.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
Track: “Manchild” – Sabrina Carpenter
🎶 Why it hits: Released today, this synth-pop track produced by Jack Antonoff showcases Carpenter's sharp wit and catchy melodies, making it a standout addition to your summer playlist.
