LETTER TO THE EDITOR-- Dear GBA.- I left Mad Money Breakfast Club when James Cramer said 4% income off a passive bond is what I should do with my money. Instead I put everything into DICE Bio on you recommendation and this morning I am $40,000 richer on 2,000 shares! I am so glad I left Cramer. Signed- Jackson P. Port Huron Mich.
The $1.1 million average salary of Neom’s c-suite level executives is detailed in an internal list of compensation for different positions. It compares with an average salary of $830,000 in 2021for chief executives of the 3,000 largest listed U.S. companies, according to data from MyLogIQ LLC, which tracks public filings. It is also more than twice as much as American c-suite level executives typically make, the data shows, with chief financial officers making $486,000 and chief marketing officers $416,000, on average. Total compensation for American c-suite level executives can also reach millions of dollars after bonuses and other incentives. The $1.1 million average figure at Neom is the basic pay and people also receive a bonus, said people familiar with the project. Neom is the most ambitious project in Saudi Arabia and one of dozens of real-estate developments and new companies. Neom’s senior leadership team is made up of roughly 20 Saudis and foreigners, with expertise across financial services, energy and marketing and media, according to a Neom marketing presentation seen by The Wall Street Journal and people familiar with the project’s internal setup. These include Peter Terium, the former chief executive of German energy company RWE AG and now head of Neom’s energy, water and food sectors; Vishal Wanchoo, former president & chief executive of South Asia at General Electric Co., now running the manufacturing sector at Neom; and Tim Shorrocks, chief marketing officer, previously director at Amazon Web Services. Former Cisco Systems Inc. executive Joseph Bradley heads up technology and digital at Neom. One of Saudi Arabia’s biggest attractions for expat workers, recruiters say, is the prospect of taking home your entire paycheck: there are zero income taxes in the kingdom. Many employees are drawn to the idea of creating entirely new companies and industries in a once-cloistered country now opening up socially and economically. “Needless to say that building a 100% renewable energy system from scratch and the largest green hydrogen plant in the world is more of a motivator than the actual salary paid,” Mr. Terium told the Journal.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR DEAR VZ (The Savant), I listened to you when you said Stoney was a bio-guru, but unlike Stoney's readers, I also listened when you said "use options". While some readers made $40K, I made $400K. THANK YOU VZ---->>>> YOU'RE THE GREATEST. All of my love, Melinda in Memphis
Toast Launches Invoicing to Help Restaurants Grow Their Catering and Events Business Tue, October 11, 2022, 8:00 AM With integrated digital invoicing, Toast streamlines the process of creating customer invoices, collecting payments, prepping and fulfilling orders BOSTON, October 11, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toast (NYSE: TOST), the all-in-one digital platform built for restaurants, today announced the launch of Toast Invoicing, a new product to help restaurants seamlessly manage catering and wholesale orders alongside their in-person, takeout and delivery business. Available at no additional monthly cost1to existing customers, Toast Invoicing allows restaurants to streamline operations and simplify payments for all types of orders and events, merging revenue sources that had otherwise required multiple systems to manage. "Whether it’s a bakery fulfilling an order for a wedding or a downtown brewery selling craft beer to other local businesses, restaurants have evolved to more than just providing guests an incredible on-site experience," said Aman Narang, president and co-founder of Toast. "Our customers are managing in-person dining, online orders, catering and wholesale orders all under one roof. Toast Invoicing is another key building block for restaurants to expand their service models and grow their entire business all on one platform with Toast." "I used to designate about one to two days to invoicing," said Brynn Keefe, cake shop manager of Luna Bakery & Cafe. "Now within five or ten minutes, I can send a contract through an invoice and the customer pays it within a day or two. I never would’ve thought the food industry would need technology like we do. Now that it is here, I can’t imagine life without Toast Invoicing." According to Toast’s first Voice of the Restaurant Industry survey, 72 percent of restaurants offer catering in addition to their on-premise business. Catering is one of the top three areas of focus for restaurant owners and operators heading into 2023.2However, many restaurants need a different system to bill customers for catering, wholesale and house account balances. Toast Invoicing eliminates the need for multiple systems by integrating the invoices with a restaurant’s existing sales and operations. Toast Invoicing allows restaurants to: Streamline catering and wholesale with integrated order and payment tracking- Toast Invoicing enables restaurants to easily capture orders online, send estimates, print full page prep sheets and track orders through a calendar view that is fully integrated with Toast Point of Sale and Toast Kitchen Display System (KDS). It provides everyone from catering managers to back of house staff access to the tools and information they need to be successful. Easily manage invoices for all types of orders- Toast Invoicing integrates directly with a restaurant’s menu in Toast, so they can simply itemize invoices from their existing menu. It also allows restaurants to accept tips with an invoice and digitally distribute them to staff using Toast Payroll & Team Management. Simplify payments- Toast customers have the ability to send an invoice from any device, not just their point of sale system. They can set payment due dates and reminders as well as collect and redeem deposits. Through Toast Invoicing, a restaurant’s customer has the flexibility to pay online at any time.

But beyond al of that-- I dropped a vid a ways back about a medic set up up a mountain with a guy in a jet pack 3 min vs 3 hrs hiking.... Our Special forces must be looking into these jet packs.. so James Bond! Sending in one man with a jet pack...
