If Apple's cash position was a stack of pennies, it would reach almost 25 million miles into space.
And would weigh 144 billion pounds.
Three MLB games today finished with a score of 7-0.
Boston 7–0 Toronto, Washington 7–0 Chicago, and the Angels 7–0 Texas.
It happened only once before in MLB history--62 years ago, in October 1964.
No nonhuman creature is capable of anything remotely comparable to this.
Acuña catches a 5-ounce sphere 300 feet from where he wants it to go, rotates his body, and launches that sphere through the atmosphere such that it travels the entire distance without touching the earth.
Fifteen years ago today, August 5, 2011:
S&P reduced the USA's rating from AAA to AA+. First downgrade ever of US credit.
Market had a sharp correction, then hit new lows in late September.
The S&P 500's forward PE dropped below 11x.
A stunning buying opportunity.
Memories!
The lowest oil price in human history: April 20, 2020.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto induces a double play, and the @Dodgers win back-to-back titles!
Fact: Springer’s home run had a higher Championship Win Probability Added (cWPA) than any play in the LCS since 1992.
Today I learned:
The famous harmonic series in mathematics (1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5...) has a sum that grows so slowly, it would take the most powerful supercomputer on Earth about ten million trillion years to add enough terms to reach the humble sum of 100.

Dear Baseball Fans and US History buffs:
A🧵about today's date, OCTOBER 16, and a bizarre and fascinating coincidence that occurred on this day.
That's when National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy alerted President Kennedy that CIA analysts had deciphered photographs showing Soviet missile bases under construction in Cuba. J
90 miles off the coast of Florida.
The most dangerous moment in history had arrived.
