....and the editorship of Norwegian Robin Wigglesworth, can the dream of Svalbard 24/7 at FTAV be far behind?

From FT Alphaville, April 29, 2022:

It’s Jamie Powell’s last day on FT Alphaville. From writing in 2018 about how Tesla was overvalued at $340 to writing in 2022 about how Tesla was overvalued at $920 post a five-for-one stock split, Jamie has been a constant source of insight and/or entertainment.

Mr. Powell arrived as a somewhat brash spreadsheet maven, came to see the fact that Excel can't explain everything, and leaves as a better writer and far keener observer of market mania. 

He was fortunate in that his time at Alphaville overlapped covid, r/wallstreetbets, stimmies, and Elon. Along with negative oil prices, SPAC's, NFT's and Izabella Kaminska, and the events the un-bylined, electron-stained wretches known only as FT Alphaville have chosen for the look-back.  

"Fair Winds and Following Seas," Jamie.

Now on to Longyearbyen.
