[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 148752, member: 1"] Hey all - I hope your commercial awareness journeys are going well. One thing I noticed is that it can be carve out the time unless I have something to prepare for. In your case, it might be a mock interview, it might be finding someone on TCLA to deliver a practise presentation with, or just committing to post a summary in this thread of what you're reading. The other thing I notice is how difficult it can be to know what to track given how frequently the news changes. [I]Everything[/I] can feel important. In the meantime, here’s a couple of stories I have been reading: [LIST=1] [*][B]Arm’s IPO[/B]: Arm will be listing on the Nasdaq. Its valuation is lower than expected, but it'll still be the largest IPO this year.
