I have found adopting a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast to be helpful in both distressed and non-distressed situations. Reviewing it regularly with the management team is so much more enlightening than doing a monthly review of the standard P&L and BS.

That is definitely one way to look at it, and I may get there someday. Feels like a kick to the teeth at the moment, however

Long before Amazon HQ2 was even an idea, I had Real Estate brokers touting the amazing incentives the city was offering for any company moving to LIC. Looks like the city got the job done...Happy for NYC

Nice try

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2016 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today issued the following statement:

"I welcome the announcement from China's Ministry of Agriculture that it has lifted its ban on U.S. beef following a recently concluded review of the U.S. supply system. This announcement is a critical first step to restore market access for U.S. beef and beef products. We look forward to prompt engagement by the relevant authorities for further technical discussions on the specific conditions that will allow trade to resume. True access to China's beef market—consistent with science-based, international standards for trade—remains a top priority for the United States. The United States produces the highest-quality beef in the world, and China's 1.3 billion consumers are an important market for U.S. producers. The Obama Administration and USDA will continue to press trading partners to eliminate unfair barriers to trade that hamper American farmers and ranchers."
