In this episode of "The Skinny On...", we discuss the looming deadline for a sale or potential ban of TikTok in the United States, and speculate as to who might rescue it with a purchase. We approach the problem through the lens of an Investment Banker, thinking through the comps, valuation metrics, strategic interests, and antitrust implications.

We also follow up on last week's conversations about the wildfires in California from a homeowner's insurance standpoint, and address the complexities of state-by-state legislation which, while perhaps well-intentioned, has led to disastrous consequences when ti comes to coverage in the impacted areas around LA.

And finally, we share a personal story about how investment bankers can be pretty dumb when it comes to personal banking. We explain why banks don't pay anything on their deposits relative to their scrappier competitors, and how we almost forgot this ourselves.
