HAPPY SATURDAY TO THE STREET.

And welcome back to Street Tweets from The Street Sheet!

It’s official: College degrees are losing their shine.

Fewer than 50% of business leaders see college degrees as essential for getting ahead in the workplace, according to a LinkedIn study.

The good news? Moving towards a skill-based hiring market could mean that your work ethic matters more than your academic accolades.

The bad news? We wouldn’t count on your alma mater sending you a refund anytime soon.

MARKET REVIEW

Cracks in the economy? Stocks don’t care.

Consumer sentiment dropped, along with US nonfarm payrolls. That didn’t stop the stock market from posting an impressive week, fueled in large part by Oracle’s $ORCL ( ▼ 5.09% ) massive earnings report. Last week, the S&P 500 rose 1.6%, the Nasdaq Composite popped 2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added nearly 1%.

LEARN FROM THIS INVESTOR’S $100M MISTAKE

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today. 

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains. 

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from Maveron, Greycroft, and more. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

And you can join them for just $2.90/share. Just don’t wait. Pacaso’s opportunity officially ends September 18.

Turns out an old dog can learn new tricks.

Apple’s $AAPL ( ▲ 1.76% ) product release might not have impressed investors, but at least it provided more than just light variations on the same old themes.

Instead, Tim Cook and Co unveiled the thinnest iPhone yet, along with a viral image revealing the shocking size of the iPhone’s brain. The AirPods also got upgraded with real-time translation.

You’d think this would send Duolingo $DUOL ( ▼ 0.46% ) cratering, but the stock was up more than 16% on the week. Can someone please translate the logic there?

Oracle’s deal minted a new richest man.

OpenAI signed a $300 billion (that’s a big B) data center deal with Oracle $ORCL ( ▼ 5.09% ).

Both Oracle’s stock and CEO Larry Ellison’s net worth subsequently soared, rising 40% and $101 billion, respectively.

The size of this deal raised a few important questions, like, where is OpenAI gonna get $300B? Or, perhaps more pressingly, what is Elon Musk going to say?

Are you smarter than a Redditor?

Turns out even the world’s smartest technology can’t resist doing a quick Wikipedia search for some easy answers.

If ChatGPT were in high school, it would get detention for citing these sources. Just saying.

BIG INVESTORS ARE BUYING THIS ‘UNLISTED’ STOCK

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VC firms that backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

And you can join them as an early-stage investor for just $2.90/share. 

Just don’t wait. Pacaso’s opportunity officially ends September 18.

A live look at the high-flying US economy.

Is the market still getting ready for takeoff? Or is its engine about to blow out at cruising altitude? Only time will tell.

9-9-6 is the new 9-5.

Silicon Valley tech bros are reportedly grinding from 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week.

Watch out, Waymo $GOOGL ( ▲ 0.18% ). If robotaxi growth is slow, it might just be because no one in the target market has any reason to leave the office…

This company just announced plans to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, a move that could shake up the media industry.
