JPMorgan is leading the pack when it comes to Wall Street revenues, according to Dealogic's preliminary league tables for the first nine months of the year. 

Altogether, global investment banking revenue was down 14% from the same period last year. The only area where revenues were up was in M&A — particularly in healthcare M&A.

League tables are a contentious subject on Wall Street.

Banks use them when pitching for new business, and a good ranking means serious bragging rights. But the league table-data can also be sliced up to make a bank's performance look better (by narrowing the field very narrowly, for example).  

Though they're based on estimates, these tables are the broadest possible and a closely-watched indicator of who is up and who is down. 

Here's how the banks stacked up this time around.

JPMorgan ranked first for overall investment banking revenues

JPMorgan has a 8% market share and $4.3 billion in total revenues for the year to September 23. It was followed closely by rival Goldman Sachs, with $4.1 billion and a 7.6% share. Bank of America was in third place, with $3.4 billion.

Global investment banking revenue was $54.3 billion for the first nine months of 2015, which was down 14% compared to the same period last year.

JPMorgan also ranked first for revenue in debt capital markets

JPMorgan has made $1.3 billion in revenue in debt capital markets, giving it an 8.4% share. Bank of America followed, with just over $1 billion in fees, and Citi raked in $872 million to place third.

DCM revenue fell year-on-year, too, down 12% from the same period last year to $15.1 billion. Revenue from high-yield bonds dropped $25% to its lowest level since 2010. On the other hand, investment-grade bond revenue was up.

Guess who ranked first for equity capital markets? JPMorgan again.

JPMorgan had a 7.4% share in equity capital markets, followed closely by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Equity capital markets revenue was down 15% year-on-year to $14.2 billion. Within that, IPO revenue was down 31%.

Warren Buffett was picking out stocks at 11 years old— and he amassed the equivalent of $53,000 in today's dollars by the time he was 16. 

Today, the 85-year-old investing legend has an estimated net worth of over $70 billion, according to Forbes, making him the third richest man in the world.

Beer is having a moment in Britain thanks to the importing of the "craft" brewing movement from the states a few years ago.

Breweries are springing up across the country and experimenting with styles and methods of brewing that haven't been available for decades — sometimes even longer.

We asked David Jackson of Eebria and Andrew Reeve of Honest Brew to pick out some of their favourite UK-made beers on offer right now. Both Eebria and Honest Brew specialise in selling "craft" beer in the UK (Honest Brew is crowdfunding at the moment.)

We cross-referenced Jackon's and Reeve's choices against scores on beer review site Rate Beer to get a ranking of the top 17 British craft beers you have to try right now — check them out below.

Often referred to as the Navy's best kept secret, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) operators drive well-armed, fast boats in support of special ops missions including stealthy insertion and extraction of SEALs, clandestine reconnaissance, and combat gunfire support. 

SWCCs are the Navy's high-risk water mission experts and therefore, must be physically fit, mentally tough, focused, and responsive in high stress situations — and getting to that point requires brutal mental and physical training.

The Discovery Channel's "Surviving the Cut" shows what SWCCs undergo at a 35-day basic course in Coronado, Calif.

These 26 sailors begin their first day of the 5 week Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewman Training Center in Coronado, California. Each year, 240 sailors start SWCC training and about half pass.

The instructors are prepared to weed out the weakest sailors. "This is a gut check for these guys. They have a small idea of what they have gotten themselves into at this point and we are really going to open their eyes on day one," said one SWCC instructor.

Sailors run a quick 2 miles to the beach and spend the next six hours completing brutal workouts in the sand.

It's all thanks to an old German Brauordnung (beer regulation) that we can enjoy a nice cold beer in a shady beer garden today.

According to the Atlantic, a regulation dating back to the 16th century allowed Germans to only brew beer between the months of September and April, partly because beer brewed at colder temperatures was more pure.

As a result, breweries in Germany built cellars to store beer for the off months, and to keep the cellars cool, they planted trees. Soon, tables and gravel were placed under the trees and the Biergarten (beer garden) was born.

We've rounded up some of the best places to enjoy a beer outdoors around the world.

Much of what separates wealthy people from average people is mental — rich people tend to think differently than the average person.

The good news is that success is a learnable skill, and anyone can start thinking, acting, and making choices like the super wealthy.

In T. Harv Eker's bestselling book, "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind," the self-made millionaire identifies specific "millionaire mind actions" that could help you master and grow your money.

Here, we've highlighted 11 that you can start implementing today:

SEE ALSO: 21 ways rich people think differently than the average person

1. Write down specific goals for your money.

"Write 'play to win' goals for your annual income and net worth," Eker stresses. "Your intention should be to create abundance, not mediocrity." 

Be realistic when setting a time frame to attain these goals, but at the same time, think big and don't be afraid to challenge yourself. 

Why it works: Rich people choose to commit to attaining wealth. It takes focus, courage, knowledge, and a lot of effort, Eker emphasizes, and it's possible if you have precise goals and a clear vision.

"The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want," he writes. "Rich people are totally clear that they want wealth."

2. Join a high-end club.

This could be a tennis, golf, health, or business club, and the idea is to mingle with rich people in a wealthy environment. 

"If there's no way you can afford to join a high-end club, have coffee or tea in the classiest hotel in your city," recommends Eker. "Get comfortable in this atmosphere and watch the patrons, noticing they're no different from you."

Why it works: Rich people hang out with those who are equally or more rich. 

"Exposure to people who are more successful than you are has the potential to expand your thinking and catapult your income," explains self-made millionaire and author Steve Siebold. "In most cases, your net worth mirrors the level of your closest friends." 

3. Read, listen to podcasts, and invest in classes or seminars.

Constantly self-educate, and acquire specific knowledge about your industry, investing, entrepreneurship, or the psychology of money.

Why it works: Rich people choose to constantly learn and grow. The wealthiest learn how to be successful from those who are richer and more successful than they are. They then continue to learn even after they've attained incredible success.

"Success is a learnable skill," emphasizes Eker. "If you want to be a great golfer, you can learn how to do it. If you want to be a great piano player, you can learn how to do it ... If you want to be rich, you can learn how to do it."

Most people are at least somewhat surprised when they hear the words "you're fired." Some are even shocked.

But upon looking back on the situation, almost everyone realizes there were signs — they just chose to ignore them, says Robert Dilenschneider, author of "50 Plus!: Critical Career Decisions for the Rest of Your Life."

Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job," says the savviest professionals always keep an eye out for the classic signs that their job is in danger. This way, if and when they notice red flags popping up, they can attempt to turn the tides before it's too late.

Here are 21 signs you may be getting the boot:

SEE ALSO: 12 signs you're about to be promoted at work

You receive a bad performance review (or two, or three).

A negative evaluation is not always synonymous with being fired, but in conjunction with other bad feedback, it can mean trouble, says Taylor. "Your employer needs to create a paper trail, so along with warnings, your employer will use a performance review to document the problem areas."

More than one poor performance review in a row is an especially bad sign, adds Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "The Humor Advantage." "Depending on how bad your first performance review was, you may be given a chance to make corrections and improve, but a series of critical performance reviews could be a major sign that your job is in jeopardy."

If it's because of a lack of experience or lack of training in a certain area, then there's always a chance to fix it. But critical phrases to be mindful of during performance reviews include, "You're not a good fit for our culture," "You're not a team player,""Your personality or style doesn't seem to mesh with the team," or "You have a major attitude problem."

"If you hear any of these types of criticisms then it's time to break out your résumé, since it's often assumed that attitudinal issues are deeply engrained and unfixable," he says.

You're left out of the loop.

If it's suddenly hard to access important data that would help you perform well in your job, or you're not invited to important meetings or included on key emails, a pink slip may be coming your way, says Taylor.

"There could be other reasons for this happening, but certainly one may be that your leadership has lost the trust or confidence in your abilities, making you vulnerable when and if layoffs happen," Kerr says. 

Your job has become Mission Impossible.

"When you first assumed the role, you had your marching orders and could accomplish them. Now it seems that you’re tasked with projects akin to climbing Mount Everest blindfolded," says Taylor.

"You're being set up to fail," Kerr explains. "Sometimes this is due to lousy leadership, but occasionally it can be because a company wants to get rid of you, but they need solid evidence to do so, and setting you up for disaster is one way of getting the 'proof' you longer belong there."

Tesla is unveiling its much-awaited Model X Tuesday, which has many of the same features as the Model S with a few extra perks.

With the same range as the Model S (250 to 270 miles depending on the model bought) the Model X differs in its ability to seat more and all-wheel drive standard (as opposed to optionality). 

For those who are still considering whether their first foray into all-electric vehicles should be through Tesla, there are other all-electric vehicles on the market (or will be soon) that are worth considering. But even though they may be cheaper than a Tesla, none of them come even close to matching Tesla's range on a single charge.

Here's a list of 10 all-electric vehicles with the best range, from least to greatest.

76 miles: The Ford Focus Electric

The Ford Focus Electric can reach a top speed of 84 miles per hour with 143 horsepower. That motor is pretty solid for an all-electric vehicle, but with a range of just 76 miles you'll be charging fairly frequently. With a cost of $27,170 it slightly makes up for its low range.

The car also has regenerative braking, which allows it to recharge as you drive — the Brake Coach on the panel outlines the energy captured after each stop. 

81 miles: The BMW i3

The all-electric BMW i3 goes from 0 to 70 miles per hour in 7 seconds, making it competitive speed-wise with most all-electric vehicles on the market. With a 170 horsepower, the BMW i3 has one of the more powerful motors for an all-electric vehicle, but it still doesn't touch Tesla Model S with horsepower ranging from 315 to 373.

When hooked up to a level two charging station, the car takes 3.5 hours to charge, which is a bit of a downside.

The BMW i3 Range Extender will up the range from 81 miles to 150 miles. 

It costs $42,400 without tax credits that can amount to $7,500. The Range Extender option will up the price to $46,250. 

82 miles: The Chevrolet Spark EV

The Spark EV can go 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds, similar to most all-electric vehicles on the market. There are no details about the engine on the Chevrolet Spark EV website. The Spark EV can charge to 80 percent in 20 minutes, which is a plus.

It costs $18,495 with the $7,500 tax credit. Considering the charge time and the fact that the speed is competitive with other vehicles, this is a solid option factoring in the low price.

Creating a hit game on Apple's iPhone and iPad store is a lot like making something a "viral" hit on the internet: it can feel like luck outweighs the many logical factors that make a success. 

The man behind mega-hits "Crossy Road" and "Pac-Man 256," as well as lesser known (but similarly successful) games like "Little Things" and "Doodle Find," is an exception to that sentiment. Matt Hall has had five (FIVE!) games reach the number one spot in the Apple app store. He is an incredible anomaly.

Yet, as Hall tells Kotaku Australia in a recent interview, there are five principles he follows in creating great games that sell well.

Make your game with a person in mind

In the case of "Pac-Man 256," Hall tells Kotaku he made it with original "Pac-Man" creator Toru Iwatani in mind. “After I make that game for one person I try and broaden it a little bit. And as long as I don’t destroy what that one person loves, I’m happy.”

Respond to how people are playing games

Don't publish a game based on what you think people will like — look at how people are playing games and create with that in mind. Hall gives the example of his daughter Penny who hates losing in games. "With 'Deck Wars,'" an unreleased game from Hall that he's currently working on, "I was really trying to make a game where Penny would feel good about losing." 

"Kill your darlings"

There's an old saying in the writing and editing world: "kill your darlings." The phrase isn't nearly as monstrous as it sounds; it's meant to tell the writer not to be so precious with his/her writing, and to be prepared to "kill" (delete) sentences/phrases/etc. that may be near and dear to the writer in question. 

A kinder way of putting it is "Be flexible to change." And that's exactly what Hall says is crucial to his success: "I was fairly hostile to free-to-play in the beginning," Hall tells Kotaku Australia, referencing the rise of free-to-play games. "Because I like consuming games, I like going to the store, picking up a game, playing it for 12 hours and putting it away. I like owning it. But it’s really important for developers to understand that when big shifts happen like that, it’s going to change the perspective of the game audience."

Ever find yourself mid-isle at the grocery store with a nearly-identical version of the same product in each hand, pondering whether to buy the one labeled "organic" or the one labeled "all-natural"?

You're not alone. While manyof theselabels sound similar, they can have vastly different meanings, both in terms of how the food is grown or processed and how nutritious it is to eat.

Here's a complete guide to the plethora of food labels you'll find.

UP NEXT: 17 'healthy habits' you're better off giving up

SEE ALSO: Here's the truth about 'healthy’ milk alternatives

"All natural"

What the label implies: Roughly two-thirds of people responding to a 2014 Consumer Reports survey said they thought the term "natural" on food meant that it was free of artificial ingredients, pesticides, and GMOs. 

The low-down: Not quite. According to the FDA, the agency "has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives." In other words, it means diddly squat.

“At present, the word ‘natural’ in food marketing is meaningless, and that’s the way food companies want it,” Gary Ruskin, executive director of US Right to Know, a nonprofit organization that promotes transparency within the food industry, told US News.

"Organic"

What the label implies: According to the USDA, products that are "certified organic" can't contain GMOs and should minimize pesticides and anything synthetic (ie: made in a lab). "100% organic" products contain strictly organics (minus the synthetics the USDA deems safe); "Organic" products contain at least 95% organics by weight.

The low-down: A recent review of the past 50 years of scientific articles stacking organic foods up against non-organics concluded that they were "not significantly different."

• Pesticides: Organic fruits and veggies typically have far fewer pesticide residues than conventional produce. But keep in mind that all residue levels — organic or not — are kept in check by government safety standards.
• The environment: Organic farming is tailored to help the environment by cutting pollution, protecting soil, and conserving water.

"Free range"

What the label implies: Freedom for chickens everywhere.

The low-down: Not so fast. Unlike cage-free chickens, free-range animals do get access to the outdoors (yay!), but still, most free-range hens are subject to some pretty inhumane practices. These include having parts of their beaks removed and being starved to force molting (loss of feathers) to manipulate their natural egg-laying cycle, according to the Humane Society.
