    Grandich sure has a dream of watching America fall.
    I was critical when he said AMERICANS ARE "LIKE PIGS IN MUD.” and complained to his newsletter.
    Here are the responses I received:
    "We'll put yours(my emai criticism) in the trash where it belongs."
    "It’s obvious you have no life.
    I’m not about to give you the attention you obviously don’t get elsewhere
    Now shoo fly, shoo
    You’re nothing more than a whiner who likes to hear themselves complain but don’t like it when the party they complain about doesn’t respond the way they think they should.
    All you’ve been is some cheap entertainment on an otherwise slow day
    Now, do like any little child does and play in your sand box without us."

    I think "professional" isn't in his vocabulary.

    After, I posted the above responses, which Thomas Troy, who I suppose filters out the critical letters to Mr. Grandich, I asked if he was going to let Mr. Grandich see my letter. I was still offended by the phrase,
    Americans, "like pigs in mud" and now, by Thomas Troy's responses. His response:
    We only show him things written by humans.
    You obviously don’t qualify
    Please forward me money if you wish me to keep speaking to you since it’s obvious you have no other life."
    I found the exchange unbelieveable. How can one trust the advice of someone who hires people who treat other people like this??

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
