Bear's Confusion

This poem was written when markets were in a phenomenal bull run and bears had no idea what was going on, all the 'tops' were taken out like pins. This was the confusion of the Bear.

But today, with this phenomenal bear market, I guess it is Bull's confusion. But then, replace Bear with Bull, the poem remains the same.


** Bears confusion **

*******************************************

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Tell me when the market is gonna fall,
All the kings and kings men say
Techinicals is weak again.
Stochastics and price say
"I am going the other way"
All the prophecies gone waste
And oracles run to hide their face.

Easy money just there to take,
The truth has never been so fake;
All the men run up and down,
Blind in dark seek their way;
Tired bulls and blood hound astray,
For no king - none to say,
Market's going up all the way.

Sane words, "Doomsayers" They say,
The age and wrinkles are laughed away;
"This is new era, a new day,
All thy old wisdom art to be buried away."

Mirror replies:

Ask my child, if you ask at all,
Not when the markets fall
But do you need to ask at all.

Many come, everyday
Same questions they pray.
Realise the wisdom not in answers,
But in discovery life teaches you everyday.

Many have come, many have gone,
Only few left to walk the path alone;
Borrowed light flickers not long-
They own the light, not the trekker's song.

Know the life's song,
Greed is never good, and has not been wrong.
Take heed, and listen to what the old man says,
Else fool and his money, will walk the other way.

No matter how good you are, world may say;
You are, what you are - on the final day.
All the King's men and the kingdom's jewels,
Can't add a minute, that has passed away.

When you have your need fulfilled;
Take heed, what does you mind say?
Is it need, greed or wisdom that makes you stay?
Ups and downs are here to stay,
You are the master, who marks your way.

Me:

But what do I do?!
You did not say,
Deaf I am, blind I am,
Your wisdom, I did not hear you say.

Mirror replies:

Lady with her own mind
Is of a dangerous kind;
Many come and Many say:
She will do this and that today.
What she does today, I dare not say.
The lady I love, I love her anyway.

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...
