A revolution cometh


There are two types of people here: one who are smart enough to get the real picture from the ground and the second, who rely on somebody's painted image to make a percept. To simplify further, there are people who can think and there are people who need to be fed thoughts. Majority of the people are latter, and if you are a salaried, sinecure and safely ensconced person, a very high probability you are latter.

The depths to which the society is crying for help leaves me aghast. Speechless, spellbound and angry. And helpless. There isn't much I can do sitting other than crib a little more about how bad things are becoming. But it is. Just because I am staring at it like a deer-at-headlights don’t means the facts change. I have never experienced such a hopeless situation as we now find ourselves in. 

And what drives me mad, truly mad as hell, is that this is easily and quickly resolvable. All and only thing required is a WILL to do it. Alas alas, for the spineless conscienceless keepers that we elected are happy to fiddle their thumbs as their populations suffer. Only if more and more people start looking out of their window (not just the browser) and see how the real life is impacted you will see why we are on throes of revolution - much needed and damningly fierce and brutal. Like any battle of elephants, few ants are going to be crushed, in this battle of subsistence and ultra-rich aka The 1%, the clash will be fierce.

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...
