• Common Business Management and Stock Investment Relationship Tips (Part 1) - 31 January 2008

Inter-personal relationships have equal effects on business management and stock investment. We are a social species, yet some executives and investors like to be loners. However, the chances of sustained success improve when we are able to build long-term and trusting relationships with others for mutual benefits. It is generally a multiple rather than a dual matter, though intensity inevitably decreases with the size of a group or a team. Global effects on business and stock investing are special, because bonding with people from other cultures presents special challenges.

Common Business Management and Stock Investment Relationship Tips (Part 1)

Empathy Builds Long-Term Stock Investing and Business Relationships

Neither speaking nor writing, are the only means of communication. Those who laugh at the gesticulations of others may have mirthful but unconscious habits of their own. There is abundant common sense about the meanings of clothes, fashion, styles, and etiquette, but only those trained in behavioral psychology can use tools of color, appearance, and gestures professionally. Psychology also tells us about patterns and tendencies of individuals, as well as about techniques to deal best with the aggressive, indifferent, or the reticent. Unfortunately, most of us practice these skills more on others than on our selves!

• Back to Entrepreneurial Schools to Revive Flagging Stocks (Part 1) - 30 January 2008

Should the adage of history repeating itself not apply to stocks? Regression analysis has become rather archaic in cutting-edge stock investment technology, but the cornerstone events of stock market history are worth revisiting in order to derive lessons for the future. No stock exchange has ever functioned without encountering irrepressible volatility, so interregnums of relative calm offer the best hopes of productive reflection. OTCBB and even PK stocks can sometimes provide ideas to executives responsible for large corporations, because success and failure, growth and stagnation, as well as profits and cash drains are all tantalizingly close to each other!

The ER Approach to Critical Stock Recovery

Stock investment can be like medicine, because emergencies bring out the best in people. A crisis can quickly turn in to an opportunity for new and stable growth, whereas exuberant celebrations of transient success may hide precipitous falls! Skilled and experienced ER teams deal with frightening casualties, displaying professional calm, and can bring people back from the brink of death in minutes. A typical stock market is no stranger to frenzy, but the really important corrective, preventive, and contingent actions take place in management meeting rooms, well-hidden from amateur views.

• Strategic Sourcing Lessons from the Chicago Stock Exchange (Part 1) - 29 January 2008

Western economies have transited from agricultural domination to industries and services, so stock investors unfamiliar with the Mid-West of the United States, and basically urban in upbringing, treat pork belly futures with misplaced mirth. Though inclement weather and sudden pest and disease outbreaks can play havoc with production levels, farms are ideally suited for forecasting based on models. We can use hard information on area planted and numbers of animals to foretell how much of agricultural commodities will be available during coming months. The entire stock trading world owes the Chicago stock exchange for making a science of predicting farm output.

Strategic Sourcing Lessons from the Chicago Stock Exchange (Part 1)

A disaster of any kind is not an event from which anyone should draw advantages, but the fact remains that acutely adverse incidents expose vital inventory linkages. Stock investors can observe how badly individual companies are affected, and also how quickly they resume normal operations. Another set of signs relate to terms of trade: items that companies pay for in cash or even in advance must be scarce.

• Mind Games with Your Stocks (Part 1) - 28 January 2008

It is widely known that psychology plays pivotal roles in most stock market transactions. Some of the most successful stock brokers capitalize on the illogical fancies of investors, and may even be party to spreading bits of information that lack substantial bases. What about powerful executives, and hands-on owners who have inherited controlling stocks? Can they become victims of delusions when hostile moves take place in a stock exchange? Is arrogance a danger as ideas that seem profitable at first, turn sour later? This should not concern us if someone else’s private equity is at stake, but are you willing to stake your capital to serve someone else’s false pride?
