How Equity Dilution Works
In: Investing| Stock Market
20 Jun 2009Equity dilution is the curse of the startup executive. If you don’t understand how equity dilution works, you can find yourself working very hard.for very little.
If you are a senior executive at a startup company and you don’t understand how stock dilution works, you may be on the path to a painful lesson. Don’t learn about equity dilution the hard way. Understand stock dilution before you sign your employment agreement and you’ll be happy you did.

Why Do Markets Create Bubbles?
In: Investing| Stock Market
20 Jun 2009Bubbles are like pornography: Everyone has his or her own opinion as to what qualifies, but it is impossible to pen a precise definition. If you wish to push the metaphor further, both are also fun for a while, if you like that sort of thing, but apt to end up making you feel deflated and embarrassed.
Bubbles are also embarrassing for the economics profession. It’s not that we have no idea what causes bubbles to form, it’s that we have too many ideas for comfort.
Some explanations are psychological. Some point out that many bubbles have been stoked not by markets but by governments. There is even a school of thought that some famous bubbles weren’t bubbles at all.
The psychological explanation is the easiest to explain: People get carried away. They hear stories of their neighbors getting rich and they want a piece of the action. They figure, somehow, that the price of stocks (1929) or dot-com start-ups (1999) or real estate (2006) can only go up.

Investors who have different risk profiles, investment objectives and time frames will adopt different investment strategies in order to achieve a similar result. Basically, there are two types of investors; aggressive and conservative.
An aggressive investor will take a shorter time period to achieve the desired result as his risk attitude should reward him with a higher rate of return, given a dynamic portfolio investment style and a well drawn up investment philosophy.
For any reasonable portfolio management exercise to be meaningful, you must have at least $50,000 to start with. If you’re looking at a portfolio of shares or unit trusts, $50,000 will be a good starting point. As for property investment, $50,000 should be sufficient in most cases for down payments.

In: Lifestyle
20 Jun 2009Have you ever sensed an awkward understanding between two people who are confused and wondering if they’re friends or lovers? You may be one of those who feel that way about a friend.
So what do you do, take the plunge or brush the thought away? It all depends on what you want out of the relationship.
If you have ever taken the time to notice, and grope around a bit, you’d be able to see that there’s a distinct line separating the bonds of friendship and love. If you haven’t figured it out yet, look around. Haven’t you ever noticed two friends of yours who seem to be in love, but somehow are still friends? Or have you ever had a mild crush on a friend? Remember how weird it felt each time you hug them or held hands while crossing a street? Well, it’s embarrassingly stupid, isn’t it? You know the both of you should be in love, but yet, there’s that bond of friendship that seems to be holding you back. So what do you do about it? Do you just hold your fluttering heart in your hands until it regains its composure or do you fling it out towards that friend and hope they’d catch it? Let’s admit it. Would you catch a bleeding heart that’s thrown right at you when you least expect it? Perhaps not. So what do you do when you’re friends, but really have to be lovers?

Twitter – How To Explain Twitter, Why You Should Use Twitter, How Twitter Has Changed
In: Internet| Technology
20 Jun 2009An original post by Keith! I think it’s one of the best guide to someone who doesn’t know what Twitter is!
Twitter is hard to explain to those that aren’t using it. For a long time I have avoided sites like MySpace and Facebook but I’ve always had a blog, a cell phone, and email. Those three items made me feel connected. If I had something to say, I’d blog it. If someone wanted to reach me electronically they could send a text message or email. Lastly they could just call me. Little did I realize how disconnected I was until later on. It took Twitter to really show me how disconnected I was. After becoming a Twitter fan I started to spread the word. Some people I convinced to start using it. Others are still holding out. Maybe this will be enough to put them over the edge.
Not Until They Use It
I remember when I first told Alan Stevens about Twitter.Com. He reluctantly joined and said "oh great, another social networking site". It wasn’t long until he started to see Twitter’s potential though. Alan’s first tweet was on Oct. 25th at 11:04 PM. About a day later he said this and as we can see he was starting to get it and work his way through it.
