120 Billion Reasons to Sell the Yen
Last year, one of the few financial instruments that was headed to the moon was the Japanese Yen. Since then, things in Japan have started to unravel. GDP has declined and exporters are suffering. Shorting the Yen vs the US dollar will prove to be profitable during 2009.

Young Presidents Organization----Not So Lonely at the Top!
The YPO Mission: "Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange". CEO Think Tanks are a concept that dates back to Native American Tribal Councils, where the Top Tribal Chiefs gathered around the fire to share best practices of hunting and fishing. Today those discussions held in the trusted privacy of the CEO Tribal Circle are about a different, but nonetheless challenging, hunt to build a prosperous and ethical organization in a competitive marketplace. Talk to any CEO! To be beloved and respected by shareholders, customers and employees, not to mention your number one customer "your own family" requires a mixture of warrior instinct and an ultimate blend of Survival Skills and Emotional Intelligence.
Northwoods Alchemy IV - Africa is looking up
After years of being fed a constant diet of bad news about the continent, most Americans are all too ready to assume nothing but the worst stories come out of Africa. Sometimes it seems that CNN has a special slot reserved just for a weekly feature on pestilence, war and famine. At least in the US media, you really have to look hard to find anything approaching good news about Africa, anything you might think of “looking up” to.

Win By Giving Stuff Away
People don’t want to get sold stuff. They want stuff for nothing. Learn how to make a profit even when having fun giving stuff away!
Resolving Needs - What Your Employees Wish For!
Sometimes in business, the big stuff gets the all the attention it needs - whilst the small stuff misses out. Yet it is the small stuff that your people live with day in, day out. For them, the biggest issues they face are not 'Mission Statements', 'Visions' or 'Corporate Values' - sorry, they just aren't interested. So what is important to them? Here's how you find out...
Increase Sales with a Fine Tooth Comb
What’s the difference between what you do and how you do it and how top producers do the same things? It’s all in the details. The stuff you don’t even notice or think about. The stuff you can’t even see.

Software Development The Way GOD Does It
In the beginning God created the universe and filled it with objects. He gave each object a set of attributes and placed it in a particular location in the universe where it occupies some space. Each object has been given the ability to do some stuff and communicate with other objects around it by sending and receiving messages. An object is able to do some stuff by itself (including create other objects) but for other stuff it needs to send messages to other objects asking for help. And some stuff it can only do if it's asked to by other objects.
Successful People Treat Problems and Setbacks as Opportunities
Stuff happens: good stuff, bad stuff, frustrating stuff, and unexpected stuff. Most of it is out of your control. Successful people respond to the stuff that happens in a positive way. Humans are the only animals with free will. That means we -- you and me -- get to decide how we react to every situation that comes up. It's your choice. Successful people choose to respond to events proactively. They do what they can to make the best out of any situation in which they find themselves. Use them to become a better, more successful person.

Want Success? Take a Lesson From Lindsey Vonn
As you go through life, stuff will happen; good stuff, bad stuff, frustrating stuff, happy stuff, sad stuff, fortunate stuff, unfortunate stuff. Successful people choose to react to the stuff that happens -- especially the negative stuff -- in a positive way. Lindsey Vonn had some really bad stuff happen -- a deep bone bruise on her shin; and some lucky stuff -- the warm weather in Vancouver that delayed the women's downhill -- happen to her over the past couple of weeks. She did what she could with it. And what she did was pretty spectacular. The next time things get you down, think of Lindsey Vonn, do what you can to recover from circumstances and stay positive. Because that's what successful people do -- they choose to react positively to the negative people and events in their lives.
We Need A Storage Jedi
Your smartphone, your notebook/netbook/tablet, your camera. We can't grab enough short/long version video and social media stuff to enjoy every waking moment. Some of it has to carry over and rather than search for it again we store it...somewhere. Then we store it again...and again...and again. In a few years documents, data, content volumes will increase by a whopping factor of 44. Think about it...the world, your world revolves around storage. Sure you can put it in someone's cloud but do you really stuff your stuff to "them?" Nope! So we'll produce more -- more HD, more flash, more optical, more tape, more.... See what the future holds for you and everyone else.

Are you really good at handling cr@p?
Bad stuff happens to good and even somewhat enlightened people. But when you get really good at handling cruddy stuff often enough, you become comfortable with it. You might think that you’re living better now that you’re able to tolerate bad stuff without flying off the handle, but is that really a good thing?
The More You Sweat, The Less You "Sweat"
You've heard that wonderful expression, "Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all small stuff!" In fact, I'm pretty sure some writer has made a boatload of money with little books bearing similarly-worded titles. But the fact is, if you own a business - or if your leadership mission is a challenging, "entrepreneurial" one - you have to sweat the small stuff. It often seems as though your business and mission depend on it....
