The Shapes That Model Retail
There has been a tremendous amount of discussion by economists and government experts in regard to the type of recession we are in, as well as the possible ways we could come out of it. There are varied opinions and speculation as to where things go from here. This is pretty clearly demonstrated in the different models, or 'shapes', that the recovery might take, which have come to be characterized by various letters of the alphabet. Although Economists may track and analyze a number of economic issues and trends that would also impact retailers, it is from an aggregate level. So the question is, what will the economic recovery look like at a place where all the trends come together at once - such as in your own company’s financials?

Bernanke Sacrifices the Dollar on the Altar to Save Stocks!
What do we have today? Interest rates that got lowered quickly and have hit bottom at a “range between 0% and 0.25%”, essentially zero percent. Think this is going to end any differently than producing another painful bubble that will pop? Of course not.

Apple won't: a) buy EA, b) buy Twitter, c) launch its own game console
Tough economic times or not, Apple is rolling in dough. It has an US$29 billion cash balance, so this has led to some crazy speculation on what Apple will do with the moolah. There's been talk -- crazy talk in my opinion -- that Apple will buy Twitter and/or Electronic Arts.

Hiring a Sales Force That Sells
It is no exaggeration to say the world has changed dramatically for salespeople. Not only has the information era radically changed the products we sell, but the sales function is subject to market forces that push up costs while eroding profit margins. The old travelling or door-to-door salesman model hardly exists anymore. Much of the sales done today is or business-to-business, and these sales teams face unprecedented change due to a number of convergent factors. In this business environment, aligning your sales team with the forces of change, and ensuring you have a team that can sell, are not simply nice-to-haves: they are essential. Realising the impact on their bottom line, forward-thinking companies have transformed their sales recruitment and training practices to address change.

If you want to learn how to eliminate stress from your life, to have better relationships with others and most of all, a greater connectedness with yourself…learning to focus on the present is a powerful technique to do so.

Underwater Mortgage Meltdown: What Caused This Mess?
Roughly a quarter of homeowners in the U.S. are dealing with an underwater mortgage, and that number is probably going to rise to as high as a third. How did this happen? Wasn't residential real estate supposed to be the one guaranteed solid business investment a family could make? Well, have you ever heard the phrase “land speculation”? Because what it comes down to is that's what our whole country has been doing for more than 15 years. Here's what happened. In the 1990s, the federal government and Congress got the brilliant idea that more people should be able to actually own their home-that home ownership was the “American Dream,” and that little things like being able to actually afford a mortgage didn't matter quite so much.
