can we conclude that it's basically become a game at this point? place your bets, manipulate where you can, and hope you sell before the other guy does?

I have a similar problem, I'm a business owner and see all kinds of new opportunities pop up all the time. In my early twenties I bounced around from new shiny idea to the next, generally seeing the process or project 80% through before jumping to the next one, I had some interesting results, but none of them were the home run.

I view that time now as a learning experiment in what just doesn't work, you need to focus to succeed. And not just 'focus' in the mental sense, but focus in the 'reduce the amount of projects' kind of focus.

That focus is goal setting; needs specific dates and measurable actions attached, not just dreams or desire.

Another resource that represented the next phase for me in my business and personal life is the book Essentialism, it's become somewhat of a productivity bible for me, the PRINCIPLES behind focus are extremely important...

Learning to say "No" to projects is tough because starting them is always more fun then finishing our current ones.

I feel like you're the kind of guy (or girl) who could explain really complex nerdy things to me on a regular basis and I'd be ok with that

I got the impression that it was a write up of the demo video, not actually hands on... It's a confusing article and there's no 'real time video or images' of anyone actually interacting with it. I'm actually quite confused as to what this is, bad PR piece - more like a mocumentary on discovery channel...

I'm confused Wire - please clarify

i'm trying to wrap my head around this, but im leaning towards engineering vegetables with high protein... or enhancing nut production.

that was my thinking... if he calls it right, he can point back to this article. If he called it wrong, no one will probably remember this post.

i remember hearing about the settlement on the radio and was like Great! At least some investors will get compensated for being scammed... then I read this:

"Couple this with the fact that the bank's share price soared six percent on news of the settlement, adding more than $12 billion in value to shareholders, and one could argue Chase actually made money from the deal. What's more, to defray the cost of this and other fines, Chase last year laid off 7,500 lower-level employees. Meanwhile, per-employee compensation for everyone else rose four percent, to $122,653. But no one made out better than Dimon. The board awarded a 74 percent raise to the man who oversaw the biggest regulatory penalty ever, upping his compensation package to about $20 million."

Just amazing

anyone who took a quick look at this and didn't read the whole thing, i highly recommend it... i felt like i was reading Game of Thrones - Car Edition. What a fantastic story I never knew about!

i can respect that, can't argue with honesty.
