Re: Rumor Has It! - goodness a spammmer! Thanks for the post GT, Balance can be and is allusive when you are a struggling Entrepreneur Time management and balance can go out the door when your computer(s) and equipment fail, loss of vital services (online loss of the internet or ISP), weather problems, or problems with suppliers, vendors and even a problem customer, Add to that the mother-in-law problem "why do you get a real job" or loss of support from your spouse, family and friends
Re: Help needed in starting a company in Patent Analysis - It is well worth while running the question about the software tool by a lawyer - particularly since the existing company is going to be harmed several fold - i.e. loss of staff, loss of customers and perhaps loss of unique rights to the tool. My gut reaction would be to name a spokesperson to speak to the senior manager about the issues - without mentioning any threats of leaving, names of your future partners, competing or use of common tools. For sure you will run into them later so it makes sense to attempt to resolve differences now and only when it becomes impossible to do so or the opportunity to create a new firm becomes so attractive that you actually do leave. I don't envy you .... Terry
Re: Hot Stock Tip! - So if $10.86 is the highest the Freddie Mac shares went, your stop loss (cut and run) price (at 25% down from the high) is $8.14 (if my sums are right) so you're position is no longer exposed - provided you stick to the system and don't get emotional, oh, and are also able to execute quick sale as soon as your share price hits the stop loss figure!!! GOOD LUCK!!
Re: What do think you about these statisitcs? - I think those stats are very concerning. Billions of dollars in wasted man hours. You can bet corporate America and frankly international corps are all working on solving this problem. Wasted productivity is no different than wasted/stolen product at the retail level. A few percentage points one direction or another can mean the difference between profit and loss for many companies. If I were the CEO of a large corp, I'd have a team at work blocking Facebook and other social sites from all company computers, as well as unauthorized email accounts etc. Cheers, Zac
