Something Serious: Halle Berry at the NAACP Awards


Here Halle Berry goes looking flawless again at 42nd Annual NAACP Awards in LA last night….. That dress is something SERIOUS!

Consistent Elevation....



I used to have a problem with society
Especially when I was trying to eat
until I woke up one day and realized the problem was me
So I've gotta get more with no apologies
Because that is what I live for to escape from poverty
And I can't go to prison..My 1st priority
because who's going to spread the wisdom in community authority
And activism and leadership amongst our people
Each one teach one to eliminate evils! (2009)

Investing 101: Sector Trends (pt 5)


I know I still owe you guys a pt 4 of my Investing 101 series on 'Performance Metrics' but since I haven't been investing any new money in a while I kinda forgot about it altogether but when I seen this Edelman’s 11th annual Trust Barometer survey showing the tech industry is a clear 10 percent ahead of the rest of the corporate world in terms of trust it got me to wake back up.
The results come from the polling of 5,075 “informed” members of the public from 23 nations, so that means that the entire world is in on this and the poll is not just expressing an american sentiment.
Nonetheless...the main point here is that when investing, the electricity of a particular sector can generate just as much if not more revenue growth than the products or business stories that you are aware of themselves. Often there are many company stocks that have tremendous run-ups while their overall sector often lags behind so it is important to remember that in these cases these are individual stories rather overall market ones.

How do whole sectors improve you ask? Well honestly the same way sectors simultaneously go down...in this case the knowledge of current events and situational awareness of whats going on is everything. In retail, during the holiday season is obvious, during wars defense spending goes up, when the economy is flourishing home ownership, governmental regulation, etc. However to take the ultimate advantage of this and to get ahead of the power curve you've just got to be able to anticipate the "next thing" or identify the trend for whats coming up next so you can buy the stocks low and sell high. So it is construction in China? mobile and wireless technology? health care reform?...well you tell me but ultimately the key is to stay on the grind, do ya homework, and invest in stories that you believe in...think about it..technology makes sense doesn't it?

I hate to say it but the reality of this kind of struck me a couple of days ago when I attended the first day of a professional training program anticipating to interact and exchange information with other professionals in my field only to realize while conducting personal introductions that everyone in attendance with the exception of myself and 3 other people had been downsized and who are out of work do to the recession....it's real out here kid!

Tattoo Locations Defined....


True! It's kinda sad to see all these young kids nowadays getting tattoo's just to keep up and follow a trend....here the OG's with tats are trying to get rid of em and yet these kids nowadays are saving up their lunch money just to get one.

Some things simply amaze me: It's funny how some people are influence by lets say a Riky Rozay or Wiz K who are only making records rather than lets say a Bill Gates who's changing the world!
