Complexity. Change. Uncertainty. These are the “givens” in your world. Yet, one simple “rule of business” remains constant. Your organization’s ability to execute is the ultimate determinant of your success. And, when it comes to effective execution you just can't do it in a vacuum. You must create stakeholder-based innovations, strategies, systems and processes, and metrics if you want to really execute. You need to become an outerprise.What is an outerprise? Simply stated... your enterprise alone is no longer enough. Superior execution demands a new way of thinking – one that takes an “outside in” approach. We call this t

If you are long MSFT, then you make money as MSFT increases in value. If you are short MSFT, then you lose money as MSFT increases in value. That should be clear from above.

Design is a vital component of my business.It struck me the other day when I looked closely at how my business operates and appears in public. I find that nothing I do is left to happen randomly. I design, I plan and project, I piece together, stand back and look. I go back and change things around.For example: I chose a colour for my office, it was yellow, because yellow stimulates thinking. When I need to design and develop ideas I go to another room, with a wide window overlooking a mountain, with a board to capture ideas, with music and different sources of light to create varied atmospheres to stimul
To be long X means you have a positive quantity of X on your books. To be short X means you have a negative quantity of X on your books. * You become long X by buying it. You become short X by selling it. The rule to make money is, of course, to buy low and sell high. Unlike physical commodities you may actually own, there are no temporal restrictions on the order in which these take place. You can sell high FIRST, then buy low LATER.
Let’s use MSFT, the exchange symbol for Microsoft.
So if you purchase MSFT stock, you would “be long MSFT stock”. This is a “long position”. You would make money as MSFT goes up in value or lose money as MSFT goes down in value.
If you sell MSFT stock (without owning it first), you would “be short MSFT stock. This is a “short position” in MSFT. You would make money as MSFT stock goes down in value or lose money as MSFT goes up in value.
Long and Short above are used as adjectives to describe the position you carry. They can also be used as verbs, meaning to buy and sell. This is most commonly used for selling stock to achieve a short position (selling it when you have nothing on your books, thus establishing a negative balance on your books).
Usage: “I want to short MSFT stock.” You may want to do this if you think MSFT is going to sink in value over time. Then you would short (you could also say “short sell”) MSFT stock at a certain price, say $25. Hopefully it would sink in value, to say $24, at which point you would buy MSFT stock. Then you would no longer carry a balance in Microsoft stock, and you will have made $1 per share you shorted.
Verb usage of Long is less frequent, but not rare. You could say, “I got long Microsoft for $25.” That just means you paid $25 for MSFT. If MSFT is trading above $25, you’ve made money. If its trading below $25, you’ve lost money.

There are many benefits and advantages for trading currencies on the Foreign Exchange, better known as Forex.The Forex Exchange was established in 1971. This market grew at a steady rate throughout the 1970’s, but in the 1980’s Forex grew from trading $70 billion per day to over $1.5 trillion each day.There are many huge players in Forex, but it is accessible to the individual trader. Each lot traded is worth approximately $100,000. By using leverage, an individual trader is only required to have a $1000 investment in the trade. This is a 100:1 leverage. No other market offers this amount of leverage.Forex is also an extremely liq

Web analytics involves analysis of visitor behavior, in order to evaluate and improve the web channel, as well as gain customer insight. Since I started blogging, I have been reviewing my host’s weblog based analytics info and monitoring trends in traffic, most visited pages, traffic sources (referrer URLs), keywords which produce traffic (the q parameter in search engine organic traffic) and other stuff. Moreover I learned to focus on useful information (keywords, sessions, pageviews etc) while ignoring the useless (hits, files, Kbytes sent).I have recently followed the advice of Avinash Kaushik (a major thought leader on the subject of web analy

Adding your site to various web directories is perhaps the cheapest way of getting inbound links. Due to the nature of directories, the links are often of fairly good relevance. If you want your site to get listed, there are some things you should do, and even more you shouldn’t do.To get your site listed in as many directories as possible, you need to think about why they would want to list you. If you have a high quality site, chance is higher to get listed, but if your niche is popular, this might not always do the trick. Many directory owners find them selves with hundreds of submissions every day, it’s hard to keep up. When faced with piles of

Traffic building is one of the most important things you can do online, and because of that, there is a lot of erroneous information floating around online about traffic building.So what are some more of the myths about traffic building that are floating around online?The more article directories you submit to, the more traffic you will get. That may be true in the long run, but before you do it, research it good – don’t just take some gurus’ word for it. Do what works in the short term and build on that. If you cannot see measurable results today, it is unlikely you will see measurable results in 3 months. There are some exceptions – so

Now imagine there exists an Anti-Microsoft, we’ll call A-MSFT. A-MSFT’s stock price is equal to 100-MSFT. So if MSFT is trading for $25, A-MSFT trades for $75. If MSFT trades for $35, A-MSFT trades for $65. For every $1 MSFT goes up in value, A-MSFT goes down $1 in value, and vice versa. There exists an infallible, 100% correlation between the two stocks.
If I were to buy A-MSFT (be long it), I would make money as A-MSFT rises in value (still the same thing as above). Now consider this: by being long A-MSFT, I have a position that loses value when MSFT goes up in value. When MSFT goes down in value, my position makes money. Basically, its as if I’m short MSFT.
So yes, I’m long A-MSFT, and my position makes money as the product I’m long increases in value.
But I am synthetically short MSFT.
Synthetics
The marketplace is a pretty complicated place nowadays, with all sorts of things you can trade, much more than just plain vanilla stock. Most of these get their value by being tied, via some predetermined relationship, to a plain vanilla stock. Since they “derive” their value from other sources (called an “underlying instrument”), these other products are generally called derivatives.
Synthetics is a word that means a lot of things in the marketplace, but lets just imagine it to be a substitute of some sort.
In the above example, A-MSFT behaves with a negative correlation to MSFT. It is synthetically the opposite of MSFT. We can use this fact to determine a substitute for MSFT. So if I wanted to buy MSFT stock, I really have two options now:
Buy MSFT Short Sell A-MSFT The point is that I can be Long (or synthetically long) the market (MSFT) by being Short a derivative (A-MSFT). That is a confusing line for most, so hopefully if I explained it well above, it will be clear.
