The Tycoon Times
Posted: April 30, 2019 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a commentWhatever your endeavour
Remember, a revolution that won’t trigger a strong reaction
Can never bring about reformation
So pursue your passions with vigour
Captivate every listener and patiently build pillar by pillar
Never forget that every season has a frequency
Adapt, tune-in, be responsive
Anticipate unexpected developments
Forecast, focus, embrace the future
Make moves like Maurice Ashley when you maneuvre
Stash your cash, secure your assets and give to Caesar
Fill your safe with treasure but leave room for a harpoon
Because in business it’s best to stay sharp and on guard when swimming with the sharks – tycoon!
The Question of Value Investing
Posted: April 14, 2019 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a commentIn our efforts to escape the stringencies of lean purses, we sometimes take upon ourselves the task of making ‘investments’. However, in our doing so, we often make many misjudgements, which almost all the time result in painful losses.
But in a labour market that rewards expedience and recognises vigour not verity or virtue; in a global market place that tolerates not a moment of vacillation, what could be more exigent than the avoidance of vicissitudes brought on by non-viable value determinations?
Now, how are we to determine value in realms of speculation? What are we ought to consider aside from the merits of any given proposition, its problem-solution, the market size, supply and demand, market cycles and forces of timing and sentiment, risks and rates of return? What should we pay attention to outside the ambient?
Waiting on Time
Posted: April 12, 2019 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 1 Commentlet’s not self-deceive
imagining a lack of time is why we haven’t obtained certain achievements
because we cannot create extra time
but we can all certainly allocate some for personal development
and when we’ve done what it takes
and given our best
without doubt we’ll develop self-confidence
so let’s be the energy that attracts good
but let’s remember, even that too, requires giving our bodies and minds the right food
above all, let’s find the sublime in the anodyne
for there’s no such thing as waiting on time

Posted: April 5, 2019 Filed under: Inhibitions Illustrated 2 Commentsif the truth is that which cannot be refuted
and a lie makes one look foolish
may God be my witness!
let me do what’s right and make no excuses
allow me to be creative and accumulate patents
for those are the best legal contracts
and if I must invest
then let me place my bets where I can take the hurt
and for what it’s worth
I know sometimes one can’t even buy into the best
otherwise I’d have me even a single share of SEL
and wouldn’t hesitate to cut Shunpei Yamazaki a cheque
whatever his request
maybe one day, but for now
see that I play safe
____
you say I must participate in the markets
for that’s the nature of our civilization’s establishment
you advise against an obsession with price movements
and say that I should protect my data and brain matter from the unfiltered streams when connected to the web
that I must fear not blood nor bruises
but do what it takes to achieve it
as long as I’m sincere about my motives
for that’ll be my greatest show of strength
not a sign of weakness
so God be my witness
as I chase these six figures
