Price -a leading indicator

I have two websites on Blogger-Workathon and Blogdaleupsome.Both do business consulting and forecasting for small businesses and "small cap" stocks.However I do not get any comments nor gmails that want to use this service.So in fact,I have almost no contact with customers;so how can I expect customers to use my service.Because I inspect the local businesses that I provide advice on and I follow the "small cap" businesses that are listed on the T.S.X(including over the counter).Companies that get advice and resources usually respond by moving up in the price of their shares.This is the best information you can get about a stock,if it is consistent.Prices that move up and down have less meaning ,of course.Prices that move usually mean investors expect an increase in future earnings.This will keep the price up and not fluctuate as much.If earnings increase then there is always the possibility that there could be a dividend in the offing.
Intrinsyc Software was one company that I spent lots of time researching and getting consulting for and finally new resources.But Intrinsyc did not respond in the way that a company that gets help should respond .Their stock is almost dormant.So now a new method must be examined.in addition,Intrinsyc got new resources but their revenue did not increase nor did it's earnings.Obviously a new method must be tried here.Icontact workathon for business advice

A few hiccups

When I first started using Google it was a breath of fresh air.I had been using Wordpress and Facebook to make my blogs.Both had so little space and I got a lot more space with Blogger.I had also used Notepad but had to transfer back to my e-mail.Not so convenient.I had pictures to augment Blogger blogs and Wordpress blogs but only a select few.I couldn't put the pictures I chose;I had to use the ones I was given.
In addition,I had the traffic problem.The number of visitors on my Gadgets page showed 116,500 whereas the number shown on my home page of my blogs were about 730 and 830 visits.Google Analytics showed about 95,000. None have increased much in the last month  although I have written blogs constantly.Google refers to my blog as being active.Also I did not have a web page ranking and sent Google e-mails.I finally got a response and Google ranked me as a 0.In comparison,Wordpress and Tumbler will not give me a web page ranking.Wordpress shows me as having a few visitors although I have more blogs with Wordpress.Finally I have a link to be used for advertising that I can use on my Blogger blogs.I have none on any other web site.

Google's just great

I started working on blogs about a year ago.The first web site I used was Wordpress.I was getting very few features at that time onWordpress (including little space for my blog).So I started reading a book on starting web sites and it stated that Blogger was the best(and well-priced)web site on the internet; it also mentioned Wordpress as being worthy of my time.Since then I have tried a few other web sites including Simplesite ( a Google website) and got ripped off for $25 and got no service at all.Blogger has indeed been the best site to work with.It's text writing equipment is as easy to work with as Microsoft Word.It has good features.
I also tried using Yahoo for text messaging and it was very unreliable for me .I turned to Google Gmail which had a few problems but easier than the others.I tried using Windows Live Mail and found it contained every message that I had ever sent on any service.It got confusing so I returned to Gmail.
I was not as lucky with Google A nalytics or Google Ad Sense.Here I found neither service responsive to my input.I tried sending a message to Mark Anastasi, a mentor of mine but I couldn't get through so he will just have to read my blog if he wants to find out about my thoughts on Google.But certainly at the first I thought Google was great.

The New Economy

Many economists,at various times, have talked about the new economy.Sometimes it talked about new production methods or new principles operating the firms in the economy or even new maximizing goals such as maximizing profit or maximizing revenues.Here the new economy talks about a division of the total economy into profit maximizers and a form of cooperative economy.It is uncertain at this time just how big the cooperative economy is.This economy has been started by the government giving away excess tax revenues that it has collected and not applied to the deficit or the debt.It has given away funds to
friends or people that think like them and will in a time of stress and criticism will defend them.These receivers of funds in effect cooperate with the government.It is not a relationship based on price nor on maximizing anything;it is based on enduring through thick and thin no matter what the cost to others outside the system.Workers in the system do not try to be pleasant to outsiders nor even be efficient nor polite.They just exist and be somewhat friendly to each other.It is not clear yet how moneys are handed out to the receivers of funds but it is probably based on the help they get or how strong they are."The strongest tree will withstand the strongest storm".
The source for this "new economy" is unused G.S.T tax money and I believe over time this money will be taken out of the hands of the government completely and given back to the people who earned it.Sadly this is not yet the case.

a day in the bank

I have trouble with every financial institution in this country.It is like I took the cherry off their sundae.Today I was in the Meridian Credit Union.I deal mostly with Cynthia and Sue.They give me help begrudgingly as they forget what it was like to get started.However today Cynthia did begrudgingly help me so Monday there will be two small notes;one may be a local note.Cynthia did try a small dirty trick so we'll see how I feel on Monday.see workathonfor business analysis and forecasting

That's odd

If all those calculations about collecting G.S.T. money and not applying it to the government debt or deficit is correct then why doesn't the Auditor General tell Canadians.The first Auditor General to be exposed to this problem was probably Denis Desauteils.I am sure he was properly trained in accounting but when he fist saw Mulroney's stash he must have redone all his ledgers and couldn't believe it.So much money unaccounted for with no  explanation by the government.He would have requested a private meeting and got it.Mulroney told him at first to keep quiet and all would be explained.But quarter after quarter the "private treasury" grew and grew.Desauteils would have found extras for himself everywhere but still no explanation of Mulroney's stash.Next it is likely that he was told about political reasons beyond his understanding and given bonuses and bonuses.When Chretien comes in it will be all cleared up.Chretien came in and did the same and the A uditor General knew he was in trouble.There would be no changes and the Mounties would bother him if he revealed this mess;he would threaten National Security.By now Denis had taken so many "freebies" that he also would be in trouble for taking extras; he could be blackmailed for taking extra money and not reporting it when he should have.When Sheila Fraser came along Denis was told to train her the right way and offer her "freebies" also.Sheila became a bookkeeper with an extra bank account in Switzerland.These facts may not be 100% accurate  but the missing money is accurate.
