Being Dean Kamen

Administrator — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:08:51 +0000

by Richard T. Stuebi

For a foresightful time, I hadn’t tryed much roughly Dean Kamen. He was last in the news, a lot, in 2001 when he revealed the Segway.

You plausibly recall the Segway. Kamen was quoted in an article in Time upon the Segway’s release that it “will be to the car what the car was to the horse-and-buggy.” No less a force than Kleiner Perkins bought into the hype, working Segway one of its portfolio companies. The Segway scarcely revolutionised transportation, and Kamen faded from view (at least from my view) for quite for a while. But, as late reportage renders, Kamen distinctly gos on to conceive large, and is going increasingly seeable once again.

Kamen’s company DEKA Research and Development is nowadays covered to be working at a car bade the Revolt , a Think car changed to use a hybrid-galvanic vehicle with a Stirling (in lieu of inner combustion) engine that can theoretically be powered by well-nigh anything that cauterises.

Meantime, Kamen is covered to be hosting visitors to North Dumpling Island , an island he possesss off the coast of Connecticut, which he is turning into a showcase of how it’s possible to make a self-sufficient, zero-carbon economy.

Kamen must have enormous self-confidence, to rebound from what for sure must have been painfully discouraging — possibly even demeaning — in the Segway’s failure to accomplish its claims, to nowadays staying his neck out nonetheless over again in such divulged ways.

If we are to create existent progress on our energy and environmental challenges, peculiarly in a world whose economies are in disarray, we will require courage — some might still suppose recklessness — from many bluff thinkers and doers to have the best farseeing odds and unnerving obstacles.

Hence today, I offer up a tip of the hat to Mr. Kamen. I look up to his strength of vision. I don'’t know that I’d necessarily invest my ever-dwindling personal capital in his ventures, but I hope for his sake and for the planet’s that he’s onto something more substantial this time than he was with the Segway seven years ago.

We Don’t Require an Uptick Rule

Administrator — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 11:31:47 +0000

This is a unproblematic issue.

It applyed to be that you couldn’t inadequate a stock unless there was an uptick. The idea was that this uptick rule would keep inadequate sellers from piling on a stock and laboring the price down. So the uptick rule was removed. It got permissable to take up shares of stock and trade them whether or not the stock had clicked up or not. The result ? Nothing. Not a darn thing modifyed.

Well companies operated on their companies good. They recognised that little sellers just now made succeeding demand for their stocks. If they forced the price down to young lows, it exactly produced an opportunity for investors to purchase the company at inexpensive prices. Hence be it. Dear companies aren’t defined by their stock prices, they are defined by their operations.

On the flipside are badly handled companies. Badly carryed off companies ever take for granted the current business environment will abide the way it is. The heavy investment banks opined they could ever lift capital and deploy it at higher returns. Which is a swell model to pry up to mash every potential nickel out. It forms it well-heeled to catch your bonus and constitutes shareholders who but devote attention to the stock price well-chosen.

Except that leverage is risk. E’er has been, e’er will be. When you dont handle your risk easily, you give the consequences.

The problem with the likes of Lehmans, Bear Stearns et al, wasn’t that their stock prices were forced down, it was that they had suited unforesightful and excessively leveraged. They had not debated all potential negatively charged scenarios. When they were thrust to compose down assets and couldnt take access to loans because no one commited their balance sheets, they were without capital. When they were without capital, they were SOL. Deleveraging fetched their intact business models going down down on with their stock prices. Lehman went away, the rest produced government bailouts or were born on to be corrupted out.

If they had not o’er leveraged, the price of their stock would not have weighed. If they had dealt their risks the right way, their stock price would not have counted. The uptick rule had nothing to do with their failures. Management did. To fault it on the uptick rule is nonsensical. Companies that hadn’t overlevered and stuck by their loaning and business principles caught on just o.k.. Their stock prices did simply o.k. as good. It truly as elementary as that.

Does anyone truly intend that yet if there was an uptick rule and stock prices were not as explosive and still mayhap higher, that anyone would have yielded Lehman’s capital in a individual raise with all the uncertainty about their balance sheet ?

Place another way, if the uptick rule pushed down prices, it should have been EASIER for the fiscal companies to conjure money. Impudent investors would have recognized the strength of their balance sheets and fain jumped at the chance to place money at prices depressed by those awful poor sellers capitalizing on the lack of an uptick rule.

That’s not what befell. What fell out is precisely what should have come about. Well companies did good. Badly head for the hills companies didn’t. Those in the middle got prosperous and bailed out. The uptick had zero impact.

Thats not to suppose inadequate sellers didn’t pick on the fiscal companies. Of course they did. They did indeed because they were ill handled. They were right

When you listen someone talk of geting backward the uptick rule as a solution. Laugh. So assure them “Larry Bird is not waking through that door”.

Administrator — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:34:06 +0000

It was of late denoted that the Java Module System(JSR-277) would be put on hold until after Java SE 7. This has further implications on Java’s modularity future and other developments like OSGi(JSR-291) and the super-packages spec(JSR-294). This post by Neil Bartlett tots up up the ramifications of these changes and what Sun will at present ring project Jigsaw.
