Complete video at: fora.tv “Wired” editor and author Chris Anderson explains his theory of “The Long Tail,” using the music and film industries as examples. —– You know something is up when an audience member is taking cell phone photos of the presenter’s slides for instant transmittal to a business partner. Chris Anderson does have killer slides, full of exuberant detail, defining the exact shape of the still emerging opportunity space for finding and selling formerly infindable and unsellable items of every imaginable description. The 25 million music tracks in the world. All the TV ever broadcast. Every single amateur video. All that is old, arcane, micro-niche, against-the-grain, undefinable, or remote is suddenly as accessible as the top of the pops. “The power law is the shape of our age,” Anderson asserted, showing the classic ski-jump curve of popularity – a few things sell in vast quantity, while a great many things sell in small quantity. It’s the natural product of variety, inequality, and network effect sifting, which amplifies the inequality. “Everything is measurable now,” said Anderson, comparing charts of sales over time of a hit music album with a niche album. The hit declined steeply, the niche album kept its legs. The “long tail” of innumerable tiny-sellers is populated by old hits as well as new and old niche items. That’s the time dimension. For the first time in history, archives have a business model. Old stuff is more profitable because the …
First video with a Kodak Zi8. I couldn’t get the editing software to work. 1998 Polaris xc700 snowmobile engine in a ‘79 Kaw KZ650SR frame. On this run the bike pulled to the right, and I had to let off for a second. Best run so far, 9.68 @ 132 mph in the quarter. Clutching is still a long way off.

For too long, the crimes of Wall Street bankers, CEOs, and a corrupt political system have created economic injustices that has gone unchallenged. A new civil rights movement has begun. Today, the brave citizens of New York are standing up to these atrocities, a voice of reason in an ever-failing society. Over the past few days, thousands of people have chosen to take a stand against these injustices. The 1% has abused the freedom they have been given. We are taking to the streets to show the wealthy elite that we, the 99%, are no longer going to grease the gears of this abhorrent system. The lifeblood of the country is the working class, without it our people and our economy will crumble. Those who sustain present-day colonialism are the enablers of modern-day fascism. Our government has granted hefty tax exemptions to the rich at the cost of our social services. We as taxpayers have served as the multi-billion dollar credit line to the companies and banks that continue …

There are numerous factors that affect the price of a stock. It can be hard to actually know exactly what drives the market, but there are factors that can drive a price up or down.
We know the basics. The more demand there is for a stock, the higher the price will be. Lower demand usually equals a lower price for a stock. But what drives the demand?
Let’s say that stock LKJ closes on Wednesday afternoon at 26. What will it open at on Thursday morning? There is no real way to predict the future price of a stock. Oh, there are analysts that will try, but there are no guarantees put forth on the predicted price.
What could happen between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning? Well, perhaps a major product that the company produces was pulled off the shelves due to labeling problems? Maybe the President of the company was arrested for embezzlement of company funds. Perhaps the company found a cure for the common cold. They could have finalized a deal with a major competitor for a grand merger. You can go on and on about what could happen.
There are so many factors that push a price up or down. But remember, in the end, demand still says what a buyer and seller will accept. This demand is affected by the market, politics and industry news.
Every morning on the stock market is a new day. Consider it a clean slate. Demand can be entirely different than it was yesterday. Stocks that closed really high yesterday could be dropping quickly today. The market goes up and down constantly.
Keep in mind that the price of a share is dependent on what someone is willing to pay for it. A stock might be a great buy for you at $45 per share, but a terrible buy at $68 per share. However, another investor might jump at the price of $68 per share. Who is right about the price of the share? Only time will tell. Many investors once thought Microsoft was overpriced at $10 per share. Time told that they weren’t exactly accurate about that.
Successful investors take the time to recognize what the fair price for a particular stock is. They don’t jump on cheap stocks just because they are cheap. But they don’t rush into overpaying for stocks either. They also keep their investments in check. If the stock is falling along with the sector or overall market, they might sit tight and keep their eye on a good price.
Good investors look at the company and other factors when determining price. As you invest, you will learn the strategies and techniques that will help you establish the fair price for stocks. You learn that you can either find that price or simply move on to another stock that meets your investing goals.
