Four at Four: Letting the Apple Ripen

While the Standard & Poor’s 500, for the most part, was flat, investors expressed their concern about the infallability of the major technology companies with a hefty bout of selling in the Nasdaq Composite Index. The 1.3% decline — and a 1.6% decline in the Nasdaq-100 — comes in advance of A…

Which Video Sites, Categories Get the Most Average Views?

For our latest study here at TubeMogul, we took a sample of 200,000 videos deployed by us and compared average views across video sites and categories.

The results? In comparing sites, the data is unequivocal: YouTube consistently gets more average views per video than any other site, regardless of category. Since YouTube pits the largest catalogue of content against the largest audience, this result was far from certain (and surprising to us). It’s worth noting that while YouTube dominates the averages, a video producer could still almost double their audience by distributing to additional video sites.

Monitor110: A Post Mortem

Turning Failure into Learning

Writing a post mortem is hard, particularly when the result is failure: a failed deal; a failed investment; a failed concept. That said, without a post mortem, without deep reflection, honesty and introspection, how can we get better and do better the next time? Quite simply, we can’t. My involvement with Monitor110, as an investor, Board member and leader, was one of the most interesting and informative experiences of my life. I learned about areas I never dreamed of. I worked with a terrific group of young, exceptionally bright people who believed in the vision. Ultimately, we failed. But why did we fail, and what could we have done differently?  Some of the stuff is pure 20:20 hindsight. These observations aren’t worth much. But the interpersonal dynamics, the issues of organizational structure, the need to change strategy in light of new information, the relationship with key investors, all of these are very instructive. I will endeavor to be as honest and candid as possible.

ECB’s Draghi: Credibility Is Key

The European Central Bank raised its key rate last month to keep its credibility intact, ECB Governing Council member Mario Draghi said Friday, urging policymakers globally to preserve and bolster their own credibility amid “the seriously worsening risk of inflation” — and signaling that the ECB may yet be willing to follow its continuing exhortations about rising inflation with action.

Wages, Unemployment, and Inflation

Ludwig von Mises wrote, “There is only one way that leads to an improvement of the standard of living for the wage-earning masses, viz., the increase in the amount of capital invested. All other methods, however popular they may be, are not only futile, but are actually detrimental to the well-being of those they allegedly want to benefit. … Public opinion believes that the improvement in the conditions of the wage earners is an achievement of the unions and of various legislative measures. … As long as these fallacies prevail upon the minds of the voters, it is vain to expect a resolute departure from the policies that are mistakenly called progressive.” F…

Fashion Meets Finance

As it turns out, the bear market and the collapse of the financial was totally predicted by Angelina Jolie’s skirts.

Fashion is always a mirror of society. Thus, in a strange forecast of what the Federal Reserve discovered in the banking system, overexposure and total transparency in the wardrobe has been followed by complex cover-ups and a downward spiral. Fashion designers now seem clairvoyant.
