You won’t agree with everything he says and you probably think how does this guy get business? Don’t worry, he knows how to make money and to be frank he could care less of what people think of him.<br />
<br />
Personal branding isn’t just a commodity, it’s a necessity. People do business with people they trust, if people don’t know you, they won’t buy from you. Period. Here is a sample on how an Influencer would distribute your business message to mass audience.<br />

<span style="color: white;">To recognize how venture capitalists are killing companies, you need to understand how venture capitalists work.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">Venture Capital firms typically have managers who we come to think of as investors because they sign the checks. The limited partners, on the other hand, are the investors in the venture capital firms themselves. Why are they called “limited”? Limited partners don’t actually invest in VC firms or start-up companies because they invest in an individual firm. Most of these limited partners are massive financial institutions who work with venture capital on a diversified investment strategy capacity.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">And once a fund is raised by investors, the money is committed for the life of the fund. Venture capitalist then takes the limited partner’s money and use it to invest in a bunch of stock. Mind you; there are strict rules on what VC funds can do with the money because they are limited partnerships.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">Here are some New York real estate predictions we see looming up ahead:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: white;">The L-Train and NYC Ferry</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">According to <a href="https://streeteasy.com/blog/2018-nyc-housing-predictions/">Grant Long, StreetEasy’s senior economist</a>, sales within the surrounding area may see decreases as buyers—especially in the Brooklyn area because of the L-Train’s scheduled shutdown in 2019. However, because the NYC Service is set to expand this 2018, it could mean new sales and development opportunities in Manhattan and the Bronx.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">The 2019 L-train shutdown means that anyone signing a 12-month lease after May will need a new commuting plan that doesn’t rely on riding through the Canarsie Tunnel to the 14th Street.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><a href="https://www.compass.com/agents/nyc/jason-saft/?_ct=6i05zzy31s0v">Jason Saft, a broker with Compass</a>, had this to say about the L-train shutdown: “Smart developers will realize instead of paying concessions and renovating to compete, they will begin to capitalize on the L train shutdown and the need for instant gratification (in the form of living near your office) and convert rental buildings to condominiums.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: white;">Attractively-Priced Luxury</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">Principal and VP of TF Cornerstone, Zoe Elghanayan, predicts that more suburbanites will make their way to areas like Downtown Brooklyn and the far West Side where heavily amenitized luxury developments that will be priced attractively.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">StreetEasy’s Grant Long also talks about how 2017 saw the supply of luxury condos surpass buyer demand, making luxury living in 2018 even more accessible to the “normal-rich” New Yorkers who can now afford these luxury condos that are now being offered at discounted prices. This includes discounted rents of high-end luxury rentals.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s a reason why you bring out the
big guns when you’re trying to close a big deal. While all your business
deals will ultimately bring value to your company, it’s those big deals
that can cause an explosive surge in your organization’s value and
enrich your portfolio.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big business
deals involve far more people than your typical sale, and you’ll need to
pull out more resources to support the various people and processes
involved. And now that you’ve shifted your mindset to think big, ask
yourself: What do I have to do to close this deal?</span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Meet Them At Their Level </b></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big
business deals mean that you’re not the only one bringing out the crème
de la crème of your organization. They are too. So beyond having
all-hands-on-deck as you scramble to prepare to present to big clients,
you need to also think about who will be in the room during the
presentation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because big deals mean a
substantial amount of money is involved, you’ll most likely be dealing
with senior leaders from their organization who will be complemented by
trusted support such as advisors and maybe even lawyers. In turn, you
should also be prepared to match their senior people with your own.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having
your own senior sales team, senior officers, and experts mean that you
want to ensure that the most productive conversation takes place that
can easily transition because all the decision-makers are already
present.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Speak Their Language</b></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It
really pays to do your homework. And it pays even more to know your
audience. It’s been said that a good salesman can sell anything, even
ice to an eskimo. What’s not mentioned in that idiomatic expression is
how the salesman most likely went to the eskimo’s turf, talked to him in
terms he could understand, and related to him on a level that made him
feel as though his needs were being looked after.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And
this is why it’s important to do some investigative work on the people
with the decision-making power. When it comes to that moment when you’re
given your moment to shine, get straight to the point and give your
prospects what they need. They want to know how they benefit from this
deal. They want to hear that you’ve done your research, know their pain
points, and can offer them solutions.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Create a Sense of Urgency</b></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your
pitch should always end with a mild threat that there’s an expiration
date on your offer. While this isn’t always exactly true, encouraging a
verdict to happen sooner rather than later is better for everyone
involved. Quantify what a delay in decision could potentially cost them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
it comes to closing big deals, perhaps the most important thing to
remember is that your prospects are motivated by self-interest but on a
much larger scale. Unlike your typical sales, big deals involve a
substantial amount and high-profile stakeholders which also means a
considerable risk.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides, and in a
lot of ways it is easier to do things on a large scale. For one thing,
it takes just as much time to close a big deal as it does to close a
small one. You will endure as much stress and aggravation; you will have
all the same headaches and problems. It is easier though to finance a
big deal. Bankers would much rather lend money for a big project than
for a small insignificant one. If you succeed with the big project, you
stand to gain a lot more money and at the same time accelerate the
building of your brand in a much more significant way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now go and make a killing.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfOAhSpV_g180riz395tXcQKar9GkYX-HkVUAuwkgM4RMDPrLwv8l3WY68Iji4os2w_K6YHO_M21JbN-Pgz8hADzdhJnfUAsG8-s4eVluFa3BU8E_vRO-IWGcoDODVebBZSzmlXigj0s/s1600/Crytocurrency.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Crytocurrency" border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="500" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfOAhSpV_g180riz395tXcQKar9GkYX-HkVUAuwkgM4RMDPrLwv8l3WY68Iji4os2w_K6YHO_M21JbN-Pgz8hADzdhJnfUAsG8-s4eVluFa3BU8E_vRO-IWGcoDODVebBZSzmlXigj0s/s400/Crytocurrency.png" title="Crytocurrency" width="400" /></a></div>
Bitcoin has practically become synonymous with the term cryptocurrency for being the largest blockchain network. And as the public struggles to wrap their minds around whether this global phenomenon is just the latest trend or the future of currency as it is now being hailed, we wonder where it is all headed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why are cryptocurrencies making so many waves? First of all, it’s anonymous and decentralized, neither controlled nor regulated by a single authority in the way that conventional currency is. To create counterfeit currency is virtually impossible, unlike conventional currency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the concept of cryptocurrency was first widely released in 2008 and Bitcoin was introduced to the public in 2009, followed by countless startups, it would take nearly a decade for cryptocurrencies to be the most-talked about subject in the financial world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While so many cryptocurrencies have gone on to fail with many of us never even learning their names, Bitcoin and Litecoin’s recent rise has gotten people talking. And because of it, other cryptocurrencies such as Ripple and Litecoin are suddenly soaring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At its record high, Bitcoin price reached above $19,700. However, when this was reported on December 17, 2017, 96% of economists that were surveyed by the Wall Street Journal the week before believed that Bitcoin’s price surge was driven because of the speculation that there would be an advancement in the blockchain’s technology which allowed secure value transfer over the internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, people like Jordan Hiscott, chief trader at Ayondo, tells Express.co.uk, “We are in an age where technology is changing the dynamic of the business world. Older, traditional organisations are seeing their long-held dominance challenged by ‘disrupter’ companies. For me, it’s no surprise that another disrupter, this time in the form of an asset or currency, is picking up speed.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, just 5 days on the 22nd of December, Fortune would report that digital markets were in turmoil with the price of bitcoin dropping dramatically to below $12,000. But by mid-morning bitcoin prices began to tick upwards again. And as of writing, bitcoin price is at $13,602.73.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is the future of cryptocurrencies? Between its meteoric rise and extreme plunges, it’s hard to tell where it’s all headed. Because market demand determines their flow, how can it be a reliable form of currency when you take into consideration just how fickle the market is?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By January 2018, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency, Ripple, has picked up speed and quickly gaining on Bitcoin thanks to their promise to proactively work with financial institutions, banks, and payment providers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse told Fox News: “We are going to keep working with the system because I think the early days of bitcoin are all about down with government and down with banks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Government isn’t going away. Banks aren’t going away. Let’s work with the system to dramatically improve the way and reduce the friction for how money moves globally.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And perhaps this is where we will see the most apparent divide amongst those who invest in cryptocurrency. Will the cryptocurrency that refuses to be controlled continue to rise because it promises freedom the big banks and government? Or will cryptocurrencies that bow down and integrate themselves into conventional systems be the cryptocurrency of choice for the masses who seek safety and security in innovative yet decidedly traditional practices?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I let you be the judge<br />

<span style="color: orange;">The Ultimate “Blackhawk Partners” Cheat Sheet for Starting and Running Your Business </span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
For all of you showing us deals to be funded, I thought of
sharing this with you in order to avoid wasting your time and ours. We analyze
over 2,000 propositions a year. Time to be focused.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is by the way a bullet FAQ we share with people looking
from us for funding – especially when starting a business or looking for us to
invest in early stage companies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many types of business. Depending on your
business, some of these won’t apply.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of these questions by the way come from entrepreneurs – the
smart and dumb ones alike- The rules are: I’m going to give no explanations. It
is as explicit as can be…. Here you go</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1) C Corp or S Corp or LLC?</b><br />
C-Corp if you ever want to take on investors or sell to another company.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2) What state should you incorporate in?</b><br />
Delaware.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3) Should founders vest?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, over a period of four years. On any change of control the vesting speeds
up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4) Should you go for venture capital money?</b><br />
First build a product, then get a customer, then get friends-and-family money
(or money from revenues which is cheapest of all) and then think about raising
money. But only then. Don’t be an amateur.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5) Should you patent your idea?</b><br />
Get customers first. Patent later. Don’t talk to lawyers until the last
possible moment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6) Should you require venture capitalists to sign NDAs?</b><br />
No. Nobody is going to steal your idea.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>7) How much equity should you give a partner?</b><br />
Divide things up into these categories: manage the company; raise the money;
had the idea; brings in the revenues; built the product (or performs the
services). Divide up in equal portions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>8) Should you have a technical co-founder if you are not
technical?</b><br />
No. If you don’t already have a technical co-founder you can always outsource
technology and not give up equity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>9) Should you barter equity for services?</b><br />
No. You get what you pay for.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>10) How do you market your app?</b><br />
Friends and then word of mouth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>11) Should you build a product?</b><br />
Maybe. But first see if, manually, your product works. Then think about
providing it as a service. Then productize the commonly used services. Too many
people do this in reverse and then fail.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>12) How much dilution is too much dilution?</b><br />
If someone wants to give you money, then take it. The old saying, 100 percent
of nothing is worth less than 1 percent of something.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>13) What if nobody seems to be buying your product?</b><br />
Then change to a service and do whatever anyone is willing to pay for using the
skills you developed while making your product.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>14) If a client wants you to hire their friend or they won’t
give you the business (e.g. like a bribe) what should you do?</b><br />
Always do the ethical thing: Hire the friend and get the client’s business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>15) What do you do when a customer rejects you in a B2B
business?</b><br />
Stay in touch once a month. Never be angry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>16) In a B2C business?</b><br />
Release fast. Add new features every week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>17) How do you get new clients?</b><br />
The best new clients are old clients. Always offer new services. Think every
day of new services to offer old clients.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b>43) Should I give stuff for free?</b>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>44) Should I blog?</b>
Yes. You must. Blog about everything going wrong in your industry. Blog personal

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>48) Should I negotiate the best terms with a VC?</b>
No. Pick the VC you like. Times are going to get tough at some point, and you

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>56) My client called at 3 a.m. Should I tell him to respect
boundaries?</b>
No. You no longer have any boundaries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<b>57) I made a mistake. Should I tell the client?</b>

Ask your customers if your doubts are trustworthy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>62) I have too much competition. What should I do?</b><br />
Competition is good. It shows you have a decent business model. Now simply
outperform them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>63) My wife/husband thinks I spend too much time on my
startup?</b><br />
Divorce or close your business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>64) Should I expand geographically as quickly as possible?</b><br />
No. Get all the business you can in your local area. Travel is too expensive
time-wise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Nothing. Charge the next client more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>66) I have an idea for an app but don’t know how to execute.
What should I do?</b><br />
Draw every screen and function. Then outsource someone to make the drawings
look like they come from a real app. Then outsource the development of the app.
Get a specific schedule. Micromanage the schedule.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>67) I want to buy a franchise in X. Is that a good idea?</b><br />
Rely on the three Ds: Death, Debt, Divorce. When someone dies, the heirs will
sell a business cheap. When someone is in debt, they will sell a business
cheap. When someone divorces, the couple usually has to sell a business cheap.
IMPORTANT: even if the trends in the industry are in your favor, you CANNOT
predict the future. But you can use the past to help you get a deal. Always get
a deal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>68) I have a lot of traffic but no revenues. What should I
do?</b><br />
Sell your business. There’s only one Google. (Well, there are two or three
Googles: Facebook, Twitter … )</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>69) I have no traffic. How do I get traffic?</b><br />
Shut down your business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>70) Should I hire a PR firm?</b><br />
No. Do guerilla marketing. Read “Newsjacking” and “Trust me I’m Lying.” PR
firms screw up from beginning to end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>71) My competition is doing better than me across every
metric. What should I do?</b><br />
Don’t be afraid to instantly shut down your business and start over if you
can’t sell it. Time is a horrible thing to waste.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>72) XYZ just sold for $100 million. Should I be valued at
that? I’m better!</b><br />
No, you should shut up and stop being stupid</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>73) Investors want to meet me and customers want to meet me.
Who do I meet if I need money?</b><br />
You should know the answer to that by now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>74) If an acquirer asks me why I want to sell, what should I
say?</b><br />
That you feel it would be easier for you to grow in the context of a bigger
company that has experienced the growing pains you are just starting to go
through. That 1+1 = 45.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are living in turbulent times. Between the aggressive globalization of neoliberalism politics, major shifts in economic power, widespread and frequent acts of terror, nation-swallowing debts, deep-rooted corruption and a slew of other processes tilting the delicate balance of the world system, people are finding it more difficult and stressful to succeed and prosper. Across western societies where strength and stability have been the rule, the foundation of the middle class is under siege as the sometimes subtle and often blatant redistribution of finances and economic opportunities are sent to either the one percent or scattered helter-skelter upon the waves of poor masses growing increasingly more vocal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the United States, we are witnessing an almost revolutionary fervor as the voices between nationalists, socialists, democrats, republicans, mainstream media, alternative media and a host of others rise, jostling to make their particular views the most recognized, creating societal ruptures. The polarization between coastal elitists, the labor force and twenty years of partisan politics has divided America. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine what the “truth” is—provided such a thing even exists any longer. The confusion of this trend has been compounded by the wide-eyed Millennials who are constantly “looking for a break” and screaming and crying like starved infants if what they expect is not immediately delivered, along with brooding Democrats of the Trump presidency era. These are the folks that need to wake up and become contributing adults to a society that is in vagrant decline. They need to become entrepreneurial, creating their own jobs and learning from this book new ways to make money in this new economy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The attacks of September 11, 2001, seemed to act like a proverbial “tick on the clock” which started this whole process into motion, signaling the beginning of the major political, financial, economic and social shifts that have grown to a nearly chaotic fervor today. President George W. Bush began the wheels turning as he mandated a perpetual War on Terror that not only appears to have no end But is actually spreading from war-torn battlefields to urban cities in countries once thought to be untouchable. The large doses of funding that Bush shoveled into the ravenous Military Complexares fed with mounting conflict management siphoning resources.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The financial collapse of 2008 served to hasten the disease of crony capitalism as banks and other financial institutes where shoveled heaping helpings of fiat currency by the Bush and Obama administrations to prevent their demise. Once again, everyday citizens suffered profusely while CEOs walked away with huge tax-payer provided bonuses and the national debt doubled to $20 trillion under the eight years of “Hope and Change” politics of Barrack Obama. Indeed, there existed a massive disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street, stirred and amplified by President Obama. Stock records have been set, but they have done so based on the fluent and intangible policies of the Federal Reserve and not on the solid foundation of real jobs and the profits they produce.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The extreme changes across the board have been quite good for the top echelon who know how to analyze trends, interpret policies and ride out storms using established connections and assets. Such circles tend to benefit from the misery of the masses whom they easily and willingly fleece from their privileged positions. This fleecing has occurred by design – creating an economic system that consists of a closed, mutually advantageous relationship between business leaders and government officials. This system is known as crony capitalism and it operates no less like a well-organized mafia. The mostly unwitting and helpless 99% have no insight into trends or policies nor have buffers to whether such turbulent storms. The everyday citizen continues to lose economic and political ground, ever spiraling into suffering, bleakness and diminished opportunity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Main Street has been conditioned to follow the lead and advice of the “Big Boys” who build, achieve and profit, and then stand as a beacon of light to show the way to others. This Warren Buffet strategy of buying stock and making money used to produce results for the masses that heeded the advice. However, the world is much different than it was before 9/11. Today, there is the never-ending War on Terror, rising International pressures and destructive social divisions among other trends, such as algorithm predictions and technology trends that have popped up and ruled the day. There is a very real need for a new method and strategy for investing. There needs to be a change from a “do what they say” mentality to one that aggressively seeks to do what they do. With all the sleight of hand tricks and deceptive speech used in the financial world today, it has become critical to economic survival that people no longer heed the words spoken by Wall Street gurus, but instead pay attention to what they are actually doing and follow their lead.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the midst of this chaos brought about by decades of Bush, Clinton and Obama's politics comes the enigma of Donald J. Trump. I believe it is the first time in the modern era that the man who now sits in the Oval Office has been and continues to be an adversary of the deep state, rather than a tool of it. He is not a part of the establishment and has made obvious moves toward fighting it. The deep state, created in 1947 during the presidency of Harry S. Truman with the creation of the National Security Act in the waning months of World War II, is a root cause of the turbulence we are seeing play out today.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What is the deep state? It is that part of the government that lies beneath the surface and never changes, regardless of which party controls the White House or Congress. Today, it has spread out and become deeply rooted in many aspects of the government, including an intelligence community that has grown into a massively powerful entity taking on a life of its own with access to a host of information about everyone. The people running these departments can use new technology and the data they mine through it to manipulate officials, including the President, policies and all branches of government minimizing the checks and balances between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Those who go off course from the acceptable agenda are denied information, embarrassed, slandered or otherwise defrocked of power and influence. Donald Trump has fallen victim to the forces of the deep state and he knows it. He also knows he has to stop it. The question is—will he be successful at stopping the deep state before they destroy him?<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The United States used to sail a clear course. If all the countries where the solar system, America used to be the sun that they all revolved around. However, its position has shifted drastically over the past two decades and America is today like all the other planets, struggling and competing for that shining place of dominance with the likes of China and Russia. The abuse of power and the divisive politics have reached a tipping point. The abuses have been hidden for so long that if America continues on its current course, the empire of the United States will not be sustainable.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Liberty and justice for all as one nation, powerful, indivisible, with opportunity for all to live the American dream is the reason why my upcoming book <b>“Capitalism from the Inside Out: How the 99% Can Build Wealth, Fight Crony Capitalism, and Restore America’s Promise”</b> was written. Readers need to understand the current trajectory that the United States is on, how it got off course the past 20 years and how it will lead to chaos and destruction if permitted to continue. A great deal of the collapse of the middle class stems from it being molded into a certain defeatist mindset. More than ever, everyday Americans need to understand how to open their eyes in order to see the world differently, recognize the new frontier of opportunities and then take that information and effectively build a wealth mindset in the post-Obama era.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This book is intended to reshape analysis to better understand the current political and economic landscape and the policies that are propelling them. Learning how to identify the viable policies that will steer the country toward financial and economic vibrancy and how to support them so that progress can be made for prosperity, opportunity, war on terror, affordable and accessible healthcare, education, urban revitalization, registered immigrants part of the system, safely in the Age of Trump. We are literally on the verge of either winning the day and taking back the sovereignty, authority and prosperity for which the U.S. has been known for decades or collapsing into a one world globalist state of ever degrading muck and mire. The time to act is now. Reframing the division between the left and the right to be unified and supporting wealth creation opportunity for all.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The 99%—those everyday citizens living and doing business on Main Street USA—are finding it difficult to hold their ground, much less make changes in an ever-changing and increasingly hostile social, political and economic environment. How can you make a difference in a world that is seemingly going mad? What can you do to ensure that the right policies are enacted and implemented? This book provides a roadmap of sorts that will allow you to effectively engage in the political process and hold President Trump accountable for achieving his populist message.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For those who want to see this nation restored to a place of greatness and for those who want to do more than simply survive these tumultuous times, the following information is both necessary and timely, outlining the pursuit of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness in today’s world. People can take the reins of their lives back and make their own decisions toward achieving prosperity and happiness, or they can continue to allow the rich and powerful to make those decisions for them. The problem is that the elite one percent have no concern for the well-being of the remaining 99% whom they just as soon leave wallowing in misery, poverty, and fear. We have been given a real chance to change the course of the nation from one of collapse and ruin to one of real hope, renewed prosperity and regained honor.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned to my upcoming book – <b>Capitalism from the Inside Out</b> – An eye opener like you have never seen before</div>

Being both an oil trader and financier and tech investor, I am frequently
asked about my general views on the oil and tech sectors at large given the
ever changing financial and political disturbances out there.<br />
Well for a start, you might think that tech is today in a bubble as a
company whose sole product is a photo sharing app in which the pictures get
deleted after they are shared just turned down $3 billion.<br />
Maybe...But the reality is that even if there is a bubble in the making
there are really no consequences. Unlike the late 90s, technology is now
established. If one company blows up, other entrepreneurs will start a new one
or join someone else. So If you really think about it, the cost of failure has
never been so low, ever.<br />
By the same token, and for the sake of argument, I don't think that the tech
and software sector is even close to eating the world.<br />

To make a long story short, I strongly believe that any war between the United States and North Korea would result in the collapse of North Korea’s government and a massive flood of refugees into China and South Korea. This is likely the reason (along with North Korea’s nuclear weapons) why the US has not toppled the North Korean government yet.<br />
<br />
In fact, it’s very likely that behind the scenes both South Korea and China have been sending North Korea subtle signals that regime change is not a desired option. This would explain why the North Korean government hasn’t collapsed considering that it doesn’t and hasn’t been meeting the needs of its people.<br />
<br />
Who would win such war?<br />
<br />
It all depends on what you mean by “winning”, the circumstances in which the conflict begins, and whether North Korea uses nukes/WMDs. If we ever engaged North Korea, I don’t see the U.S. using nukes because our conventional weapons are effective enough.<br />
<br />
First, discussing the circumstances, if North Korea attacked the South, it would take longer than if the South/U.S. attacked North Korea. The reason is that you would have to stop their offensive before moving back north, account for casualties/battle damage, etc. If the South/U.S. attacked the North, we would be able to neutralize a lot of their military power right off the bat, which would make things go much more quickly.<br />
<br />
If intelligence allows for forces to mobilize early before the conflict begins, it would be faster than if they attacked by surprise and we had to spin up logistics.<br />
If North Korea used nukes or WMDs, it would significantly complicate things both militarily and politically. It could be slower due to significant damage to our forces, or it could be much faster due to the rest of the world coming together to “take care of” North Korea.<br />
<br />
One important factor… drones. Drones can indeed make their carefully dug in positions very vulnerable, and judging by how they are building up their military, that’s a big problem for them. I think we would also easily maintain air superiority. Given that it’s a small, extremely mountainous country, it would seem to be relatively easy to use drones and air strikes to completely disrupt their supply lines. There simply aren’t that many places where rail lines or significant roads can run, especially across the river. And we have become very good at using drones, helicopters and so forth to spot units moving and take them out from a distance.<br />
<br />
I think there is a not insignificant possibility of North Korean collapse once the war goes on for any length of time. They may have many men under arms, but they cannot feed them in peacetime, much less in war. If they can’t accomplish a blitzkrieg and get at South Korea’s food supplies they will quickly run out of food. They also have very limited supplies of other things because they have been at famine levels for years. Outside of a few zones where they cooperate with the South (and maybe China) their industrial base is small and aged. They have few natural resources and even now have less ability to exploit them at the level that a modern industrial nation can.<br />

Of all the social media networks, business professionals have clearly opted for LinkedIn, arguably because it is the platform that has fulfilled their professional needs for networking. Three million CEOs on Jeff Weiner’s network have the opportunity to connect with about 500 Million other users, and in turn through those to billions of people around the world.<br />

Great leaders raise the flag of their brand high and lead their companies from the front. They build momentum with their name and recognition in their niche markets and pull the train of their company behind them. I want to help you to be one of those leaders. With my help, I promise, you will surpass your peers and go well beyond...<br />

Dear Partners, Friends and Colleagues:<br />
Happy New Year to you all…. Hope you had an awesome Holiday Season as I did. Wishing you all the very best for 2017 and beyond.<br />
With
a new year comes new investment resolutions – especially given the
nature of the game to be played with Donald J. Trump now as our new
President.<br />
To make a long story short, our basic investment
philosophy consists of investing globally with other families and
private equity groups typically targeting firms meeting the criteria
below:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some personal thoughts I thought I’d share about the US markets and economy at large in case of a <a href="http://www.blackhawkpartners.com/blog/hillary-president/">Clinton </a>or a Trump Presidential victory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day folks, it is still the “Economy” stupid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e41a2a;"> In the case of a Clinton victory:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.
I believe you should expect a platform of tougher Wall Street
enforcement. And for good reason. Some 67% of the U.S. populace wants a
president who favors stricter regulation of financial institutions…Even
Republicans to the tune of 58% said they want a candidate willing to
toughen Wall Street oversight. Looks like given the hostility of the
American people toward financial institutions, no one can get elected,
saying they’re going to side with Wall Street.</div>

I am frankly flabbergasted that with all the economic issues facing our nation today and our dire need for capital inflows to help invigorate our industries all across the board, we are giving so much hard time for Chinese foreign direct investment in the United States.<br />
<br />
It is a fact that Chinese direct investment in our economy is set to reach a new high this year due to a wave of deals announced in early 2016. But experts say the pace is already slowing as politicians and regulators increase their scrutiny of Chinese details.<br />
<br />
Some lawmakers are crying foul, protesting that U.S. firms can’t invest easily in many sectors of China’s economy, while the U.S. market is wide open for their Chinese competitors, or nearly so. Efforts to negotiate a bilateral investment treaty between the two countries have stalled as Beijing has sought to rope off numerous industries.<br />
<br />
Frankly, I believe this approach is too narrow minded and blindsided and it’s part of a troubling trend.<br />

<br />
You read it right. President elect Donald Trump broke the glass ceiling. Shattered it. An entrepreneur without political experience inspired the nation and won the greatest contest in the land. You may agree or disagree with his politics, however, please take a moment and appreciate this amazing feat that was just achieved.<br />
<br />
What this proves is that anything is possible. You may be down on your luck, you may be praying to catch a break or maybe you just need a little bit of a push. This is it. Donald Trump shattered the glass ceiling of the political class and proved, that a kid from Queens can bootstrap his way to the White House. If someone can bootstrap his or her way to the White House, you can bootstrap your way to achieve anything you want in life.<br />
<br />
Yes, Trump had money to start with and self-funded his campaign. That was his resource. To learn from it, it is important to understand what resources you have and where you are shy resources, and see how you can partner with others.<br />

These are the most dangerous markets I have ever witnessed in my entire life, and I’ve been investing for over 25 years.<br />
Global
central bank balance sheets are up from $6 trillion in 2007 to $21
trillion today and they are still being expanded at the pace of $200
billion each and every month.<br />
What’s happening is that the
robo-traders, the algorithms, the frontrunners on Wall Street and around
the world are just gaming the system, looking for the next increase in
central bank credit to take their collateral to the ECB or to the Bank
of Japan or to the Fed and buy more stocks and bonds.<br />
That’s the game we’re playing today folks.<br />
Even
a hint that it might someday end sends the entire investment community
scampering for the door; and that door is very, very narrow and can only
fit a few people through it.<br />
I am afraid when that bubble bursts,
it will wipe out every asset — everything will collapse together —
because everything is geared off of that so-called ‘risk free’ rate of
return.<br />
If your risk free rate of return has been warped down to
0% for 96 months, then everything — and I mean diamonds, sports cars,
mutual funds, municipal bonds, fixed income, REITs, collateralized loan
obligations, stocks, bonds, everything, even commodities — will collapse
in tandem along with the bond bubble burst.<br />
