Goldman Sachs Rule The World...

Confession of a Wallstreet Trader admitting who really runs the world as if we don't know.. But his candor could not come at a time where people are quenching to hear things like this whether its true or not. They want to believe what they've always speculated since 2008 or the rise of a recession. But Allesio Rastani has the whole blogosphere salivating and uproaring about the condition of the economy and wallstreet's inability/arrogance to overlook their major role. He blames all this on Goldman Sachs and predicts that in 12 months millions of people's savings will vanish and how day traders are looking forward to another recession. You got to peep this for yourself....

Six Figure Salary Gap Amongst African Americans

When I read this article I was shocked that only 3.3% of African Americans earning six-figure salaries; and that much of the short fall is due to educational achievements. Which probes me to find out how much more do Africans get paid in certain professions relative to White Americans. I mean, I am under the assumption that African Americans who hold doctorate degrees particularly in the technology field should be making six-figures at the minimum. Now I am beginning to realize that African Americans holding advanced degrees are being slighted. For instance, recently this guy from Cameroon holding a PhD from Morgan State left international business machines to go to Fujitsu. The reason he left said company after contributing 4 patents was because he never received a promotion since he joined the company and had not been making six-figures to begin with (the compensation/benefits & stock options does not add-up to six-figures either). I would like to hear your opinion on this and how do you overcome being under-valued in this climate... BTW, here's the article: Six-Figure Salary Gap

King James Is Going To Ocean Drive!!!!!

Well, I predicted that Lebron would be making his next home in the windy city but these articles coming out is suggesting otherwise

We'ren't We Talking About This....... Continuation

When did Kim Kardashian become an iconic figure? I don't hear Ray J. in any of this... This Kardashian project was marketed and executed too perfect. Put out a sex tape, pretend you knew nothing about it, play victim, and use buzz to create your own show.

Why the Kardashian? and where did the Kardashian's money come from?

I have been struggling to understand the new pop-culture celebrity worship and its monetization . I would say in previous eras of celebrity worship people would give their adoration to someone because of exceptional skill (aka talent) and at the same time they admired someone because he\she gave a perception of talent, all celebrities probably used a little of both but exceptional skill seems easier to monetize than perception.

As an example James Dean had a really short career but really wasn't a great actor ( others seems to think the same thing) but the population brought into the idea that this guy was a great actor etc. after he died and apparently the perception is valuable.

However, this new era of celebrity worship seems to frequently give adoration to folks that uses the perception of exceptional skill alone.

With all that said, there is the Kardashian family, maybe Kim's tape is an exceptional talent, or is it Ray J that showed its exceptional talent (nod to RayJ).

The money: Now maybe it is my own limited understanding of the role of money and its ability to point to the truth but I think most would agree or have heard of the term "follow the money" and there are biblical references on the true intention of a man can be identified by where he places his money.

Not a perfect science but if I were to work this money = truth idea then I should be able to find the true exceptional talent of the Kardashaian family because people would be will to pay for exceptional talent.

Where are these people getting money, I am guessing that the TV channel pays them but I cannot see them getting the kind of money they seemly have or at least it cannot be the original source.

Google told me Daddy Kardashian AKA OJ's boy, was a lawyer but probably made real money when he started Movie Tunes Inc., Movie Tunes Inc. sells, the time you spend waiting for movie previews to start, to vendors to run more commercials or play music. Apparently we spend 20 minutes on average waiting on a movie to start and that time is valuable because folks are paying for that time. Movie Tunes Inc may have been purchased by Sony Music.

Google told me Kim divorced some black dude (yeah i get the madd rapper award because I am not getting out of $300k car)

anyway Kim's ex started Underdog entertainment now Underdog Entertainment bread must be long because these dudes are involved in crazy hits.

So now my nosey self knows where mom kardashian and kim got the cash, and all this celebrity tv show stuff may just be noise, but its not cause Kim pulling in $75000 per episode.
