Focus- the future of your company depends on it
After World War I , the emphasis was on manufacturing.
After World War II, the emphasis gradually shifted to Finance.
Today the emphasis is on Marketing.
The chief executive is also the chief marketing executive.

Why Exxon wont produce more
The effect of information on the share price. Why share price will not fall?
Last year, Exxon led the industry with a return on capital of 32%
Big oil companies can continually miss their targets or even target no growth and still shine on Wall Street due to the peculiar nature of commodity businesses.
Less supply of a commodity means higher prices.
Higher oil prices mean more profits for the oil companies. Exxon shares have risen 21% in the past year—and even closed a bit higher on Mar. 5, the day of its analysts meeting.

The power of falling dollar
Affects export. Impossible to compete with price of products made in US.
After the last dollar-induced crisis in the mid-1990s, many companies set up operations in the U.S. and Asia so that shifts in currency values would tend to balance each other out—so-called natural hedging.
And the euro itself, introduced in 1999, eliminated currency risk for trade among the 15 nations who use it. Most European countries are still each others' largest trading partners.
The current financial crisis—perhaps the biggest since the Great Depression—has turned Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke into a reluctant revolutionary.
The two moves represented a new level of direct Fed involvement in the financial markets and made it clear that Bernanke would take any step needed to prevent a financial catastrophe.
two of the strongest currencies are in countries whose central banks have kept rates low: Japan and Switzerland.

The magic of thinking BIG
Use goals to help you GROW.
Without goals, we can not grow. It is like buying an airline ticket.
People these days are measured by the size of their dreams. Visualize a big future.
The standard of living we provide our families and the social and community respect we attain depends largely on our success in the work department.
