It is difficult to break the long intended silence as a geek superhero. I almost want to take a superman break to explore my planet.
It takes me weeks to decide when to write again. I figure out there is no perfect time to write. This is the time. The world is watching.
I knew about the chance of flu related epidemic a few months ago. Feng Shui Master warned about the possible flu related epidemic and food poisoning would hit US this year. It arrives in US officially.
Our President Obama and I have a few things in common. I’ll share this one. Perhaps both of us have watched the movie “Back to the Future”. Mr. Obama becomes Mr. President against all odds. Everything about the future is about to begin from here.
Before I continue to share, I need to make a deal with hedge fund traders and investors around the world.
DEAL:
Stop shorting US stocks based on this blog
OR
Allow Yahoo stock to recover in the healthy price range of $15-$20
Last time I ask the community not to beat up Yahoo randomly. Yahoo is getting very close to the target price $15. Yahoo! Developer Network (YDN) has contributed to the web community for years in the background from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. This is a company contributing and share significant amount of their research and learning to make the web better. In the most recent OAuth API incident on Twitter, once again, Yahoo! demonstrates its leadership pouring their resources to fix it without asking any return. When Yahoo can overcome its way to $20-$25 price range, it will ease up the Silicon Valley. Yahoo is more likely to acquire startups.
I would need our White House to spend less money on Antitrust and more on IPO policy. Our past policies for Silicon Valley are too focus on Punishment. Punish the big companies when it gets big. Punish the startups when it gets closer to IPO. How can we innovate and fuel the economy in this kind of punishment culture?
I would need our Government and Congress to look forward, not backward. Forward back to the Future, NOT backward back to the Past. We simply can’t afford it as a nation. There will be a lot more bigger things coming.
Our toilet in Silicon Valley is broken. It requires to unplug and flush the toilet before the cash flow back to the market. The last Administration did something causing the IPO plumbing to a halt. Big companies and startups are squeezing every penny with massive layoffs as VCs and angels are stuck with the broken toilet. We are losing future assets on human intelligence and technology advancement in Silicon Valley. Change the policy today. Allow as many startups to pre-qualify for IPO. Pair startups with experience executive advisors from public companies and coach them on business models during the pre-qualification period. Allow qualified startups to IPO when all the signals are strong and it is ready for market. Companies like Skype, AOL, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc must graduate from startup status.
Is it in our best interests to force our public to invest in old companies? Railroad is replaced by automobiles. If we force our public to invest only in Railroad, our automobile industry will never take off as well as our stock market. Perhaps many are waiting to invest in the next economy.
When the toilet is fixed, the massive layoff will slow down and hiring will slowly come back. Startups will be the ones lead the hiring, spending and expanding. Big companies will have to follow to stay competitive.
May be our government should consider stop printing money tree and start growing money tree. Go for modern light rail system across the country. Invest back to the future. It will bring new business along the entire rail system. Our old big automobile are designed for big American family.
Consider building mobile app for government instead of building new server infrastructure. It saves bandwidth, maintenance, energy, security on servers and consumer computer’s energy, on web contents that don’t change any often. Allows States and Counties to roll out their mobile apps. Provides both free and paid app. Paid apps that save administration in the long run and also bring revenues to the States and local districts.
Netbook is not the Future. Star Trek “PADD” (Personal Access Display Device), a hand-held computer interface with touch screen device is the Future.
I’ll explain and describe what must happen for Back to the Future. I’ll be watching the stock market to see if traders and investors around the world are keeping the deal.
Save the Future Save the World!
Note: If Goggle stock plunges, it is not related to me. I have nothing to do with this.
