Investor risk and the NASDAQ at 5000 in 2015
11/28/2013
The NASDAQ hits 5000 15 years after the 2000 tech bubble. The NASDAQ is a lot less riskier than in 2000. Much of the momentum comes from stocks with large earnings such as Apple and Google. Dividends at 1% are half that of companies in the S&P 500 compared to one tenth in 2000. Companies in the cloud sector have seen share prices increase less than other companies in the NASDAQ. The composition of the NASDAQ has also changed to include more healthcare technology companies. Risk is concentrated in startups including UBER with high valuations, and the increase in startups with over $1 billion valuation. In 2014 there were about 40 such startups, in 2015 this increased to 79.

11/28/2013
Zweig says the S&P 500 has generated average investor returns of about 5% since 2000, and the NASDAQ less than 1%, making it important that investors not overpay and get caught up in the hype.

Lynn Good of Duke Energy, on Effective Leaders
New York Times 11/23/13
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
