Bulova 1875 – A Brand New Business

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

An immigrant, Joseph Bulova, came to New York and opened a jewelry store. It is said that Bulova “forged an enduring legacy of creativity and excellence, becoming an industry leader”, (Bulova Corp,) Mr. Bulova possessed a blend of old-world craftsmanship and new-world innovation. He was relentless in his quest for products that pleased the people and gave him, as well, a sense of pride.

Bulova is one of the few companies in the world to experiment with new products. They are also one of the few to use untried technologies. They are credited with not being afraid to use imaginative marketing technologies. And all this started with his first business in 1875. He actually started a marketing revolution with his first national radio spots in 1926. This commercial reminded all listeners that “At the tone it’s 8 P.M. B U L O V A. Bulova watch time”. Fifteen years later he produced the first television commercial which proclaimed that “America runs on Bulova time”. This was heard at the beginning of the Brooklyn Dodgers-Philadelphia Phillies game on July 1, 1941.

In 1916, they started making desk clocks and fine pocket watches. These items sold abundantly. They made them affordable to the masses. Until this time, only those with means could have a wrist watch and/or a pocket watch. Because of the great convenience of the wristwatch, Bulova began producing them as their primary product. Bulova concentrated on wristwatches and by the mid 1920′s the company became the world leader in wrist watch sales.

After more than 130 years, Mr. Bulova’s reputation continues in a legacy of products that addresses the changing needs of a broad spectrum of consumers all around the globe. Bulova remains committed to upholding a legacy of excellence for years to come. It is still one of the world’s most recognized brands and has an international reputation for design, style and technology.

Bad News – Why The Financial News Media Can Cost You Money!

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

By Scott Matthew Brown

The communication innovations we have around us today like the internet, financial newspapers, and special interest television channels focused on investing like CNBC are a high speed pipeline of nonsensical chatter. All these sources of information mean that there is no shortage of media people trying to answer our questions about the stock market and specific stocks. You have to remember that the news media are constantly competing to survive against other stuff you can watch. If they don’t always sound like they know exactly what is going on then you won’t watch their presentations. If you don’t tune into their show then their ratings go down. If their ratings go down they get fired and their show gets cancelled.

This means that financial journalists are in the business of finding great stories and sounding like authorities no matter what. The stock market is a great place for them to dig up news ‘scoops’ to feed to the public. They don’t really check their facts very well and sometimes not at all. This means that if some insider wants to feed you a line of bull manure then all they have to do is maintain good connections with financial journalists, sponsor an investment show, or outright buy an investing TV channel like Jack Welsh the CEO of GE did when he set up CNBC. What a great way for inside executives to control the flow of news information to the public then to actually own one of the only financial news channels…but not so great for you!

These journalists also kick up the fire by bringing in so-called ‘experts’ to talk about each side of some topic that real experts would not consider important. This just makes it all the more confusing for the public to understand what is important when buying or selling a stock. Shows on CNBC like ‘Closing Bell’, ‘Kudlow & Company’, and ‘Mad Money’ do nothing but confuse and misdirect the attention of most individual investors in the public. Even worse this means that the financial news media allows overpriced stocks to be recommended through analysts in the inside web that inside executives are dumping on the public because they are trying to get out. This actually happened at the top of the bull market in 1999. For a great historical description of what happened read Maggie Mahar’s book entitled “Bull.”

The famous Yale University Economist, Prof. Bob Shiller, Ph.D. is particularly harsh on the media in his book “Irrational Exuberance.” Dr. Shiller is one the economists that Alan Greenspan respects most and where he got the term “Irrational Exuberance.” He portrays the media as sound-bite-driven where superficial opinions are preferred over in-depth analyses. I agree whole heartedly with him and contend that it is also done just because the industry would rather have the retail investor confused and emotionally pliable to get you to buy and sell when they want with total disregard for your best interests!

People who had invested their life savings in the stock market were ripped off in the stock market because the financial news media and analysts were hyping up what a great buy stocks were at the very top of the market in 1999 and 2000. At the same time inside corporate executives were selling out everything they had. What is amazing is that our federal government in the form of the Security Exchange Commission never did a thing about it. There was never an blanket case taken or an outcry that almost all of the inside executives had somehow magically sold out of the market six months before the market crashed.

Here is the valuable tip I want you to consider in this issue of “The Wallet Doctor”: when you are a beginner investor it is important that you DO NOT WATCH THE FINANCIAL NEWS OR READ THE FINANCIAL NEWSPAPERS! Don’t let the stock market industry lead you around by the nose like livestock to the slaughter house. Don’t listen to what they want you to listen to. You should focus on learning what is important in the stock market and the mass media will only confuse you until you have educated yourself. Also, don’t forget that I show you how to focus on what is important to identify stocks that are low priced but unlikely to go lower because the insiders may be buying them up and I show you when to sell when the same insiders are likely dumping the same stocks on the public in my course “The Blue Collar Base Bonanza – What the insiders [definitely] don’t want you to know!” You can get more course information on the course website.

I wish you the great abundance in your life you deserve because of what you are and don’t forget that happiness is found only in the precious present moment!
