What I’ve Learned: Mark Cuban
Mark Cuban Interview - Quotes from Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban - Esquire
The guy who has a $50 million golden parachute is thinking, How can I get them to fire me? That fucks up a lot of things when it comes to business.The number-one job of the hedge-fund manager is not to make sure that you can retire with a smile on your face — it’s for him to retire with a smile on his face.

The Wall Street Journal reports that at about 10:45 a.m. EDT on Monday, September 8, “a headline from the outdated report flashed across Bloomberg screens.” At which point, “algorithmic trading mechanisms, which buy and sell stocks based on news headlines and earnings data,” started selling off the United Airlines stock on the mistaken assumption that the company had just filed for bankruptcy. United’s stock plummeted over the course of the next 15 minutes until NASDAQ halted trading of the stock and United issued a statement saying that the rumors of its recent bankruptcy were greatly exaggerated. The Wall Street Journal adds that “UAL’s stock price ended Tuesday’s session at $10.60, down 2.8% on the day and nearly 13% off Monday’s open.”

Triumph of the idiots
Abstract Generator Factory: Triumph of the Idiots
Intelligent people get squeezed out of organisations, given time. For some reason the combination of intelligence and ladder-climbing almost never co-exists. Senior executives of large companies often get described as being intelligent, but this is just mistaking outward signs of achievement with intelligence. Anyone can make money in a rising market, it’s only those who seem to make a company grow when the odds are against them (e.g. Steve Jobs’ return to Apple) are worthy of praise; the rest were just fortunate to be sitting on a boat in the rising tide.
Evidence of this can be seen in the competition between any large companies, this phenomenon explains why Microsoft can never quite do what Google does. It explained why IBM could never quite catch up with Microsoft. Etc. It’s not that they became too large, or too complacent, it’s because they became too stupid. They are collectively idiots. It’ll happen to Google too, given time.
