That's a sweet spot for stocks. Corporations do well with that. It gives them pricing power. Their assets move up with prices. I'm not fearful of that inflation.”
“I can't stand cruel people. And if I see people doing something mean to somebody else just to make themselves feel important, it really gets me mad.”
“You canâ€™t really innovate for the past (your offering wonâ€™t be innovative and will be beaten easily by competitors). If you innovate for the future, then adoption will be slow until customers become ready. The trick is to task your insights team to provide guidance for the future present.”
