Intelligence greater than Leonardo Da Vinci

Posted by Thinker on Mar 6, 2009 in Thinkable

Every child born has at the instant of birth a greater potential intelligence than Leonardo Da Vinci ever used – Glenn Doman.

Parents can produce bright, gifted and competent kid in the first six years of life by using techniques of infant stimulation.

Function determines structure. The brain grows by use. Intelligence is the result of thinking and Parents are intelligent because kid uses his brain.

Early stimulation promotes neurological development.

The critical factor here is age — the first three or four years of life, during the time of maximum neurological development. boy and girl learn more, fact for fact, prior to six years of age than they learn the rest of their lives, and that the ability to take in raw facts is an inverse function of age. If parents understand the development that is or should be taking place in these first few years, they can greatly enhance and increase the chances for the kid to fulfill his desire to learn. This is the way to  bright boy and girl . Early reading is one of the best ways to capitalize on this stage and significantly increase intelligence. Learning different languages is also highly encouraged like Learn Chinese via flashcard.

The human brain grows most rapidly from conception to three years after birth, and then growth slows down till by age six it has tapered off, and it becomes difficult to affect its final level of development. It is during that growth spurt between 18 months and three years that the two functions of language acquisition (speech) and pattern perception (reading) are best developed and enhanced. After age three it becomes progressively more difficult to learn a language of learn to read with ease and fluency.. According to such leading researchers as Bruner, Kagan and Burton White, if by age three the child has not had the opportunity to develop fully his neurological functions, he has missed the boat. Using another metaphor, by age six the ball game is definitely over. From then on it requires much more radical intervention to improve the boy and girl’s mental functioning.

Brain growth and development is a dynamic and everchanging process. It may be stopped, slowed or most significantly, speeded up.

All we do is speed the process is to give boy and girl visual, auditory and tactile information with increased frequency, intensity and duration in recognition of the orderly way in which the human brain grows.

Short Selling

Posted by Thinker on Mar 6, 2009 in Thinkable

 

Short selling is the act of borrowing stock to sell with the expectation of the price dropping and the intent of buying the stock back at a cheaper price. There are substantial risks with short selling, some of which can be avoided through education on the process. 

It’s just another form of forward sales, i.e., short sellers risk getting their fingers burnt if prices don’t fall as expected, so it’s not the one-way bet some people might imagine.

Short selling is a beneficial process that allows anyone to participate in the market’s evaluation of share prices. So long as contracts are enforced, even naked short selling can be a beneficial process that allows the quickest possible adjustment in mispriced stocks. 

Short-sellers attempt to profit from an expected decline in the price of a financial instrument. Short selling is not for everyone for the simple reason that stocks generally tend to go up. During the 20th century, stocks gained 9% a year on average, although there was significant yearly variation. 

The whole short selling process is not complex, but it’s a concept that many investors have trouble understanding. In general, people think of investing as buying an asset, holding it while it appreciates in value, and then eventually selling to make a profit. Short selling is and has been an essential market stabilizing transaction. Banning it is tantamount to closing the market. 

Short selling is successfully used as a profitable investment strategy by some savvy investors, but many investors use short selling only to hedge their long positions and minimize risk of market fluctuations. Hedging is certainly a safer short selling strategy, although the potential gains are eclipsed by successful short selling speculation.
