Om Hjørnet

I bloggen min skriver jeg om det som faller meg inn der og da. Derfor har den ingen rød trÃ¥d eller samlende tema, med den konsekvens at kategorien Diverse ganske stor. Bloggen min inneholder meninger, anekdoter fra dagliglivet, konspirasjoner, anvendt finans, filosofering, dikt jeg har skrevet og mye mer. Den dagen det bare er tørt […]

Informasjon

“I know of no more valuable commodity than information” Dette er Gekko pÃ¥ sitt beste og mest sannferdige. Det er helt sikkert at det ikke finnes noe mer verdifullt for Ã¥ tjene penger, enn informasjon. Om du vet noe ikke andre vet, sÃ¥ har du en stor fordel. Og Gordon Gekko holder seg selvsagt ikke […]

Nullsum-spillet

Bud Fox: How much is enough? Gordon Gekko: It’s not a question of enough, pal. It’s a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody looses. Money itself isn’t lost or gained, its simply transferred from one perception to another. Dette lærte jeg pÃ¥ BI. Det den ene tjener, taper den andre. Slik er livets hÃ¥rde realiteter. […]

Nå får vi verdens beste værmeldinger

Nå får vi verdens beste værmeldinger

leser jeg i Dagbladet. En ny satelitt skal skytes opp, MetOp A heter den, og er verdens mest avanserte vær- og klimasatelitt. 14 ganger i døgnet vil MetOp passere Nordpolen (og det er jo der vi bor!) og fÃ¥ med seg værsituasjonen over Norge. Alt i alt skal dette bidra til mye sikrere værmelding. Denne […]

Greed is good

Gekko holdt en flammende tale til generalforsamlingen i Teldar Paper. Han ville ha aksjene deres, for sÃ¥ Ã¥ brekke opp selskapet i smÃ¥biter og tjene masse penger. Og de solgte selvsagt. Til en alt for lav pris. “I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and […]

Gordon Gekko og filmen Wall Street

Dette er filmen alle finansfolk henter sitater fra, mens vi humrer djevelsk oss i mellom. Vi er de eneste som egentlig skjønner Gordon Gekko. Alle andre bare grøsser av ham. Vi synes han er tøffere enn toget. Filmen kom i 1987, i siste del av den vidunderlige jappetiden da vi drakk magnumflasker med champagne pÃ¥ […]

The Norwegian – a study in niche-choices

I have often asked myself what in the world went through the head of those members of the European Homo Sapiens species that, for about 10.000 ago, followed the ice as it withdrew north. Europe had been underneath ice for tens of thousands of years, and you would think there was no reason to follow […]

Finance applied to dating (2) – Options

A friend of mine, who is online, got a proposition from a man, who said he thought she was pretty (entirely true), but who then said she could not offer him what he needed. That proved to be totally true as well. She discovered this when checking what chatgroups he was in: BDSM, Dominance/submission, Bondage, […]

In analysing the concept of dating it can, as in many other areas, be useful to apply the excellent concepts of Corporate Finance. Because what is dating but transactions in a market?
