An idea a day:
94. Setup a website like SocialPicks, but only for finanical actors, as an online platform for their portfolio.
They are already making noises in the media, like newspapers, TVs, so why bother to do so much thing?

Easy. Results speak louder than words, if they could have a $$-generating portfolio, everyone will worship him like a god, no matter how small the potatao is. Remember Ivan? How can he be famous? Of course, the results speak!

You could fool some people some days, but never all people all days. The finanical actors who could win and survive the game could prove that they are the real guru in the market, their advice is treasured by $$ seeking investors, thus popularity flies.

Comments:

the bar code. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code

in japan or UPS, this 2D bar code was used many year ago. the disadvantage is no standard in industry, every company has there own format.

however, since it is an passive, static code. RFID is better. and HP gonna to made a super thin and flexible, paper like RFID. i have saw a demo, a HP pocket PC, with RFID scanner, place on a textbook, and the pocket PC play a movie.

i think this is the future direction. RFID + wireless Internet = future shopping style.

imagine that when you are window shopping, or find some interesting posters. you like the product, than you take your RFID scanner (already installed in your phone.) DU. than you can see more about the product info, and buy it. the potential product can be anything, from CD, to a ticket of Madonna!!

for the idea today, SocialPicks.

i really wonder. for a market quite rely on information, like financial market, can we build a website to test who is guru??

but for information inactive market, like cell phone, restaurant. it is fine.

may be you are right, only show their portfolio, no advise, nothing more. however, you know, it is a minority game, if ppl know that someone is making big money, then everyone follow his/her portfolio. Wo, you know what will happen.

the real market is complicate as you can see. high information sensity + minority game = keep everything in secret!

if you really realized this idea, no good portfolio will show up, coz no professioner will show their protfolio.

i really what to see someone who make the web, to check my point of view.

Of course, for people who are making real $$ will not tell you their secret, like those fund manager will only tell their expensive customer, rather than tell all to the market.

But what do you think about those finanical actors in HK? Do you think they can really get those insider information? Of course not.

The point here is that, if those actors need popularity, but popularity based on facts.

Nowadays, all actors are always telling bullshit to the crowd, saying something that do no show their stand, you are prove it right on both side of his arguement.

If they could open the portoilo and show to other they could really make the $$$$, then popularity must goes up.
