香港与台湾：民主花开并蒂
========================
民主社会所需条件：
1。公民素质
2。法治文化
3。中产阶级
4。言论自由
5。政党政治
6。司法独立

台湾缺少2，6。香港相对较齐全。[中国好像全部都缺，不过都在进步，而且速度有目共睹]

毕竟台港两地的发展经验，无论是正是负，都是大陆未来发展宝贵的参考。

索忍尼辛曾说，苏联没有中国幸运，在改革开放初期拥有香港与台湾，为改革发展持续注入资金。

大陆台商面临转型关卡
====================
事实上，对想要在大陆设立研发中心的外商来说，招募人才并不困难。但是招募完毕后，如何作适当的管理以及调配资源却是一门学问。

大陆并不是一个市场，而是由很多小市场组合而成，二、三级城市的需求和一级城市大不相同。必须把市场细分化，了解每一个市场的区隔性。

[在一个狭小的领域把所有错误都犯一遍，你就是那个领域的专家，关键是明知道要犯错误都去做]

创造一种意义，造一句格言，着手进行，想出赚钱的方法，织一张“垫子”（阶段性目标）。

How not to forecast price hikes
===============================
The study sends an important warning about blindlyfollowing rules of thumb that worked in the past. Because the link between inflation expectations and actual inflation was so strong in the 1980s, investors and economists have become used to relying on it to forecast inflation.
[the figures of corelation in econ sometime just BS, the chaos theory plays an very important role out there]

Stock options: old game, new tricks
===================================
Options for more volatile stocks are worth more because of the greater chance that recipients will exercise them when prices bounce up. Many companies have reduced their voltility estimates, apparently to whittle down options costs…
