i'm jason. I love concept development in the QSR, nightlife, and gaming industries. My work deals with developing concepts. My work is my life and its tons of fun. i'm involved with an upstart company looking to rapidly expand and go public. It is a wild and fun project that consumes all my time, energy and talent, money, etc. Its a rewarding and fun project. I am so proud that in the fiscal year 2008 the firm I work with saw at the closing of books close to 1,034% increase in market value in one year. I was ecstatic and i doubt I will ever be-able to replicate that jump... but I sure as hell can try. At night I sleep in bed with the legal seal of the firm, It is my life and I am dedicated to those people who purchased equity in it and believe in my ideas. I will work like a dog and i will never let them down
my entire life i have had a propensity to be aquatinted with a hell of a lot of people. I have so many friends and know so many people and am such an out going person. I am real networker and do gooder type. I am always trying to help people solve their problems and get them to connect with others to enrich their lives. I love helping people.I truly love my life, I wake up happy and ready to attack the day. Just sometimes i find... that i am a little lonely.
For fiscal year 2009 I am focusing on a property driven, stock driven, and registered intellectual property driven increase in market value to double the firms i work with's 2008 market value level. at the rate we are growing we will see placement on an equity market in no time. I hope before i am 28.
I have very interesting ideas when it comes to business and finance. At first you may think, my ideas are out there and crazy. Get me pen, paper, and a graphing calculator; and i can prove that 95% of what is in pop culture about finance is just a bunch of bs. I love to talk finance and investments. Most of my ideas focus on how i believe the very idea of future value is bullshit because so few people can take in account the idea of real dollars. I think you have to assume your $1 will be divided yearly by 1 * consumer price index's average growth in the long run or that your $1 will be divided yearly by 1 * the average growth of the employment price index in the long run. This alters future value to be
fv = v(1*apy)^n
----------------------------
$1(1*cpi)^n < x < $1(1*epi)^n
I use 3.21% for cpi and 5% for epi.... figure that with your graphing calculator and you see how most investment plans are bs and wont really help you build any real wealth. To me its about leveraging your assets.
Another one of my ideas is the belief that there is a perfect negative correlation between the growth of Dow Jones Industrial average and the Misery Index. By assuming the theory that the misery index's ups and downs are cyclical, investment in equities becomes a no brainer. One can buy a diversified equities basket when the misery index is high and sell this basket after having seen the misery index fall to bottom and begin its cyclical rise upwards while reinvesting in funds that make money through shorts. I know some one at Schwab who uses this premise and out trades the most respected mutual funds.
I love to talk finance and am the biggest economics nerd. i wish i could find a anyone who loves to talk economics.
a lot of people on myspace and facebook like to email me their ideas about concepts or ask me if I know anyone who want to back them, or consultants i use etc. Let me say this. If your rent WITH cam is more then 10% of your projected monthly revenue, just scrap the concept and move on. And if you say that you can't get rent with cam under 10% then you're not thinking out side the box ;)
My political views lean to the right somewhat however I can not say I believe in any one party or any one group. Some of my ideas are all over the place. The only politician who came close to truly representing my beliefs was Kinky Freedman.
I've been getting into fitness lately and focusing on getting lean.
I also like commercial development. I like to talk commercial development from lots/land, funding, drafting, architecture, leasing, leases, municipal ordinances/code, cap rates, pricing, credit markets, etc.the Nightlife industry and hospitality in general also interest me; the gaming industry is something i love to learn about as well.I love QSR and love to talk about that industry.I LOVE the stock market and love to chat the market.
I read and subscribe to: Wall Street Journal, Market Watch, Fast Causal, QSR, Restaurant Business, Night Club and Bar, Details, Out, The Harvard GLBT Review, The Houston Chronicle, Houston Business Journal, Houston Clear thinkers, Conde naste: Portfolio, GFN, the Houston press, outsmart, Houston Free Press, et al.
