A Well-Timed Ad
Yesterday, at work, I got an ad from IBM that said
Today’s business requires actionable insights.
Today, Slashdot is reporting that IBM and Intel executives have been arrested for insider trading.
I guess the actionable insight they had was “if we use information about the company that the public doesn’t have, we can make a killing on the stock market!”
May I also suggest “If someone orders something from you, and you take their money but don’t ship the product, you can reduce your operating costs” and “You can make a ton of money just by pointing a gun at people and taking their wallets.” No, don’t thank me. The thought of you enjoying some quality time with your cellmate Bubba is all the thanks I need.
