Locks & Bagels
One of my favorite security stories concerns a bagel manufacturer in a southern city that doesn't need to be named (yes, there are bagels made - and eaten - in the south). This was a small-scale manufacturer who began as simply a local baker and gradually began selling his bagels, pies, and other baked goods to specialty grocers.At first he had a fairly standard industrial refrigerator in which to keep his dough chilled. Later, as his business expanded, he built a new facility for more large-scale production, and included in the design a well insulated cold-room, wh

understand the concept of time decay.
A time spread is designed to take advantage of the fact that an
option’s decay curve is non-linear; that is, an option’s value
does not decay evenly over time. As an option gets closer to
expiration, its rate of decay increases meaning the option loses
value more quickly. That decay rate increases progressively day
after day until expiration.
An option’s decay rate begins to accelerate when the option is
about 45 days out. It picks up steam at 30 days out and really
comes under decay pressure at about 15 days out. This scenario
can be likened to a boulder rolling down from the top of a hill.
As it starts, it rolls slowly and then gains more and more speed
and momentum the further it gets down the hill until it achieves
its maximum speed at the bottom.

How To Manage Poor Performing Salespeople
Taking swift corrective action with poor sales performers is the key to any sales manager’s responsibilities. Nowhere is it more important than in sales to quickly take action when a sales person is not hitting their revenue targets. Management’s job is to diagnose and detect the underlying reasons for a sales person not performing and to engage in corrective action in order to correct the behavior, the activity or the results as necessary. Often times, sales managers are too slow to recognize when a sales performance issue is coming to light and waits and hopes that a sal

Internet Marketing: A Reflection after One Year in the Business
As autumn and cold crawl their way into Canada and the sun sets before 4 p.m., this darkness and quietness bring along a time of reflection for all of us.

Online Shopping
Online shopping is on the increase and many "brick and mortar shops" are now opening online stores to meet this trend.In 2004, the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts produced a report showing that "the number of Australians (aged 14 years and over) that use online shopping and bill payment services grew from 3.5 million in September 2001 to 6.3 million in April 2005".Whilst online shopping is on the increase, many people are still hesitant about taking the plunge.

Option decay acts the same way- gathering speed and momentum as
the option approaches expiration. In time spreads, both options
have the same strike price that remains constant.
However, each option’s value decays at different rates and over
different lengths of time. The option with one month until
expiration experiences value decay at a faster rate than the
value of an option that has three months until expiration.
If you buy an option with three months to go and sell an option
with the same strike but with one month to go you have set up a
spread between the two options values (prices). As time passes,
your short option loses value more quickly than your long option
that decays more slowly. The value of the spread widens and you
profit from that spread’s expansion. This is the fundamental
behavior of the time-spread.
