I thought I might post on how I invest. Its not rocket science but there seems to be some confusion around how I outperform the market. Grab a tequila or a store bought coffee (anyone that makes their coffee at home stop reading now) please enjoy or laugh as the mood takes you 👇

As I say this is not rocket science. Basically I am only looking to buy and then sell in the early growth stage of a new business. In simple terms I'm looking to buy as early in the growth stage as possible & sell as late as possible before sales and profit slow.
So how do I find these stocks? The best place to start is to read all 4C reports as they come out & keep records of new companies where revenues increase significantly from the previous quarter. You need to be careful at this point because companies earnings can be seasonal..
I tend to avoid companies who claim seasonality is hitting their revenues. I take this path as I believe if a company's product is really being embraced by consumers in the early months the exponential growth should swamp any seasonal effects. As the company matures...
this may well be a valid reason but keep in mind I am ONLY looking for the early stage growth... So why do I invest in this manner? Firstly because I found that I am good at understanding new products and markets but mostly I choose to invest...
only in the early growth stage because this is where the big increases in price comes in the shortest period of time. My research shows it is also a pattern that is repeated time and again by new companies under all market conditions. Of course just because the pattern repeats..
doesn't mean that investing in the manner i do doesn't have its risks. The main problem with being an early growth stage investor is MANAGEMENT! Once a company starts growing at a rapid rate it really depends on the quality of the management if they can control..
the runaway train. Overwhelming demand has caused many companies 2 fail when they are unable to ramp up to meet demand or product quality declines to the ruin of the company's reputation. Also with rapid success comes the temptation of greed and delusions of grandeur..
within the management team, along with infighting and blame games when growth targets are not met. These pressures can also result in management misleading the market into believing that targets have been met, hoping they will be made up in the next quarter.
I could go on but I am sure you will recognize these problems in many small ASX companies. So while the rewards are high so are the risks. So high that most of the companies I invest in at the early growth stage will fail to live up to their potential ..
From my records early growth lasts from 12-18 months after that time I will have mostly sold & moved onto a new growth story. Occasionally you will come across a great company such as afterpay which captures a worldwide market & continues to grow at high rates & the ride lasts...
longer but these companies are rare. As such it is important that I need to be on top of everything happening within the company along with its chosen market so I recognise any problems before the market does and I am able to exit before other holders do..
Occasionally I am blindsided by bad news and as such I factor in a percentage of my holdings going to zero. While this is a rare event it does happen. This is why I need to ensure I capture the upside when everything goes right and the share price movement is on my side. The End

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!

Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z

🧵👇(1 / 12)


Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (
https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

2/9

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.
