The Pink Sheets Guy
Times change. No one can predict the future. Who would have thought that a good old boy from Texas would have ended up living in Las Vegas and working for a young man from New York who people refer to as the "Pink Sheets Guy?" It was after meeting the Pink Sheets Guy that I started to understand why the future was going to belong to a new breed of entrepreneur; the digital symbol manipulator. The last century proved that while the traditional standard of wealth, land holdings, will never vanish, new wealth generators were evolving along with advances in technology. Oil, manufacturing, media, pharmaceuticals, the list of new wealth generators rapidly expanded. Twenty years before the start of the new century, the creation of the personal computer ushered in the information age. The age of the digital symbol manipulator. The age of online trading, the age of Pink Sheets stocks and traders who focused on Pink Sheets stocks.
While the PC issued in the information age, it was the Internet with its lightening access to information that allowed for the rise of individuals who could generate wealth merely by being able to interpret digital symbols - also read as understand information or data - act upon it - also read as manipulate - and profit from it. The best examples of this formula are individuals who trade stocks on-line using information they have gathered on-line to make decisions as to when they want to buy and trade. The best personal example I know of in reference to this new bread of entrepreneurs is my colleague and friend, Richard Bond.
I as wrote earlier, no one can predict the future, I certainly couldn't, and who knows, if I knew in advance that I would be taking orders from a guy twelve years younger then me, a guy who wears me out with his energy, maybe I would have tried to choose another path in life. Maybe I might have chosen a different path, and maybe I would have been a lot less happier for it.
Richard is what I consider to be the quintessential digital symbol manipulator. I don't mean this by way of insult; I mean that he is a testament to what my collage professor had said. Richard moved to Las Vegas in 2002 after driving from New York in a broken down old Dodge Dart with two suitcases that contained everything he owned in the world. He was looking for a way to rebuild his life. He had studied for a year at Albany University's School of Business, but couldn't afford to continue his education and had taken a low wage job at New York brokerage firm. He was in a rut until he got dumped by girl (wonder if he remembers her name, I don't) and decided to make a big life change.
When he first arrived in Vegas he lived out of his car until he had made enough money waiting tables to pay the rent on a one bedroom apartment. It was out of that dingy little place that he started Richard Bond & Associates in 2004, buying and selling Pink Sheets stocks over the Internet. At the end of 2004 he started to take on partners. I met him at a Las Vegas convention centre during a trade show and was impressed with his energy and knowledgeable, enough so that I gambled by taking a job with him. A decision I have never regretted, expect once maybe. By 2005's year end, Richard had made himself wealthy many times over, and had made his partners very comfortable. He had established himself as one of the new bread of digital symbol manipulator entrepreneurs.
Last year he wrote a book explaining Pink Sheets stocks and I have to admit that:
"The Pink Sheets: the ultimate guide to making money with Pink Sheets stocks" exemplifies my professor's prediction. Those that can learn to understand the images and data of the information stand to become wealthy and comfortable, those that cannot or will not learn, are doomed to flip burgers.
