最近大家都在讨论我们是不是处在泡沫中。来看看上个世纪泡沫中发了财的人:NBA小牛队的老板Mark Cuban。他确实很有眼光,懂得吸引眼球。当年他运作broadcast.com,快速上市,快速以$57亿卖给yahoo,在泡沫破灭前套现,然后想买什么就能买什么了,比如小牛队。
Mark Cuban understood the game right from the beginning. Create a brand, be at the forefront of technology (but not too far ahead (no electric cars for him) ) get as many press releases going as possible, sell as fast as you can. He knew, probably five years in advance, that a bubble was occurring and this was the exact plan to maximize value from it.
