Hurry is a hallmark of success in business. A private jet is physical evidence of profits. What good are you if you have to wait for a scheduled commercial flight when you have to be at your destination right now? Few stock market players have patience beyond 100 days. Every quarter has to produce record results. Oblivion awaits deliberation.
The tortoise is not extinct no matter how hard the hares may run. Some of the most productive and enduring investments have long gestation periods. Small-capital technology stocks have faltered at our costs, simply because of unreal time horizons in mind. A change of perspective can help to pick the real winners in the world of business.
It is appropriate for North America to lead this change. It is not just the sole superpower mirage. This is a continent inhabited by people whose ancestors sacrificed for the benefits of unborn generations. Business has to be conducted with more than a lifetime in mind. Let us never forget the humble and patient origins of the richest stocks of today.
Investments in additional and productive capacities, expenditures to understand and to adapt to new customer requirements, conservation in the Payout Ratio, an unrelenting drive towards higher net value addition per employee, and the painstaking search for new management talents are the five parameters of business excellence for greater stock values. None of these very complex processes lend themselves to speed. Indeed, they could well make the Most Recent Quarter look pedestrian.
