Useful Everyday Indexes and Guidelines

The Busstop-queue -index

The busstop-queue -index gives you an approximation of the time you have to wait for the bus. If there are already people on the busstop when you arrive, it is safe to bet that you won’t have to wait for too long. This holds true regardless the people are aware of busschedules, which I am usually. If there are no people on the busstop as you arrive, it might mean that you have to wait for a longer time, but it is not that certain. In my neck of the woods busses drive right after each other, sometimes in line, which is a by-product of having three different companys running approximately the same route.

Popularity -index

The ratio between sent personal emails to received personal emails implys how popular you are. If you send out more personal emails than you receive, you can’t consider yourself to be that popular. Usually communication like this isn’t symmetrical, it often follows the form: 1.) Query of some kind to person A from person B, 2.) Answer from person A to person B 3.) Acknowledgement of message from person A to person B. In this situation person A is one down and this situation is usually mirrored in all communication situations, he/she who initiates it will be one down. You have to be popular enough for people wanting to proactively engage in communications with you.

  1. Any justification to that “when to sell your stock”? If everyone is telling everyone to buy, then isn’t everyone also buying, so the stock is still going up for a while?

  2. Dear Sir,

    as there is finite amount of money in the world stock prizes can’t get more expensive faster than the general increase in wealth (to a certain extent).

    The faster the stocks get more expensive the faster the level where they are over-valued enough is passed. To put it more directly, the faster the stocks go high, the sooner comes a time when they will come down.

    It is a value of some empirism to notice that people do buy more stocks when everyone is telling them to. So, heres looking for the next bubble!
