apprenticeWell, what a group of names that is and what does it have to do with Investing? Quite a bit actually, and for those of you that do watch TV, you would undoubtedly recognize this cast of characters from “Celebrity Apprentice”.

As you may know by my previous story, The Apprentice, Gene Simmons & Kodak
my favorite of the bunch Gene Simmons got knocked out early because he chose to stick to his ethics rather than agreeing with some execs of Kodak and not acquiescing with Donald Trump’s not so subtle hints about bringing back in Nely Galán with him so Donald could fire her. (more…)


The Apprentice, Gene Simmons & Kodak

OK, if you must know, I don’t watch all that much TV…at all. But, I did manage to catch Gene Simmons of KISS on the Apprentice and he still ROCKS!

He was one of the team leaders in the episode and the goal was to come up with a new slogan for Kodak. In case you don’t know this, Gene is one of the true brilliant minds in marketing in my opinion. His company Simmons Abramson Marketing came up with the slogan ” I Am Indy” for Indy Racing. He is one of those few people that “Get it”. He has a host of other companies that he does marketing for and he has his own reality TV show as well.

What does all of this have to do with you as and Investor? I will get there in a moment, I promise. (more…)
