A Rally or a Revolution?

 

A Rally or a Revolution?
How GameStop Changed the Future of Wealth

The GameStop saga nearly bought Wall Street to its knees. Established hedge funds, like Plotkin's Melvin Capital, were left scrambling for handouts to keep their ventures afloat, but how did a band of unqualified investors weaponize an internet message board like Reddit to bring them down?

Join me as we analyze the impact that the anti-establishment sentiment in WallStreetBets had on GameStop's ultimate performance on the stock market at the beginning of 2021. We'll dive into decades of market research, discuss market psychology, and analyze stock market indicators to cast light on a phenomenon that took the world by storm.

From superheroes turned supervillains, like Robinhood, to financial advisors turned folk heroes, like Keith Gill, we'll profile all of the parties that were involved in the GameStop rally and discuss the fallout they endured because of it.

The GameStop saga appears to be far from over, but the question remains whether it will ever reach the elusive $1,000 threshold that has been discussed in WallStreetBets or whether amateur investors are better off closing their positions and spending their time trying to find "the next GameStop."

Most importantly, we'll answer the most pressing question of all: Will the guillotines really be rolled out, or was the revolutionary rhetoric that reigned supreme in WallStreetBets nothing but a flash in the pan?

Take Courage, Do It Afraid

 

Take Courage, Do it Afraid

Have you ever been afraid to make a radical change in your life in fear of what the outcome would be? this collection of poetry is my journey of taking that leap of faith. I was was afraid to take that leap but I learned that either I would walk in fear of failure or walk in reverence of God because I can do all this through Christ who strengthens me.

The Singularity Transfer

 

The Singularity Transfer

Princeton neuroscientist Thomas Parker must save people he promised to keep alive, while giving adversaries a new age of warfare. In his world of secrets, no one can be trusted. If Parker fails, a resurrected evil wins and everyone who he cares about dies, even FBI Special Agent Kate Morgan. The Singularity Transfer is a thriller with a scientific edge.

Forces beyond Parker’s control have turned events into a new era space race. Parker’s knows his work erodes the ethical ground of medicine, science, politics, and geopolitical landscapes, yet the only way to save the people under his protection is to allow the project to reach completion—an outcome with surprising ramifications for humanity.

The opposing force that Parker faces is a resurrected Stewart Richards, who is hellbent on delivering a working version of Parker’s work first. What Parker and Richards don’t know is that each holds key secrets that the other needs to deliver neurological singularity.

Parker must save those he can, while struggling to trust anyone. His FBI Special Agent girlfriend Kate Morgan is an essential contributor to his work, but even she can’t be trusted.

The thread of conspiracies weaves together a broader tapestry behind the story, drawing on national and international politics, the dawn of a New World Order fueled by the notion of Peace on Earth, and establishing a new nation championed by Founders of the Nine Rings.

The Singularity Transfer is an intricate thriller that exposes disturbing medical research in the form of a deeper revelation. How will Thomas Parker survive? Will he save those he promised to save? The Singularity Transfer plays off “what if” scenarios facing current medical and biological research endeavors. Some of those initiatives may fundamentally change social and geopolitical landscapes forever.

The Allergic Boy Versus the Left-Handed Girl

 

The Allergic Boy Versus 

the Left-Handed Girl: 

A Novel

The new novel from the author of book that is the basis for the new Tony Hale movies”Eat Wheaties!”

The Allergic Boy Versus the Left-Handed Girl is the story of Jimmy Nail.

When Jimmy Nail finally gets around to reading the phenomenally popular novel The Left-Handed Girl, written by the iconic P.J. Darbin, he recognizes it immediately. It’s his own story, The Allergic Boy, that Jimmy had given to Darbin to read when they were both eager young college students. That was before Jimmy dropped out of school. Before Jimmy joined the Army. Before Jimmy suffered a severe head injury that leaves him with screaming headaches and occasional confusion.

But it’s his story. He knows it’s his, even if no one will believe him. Not his wife. Not Darbin’s big-city publisher. Not Darbin’s team of lawyers. And not the mean-spirited judge who’s assigned to hear Jimmy’s lawsuit.

How can Jimmy prove that he’s the true author of the hit novel and not just a greedy and addled war veteran with a head injury and a frivolous claim?

When his dusty old notebooks and his own memory convince no one, Jimmy knows that his only hope is to find the red-haired girl he’d been mad about as a teenager, the enigmatic Poppy Fowler.

Or Poppy Fahrenberg.

Or Poppy Fahrenheit.

Whatever her surname, she is Jimmy Nail’s one and only hope.

His one and only hope for love.

His one and only hope to establish his sanity.

And his one and only hope to get the credit he deserves. The money, too. He can’t forget the money.

But did Poppy even exist, or was she just the creation of Jimmy’s sad and troubled mind?

Jimmy has lost everything. He’s lost his wife and his daughter. He’s lost his parents. He’s lost his savings. What he hasn’t lost is his love for a red-haired girl who may have been the basis for a novel that has made someone else world-famous and awfully rich.

Oh, and Poppy was left-handed.

In this unique and inventive novel, Michael Kun explores the nature of truth, the imperfection of memory, and the very idea of love. As Jimmy Nail learns that he must love whom he loves, regardless of appearance and even gender, Kun infuses Jimmy’s quest with humor and emotional depth.

The STOP: 

Improving Police and Community Relations

REAL LIFE SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE POLICE AND 

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

“Dear Dwayne, “Thank you for writing. There are too many places in America where communities of color feel unfairly targeted by police and where police departments feel unfairly attacked for doing their jobs…I recognize these fears and frustrations are deeply felt—they are rooted in realities that have existed for a long time. But I’ve witnessed our Nation make tremendous progress in my own life, and I still believe we are not as divided as we may seem.” – President Barack Obama

The current climate of police and community relations is very tense. From George Floyd and Breonna Taylor to Ahmaud Arbery and Elijah McClain, seemingly every week, the media captures another story of a police officer’s use of deadly excessive or unreasonable force. Police officers have also been the target of random attacks and shootings, which has further reinforced the level of distrust between the police and communities. 

Whether it is police against community or community against police, this chaotic relationship will prove detrimental to our communities if we continue in this manner. 

“I sincerely believe our communities and police need each other,” says Dwayne Bryant. “However, if we don’t make a mutual commitment to foster honest and open dialogue and improve our efforts to bridge the gap to create a positive relationship, I am concerned that our society is headed in an irreversible direction.”

Bryant, a renowned motivational speaker, who has spent the last two decades educating over 30,000 students, parent and teachers on police and community relations, is the author of The STOP: Improving Police and Community Relations, which supports the values of mutual respect, shared responsibility and personal accountability, ensuring institutions that create, apply and enforce the law – from congress to the courtroom to the police – are an integral part of building a sustainable relationship with community and authority.

With a letter to Bryant from President Barack Obama and forewords by Lee Brown, PhD, former Police Chief and Mayor of Houston, TX and former Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and David R. Bursten, Captain, Chief Public Information Officer, Indiana State Police, The STOP aims to inspire and empower individuals to look beyond initial thoughts of fear with police encounters and discover strength in resolving strained situations.

Bryant, an Alumni of the FBI Citizen’s Academy and Community Advisor for COPA (Civilian Office of Police Accountability), shares seven real-life personal encounters with law enforcement from his childhood into adulthood. With compelling narratives, research and humor, The STOP will:

• Teach youth how to interact with police in a respectful manner
• Encourage thought-provoking conversations and intelligent action between families, communities and law enforcement
• Provide framework for parents, teachers and community leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue with youth about their expectations in life
• Offer practical solutions to bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement, creating a positive relationship

 

“Before you change your world, you must change your vision,” continues Bryant. “I named this book The STOP for two reasons: first, because I want to encourage everyone to stop and think in any situation, confrontational or not. A positive outcome goes a long way for our community and nation; and second, The STOP is about more than just a police stop. It stands for Support the Teaching Of Principles.”

DWAYNE BRYANT is an internationally renowned speaker, best-selling author, educational consultant, trainer and Alumni of the FBI Citizen’s Academy. Known for his high-energy, unique ability to connect to an audience, keen intellect and wit, Bryant fuels audiences by sharing his credo of hard work, perseverance, integrity, and applied faith, which are the keys to his success. 

He is the Founder and CEO of Inner Vision International, Inc., which provides various education institutions with results oriented social emotional mentoring services, including eLearning with DB. He is sought after by corporations, nonprofits and academic institutions for his proven ability to offer step-by-step resources to audiences on how to unlock their unlimited power.

Bryant has been a three-time guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, correspondent for Next TV, host the Unity breakfast for The Obama Presidential Library and has been featured on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and PBS networks for his impactful work throughout various communities. 

He received a proclamation from the Pennsylvania State Legislatures for his book, The STOP: Improving Police and Community Relations. Recognizing his work for creating solutions to improve police and community relations, Bryant received EBONY Magazine’s EBONY Power 100’s “Community Crusader” Award.
