Vulture investing - is it a good strategy?

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Is it good?  This is bargain hunting, basement chasing, and or taking advantage of companies going belly up, or buying scrap from a closing business.    Junk yard operators are such individuals, or car dealers specializing in vehicles from insurance company yard - buying totalled cars.

One such interesting spectacle is a young billionaire who sold his energy company for 10 numbers but who has invested in  1.  Ailing media company whose franchise for free air TV has been cancelled and 

2.  Hacienda who have hundreds in millions of unpaid rpt, and even subject of agrarian reform.

Unless there is a new technology, high value crop,  to be used in agri for the hacienda, or a new plan for the media company like being a data or AI center?

Is this vulture investing?  Has the young billionaire made his due diligence.?  Properly advised?

I would not go his way of investment.   The risk for him are too great.  Unless his purchase price is at

deep discount or bargain.   

Throwback: debate - are entrepreneurs born, made or product of luck

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This was a group work.  Class is divided into 4:  3 positions and fourth one is the judge.

Are entrepreneurs (or leaders)  BORN, MADE (Trained) or result of LUCK (SWERTI)

Interesting arguments come out during the debate as well as judgment by the judge.

This is an interesting topic for us to ponder in the days to come.

Really, what do you think?  Are entrepreneurs born, made or product of luck?

Throwback Electronic teaching - use of blogs

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

During my teaching stint, I learned how to blog.  Though there was no electronic teaching platform available at that time, I used the blog to:   publish the syllabus,  teaching materials, and the submission. of the assignment.  This encouraged competition, and the motivation to be better than others.  

Later on some students became concerned with privacy (since blogs were treated as websites and assignment submission especially videos were searchable at Google.

Thus this post was able to achieve efficiency and saved paper and trees.  

Innovation in teaching
