And p. 500. 00 assets are now intention this is a chart of the corporate Balance Sheets are more knowledge driven s. And p. 500. 00 Company Assets in trillions of dollars and as you see the tangible part of companies they just increase slowly since 1075 when 17 percent of a companys assets were intangible back in 1075 and now its 84 Percent Companies used to make stuff and they had value terms of the factories and their employees and their trade deals etc but now we have a situati
Used to make stuff and they had value terms of the factories and their employees and their trade deals etc but now we have a situation that chart shows 84 percent of the value intangibles or the Knowledge Based on knowledge so take a look at tesla for example they must has knowledge about how to go on joe rogan and promote his means he has knowledge about creating means he has knowledge about branding he has knowledge about interesting engineering ideas but the actual book value of the company itself is nowhere near the hundreds of billions of dollars we see in the stock market thats true across the board for every Single Company really in the s.

400000000000. 00 based on one guy got his team of engineers its not all that other stuff is this one guy so you know you dont have to manufacture something to be worth tens of billions or hundreds of millions of dollars right well how to get the valuation you get by multiplication of stock price times current number of shares outstanding and if you have knowledge on how to buy back your own stock and pump up those stock prices and executive Stock Options then you have a hierarchy where you actually didnt create anything for the economy you didnt engage in any capital expense expenditures a cap ex to expand your company in any way then what will happen is what will happen the i. B. M.
