The Uberman polyphasic sleep cycle and its economic impact

I recently came across this really strange idea where people can adapt their body clock to be able to go through the day sleeping only 2-3 hours a day. Now I'm currently setting up my own business and "hourly rates" seem to be a recurring theme.
So what would be the result if everyone started living life according to the Uberman sleep pattern? Well we'd gain huge amounts of revenue in terms of worker output (if of course Uberman results in longer working hours...which I think it would) and we would become as a country (the UK I'm talking about here) able to compete with some of the bigger countries who have bigger workforces.
But all is not hunky dory. At the same time there would be major losses due to the rise in the number of accidents. Insurance companies would have a field day as a result as they would be bringing out new products to cater for the accidents caused by lack of sleep. Roads would become more dangerous, as would anywhere involving high concentration. This would mean a mounting amount of costs for industries and businesses.
But at the same time the money attracted to the UK due to its artificially "large" workforce, would be paid out in workers fees. These same workers would then buy stuff and this would stimulate the economy further. There would be an increase in demand and we would become an artificially larger consumer base as more of us have more time to spare to use all these other products we are buying. But this is all of course if the law can be enforced.
In fact, it would be very hard to "enforce" the new law of uberman sleep as people love sleeping, and they can easily secretly hide away and sleep. In that sense, uberman being adopted would have to be entirely voluntary. Otherwise the costs would be prohibitive.
As you can see, there is a very fine line in improving worker output through increased hours, and decreasing output due to deterioration of work. And remember, even in Uberman we would have to have free time proportional to what we have now. Otherwise there wouldn't be enough time to spend our money, and then the economy would really suffer.

Why I wrote a trading guide on how I made £300 with 30 minutes work

Hi,
[Note, this book is currently not available]
Before I start, let it be noted that that title is tongue in cheek. I did make £300, but it wasn't really half an hour. The actual research and analysis takes more like about three to five hours cumulatively over the month. But the £300 is in reference to a couple of trades I did over the course of a week in which I spent only half an hour or so researching. But I'll be perfectly honest, if you are going to be a good trader, you'll need to spend months and years honing your skills. The good side is, the basics can be learnt in a couple of hours.

Anyway, It's been a long time and I've been up to a lot of different things, not least setting up my first company and finishing off my second novel. The investment fund I manage has also been going well. There was a 8.56% rise in the last month. In this time I also managed to write up a book that I've been wanting to write up for a long, long time. People regularly ask me how to trade, how I make money by trading, and all these other questions that I get sick of giving the same answers to every time. Read on to see how you could get this book for free!


Now, my cousin is big in internet marketing and he has his own products that he sells and others that he recommends to his readers, and he said to me, "hey Ibrahim, why don't you write a book about how you make your money?"

So I gave it a bit of thought and I decided, yeah, why not, let's give it a go. I wrote up the book, then started researching my competition who were also hawking their products. Very soon I got seriously pissed off. These people are offering trading systems that never go wrong. They offer get-rich-quick schemes, they offer massive profits for little time. They offer trading systems where you don't need to know anything and just need to press a few buttons. What rubbish. And its not just one of them or a few of them, its the whole bloody bunch of them!

Well, I'm not getting into that sick and twisted world of selling abstract profits and pipe dreams. My "sales pitch" is just a couple of lines rather than a bunch of red writing telling me to buy now before I die and its too late. I'm leaving it up to the person to decide - as it should be. I don't particularly care about the profits to be perfectly honest - in fact I got talked out of giving it free by my cousin - but, as my cousin argued, something you pay for makes it more valuable and then people actually read it.

[Above is a share.com statement of my accounts for the previous month. As you can see I've turned £2787.56 into £3018. That's a profit of about 8.3%. So if you'd used my system with £100,000 you'd have made £8000, which is a well paid job. Or you could just use it like I do, and build up your 100k yourself. The point is I made profit using my system.]

So I'm setting a nominal price of £2.50 on my book and leave it up to you guys to decide. In fact, if you approach me and seem like a decent guy, I might even just trust you and give the book for free in return for £10 once you start turning a profit.

In the book I go through my trading system which I use on shares and have used on Forex, both successfully, and the places I get my info from, and how I analyse the market. Simple stuff really, but stuff that's taken me years of enthusiastic involvement in the markets and reading to compile. Stuff that will take you years of trading and making losses to compile.

Buy this book or not, just don't ask me again for trading advice because I'll just point you to this website!

an interesting stock trading system

Hi,

Recently I cam across this site where apparently the guy made a million from $1000. Now this sounds fairly unbelievable to me, but after I read a bit more about him I realised that he had actually done some research into it as Maths major looking at similarities between past stocks that had really rocketed and then working out a common factor which preceded their rise.

And because he gives an 8 week money back guarantee, the buyer isn't actually losing out if he finds the system to be rubbish. The fact that there is a money back guarantee also adds to the credibility of course too.

Anyway, here's the link:
