 leaders may need to be shown how your invention will benefit them before they recognize an ideas value. In fact, some businesses may resist an idea if they think it will reduce their profit. For example, if Company A charges for a service by the hour and your invention cuts the time to perform the service in half, Company A may not be too excited about your idea and may even fight against its acceptance in the industry.
Protect your idea. If you are going to make any money off of your invention, you will most likely need to file a patent application.After losing more than $120 million from a hedge fund "ambush" of his company, Corporate Travel Management ('CTM', ASX: CTD) CEO Jamie Pherous (pictured) is reinvesting in the business he founded.
After the group released an Ernst & Young-backed defence of its financial health, on Friday Pherous acquired 115,000 shares for a value of more than $2.4 million which now takes his total holdings close to $450 million.
At the time of writing Friday's purchase had made him around $83,000.
Two days after CTM's crisis-mode Halloween AGM where an explanation of North American operations was a dominant theme, US-based independent non-executive director Admiral Robert J Natter acquired 12,000 shares for a value of $269,884.
Admiral Natter is yet to make a profit on that transaction, but his total holdings are now worth around $2.58 million.
Today, Corporate Travel Management announced that Bennelong Australian Equity Partners had become a substantial shareholder in the company with more than 5.7 million securities, giving it a voting power of close to 5.3 per cent.
Bennelong's shareholdings represent RBC, RBC Lux, NAS, Citi and BNP.
Despite the negative press that has surrounded the company following its attack from VGI Partners, Morgan Stanley believes CTM's prospects are strong and has set a price target of $27.
In a research brief after the EY review of CTM, Morgan Stanley noted several points including consistency in working capital with total transaction value (TTV), emphasising "the latest investor concerns do not accurately reflect payments & receipts".
Morgan Stanley noted cash generation would be a key driver for the company in FY19, and also pointed to CTM's clarification that its total staff numbers were 2666 as compared to 2750 as stated on its site.
Meanwhile, Macquarie Wealth Management is confident CTM has responded to all matters raised by VGI but highlights near-term perception has been hit, setting a 12-month price target of $24.50. Nonetheless, its action recommendations remains "neutral", with the belief the stock is fairly valued.Bubblerum Fenty Beauty Bubblerum Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.098 oz.) is a muted, coppery-brown with warm, reddish undertones and darker gold pearl throughout its shinier, glossier finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that could be built up to medium coverage with two layers. The color applied evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines, which is always a nice discovery with more emollient formulas like this one. Th...
Acqua (100) Giorgio Armani Acqua (100) Ecstasy Lacquer ($38.00 for 0.2 oz.) has a sheer, almost milky white base with flecks of micro-sparkle and finer pearl that looked like a mix of gold, pink, and white. It’s hard to imagine this was intended to be opaque, but the brand doesn’t distinguish this shade as sheer nor does the promotional swatch image reflect a sheerer shade–but if you like sheerer, sparkly gloss, the formula is stil...

Glamping at The Fields of Michigan is the perfect Midwest weekend getaway to combine outdoor summer activities and a comfortable place to sleep. Read on to discover why I decided to have my bachelorette party here, and everything that the weekend entailed!
Glamping in the Midwest: The Background
I held my bachelorette party late July in South Haven Michigan. When choosing where to go for my weekend getaway, my main criterion was making sure it was driving distance from Chicago (since I was already requiring my friends to fly 4,807 miles to Italy for my wedding!) My first idea was Southwest Michigan, since I’m a sucker for a wine tour, and it’s an easy 1.5-2 hour drive from Chicago. My friends and I did a wine tasting day trip
