Do it survivor style and have your employees vote a new guy/gal off each week? Then... blog about it, become an internet fad, get lots of free press / attention, attract customers, expand business, hire more devs.

Balls? I don't understand. The simplest tenant is "buy low, sell high". Most stocks are low, way low now. No need to time the bottom. Buy and hold. Buy quality companies whose business/products you personally understand. If you already
