Jason Tierro, an inventory Jason Tierro, an inventory clerk at Lexmar Company, is responsible for taking a physical count of the goods on hand at the end of the year. He has been performing this duty for several years. This year, Jason was very busy due to a shortage of personnel at the company, so he decided to just estimate the amount of ending inventory instead of doing an accurate count. He reasoned that he could come very close to the true amount because of his past experience working with inventory. Besides, he was sure that the sophisticated computer program that Lexmar had just invested in kept an accurate record of inventory on hand.

So like any other person that is excited and not rationalizing, I made a decision to rent the building not knowing what came along with owning your own business. I began to do my research after the fact. In doing my research I learned that as a business owner you need to have your building up to city codes. This building that I decided to rent was about 11 years old, so it was not up to city code. The city codes change almost every year.
However, the managers argued that the use the lock-in procedure as a method used to try to reduce inventory theft but claimed that all employees were paid during the lock –in process. Wal-Mart practices regarding overtime were many times inexcusable as employees stated. For instance managers would come in and delete overtime hours form worker’s time cards, so Wal-Mart would not have to compensate employees for the additional time worked. As mentioned above, Wal-Mart objectives were conservative; its objective in terms of cost was 8% of sales whereas the industry average was between 9 to 10%. In addition to the lawsuits for “off the time clock work” Wal-Mart also faced lawsuit for sexual discrimination allegations.

Buffett read every investing book in his local library, many of them multiple times… by the time he was eleven years old. If you aren’t willing to put in the time and effort that stockpicking requires, the person on the other side of your trades is likely to know more than you, which is a recipe for underperformance. In that case, you’re better off simply buying a low-fee index fund which passively tracks the market, like VFINX, which tries to match the S&P 500. All of the lessons below are relevant for active investing, but many of them also apply to passive investing, so I encourage you to read on regardless of whether you decide to pick stocks yourself or just buy the entire market. [Extra for experts: market-weighted index mutual funds like VFINX hold more in stocks that have already risen and less in stocks that have already fallen, which reduces returns because stocks that are up tend to slightly underperform those that are down.
I will be using their annual report from 2011, and explain the main sections of the report, discuss key factors that helped influence the company’s financial performance for the year stated above, the company’s assets, and we will also explain how management characterizes the internal control environment.

The business section of the annual report basically tells exactly what the business is. It informs the reader on when the business was founded, who founded it, what products and services the business offers, and how many customers have used their business.
Employers pay us to work not to lollygag on phones and Instagram our keyboards. Here at Citi, we work with people and calls come and go all day long. How are we supposed to be focused and adamant about our customers during our business calls if were more concerned with our social plans for the evening? If it wasn’t for this job, we wouldn’t even be able to afford going out in the first place. Here's the real deal.
