Never Underestimate Rate of Change
Never Underestimate Rate of Change: Senior leaders need to make sure they don’t underestimate how much change can occur in a decade, especially in the cyber domain, said Maj. Gen. Edward Bolton, Air Staff director of cyber and space operations, last week at AFA’s CyberFutures Conference. The biggest shift, he predicted, likely will be in the “exponential use” of smaller and more capable mobile devices. “Things that used to require you to be in working on the main frame . . . can now be done on the metro,” said Bolton. However, more reliance on such communications also means more vulnerabilities that others could exploit. The coming years also will bring a “dramatic increase” in the number of Internet users. Today, one-third of the world’s one billion Internet users live in Asia. China, he said, is developing its cyber specialists “the way Russia used to develop athletes.” Training begins at a very young age and becomes increasingly more competitive, he said.

Corporate Cash Reserves at 60 Year High!!!
Cash and other liquid assets on the balance sheets of non-financial businesses totaled a record $1.93 trillion at the end of the third quarter. This equated to 7.4 percent of their total assets, the highest share since 1959. Companies are stockpiling cash as a buffer against a potential future disruption to the financial sector that might hinder their ability to borrow. A wait-and-see attitude regarding the strength of the economy also is playing a role. When businesses feel more confident in the stability of the financial system and the durability of the recovery, they will begin to deploy these resources to buy new equipment and expand their payrolls. As that occurs, tenant demand for commercial real estate likely would increase from the very modest levels seen thus far in the recovery.
