Reopening is a Mirage
I was listening to an interview of Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, in which he was asked for some macro perspective on the world economic scene. While he was far from confident that fiscal and monetary policy can “paper over the cracks” in our economic foundation, Mr. Pal was emphatic that, for all the focus on lifting restrictions and bouncing back to business as usual, “reopening is a mirage.” Sure, he says, consumption will return to some degree, but not at all to the degree that people and markets seem to be expecting. The continuous media driven cycles by political parties and scores of other special interest groups have constructed this so-called mirage of “reopening,” in a desert where our nation’s leaders are wandering aimlessly. Prepare not for a reopening of the American culture, but rather a reimagining of the American society and, by extension, the American dream. The new American Dream will be found online in democratized digital environments from platforms like Vimeo, Spotify, and Vocal.

Time For Some ‘Creative Destruction’. Top Story - April 2020.
The very nature of the global economic structures we have taken for granted over the last decade are in jeopardy, from the integrity of the European Union to the future of supply lines from China, a country that stands accused of lying to the world about the extent of the virus. Coronavirus has obliterated over 22 million jobs, which amounts to nearly all the jobs that were created since the end of the financial crisis 10 years ago. This economic crisis will have a domino effect and continue to impact one facet of society after another. Ultimately it will create a wall of worry for financial markets to climb. As time passes and we begin to understand the scope of this crisis, facts will eventually force action. There are plenty of opinions about the whos, whys, whens, and hows, but we all know one thing for certain: it will take a long time for the effects of a global economic shutdown to settle enough to create some semblance of a "new normal."

The Future Is Tele-
What started out as a government-mandated work from home policy last month turned out to be validation of one of our company’s key strengths: our nearly seamless transition to a work from home environment. We had always taken a rather minimalist approach when it comes to Jerrick and Vocal’s brick-and-mortar presence. To put it simply, we have long expected that our company’s growth would not necessitate a corresponding increase in office square footage.

Jerrick CEO’s Week in Review: 03/30/20 - 04/03/20
The New Era While we officially closed Jerrick’s office on March 23rd due to COVID-19, most of the firm had been operating remotely as far back as March 9th. At that point, the Dow had already fallen 4,000 points from its high and we had been focused on preparing our 2019 10-K, which we subsequently filed in a timely manner on March 30th.

Jerrick (OTCQB: JMDA): FY 2019 Shareholder Letter + White Paper
On March 30th, 2020, Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. timely filed its 2019 10-K. Global Perspective It has been a long quiet period for our company. The last time I communicated publicly was my weekly update on Monday, February 10th. At that moment, in what was already quite an existential period in the business world, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the day at 29,276. It closed yesterday at 22,327.48, having given up 23.7% of its gains since that day.

Strength in Knowledge The phrase "knowledge is power" is most commonly attributed to Francis Bacon, in his 1597 Meditationes Sacrae. That idea, that information itself holds the key to self-cultivation, has been revisited time and time again throughout history, through the lens of everything from philosophy to geopolitics to moral discourse (Like in Proverbs 24:5, which teaches that “A wise man is strong, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.”)

The Team is the Thing We are always looking to expand our talented team. The collective group is unequivocally the biggest contributing factor to our success thus far. By the same token, not having the right team in place is the primary thing that can stand in our way in the future. The search for talent never stops. This process requires scouting and hiring for core positions at least two, sometimes three months in advance of their required fill dates, because an employee often requires nearly 90 days just to acclimate to the culture and undergo specific training for the tools required for success in any particular role. The team is always analyzing and evolving itself within the Agile framework I have discussed previously.

Performance It is a bit surreal to again begin a weekly report where we are experiencing great progress on multiple fronts but continue to watch our stock lull between $3.90 and $4.10, week in and week out. Over the last 90 days, the trading range was between $3.42-$4.70, which in the last 30 days has narrowed to $3.85-$4.04 as we get closer to the uplist.

This year will be one of the lightest years for uplisting stocks in the last 10 years since the OTCQB came into existence. I first came to understand the OTC Market’s business model in 2012. For some time after it looked like this financial product space offered great promise. However, it wasn’t too long before cottage industries and support services that companies would need to rely on for uplisting became more difficult to provide. In particular, quality financing, investor awareness and advisory groups were rare. For a number of reasons, the space began to bifurcate into a group containing a few meaningful operators and another that contained a great deal of predatory practices masked as institutional business.

Endurance In the racing world, endurance racing is a sport that strives for perfect partnership between humans and machines. It is as much about testing the durability of the race car, the machine, as it is about the skill and stamina of the human team that drives it. These types of races, and the arduous preparation required to compete in them, are emblematic of the sheer power that comes from synthesizing machine processing and human thought. The significant barriers that can be broken when these components fit together are game changing. The engineers and drivers engage in a never ending feedback loop to improve the durability and speed of the machine. Success plays out transparently and in real time on the race track.
