IQ100 Index Reweighted for Q3 2018

The CNBC IQ100 Index powered by M·CAM has been reweighted for the third quarter of 2018. Microsoft (MSFT) becomes the IQ100’s highest-weighted component, while new component Boston Scientific (BSX) comes in at the second highest weight. These are companies that have demonstrated a superior ability to manage and deploy their innovation and intellectual property relative to their competitors.

 

The IQ100 outpaced gains in both the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 in the first half of 2018. Follow the index’s performance at CNBC.

David Martin for CNBC: “DJIA is the market ticker that’s irrelevant”

In commentary published today by CNBC, M·CAM chairman Dr. David Martin discusses the critical importance of innovation as a measure of market relevance. Last month’s replacement of GE by Walgreens Boots Alliance as a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average was a big story, but the bigger story that was missed is what that change says about the shortcomings of the Dow itself.

Remembering Constance Adams

From M·CAM’s David Martin:

At the launch of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, I was honored to be invited to share M·CAM’s Global Innovation Commons water for the world platform by Constance Adams. Our shared journey since then impacted lives from New York to Mongolia, to India and across Africa. She was a great colleague and I’m honored to have shared this little blue ball with her for the season of her life. Travel well and my thoughts are with those still on this phase of the journey!

A Graphic Dialogue

From the beginning of my employment at M·CAM one thing became very clear, David Martin is always striving to align value and put its energy into play through Integral Accounting. And this post, along with all the other work we have done over years is a response in a much grander dialogue between communication and creativity.

By the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, the slide deck presentation format became a dominant mode of communications in the sale of ideas and products. For David, this medium was very natural for him. Because… when presenting empirical data to support a conclusion, …a montage of text, numbers, charts and symbols are used. Hence, David quickly enlisted my storyboard art abilities and skill set when I joined M·CAM as an analyst.

This image, evolved from a graphic David Martin had sent me in which the Integral Accounting principles are moved through the components of a carbon atom.
