Welcome to Sportscar Projects Ltd.

We are dedicated to the creation, development and delivery of ideas into the marketplace.  Using our IDEAriffic methodology, we help you to discover your best ideas and create plans and products that will deliver your ideas to your target markets. 

Our focus is not to find the FIRST IDEA and then stop, which most people do because of time constraints and the urge to "get it done".  We help you to define and refine your BEST IDEA and map out the fastest course to making that idea pay off.  In IDEAriffic terms, we help you to:

  1. Add two ideas together

  2. Subtract the bad, make the good better

  3. Multiply the good ideas to make them terrific

  4. Divide the idea into many building blocks to get started

  5. Think exponentially to launch a terrific idea into the stratosphere

We also offer instruction on the IDEAriffic method, to help you think creatively and generate terrific ideas all the time.  For more details, check our our companion web site: www.ideariffic.com

Blake Massey is the only private eye for a thousand miles, starting his life over on the calm, arctic shores of Remarkable Bay. Thriving on contract work from the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Massey finds peace in the far north until a beautiful woman hires him to find her missing father. His discovery of the frozen stiff, a disfigured body torn apart in the thawing river ice, revives memories of another woman he trusted and a violent past he left behind. Now, as his own life is threatened, Massey strips away the layers of deception and greed fighting over untold riches underground. Again he finds he must trust a woman he knows is lying but he has no choice if he wants to live. He journeys south to the source of the evil corrupting the pristine arctic wilderness he calls home. 


Set in the far north, where people go to escape the pressures of city life, Frozen Stiff is a quirky, comic and violent look at life in the harsh arctic barrens. The people are strange, the climate unforgiving and the wealth hidden underneath the tundra drives some men to murder.

Frozen Still is available as an e-book from publisher Off the Bookshelf.  To buy and read an excerpt, please visit Off the Bookshelf.com

 

Movies We Love In Times of Depression: Box Office Signals and Market Reactions in the 1930s, 1970s & 2000s

The weekly box office is one of our best indicators of our collective emotional state of mind.  It is one overlooked measure of emotion which has, since the popularity of movies started during the 1930’s, reflected the mood of the nation every week.

This book is a detailed review of the three depressing decades: the 1930’s, the 1970’s and the 2000’s, the first decade of the 21st century.  If you only invested in the Dow Jones Index during these three decades, you would have lost 44% of your money over thirty long years.

When we are losing money, depression makes us want to see movies to cheer us up, escape from our troubles and release our frustration at all the things that are going against us.  These movies are signals of our investing mood and thus, the direction of markets over time.  This book explains the direction of markets in these decades and the movies that signaled an investor change of mood from fear to hope and back again.
