  • Caterpillar: Buy Now As The Shares Have Bottomed Out [View article]
    Great article SG. I recently conducted a detailed analysis of CAT on my blog as well, and looked at several valuation techniques in the process. My valuation came out to about $91 at the moment, so it is indeed trading at a bit of a discount. Usually I would like more of a safety factor, but given that this is a solid dividend growth stock I did buy in at the 83.50 level.

    Excellent article. I too initiated a new position in CVX recently, despite trading at all time highs. I agree with the points made in your article. Good work.

  • The Truth About Robin Raina's Ebix: Part I [View article]
    If you do a "whois" query on their website, the website was only registered a few days ago (Feb. 16) so it appears this "company" was created simply to publish this article.

  • Deep Discount Strategy For Apple: Initial Price Target [View article]
    Thanks very much snagit! Yes, we're not too far off now. I still plan to enter once the target entry price is hit. I think there's a very good possibility of that happening over the next few weeks - let's see.

  • Crossroads: Which Direction Is Microsoft Headed? [View article]
    Interesting comment - thanks. Yes, I've been keeping an eye on Yahoo as well now that Mayer is at the helm. If anyone can turn it around I think it's her. Will be interesting to see how this agreement with Yahoo plays out and whether both companies can come out stronger as a result.

  • Crossroads: Which Direction Is Microsoft Headed? [View article]
    Hi Paul - Yes, those "Apply guy vs. PC guy" commercials really did a great job in portraying Windows PCs as uncool. I agree though that now that Microsoft has the right mix of products to appeal to the younger crowd and if they put some solid advertising behind it, they will go a long way.

  • Microsoft: This Sell-Off Is Bogus [View article]
    Thanks for the great article and I agree with most of your points. I too have upgraded all of my PCs to Windows 8, and also bought a surface. It's great how they all sync together. It's really what I was missing with from the apple products. I have an iPhone and an iPad as well, but my work computers are all windows based. Having MS-Office available on the surface is huge!

    Microsoft also has many other avenues for increasing profit over the next few years. They are changing their Xbox line of consoles from pure gaming to complete media center including music, videos/movies, and this will sync with Windows 8 devices as well. In short, Microsoft is now in a position to offer the complete package of software and devices that cover all worlds: work, media/entertainment, gaming, and shopping.

  • Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer and Facebook (FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg have reportedly held talks about forming an alliance. The companies already work together on small projects and recently settled a patent spat, although a deepening of their relationship could be complicated by Yahoo's problematic search partnership with Microsoft (MSFT). [View news story]
    Isn't Microsoft a minor investor in Facebook as well? Like 3-4%?

  • How We Made 613% With Apple Options In 7 Weeks And Expect To Do It Again In 4 Months [View article]
    Think there's a typo: August 27 to Sept. 14 is only 3 weeks, not 7.
