Apple Isn't Equipped To Compete In The Smartphone And Tablet Market [View instapost]
I hadn't considered the possibility of the iPad mini being marketed towards education. Still, school boards are already jumping on the iPad bandwagon and what Apple would be doing is giving them a cheaper option which means less revenue.
Patents will expire eventually and if the creative teams can't keep coming up with more good stuff that won't be a reliable source of income.

I don't believe iPhones will gain traction in emerging markets. Based on my experience (primarily in India), the average consumer is much more tech savvy than your average American. Androids provide more bang for their buck. You can make an Android run like an iPhone but not vice versa.
If you own an iPad and an iPhone, there's no reason to get an iPad mini. The only people they cater to is those who want an iPad but can't quite afford it. That may fuel sales for a while but as I said before, it won't be able to compete with the more versatile Android in the long run.
Apple cloud would be a great revenue source if they were the only cloud service around. To be honest, cloud computing hasn't even gotten off the ground yet and the competition is already fierce. Apple has an advantage right now with so many devices in the market and the fact that their cloud is up and running, but Android will allow users to plug into multiple cloud services (which gives consumers more options, as I stated in the article) which I don't foresee Apple allowing.
Apple thrived this long on exclusivity and that advantage is all but disappearing.

Like I said in the article, I'm not looking for what Facebook will do 2 or 3 years down the line. From my perspective, that's a straight gamble since there's not much data on the leadership's management abilities.

I like that idea. I haven't played with calender spreads much but I'll have to look into that with one of my next few articles. What type of calender spread would you go with if you were looking into opening a Facebook position today?

More reward for more risk. It's not a guarantee that we're heading off the cliff, but if we do you better believe it's guaranteed that the market will eventually come back to current levels.

Honestly, I'd love to see a crash. I know that seems crude to say but for new investors, nothing provides a good entry point like a crash. I'm still young, it'd be a great time to load up.

I don't see a pre-election rally either but it wouldn't surprise me in the least and I wanted to be sure to outline all the risks. Bernanke and company would want Obama back in office and he'll do everything in his power to make sure that happens, which may mean something to boost short term markets (whether QE will provide that boost or not is another topic of discussion).

Enjoyed the article. The only thing I'd disagree with is Pizza Inn. Before delving into numbers the biggest thing I look at for a company is how well it seems to be performing to the naked eye. From what I've seen Pizza Inn seems to be closing older locations same store sales look to be down since traffic seems to have decreased. Of course none of this is backed by solid numbers, just conjecture based on what I see at physical stores I've been going to for years. Nice to see a different perspective though!
