Amazon: King of the Retailers - Barron's

Hey User 358964, you make valid points but stop it already!

Winners and Losers in Today's Market

There are two kinds of people on SA you don't want to mess with: Apple fans and gold bugs.

I do own AAPL. But the moment it loses strength, I am selling and looking to buy again at $70. You can't fight market sentiment (even if you are an Apple fan).

Apple, Google, Microsoft: A Tale of Three Earnings Reports

I also disagree that Microsoft is a dead company. Yes, the people at the top are not the brightest bulbs in the world but what Microsoft does best is taking somebody else's good idea, re-implementing it as a Microsoft product and then finding a way to convert almost everyone to use it. They've actually become somewhat more innovative lately (xBox comes to mind).

I like to say (and many people agree with me) that the only good and original Microsoft products are the Microsoft mouse and the keyboard. Perhaps the Xbox can be added to the list now. Still the company will survive just fine copy-cating others' ideas. Early users are now saying that Windows 7 feels so much like an Apple system. Surprise!?

Apple: Selloff Creates Golden Opportunity

Buffett wouldn't buy a company that requires constant innovation.

I own AAPL to. My worry about APPL now is that if the fund managers decide they don't like the uncertainty and start selling, the stock will drop like a rock. Perhaps that's what's been driving the stock down lately.

Tech Bellwethers Looking Cheap?

When their P/E goes up to 30 while the prices go down another 30-50%, I'll think about buying. MSFT and INTC (and to some extent AAPL) are cyclical companies.
