Apples to Apples: Will History Repeat Itself as Android Gains on the iPhone?

chicken egg question.
what came first ?

the apple iphone or its great apps ?

truth is; (by now)
google went the right way, a open operational system.
guess why they did it instead of pieace of hardware ?
yep.. you got the point.. in the OS world they will have people working for them. and if the geeks and professional developers do fall in love for google OS just like they did for apples iphone, damn.. then apple is in trouble, because they will start developing and porting all its apps for android.
both apple and google have a big advantage over microsoft(windows mobile) and symbian, called FETISHISM.
for some wierd fucking reason(acctually, for the same reason you root for the losing team when watching any game), all uber geeks out there, love google, love apple.

if android peaks up(it becomes trendy) YES. IT DOES POSES A THREAT TO APPLE.
all apple fanboys here, I am sorry, but that is the fact.
another advantage is the hardware.
its notourious, how ANY SMARTPHONE. is superior in resources to iphone. iphone doesnt have decent camera, doest have flash, its slow, extremely limited, though, its fashion, trendy and has tons of apps.. so we go back to the egg/chicken question..

#1 can other co. make their phones a trendy ? - yes, motorola and its razor have already proved that.

#2 if android apps peak up.. - yes again. apple is f** up!

#3 the most ridiculous argument i read here was: iphone will never be out-trended. HAHAHA COME ON, DO ME A FAVOR. so, basically, you are assuming IPHONE, IS THE ULTIMATE DEVICE. nothing else will ever come to replace it.

haha ohh boy.. ok ok, keep believing this.

LAT BUT NOT LEAST: right now, forget the iphone, or any other phone, focus on WIMAX vs LTE and the CARRIERS.
they are where you are going to make money.
with that said.
good luck to all.

Why E*Trade Is a Must Buy

etfc situation is so pathetic that the main reason the author points to buy it is the hope of a takeover.
so, if your best argument is; "you should buy it because it might be a takeover target" you are gambling, are they or are they not going to be bought ?
50/50 ??
i guess gambling in vegas is safer.

Despite Dedicated ETFs, No Reliable Way to Play Natural Gas

there is a way to play etfs, SHORT THEM ALL..

How Low Can the Dollar Go?

have you ever heard about a theory called "the earth is not the center of the universe" ??

this also apply to america son.
soon, you may find out that there other countries in the planet with potential and growing, internal market buying power.

now,
lets not be foolish, 1.3 billion chinese, 200 million brazilians and 1.1 billion indians will not become middle class(and start buying) overnight, just like china will not dump USD overnight.
so, for sure, I DO BELIEVE USD HAS A SHORT TERM REBOUND.
but look beyond, 20 years from now, maybe, in a multi-polarized world, US may not be the center of everything. no doubt, it wont lose its status as a super power, however, no longer a mega-power.

being long on an etf is suicide.
wanna buy gold ?
REAL GOLD ?
get the physical thing.
and not a paper that says it tracks gold. .

Why the U.S. Dollar Drop Might Be Significant

what do you want a short term or a long term answer ?

short term - dollar will go up. instead of asking yourself how lower USD can go, ask how high can OIL go. then you will have an answer
will an imminent pullback to happen, oil suppy easily surpassing demand and by consequence falling, dollar will go up.

long term - even though "the g-20 and bric countries asking for a new currency" it wont happen overnight. even them (the brics and g20) dont want it to happen overnight. the land needs to be plowed for that. everybody got tons of dollars in reserve, its stupid to think they wish a new currency to be created out of nowhere.
a transition will be made, as it is already being made. china investing in petrobras and several other "state"-owned co. over the world. india building gold stockpile, gold itself hitting 1k, those are all "light effects" that clearly show USD will be replaced some day.

now, once again.
some day, it is not tomorrow, neither it is next year, or the year after that.. things will change, US does not sustain to be the uni-polarized super power it once became in the past century, and eventually, things will change. how they will change ? wars ? trade deals? i dont know.
i also dont believe in those "apocaliptical economic preachers" that get out of their cave every fucking crisis, saying the world is coming to an end and US is doomed, and so on..

no
this wont happen.
but its foolish, for those, even the more patriotics, that blindly believe, the world cannot live without america.
believe me, 1.3 billion chinese citzens can consume a lot.. A LOT.

Gold Is Still the Opportunity of a Lifetime

by the way,
the dollar supplantation even though needed, its very complex. its not something you just wake up and do.
of course, that doesnt mean as well it cant and wont be done.
a lot of countries have demonstrated that they are pretty fed up with the fact that US has a printing machine and use it at its will to fool others into accecpting their currency in exchange for interest rates lower and lower.
now, think this way,
worst (or best, depending on what side you are)
dollar does get replaced;
do you think gold will shoot to 10k ?
boy.. gold will shoot to 100k if not more.
and then, the currency will go back to where it should have never left, being backed by something real, something that existis.
look at the bright side, maybe we even get to see pirates back in the seas stealing gold.
damn.. are we as a civilization going back in time ?
amazing!

Gold Is Still the Opportunity of a Lifetime

welcome to the commodities era.

UNG Trading 101

HAHAHAHAHA

"hold UNG for 2+ years and you will be fine"

HAHAHAHAHAHA x 2

really,
what kind of idiot holds an ETF ?

ETF, the new cocaine in town.
came to replace and relieve the pain of the late 2008 crisis.
the only one who will(and are making) money on this things are~

1. the issuers
2. the (AD)visers

and thats all.
3x inversed
3x reversed
shorting, put options, call options..

HAHAHA
no pal.

ETF is NOT a SALVATION (unless you short all of them)
and neither is natural gas.
AMERICA IS ADDICTED TO OIL and so it will be.

sorry,
I AM REALLY SORRY.
case closed.
