Starting to Think Differently About Sony

Sony? They make computers? :) No but seriously....I don't even think it is possible to intentionally do what they have done all these years. I like how Sony has yet to get rid of that bureaucratic Japanese style that continues to hurt that company. They need to drastically change that company and get rid of everything that is holding that company back. It used to be a great company. Now its a laughing stock. Look at their computers? Overpriced and bloated with junk. Phones? When was the last time you got excited about one of their phones? They were the first to come out with an e-reader but for some strange reason the thousands of "Geniuses" their could not figure out that maybe hooking it to a cell network could make it much better. Amazon comes out with the Kindle...their first device and now they got a strangle hold on that market. Its like Amazon came out with the first e-reader because the Sony one didn't exist to most people. Now they release a new reader with a lot of the same features as the Kindle. That shows a company that copies and has a huge void when it comes to innovation. They don't create buzz like Apple does. Until Apple came out with the iPhone and its touch interface did the other companies realize.....wow...thats a great idea. Until Apple came out with the App Store....no one realized....wow that is also a great idea. Now everyone has both....but Apple has a leg up. Because they were the true innovators in a lot of the new features in devices today. Other great companies like RIM have their work cut out for them.....Sony has three Everests to climb....and probably K2 as well.

CGG Veritas: A Veritable Bargain

Excellent Work.......I am really late on this particular investment idea but I was just looking into what the company does so I didn't need anything new........Props on the in depth research and well written article even though I am a couple years late....lol!! :)

Barron's: Time to Buy Housing Stocks

Nice work!!

Liberty Media: A Nice Combination of Offense and Defense

What is so attractive about the Starz movie channels? Just a thought. :)

Sources say cable networks and pay-TV providers (CMCSA, TWC, DTV) - struggling to make money from online video - are readying systems that limit their web shows to paying subscribers. Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, addressing concerns about putting popular content behind a subscription wall: "People are afraid to go first. We aren't."

Wow this is a shock. I can't stand these companies along with the telecoms, music labels, etc. who are not in competitive industries and just try to lock everything in for themselves (ex. cable, telecom) or just too stubborn, old, or not innovating enough to figure out a way to make money by giving people more of what they want instead of just restricting access. Look how they are instituting caps on their networks. Because their networks can't handle the loads they set limits because they are too cheap to build out the networks anymore. Besides dthey don't have to because most people don't have much of a choice on which carrier or company that is in their neighborhood. Look at all the things that are moving onto the net or the rising quality of things already on the net that will just get bigger and bigger as time goes on. We will watch even more movies online instead of renting them, download programs and games instead of buying them on CD or DVD at the store, watching more and more TV on the web (unless they of course succeed in stopping that), playing more video games on the net, plus the cloud offerings like online apps and online software such as offerings from Salesforce.com . They can't even handle the load on their networks as is. We have some of the slowest internet speeds amongst industrialized countries. I love the cable companies use of UP TO xx mb p/s claims. Look what happened to the music labels that tried to stop everything instead of taking advantage of it and innovating along with the market. They were quickly left behind. Good luck with all that. In the end.....its what the consumer wants and they will get it in the end...the faster they figure that out......the better for us and especially them.

Earnings Preview: Wells Fargo

Wow looking back.......i am good!!

STEC: Poised to Double Over the Next Year

Nice call so far just going by the article post date. Would of more than doubled already if you had bought the stock when he said to in the article even though he posted the article way after that. Kind of odd. It doubling again though is the question. I would personally start taking some profits but it seems like a good company to invest in for awhile until they become a commodity business. Of course if they are able to keep that from happening they could be a fortune maker waiting to happen for a very long time. That is what makes investing hard....yet so much fun!! :)

Citigroup Is Not Increasing Employee Compensation

I didn't read the original story other than seeing the headline. What I assumed it meant was TOTALLY WRONG. I thought they were taking large bonuses away from executives and spreading that money around to everyone in higher salaries. It seemed to be a good idea to me. Too bad I assumed wrong. Bells should of went off in my head because for something like that to happen pigs would probably have to start growing wings on top of their other wings that are non-existent.

Pipeline Partnerships Offer Promise - Barron's

Who cares about Pipeline Partnerships......how boring is that....there is one thing I really do want to know though........Hey Rachael are you single? :) I am sorry. That is just inappropriate. I am a big fan of partnerships and they are great investments as long as you pick the right ones..........that is until the politicians screw these up too.

Domino's: Fighting Back to Protect Its Brand

I wanna know how these people were able to videotape themselves doing these things at a place of business. Where was management? I have actually been having Domino's more often lately instead of Pizza Hut because of their Pasta, Sandwiches, & their amazing American Legends Memphis BBQ pizza. Their new Pasta bowls look good too. I think they are doing a very good job with their quality and breadth of products. I like that they have much more than pizza which can get boring after awhile. Hopefully they will learn from this and not let this ruin their comeback plans. I think it was just some isolated instances where they obviously hired some retards and it got out of hand. It should pass eventually. The video of them responding should of been redone with the whole look off camera but them responding through YouTube was a good move. If they can get through this which I think they will their future to me looks bright.

A Powerful, Free, Business Intelligence Tool

Thats Great!! I have not used this site for a little while and I just came back to check on it and I can't believe what they have done with it. So far so good!! I like a lot of the new features including the Business Intelligence feature. The new B-I section and the Transcripts section alone makes this site worth it. Even paying a small fee a month for just those two things is reasonable. All these things for FREE makes this site one of the best sites PERIOD (not just investing sites....all sites) on the web today. Keep up the good work but be careful making it too good. If you make it too amazing you might think of charging for it. :)

Why GM + Chrysler = Ugh

Look at Sirius and XM! Look at the combined company's shares now!!
