Always More to Learn From Buffett

Bravo!

A Look at D.E. Shaw's Q408 Holdings: Just for Fun

He's going to lose his shirt on those Apple Puts... very risky to Put Apple right now.... good for us that are long, though.

Most of his Calls and increased positions look pretty solid, though.

Are Fortune's Most Admired Companies Also the Most Investment Worthy?

I'm very surprised Apple is not on your Buy list.

They are very much a value company.

Management is some of the best in the world.

They have multiple business revenue streams, all of which are successful.

They have a real Price to Earnings ratio of 5 (five).

CE Spending Looks Dismal - But Macs Set to Hit New All-Time High

Macs are less hackable, because you have to have the user password to do anything.

Someone can email you a virus on a mac, but it can't execute, because of this simple fact.

To be hacked, you would have to knowingly, or unwittingly, hand someone the keys to your computer, or they would have to steel your user name & password through either physical access or observation, or "spoofing", that is tricking you into giving them your keys. Both of these scenarios are highly unlikely.

Even if they got physical access on your machine, they could not load a data logger, spyware, or virus execution program, without knowing your administrator password.

We certainly saved at lot of money, transferring our company over to Macs.

Not only did we save money, we are making more money with the increased production.

Worker moral is higher, too, with the decrease in frustration factor that come with IT support issues.

IT staff, can be retained for other functions, such as web site development, training & resource management, documentation development, etc.

All money in the bank.
