Too Much Optimism for Gilead Sciences?

What a terribly written article. Is this what passes for Wall Street analysis these days? Like what previous posters said, you simply made some infantile assumptions - Cramer is wrong and day trader technical charts are always right, both foolish assumptions. You made no comment about the fundamentals of Gilead, widely regarded as one of the pillars of biotech, or offer any reasons why it may fall into the 40s and 30s as you claim. You could have said something about its HIV drugs being over-saturated, or upcoming Phase 3 trials that are taking too much time, FDA approval and such, but you didn't even state your case. GILD is not a daytrader's stock like AAPL, and you shouldn't treat it as such, it's beta is far more conservative than other stocks - hold and go long for a long time. Only a moron would short GILD... but alas, these Seeking Alpha dolts are nothing but...

eBay's Bill Me Later a Bad Idea

Uh, isn't the "Bill Me Later" philosophy what got the country into this subprime and credit mess to begin with? Correct me if I'm wrong!

Another Dumb Idea From Google

Google is still stuck in their stupid, hokey Pixar mode, with tons of disposable cash, no concern for shareholder value, and a complete lack of identity from those two gay-looking dweebs. Wow! We're sponsoring a contest to build a rocket to the moon, with scraps from your backyard! Wow! We're sponsoring a search for alternative fuels! Wow! We just released a browser to RIVAL Microsoft's Internet Explorer, except, uh, well... it doesn't load Java correctly yet, can't parse Ajax documents from Facebook, and can't even read the charts properly from Google Finance! Wow! Now we're releasing a half-assed operating system that's kinda like Linux but crappier, for a cheap Taiwanese phone, it's called ANDROID and it'll like totally kill the iPhone! Isn't that awesome? And hey, don't ask us about our COMPLETE earnings and guidance, that's SO uncool... chill out and smoke a bong with me as we jump up and down on the trampolines and ball pit in our PLAY AREA! WHEEE!!!! What? The stock price? Oh don't worry, we'll start innovating once our billions of dollars of disposable cash run out... A stock split to increase demand? No! Then our stock will look, like, totally cheap man.... and it's like, whoa, MSFT $20, GOOG $300! Cuz the good guys rule!

Steve Jobs' Fake Heart Attack, Courtesy of CNN

CNN, the guys who played the fake footage of Arabs celebrating after 9/11 that was really footage of Kuwaitis celebrating after the first Gulf War? CNN, the guys who spliced together footage from Nepal and claimed it was Chinese soldiers beating Tibetans? They're no longer credible? Nooooooooooooooooooooo...

Google: More Downside Up Ahead

These writers at Seeking Alpha suck. I don't hold GOOG, but this article is way off base and without solid facts. Fact: Google is becoming an 8,000 pound Internet Gorilla in the hilarious chaos of Yahoo and Microsoft through cloud computing apps (Chrome, Picasa, Reader, iGoogle, Blogger, Desktop...), gobbling up everything in sight like a giant morphing amoeba, all the while being viewed as the "Good Guys", vs. Microsoft's image of being a corporate raiding villain. Fact: MSFT is scared sh*tless of GOOG, as evidenced this past year. Google is aiming for MSFT's prized jewels of internet and office apps, and it seems like they have quite a good chance of harpooning Ballmer's dinosaur and, with help from Apple and Salesforce, taking it down for the count.

Starbucks Gets Re-Caffeinated - Barron's

SBUX is a terrible stock to own hoping for a pop. Howard Schultz is, in many ways, just like Jerry Yang. He fatally believes that his baby is "sacred and special" and highly valued in an environment that punishes this belief. His "corporate retraining to make a good cup of joe" campaign when he returned was nothing but transparent window dressing, and his "buy an expensive coffee in the morning, get an iced coffee for 2 dollars in the afternoon in exchange for the receipt" smacked of desperation and unwillingness to accept price cuts. Before you go pumping SBUX, take a look at Schultz vs. Yang, and see where the latter ended up.
