The Trend Is Your Friend Until It Ends

Actually 2 good articles in one day although the moronic 'top 10' commentors on this site have ruined it with their plentiful facts and figures on why we should go down. Too bad none of them have a clue on how to make money.

Expect the Unexpected from This Market

Wow, one of those rare good articles on this site.

Well done

Apple's Snow Leopard Takes Two Steps Back

Some really dumb comments as usual although this one made me laugh the most 'Microsoft keeps a lot...but it's very messy and easy to hack into...and sloooow. '

Why I'm Short So Many Financials

Shorting the financials is absolutely moronic due to the government backstop. Good luck fighting the trend.

Aging PCs and a fresh OS (Windows 7) will spark corporate PC sales in 2010, Intel (INTC) CEO Paul Otellini tells the FT. "The fleet of PCs is getting fairly aged; most corporate notebooks are now over four years old, desktops are over five years old, they need to refresh."

We have a huge glut of 5 and 6 year old machines that I am going to replace whether people like it or not. Either that or close the doors.

Windows 7 is fast and excellent, having used it 5 months now(RTM for a month). Going x64 on the desktop as soon as it's officially released. It's good enough to drive a proper refresh.

LOL @tweaks
I've been in the industry for 15 years and if you don't see how much better the new products are especially compared to win95 and office97, you should have been fired long ago. Actually I still can't believe you still have a job.

Four Reasons We're Headed Even Higher

The guy came out with many gutsy calls, got flamed for them and make a bucket of money and you didn't.

Yeah I'd follow that.

Four Reasons We're Headed Even Higher

Since Jason is the one who nailed the BAC calls consistantly making tons of money, while most of the moronic 'top 10' commentors on this site were the same ones who missed the rally, it's clear who deserves more respect.

It's all about making money, pride is for fools.

Apple vs. Microsoft: Apple's OS Wins Hands Down

LOL at the author and his multiple reboots. 1995 is calling and wants it's computer back.

Some users find ways to screw up their PC despite what you install or tell them. They just do the same dumb things over and over installing all sorts of Internet crap and then blame it on MS.
I've been using Win 7 for 4 months now and it's very fast and very nice. Enough to drive a corporate refresh(including mine going x64 on the desktop).

As for an investment AAPL is fully valued here. I said here multiple times that below 100 buy and below 90 load up the boat. Now is a great time to unload. MSFT's stock is far too boring to buy here.

After Lenny Dykstra's implosion, you've got to wonder about the timeliness of Todd Stottlemyre's hedge fund pitch.

Unlike Lenny, Todd has actual trading talent and is a fantastic scalper.

Canadian Banks: Q3 Earnings Preview

All the positive news is already priced in. Canadian bank stocks are fully valued here, some like RY are as little as 15% off their 2007 highs. Much better places to put your money.

None of that information is useful as you only trade what you see, not what you think. It's really easy to spot the pros from the amatuers. The amatuers have opinions.

Goldman's Macro-Bulls Out in Full Force

Without fools like this, who would there be to take money from?
Enjoy your stupid bearish bias, too bad it won't pay the bills.

Only morons fight the trend, and right now it's up till it's not.

Google Launches a Major Offensive Against Microsoft with 'Going Google'

Any decent sized company will never trust their important documents to Google. Major firewalls and 2 factor authentication are implemented so user's typical poor passwords and disgruntled employees don't expose their data to anyone who can get a hold of a valid user/pass.The recent twitter hack is just the tip of the iceburg.

Five Reasons I'm Long Apple

Wow, some actually smart comments in here. Gives me some hope that most of the readers on this site are not fools.

Can it actually be possible that making money and fanboyism are mutually exlusive?

John Dvorak thinks CADD (Corporate Attention Deficit Disorder) may mark Microsoft (MSFT -8.3%) as a company finally on the decline, with too little focus on its core competency of software. "What's shocking is that the cash cows, specifically the Windows operating system and the Office suite, have managed to finance all these idiotic efforts for so many years."

"Large companies routinely cut out huge sections of the code for various reasons such as security and bloatware considerations."

That would be cool if it wasn't total BS
