Dow Upswing: Getting Back in the Game

Well you'd better be a long term investor because here we are two days later and all the stocks you recommended are underwater.

Not clear where the roulette wheel of recession stops.

Is Apple's New MacBook Affordable Enough?

I've owned Macs and PCs and while i prefer the Mac i always wind up with a PC because you really do get more bang for the buck. I cannot get myself to pay the premium.

And while the Mac is definitely easier to use once you spend the time to learn the PC and know it well enough the ease of use issue goes away, at least for me.

MACs are, in the end of the day, more expensive.

Julian Robertson: Some Buying, but Bearish on the Economy

Obama is not up to 70% because of Obama.

If you don't like where the republicans have taken us I completely understand, they have done a lousy job over the last 8 years.

But please don't try and sell me on Obama doing great new things. He is just another leftist and will lead left.

Obama voters will be greatly disappointed after a few months of his presidency.

GPhone and iPhone: Openness Vs. Sleekness

Well years ago many complained that the Mac was closed and the PC open. This openess lead to viruses, spyware, root kits and no end of malware. In the end of the day if it is a phone it has to make an answer calls. Apple is right in not letting anything run in the background, in that way they can insure the phone works OK. There will be no end of misery with the gphone when some poorly written or malicious apps reek havoc with the calling capability.

Why Patriotism and Your Portfilio Don’t Mix

Only thing missing here was the vote for Obama sticker.

Marc Andreessen on Financial Crises, No IPOs, and Obama

There is nothing in his record that show Obama is a centrist. The only thing that i am sure Obama stands for is becoming president.

While it is very popular to bash Bush he did prevent more terrorism on our soil. He definitely spent too much money and made one huge strategic error in the Iraq war. That error was in disbanding the Iraqi military. All he needed to do was to double their pay and they would have gladly fought for the US and their own country. Would have saved 5 years of anguish. Bribery gets you everywhere, apparently.

Microsoft Copping to $10 Million Seinfeld Mistake?

I saw two of the ads. I wondered what was the point. Making Bill Gates appear more "normal" won't make me buy Vista.
