  • The ARM Singularity [View article]
    That you for a great article. Intel has been executing on this thesis since early last year at least and you have nailed the most likely outcome exactly on the head.

  • iOS 7 (AAPL +0.5%) is unveiled, and Jony Ive's fingerprints are all over it. The OS' fonts, icons, and even color palette have been overhauled to provider a cleaner, "flatter" look, and every built-in app has been redesigned. "We ran out of felt and wood," quips iOS/Mac OS chief Craig Federighi. New features include a Control Center for settings that slides up, 3D icons, an updated Safari browser, and multitasking support for all apps (Android has long supported this, but Apple has held off due to battery life concerns it says are addressed by various tricks). Also: iBooks and Apple Maps apps are coming to Mac OS, and Apple is launching a Google Docs alternative called iWork for iCloud. (previous) (live blog) (webcast[View news story]
    Apologies for my earlier remarks that were reported and deleted. I was very disappointed at what Apple released (my expectations were too high) and described as much using very poor terms that in hindsight were crude, insulting, and inflammatory.

    The broker executing trades on behalf of the account holder does indeed affect the facts. It explicitly shows who is in charge---the investor. They made the choice/decision. Your mischaracterizations are contrary to the truth here and I object to such. Everything is transparent yet you do not seem to appreciate that FACT.

    Your assumptions are increasing exponentially with every argument you respond to. With each such increase, your rationality decreases and your bias increases. Obviously, I disagree with your reasoning. Let's leave it at that and part ways on this.

    This implies they read the articles completely and not just the part about successful trades, so:

    Revision to 4.

    4. Go and subscribe to Terry Tips and sign up for auto-trading with an account and small test balance compared to their overall portfolio. While also knowing full well from the article that trades can work against them.

    With regards to the rest, if they are that whimsical with managing their portfolio, can they as an investor really expect a positive outcome regardless of strategy they may pursue?

    Listen, what about the words "test portfolio" and being an auto-trader is not understandable here. By definition, setting up either is a conscious and voluntary act. If you didn't want that, then enter the trades yourself---or not. Either choice is conscious and voluntary. You are creating implications where none exist.

    Why would you ever allocate 100% of your bankroll to a particular strategy? The answer to this rhetorical question is that you would not. And obviously, if you read the article, no such advice is being given.

    Allocating some small amount of your total bankroll to a portfolio for testing of a thesis or strategy however is, contrary to your depictions, quite prudent. I believe that is exactly what the author intends. Testing of thesis and strategy is the only way to learn and eventually become more successful as an investor.

    Is it me, or do you guys not read for comprehension? Travel lighter, lose the baggage.

    Then you wouldn't be pursuing option investing would you?

    There's some in every bunch. What kind of returns would you expect is the better question? I doubt any answer would suffice.

  • Apple Could Destroy Xbox One With An iTV [View article]
    Thank you for publishing and sharing but I completely disagree with your article. If you invested in Microsoft solely due to gaming, then you should rethink how you formulate such thesis. Also, iTV is not even in the same ballpark with respect to hardware capabilities of Sony, or MS gaming consoles for comparisons to be made.

    I suggest revisiting the whiteboard and reexamining the corporate roadmaps to get a clearer picture of the convergences involved here and where they overlap (and more importantly, where they don't) for Sony, MS, and Apple to clear your thinking.

    Overseas production is not about tax code. It's about trade agreements and cost of labor.
