    Bargain Buys For Patient Investors - Barron's [view article]
    Apple not only has 22 Billion in cash but no debt. They are much better off than Dell, whom you equated them with.

    Microsoft, while having 23 billion to Apple's 22 billion in cash, has way too many troubles to list here, and it's low P/E has little to do with the current financial climate but to their many other difficulties.

    Let me list a few of these difficulties. First, they are losing market share in operating systems--very few people want 'Vista' and most who have tried it seem to have had problems with the 'upgrade', losing browser share with a non-internet standards compatible browser, a completely failed internet search division, a non-competitive Zune music player, no online sales strategy for media or software, no online applications software, and a game system selling at deep discount (and financial loss) which has been upstaged by Nintendo Wii.

    Please make sure that when buying into the stock market you ALWAYS set your Protective Exit Strategy from the start. One that will continually adjust itself to the stock's behavior and overall market conditions. Use something smarter than a trailing stop or moving averages. Get smart! Reply

    Good News For Google Investors: YouTube Click-To-Buy Feature [view article]
    It makes sense to me that this is the way that you monetize it, but it's all in the numbers. If Google reports numbers regarding this feature then they will be good and they will have another potential home run on their hands. But if they don't report numbers on it (like Amazon has not reported numbers for Kindle, and Google will probably not report numbers for Android), then the numbers are not compelling. Every time another attempt at making money fails, Google slides further and further into yesterday's news. Google is a lot like Mike Tyson - Tyson was percieved to be unstoppable early on, until Buster Douglas knocked him out. He hasn't won a lot of fights since the Douglas knock out, and each loss since then has continued to deteriorate his reputation as unstoppable. Google was percieved to be unstoppable early on too, until they tried to make money at other things. They haven't won a lot of fights since that first knock out either. And if Android and this attempt to monetize YouTube don't work, Google's reputation will continue to deteriorate as anything more than a one-trick-pony. Reply

    a little more research would have offered the amount of debt that these companies have in relation to their cash position. that makes a ton of difference.

    i only follow one company on your list and their debt is zero.     Reply

    Nine Months Later: Some Annual Predictions from the Financial Press [view article]
    Root Problem: FRE & FNM used up to 100x leverage, AIG & LEH used up to 30X leverage; and that's after the banks used up to 10X Leverage on financial debt. This has to be stopped. The root problem going back to 1912 has to be fixed.

    WWW.GrandfatherReport....

    Richard Fuld, CEO of LEH, admitted to 30x leverage contributing to the problem.

    Now I read on seekingalpha.com about FRE and FNM doing 100:01 leverage on their debt insurance.

    Most investment banks were leveraged by a ratio of 30 to 1, and they were dealing with billions of dollars instead of thousands. Government sponsored mortgage giants Freddie (FRE) and Fannie were using leverage closer to 100 to 1, because of their supposedly stricter lending standards and implicit government backing.

    seekingalpha.com/artic...

    How can "we the people" know the root cause is being "fixed" if we don't know about the root cause. Most of the news is telling us the root cause is a lack of confidence about all those mortgages being paid as agreed.

    And are we sure we understand what happens when 100:01 leverage is applied after the fractional banking reserve requirement is applied? Maybe if this subject needs a spotlight to get people's attention. Then maybe the "lack of confidence" could be better understood.

    Please just remember that if you are going long that you are truly gambling if you don't have your exit strategy in place from the start. And make sure its adjusting to the market as it needs to. Don't rely on a lame trailing stop which is not at all reflective of that stock's behavior and market conditions. Reply
