The tablet form factor is about to get very very interesting. Lenovo just made a bunch of announcements on new devices including a tablet. I looked at the specs of the tablet and have to say I am impressed. But what impresses me even further is the price: > Like the Skylight, Lenovo’s asking for...

Patrick in my blog entry on the bubble asked: > At times like this would you consider writing puts on stocks you might want to pick up should they retrace 25-50% of the rally? Quick answer: No… Why? Because it costs too much. In addition to my contrarian investment strategy I sell premium. And what...

I have been way, way to long from writing this. But the reality is that I really did not know what to say because I was confused and perplexed about the market. Today when I watched Cramer I finally decided to take the bull by the horns and release all of my predictions that I have been writing...

I think 2010 is the year where we might see a dramatic change in how the world sees the US. And this year it all depends on the voters and the Fed.

I replied, “we are basically not ignoring it because we are experiencing climate change first hand.” Yesterday it started...

I am right now about 72% cash or cash like instruments. When I hear about all of these upgrades and how things are going to get better, and better, and better I just shake my head and say, “folks we are in a bubble.” Yes, yes the market keeps melting up. But I recently did a scan of contrarian...

I just read the news from WSJ on the iTablet. My wife wants to buy an AirMac, and I have an iPod Touch and am about to buy and iPhone. Recently I had a Powerbook. But I will not be buying an iTablet. Why? Cost! At a 1,000 USD it is simply to expensive as a secondary device. My wife has a netbook...
