I have received quite a few books to do book reviews, and frankly I have been dropping the ball. BUT no more! I plan on doing regular book reviews. I am not going to do stars or ratings because they are silly. You can’t just say a book is 5 stars if all of your reviews are 5 stars. I will use a...

On Sept 25 I posted a comment on how Linux could be the new threat. Am I still of this opinion? Oh yeah! I am (still) utterly stunned at how good my netbook and my desktop server with GUI executes. Linux and Ubuntu might finally have cracked that nut. I have even found that GNumeric is quite a bit...

On the weekend I had a good talk with a good friend of mine and I asked, “what’s wrong with the US?” He said, “its easy, we are self-delusional.” I asked, “Really how?” He answered, “I sat down with a guy who was retiring from Ford in five years. He said he will be able to retire and enjoy his...

Well, now I do agree the market is getting frothy. When I hear the koolaid going around I naturally become sceptical. Of course I have been cashing out positions and banking my earned monies (Am up 28% from Jan 2008!!!) Essentially I outpaced the S&P, by not having lost any money in the 2008, 2009...

I consider myself more of a Warren Buffett type investor. I don’t trade, even though I could, and prefer holding shares for the longer term. But Warren’s rant against short term traders just does not make sense. > The statement argues that a "healthy society requires healthy and responsible...

Disclosure: Yesterday I unloaded all of my Apple shares With my disclosure you can guess that I think Apple is a sell. While it is a sell for me, it might be neutral for you. Though you might wonder why I sold considering that I have previously said, “Apple, Apple, Apple”. As I have said in the...
