Getting down to business! What’s up with the new Microsoft Tablet.! The “Surface” as it is called, is Microsoft’s latest invention!!  It comes with window 8 software, usb ports, a hi-resolution screen and a built in key board to handle business effortlessly without buying accesories  ….and all this comes standard! Now this begs the question that we all are just ready to argue about! And of course that question  is………..Miami Heat or the Thunder ? Wait, let’s do that again……Is it an I-PAD KILLER or I-PAD VICTIM !!  I think the answer to this question will have a lot to do with the eco-system rather than the product.  The product is good on the surface (pun intended), but what does it cost? Does it overheat? Comes with a phone?, signal issues, does the software crash.  We won’t know until it hits the shelf and these are crucial questions to determine it’s success.  Regardless, there will never be a I-Pad killer.  At best only an I-Pad suicide.  It would take a technology that has never been seen before to even drop Apple to # 2, which is far from killing Apple.  But lets say that the “Surface” tablet turns out to be excellent? Will not Apple be affected by this.  Yes.  Apple will no longer accumulate the converters from PC to Apple, who did so because 1) they had no viable option and 2) the cool factor.  Now Apple is still going to get their’s, regardless.  I mean there are people walking around with Apple tattoo’s sitting in tents for a week for the phones, tablets and whatever.  They are never leaving Apple.  However, the rest of PC’s who don’t want to learn a new operating system, and definitely will  not stand in a line longer than five minutes will welcome this new tablet with open arms!!   The point is that the two can co-exist as very successful products.  However, this could be a huge problem for the samsung galaxie and the rest of the Android tablet space.  Because non-Apple customers have no loyalty! You won’t see a line extended 3 blocks for windows or android anything.  So if the “Surface” is hot, the rest of the market will have to step their game up BIG TIME!!  Because there is just not enough market share for 2 HUGE companies and the rest.

The markets are up up up!  Why? The environment is calling for more Ben Benanke internvention through the use of Operation Twist or whatever the want to call it.  Regardless, the market is convinced that the Fed is going to step in and boost the American economy once again.   You combine this with the fact the the “good-guys” won the election over in Greece, the market is pricing in all of the up-beat data!  The Fed is meeting ”as we speak”  but the meeting minutes won’t be released til’ tomorrow afternoon so hold on to your seat when this one comes out.  It has alot of eye balls on it.  Personally, I suspect that Ben will release a much less exiting statement than what the market is pricing in, especially as soon as tomorrow!  Either way, for Wednesday’s trading it will be a “live one” early, but then look for a slow crawl until the news is released.  Til then……..Trade Responsibly my friend…
