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…

So the world is once again on fire!  Europe’s situation is terrible.  But the American numbers are terrible as well.  And while most of the “chatter” on “the-street” is that our troubles can be attributed to Europe, the truth is that alot of these reports are reporting data that pre-dates Europe’s latest worries.  [...]]]>

So the world is once again on fire!  Europe’s situation is terrible.  But the American numbers are terrible as well.  And while most of the “chatter” on “the-street” is that our troubles can be attributed to Europe, the truth is that alot of these reports are reporting data that pre-dates Europe’s latest worries.  So what should you do?

Well traders should do what they always have done, focus on your system and remain conservative and patient with your strategy.  If your strategy doesn’t help you navigate volatile markets…….you can try ours!
Investors should put there money with a reputable company or somebody that knows the markets….really.  Not just the sales guy.

If you invest long term you must really pay attention to what history says.  This is how I know that the market would start to sell off in April!.  Should you buy now? I wouldn’t! There is more down side to come………why try to catch a falling knife? Go with the trend.  Better yet look to recent history.  This EXACT same thing happened last year at the EXACT same time.  So look for some form of quantitative easing if things continue on last years trend.  We’ve seen this movie before………so make money on it!!

Futures Traders: Look for trades to be early.  May be easier to spot trades in the European market hours.  However, you should also note that today Monday and Tuesday are holidays in Europe so you won’t have the normal volume.  Til Wednesday.  But Bernanke speaks on Thursday and the International report is on Friday, so the market will slow to a crawl near mid morning. Watch for the whip-saw!

Quote: When panic is in the air…………………take a deep breath………and         Think!

Until later…………Trade responsibly my friend.

I was asked by a reader if I would invest in Apple or Facebook……and why?  The answer to this question is simple. I would rather invest in Apple, why? Because they sell stuff for a profit.  I don’t want anyone to think that I am trashing Facebook.  But there is a misconception out there.  The saying is “invest in things you know”.  But I feel it should be……”invest in things you know will make you money”!! Just because you like something doesn’t mean that you’re going to make money from the stock.  Sure, Zuckerburg is viewed as a silicon valley prodigy along with Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs.  All three have products that are widely loved and even depended on all over the world.  All three focused completely on the user’s experience, rather than the stock price and the share holders.  They simply made awesome products!!.  The difference is, for Apple and Microsoft, focusing on the customer increases revenue……because they’re not just users, they’re buyers!!!  And as GM clearly stated when they discontinued their ads-contract with Facebook, focusing on the customer doesn’t do crap for those who are trying to sell stuff to the user.  I mean, when was the last time you bought something because you saw an ad on Facebook? Besides, do you even look at the ads?Furthermore the model is fundamentally flawed because one major reason people like Facebook is because they DON’T have a bunch of ads jumping all over the screen.  This is why Apple and Microsoft stock is fundamentally superior to Facebook. For Apple and Microsoft, ad or NO ad, a happy customer produces a happy stock holder!!

What the heck is going on with Mark Z.  Actually, Zuckerburg is straight.  He made billions. Got married.  Congratulations, etcetera etcetera.   But the stock man! What the heck is going on with the stock!!  It’s a dud, by any measurement.  But what are the implications? Being one of the biggest IPO’s in history, you are sure to have a lot more scrutiny over any future IPO that is NOT making money.  Personally, I feel it doesn’t help when the CEO is adamant on telling people how much Facebook is not going to change.  YOU DON’T MAKE ANY MONEY SON!! (revenue , that is).  YOU HAVE TO CHANGE.  This is the ONLY reason to legitimately invest in FACE BOOK,  In hopes that is will eventually SELL SOMETHING!! So you gotta come off of the lingo-dude.  And sure, there were glitches and mishaps By NASDAQ that took place and had some affect on price action.  But that was soooooooo YESTERDAY.  The stock action was terrible at the IPO and it’s out right embarrassing today.   Well not to Mark because…well, he made Billions.  But you know what I mean!!  So at bargain prices, is it a buy??  Again, I will step out on a lem and say….ABSOLUTELY NOT.  Why? There is NO-WAY at company can live up to the expectations placed on Facebook.  Even if they make money, they will never live-up to expectations. Even if they tried!  Which brings me too the biggest point.  Mark says openly in so many words “that he doesn’t give a heck”, he wants FaceBook to remain the same…….AND I BELIEVE HIM!!
