Russia's Rising Internet Population [view article]
Bear in mind that the overall potential number of users is much lower than e.g. 82% in Netherlands. A part of the territory may still lack infrastructure for Internet. Lots of people cannot afford Internet or are just busy with other type of problems. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]

Google is going to take over, they are so well positioned now to take advantage of the big shift in advertising spending that is continually moving towards the internet. In franchise marketing we are continually finding that more of our ad spend goes towards the internet. Google will benefit from all of this Internet attention. ReplyHedge Fund Tracking: Blue Ridge Capital (John Griffin) [view article]
Keep in mind that many hedgies have "boxed" positions, meaning that reading the reported filings can send copycats in the wrong direction entirely. Take a position like BARE, NTRI or CROX. Most hedgies have been short these names - openly so in some cases. Just because Blue Ridge shows a long position in BARE doesn't mean it is net long. It could have an equal or larger short position in BARE. Sounds silly to many retail investors to be simultaneously long and short the same stock. Here's some reasons why to box a position: 1) show a long position; get better access to management, though you're really only researching a short. 2) getting stock borrow can be difficult for big short positions in heavily shorted names. Let's say you're short BARE and it plummets in value. You think it may rise again (to where you'd short it again) before going to even lower levels. You buy BARE long after the first decline while maintaining your short position (not "covering," but mathematically pretty similar, with the "carry" being the differentiator). When the stock rises again, you sell your long shares, effectively re-opening your short position. Back the old days of the Uptick Rule for shorting (only short sell on an uptick to avoid freefalls), this strategy also allowed hedgies to short by selling the long shares (no uptick rule) instead of struggling to short in a declining tape.I think the holdings still can give you a feel for what firms like Blue Ridge are involved in, but don't bet the filings are telling you in which direction they're betting.

I, am a chrysler worker here in Canada,cannot talk about the U.S , but I would have to agree with user 218405. A lot of my co-workers and good friends are still waiting for a recall. To conclude dc1 I am not in management, I work in the painting shop.Sorry but the next move from chrysler won t be a recall but to send more workers home indefinitely. I know the economy is bad but over the years,good and bad,the union did not help that sector. They helped me short term but long term it s a different story. A lot of my friends agrre with me but too afraid to voice their opinion,that tells you a lot about the union isn t it? ReplyGoogle Wins the Verizon Wireless Sweepstakes [view article]
VZ defintley needs Google at this point. It's the kind of innovation and freshness the company needs. It will create the kind of buzz they need to compete with the AT&T/Apple alliance. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]
To User 218405:You must be in management. Very even sided comment. Reply

Wal-Mart won't let the unions kill them the way they destroyed the auto industry and education in this country. ReplyTech Giants Facing Dollar Daze [view article]
Google admits they increased US$ revenue on international operations due to favorable exchange rates; the FX gain gave them $60M extra revenue last quarter; but they also hedge their FX exposure to some extent to offset possible declines; most companies hedge their FX exposure to some extent; so it's difficult to forcast how much the FX changes will impact the bottom line. I am surprised though that none of the analysts have nudged down their Revenue and EPS forecasts to take account of potential FX declines over the next 12 months ReplyGoogle's Endless Beta [view article]

Cloud computing you say? Been there, done that. 30 years ago while at university using DEC machines from a dumb terminal. You'll have to pry my quad-code from my cold dead hands! ReplyCloud Computing: More Storm Clouds Ahead [view article]

It's interesting to not see Citigroup and Bank of America listed among the top firms by market capitalization - when they are listed in the top 10 of the 2007 Forbes Global 2000 -- goes to show the effects of the current financial crisis. Interesting to see HSBC and the Chinese Banks not affected to nearly the degree as BofA and Citi.Also interesting to see that almost all the firms are down year to date except Wal-Mart and J&J. (would expect to see a higher percentage of larger firms, which are expected to be more "safe" than smaller firms, holding their own in a down market). Reply
Google and Apple Defy Declining Customer-Satisfaction Trends [view article]
Sorry... I have to disagree.... I rented a mid-compact GM ""something&... in Hawaii... It seats five and had room for luggage... It really was a plasticky poorly made vehicle and suffered pretty bad gas mileage for the week we drove it. Compare that to the Fiat diesel we rented in Italy. No comparison... The Fiat wins hands down... Nor did it spew clouds of black smoke or clank like you have a bad case of rod-knock like American diesels seem to do. In fact it was real peppy and smooth.Then look at engine life expectancy. I was looking at buying a used Mustang, but settled on a used BMW. Why? For the same price I found that the life expectancy of the Mustang engine (based on anecdotal info...) was a little over 100K miles, whereas the BMW would run to 250K miles....And the mileage was better.
I suggest you read the article in Wired where Jay Leno explains what is wrong with American manufacturers.... In essence he notes that American manufacturers penalize buyers for buying a cheap car. As he notes, there is no reason why a cheap car can't also be a quality investment. And, I agree.
