I do not get what you suggest. You could perhaps argue that by trying to sell ebooks at a loss, Amazon wants to lock you in to the Kindle. But the Kindle is not without competition and not overpriced. And to support your argument you would need to measure innovation somehow.

Thx for the congrats, You find many traders supplement their trading income by running a service, doing seminars, or becoming talking heads on shows like Fast Money. The stable income definitely helps in difficult markets.

Trading is an activity that generates much pressure and stress because of the great uncertainty and the risk of losing money. I think it's good idea to supplement this activity with other sources of income even if they are related to the markets.
Anyway, happy anniversary!

Trading is not a game of perfectionist. No one can be a perfect timer always all the time.
We need to give space and have to make our system considering that we are not super timers.

Useless post. In 28 years of trading there are no market timers. none of the manny I have followed were correct on any consistence basis. Check timer track who follow hundreds of traders and services. you can't find one who is consistent over any long term period.

you either have a system that works for you or you don't. The ones who have working systems you never hear from or about.

Along those same lines, Bobby Knight said, "Everybody has the will to win. To be successful, you need the will to *prepare* to win."

I like that, either selection criteria is faulty or the market is flawed.

Google, Microsoft, iPhone and many powerful companies faces growth struggle in past three recession years of 2007.2008.2009. But I am sure now the business in these large enterprises is grown because recovery period is begun in economy.

Will be interesting to see whether Apple gets more aggressive on the M&A front going forward - I suspect they will and this deal makes sense for all the reasons you suggest. Great post Michael.

Re: A Simple Qualitative Tool to Add to Your Investing Tool Kit

There are many ways to skin a cat. I am a momentum / trend trader. Valuation is not important to me. I'm more concerned with revenue & earnings growth and if there is an underlying catalyst that's likely to drive stock movement (like adoption of mobile computing).

This has been one of the most difficult markets I have experienced including 2008, but believe me I understand what this is all about. This is the way I eat. This is not a hobby...

I agree about the Macro but I also think your investing approach should incorporate a bit more balance along a value approach with a bit less risk, expecially in this environment. When the macro is negative your way of investing is a setup for tremendous downside which would be hard for even the most steadfast believer to maintain. You seem to pay little mind to price to sales ratios, i.e. armh, sina, arun rvbd. Profitability also seems a second class citizen, as does cash and free cash flow. Your concepts are great, your writing terrific, and how can one not admire you for putting your stocks out there for public review. But at the end of the day its about making money.

4/15 - that was eons ago. I dumped that trade at a loss. I have tried it a few times since with no luck. The Macro is trumping everything, but maybe this time will be the charm...

What about your 4/15/11 buy of tibco? Are you averaging down or did you sell out at a loss? At the time, based on my metrics, I thought it was an expensive stock.
