Google Now, Influency, And Too Much Information ‘Out There’

Google Now Adds Stock Quotes, Knows Too Much About You

Uh-Oh.

A few years back, I took a flyer buying stock in a company with what appeared to be pretty good prospects, trading at a low enough price that I was able to buy a large position without investing a tremendous amount of money.

That investment didn’t work out very well. As you can see, AVTI has been relegated to the NASDAQ “pink sheets”; the place where stocks with incredibly low share prices go to die.

Your Facebook Stock is Tanking? Here’s Why.

Now you have it . . . and now you don’t. Facebook is a publicly traded company. Mark Zuckerberg and a few of his close pals are officially gazillionaires. You, sadly, are not.

Here’s why:

The stock market is fixed. No, I’m not saying that the game is dirty or being run by cheaters (although . . . ), but that very smart people being guided by well-programmed computers know how much of what’s going to happen will go down long before it ever does.

Microsoft, Batteries, eReaders, and Stock Valuations

Yesterday, Microsoft created a joint venture with Barnes & Noble. The new company, named—I’m not kidding—NewCo, will own and operate Nook, the eReader that Barnes and Noble sells to compete with Amazon’s Kindle (there are others, but frankly the eReader wars are already over; Nook and Kindle are the only two combatants that matter).

The fact that Microsoft bought their way into the eReader market isn’t much of a surprise. Microsoft’s been branching out from their declining Windows-and-Office business for a while now, and spending some of their considerable cash hoard getting into alternate markets is a great move. Maybe Microsoft can stave off irrelevancy, after all. Batteries? eReaders? Why not?
