Tech bubble 2.0 baby. I’ve been watching Microsoft for some time. I actually want to own the stock because of it’s massive cash generating businesses and incredible bullet proof balance sheet.  With the lack of growth prospects however, you really have to enter the stock at an attractive entry point.  I’m seeking under $20 / share for an entry point.
In the news today is that Microsoft is buying Skype for $8.5 billion.  They definitely overpaid for the company based on Skype’s fundamentals, but it’s impossible to put a …

Tech land has already had a meteoric rise.  Look no further than the likes of companies like Apple and Amazon which have seen huge increases in share price and market cap.  The most interesting wave, however, of tech news might not even have materialized yet.
The most anticipated companies for possible investors aren’t even trading in the public markets yet.  Who am I talking about?  Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Groupon, etc.  These are the companies that investors are psyched to get in on.

Living in the information age brings a lot of perks. Not only do we have access to plenty of information about investing, finance, accounting, economics, and business (stuff they could have only dreamed about just a few decades ago), we also have the ability to easily launch relatively cheap businesses online.

I’m reading Timothy Ferriss’ latest book, The Four Hour Body.  I don’t really have a special desire to read a book on health, nutrition or exercise, but I like Ferriss’ style and unique ideas on subjects.  I read his first book Four Hour Work Week and I liked it – not because I liked everything in it, but because I liked the way he challenged consensus views on a number of subjects like finances, retirement, careers, entrepreneurship, etc.  While lots of it might be irrelevant, it is interesting because it …

I’ve been working for a while on releasing some case studies documenting the various websites and web strategies I’ve been developing and implementing over the past several years. If you follow my blog, you know I make a couple thousand bucks every month from my online income streams.
