I tested by placing a limit order at a high price (I don't intend to sell now) and it said to call Fidelity representative. Did you try calling them?

Thanks, but I was wondering what regulation prevents access, especially since there are no restrictions in investing in the company (as far as I know).

I was trying to access https://www.trig-ltd.com/ A pop up prompted me to select the country and was redirected to a no access page. "The materials displayed on this website are not directed at or accessible by persons in the United States, or persons resident or located in Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa or any other jurisdiction where the extension of availability of the prospectus and the materials to which you are seeking access would breach any applicable law or regulation." As far as I know, there are no restrictions to investing in this company for residents of these countries. Does anyone know what law or regulation prevents access to the documents on this site for the residents of the above countries? Thanks.

The multiple expansion is probably justified by low interest rates, even though the growth has slowed.

However, I am not going to get a 5% discount on products if I use bitcoin. In some states, it is illegal to have a different pricing for credit card transactions. So, if I have to pay an extra 4-6% anyway, why not get cash back and purchase protection ? Again, what's the consumers' incentive here to switch to bitcoin ?

I see the value in using bitcoin for sending money to someone living abroad. I also see how this is attractive to sellers. However, I fail to understand what's the incentive for the consumers in everyday transactions. 1) I get 1% or 2% cashback if I use credit card. 2) In order to get bitcoin, I have to pay 1% to coinbase. So, overall, I lose upto 3% on every transaction. 3) If I have a dispute, I can call Amex and get the transaction canceled. Not possible with bitcoin. 4) As per the IRS ruling, I have to keep an account of every transaction, compute capital gains/ losses based FIFO, and file it with tax returns. This could be automated with software, still it is an extra hassle. 5) I have to take currency fluctuation risk.

Yes, it comes with a small stylus like the one in palm pilot. Also, wanted to mention that the integration with evernote is pretty good, with evernote releasing handwriting for Android. http://evernote.com/handwriting/

Samsung Note 10.1 2014 is a great device for reading and taking notes. The screen resolution is better than ipad and it has an active digitizer, which helps in accurate note taking. (The older Note 10.1 had poor resolution). It also has an SD card slot which can be used for memory expansion upto 64GB. There's a bit of learning curve in getting used to the pen, because it has many features. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-10-1-White/dp/B00F3SOJ88

No issues with hsabank. They do charge $3.00 a month unless a balance of $4,925 is maintained with the bank. (that excludes investment account balance maintained at TDA).

Slightly OT: Speaking of moats... Brand loyalty was a way of reducing risk in an information poor environment. Today, with online reviews, the value of brand may not be as valuable as it was before. Does that mean brand name isn't as useful a moat as before ? http://www.newyorker.com/talk/financial/2014/02/17/140217ta_talk_surowiecki
