General Tablet News - AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, and AMZN
tradevestor replied to VAL9000's topic in General Discussion
The Nexus 10 has 300 ppi (2560 x 1600) resolution compared to the ipad retina display of 264 ppi (2048 x 1536). That's impressive ! https://www.google.com/nexus/10/ -
For any product, I go to Amazon and pick one of the top selling models. This is usually a safe bet. (wisdom of the crowds) http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172648/ I have the Brother HL-2270DW. It is wireless, so I keep it away from the desktop clutter, prints on both sides and is pretty fast. I do not know or care about cost per page, as it is for occasional use for me.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-57511658-233/iphone-5-opens-the-door-for-nokia-samsung/ There's no doubt that the iPhone 5 is going to be a great, fast-selling smartphone, but it's out-innovated by Nokia and Samsung. -
Very informative. How do avoid bid/ask spreads with Interactive Brokers ?

Another great product is Galaxy Note: http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note/case02.html The screen size is slightly larger for a phone, but it has a stylus and can be useful both as a phone and as a tablet.

Anyone here using kindle fire to view sec filings?
tradevestor replied to matjone's topic in General Discussion
I don't have it, but I have played around with it. Here are two suggestions, if you haven't already tried them. 1) Turn off accelerated browsing http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57346852-285/how-to-turn-off-cloud-accelerated-browsing-on-the-kindle-fire/ 2) If that doesn't work, download a different browser - Opera Mini or Dolphin - from the Amazon appstore and try browsing using that. -
Amazon has launched a new ebook lending library service. You need to have kindle device, it won't work on ipad or PC. You can borrow a new book as frequently as once a month with no due dates. The selection is limited, but here are some books in the business/ investing section: Moneyball The big short We are all weird 7 habits of highly effective people Liar's Poker The millionaire next door

Adjusted for a 2 to 1 split, Apple closed at $6.76 on April 22, 2003. That makes it a 60 bagger.

DITM call writing to increase dividend yield
tradevestor replied to Ross812's topic in General Discussion
I don't have experience, but I searched and found this. http://sixfigureinvesting.com/2010/04/dividend-capture-with-covered-calls%E2%80%94too-hot-too-cold-or-just-right/ If you sell deep in the money (ITM) options you may feel you’ve found the golden goose. The calls provide a great hedge, virtually eliminating risk from your position. Unfortunately, your calls will almost certainly be assigned the evening before the ex-dividend day. The owners of the calls are not about to let you get away with collecting dividends with such low risk, so they exercise the option you sold them. Some people use this strategy hoping that their options will not be assigned, and not all are, but in my experience the percentage not assigned is very low. -
The kindle edition is FREE. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TP6B1O/ If you don't have a kindle, you can download Kindle software and read it on PC, tablet, phone etc.

A new android tablet - Notion Ink Adam - expected to be released in late November has a dual mode screen. It has a kindle like screen (the technology used is different) that can be used in sunlight and a normal laptop like screen for other uses.

Buffett on Inflation and Stocks (Part 1)
tradevestor replied to Munger's topic in General Discussion
Munger, Thanks for your reply. While I somewhat understand (and share) most of your concerns, I don't understand a few things specifically: "no one knows the actual tipping point for hyperinflation. So I chose to have a fairly large holding of cash ". This makes no sense to me, can you please explain your reasoning ? If hyperinflation hits, cash will be worthless. Why would you hold cash in a hyperinflationary scenario ? It makes sense to hold real assets during hyperinflation - commodities, real estate, stocks (part ownership of real assets in companies). "...if the currency gets meaningfully debased and the price of everything goes up while salaries remain unchanged " This is a huge assumption. With high unemployment, there's a good chance that salaries won't match inflation rates. However, if currency gets debased 10x, I don't think salary would remain unchanged, it will be more like 8x. Consumer prices would go up 10x, but salary rises only 8x. Result ? Less discretionary spending, lower asset prices, lower standard of living. Earnings and hence, share prices will drop in absolute terms, but measured against currency (which was devalued 10x), it will still be much higher. Wouldn't it ? -
Buffett on Inflation and Stocks (Part 1)
tradevestor replied to Munger's topic in General Discussion
Hi Munger, You make great points, and am hoping to get your thoughts on these. 1. Currently, there are two main, opposing macro events. A rapidly de-leveraging credit bubble (deflationary), and QE2 (inflationary). Eventually, whether we will have deflation or inflation will depend on the difference in magnitude of these two. I believe that deflationary spiral has not played out yet, and there's still more time before housing market stabilizes. That said, I am seeing the effects of inflation in the commodities and consumer market. So, maybe, these forces are affecting different segments differently. 2. In an inflationary environment, the prices of everything goes up as currency is devalued. Wouldn't this raise the (relative) price of the book values (comprised of real assets) of companies ? Wouldn't the stock price reflect that ? Thanks -
For tax stuff from multiple accounts, I have been using Gainskeeper for 8 years or so. Keeps track of options, wash sale etc. I can also import the data directly to turbotax.

How to maximize 70k currently earning 1.5%?
tradevestor replied to schin's topic in General Discussion
How about asset allocation based on index funds (or ETFs) and rebalance every year or so. No guessing, no timing, easy to do. http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Lazy_Portfolios -
