    Nasdaq: VUZI (Vuzix, Inc.)

    In my opinion... I think that they're going to get bought out. They're in direct competition with Google Glass (see my profile pic :) ). They'd be a perfect fit for one of the Gorillas that wants a quick in to the visual/wearable market. Watch your timing on that put.

    Are corporate charitable contributions public information?

    I did some research, and found an answer. It's not an easy one, but it will give me what I need. Interested party (the "Party") is entitled to view corporate ("Company") tax records, per the following conditions and process. Reference below. Not sure if this is just in the state of Texas; I'm...

    Nasdaq: VUZI (Vuzix, Inc.)

    Examining the essence of their flagship product against major players in the industry makes a lot of sense. False. Any investor doing fundamental analysis will look at the essence of the product offered, including the business model and competitors. There's a nice article about it on...

    Nasdaq: VUZI (Vuzix, Inc.)

    Thinking of taking a swing at this one. PROS: 1. Vision wearables are starting to become relevant 2. Intel made an investment into Recon at this time last year: http://www.reconinstruments.com/2015/06/intel-acquires-recon-instruments/ 3. Google, of course, made a big investment into Glass 4...

    Educational Advice, Please

    Lord, please grant me patience... NOW! :) Yes, I feel like I just jumped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Here I would disagree, if for no other reason than the contacts that I will make. Fully agree. That's exactly what I'm doing: sticking with the "Information Technology" equities in...

    Educational Advice, Please

    Thank you for your helpful and supportive advice. With this, I respectfully disagree. If I'm going to trade, I want to be a "student of the game," and learn everything there is to learn about finance, economics, trading... and whatever else this field has to offer. This comment I do not...

    Dear All, I've been trading full-time for a few months now, and I like it. I dove in with decades of tech experience, which is serving me well. I've been able to profit by carefully evaluating and picking tech winners; however, the minute I leave my happy little tech world, I get crushed. The...

    Nasdaq:SGI - Earnings 8/11

    I had a good feeling about this one... but wow! I studied this company for hours, and really liked what I saw... I guess HP did too! At EOD there were these weird pops in prices... in my earlier post about the pop _before_ the announcement. I felt like they were just daring me to sell, but I...

    Nasdaq:SGI - Earnings 8/11

    Please forgive this n00b question. I don't understand why this would upspike before earnings. Aren't companies supposed to upspike after positive earnings, and/or positive guidance?

    Nasdaq:SGI - Earnings 8/11

    Well, SGI just upspiked. Earnings tonight, and I'm going balls to the wall on this one. We'll see if my first-ever fundamental analysis was correct.

    Trading: Exhausting!!

    No, I don't know all the platforms. I stick to what I know: C++ on UNIX/Linux/Mac (Maybe C++ on Windows), Interactive Brokers, and JavaScript/front-end work.

    Trading: Exhausting!!

    Great question! I've done both front-end (JavaScript) and back-end (C++) work. C++ is particularly powerful and useful for trading applications. I have spent many hours noodling on ways to leverage my coding skills to my advantage in trading. I've come up with these so far: 1. Real-time...
