o my bad, the article i skimmed through for users was estimating android users. 30 mil ios + however many they get from android. gonna be interesting to see how facebook tries to monetize instagram.

well instagram has what 80 million users? facebook makes $4 per user in revenue. 320 million x5 multiple and you get 1.6 billion. a bit of a stretch since mobile users make much less revenue, but i'm sure investment bankers involved in the deal threw out similar numbers. problem is...

is it just me or does that round of financing led by Sequoia a week ago smell kinda fishy? Instagram in the thick of negotiations with Facebook and Google look for a way to up the value of the company. tell Sequoia about their plans and Sequoia walks away with 100% gain within a week.

whats next? they're gonna tax me everytime i take a dump?

might be a bit late on this one

in regards to BAC, i wouldn't buy it but there's a possibility in spin offs. a more proper valuation in that scenerio would be around 9/10 a share. will management have its hands forced to sell off assets? a recession is not fully priced in and looking more likely as more economic data...

hard work and experience. the real key is to never stop working hard and learning. trading is much more than just charts. you also have to master yourself before you can successfully tackle charts.

the government should have just gauranteed interbank lending. they didn't have to resort to these tactics.

well maybe thats why i dont like trading the eur/usd. i'm mostly into yen carry trade pairs.. my understanding is the larger timeframes have more volatility within the bar but smaller timeframes have more volatility over a certain period of time, ie overbought to oversold level. not to...

i'm sure you can find a subset of data where this is true, but over a full year it is not the case. my setups use oscillators on multiple timeframes. i've found the lower timeframes to be almost a random walk a large % of the time (large enough to make the risk/return not worth the effort)...

intraday trading vs longer-term trading results in a much larger pool of potential trades. it really shouldn't even be a debate. even factoring in the amount of bars. the data is smoothed out a lot more on daily and weekly charts.

doesn't really matter what signals you use. a 1 min chart will give off a larger number of possible entries than say a daily chart. there's more erratic movement on lower timeframes.

there are hige differences on different timeframes. more false signals the smaller the timeframe.

if you agree with theory like creative destruction, slumping housing prices are actually a good thing in the long run.

royal bank of scotland got it wrong. it wasn't inflationary pressures that handcuffed central banks, it was that no part of the economy could absorb more debt to help drive growth. liquidity bubble, too much hot money chasing too few hot assets creating misallocations of capital...

the S&P could be higher, which would mean the big drop could come in 2010 just when everyone thinks the worst is behind us. never underestimate stupidity. if this current suckers rally gets some legs and we survive earnings in 3Q, it could mean a nice rally before 2010.

again waving the magic wand will not help the value of the assets. buyers will not step in and banks will have to sit on those same assets and hoard in order to protect against future losses when the defaults pile up. maybe us canadians way up here can buy up these bankrupt banks in a...

the solution is clear. china should buy more US treasuries...

this guy should be on the comedy channel. china got taken for a ride, enjoy your purchase of treasury bonds. maybe china can buy muni bonds to diversify their US holdings...

so who is right and who is wrong? banks overleveraged and overvalued assets. hoping for a recovery in prices could compromise deposits. delaying the bottoming process by changing accounting rules is not going to get toxic assets trading again. default risk doesn't change because some...
