Having just been stopped out of my RIMM (Blackberry) stock position, I can’t wait to try out the products of the companies that may make me stop out of RIMM, the product. Motorola and Nokia have the money and global reach to stick it to RIMM if their products really work. The Motorola Q sure …

From "Cold calls" to "Cold emails" – Revisited
While watching my Sun’s get thumped last night, at least I had a notion reinforced. The “Cold Call” is so 1980. Mark Cuban was talking (SHOCKER) about how he checks his voice mail every 2 months, but his email every 2 years! What people need to read and hear about is how to execute the …
Apple MacBooks – Computer candy for 8-year old girls and their Daddy's will PAY!
I bought the new white MacBook today. What a powerful little toy. I figured it would be perfect for my trips back and forth to Toronto – good battery life, easy to carry, small and loaded with what I need. Too bad my daughter stole it! She has an eMac in her room, but seeing …
Weekend Linkage
The resurrection of Al Gore – a great read from Wired . More on the environmental topic in the New York Times and discussed from a venture point of view from Fred Cool Maoxian saves me reading Barron’s every weekend with his recap. Thanks dude. Maoxian also caught this classic IRS behavior. God help us …

I have been searching for a cool tool for reviews. Last week I found it and even got to insert it into my blog with a simple cut and paste. Yelp.com is the best total idea I have seen . There are many vertical markets it can deploy and I visualize lot’s of opportunity for …
Enron – the Stepping Stone to CHINA
CNBCheese was commenting how about the Lay and Skilling sentence being the end of an era marred by sloppy accounting and dealmaking. Good point – ass pukes. Enron was a stepping stone. As the bankers see it, the one flaw in Enron was that it was too small. THEY COULD BE ALLOWED TO FAIL. While …

Web 2.0 bubble or Saudi stock investor? I'll take Web 2.0!
I despise bubble talk. I despise even more the former bubble babies using the term. Shut up! If you sit in front of a computer all day drinking Jolt and looking at lame social networking ideas and than talk to the same 100 people on Technorati – yes – YOU SEE A BUBBLE. Have a …
Greed knows no boundaries.
Saudi Markets are down 50 percent over the last few months. Let’s visualize the Dow dropping over 5,000 points over 60 days. Take a read of some of the related articles in this link and you will see the same behavior that precedes every crash . Easy credit margin, massive public participation, stupid economic projects. …
