All I really want to know is Nokia stock going to go up? Just bought some at $3.27.

 

To hell with Samsung, Apple, Blackberry, Dell or IBM.

 

 

To be honest @@Shamu, seeing this (http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one/) makes me want to look at HTC stock.  But the market is a crapshoot, so you gotta make that call based on the indicators that trip your fancy.  As for Apple stock?  Well, all the money I've put into Apple stock has seen some pretty solid gains.  Unfortunately, the death of Steve Jobs and the iPhone 5 debacle has left the stock beaten pretty badly.  But I still think they can pull it out.  Personally, I'm not a fan of the way they do business, but there's an entire universe that seems smitten by it.  That's all I need - a starving crowd.

I have the HTC Droid DNA, so far so good.

 

As for stocks I really invest very little in stocks and mostly invest in Vanguard ETF's, Of course saying "very little" is subjective. In NOK I invested about $5,500.00 @ $3.27 which was money sitting in a money market wasting away after some other transactions I had made. I did make a very nice penny in OPK, in at 4.50 and out and 7.50 when it hit my stop-limit a few days ago. Perhaps should have stayed in, I still like it but it has slowed down. All of this is money I consider recreational, my form of gambling. Do not gamble what you cannot afford to lose.

 

Stocks like Apple and what is happening now are a real hard call. Knowing when to sell and not be greedy may be the hardest thing to do in playing stocks.

 

My miss of the year is FB which I seriously considered buying at 18 back in Sept. I probably would have sold at a nice profit. I was just chicken and lacked enough knowledge to make the play.

Maybe, but if it does get back over $4.00 that will be almost a 20% profit.

 

It's all about percentages, if I beat the banks I am happy.

 

So far this year I am very happy. :thumbsup:

In my experience as an IT guy...

 

Any antivirus or antimalware software package can be circumnavigated by dumb idiots that don't know how to browse safely. I'm talking about the people who fall for the CLICK ME!!! 

 

And on the flip side... I've never used an antivirus or antimalware package and I've never been infected. I do occasionally reinstall my OS. But that's just what you have to do with windows to keep it running fast. I don't really mind though, I like the clean slate.

As I have occasionally asked before, in-game. does the fact that XI runs "adult" servers mean that players are all naked?

 

Or does my poor kdr mean I am shivering? :question:

Not so fast there, PingLo...

And here's a database of 21,557 Mac exploits.  You're not as safe as you think.

(btw, why is the @mention feature not available on your profile?)

 

I am safe, my clients are safe, but safety and security are relative things.  I love every article about this stuff it makes things much better for what I do on a daily basis.  Both Obama's and McCain's Mac's were hacked by the Chinese during that election, but you won't hear much about it.

 

An extremely motivated entity with vast resources can compromise many consumer level items.  For the rest of us we are reasonably secure in this space with the right tools.  Kind of like:  "I'm going to lock my door, but someone can easily shoot me through the wall of my house but they probably won't" type of thing.
