True, but based on our logic and math, it has to grow 5x to break even. Apparently everyone "knows" it's going to grow 6x soon. It just seems to me there aren't any discounts being applied for risk. While I have no doubt amazon can grow 5x,

While I think Amazon could potentially grow their revenues 5x, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to own something that has to grow 500% to be fairly valued. To me that shows just how absurd their current valuation is. If I have a compan

It's also important to note that aapl has $150 per share just in cash. They actually have more cash than Amazon's entire market cap. If you discount the cash, their PE is closer to 7.

The interesting part about this is everything mentioned was about saving money on things. It sounds like it could destroy a few trillion in revenue. I don't think it is actually worth trillions to google though. (Obviously it could be worth

So far I've done native rewrites. Initially everything was designed specifically for iOS, so when porting I've just gone with native. I may consider some kind of cross platform option for the next completely new app. I haven't decided yet.

I recently decided to port some apps to Android and Windows 8 to lower my Apple only risk. Diversification is good right? It's been a really mixed bag so far. 1 of my apps is doing better than it's iPhone counterpart, the rest might as well

It is a highly educated guess. The point is that he didn't just pull the number out of his ass. Clearly nobody knows the future for certain, and there isn't any way to know exactly how much revenue they are going to have in 2013, but using

Or he could be looking at public guidance given by the company or estimates from wall st. The estimate avg for 2012 is 402 mil. The avg for 2013 is 1.6 bil, with a low estimate of 1.4 bil. I'd say he's perfectly reasonable, and you are bein

I'm not the person you are responding to, but I suspect it is a matter of what is "enough". I suspect living in Manhattan is unnecessary and it is 100% luxury. Spending 1700 a month for a 180 sq ft studio seems beyond idiotic to me. 1700 is

A huge amount of the money it "costs" to be single they get from splitting living costs. Turns out single people can and do have roommates. The next biggest chunk is from taxes saved by being married, using contrived earnings. Turns out, th

That is unfortunate, but I never said you should use debit instead. Though if I remember correctly the study suggest that debit spends more than cash, but less than credit. FWIW I use a debit card most of the time because it is much more co

I would ask him to resign, and if he doesn't he'd be fired. Clearly it won't be good for my business to have these 2 working together. The fact that he's clearly showing bad judgement means it's an easy decision as to which one should go.

Yes you can. He doesn't have to, but I suspect I'd say it's either me or him as working together isn't a good option for anyone. It's bad for both employees, and also bad for the company. Either I quit, or you fire him.

It doesn't matter if the husband was an asshole. If she divorced him and later decided to start a relationship with this guy that's one thing. There is no scenario where it's ok to screw another man's wife, and you have to be a real idiot t
