Apple will adjust pricing based on currency. If the Australian currency is getting weaker it may be because the emerging markets that it depends on are seeing turmoil in their currencies because of the prospect of Fed QE tapering. http:&#x

This is the argument people made against Chip and PIN credit cards yet they are widely used all over the world with no problems. You don't use them, that's cool. But a lot of people do and it works great, and more importantly it&#

I expect Google to write-down Motorola eventually. The patents seem pretty worthless thus far. http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/26/4271432/does-anyone-know-w...

I like the new look. They still need to update the iWork icons though.

There are many investors who have outperformed over long periods of time, they just aren't household names (Seth Klarman is one). What you ascribe to Buffett's success only came late in his career, those opportunities weren't

You alluded to it; my investing philosophy, while highly influenced by Graham, isn't the same as his.

Investors have meetings with management all the time. Unless Tim Cook gave him material non-public information about the company, it isn't illegal.

Whenever this comes up I share this quote from Seth Klarman: “Diversification for its own sake is not sensible. This is the index fund mentality: if you can't beat the market, be the market. Advocates of extreme diversification — which

The investing success of value investors of all kind would not be possible if the premise of his book, the efficient-market hypothesis, was correct. Warren Buffett's track record is a repudiation of it.

I've honestly been surprised by how long the market's dislocation has been on this one. It's not common for a large cap stock that is highly covered by analysts and watched by investors. But the market's fears about Appl

They're being assembled in the US and it's a product for a niche market, of course it's going to be expensive.

Is this a joke? Do you realize many dot-coms went under because of the bubble bursting and not being able to raise money in the capital markets? Venture capital money dried up and they weren't profitable so they had no cash.

Apple's "low cost" phone will still be sold as a premium product and will be priced accordingly, assuming they do it.

I really hope the changes aren't extreme. I'm not a tech geek and I work in finance in a non-technology role (I'm only on HN for my consumer-level interest in tech, and the conversation here is better than other forums like reddit). I am pr

I wonder how cheap every other car manufacturer that has been working on self-driving technology can make it. I also wonder if tech geeks even realize they have been, especially when Google's "self-driving cars" is cited as a reason for Goo
