One thing I am not sure about is how much reluctance foreign holders of US treasuries will have to buy more treasuries. My guess is both foreign government and commercial holdings will edge down quite a bit, even without any reciprocal acti

This downgrade is just based on Nokia's current performance which is going to continue to be bad for a couple of quarters. But their balance sheet is solid and looks like the Nokia Lumia 900 phones are getting very good reviews and selling

Well, the one thing I am suggesting for sure is that when I buy a stock in a company, I own a part of the company and as a result own a part of the profit. And I am seriously implying that the managements in tech companies do not necessaril

Well, a manifestation of the main reason I stay away from owning stocks of tech companies. They do not share profits with the stock holders and pretend to know better how to put cash to use, because their current business generates a lot of

The idea is scary at first. But really makes sense once you think about it. I agree, it makes the screening process more human. I know the job market is not good right now for job seekers to be chosers, but if I have to apply with a video,

Do something you like. Life is too short not to spend on stuff that makes you happy. I believe chances are stuff you like will also pay you reasonably. 3 years is a long time to waste chasing a million dollars doing something you do not lik

I think more of such stuff is going to come in coming years. It is just a manifestation of changing economic profile of the world. I believe something similar might have happened at climate talks - http://www.upi.com/Science_News/Resource-

It is very heartening to know that many YC winter 2010 startups are already profitable. Is more information available on profitable YC companies so far? And how they got to cash flow positive.

Now, this is just me imagining. My guess is that part of the tussle with Chinese authorities which Google does not talk about may be demands made on Google for information on individuals. More than censorship, it may be the surveillance as

DHH makes very good points about profit. But he seems to imply that all other startups or majority of them do not get this basic point. He also thinks that 37 signals would be making the same kind of profits 20yrs later. These points do not

What got me is switching buzz off does not disable people following you - you have to individually block people. They did a similar thing with searching through emails - there was no option to disable that feature. It is like Google is sayi

Hmmmmm. This would explain it - but for the fact that dividends are generally supposed to be paid out of profits not out of cash in the bank. Aren't dividends a way of sharing profits with shareholders, not sharing the net worth of the comp

I disagree with the notion that dividends paid lower the share price. Is there a theoretical reason? Or is it observed in practice? I would very much like to learn more about this if you could send pointers. To me this looks more like a dev

by jagjit 17y ago
The tech companies, by not paying out dividends, are in effect telling shareholders that they can invest the profits better than them. This belief I guess comes out in part due to the meteoric profit growth that successful tech companies wi

Entrepreneurship is not limited to doing a tech startup. Also, going on your own is not worthwhile only for people with other comfortable options. It is a pity that a PhD with such high credentials has such a narrow world view. Edit: This a
