price is what you pay, value is what you get. it cost 19b, doesn't mean it's worth 19b. intrinsic value is the amount of future cash flow the business will generate discounted to present value. projected earnings must be measured

tldr if the spread between the cost and sale price is small, fees eat up a larger portion of the proceeds.

it might be something as simple as the name, BugMuncher, which is unappealing IMO. Munching doesn't have a positive connotation, and munching bugs really sounds bad. you might take a weekend to do some rebranding and push through with

I've heard of that. PayPal also has Bill Me Later, and there are niche players like Kabbage. They're all still a ways off from full scale banking operations like JP Morgan Chase. The big banks are nearly as large as Google in Mark

There is differentiation between banks. This is from forbes: "Also Wells Fargo’s average cost of deposits at 0.35% was the lowest in the industry and half of the peer average of 0.70% in 2010 making its cost of funding the lowest in th

This article is horseshit. Just because some random sees google/amazon disrupting other industries doesn't mean they'll disrupt banking too. Not saying it couldn't happen ever, but it has the same basis as saying google

A bit of interesting trivia - I knew I recognized the COO Philip Walton who has his picture near the bottom of the page. He's been on TV and in the news because his wife is a survivor of the Westgate mall massacre. Small world... http

This is great. Hats off to you sir. I've come to the conclusion that some people are wired the way they are, and there's no changing them. It's also like Buffett says (don't remember the actual quote): either Graham&#x27

This article is lame. I'm an IBM shareholder, and I want as much good news as the next shareholder, but the conclusions the author draws are absurd. He mentions Jeff Bezos' wife's review of that book to discredit Amazons mark

Keep telling yourself revenue matters without profits, and see if that lasts another 10 years. 60% growth after ten years but no profits? The only 'type' of company that is, is a loser. Some would argue even Amazon has an unsustai

GAAP earnings == earnings in the context of the parent posts. Just because you slap a fancy acronym in front of the word "earnings" doesn't make it any different. However, revenue != profit. And, a 1% profit margin is pretty

Another major problem I have with the Datastore deprecation is the precedent it set. Datastore was a GA feature AFAIK. So, there's no real distinction between GA and experimental now. If something doesn't work out for Google, ex
