Hearing Jeff Bezos will be selling more than books and his Amazon Co. is a worthwhile flier.

    Beyond Meat. The world will get used to the texture and the taste will be essentially the same. Don't know if they are the winner, but right now they have first mover advantage.

    Is IBM bigger than Apple?
    While IBM is one-tenth the size of Apple, it's still very large ($119 billion) and has been struggling to get bigger.Dec 23, 2019


    Still blows my mind. IBM was at the table with Michael Corleone in Havana along with the other giants. They tried to swallow Bill Gates and crush Apple and ended up one tenth the size

    They had 81% share of business machines and computers at one point

    A buddy of mine was talking about whether it's a good time to get into Tesla today ...

    I don't think it's a huge shock to think that picking a good winner or two in the clean energy Olympics will be a huge asset to a portfolio ...

    But I'm a little hesitant to endorse electric cars at this point and Tesla in particular ... strikes me as a high price point and distance limitations make it highly niche to me at this point ... more intrigued about what possibilities they may have if they aggressively expand their presence in solar power with residential/commercial buildings.

    Seattle has the 1st and 3rd most valuable companies in the World and we’re pissing it all away.
    4 of the top 50 market cap companies reside in the Seattle area at this point

    I bought on the plummet. No one told me "don't catch a falling knife." Live and learn.

    I almost moved back from Texas to take a job at WaMu months before it all went under
