I have one. I use it. I like it. And most of all I find it to be very useful (I have never monitored and stored my phisiological parameters as easily and effectively as I am doing right now). Cheers, Gio

I have opened a small position in AMZN. I think it is a wonderful business, and Bezos is a wonderful manager (still young and very driven). I am not comfortable with its valuation, but my downside is limited, while I could average down a lot if a correction in price comes. Cheers, Gio

Apple Pursues New Search Features for a Crowded App Store http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-14/apple-said-to-pursue-new-search-features-for-crowded-app-store Cheers, Gio

Yes, disappointing. The way they were hyping the article I though that they had uncovered some actual information. Instead it is a bunch of idiots speculating. Hell, I can do that well enough on my own. I can probably draw a sketch of a more attractive car than what they came up with too. This article had zero value. I thought the idea of the car becoming your personal assistant was interesting and the idea of the augmented reality windshield to be interesting too. Though probably neither of them are new.

Thank you for posting! Cheers, Gio

I have sold my AGN shares, and bought PFE. With relatively small positions in three very diversified healthcare conglomerates (ABT, JNJ, PFE) I hope I have built a relatively large position in an industry that will continue to be essential and profitable for the foreseeable future. Three blue chip stocks that pay good and safe dividends. Now I now that AGN shares will soar of course…! Cheers, Gio

Well, it seems you were right! Cheers, Gio

I like PFE. Actually, I was looking at AGN as a very cheap way to get PFE shares. When they officially announce the deal is over, I will sell my AGN shares and buy PFE shares (hoping they might still be around $30). Cheers, Gio

Apple's Reported 2017 iPhone Plans Could Mean Its 2-Year Upgrade Cycle Is Over http://seekingalpha.com/article/3961497-apples-reported-2017-iphone-plans-mean-2-year-upgrade-cycle Cheers, Gio

At the risk of sounding too predictable, I really don’t care being in the top 1 percent… I work with my own capital only, I don’t depend on anyone else, I love what I do, and I know I’ll be able to take care of my loved ones and at the same time to increase our wealth over time (though of course I have no clue about the rate I’ll increase it). That’s enough for me. And I am saying this in all earnestness! Cheers, Gio

Bezos Prime http://fortune.com/amazon-jeff-bezos-prime/?xid=soc_socialflow_twitter_FORTUNE Cheers, Gio

As far as I am concerned, it is straightforward enough: 1) I must produce more than I consume (how much more depends on the circumstances); 2) I have businesses that give me cash at the end of each month; 3) I use part of that cash to consume and the rest to increase my ability to produce; 4) If I cannot reinvest the cash I don't use for consumption in my own businesses, because they don’t need it, these are the choices I have: a) Invest it in other businesses through the stock market; b) Invest it in some indexes; 5) I usually (but not always) choose a) because I like to follow businesses, because it helps me to keep learning about business, and because I find the process very useful for managing my own businesses better and better; 6) I finally take results as they come (overall they have been satisfactory till now). Cheers, Gio
