Qualcom Snapdragon: a superchip that powers fastes Android phones

Qualcom Snapdragon: a superchip that powers fastest Android phones

QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM) is a great company.

QCOM reached had 50% market-share on smartphone APPS processor market in 2012. QUALCOMM chips power Apple iPads, iPhones and most Androids, Samsung Galaxy S2 included.

It should be no surprise to anybody to know that QCOM revenue grew 40% in a year and earnings went up 20%.

So why is this healthy fast growing company priced on a forward price on earning of 15? Easy to answer: a small company, ARM, owns the technology that Qualcomm uses. Qualcomm is after all a manufacturer of ARM chips.

Today I sold 161 EBAY shares @ $34.57. I made $5565.77. This way I brought back home all the cash I had spent over the years to buy 222 EBAY shares at an average price of $ 25.138 each.

Now I have all my dollars plus 61 free EBAY shares worth $ 2135. I had done the same in the past, so I already had 10 free EBAY shares.

So I am an happy owner of 71 FREE EBAY SHARES!

EBAY CEO John Donahoe IS IDIOT: IT IS OFFICIAL NOW. BTW… MEG WHITMAN is idiot too May 10, 2011

Colorful Ebay

Plain facts that anybody who is not an idiot can understand:

  • Ebay bought fast growing Skype at $3.1 B bargain price.
  • Skype continued to grow its user base, revenues and earning because it offers great services.
  • Today Microsoft wants to buy  Skype for $8.5B
Anybody who is not an idiot would have banked those nice $5.4 Billion appreciation.
But Ebay’s CEOs are idiots. This how the managed to blunder the easiest deal of their lives:

Risky bet on Ren Ren right after IPO. The Chinese Facebook is already on a rollercoster. May 6, 2011

This is how I just gambled $ 972 on a crazy IPO on Ren Ren, a young company which supposedly should be the Chinese Facebook:

Symbol RENN Quantity 50 Shares
Date of Order0 5/04/2011 Time of Order 12:54 PM
Executed Price $19.33 Commission $4.95
Total for this Execution $-971.45

I did it this crazy bet for several reasons:

  1. Creative Maths… If  Baidu : Google = RenRen : Facebook , then $51B : $173B = x : $50B and x = $14.7B. If Renren reaches a Market Cap of $ 14 B, it means the stock has gone 10 times up (more…)

Buy what China wants… I’m buying Potash (POT) because my guess is: China wants food! December 6, 2010

Potash mine

Potash mine

This is how I ended up on Potash (POT):

  1. At first I looked at tractors. John Deere looked like a nice bet. They just raised their dividends and it yields nice
  2. Then I did wonder… do Chinese want John Deere Tractors? Not only I found out they don’t. I even discovered many American farmers are turning to Jimna Chinese junk. Jimna tractors are less expensive. I see John Deer in some potential competition trouble. I also fond out John Dere has debts equal to a yer worth of sales. So I decided to loo further.
  3. As I usually do  when I want to invest in a certain industry, I looked how ETFs are composed. I found MOO Agriculture ETF. P0tash (POT) is their first holding, second is John Deere. Potash composes 10% of MOO ETF. (more…)

5 minutes a go I sold 15 MCD shares at  USD 79.7 each. I made a total amount of $1195. It is a bit more than the $1111 I had spend on Apr 20, 2009 when I bought 20 MCD McDonald’s Corporation shares at $ 55.35 each.

I am now an happy owner of 5 free MCD shares.

Just bought 8 SSU (Samsung) shares at EUR 194,95 each November 16, 2010

Samsung is Apple’s only serious competitor

I bought 8 SSU (Samsung) shares at EUR 194,95 each. I did that because:

  • I am buying a Samsung TV.
  • The big spenders I know are either buying Samsung or Apple smartphones
  • Samsung invests hugely in Research and developement
  • Samsung stock is fairly priced

Etrade sucks: international customers are charged double commissions! A ripoff that isn’t written anywhere on their website. I will transfer my Etrade account. October 19, 2010

One Way to go is AWAY FROM Etrade: Etrade is the only online broker that charges international customers DOUBLE COMMISSIONS ($19.99)

 

It is official: Etrade lies on their commissions. On http://www.etrade.com they say commissions is $9.99. They don’t say anything about double commissions ($19.99)  for international customers for the same trades that cost US customers $9.99 This is the official statement by Etrade staff of their ripoff:
