Every time I read a story on how bad Sony is doing, I feel there is something fishy happening inside the company at the corporate level (and not at the production level). Sony's products are by far the best, yet they have been losing money consistently...
If you have checked AAPL's stock today, then the thing you would have noticed (other than the stock dropped 3%) is that it has this cute little blue square that looks like a "D" (for dividend). Yes, you're right, Apple paid a dividend today for the second...
Unless you have slept through the day yesterday, I'm sure that you were annoyed, as much as anyone else, with the news all day on Facebook becoming public. The IPO, to say the least, was disappointing to Facebook executives, as the stock closed just 0.61%...

But why is Rovio not a public...
I have warned against buying GRPN back in August of last year. Back then, I have explained that Groupon cannot sustain the hefty customer (who may or may not be loyal to Groupon - after all, this is a coupon business, where customer loyalty is nearly 0)...
One of the stocks that I made a lot of money with is IMAX. IMAX, in case you don't know, is a Canadian company which provides a unique theatrical experience (I wasn't impressed myself, and I thought watching an IMAX movie was painful, regardless on how...
