Dell: Growth Rate Accelerating as Private Company / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Bloomberg
CEO and founder Michael Dell spoke with Bloomberg TV anchor Erik Schatzker at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York yesterday.
Dell said that since going private, "I think about 20 percent of my time has been freed up." He said, "You think about all of the time spent dealing with governance and preparing for investor activities and dealing with various shareholder requests… This can be quite distracting, right, if you try to grow a business."
On whether more public companies should go private, Dell said, "I've had quite a few of them contact me and ask me about how we went through the process and what it was like and that sort of thing. It certainly wasn’t an easy thing to go through the process, once we got through it, it's been a lot easier managing the business as a private entity." On the companies who have contacted him for advice on going private, Dell said, "Some in Dell's size range, some a little larger, quite -- a lot more smaller than Dell. But I'd say more than 10."

Innovation Sparks Wealth Creation / Companies / Technology
By: Harry_Dent
Most people almost always reject radically new things or ideas at first. Ask Galileo or Jesus. That’s why it takes extreme personalities to take the necessary risks and to persevere against all odds, criticism and rejection.

By: Money_Morning
kdowdle writes: A happy belated Thanksgiving to you all.
If yours wasn’t happy, just think – it could have been a lot worse. You could have been the turkey and gotten slaughtered, like the turkey in this tale I’m about to tell you.
It’s a tale of two birds of a feather, one a greedy, fat butterball stuffed with gibberish and ripped-off profits.

By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: “Business culture in the banking industry is favoring, or at least tolerating, fraudulent or unethical behaviors.”
That’s what Ernst Fehr told reporters in a telephone interview this week.
Fehr is an economist at the University of Zürich in Switzerland who co-led a study about business behavior.
Fehr’s study proves what we’ve all long knew – but it wasn’t the only piece of news last week that demonstrates the crookedness of bankers.

William Patalon writes: When I earned my MBA from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) back in the mid-1990s, my focus was finance and investing.
But it was a management professor who clued me in to some of the best ways to "look past the numbers" and understand what really makes a big company tick.
The professor, Janet C. Barnard, retired a few years back and, sadly, passed away in 2012.

Dr. Kent Moors writes: I’ve never subscribed to the idea that we need a silver bullet to replace crude oil.
I’ve always believed the better solution would be to develop a working balance among sustainable and exchangeable energy sources.
Today, we have contributions from renewables like solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, and even wave and kinetic power, to complement the energy we create from crude oil, natural gas, nuclear, and coal.

By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: One of my favorite truisms of investing is that you’ll make the most money on the biggest innovations.
That sounds obvious. However, it also calls to mind Rule No. 2 in my five-part Tech Wealth Secrets system – “Separate the signals from the noise.”
The noisemakers in the mainstream tech media are obsessed with the latest mobile gadgets and the smallest memory storage devices. However, the biggest innovations – our “signals” -are happening in software.

By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: Oil prices are heading lower, folks. The benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) broke down to the $75.00 level last Thursday, as shown on the chart below, and could be threatening to take a run towards $70.00. Even the thicker Brent Crude oil prices (shown by the dark green line in the below chart) are not that much higher. And that’s worrisome if you are an oil producer.

Thanks to a perfect storm of low oil prices, economic sanctions put in place in response to the crises in Ukraine, and capital flight, Russia's been forced to capitulate by abandoning its currency peg.
It's all reminiscent of the financial attacks on Iran and its currency.

By: DailyWealth
Dan Ferris writes: I recently received an interesting note from one of our customer service representatives...
What should a customer do with IBM? IBM is dropping... so should he still buy? Have you taken the drop into account? What do you recommend as the next action? The customer feels like you have been misleading with reports... Have you taken this into account? – Regarding paid-up subscriber B.H.
