I placed a small bet for a precipitous drop in Facebook. Dec put, strike price $ 10. FB is currently 19.

Check out ZAGG. Glad I don’t own it anymore. Wow. CEO runs off amidst margin calls!

guess who fortuitously purchased some ZAGG last week?! Probably the worst timing I’ve ever had investing, but sometimes that’s how it goes. Luckily, I only bought a few hundred shares, so things could be a lot worse.

FB goes up and down 1-6 percent on a daily basis.. Being on the wrong side wouldnt be fun at all.

I dumped my FB today for lunch money. There’s more selling to come, and I don’t see Zuckerberg changing out his hoodie anytime soon.

Ugly Dell’s truth:
Consumer revenue -22% Y/Y, much worse than FQ1’s 12% drop. Public revenue -6%, large enterprises -3%, SMBs -1%. Enterprise solutions/services (boosted by acquisitions) was up 6%, with servers/networking up 14%. But notebooks -19% (clearly losing share), desktops -9%, software/peripherals -9%. Revenue drops in all geographies. Gross margin of 21.6%, up 30 bps Q/Q and down 90 bps Y/Y.

AMZN options seem to be relatively cheap. :innocent:
We’ll see if I add new downside hedges in the next few days.

Thanks, Steve. -
With Yelp’s recent pullback and the fact they are they are suppose to be integrated into iOS 6, I couldn’t resist adding a few speculative shares today.

Tim Cook: iPad is 91% of all tablet web traffic. I don’t know what these other tablets are doing.

Windows 8 is not going to reverse this trend. Enterprise will avoid it like the plague, at least for the first 12-18 months, and possibly beyond.

Has anyone considered the impact on Microsoft with this verdict? how about Nokia? MSFT didn?t do much after hours, but I have to believe that the boyz in Redmond are licking their chops over this. This could be the opening they are looking for, and the timing looks to be good for them with a launch around the corner..
I might be opening a position on MSFT Monday morning in my Non- AAPL portfolio? maybe even NOK..

The only way to change the perception, is to change the reality.

I can’t support any bullish sentiment on MSFT. Windows 8 train wreck is bigger than any hope for Windows phone for several months.

MSFT up a notch. AMZN, FB and GOOG in the red. Dell is flat but was red a bit.

+1. I just don’t see upside to MSFT with “Baller” at the helm. Windows 8 will be a dud. Mobile is becoming an alternative to Android, but a small one nonetheless.
