Avastu Blog: Sustainable Global Clouds (2) permalink
Eventually it all comes down to cash and selling power. VMware has been having trouble selling purely because it just doesn't have the kind of DNA and animals in their shops who are as capable of selling the products for recessionary times. Of course, you can sell when the times are good. You can also sell when people are in dire need to replace hardware and want to cut costs, but how can you sell ...Shared by Nick (20)Contribute comment -

Well, those rumors turned out to be false. Actually, HuffPo has raised $25 million from a venture capital firm. Amazing. So what will they do with all this cash?

The Huffington Post has raised 25 million dollars in funding from Oak Investment Partners, claims AllThingsD. According to AllThingsD, this puts the valuation for The Huffington Post at 100 million dollars. It’s a big valuation, and the 25 million dollar round is bigger than the previously rumored 15 million. A question that inevitably still pops up after any news such as this is: “How does this make sense? It’s just a blog!” I, however, don’t ...Contribute comment -

Interest payments occur when you lend someone money and they pay back more than they borrowed. For example, when you deposit money into a high interest savings account, then the bank will give you interest payments for lending them the money. (Note: interest payments also occur when you borrow money, but then you pay interest to the lender.)

十大熱門基金績效 (1)

今天有個朋友敲我，叫我去看看 Yahoo! 奇摩理財裡面，最多人推薦的基金，績效如何。一看之下還真愣住了，二十檔基金裡面沒有一檔是賺的。整理了一下圖表：看來幾乎所有熱門基金的虧損都是在 -40% 到 -60% 之間啊。有幾檔基金或許是因為成立還不到一年，所以沒有年報酬率資訊。可是如果六個月內就已經虧掉基金的 50%，之後要怎麼幫投資人賺回來？聽說國內共同基金有至少持股七成的規定。如果是真的，那麼基金淨值下跌也不能怪他們，畢竟他們至少得有七成股票，大盤跌他們也跟著跌。但是 -40% 到 -60% 也未免跌的太兇了吧... @_@資料來源：Yahoo! 奇摩理財 - 最多人推薦基金排行榜Shared by bbbush (24)Contribute comment -

Facebook 5亿美元再提股权换购Twitter被拒 (8)

keso's view (25) permalink
按常人理解，Twitter打造盈利模式如此艰难，又赶上经济寒冬，能背靠大树绝对是一个解脱的机会。但Twitter却拒绝了这么好的机会，坚持要独自长大。我相信，对于一个像Evan Williams这样的创业者来说，相信自己，独立经营的重要性无与伦比。他曾经经历过更严峻的外部形势，他的Pyra Labs最惨的时候，公司只剩下他一个人，独立维持着Blogger.com的运营。但在春天来临之前，他却将Blogger卖给了Google，很难判断这一选择正确与否，但很明显，Pyra Labs失去了更大的成功机会，也失去了对一个产品未来的主导权，所以Evan只能再次重新开始创业。其实，互联网上的好项目并不多，越是外部形势不好，越是能体现好项目的价值。对很多有理想的创业者来说，接受挑战是一件有意思的事，选择一条无风险的道路，并不具有吸引力。Facebook 5亿美元再提股权换购Twitter被拒:据称Facebook主动向Twitter表达了收购意愿。Twitter的投资者和管理层置疑这些Facebook股票的真实价值，因此否决了这项提议。同时他们也相信Twitter最终能凭借一己之力度过经济寒冬。值得注意的是，Facebook已经开始在关心Twitter当前的火爆和未来的潜在收益了。Shared by 用心阁 (15) 蓝天博客 (24) 94smart (28) Chris (27) Dash (6) iFire (0) oxygen (45) Yishuai (2)- iFire said: ReTweeting from keso: 越是外部形势不好，越是能体现好项目的价值。对很多有理想的创业者来说，接受挑战是一件有意思的事，选择一条无风险的道路，并不具有吸引力。

onYour investment time horizon is the length of time until you need to sell your investment. This is an important concept when trying to decide what kind of investments you should have in your portfolio.
