WEll I wanted to invest in Google&#039;s IPO also...but if I had invested in Apple it would have returned MUCH more than Google...so I don&#039;t think I&#039;m an idiot. . . &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only true measure of investment success is your portfolio&#039;s bottom line.</p><p>Coulda, woulda, shoulda, if only I had not listened to my wife, etc doesn&#039;t cut it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;. . . I had and still do have huge confidence in Steve Jobs and Apple. I knew he could turn that company around and also knew that there is going to always be about a 4%-5% share of the computer market that Appple owns.. . &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve Jobs IS Apple Computers. Without Jobs Apple withers and dies. You&#039;re willing to bet the farm on a guy recovering from pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant.

And to think we lost 30K in our 401K in one quarter ending June 09 in so called conservative investments!. . . &quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>no response necessary</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;. . . Windows 7 is the best operating system I&#039;ve ever used. Hands down it blows Mac OS x away. Microsoft would be a pretty safe bet right now...I have Windows 7 Ultimate and its amazing...puts every OS MS or Apple ever put out to shame. . . &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>M$ finally got a winner. You need to look at Apples growing market share. it&#039;s small but there is a trend. Others will argue Micro$oft is an also ran after Windows 7 runs it course. Like it or not Cloud computing is here. The Cloud doesn&#039;t care if you use linux, Apple OS or Windows or what ever. Sales of Microsoft Office (real POS and M$ biggest money maker) will be irrelevent. The non M$ Office suite lives in the Cloud. Micro$oft&#039;s mobile phone OS? It&#039;s history on the way out because Google Android phone OS will probably to rule mobile phone world. M$ is cash rich but drowning in potentially obselete products.</p><p>Better take another look at Google.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just remembered another cash cow killer for Microsoft - At least one large city as dropped M$ Exchange Server and moved to the Cloud for free.&nbsp; Another trend.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t yet sold my Microsoft stock but will and replace it with Cloud related companies.&nbsp; Hello Google.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What do I know?
