Ever heard of Xiaomi?

I think everyone is ignoring the fact that he really wanted to work there. If you're in that boat then yes this makes sense. But if like most people you're not exactly gaga over th…

What? You can't be serious..

I think ^^ is the guy who wrote the post. But he is still off the mark.

It would most likely not get past Google's board. And investors would crucify them for paying that kind of premium for a stalled social network (aka don't get the incremental benef…

I have. Gives me a bunch of bs I have no interest in. How about ask me/infer from who I follow, what I'm interested in? Google now does that and blends it in with more general stor…

If it is an early stage company that has the ability to not just increase revenue/customer but also total number of customers. Also the competition in the bidding process matters. …

Honestly even the changes twitter has made have been poor. Moments should ask you, like Google Now, what you're interested in. What use is a random burst of stuff if you're interes…

Good idea. Actually moments should ask you what you're interested in. Kind of like Google Now. I don't need a feed full of celebrity news

Even assuming everyone bought in at today's low cost base; who would agree to this? Would you voluntarily lose $15+/share for...for what exactly? Greater good?

If they cared they would have done it long ago. They chose to make money off those listings instead

Because they were making good coin from those listings

He's actually pretty much spot on. It's not a coincidence that Twitter has 5x less users than Facebook after so many years.

Bernanke and treasury alone could not have done it. The government could have. What he left out was that they never considered nationalizing the banks. No narrative here; just poin…

Roger that. Cheers.

Yes they did. They were stopped by their ideology. The government could have easily nationalized it. Here's Paul Krugman talking about it right after Lehman went under: http://www.…

I think China has learnt from the US example that letting big banks fail is a stupid thing to do.. Krugman on this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/23/opinion/23krugman.html

Bass was kinda wrong on his Japan trade though. Doesn't work every time. Also the big issue with 2008 was that the government led Lehman fail; a huge mistake. They should have nati…

? The whole company = the enterprise value of the company. Maybe you didn't understand what buying all of twitter meant. My point is if you bought twitter for $1 and with their XBN…

Lol "We actually don't know if India would have been worse or better off without Britain's influence, and we can't possibly know" See my other statement: Honestly I think this refl…

Exactly. Plus buffett came with a hugely successful track record from his partnership days and bought Berkshire outright. What the hell has anyone on Yahoo's current board or Maris…

Actually the worst part of twitter is that things disappear so quickly (till recently). 320MM MAU doesn't mean everyone sees that. A TV ad can 1) be sent to any station, 2) has a g…

Neat, me too.
