Let me ask you this. Which company would you have bet on for the next 100 bagger in 1999 looking for young companies in an immature market? What do you think determines the future dominance when market matures? Is it earliest company? Biggest company at the time? Or is something else? * Yahoo! Inc. * Excite@Home * Lycos, Inc. * Ask Jeeves, Inc. * InfoSpace, Inc. * Infoseek Corp. * CMGI, Inc. (owner of AltaVista) * Inktomi Corp. * LookSmart Ltd. * FAST Search & Transfer ASA * Go2Net, Inc. * Terra Networks, S.A. * CNET Networks, Inc. (search/directory properties) * America Online, Inc.

sorry you got screwed! my former friend was in the same fifth grade investing group of two people (just them as desk mates) with the CEO of Blackrock.. he went to the same private school and was in his class.. they are not friends or anything though. first stock i picked was CNET thinking it was [cnet.com](http://cnet.com) but it was some China fund but it skyrocketed randomly.. i am wondering if PBR can go back up to 40 during a freak rally? would make me 300k before taxes

> Eberhard sued Tesla in June 2009, claiming Musk was trying to “rewrite history” about Eberhard’s contributions to the company, according to CNET. He sought damages from the company, alleging that Tesla execs’ comments about him had affected his reputation. >That September, Tesla announced that the suit had been settled. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, other than the agreement that Eberhard, Tarpenning, Musk and two other men—then-CTO JB Straubel and early Tesla engineer Ian Wright—would be considered Tesla co-founders. https://marketrealist.com/p/who-really-founded-tesla/

I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed post and I agree with all of the wisdom you have assembled. I am mostly a long-term, buy & hold investor, but I am looking for opportunities where they arise. I'm not opposed to a quick profit if an otherwise excellent investment happens to be volatile in the short-term. Hence, I was happy to take a 6.7% return on the S&P on April 14, after only holding the shares for 10 days. I bought them at the bottom of the dip, intending to hold them long-term, but I couldn't pass up the quick profit. Then, I bought again on the next dip and have since sold again for another quick profit, though not as much this time. My only regret is that I didn't buy a LOT more shares. But I am too risk averse. I don't necessarily subscribe to the efficient market theory. If everybody knew everything, there would be no ups or downs in the market, only smooth sailing. I am even more risk averse when it comes to individual stocks. But there was a time back around 1999, when a tip from a reliable source led me to buy CNET three days prior to the earnings announcement. They hit it out of the park and so did I. It returned 30% in 3 days. I knew in advance exactly how high the stock could go, since it had already traded to that level once before. Sure enough it did and triggered my limit order to sell. I was very busy in those days and information wasn't so readily available as it is today. Now I'm semi-retired and have time to focus on identifying opportunities. There is one 'theory' that I do subscribe to, but it is not a theory. As the real estate people say, "You make your money when you buy, not when you sell." In other words. the price you pay is the most critical factor in determining your profit. For this reason, I am happier when the market declines and I tend to cry when it goes up. I believe it will go up sooner or later anyway, but in the meantime, please run a fire sale and let me stock up at a discount. Hopefully, the next 4 years of reality TV in the White House will provide many opportunities for me. Cheers!

Yeah, people hate smartphone AI, even if it worked. A CNET survey in December found that 73% of iPhone owners and 87% of Samsung owners think it adds zero value to their phones. All this is happening while companies are rolling back new hardware features and raising prices for AI capabilities. Even worse, none of it is intuitive. I'm in my 20s and had to help people my age figure out how to use this stuff on their new iPhones. After a week most of them did what I did and disabled it. I can't imagine what people in their 50s and 60s are doing with it. Apple is down so bad they automatically enabled it with iOS 18.3 for everyone with an eligible phone. The most recent update from a couple of days age (like iOS 18.3.2) even re-enabled it for users if they've already turned it off.

The RayNeo "partnership" is extremely vague - no confirmed order quantities, revenue projections, or binding commitments. [CNET's own coverage](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/open-orders-wearable-devices-announces-135500662.html) just calls it a demo integration. Big difference between a tech demo and actual commercial deployment. An institution buying in at $1.00 with warrants isn't bullish - it's a hedge fund getting a sweetheart deal with massive downside protection. [The offering details](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wearable-devices-ltd-announces-closing-213200528.html) show they're also repricing old warrants down to $1.00. Pure dilution. Their revenue is minimal and the cash burn is massive. The global consumer electronics market is [$755 billion](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wearable-devices-ltd-wlds-best-122239382.html) and WLDS has captured essentially none of it. No major retailers carry their products. No major tech companies license their tech. This is classic penny stock promotion - vague partnerships, constant dilution, and no real business fundamentals. The institutions aren't "investing" - they're trading against retail investors with heavily structured warrant deals.

He should have lost the forced Twitter buy-out case. He waived due diligence and then tried to claim it as a reason to withdraw his offer. The funny thing is that by forcing him to buy Twitter, in an incredibly indirect way, she helped elect Trump. So, biggest self-own ever. But he will win this case. Do one of those "remindme" things if you like, so you can prove me wrong down the road. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

In 2001, AAPL around $20 or so. I opted to chase floundering dotcoms (KOOP, ASK, CNET) because AAPL was boring. I got on the bus eventually, but much later. Also, buying bitcoin at $250 and selling at $600, because scoring that sweet 2-bagger makes me a boss.

No idea what CNET article you must have read that led you to believe something so silly. Browsing for a brand new Dell Poweredge server I see that every single high end offering uses Intel architecture. Same as it ever was. It's why no serious data center runs AMD architecture.

I'm a writer for a tech/marketing company, so I deal with marketing and SEO stuff across several industries. We mostly work with other tech, communications, and financial companies to funnel traffic to their products and collect data about what customers want. Last year was the bad year with layoffs and closing down groups within the company. This year we've pivoted back to growth and my team has even expanded. I can provide a little info for the search traffic stuff you've noticed. Google blew up its algorithm in October. That update hammered any company that does work in SEO because Google completely changed what it looks for. It now prioritizes authentic writing and stuff straight from the source. So, if you'd Googled something like "what is the best cell phone?" you stopped getting results from trusted sources with nuanced content like CNET or PCMag. Instead, the top results would be three features from Google itself and all the results were from Reddit and Quora. Sites have made changes to comply and Google continued to tweak things, but the damage was done. Traffic everywhere dropped and never recovered because the quality of Google's results turned to hot garbage.

I told you already. ChatGPT and the lawsuit. If you don't agree then that's fine but I won't say it again. You say ChatGPT is nothing and that's your opinion, but I say you're wrong. Spend some actual time with the software, more than a few minutes, and you'll see why. Also Google disagrees with you. [NYTimes](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/21/technology/ai-chatgpt-google-search.html) and [CNET](https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/chatgpt-caused-code-red-at-google-report-says/) Obviously you still like Google and that's cool, but I don't. >When Baba was at $60 there was only negative news; now it’s at $110 there’s only positive news. How long was Baba at $60 for? How long did it take to reach $110? Now do Google. It's barely moved. Let's take Meta. Past 3 months it went up nearly 60%. Google? not even 3%. >Stock and company are very different. Correct, they are. Doesn't matter how great a company is, if their stock doesn't move with it.

I remember reading articles on CNET and PCMag in the 90s with a very similar version of this quote. Maybe if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture at how far we've come that's not _all_ hype.

DooDooDuterte

So I’m a writer for a big tech company. On Sunday, I heard BZFD was exploring using AI writing, but that was in the context of CNET failing miserably at doing the same—CNET had to issue corrections for an AI-written article they published, so it didn’t seem like positive news that BZFD was going to use it. There was also news that they were laying off, but since SI was so low the ticker never came to my attention. I’m as surprised as most that it took off like this. The AI sector has been heating up since the fall. Enterprise spending is stagnant if not falling, but AI companies are bullish because companies are still willing to spend for it. Lots of potential contract signings, but good luck timing them. That said, if an AI can land a government contract and fulfill it, that increases the possibility of getting addition and bigger contracts (I also used to deal with contracts in the US Army and State Department). So, yeah, AI looks good to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUARgocC5FU&ab_channel=CNET This video from CNET goes over it well. Basically they are the amongst the industry leaders in stuff like micro gesturing, real time photorealistic avatar creation, 3D audio, and much more. Whether people like it or not, AR is going to be very common in the next ten years and they are positioning themselves to be one of the leaders in hardware and software.

Semiconductors 2000 versus 2001 (CNET article) With industry figures showing that chip sales ended last year slightly lower than expected, 2001 is a year no one in the semiconductor business is likely to miss. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday that worldwide chip sales totaled $139 billion in 2001, a 32 percent slide from $204 billion in 2000. The trade group had predicted that sales would drop 31 percent to $141 billion in 2001. Originally, in February 2000, the group predicted a 22 percent gain for the market.

As an armchair lawyer, the part that I’m interested in is the amount of “bots”. - in 2014 Twitter admitted like 8%-9% of their users were bots - in 2017-2018 CNET estimated the number anywhere between 9%-15% of Twitter users were bots - musk claimed on Twitter that bots make up at least 20% of Twitter users I think it’s so hard to calculate “bots” as there are “good” bot functions on Twitter that people leverage. I.e Twitter has a remind-me bot like Reddit does. I don’t think the real number will come close to Musks 20% claim and I think Twitter will be able to use this against him by claiming he was trying to lower Twitters selling price. Disc: I’m in no way a lawyer and this should not be considered an analysis. Just a hungover bum speculating.

I actually read a lot of these information from Chinese news media, they have propaganda for politicla and social news, but their news regarding tech, IT, and manufacture are still worthy reading. Other news media I read are Wired, NYT, CNET, Bloomberg, and Geekwire. Also subreddit such as Technology, Facebookads. Then we also have group chats (similar to discord) for people that are in certain business field, these groups iften discuss information that is not published to the public and held within industry, which is common for almost every industry I believe. I'm in two ecommerce groups, one gaming group, two IT groups, one TMT group and one bio/agriculture tech student group.

Such as being one of the leaders in current VR/AR technology. One of the reasons FB's profit is down this year is that their expenses have increased because of R&D in this type of technology. In the next decade or so we will all own glasses that project visuals (AR) onto the real world and we can use hand gestures to control what is displayed. This will transform how we perform daily tasks because we will no longer have to use a phone or computer to complete tasks but just use glasses in order to complete processes faster and more conveniently. Have a look at this video 4:10 - 4:47 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gElfIo6uw4g&ab\_channel=CNET](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gElfIo6uw4g&ab_channel=CNET) it's not showing much but if you can conceptualize the different tasks that can be done with this type of technology it's unbelievable. I can guarantee that once something like Neuralink happens in the future, Facebook will be competing to lead the way there as well. Incredibly undervalued at the moment. I bought in at $340 even with the negative reputation of the business and the change to Apple's privacy, but I can tell you I'm going to stick strong with Meta.

lucasl1990

OP, I read a bunch of comments here. Like most, I thought the metaverse was just a crappy second life rip. That FB and others are just trying to enter the videogame space, in a roundabout way... but i changed my mind just the other day when youtube showed me a CNET video. Here's my thoughts. First i want to remind you of how popular work from home has been for the bourgeoise class. Now i understand that there are a great deal of types of work that cannot be done from home, but with home motion capture tech, and better headsets/ interface technologies a good deal of things will be possible from home. Furthermore the economies of advanced nations are fundamentally transitioning to be about information labor more and more. Those are the types of workers and work all nations of the earth wants to have come to them. Which brings me to my real point. Don't just think of the metaverse through the lens of videogames, that's a great application of VR as is porn etc. as people have mentioned, but its not the what the metaverse is about. The Metaverse does something that physics cant otherwise seem to allow: TELEPORTATION. Now hear me out. Why pay for an office building in a dense, expensive city when you can design a digital space that corresponds to each employee's own home office? or maybe the office itself is entirely digital in conception? Just as we have seen from the wealthy who would rather live somewhere else and work from home, you could live in the mountains , but go see the city, visit family, and work all from whatever locale you can afford/ choose. When this adoption is successful (notice i didn't say "if") commercial real estate such as office buildings will become largely superfluous. Land out in beautiful but remote areas will gradually become more comparable price-wise with dense city centers as more and more people adopt the metaverse for certain activities. Teleportation is just one idea. The farther you look into the Metaverse and start connecting the dots with other advances happening in other industries pertaining to tech the more it makes sense. Meta (the company) and other metaverse companies want to be a platform. Now lets tackle some other ideas, work like manufacturing, for example. There are a variety of jobs that are either too difficult, or that you don't want automated because of risks, responsibilities or legal liabilities, so you run a remote control application for a basic robot (no legs required for a great deal of things, or even just an automated set of arms. Imagine a manufacturing job where you can work from home and you don't need to lift heavy things! No back pain! Less chronic illness. That's value added if you ask me. I hate shoe shopping, its a pain online because you always have to return things that don't work and you don't know until you get them. I have issues with my feet (arches too high, over-pronate) and it makes finding something that works a real chore. Could i not, using motion capture in my own home, and a scan of my foot, compare my gait and structure to millions of other people to try and narrow the field to what may actually work for me? Could i meet people who match me the most and see recorded, spoken out-loud reviews, by them about different products? Could i see my realistic avatar wear them as if I was another person? looking at me? Lets take a trip back to the metaverse office, you are a supervisor, you get on an important call, it goes on for a while and so many people speak, it gets really convoluted. You don't need to take notes, the metaverse system has taken them for you, and noted, via various methods (number of times phrase was repeated, tone of voice etc.) the important takeaways. Lets say one of your team makes a promise or claim. Later, you can go see who said it, replay the meeting. That value added. Lets say you want to go to a show, but the tickets to Katie Perry (or Lizzo if you have taste) are $300 for nosebleeds. Incredibly, you and your friends can have the equivalent of a 10x10 front row area to to dance in together online RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, potentially with better audio than you may get in person, and less hearing damage. You can mix up or down your friends voices to hear them better, or have them adjusted to your avatars spatial position. This costs you each only $20, and 1 Million other people can do the same thing (pay for it) and not be in your way when you want to go take a piss. That's value added. I'm not going to keep going, but you can see how strictly thinking of the Metaverse as second life is not accurate. Think about the integration of, language translation, motion capture, IOT, AR and any form of digital communication, telemedicine diagnosis and treatment! I'm not going to bother too much with the downsides, but there are DEFINITELY downsides. imagine you lie to your boss, they can run your voice through an analyzer, or send to a service to see if you are lying. If you have biometrics hooked up, all the worse. Then there's the commercialization, people are assuming the worst here, and there is no reason not to other than the success or failure of the venture for those who are embarking on it now. If FB is too greedy/ annoying, people will switch to a competitor, like Microsoft. There are as many potential downsides as upsides, but goddamn there are upsides. Next people will say this sounds expensive, home motion capture and AR? Headsets? digital services and massive data processing and storage? Yes those will be expensive, but more expensive than office space in a giant building downtown? More expensive than the carbon footprint of transporting people around? than rent in a major city vs a more affordable area? How about the cost of a friendship falling away due to distance? or a relationship that really felt right but wasn't going to happen because they were meant to "go away" for school? I'm not saying that Metaverses are gonna be here in these senses tomorrow, but they are coming. They won't aim to replace elements of real life, instead they will be sold as methods to save time and money so that real life can be enjoyed more, but in the future the simulacrum and reality will merge once the tech gets powerful and small enough. The year 3000, (Conan O'Brien fans here's your moment) you walk into you kitchen which has been scanned continuously as you have used it. You want to make a cocktail. Your VR/AR metaverse connected device guides you through the process (possibly with a celebrity chef assisting) and directs you to the ingredients in your own home. As you assemble the recipe, your device notifies you that you are low on an ingredient, it knows this based on the recipe and your use and purchase history, it asks if you would like to add that added to your shopping list. You assent as you continue to follow the recipe. Just as you are finishing up an old friend asks if they can come over. You tell them you are happy to, but you were going to watch some sketch comedy in your living room later if they are down and your sister was going to join from her place. Your friend says that sounds great and so you give them permissions to enter your home via voice command. Your friends avatar walks in through the front door and you both sit down for a chat before your sister joins you and you start watching the latest sketch comedy be performed as if it was in your living room right in front of you, except this isn't live, its pre-recorded and the gags have been juiced up with some effects. Not only that, because the comedy is performed in a 3-d space, there are details, and characterizations you can only see from 1 angle that you may not notice on a first watching. You kick yourself for not going into production like you had wanted, but also think to yourself that you like your work as a therapist, and helping people more directly suits you. Your partner comes in and is clearly in a mood, your sister and friends cant hear or see them due to permissions, but you ask them if they can pause for a minute that you need to go take care of something. you drop out of their experience and go see what's bothering your partner. Your partner just tells you it was a rough and complicated day and that one of the remote work bots malfunctioned during a critical step and ruined a batch of product, but that its ok and the irl support team is on it. They encourage you to go back to your comedy and that you can talk later You go back to the living room and proceed. Meanwhile, your partner gets started on dinner, you suppress one another's volume through your earbuds so you can still hear one another, but also so that their cooking doesn't stop your experiencing the show and your laughing doesn't distract them from listening to Chopin. Later, you disconnect from the metaverse to eat dinner with your partner and get more detail about their day around your home, at your dinner table. You can still love them and touch them and smell them with your own senses. Its good to disconnect. But its also good to connect. Sounds pretty incredible to me even if its a long ways off.

Just FYI.....The second graphic is slightly incorrect as they don't own a lot of those internet properties due to the CNET sale in Sept'20......although I think that was just removal of dead weight for capital to invest into P+/Pluto, so I guess it is a win-win

I know that is a scooter I was just retelling what CNET reported and all so reminding people about the time Apple told their costumers that they are holding their phones wrong.

Buy_Sell_Hold

Apple says iPhone cameras can be hurt by motorcycle vibrations High-power or high-volume motorcycle engines produce potentially damaging high-amplitude vibrations, so the company says don't attach your phone to your hawg. -CNET.com I remember Apple once said you are holding the phone wrong. now this. and soon just leave it in the box do not look at it.

The CNET article from the google search you linked directly contradicts your earlier claims. You will not be able to produce evidence that you were unable to buy GME in the days following the buying pause. There were max share limits and options restrictions but you were able to buy. You seem incapable of basic reading comprehension, very poor memory as well

I'm in the same boat with VERB and CNET. Bought on Thursday hoping for a bounce or continuation today, but the market was red and they did nothing. I saw signs of life on VERB today, so I'm hoping Tuesday they both go up (but I'm more confident in VERB).

Do we normally have a daily play thread on weekends? My short term plays are hot hot hot. EEENF, RGBP, IGEX and MWWC. Also hoping some short swings move, like EEGD, VERB, and CNET, but I'm not nearly as invested in them as the otc.

The CNET article if you actually read it makes it sound like they are moving away from qnx for android to run Ford technology!! That is not the case!!! They should have made it clear that qnx runs on majority of Ford cpu and that android will run on qnx hypervisor! That’s their job!! They tried to do a hit job by making it sound like that they completely moved away from qnx to android to run Ford system!!! Average joe that doesn’t know qnx run on all the ecu!!!

ojmho

Since you're also deleting your comments let me paste the snippet I got from telling me you replied: "You have to be blind to miss the point of the CNET article. This article is a hit piece to make it seem like android will power entire Ford system. You likely work for hedge fund! Do you know how many..." ​ Tell me where in that article it says Android will power the entire Ford system. The very first paragraph ends with: "For Blackberry faithful, that means saying goodbye to QNX, which powered Sync for years now." Sync is the name of their INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. You are crying foul while having little to no understanding of the automotive space.

ModernBuddha1

You have to be blind to miss the point of the CNET article. This article is a hit piece to make it seem like android will power entire Ford system. You likely work for hedge fund! Do you know how many websites printed similar text!!?? It was to take down the stock price. Android will never power their vehicles!! Ford runs like 15 modules with qnx on it!!! From CNET “ Ford's betting big on Android to power its future in-car technologies. On Monday, the automaker announced a new partnership with Google that will see the tech giant's Android operating system power future Ford vehicles. “”” “ “

ReikoBe

Uh the CNET article is 100% correct since its talking about the software of the infotainment system which is what the users see and what most care about. This sub is getting full of whiney shots thinking everything is a hedge fund hit piece out to tank their stock. It's gotten pathetic compared to what it was.

ModernBuddha1

CNET did not go to blackberry investor relations to ask if ford really dropped blackberry. CNET likely got paid by hedge funds(?) to print this FUD. Ford is using QNX hypervisor to run the non-safety/non-critical andoird on top.

willshekillme

CNET is a reputable tech publication and you provided 0 sources as to what Ford is "really using"

If anything, they merged the two, as well as putting up their NY HQ for sale, and selling Simon and Schuester as well as CNET, to make them more attractive M&A target to a certain trillion dollar companies as a lean mean second biggest vertically integrated solely devoted to content creation machine...

One of three things will happen with VIAC: * a) They'll be sold off entirely to a company in need of content. For valuation, consider: * The sale of the very similarly sized Time Warner to AT&T for $109B in 2016 * The sale of a much smaller collection of Fox assets to Disney for $71B in 2019 * VIAC's enterprise value is currently $50B * b) They won't successfully manage the transition to streaming and will be forced to gradually sell things off. Given they were able to continue growing revenue through increased ad rates and carriage fees right up until COVID hit, despite years of declining cable subscribers, this would be a very slow motion failure. Cable isn't dying any time soon. For valuation, consider: * They've already agreed to sell CNET for $500M and Simon and Schuster book publishing for $2.1B * They sold their second rate CBS Television City production facility in LA for $750M. If they were to sell Paramount, the lot alone (the last studio in Hollywood proper) would fetch billions. * Sony's purchase of AT&T's 42% of the Gameshow network in 2019 fetched $500M, implying a valuation for that declining cable property of over $1B. VIAC has many cable properties that would fetch billions in a sale. * [As of 2018](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/01/arts/spongebob-squarepants-stephen-hillenburg.html), SpongeBob had accumulated more than $13B in merchandise revenue alone. Star Trek has brought in billions in revenue through various channels. The temporary exclusive streaming rights to South Park sold to HBO Max last year for $500M. They have tons of IP that's still worth a lot of money. * c) They'll manage the transition to streaming * The longstanding thesis that streaming would trend toward oligopoly is looking ever less valid. A lot of firms will make money, and VIAC is looking like one of the stronger secondary contenders. * They had over 30M subscribers to Showtime and CBS All Access combined *before* the high profile rebranding to Paramount+. And they have 40M more MAUs using the rapidly growing PlutoTV. * If you believe in this outcome, you have to look at established streaming players to inform valuation. The uncertainty regarding the (c) case justifies a somewhat low valuation, but (b) gives a very high floor. Last summer, VIAC's EV was easily below its liquidation value. I sold at $60, but I'm happy to buy back in at current prices, and will back up the truck if it dips to $30 or lower.

Jonas42

It's a buy at current prices, IMO, and an easy one if it goes back to $30. For all the hand-wringing about cord cutting, revenue never really shrank, due to higher ad rates and carriage fees, until COVID hit. They'e expected to return to revenue growth in 2021. The cable business will continue to bring in money for a long time yet. The movie studio will start contributing revenue again soon. The sales of CNET, Simon and Schuster and unneeded real estate will put a big dent in that debt, or provide juice for growing the streaming business. I don't know if they'll be able to beat Netflix or Disney, but I also don't know that they need to. It seems like there's been this assumption since streaming started ramping up that everything would consolidate around a couple of options, a la phone OSes or social networks. But it doesn't seem to be developing that way. There's room for a bunch of companies to make money. Between CBS All Access and Showtime, VIAC already had over 30M subscribers even before the Paramount+ rebranding. The free PlutoTV has another 40M+ MAUs. There is some uncertainty with how they navigate the transition, so I do think a low P/E is justified. I sold at $60 for that reason. But as points of reference re: valuation, consider that: * Disney bought a smaller collection of assets from Fox in 2019 for $71B * AT&T bought a very similar (only *slightly* larger) company in Time Warner a few years ago for $109B * Sony bought AT&T's 42% of the Gameshow Network in 2019 for $500M, indicating a value of over $1B for a declining cable business (which helps inform the value of VIAC's cable assets) * After Friday's crash, VIAC's EV is $50B
