The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. The Bombing Of Libya. Dan on August 7th, 2016. It’s been awhile since I have had a US foreign policy rant, so I figured it was probably time. While the US populace has been distracted by the US Election Show, the administration took the opportunity to expand our militaristic role in the Middle East. The US started bombing ISIS in Libya last week, apparently because […]. Continue reading about The Bombing Of Libya. In honor...

A History Lesson For Apple - VIRTUAL DANVIRTUAL DAN
http://dano.vfsystems.net/2015/07/a-history-lesson-for-apple
The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. A History Lesson For Apple. Perhaps its too early to be ripping Tim Cook- the CEO of Apple, but I am starting to sense a similarity to the Steve Jobs – Tim Cook story that played out as the Bill Gates – Steve Ballmer story. Is the I-Phone Tim Cook’s equivalent to Windows? Apple’s earnings this quarter. Apples new product launches have been rough. The Apple Watch launch was botched. So call me jaded – but as a former ...

The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. Dan on June 26th, 2015. An interesting overview by Paul Ford into the world of software development in general – spoken from someone in the trenches – and much of what he rights rings true with me. A very long read, but if you skim or jump around, you are likely to glean some interesting thoughts and ideas out of […]. Continue reading about What is Code. The Business Case for Spam.

The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. A History Lesson For Apple. Dan on July 24th, 2015. Call me crazy, but tell me if you have heard this story before. A huge tech company under a visionary leadership has a market dominating product and rakes in tons of money. The visionary leader then leaves the company, handing it off to a hand picked successor who’s job it is to continue the winning […]. Continue reading about A History Lesson For Apple.

eMagin - The Story Continues - VIRTUAL DANVIRTUAL DAN

The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. EMagin – The Story Continues. At the end of last year, I wrote an article on Seeking Alpha. Wondering if 2015 would be the year that eMagin turns around. eMagin is a company I have followed for years, and the company has always shown great potential, but never achieved. So is this the turnaround that I have been long awaiting? I would recommend anybody invested in eMagin read the earnings call transcripts on Seeking Alpha.

A Drone Update - VIRTUAL DANVIRTUAL DAN
http://dano.vfsystems.net/2015/07/a-drone-update
The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. I think I may have missed the point of this whole commercial drone revolution. Up to this point I have seen drones as a photography platform – but for commercial use kind of a niche product (i.e. real estate virtual tours, crop photography, etc). 8211; the same company is building and taking pre-orders for a drone that can carry up to 200lbs 100 miles or 45 minutes. In theory a ride-able drone – think Star Wars:. So these ...

Irrational Interest Rates - VIRTUAL DANVIRTUAL DAN
http://dano.vfsystems.net/2015/05/irrational-interest-rates
The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. The short term interest rates around the world have been interesting to watch of late – more and more short term government bonds are going into negative interest rate territory. As of this writing, the German. And the Swiss 2 year bond is yielding a negative market rate. Even the Bank Of Japan 2 year. Bond market rate is negative, which given the Japanese government huge debt issues, has me confounded. Perhaps this is a f...

The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. Is Amazon over-over valued? Dan on February 22nd, 2013. Amazon is a tough stock for a value investor like me to own – it has always been overvalued. Yet it has been a great stock for years – up over 10 times over 10 years. It currently is a $270 stock, with a negative 12 months earnings. Compare that to Google – $800 stock with […]. Continue reading about Is Amazon over-over valued? The Bombing Of Libya.

The Trump Strategy - VIRTUAL DANVIRTUAL DAN
http://dano.vfsystems.net/2015/07/the-trump-strategy-3
The Pacific Northwest Solar Experiment. Notes from my travels around the internet. The Donald Trump candidacy has had me stumped as to what he is up to. Many observers believe his candidacy is being powered by some third party (Democrat or Republican leaning), and I can subscribe to that theory. But what’s in it for The Donald? Fleece the silly bankers that will loan him a few more billion against his buildings, then when the market value goes south squeeze the bankers with threats of defaulting on the l...

Investing in emerging markets has been a small part of my diversification strategy, so while it has not been a winner I see it as a cost of diversification. So I was interested to see […].
