Google is aggressively promoting its online payment service Google Checkout lately. It’s offering $20 off $50 purchase at online store buy com. The aim is very obvious, eBay’s Paypal. To counter Google’s attack, Paypal is offering free shipping with a number of partners including Dell. Who will be the winner of this war? I don’t know. But one thing I know for sure is Google has a deeper pocket (10 Billion in cash); they could do this promotion without hurting itself. If a customer needs to buy some electronics, buy com is a good place to checkout 🙂

This is the most important thing you need to know. Your money your decision. Try not to be forever diver 不要做永远♾️的潜水员.  02-21-2025 每个人都可以自己的炒股风格：但是归根结底，不管黑猫白猫，会抓老鼠🐭的猫才是好猫。 要做好风险控制：拿每个人可以接受的钱去炒股票，一般不能all in. 尽量留一部份现金等等。 02-15-2025 1. Be happy; 2. 赚钱是王道：don’t lose money; 3. Refer to rule 1 and 2.  01-16-2025 My top 3 stock positions (excluding the stocks indirectly hold in various S&P 500 index funds): brk/b, KO and OX.  Some learning resource: 活到老学到老：这一点也很重要，沃伦巴菲特和查理芒格都是学习机器。 他俩主要的学习手段是读书，读年报，再加上自己独立思考。 Warren Buffett reads a lot of company’s annual reports: mostly to learn.  I found listening to companies’ Earning call to be educational sometimes –  EARNMOAR – YouTube  Fyfull – YouTube   奶头乐级别: “NaNa 说美股” 每天市场评述，mainly entertainment value –  ;  “小lin说” various topics, mainly entertainment and education value –  个人感觉小林讲的一般不深奥，主要是入门知识，但是她讲的还是有干货的； 美国年轻人Joseph Carlson Show and Joseph Carlson After Hours 他好像有两个频道 – stocks, food for thought – 比如这个油管视频：   Please note one goal for many content creators including YouTubers is getting eyeballs 👀 👁️ and making💰. So keep this in my mind when you consume the online content.  我又想了一下。我觉得网上多数视频包括CNBC Jim Cramer 的mad money，包括Nana 的油管每天更新，还有其它很多，教育或有启发的东西不是很多。娱乐的成分倒是不少。可能有点这个短视频的”奶头乐”的味道吧。或者相当于麦当劳🍔的快餐。光吃那个或天天吃那个可能不是最健康：因为营养成分不够丰富。还是要自己做饭，或吃一些更健康的食品（少吃垃圾食品，少喝可乐等等）[捂脸][呲牙]  Together let’s share some 💡 and make some 💰.  We try to keep the America (US) politics at a minimum here.  I believe everyone is entitled to her or his opinion including political views and affiliation.  But those are best kept to yourself. Probably religion too.  I recall 20+ years ago one golden rule is not to talk politics and religion at work.  Also, we will try to keep out many fake stuffs on Internet or from social medias.
