Lateral-g Forums - Investing 102

That "depends" --- I use a brokerage for all my Muni Bonds.... I use Schwab for all discussions (buys and sales) for this thread... I have two other large brokerages that handles other pieces for me. But for purposes of this thread they're all done via Schwab. I like schwab for research and for just general purposes. It's easy to navigate their site -- I've used it for years and familiar with all the features etc. Otherwise there's no particular reason.

Guess I should have waited. The little man said "Greg's in! Take 'er down!"

I hate that little guy!

From CNN money....

They even set a day for the press event, with only 1 month before prime holiday shopping. It will be interesting to see how much cannibalization happens on the current ipad line up that starts at $399. I am guessing $199-$250 retail on the mini since that is where the market is on the smaller 7" screens. They need volume to replace any lost sales of the $399+ models at a 2:1 rate by taking market share, which they have 70% of it.

My Apple (AAPL) buy is looking a smidgen better after today's 15 point advance!

I'm busy just road trippin' in the new rig - and not checking stocks etc... or Lat- G much either.

I kinda like not hangin' on the computer all day like when I'm home or in the shed.

:cheers: :woot:
