It’s Sunday… it means it’s time for “Just for Fun”. Every Sunday, we publish a posting not related to finance or investment.
We just found an interesting video from TheRSA.org about motivation. What motivate us? Is it money? Why so many technical people are doing open source projects (read: do something for free)? What motivates them? If you want to find the answer, watch this video…. 
Every weekend, we write a posting that summarizes interesting things happening in the blogosphere. It’s called “Week in Review” section. Here is the list of what’s happening this week. Sorry that we missed last week’s “Week in Review” because we went out of country.
Intelligent Speculator highlighted the big news of last week, i.e. Apple has surpassed Microsoft in term of market capitalization.
Canadian Capitalist mentioned saving account at two financial institutions that offer higher interest rate than the big banks. They are Ally (owned by GMAC) and People Trust.
Million Dollar Journey compared investing in residential versus commercial real estate. Which one is better?
WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com had some tips on how to check the background of your financial advisors.
The Big Picture had a technical analysis chart of S&P 500 and mentioned a possible head-and-shoulder pattern, which could lead to a bigger pullback to 870 level.
ETF Database had an interesting posting why emerging market bonds might be safer than developed market bonds.
As of today, Apple is valued at $234 billion. It is now official that Apple has larger market capitalization than Microsoft, which is at $226 billion. How high can Apple go? Will it hit $400 in the near future, as predicted by Morgan Stanley?
Personally, we can hardly imagine that Apple will hit $400 in the near future. The largest company is now Exxon Mobil with market cap of $284 billion. Should Apple hit $400, their market cap would be almost $400 billion. It would be much 1.5 larger than today’s Exxon Mobil, 2.5 times larger than today’s Johnson and Johnson, and 5 times larger than today’s McDonald.
Will it happen? We don’t know. However, we think that Apple won’t hit $400 in the near future based on market cap. Will Steve Jobs be able to turn $200 billion company into $400 billion company in the next 1 – 2 years?
Let’s wait and see….
