Five habits of the very best investors
Habits govern our behavior in the background and let us move through life without requiring us to think about the same issue again and again. Here are five habits that can help you be a better investor:
1: Setting goals
Investors who lack clearly articulated and measurable goals tend to dabble in various investment options, hoping they'll find something that works. But once you set some fixed goals, your investment choices and actions acquire an entirely new meaning.
2: Create a plan — and stick to it
In real life, our needs change, circumstances change, knowledge evolves. Rethinking your goals and working to achieve them can become a regular part of your life.
3: Save regularly
After all, you can't invest money unless you have it; and unless you save it, you probably won't have it. The best investors find ways to add to their savings automatically. 4: Live on less
Some very successful investors take pleasure in demonstrating that they can live on less and still be happy. They're among the people who are most likely to enjoy retirement, since they have deliberately cut the emotional cord between how much money they spend and how happy they are.
5: Stay in the game
The best investors are those who can habitually stay the course despite the setbacks they inevitably encounter. This is resilience — another very valuable trait — in action. Doing all these things may seem like a pretty tough assignment, and in a way it is. If you want to be outstandingly successful, you've got to do what most other people don't do.

Moxtra's The Next Step In Mobile Collaboration
Watch Out Google, WhatsApp and BBM
Being able to share information is a driving force in this connected and increasingly mobile world, not only for the enterprise market, but also for the consumer. We’re seeing companies like Microsoft, Google, Dropbox, Box and others bring collaboration services to market, but collaboration also raises security concerns, particularly for the business community. On the consumer side, companies like Snapchat and Glide, along with Facebook’s Instagram and Twitter’s Vine applications, are riding the transition from voice and text to video and video chat.
Imagine if there was one company that did all of this — and it worked no matter where your data was stored and no matter what device or platform you were using, whether Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android or a Microsoft Windows-powered smartphone or tablet. Well there is, and it’s called Moxtra. In many ways, Moxtra is set to do to collaboration what Blackberry first did for email.
Subrah Iyar is the former co-founder and CEO of WebEx Communications. His latest company, Moxtra is a technology company focusing on productivity and collaboration solutions. Given the recent acquisition of WhatsApp by Facebook, the growing push by Google into the enterprise and Blackberry’s traction with its BBM messenger service, Subrah’s comments and insights are rather timely.

Facebook Inc.may be going into thedrone business
Facebook is reportedly in talks to buy drone-maker Titan Aerospace for $60 million, according to TechCrunch.
Titan Aerospace makes drones that can fly for five years without having to land, and Facebook is interested in the technology as a way to achieve its goal of offering Internet access to 5 billion people who still do not have any form of network connectivity.
The move is apparently part of Facebook’s Internet.org initiative, which seeks to expand Internet access throughout the world. The idea is to use the drones to blanket the unconnected parts of the globe, starting with Africa, the report said.

In Warren Buffett’s eye: Invest your money in stocks!
Warren Buffett is the chairman and chief executive officer at Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and a legendary investor, whose opinion affects other investors.
He said concerns about Ukraine shouldn’t deter long-term stock investors; if anything, it’s a sign to buy. “If we get into a major war, the value of money goes down, so the last thing you’d want to do is hold money. The stock market is going to advance over time. You are going to be a lot better off holding productive assets over the next 50 years.”
Buffett said he feels good owning shares of computer-maker IBM, even though revenue trends have been weaker than anticipated.
He said he is not in favor of breaking up PepsiCo Inc., as has been recommended by activist investor Nelson Peltz, of Trian Partners.
Coca-Cola Co. may face pressure going forward. “It’s under a lot more pressure than it was 10 or 15 years ago, particularly in the U.S.”.
Bitcoin is "not a currency" because it doesn't meet the criteria of a currency, including being a store of value. In an interview said that he would not be surprised if bitcoin is not around in 10 or 20 years because it is used as a speculative bet. The price of bitcoin is inevitably based on the value of the dollar he said, which means that it is not a currency in and of itself.

Apple said it is bringing its mobile operating system to automobiles this year with a new CarPlay system that links its iPhone with the vehicle’s in-dash display to allow drivers to access the phone’s maps, music and messages.
The company confirmed that Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo will demonstrate the new technology at this week’s Geneva Auto Show and it expects more than a dozen other major car manufacturers to bring the system to its automobiles in the future. Apple said CarPlay will be available in certain cars later this year from its three European partners as well as Honda, Hyundai and Jaguar.
The announcement is the latest sign of an intensifying fight between Apple and Google’s Android operating system to control the connected cars of the future. It’s an extension of a rivalry rooted in hundreds of millions of smartphones and tablet computers. With 80 million new cars and light trucks sold each year, automobiles represent a significant new opportunity for Internet-based software and services where Apple and Google are already competing.
In January, Google announced the formation of the Open Automotive Alliance, a group of automakers planning to bring Android to cars. The first cars from the alliance are expected to come out later this year. So far, car companies are playing the field working with both Google and Apple in their respective initiatives.
Today, Apple says 95% of new cars have built in the ability to play and control music from an iOS device – any iPod, iPhone or iPad running its mobile operating system.

‘European stocks market staged broad-based losses on Thursday amid increased political tension in Ukraine
The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 0.9% to 334.73, setting it on track for the lowest closing level in a week.
Ukraine’s UX index lost 2.2% to 1,096.21, according to the Ukrainian Exchange website.
The Russian ruble fell to an all-time low against the euro-dollar basket, with the euro trading at 49.4256. Against the dollar, the ruble shed 0.4% pushing the dollar to 36.1825 rubles, according to FactSet data.
The political uncertainty also weighed more broadly on the euro, which fell against most major currencies and traded at $1.3654 from Wednesday’s level of $1.3680.
The broader losses for European markets came as tensions in Ukraine intensified after armed men shot their way into regional government buildings in the country’s Crimean region and raised Russian flags early Thursday.
After the incident, Ukraine’s acting president warned that any movements by the Russian military in Crimea, aside from the Russian Black Sea fleet’s base in Sevastopol, would be treated as an act of aggression. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen, via his Twitter account, urged Russia not to take any action that would “escalate tension.” Meanwhile, ousted President Viktor Yanukovych said he still considers himself Ukraine’s legitimate president and declared the actions of parliament that stripped him of his powers illegal.‘

TESLA and its 17% ROSE
‘Analysts at Morgan Stanley raised their price target on Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) to $320 per share from $153, citing potential for the electric auto-maker to disrupt industries outside of its automotive niche, such as batteries and autonomous vehicles. The investment bank has an overweight rating on the stock. The hike in its price target comes amid expectations that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk will reveal details of his planned "gigafactory" battery plant this week. Analyst Adam Jonas wrote that, "Tesla is an extremely ambitious company for whom flooding the market with fun-to-drive EVs and giving competitors a headache might not be the endgame. Tesla's limited addressable market, a long-time bear thesis on the stock, appears well up for grabs here." Tesla stock rose 6.1% to $231.00 premarket, after closing at a record in the previous session.’

‘The website of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox Bitcoin Exchange went blank on Tuesday, in the latest development to roil the virtual currency market.
The website of the troubled exchange has been offline since at least 10:30 p.m. Eastern time on Monday. Mt. Gox has yet to issue any statement about reasons behind the site going offline and whether it would be back at any time.
The news comes amid rumors that the exchange had become "insolvent" after losing 744,408 Bitcoins, worth around $350 million at current prices.
Mt. Gox’s troubles started on February 7, when it was forced to halt all Bitcoin withdrawals, citing technical issues. Prices on Mt. Gox plunged to $91.50 on February 21 as investors were disappointed with a lack of concrete details regarding progress made on resuming withdrawals on the struggling exchange.
Mark Karpeles, chief executive officer of Mt. Gox, resigned on Sunday from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation. The exchange was a founding member and one of three elected industry representatives on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation.
Mt. Gox was once the world's largest Bitcoin trading exchange, with volume topping 1 million trades a day at its peak. Meanwhile, six other major Bitcoin exchanges, including BitStamp, BTC China and Kraken, issued a joint statement distancing themselves from Mt. Gox. […]
The price of a Bitcoin last traded at $459.40 on Slovenia-based BitStamp, down 13.8%, while prices on BTC-e dropped 15.4% to trade at $467.00. According to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, which averages prices from the major exchanges, prices of the crypto-currency declined 14.6% to trade at $465.35.’

’Western Australia has a neat solution where 338 sharks have been tagged with tracking devices that are connected to aTwitter account. If one of the tagged sharks comes close to a popular beach, the tag transmitter sends a tweet. Lifeguards, surfers, and swimmers can then decide if they want to be in the water. Or not.
We may not love the idea of knowing there is a shark swimming up behind us, but we don’t mind using social networks to help us make better decisions, save time, or get more done. Sharing with friends may not be the only way we use Facebook or Twitter in the future.
Real time updates are gaining speed as we seek to stay in the know. The “Internet of Things” (IoT) trend makes the instant update available to our things as well – with home automation to manage our thermostats or to turn our lights on and off. IoT helps us track our fitness, water our plants, find our keys, or start brewing a cup of tea. We want our social network transactions and participation to translate into real-life action.’

“WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1 billion people. The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement.
Facebook announced on Wednesday afternoon that it reached an agreement to buy popular mobile messaging startup WhatsApp for an upfront total of $16 billion, including $4 billion in cash and about $12 billion in Facebook shares.
Cofounder and CEO Jan Koum will join Facebook’s Board of Directors, but WhatsApp will continue to operate independently within Facebook, much like Instagram. The purchase price rises to as much as $19 billion once you factor in an additional $3 billion in restricted stock units that will be granted to WhatsApp’s founders and employees vesting over the next four years. In event the merger fails to obtain regulatory approval, Facebook has agreed to pay a breakup fee to WhatsApp of $1 billion in cash and issue to WhatsApp shares of Facebook Class A common stock equal to another $1 billion.
The $19 billion valuation means Facebook believes WhatsApp is worth over $42 per user. Zuckerberg noted that WhatsApp’s user growth in its first five years far exceeds the rates experienced by Facebook, Twitter or other well-known social-media companies. WhatsApp has over 450 million monthly users, 70% of whom are active on a given day. They are adding more than 1 million new registered users per day.
It’s notable that WhatsApp is actually profitable but not through the normal monetizing avenues. WhatsApp doesn’t show ads and unlike other large messaging services it hasn’t built out a platform on which users can play games or purchase digital goods. Instead, it charges a $1 annual subscription after one free year.

’The 2013 Forbes Billionaires list now boasts 1,426 names, with an aggregate net worth of $5.4 trillion, up from $4.6 trillion. We found 210 new ten-figure fortunes. Once again the U.S. leads the list with 442 billionaires, followed by Asia-Pacific (386), Europe (366), the Americas (129) and the Middle East & Africa (103).
Resurgent asset prices are the driving force behind the rising wealth of the super-rich around the globe. While last year almost as many fortunes fell as rose, this year gainers outnumbered losers by 4-to-1. Many new names made the list thanks to free-spending consumers.
Carlos Slim is once again the world’s richest person, followed by Bill Gates. Amancio Ortega of Spanish retailer Zara moves up to No. 3 for the first time. He is the year’s biggest gainer, adding $19.5 billion to his fortune in one year. He moves ahead of Warren Buffett, despite the fact that the U.S. investing legend added $9.5 billion to his fortune. This is the first year since 2000 that Buffett has not been among the top 3. The year’s biggest loser is Brazilian Eike Batista, whose fortune dropped by $19.4 billion, or equivalent to about $50 million a day. His rank falls from no. 7 to no. 100 in the world.’

‘No one knows for sure but Apple appears to be strongly interested in adding medical applications and technologies to its current and future products. We know that Apple has patented a heart sensor that could be incorporated in a future iPhone or iWatch, though it seems more likely that it would be used for security rather than health purposes. We also know that top Apple executives have met with FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg and top FDA device regulators, though the details of their discussion have not been disclosed.
Apple is exploring ways to measure noise “turbulence” as it applies to blood flow. The company wants to develop software and sensors that can predict heart attacks by identifying the sound blood makes as it tries to move through an artery clogged with plaque, the source said.
Even with Apple’s astonishing $150 billion cash reservoir, this type of advance seems unlikely any time soon. Cardiovascular researchers have been working for decades trying to find better ways to accurately predict heart attacks. They’ve learned a lot over the years but there’s nothing that’s even close to clinical reality.
I asked a bunch of cardiologists for their thoughts. None thought very highly of the prospect. Even Eric Topol, a well-known cardiologist and technology evangelist who is often enthusiastic about new technology, thinks this method is unlikely to fulfill the hype. In a tweet he said, “We’d all like to get this done, but this method unlikely.” ‘

Bye, Black Friday?
'Black Friday might be the most hyped (and most frenzied) shopping day of the year, but newly released data suggest discount hunters may well find better deals on Presidents Day from the comfort of their own laptops.
Personal shopping site Shop It To Me analyzed more than 1 million sale items available online from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013, and found Presidents Day was the best holiday to buy, with an average discount of 47% off on that Monday.
By way of comparison, Black Friday online retail sales averaged 44% off, per the data mined by Shop It To Me founder Charlie Graham, who found that deals were also superior on Labor Day (46% off), July 4th (45% off) and Columbus Day (45%).'
So do not forget the other dates when the americans spend a lot, because it has a result on the prices and it provides a good moment to trade!
