As someone who has been an enterprise customer this depends on a lot of factors. First being who your competitors are and how their pricing is structured. At work we are evaluating three products and the one that has a yearly fee will win

Agreed. I became a nihilist as a teenager and still believe life mostly has no meaning. Humans will all die and the earth will keep turning. I don't really believe in an afterlife. At the same time a person gets miserable going agai

I believe it is actually the TOML format which was obviously inspired by .ini files. TOML has a formal standard while ini files have no formal standard being the big difference.

Beanstalk is nice for rapid development. The problem I is that it doesn't scale for nontrivial architiched apps. I've converted failing beanstalk deployments to real orchestarators a few times.

I bought XOM about 2-3 weeks ago at 71.75 You're also not calculating dividends. Xom is pay 4.4 and some of my other holding have already paid a few thousand in dividends.

It's been approved by RH and the DOJ. Google tried to make a larger offer. Where is the risk in not getting $190 a share?

I average 12%-20+% yearly. I like to look at companies with a good PEG (price to earnings over growth) on a PEG of 1.00 or less unless their are good fundamentals. I like companies with a low P/E. I like dividends as I can reinvest

I was actually up 13% on ENB a Canadian pipeline company. My gain is cut in half because I doubled up on shares. I'm long on everything but RHT which is a cash payout.

RHT should make me about $6000. I bought it the day after IBM announced they would pay $190 a share. Disclaimer I'm Redhat Certified.

People who fail to read and educate themselves will listen to snake oils salesman pitches and trade stocks like a junkie on heroin. I spent years learning industries, learning how to read quarterly report, to identify signs of fraud, and p

Kodak like Sears made money on retail consumers. IBM like Microsoft make a majority of revenue on Enterprise customers and service contracts.

by dsmithatx 8y ago
IBM's customers are the same as Microsoft's customers (at least the high profit ones). Very large enterprise companies locked into contracts worth millions and 100s of millions of dollars. They move slow like icebergs and carry

Fellow grey neckbeard here, I resisted vm's at first. I seriously resisted the idea of the cloud. I resisted Devops and Agile. I looked curiously at containers as possibly not just a fad having used jails for years. Now I'm managi
