eBay Maps Out Black Friday Online Transactions	While Black Friday has long been a popular phenomenon for brick and mortar stores, the deal frenzy has been extending to e-retailers and online stores. Now, sales on the web are equally as lucrative as those in the stores. eBay is launching a campaign to capitalize on the holiday shopping season, called "12 Days Of Deals," and has also rolled out a new Deal-focused iPhone app and partnered with Microsoft to offer deals directly from Internet Explorer 8. Today, the e-commerce giant is launc...	November 28, 2009
Winner’s Curse: Why Losing A B-School Biz Plan Competition Is Better Than Winning	One of the best things about being an academic is being able to mold young minds and guide them to success. When one of my students, Andrew Leblanc told me he was entering the Duke Startup Challenge Elevator Pitch Competition, I told him to come and see me and do a practice run. After all, I had judged several of these contests at Duke and other universities. I thought I knew what worked. After the eleventh iteration, Andrew got it right. He wasn’t trying to pack his presentation with unneces...	November 28, 2009
“Misunderstanding”: Twitter Japan Now Says There Won’t Be A Subscription Model (Update)	We reported yesterday about Twitter Japan’s plans to start charging followers to view tweets from certain users starting January and explained why this paid subscription model could work in Japan. Well, please forget it, this won’t happen. Just a few minutes ago, Digital Garage (the company responsible for Twitter operations in Japan), issued a press release (English PDF, Japanese PDF) stating there won’t be any fee-based services of any kind on the site and that Twitter in Jap...

Video Professor Tries To Bully Washington Post, Fails	Video Professor continues to be angry that I called them a scam in my original Scamville post. They’ve gotten nowhere reaching out to me directly (more on that below), so now they’ve tried complaining to the Washington Post, which has syndicated our content since 2008. The Washington Post stood firm beside us today and kept our original post as written. Good for them. Essentially Video Professor is arguing that they didn’t have the chance to respond to our post before we publis...	November 28, 2009
Mexico ETF: Will Complacency Slow It Down?	After a year of seemingly endless problems sprouting up, Mexico’s officials may have become complacent. It could be a stumbling block on the way to economic and exchange traded fund (ETF) health if the situation doesn’t change. Mexico was fettered to the United States as both economies... ...

Many Ways to Invest in Berkshire Hathaway	Warren Buffett's famous Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A), the highest priced stock and one of the most successful companies during the last half-century, recently announced a stock split to take place next year that would divide its Class B shares (BRK-B) at a ratio of 50 to one. The B shares currently represent 1/30th of the value of the Class A shares and have 1/200th of the per-share voting rights. After the split, this would put the B shares at a little less than $68 per share, based on the recent...	November 28, 2009
Reacting to News: What to Make of Dubai?	Here at "A Dash" we try to identify the best experts on any subject. Since we are free to position our clients in any way, we are consumers of news and analysis. So are you.While I manage client portfolios in real time, my writing is after hours. I am not trying to advise people with short-term trading horizons. Our TCA-ETF approach (still bullish) has a three-week time horizon. Our program for long-term investors has an even longer time frame.When I write, it is an honest assessment o...	November 28, 2009
Book Review: Market Indicators	Every one one us has limited bandwidth for analysis of data. We pick and choose a few ideas that seem to work for us, and then stick with them. That is often best, because good investors settle into investment methods that are consistent with their character. But every now and then it is good to open things up and try to see whether the investment methods can be improved. For those that use market indicators, this is the sort of book that will make one say, “What if? What if I com...	November 28, 2009
In The Age Of Realtime, Twitter Is Walter Cronkite	The year is 1963. It’s November. At 1:40 PM ET, CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite comes on the air. “In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade in downtown Dallas. The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by this shooting.” Rapidly, everyone in America descends upon the closest television set to tune in. Thankfully, we have not yet had a tragedy of that magnitude in the age of the realtime web. But we will. It&rs...	November 27, 2009
This week on TechCrunch: very bad things, irritable Germans, retro fall-outs and shopping til you drop	If you’re anything like me – and let’s for all of our sakes pray that you’re not – then your first thought as you stagger back to your desk today, bloated and giddy after Thanksgiving, will likely be “what can I do to kill time until the end of the week?” Actual work is out of the question, obviously. If you’re a PC person then there’s always Minesweeper, while Mac users can make a start on editing their Thanksgiving videos in iMovie. Linux f...	November 27, 2009
