Tim Westergren 2011 Interview (Part I) -- Pandora.com CEO Tim Westergren



2010 Interview:

2009 Interview with Mrs. Peggy Yu Yu, Co-founder dangdang.com; $DANG

Youku, Dangdang, Youku, Dangdang. Yes, no, yes, no, Yes.

Both DANG and YOKU are extremely oversold and are great buys right here right now.

Technically, they are so overstretched to the downside it's not even funny.

Fundamentally, they are both good stocks for the long haul.  YOKU is the Youtube of China and DANG is the Amazon of China.

Youku, Dangdang, Youku, Dangdang.  Yes yes yes.

Breakout Stock: CBOU


AAPL Is Simply Too Cheap

Yeah, the bears may scare the masses by plundering this fine leader and innovator but at $317 it's such an immense bargain no matter which metric you use to measure cheapness.  It's a buy and it's going to $600.

Precious Metal Bugs Are Loading Up On Bitcoins? $GLD, $SLV, $GG, $GPL, $GOLD

Gold and silver bugs hate fiat and want it gone NOW.  Since it appears that the process is taking forever(?), some are converting their US Dollar fiat into Bitcoins, hoping to make a killing (thousands of percents) most likely.






The people really excited about bitcoins are those that got in at a few pennies, as it is currently trading near $20.  The rest is hoping that it'll go up a few thousand dollars or to infinity after they buy in.  Why does it sound so much like a Ponzi? 

At any rate, bitcoins are not for me. And I suggest to avoid it.

Keep Adding Pandora $P, It Has Magic


You already know what I think of P.

Remember the analyst who slammed the AMZN ipo years ago when it had revenue of $16 million and $6 million loss? Most thought Amazon would never be profitable and would bankrupt itself as it grows.  Ooops, what were they thinking?

Keep buying Pandora and ignore today's analyst with the sell rating and $5.50 price target on P. His sell rating was the major catalyst that spooked traders into dumping the stock.

Perhaps you may want to go experiment with Pandora yourself for a few days and see if the company has vast potential.  I personally think P is the next Netflix (NFLX) but it could be more.  Pandora has amazing technology and is extremely easy (and convenient) to use.  It may not be a profitable business at this time but increased popularity will drive mass adoption, and then they can shove ads down the users' throats, a la Facebook.  (Their subscription model can also be tweaked to increase subscribers. ) Everything changes if Pandora can increase their user base from 100 million to 300-400 million (like Facebook).

The way to play P? Keep buying small on dips for now, then back up the truck as the company shows you the path to profitability in the weeks and months ahead.

There's magic at Pandora.  Just open the box.

Get Ready For The Bounce

This is not the time to sell, but rather the time to buy.  Talk of Greece's default (again) and Jim Cramer's Armaggedon scenerio are contrarian signals to get back in the market.

Today, the SPX got close to 1250 late afternoon, and the bulls came charging back.

Open your wallets and buy some stocks!

My Unfiltered Thoughts On Pandora Media (P)


You're Still A Bunghole For Loading Up On Gold & Silver; $GLD, $SLV, $PSLV


Yeah, you...the stock market bear of bears, the good guy in the world of evil.  You're never gonna invest a dime in the market anymore.  Instead, you're loading up on precious metals, water, guns, bullets, and you're gonna electrify the perimeter of your home (both above and under ground).

Your new mission in life now is to convince all your friends and family or anyone who is willing to listen to you that they too should load up on gold and silver...because the central banks are too stupid and too addicted to printing money.  As a result, your fiat money and everybody's fiat money will go to 0.

You go on the web daily and blast the fed and worldwide central banks for devaluing your hard-earned money.  Your mission takes on a sense of urgency.  Your thinking is that the middle class and the poor are going to be much poorer due to inflation and the coming massive hyperinflation.  You are the savior and you're going to help protect the middle class and the poor.  But first they must listen to you and buy gold and silver with every paycheck they get.  They must take all the money out of their 401ks.  They must do it now.  They must do it yesterday. 

By loading up on precious metals, you and your army of gooddoers help cause prices to move higher and accelerate the destruction of the fiat currency.  Higher prices beget higher prices as more and more people abandon fiat.  You secretly or openly celebrate the eventual destruction of fiat and it can't happen soon enough.   "Die fiat die!" is your favorite weekend chant.  Life will be better for everybody afterwards, you envision.   But, with your AK-47, you'll whack anybody who should come to your property and steal or ask for food/water.  You got some grenades if they all come at once.

Life will be better, really?  If the worse case scenerio plays out, the poor and the middle class will still be much poorer.  Because, let's face it, there's just not that much silver and gold to go around for everybody.  And the rich will stay rich on the other side because they can buy all the precious metals they want in one fell swoop.  They can, they will, and they can do it the very last minute.

What changes?  Nothing.  The rich stays rich, the poor and middle class becomes super poor and Untouchables.  They were better off with the original fiat currency, even as it depreciated decade after decade.

Nothing changes....And you're still a bunghole.

Don't Get Sucked In By The Bear Borg Collective

We're seeing signs that insiders are finally coming back and buying stocks, for the very first time in a very long time.

This coming gigantic bull market (green tech, mobile tech, and social media) is destined to pull everyone back from the brink of the collective Bear Borg depressive mind state.  The chatterbox Borgs, who will probably never ever invest another dime in the markets again (aside from loading up on precious metals and burying them in the backyards),  have been successfully converting the confused masses by endlessly feeding them black death juice.


Hopefully, you won't be the last one in as Dow marches towards 36,000.  You can't fight the bull anymore.  Come back, come back to the light.

The Promise of Electric Vehicles

"...Our long term success will only be insured by the adoption of our product by paying consumers and our ability to make and sustain a product while delivering it on a profitable basis. However, for this and other promising early stage energy technologies to gain a foothold in a market monopolized by the large incumbents, policy makers and legislators must take action and create breathing room for these new technologies to gain a foothold in the commercial marketplace. This must happen if we ever have a hope to achieve the larger national and economic security advantages of a diversified transportation energy sector..."

Don't Get Scared; Buy The Dip This Week


We should get a rally Tuesday.  Both Madmoney and Fastmoney were negative last night.  Almost without fail, when both segments have the same strong sentiment on the same day...the market goes contrarian on the following day.  In the long term scheme of things this contrary play is meaningless, but for the immediate short term you can make some dough.  Futures are already gapping up huge.

The market is now very very oversold in the intermediate term as well and a reversal could be at hand any day now.  The risk/reward doesn't favor shorting stocks here. 

Q2 is about to end at the end of this month.  It's likely why market participants have been jittery lately.  We probably don't need Q3.  The full effects of Q2 hasn't been felt yet until about 12-24 months later, which means the stock market will be on massive nitro bull mode in 2012.  Bears, you've been warned.

Jamie Dimon: The Economy Is Getting Stronger


(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon is upbeat on the prospects for the world's largest economy, telling investors on Thursday that pessimism is overdone and the economy is actually "getting stronger."

"The underlying dynamics are pretty good, pretty broad-based and getting stronger, not weaker," Dimon said.

U.S. companies have the most cash in decades and are making "good profits," said Dimon, who heads the second-biggest U.S. bank by assets.

"The consumer is far stronger than two or three years ago," added Dimon, who was speaking at a Sanford C.Bernstein investor conference.
