Am I a degenerate investor...YES! Most people will attest to the fact that I have a Wall Street Journal with me everywhere I go. I like reading and taking in data because these bits of data each day may eventually lead to bigger things. I may wanna know about the latest technology that is disrupting 'Business As Usual', random opinions about why gas prices are high, and I even keep up with companies that are Buzzworthy. Some of these are great for talks around the water cooler, others good to know, and just maybe one day I may connect some dots and find something that makes a compelling argument for an investment one day.
Technology Disruptor
VIBER (http://www.viber.com/)
This app for your phone seems like a really cool idea. They've been labeled the Skype for your phone and claim to allow you to call and text any other user for FREE. No user ID is needed because it recognizes your phone number once downloaded and even automatically adds any friends that have VIBER without needing to search and add for those users.
Anyone using this app...please post your feedback
Things that Make You Go Hmmm....
I was listening to people that follow the market and the Gas industry and found the following details interesting:
1) Gas prices have been up every day since Jan 17th
2) Whenever gas has hit $3.80 as a national average...the economy has turned sour
3) From here going into the summer driving season, gas prices usually rise another 26%
Buzzworthy

Zynga - The hitmaker of your favorite apps is making a brake for the 'Online Gaming' industry. Stay tuned.
