Much more upside to come for Nokia


The new Nokia Lumia

There’s been a burgeoning of demand for Nokia stock – there was more than double the average volume yesterday (17 Dec 2012). I’m not surprised: I tipped then back on 5 September 2012, when they were $2.55 - and they're now $4.18. And I believe there is still considerable upside to come – measured in multiples of the current price and not just a percentage increase – and for the following reasons:
1.   Nokia hold a veritable treasure trove of patents – many of which predate even the existence of their rivals
2.   The new Nokia phone integrates some phenomenal technologies  - ‘Here’ mapping and award-winning PureView picture technology – into something that deserves more than just the name “camera” or “satnav”. The Economist said, ‘Nokia’s 41-megapixelsmartphone camera uses its embarrassment of pixels to take good pictures in dimlight and simulate a reasonable zoom lens’. This beast rocks. 
3.   The Microsoft Windows Phone 8 OS will show some true pace as the seamless integration of phone and tablet or PC (remember those?) becomes a pre-requisite for any serious mobile user

Nokia stock has outperformed Apple by more than 40% overpast three months and Nokia’s ongoing surge (ending $4.20 today) relative toApple is changing the mental game ahead of December quarter reports. 

Plus: there’s the new deal with China Mobile!

As I said - lots of upside to come

Short Story: 'Nothing Left'

Nothing Left Albert had fed all his bread to the swans. The swans didn’t know that of course and continued to pester him. It was of no consequence to them that tears were running steadily into his beard or that his rheumy eyes were feeling all of their eighty-four years. Albert had told them everything. Who else was there to tell? ‘Grandad, can I borrow £20 pounds, just to tide me over until pay day,’ was how it had all started. Albert remembered this first request from David. Albert had been watching TV and, before giving his usual very considered response, had sent two puffs of smoke into the centre of the drawing room and taken his pipe out of his mouth. ‘Of course you can old chap. When’s payday then?’ ‘It’s…er…a week Thursday Grandad.’ Albert had been a little disconcerted by the ‘er’. In his day he’d known exactly how long it was to payday. Nevertheless, he’d opened his floppy, shiny wallet, smiled fleetingly at his late wife Sarah’s photograph and tak

Asperger's Syndrome and Migraines

I wrote about my son Richard’s Asperger’s Syndrome condition here last year . It was meant to be a light-hearted piece (I hope it was taken this way) about humorous aspects of Asperger’s Syndrome. Here’s a post about the not-so-funny side of Asperger’s Syndrome. A few months ago Richard’s infrequent migraines began to become frequent, then regular, and then, over time, almost daily – and many of them were severe, necessitating several hours under the bedclothes, in bed with curtains tightly shut. A visit to the doctor resulted in different pills (as a substitute for Migraleve), which made no difference at all. I did some research, including consulting a medical colleague, and found that the circumstances above (that is: almost residing in one’s bedroom) can lead to a sunshine deficiency and hence vitamin D deficiency, as described by Dr. Mercola here. Further research, on the net, showed that migraine sufferers respond positively to the vitamin supplements of D3, B12 a
