[NICOSIA] Cyprus' central bank said on Thursday most of the depositors who lost money at bailed-out Bank of Cyprus were from overseas and that Cypriots had not been hit as hard as might have been expected.
"Seventy per cent of the value of deposits concerned overseas residents, leaving Cypriot households and businesses unaffected to a greater extent than was possibly expected," Central Bank of Cyprus Governor Panicos Demetriades told a news conference.
He said overall 96 per cent of deposits in Cyprus were unaffected by losses on larger accounts required by the eurozone in exchange for aid to the overly indebted country. - Reuters

Bro, it is the explosion that drives the price up !!!

Apple grew because of
1. ipod
2. iphone
3. ipad
4. itunes (revenue generating - more products above sold, more music, video, app software sold - recurring revenue)

think microsoft in the past. think intel in the past. think htc in the past. think 3 d printing. think google. think amazon.
it is the explosion of demand that drives stock prices. Look at autocad - because of 3d, stock price shot up.
the key is identify the next trend.... thats where the big dollar is made.

no need to invest a lot lah.... but this are the multibaggers... you just need to get in early.... I went in 3 d printing, I went in 4g lte. difficult to share with you... but really need to do alot of research.

Cheers....:cheers4::cheers4::cheers4::cheers4::cheers4:

btw bro, I am talking about betting on top 2 or 3 companies in each arena....

just look at the revenue from apps
Revenues from Apple's (AAPL) App Store exceed $15M per day, while revenue from Google's (GOOG) Google Play are at $3.5M per day, app store research company distimo reported, according to TechCrunch

So the more google phones and iphone out there, the more money collected.

one caveat is that a lot of google apps are following the "ad-supported" model ... so they give you the app for free, but each time you launch it, there's a tiny ad that appears on top. this isnt taken into consideration for "app store revenue", unless im mistaken. but yeap .. the more they throw android on anything that sticks, the more money they should (technically) make.
