+\u00a0I’ve lost too much money on biotech. My hard-earned money has “cured cancer” a thousand times. Yup and pigs will fly.<\/p>\n
+ Biogen’s new drug won’t be available for five years. In the next few years they’ll have trials, which might or might not fail.<\/p>\n
Here’s my bottom line:<\/p>\n
I want to invest in businesses whose management has control over their own destiny. That does not include messing with the FDA.<\/p>\n
I like simple businesses, like Netflix, Apple, and Amazon. I know what they do. And I\u00a0 can explain what they do in under a minute. Simple is good.<\/p>\n
You can read more on Biogen and dementia here<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>and here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I hope they get the drug approved. My father-in-law died of dementia. It was heart-wrenching.<\/p>\n Useful stuff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n + The speed of your Internet connection depends on many factors: your raw cable speed, your router (I prefer Netgear), and your equipment. An old iPad or old laptop will slow you down.<\/p>\n + The sun is NOT your friend. Lather suntan cream everywhere — especially on your ears.<\/p>\n + I drove my first Prius on the weekend. It’s super great. It handles well and uses thimbles of gas. At the end of every trip. it tells you how far you went and how much the trip cost you in gas. It’s a super feature. We did one trip for 23 cents.<\/p>\n + Turo is Airbnb for cars to rent. It’s much better — cheaper, more convenient, better cars\u00a0 — than renting from those horrors called Avis, Hertz, etc. Sign up. Click here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>We rented our Prius from Turo.<\/p>\n + Apple’s new 9.7 inch iPad is fantastic. The best they’ve ever made. Here’s their present lineup. It’s the third one from the left.<\/p>\n
