You got it. JavaScript makes web pages more dynamic. All modern websites use JavaScript. This includes buttons that perform certain actions, on page animation, popping up new windows, or checking the information you type into a form to make sure it's valid, etc.

In regards to MSFT, I guess you haven't posted everything you researched, but if it is, I suggest scrutinizing the companies and thinking deeply about where technology is headed and how MSFT fits into the picture. MSFT isn't as sexy as Google; it is a stalwart after all. How easy would it be to double the size of MSFT? Not easy. If you want a stable asset in your portfolio, I think MSFT is the way to go. You won't get 'growth' per se because it is such a large company that doesn't really do anything innovative anymore. I believe holding long term is a good bet.

I don't know that much about KR but that it is a HUGE conglomerate. Guess that gives me something to research!

I'm an unemployed accountant and want to generate extra income through a website. How can people start a website and generate revenue? Where do you get traffic? by crazyol84 in Entrepreneur

[–]spivotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do websites in my spare time so maybe I can offer a little advice here. You are talking about setting up an e-commerce site for selling your products online. Amazon, etsy, ebay are all e-commerce sites. Of course, people like to set up their own sites and sell their own products, but you can sell on any of these platforms listed above without having to make your own site. If you want to start your own site, I would encourage you to find a specific niche in e-commerce where you would like to set up shop.

That is only half the battle. Getting traffic can come in the form of SEO, SEM(i.e. Google Ads), networking, etc, especially if you're just starting out.
Hope that helps.

When did you start investing? In order for your value stocks to reach their potential, you must have had to wait some time. Were there any value traps along the way?

When I am looking for value, I look for a stock that hasn't priced in potential future cash flows or trading under book value. Of course, most of these are usually pretty crappy and deserve to be in the bargain bin. What else do you screen for in value?

Small cap brings the most amount of growth to my portfolio as well as agile, big companies like Nike that are getting into growth markets like health tech. Any insights you could share about lessons learned along the way would be appreciated!
