The Frager Factor: Cloud Stocks Doubled in 2011 and Will Double Still in 2012- Got Your Share?: "bout the Talkin’ Cloud Stocks Index*
We do not offer buy, sell or hold recommendations on these stocks. Rather, we highlight key cloud computing, SaaS, PaaS and IaaS trends using this index coupled with our blogs (Talkin’ Cloud, MSPmentor and The VAR Guy).
Generally speaking, we update the index each Friday. We note the week’s biggest winners and losers, recent cloud computing developments, and upcoming earnings announcements.
Most of the index members are pure cloud companies. But a few (Amazon.com, Google and Intuit) are transitioning into the cloud space."

Sunday’s 10 Random Thoughts | Domain Shane: " Often we have no idea how many people we influence on a daily basis and we shouldn’t take it for granted.

8. I’m looking for an improved economy. It’s hard for me to use my nursery economic index yet because it’s early but so far so good. The stock market is looking strong, domain sales are going well, and the winter was mild. Don’t take for granted what a mild winter can do for an economy. The economy is based on people spending money and when weather is cold and snowy they don’t spend as much. We had none of that this year. The money that was spent was reinvested and put back to work. I think businesses, including domain sales are going to be strong this year."

Sunday’s 10 Random Thoughts | Domain Shane: "While the blogs are very open and certainly share great info, if you really want to learn you’ll have to develop relationships with others in your industry and have personal discussions. How do you do this? Go where they meet or set up meetings. Conferences are a great start. Emails work as well. The key is to not be a brain picker or an ideal stealer but rather a sharer.

6. Everyone needs a mentor in every business. To find someone that is a friend that has been there, done that, is worth more than any paid education can offer."

Sunday’s 10 Random Thoughts | Domain Shane: "There is not much they can do but as long as the owners have time to renew the domains AFTER the auction ends. There is always going to be the domainers that email the original owner to remind them to renew and hope to buy it cheaper than the auction. Until there is a fix, the higher the price, the larger chance the buyers aren’t going to get the name."
