Zynga Down 74% Since IPO, But Could Have Things Been Different?
I think that Zynga could have captured the market better it just needed better management. What I would have done as CEO would have been different.
1.) First Zynga should have created different types of games - meaning generate rpgs, shooters, maybe branched out risk a little by having a variety. all of their games were the same thing collect coins and stars and build stuff. maybe they should have branched out more
2.) Second is the same as above. Use the cash they raised on the stock market to hire a good dev team to create multiple top selling games that are different than their first popular ones.
3.) Real money gambling is stringent in the U.S. but should have done more to target out other territories where it isn't.
4.) A lot of the money transactions for the games was how to advance faster. Maybe they should have added like cosmetic items as well where someone would be willing to spend something to make their avatar/character unique in some way compared to others.
Those are a few things I would have done different as CEO of Zynga. So you are right Zynga had the opportunity for a different future. Now it has to live with what is has created.

Everyone has the right to short stocks but when you make up statements about a company without verified facts just to make a profit then its not only immoral but illegal. would like the SEC to take more action like this.

Valeant Edges Up 15% After Announcing That It Will Acquire Salix
I think it is an okay deal but now Valeant has taken on more debt. Valeant already had billions of dollars in debt. With this acquisition occurring Valean'ts Debt will go to $31 billion dollars. Salix knew their problems with debt so I guess they figured to sell themselves to someone else. What do you think of the deal?
Valeant Edges Up 15% After Announcing That It Will Acquire Salix
Valeant is known to buy out big R&D companies and then improve sales on their products. But Allergan didn't want to sell to Valeant because Allergan wants to maintain its big R&D department. Valeant would have cut R&D spending on Allergan if it had acquired it.

RadioShack Files For Bankruptcy
This is not a huge surprise. I think I saw this coming years ago because brick and mortar stores are starting to diminish as the years go by. I think that Radio shack could have saved itself if it started to switch slowly to online sales and then eventually stay all online sales.

3 Things Apple Does Not Want Its Investors Paying Attention To
I think I agree with what your saying completely. I have watched Apple over the years and they are just not innovating much anymore. They can only drag on with the iphone and ipad cycles for so long until people grow tired of upgrading all the time. Plus competitors are starting to gain traction in the smartphone space.
I think the IWatch idea can somehow work but it has to be launched with certain features. I mean if the watch has the same features as the phone then why buy it? I have to agree with Pacific Crest neutral rating" because right now a lot of investors and analysts are in wait and see mode. In other words is there something secret in the back of the pipeline they don't know about? If not then I don't see Apple returning back to the growth it had a few years ago and may eventually end up like Microsoft.
