Personally, I gave up on cable TV years ago and have not regretted it since. I was paying way too much, for too much that I didn't need.
All my devices - from my computer, tablet, and phone, to my TV itself and all its peripherals (dvd player, surround sound system, Xbox, Media player, Apple TV etc., have so many options for streaming. I believe I can get 95% of what I want to watch online. And the rest can easily be found via less... ahem, legal means (aka downloading, torrents, illegal streaming sites, etc.).
I suspect the only solution will be far cable providers to start charging much more for internet, and much less for TV.
Agreed. With falling oil prices, companies' costs are falling while Americans are getting extra cash to by more products. That can be a game changer for any company that needs a boost to its bottom line. I'm more optimistic than the author.
Nice article! It takes a brave person to say it like it is, especially when it comes to Apple. That company has more blind love than any other. But it's important to keep emotion out of it and just look at the cold hard facts when it comes to investing.
Excellent article Corey, and I agree completely. You may want to check out Steven Hansen's piece on India. He has much to say on the topic as well, I think you'll enjoy it:
