The next big thing...

I read it from some investment email newsletter, Motley fools, saying that the next big thing would be 'cloud computing'. Buying those company's stocks now would be like buying Microsoft, AOL, Amazon, Yahoo, etc right at the beginning!!! They're going to revolutionize the industry again! Supposedly cloud computing will help companies or whatever users minimize IT expenses. Instead of buying software and install it on your PC, we can simply use whatever software we need remotely. Similar to surfing and browsing the net... essentially it'll be like doing everything over the net... all we'll be needing is just a browser! No need to buy additional hardware or software... basically we use this virtual services as if we're using electricity... as needed basis. Pay as we go.

Hmm, I wonder if it's really going to take off though. Wouldn't security become an issue? Even today, who knows what google or yahoo's checking up on us... keeping a tab on what we're doing? Even on this blogger site, even if we lock it up so that nobody else can read it..., surely blooger.com admins will still be able to read it, right? ;)

Anyway, I guess it won't hurt to buy some of those company's stocks. My 401k money can't be withdrawn anyway..., plus retirement is still a long ways away. Betting a few thousand shouldn't be too big of a deal. If Motley Fools were right, I should be reaping large rewards later on! ;)

Well, Lord, what will really be the next big thing? How can I make wise investments instead of just burying my money in the ground? Given today's falling market, one really feel like we ought to do just that..., but may God give us insight on various opportunities...
