***SNS*** Differentiating Netbooks, Or: The Great War
“SNS has been a staple of my weekly reading for years. As the economic storm was gathering, Mark and SNS [were] a primary source of information leading me to exit the market one week before the bottom fell out. Not only did we not lose any money, we have moved into safe havens and have been able to increase our net worth during one of the most severe downturns in recent history. SNS has been a valuable source of market intelligence that leads to informed action.” – John K. Thompson, CEO, U.S. Operations, Kognitio Inc.
“Not surprisingly, it looks like FiRe is doing even better in the midst of crisis. Of course: that’s when the awareness and responsive innovation you offer via FiRe are most valuable.” – Bob Jacobson, Lead on U.S. / Shanghai 2010 Expo Team
“SNS is the only newsletter that I pay for with my own money.” – Arthur Hanna, Accenture, in introductory remarks at the International Utilities and Energy Conference in Vancouver, B.C.
“In the world of technology, Mark is the man!” – Kathleen Wilcox, past CEO, Washington Software Alliance / Washington Technology Industry Association
“SNS is even MORE relevant and insightful in these turbulent times.” – Curtis Wong [creator of Worldwide Telescope; Corbis’ CD-ROMs including “Leonardo da Vinci” and “FDR”; and much more], Microsoft
“I have been a devoted fan of Mark Anderson for over a decade – this special alert [SNS: ‘Not a Bottom Call, But a Price Call’]is one more example of why” [and] “Great SNS alert – I shared it with my financial advisor and will probably push it out to more folks who need to read your words. I continue to marvel at the scope and breadth of your universe.” – Dave Davison, Band of Angels, Silicon Valley
“Thank you for helping me think differently.” – Karen Radford, President, TELUS Quebec; and Executive Vice President and President, TELUS Partner Solutions; in a note after Anderson’s recent keynote speech at the CRIM Crystal Ball Conference
“I depend on SNS more than ever now with the economic downturn. Thanks and regards.” – John Baudrexl, Intel Corp.
