The HTC Touch
September 7, 2007
Over the past several years, there has been a significant move towards the development of the mobile handset. For some companies, it has been a rewarding venture (Apple, Nokia) while for others it has been a struggle (Motorola, Siemens, Sanyo). A few that have been quietly changing the landscape of the handset market rather unnoticed such as HTC. WHO?
HTC is the Taiwanese company that provides cutting edge smart phone technologies. It was founded in 1997 as High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC). According to their own statements: HTC designs, manufactures and markets innovative, features for Smartphone and PDA Phone devices. Since its establishment, HTC has developed strong R&D capabilities, pioneered many new designs and product innovations, and launched state-of-the-art PDA Phones and Smartphones for mobile operators and distributors in Europe, the US, and Asia. These machines are available as HTC devices and as products individually customized for operator and device partners.
Just how are they growing? Well, let’s put it this way, F A S T ! Over the past few years, revenues have accelerated due to the Microsoft partnership. This little known company has been serving up an amazing array of top shelf communication devices.
The latest breed will run the latest Windows Mobile 6, which by most reviews is going to be a major step towards real competition to the RIMM Blackberry device (RIMM) . There has been some recent talk about the potential for Microsoft to purchase RIMM . But the critics of this idea have a great point: The incompatibility of the devices will not make for an accretive transaction, unless one is simply removed from the market. That is a hard thought to believe as the RIMM has become the device of choice/need for government and enterprise businesses.
The HTC Advantage has been said to be the fastest and most powerful Windows Mobile device available. It will provide benefits of a true mobile office along with better push email technologies. (Still not as good as Blackberry Devices though)
The outlook for HTC continues to be bright as the product line up is rather amazing. The TOUCH (yes the touch) is the latest in the touch-screen line ups that has been available in Europe and Asia. The big question is what does this mean to the iPhone and Apple (AAPL)? The obvious question is: Who had the name first? As we all know by now, Apple introduced the iPod Touch this week to muted fanfare. There will surely be a backlash as the argument over name and trademarks will ensue.
In the end, the HTC partnership for Microsoft has been a breath of fresh air as they have been struggling with design issues for several years. One word sums this up: ZUNE. Never the less, with the addition of the latest HTC smartphones and the Windows Mobile 6, Microsoft should be able to maintain a decent share of this market as it is estimated that upwards of 30 new phone models will have
Several sources have estimated:
–Worldwide revenue for mobile phones is expected to total $117.5
billion in 2010, an 18% drop from 2006
– GSM phones made up 45% of worldwide mobile phone revenue in 2006,
smartphones made up 18%, and the remainder was made up by CDMA, W-CDMA, and CDMA2000 phone sales
– Worldwide revenue for the small but fast growing smartphone segment
grew 10% in 1Q07 from 4Q06, driven by the wider availability of 3G, which
unlocks the media application potential of smartphones beyond email
– In 2006, 20% of total mobile phone revenue came from North America,
34% from EMEA, 36% from Asia Pacific, and 10% from CALA
– The number of mobile subscribers grew 26% to 2.5 billion in 2006
The upshot for Microsoft is great, particularly as they gain share in the business market. With Microsoft’s profit Margin of 27.5%, ROE of 52% and a 5 yr EPS growth rate of 11.54%, it is still a company worth owning. Would we buy now? YES! Under $30 is a price that will help to bring over the next few years. Don’t expect for this to be a high-flier, rather a slow steady play.

By rho…I found this after hearing Andrew on Aaron Task’s podcast. After 4 shows, its now a keeper on the list. Very solid and practical advice. Recommended for beginner and experienced investors alike.
5 Stars
Informative for all investors!
By phant…
After 15 years of investment experience, there is very little that perks my interest in the way of investment advice. Mr. Horowitz, however, is able to provide an entertaining podcast that will hook his listeners regardless of their expertise, income level, or portfolio totals. It is the right mix of guest interviews, ideas, and Mr. Horowitz’s own personal touch to make The Disciplined Investor a must listen for all.
5 Stars
Solid info & interviews
By j.v…
It’s nice to have a CFP’s angle on the investing side. Lots of good info about market pieces that aren’t necessarily fundamentals or technicals. The interviews are well done and insightful. This is a good podcast to help me round out my investing resources.

By KelronThis has to be one of the best investment programs out there. If you are just starting to get interested in investing, you won’t find a better informed podcast. Thanks guys. I really have learned a lot.
4 Stars
So far, so great…
By canpmhI’m relatively new to this podcast, but so far I love the frequency, the variety of topics, the length and the caliber of guests. Mostly, the theme, disciplined investing, appeals to me – setting this apart from the saturation of investing information that is more “du jour” style and individual stock focused, these podcasts are highly relevant even when listened to several weeks after release.
5 Stars
Disciplined investor fan!
By evan.swa…I have listened to the last 4 podcasts and this is easily one of my favorites in terms of getting interesting perspectives on various investment topics. Andrew’s podcast is a little more advanced than the “plain talk” podcasts that the major investment companies provide but not too advanced that you need a Master’s degree to understand him. He is also very good at passing along the resources that he uses to get good investment ideas & information. For example, this podcast is where I first heard about wikinnvest.com.
5 Stars

By red…I learned about this podcast through Aaron Task’s “The Real Story” podcast. I’ve only listened to 4 podcasts so far and they are terrific. Andrew presents his investing topics in a straightforward and understandable way. I recommend it to people getting started in investing and those that have been around for a while. Great insight.
5 Stars
Great podcast!!!
By MtterThis is an awesome tool!! Very informative!! Sometimes “basic concepts” just get glazed over because they are considered “basic”. This podcast presents information in a way that even someone like me, a new investor, can grasp. Please keep up the nice work. It is greatly appreciated!!
5 Stars
Great show
By ScottMNI just found this podcast, and being new to the investing world, I can use all the advice and insight I can get. It’s a nice change of pace to not be constantly screamed at (boooo-ya!) by someone who is certifiable.
Andrew Horowitz doesn’t come across as trying to push his agenda on anyone, and promotes sound investing strategies. I would recommend his show to anyone.
5 Stars

If you’re a novice, the explanations Andrew gives are very easy to understand. The only negative is there are not enough episodes!! Keep up the good work Andrew!
4 Stars
Good show
By WaptiInteresting approaches to react to the changes in the market. There is lots to learn from these podcasts and listening has helped me expand my investing horizons. First few shows were better because the host allowed his guests to explain their perspective. In later shows the host often talks while his guests have to struggle to get a word in edgewise.
5 Stars

Horowitz reminds you to think about all of the ways an investor thinks during a volatile period. The listener is reminded of the varying emotions and ideas they have had over the last month or two.
There are great buys out there and Horowitz keeps a cool head while looking for those great buys in the market.

Great Podcast to Learn about Investing
By kastemjGives a unique investing perspective and keeps it pleasing to digest. Little wordy, but very professional.
5 Stars
Very Fundamentally Sound Advice
By EJB3Rather than taking a “hot stock of the week” approach, he emphasizes diversification including specific securities to include. He points out the advantages of the undercovered preferred stock area. An excellent listen especially in volatile times.
5 Stars
A CT investor
By r…59 days ago I picked up my iPhone @ Apple Danbury. Since then, I have been downloading business/investing podcasts off of iTunes with mixed results. Las Friday, I downloaded the Disciplined Investor. During my drive to CT on Friday evening, I listened to the August 19th broadcast and it was different. It was calm, covered things I had not thought about, and the speaker actually made sense. So I replayed it and picked up somethings that I had missed. I think this podcast can help me become a better investor. I am going to continue listening because this is the type a podcast I was looking for but have not been able to find. Thank you Andrew Horowitz. I look forward to a rewarding relationship.

Excellent investment podcast for the beginner to advanced
By blood…This podcast doesn’t tell you about doubling your money in 2 hours, or make a million a day trading, or tell you the hot stocks. What it does is educate the investor. It discusses the important news & how it affects investments & the markets. While I have a handful of podcasts I may listen to at work, this is one that makes it to my ipod. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to rationally handle their money. Deal with risk, and understand that investing & gambling are not always the same thing.

This podcast has jumped to the top of my list
By Johnoe…I’ve listened to many business and investing shows on here, and Andrews show is by far one of the best. I especially like his common sense market insights. Common sense. What a concept. The show guests are top notch, timely and informative. Keep up the great podcasting!

A great podcast
By Not the real Steven ColbertI enjoy hearing the latest financial news, however most of the podcast are so dry and dull, it’s painful to listen to. Not so with the disciplined investor. He speaks financials in a way that anyone can understand, and keeps you up to date with not only the how, but the WHY behind the market moves. Keep up the great work.

Excellent use of your time!
By FJA0912Information conveyed clearly, timely, and is actionable is something I’d pay for on this topic, yet this is free. I’m surprised by how much valuable information he shares when compared with other podcasts, and I’ve listened to them all. This is an excellent value and use of your time to subscribe.

Important Listening!
By S. SchaeferI’ve read all the newsletters, many of the “known” books, but I have rarely come across such timely and well-reasoned information about the markets. The DI is superbly balanced with actionable advice and meditations on market psychology. Horowitz is sharp at picking stocks, sure, but he’s wise about market psychology, drawing from Behavioral Finance at times, but also from his own experience of the market. I listen primarily to widen my own perspective on the current situation- to push myself to think about those things I tend to avoid- like preferred stocks, let’s say. I find this podcast reminds me about opportunities that arise only occasionally, under certain conditions. You will learn plenty of new things here but also you will find the confidence to act on what your already know.

Great educational podcast
By (@@)This podcast takes the time to explain many things that other podcasts just gloss over. As a new investor, this is something that I really appreciate. The matching website is a bit lacking in detail, and would benefit from the same attention that is paid to the podcast

Started well, losing steam
By SchulzNYMI really enjoyed the discussion in the first few episodes, but I think the show has gotten off track.
There is WAY too much promotion of the podcast within the podcast. Asking for a review or asking people to subscribe is great for a few seconds at the end of the show. I now find myself dumping the podcast a minute in because I’m already tired of the self-promotion. Also, too much time talking about CNBC’s contest. I want to hear about real money, not pretend money.
Despite these objections, I think the advice is really solid and, most of all, level-headed, which is SO hard to find today. Just cut down on the sales job, and remember when someone is listening to the podcast, you’re already preaching to the choir.

Keep up the good work
By SeneschalI have nothing bad to say about Jim Cramer (although it will seem like it here). Where Cramer’s TV show/books are entertaining they often feel preachy; in contrast these podcasts trend to the informative.
When talking about stocks, a fine line of informative v. preachy is walked. The Disciplined Investor does a wonderful job of explaining specific stocks and theory (in an adult way, mind you) that is more informative (but still entertaining) rather than defensively trying to convince the audience a certain point of view.
Keep up the good work, I’ve learned a lot.

Balanced & Thorough
By avantgardAndrew presents his views on the market in a very level-headed manner. As the title implies, he stresses a disciplined and a mostly passive investment strategy with zen-like tone. The show is not necessarily about stock-picking, but about the overall market, sentiment, and fundamental/technical analysis. There are often guests on the show that also bring key insights to the fray.
It’s always a pleasure to listen in…if only you did a daily show! Keep up the great work and good luck with your book launch!

A good listen
By PtortAs a financial professional with a major broker dealer I’m finding Andrew does a great job touching on a lot of outside the box ideas on investing. If you’re tired of the full-on bull market type of articles or podcasts, Horowitz is refreshing and as concerned with protecting investor gains as the gains themselves.

Great investor podcast
By at…The Discipline Investor is a great podcast for normal and sophisticated investor who wants to know what is going on in the market. It talks about prediction of the markets, international markets and current affairs in the US market. Furthermore, it recently had Harry Dent, a renowned speaker about the coming depression in the US in 2010 as a guest speaker. This podcast will keep up-to-date on what you really should know about!
