The mobile application analytics Platform Flurry compared the starting sales of iPhone, Nexus One and Motorola Droid. And they found some interesting facts.

I stumbled over a very interesting project today. The guys at the Planet Money Blog recently bought  their own Toxic Asset to visualize the financial crisis the best way. And we, the readers, can track what happens with it. So we can see, if this Toxic Asset dies or if they even make money with their investment.

It’s all explained in this article, which features a very nice cartoon. And after you know how the project of Planet Money works you are able to track the destiny of this Toxic Asset right here.

And by the way, they are still searching for a name for that Toxic Asset.

For most investors and traders risk is something they need to accept in order to come up with decent returns. Most of the times risk is measured in your account by how much you are losing when trading different positions. But sometimes risk shifts and it is not measured in the account any longer. When this occurs some positions can be made bigger without risking more but you need to know how to find out when this happens.
