Amazon Echo speaks to the future (Plus Amaris update and upcoming appearances)

Let’s do this week’s Trading With Cody Subscriber Live Q&A Conference Call at 2pm ET today. We’ll get a podcast and a transcript of the call posted and send it out to you before I go head out for Albuquerque this evening. Join me on the phone (Dial-in: #: 641-715-0700 Access Code: 709981), in the Trading With Cody chat room or just email us your question.

Personal note

Amaris has been sick for a week and hospitalized with pain since Monday with Lori, my wife. They have finally figured out that she is suffering from pancreatitis. She’s finally getting some relief and Lyncoln and I headed up to Albuquerque to see her tonight.

A couple upcoming appearances to note

I’ll be giving the commencement speech at Western New Mexico University in Silver City on Friday.

Next Monday, I’m headed to speak at the Money Show in Las Vegas and to network/research at the SALT Conference. Come by if you can!

Let’s talk…no really, let’s talk

Let’s hit on Amazon’s new Echo Show device that is a voice-enabled house assistant that includes a touch screen (most likely an Android-based touch screen like Amazon’s Fire devices. Essentially, this Amazon Echo Show device will work as a prototype for them to perfect the upcoming Echo smartphone that I’ve been telling you will be coming one day.

This is what I mean when I tell people that Alexa is driving us to a future where you won’t have to swipe your screens to interact with apps.

“You shouldn’t be compelled to go and interact with the screen — you should be able to do it with your voice,” Mr. Limp said in a product briefing. “It’s very different from traditional computing as we’ve known it for the last three decades.”

Apple and Google will eventually catch up with the idea that we’re going to speak to our devices (including our smartphones) and we will also have many other shortcuts to pull up (and/or download) apps by the hundreds on our smartphones, TVs, computers, refrigerators, Echo-Show’s, etc. (PS. The IAm Apps are positioned for this revolution…)

Speaking of The IAm Apps, we’ve just released The IAm Stock Trader’s Almanac App for iPhone and for Android. My old friend Jeffrey Hirsch will also be in Vegas speaking at the Money Show next week and he asked me to invite you guys to his upcoming webinar:
