| flagship said: Except of course that MS has 9 billion outstanding shares verse Sony's 1 billion, which of course is why Sony had a much higher per share value until recently. Stock price is a reasonably bad indicator as opposed to market cap because some companies like Microsoft are notorious for splitting their stock when the value reaches a certain point (back in the day they reached around $100 a couple times and split to $50), it helps make stock purchases more feasible for regular folks. Anyhow a lot of the Sony's in dire straits is speculation at this point, in other words you need to wait until a week after Sony releases it's quarter reports to see how the news has really impacted the stock. |
Glad to see someone is coming in with some rationality and understanding of how the market works!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
