Yay... cheap stocks to buy.

Yeah, 10% drop is possible today.  Though owning a non dividend paying share that doesnt have much growth prospects soon isnt too appealing.  Possibly a decent long hold I guess.

Interesting enough, WSJ rate SNE a Hold today.  After reading their reasons for not selling, I am not sure they should sell their mobile unit.  The problem is cutting costs because their revenue is SKY HIGH.  The plot thickens.  Positive is their revenue outpaces the industry.  Negatives (obvious) is that they have problems converting that rev into profit.  You and me would think to sell but investors look at the whole picture.

Its not a bad gamble.  The stock will shoot up over the next two years if these final measures lead to profits in FY 2016.  FY 2015 is obviously  a bust now but FY 2016 is a chance of decent profits and a fast rising stock value.

Well as long as they don't keep tripling or quadrupling their expected loses, like they just did. What kind of gamble did they do with their Mobile Division to incur such loses anyway?
