No, the thing I'm saying, and others, is that Sony now has a normalized market value of a 83% of what it had in 1982, as the accumulated CPI of Japan in these years is roughly a 20%, so now you need a market cap of a 20% more than in 1982 to have the same normalized market cap, so the company has much less value now than 30 years ago. This is why inflation is important.

I try, really I do, but you guys seem to always go out of your way to post baseless made up things and then the lengths taken to defend it only makes it worse
if I got nickel for every time I said "it can't be that hard" I'd have like 50 cent
in today's episode of things I just made up:
Inflation clearly only effects Sony instead the whole worlds economy, they are worth less now than they were 30 years ago (becasue some how that makes sense) ignoring the fact that the overall worth and loss would have been adjusted due to inflation to equal basically the same thing, becasue I need to tell myself anything to make Sony's position look way worse than it actually is becasue the raped my grandma and killed my dog at the same time...I guess right?
that's what I read... am I doing it wrong?

A little bit of humility and saying "I was wrong" from time to time isn't going to kill you, you know.

nice with the extra effort, this kinda of info needs to be in the threads more often. I might be just inspired enough now to work out how much cash/debt apple would need to leverage a buy out, i know they are using something like 56 billion of there cash hall for buybacks/dividens, but that still leaves around another 50 billion on hand and they are debt free

So if Sony was worth the same 100 billion back then, they would be worth the same amount now? if these losses were posted back then, it would be the same amount now. you guys are aware inflation effects the whole of the world and not just Sony right? the reaching here is starting to get worrying, (it used to be funny but now it's sad) |
perhaps you should take your own advice and read the post.
No one mentioned losses here. we were talking about the price of a stock 30 years ago vs now. if it was worth the same # of dollars now as 30 yewars ago per share it has lost value as inflaiton has made the dolloar worth less.

Sorry, what? Microsoft does not have nearly enough money to buy Sony, they already overlap in the key market of gaming, Sony is bleeding money at the moment, and Nintendo did not buy and has no plans to buy Sega. My mind would only be blown because it's about as likely as Apple buying Samsung. Sony will need to restructure and sell off quite a few of its divisions, but I'm pretty sure it will still exist a decade from now, just as a smaller company (focusing on gaming, home electronics and phones). |
Microsoft makes more profit per year than Sony is worth.
