    Msft must get into some serious bussiness with solar energy.It has the resources of more than 30 countries and could use some of that capital to make a real impact on world use of fossil fuels.As far as getting involved in the internet again:They want to pay all those lawyers and money to the europeans for daring undercut the statis be?The socialist(closet commies)will never agree to Msft competing on their markets.Just see how BA has been treated in comparison to Airbus.I think msft is only thinking how they will get a foothold in china.Forgetaboutit!Ch... isn't worth it and if you got any technology that they can steal they will and not give you squat for it.Goodday.

    I agree with the above poster. SBUX might never reach 40 again, but it is currently undervalued. They have an outstanding brand which isn't going to die anytime soon. They know what they did wrong, they're fixing it, but it's going to take some time to get back to the coffee basics. I'm waiting 2 quarters before I BUY. Reply

    MSFT should walk away at this point. YHOO declines in value each passing day and is it really worth the grief to try and integrate such differing cultures especially when their is so much animosity at YHOO.

    MSFT would be much better served by walking away and instead making TWX and offer for AOL instead. That would be a win/win. MSFT gets the foothold it is looking for and Time Warner gets to unload a boat anchor that has been dragging on it's performance and valuation.

    Honestly I don't understand why MSFT does not try to partner with a cable company or make a bid for a satellite company like DISH. There might be antitrust issues but, imagine the impact on say an MSFT, AOL, DISH combination on Google.

    Regardless at this point the bid for YHOO is just a used wipe who's time has come to be flushed.........

    What would be my bets on this? I'm thinking May $25 Put's against YHOO and May $32 calls for MSFT.     Reply

    SBUX is not going away. I expect this name to be much higher once they make the needed adjustments to their business model. This is a 2-3 year ordeal. Reply

    I said I would get back to this site when V hit 75$- and tonight in after-hours it has done just that. I have changed my handle from BuyV- to V Winner- and also proved a valuable point.

    To those of you that doubted me and this stock, I have just one word that encapsulates what you are: LOSERS

    By the way, there is no 'Sean Miller'- look at 'his' bio- and you will see that this is a pen name- as I have said all along anyone can post an analysis on this site. The problem with that is that you have people with no experience or investment knowledge doing so. My guess is that 'Sean' is actually Joanne (see 'her' earlier post). The reason I say that is that she didn't know that an underwriter can't loan shares to short an IPO for 30 days. She also didn't know that V included all global properties (other than Europe). By demonstrating that she knew very little about investments, and nothing about IPOs- she was probably too embarrassed to use her real name even if that was her name even it 'it' was a her.

    Bottom line- I own several thousands of shares as a core position- also trade this stock daily. To date- I have generated a a fortune on this stock. It has been one of the best experiences I have ever had. I am smiling from ear to ear right now looking at the bid price of 75.00 at 6:49pm :)

    Yes, V will have some corrections- as all stock does. BUT- this stock went from 58$ to 75$ in a little over a month- and its just starting its run. New institional ownership is less than 5%- and when the float gets soaked up- this stock will break out like a mofo. I expect $100. by the end of summer. The market has finally woken up to the fact the sky is not falling in- and after we broke the 12.900 dow resistance today- we are on the cusp of a run that should take us past 15.000 w/in the next few months.

    A few final words:

    Wez- You are a loser- I know you can't afford to buy the stock. You probably frequent peep shows too- as I'm sure you can't afford a real woman. Do yourself a favor- open up a virtual stock account and you can pretend you are like those of us that actual invest in V as opposed to spread their negativity.

    Buy Foreclosures- You are a loser too- I understand why a bottom feeder (the carp of the financial world)- who makes a living profiting of other's misfortune- can't understand those of us with triple-digit IQs -

    Adesai- You are a WINNER buddy- another true believer - congrats.

    Jim West- nice talking with you too- good luck !

    The best accolades for last:

    Green Capitalist- I love you man! I learned about Intrepid Potash from you- I bought it at 48.25 and sold it all the next day- I'm going to give my old benz to my wife and buy a new one on the money I made on that deal alone- thanks bro.

    To all of you that actually hold stock in V-good luck- see you at $100.

    @karchad: you obviously do not see beyond your nose. you just guess and gamble. You have seen this happen before? give me a break! A crisis about which everybody who is even remotely involved states that it is unprecedented. But you "know" and have seen it. what a crap.
    And by the way: going by your logic you bought the nasdaq at about 2.000 back in 2001. great long-term investment. amzn slightly up, yhoo way down, nasdaq pretty much unchanged. not bad for 7 years time while the dollar's purchasing power has dropped by at least 25% due to inflation. potato, anyone?

    Is it possible that insiders buy to avoid potential takeovers? Or even to be in a position to negotiate a better deal for a takeover/merge when it indeed happens, instead of leaving the decisions to the external forces? Just wondering. Just because insiders go on a buying binge may not mean the companies are doing good. There is no doubt that the economy will turn around and the market would do much better, in the coming years. But I think its just misleading, or even foolishness to follow the insiders, and lose sight of the fundamentals and market trends. Reply

    Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round, 4/9/08: Ivan Jilts Cramer [view article]
    TRN is grossly underpriced, and it has completed a bottoming process and is now turing up again. Cramer loved it at almost twice the price because he cannot evaluate stocks properly. Now at the bottom he hates it because it burned him. Now you know why he doesn't manage a hedge fund, He buys high and sells low. Which is why nobody listens to him. What a joke. Reply

    Agree totally with the article. If you can't see beyond your nose, you avoid things like homebuilders and financials. If you're in it for the long haul, and have seen these things happen time and time again, you move your money into these sectors that have dropped 50-80%. Can't help but make great money in the next 5-10 years. It's the only way small-potato investors like me can beat the indices, and I do. Reply

    Either Karim does not know what he is talking about OR he is deliberately misleading readers of this blog. (He does not disclose whether he has a position in any of the companies he mentions.)

    It may be appropriate to pull this contribution from this website.     Reply

    "But could all these insiders be wrong?"

    My answer is YES!! That's why those financial companies made a huge mess!

    tracking insiders and following them is great -but: regarding the "big" macroeconomic picture most insiders have no bigger insights than any other investor. They can very well assess whether their business (stock) is cheap REALTIVE to the past. They have ZERO advantage when it comes to evaluate the overall prospects - i.e. macroeconomic catastrophies that could hit, external shocks or the like.
    The same holds true for general market downturns. If, for instance, the stock market experiences a prolonged overall P/E contraction (and this is an ongoing trend that WILL VERY LIKELY CONTINUE FOR SOME MORE YEARS!) then the insiders are getting caught buying too high as well.
    And regarding banks: with all due respect, most high-lebvel managers there have made so many millions in absolutely insane and unjustified compensations over the past years that you can count on two things: first, most of them have lost any touch to the value of money, second even if they lost out on their insider buys, it would not make a huge difference to them anyway.
    the only thing really worth watching ifs Buffet in this regard, but even he can be wrong. and, very importantly, he probably has far less ambitous expectations of returns on these investments than most other people have. I am pretty much certain that he is not targetting 15%+ annual returns with these purchases. rather, he might see an opportunity to put more of his vast cash to work at somewhat reasonable prices. but his time horizon is definetely longer than that of most retail investors
    to me, the banks are too risky here, simply for the reason that I have no way of knowing what is hidden in their balance sheets until after it implodes. Therefore, I have little chances to manage my risk. Ther are other sectors and other stocks that offer value as well. I need not to gamble in banks     Reply
