    Who Will Monetize Cloud Computing and Why? [view article]
    Who will monetize cloud computing? One could reasonably argue that Google and Amazon already have. Many others will, but one company that almost will certainly not, or at best minimally, is Sun Microsystems. Schwartz and his crew of yes men have not monetized Java, and they've had more than 15 years to do so. The people in charge of their virtualization program are pure political animals who cannot execute to save their lives. Rather than worrying about the likes of IBM and HP, their attention, what little there is of it, is consumed by internecine discord.

    Sun Micro Lowest Since Tech Crash [view article]
    At 12:19. Sun is following the trend. It is down to 11.25. It is probably good that they are trying to refine the 'Brand Identity' of their intellectual property. The 4:1 reverse-split makes it much less nerve-racking to discuss sun at 11.25 than if it were at 2.82. They just need to gain traction. That may be difficult to do in this market. It certainly hasn't happened yet. Reply

    Sun Micro Lowest Since Tech Crash [view article]
    Instead of improving products and services, Sun has been more focussed on cosmetic changes hoping to throw wool over investors eyes. Like changing its stock symbol to Java, changing its middleware products name to Java, reverse splitting its stock 4:1. Hopefully it has realized that none of this BS works and it needs to provide more value to its customers than just cheap tricks. Reply

    Eli - this statement is interesting -
    Food could cost 7-9% more next year. Economists say heavy Midwest flooding may cause U.S. food prices to climb 7-9% in 2009. "The U.S. consumer has gotten used to cheap, affordable food," food-industry analyst Fiona Boal says. "Now the goal posts are moving."

    The thought of this sicken me. I had an instructor iin college that said "The U.S. could produce enough food to feed the entire world." Although perhaps an overstatement, it was not far from being truth. And with today's technology and modern equiptment, one would think that food production in the world would be in great abundance.

    However, government policies make food less affordable. This ethanol thing is sickening. Ethanol is a government sponsored scam that is contributing to the rising cost of food worldwide and is even causing starvation around the world. Mark Perry wrote an excellent one page article about ethanol on Seeking Alpha -
    seekingalpha.com/artic....

    In the name of "environmentalism... radiacals are pushing these biofuels at the expense of rising food costs and starving peoples.
    Sadly, America has become a socialist-elitist nation which has no regard for rightousness or for the welfare of its citizens and the citizens of other nations.

    America could be energy-independent - using nuclear energy, American oil, and solar and wind energy. And yes, we and the rest of the world could have cheap, abundant food too.

    Hello Big:

    Is there a reason for the pullback in NVDA? The valuations appears quite reasonable.     Reply

    IBM Wins Supercomputing 'Bakeoff' [view article]
    Personally, I'm betting that Pony Tail Boy and his sycophantic crew will succeed in driving this stock back down to its pre-4-to-1-reverse-spl... single-digit trading range. Wouldn't it be nice to have some real courage on the Board? Rather, paralyzed by contumely, they regularly shirk their fiduciary responsibility. McNealy is the worst of them. Schwartz won the Big Prize by being the best suck up of the bunch of them. The edifice is rotten through and through.

    This chart would be even more useful if it also included trailing PEs. Reply

    Eli, I have been following what Phil Davis and Anthony Schneider on SeekingAlpha have been saying about the role of hedge funds and I-Banks in pushing up the prices of commodities.

    Two good links are:

    www.star-telegram.com/...

    and

    www.commerce.senate.go...

    Writers like Jim Kingsley and Dr. Mark Perry and others are not telling the whole story about what is actually happening.

    Please take some time to read the above data and publish your thoughts on the subject. Thanks     Reply

    Thanks Paul. Indeed, ELN/WYE didn't make it into WSB, and probably should have. We did get it up in Market Currents though:

    The problem with GRMN is that all of their functionalities can and will be imported into or imbedded into cell phones. Unless GRMN plans on getting into telecom they have a bleak future. Maybe they can develop some code or apps for the i-phone and forestall the inevitable. Reply

    Eli - how'd you miss the news on ELN? Absolutely Huge! Maybe because it was issued overnight. Reply

    Its difficult to see the shine when you are looking for dull. This is a stock with significant customer loyalty. A stock that brands everyday under Java. This stock is a takeover candidate. The takeover will be done for market share and manufacturing capacity increase. Mark this day Reply
