    Time for Biotech? - Fast Money Recap (07/29/08) [view article]
    I like Apple a lot, that company continues to lead the way in their industry and set the standard in what is "Cool". Apple is a buy. Reply

    The future of Biotech rests in the hands of one company. Believe it or not. Unless you own some of this you are not in Biotech IMHO.

    Does Icahn's Involvement Affect Share Price in the Long Run? [view article]
    It was with great hope seeing the end of CEO "Zander the Commander" plus the addition of Carl Icahn to the board that the changes would add some life to the Big "M" stock price. So far it looks like the New CEO and Icahn are just a couple more gravy train passengers to be added to the cargo list.
    It would be a revelation to see some one added to the company with a bit of genius equal to what the founder of the company once had.     Reply

    Does Icahn's Involvement Affect Share Price in the Long Run? [view article]
    The key to biotechs like Biogen is to develope and have a pipeline for new blockbuster drugs. When Biogen had to take Tysabri off the market after three deaths, management sensitively steered the right course and convinced regulators to let it be reintroduced with strict warnings and monitoring. With the support of users who had been benefiting from "T" and suffered because of its withdrawal, Biogen has regained most of the drop in stock price in recent days. Icahn has been a blessing in drawing attention to the stock, and a curse by interfering with mngmt by pushing them to put the company up for sale much as he unsuccessfully did with Yahoo. Biotech companies exist and thrive because of their trade secrets, patents, and research genius ideas.

    The company obliged Icahn in inviting bids, but no pharmaceutical or biotech stepped up to pay the premium for a buyout.

    Now the higher earnings and prospects just announced are rewarded by a nice bump up.

    If Icahn's involved in BIIB had a big part in the stock move since he first announced, I'll say, "Thanks, Carl" even though I'm not on a first name basis with him.     Reply

    Motorola: Get Ready for Another Grim Quarter [view article]
    yeah, they have the original first-responder radio business & cellular infrastructure & set-top boxes / modems (GI). That's about it.

    They've been trying to unload the cell phone business for a while. No takers. Icahn forced a separation. Similar to Freescale, which appears to be dying a slow death by being sucked down with Moto.

    Yet they sue when talent leaves:

    Does MOT not have other businesses, besides the headset division? Are they not making any money either? Reply

    UPS Is Out of Control - Cramer's Lightning Round (7/10/08) [view article]
    Jim Cramer is out of control, always has been, if you take his advise you will be broke. The Disney Channel would be a better channel to watch. Reply

    Motorola, Nokia, Palm, RIM Suffering iPhone Headache [view article]
    Rimm's big growth was with their consumer phones. They pushed hard into this space as Apple entered the phone business. With the iPhone at $600 then $400 Rimm was cheaper consumer choice at $200. Now with the iPhone at $199 the consumer will move toward Apple and Rimm's growth will slow. If Rimm's growth slows the stock will tank a lot. Can't have a 40 pe with growth slowing. Reply

    I own both Apple and Nokia. I plan on moving more to Nokia because:
    1. I've waited long enough for Apple's big iPhone 2.0 rally that never happened.
    2. Nokia does not hinge on a sickly looking charismatic leader who may not be around much longer.     Reply

    I think saying the iPhone is taking business away from these other phone makers is a bit much. The iPhone is never going to unseat Blackberry as the goto business road warrior phone. The iPhone is also never going to be free and reach the kind of mass market Nokia and Motorola phones will. It's a nice toy that some people want and can afford but implying these companies are tembling because of this is absurd. Reply

    UPS is a great stock to buy and hold fro decades. Cramer is out of his mind. Packages will always have to be delivered. Reply
