    3G iPhone's Effect on Texas Instruments, Broadcom and STMicroelectronics [view article]
    Apple opened up with a million iPhones sold - but doesn't Nokia sell something like a million phones every DAY? It seems like the iPhones contribution to these vendors would be nominal at best. Reply

    Soup Target; Cramer's Mad Money (7/22/08) [view article]
    I don't remember Cramer recomendeing Wamu -- US Bancorp yes, out of his four fortresses - but not WM that I remember. He said he'd keep buying CHK into pain, too, and loves the company.

    When did Cramer recommend buying WM? He's had the whole board of that bank on his Wall of Shame. Reply

    Uh, Apple most definitely did NOT disappoint with earnings. About the only other company that actually had earnings increase was AT&T. Starting to see an connection? Reply

    This Week's Key Earnings Reports [view article]
    I should have pointed out that the current PE (46) and FPE (10) are likely to decrease considerably with the earnings announcement. The PE should move to the mid 30's range. If you add in the predicted earnings for the following quarter (3 months from now), the PE would go down to the low 20's. At this point you should begin to see that the stock is not that outrageously priced currently. It has a long way it can move up. Reply

    This Week's Key Earnings Reports [view article]
    POT definitely seems like a great option play through earnings, especially since it is down drastically today. Oil and grain futures have been down so far today. Plus there is the potential strike at POT of the steelworkers. Even with all this, POT ought to beat on earnings. It seems extremely likely to guide higher with the recent price increase by Canpotex (+21% on potash prices). Even with oil and grain prices currently going down, this seems like a great play. Plus the geoploitical situation in Iran is very much in play with regard to oil after Secretary Rice's recent comments. The hoped for success in negotiations is clearly not going to occur. If anything Iran has more forcefully denied that they have any intention of changing their nuclear strategy. The market seems to be letting this news slip off the front burner for a while. But that will almost certainly be a very short while. POT should go up on earnings. Plus even though the recent bumper crop announcements are though likely to curb grain prices, it is not clear that they will have any effect on the currently planned fertilizer prices (or demand). It is also not clear that next year's crops will be as good as this year's even with lots of fertilizer. Again demand is likely to rise going into next year. Reply

    Tuesday Options Update: MRK, SNDK, TXN, TAP, GTXI, SPF, BRCD, XLF [view article]
    Texas Instruments does not have a bright future. It claims the future to be analog. Most analog chips are legacy technology. Those lower cost chips cannot be made in Texas Instruments aging U.S. fabs at a competitive price. Texas Instruments must shift to a fabless or near fab position quickly or it will continue in this downward spiral. Reply

    Cramer is a fool. Last week he said C was going to single digits. Which one is it? Before that he said stay away from banks when they reach single digits, now WM and WB are good buys?

    As for oil, its drop is a bad macro event. Oil is dropping because of a fear that global demand will drop because of a global slow down. Duh, a global slow down is not good for equities, it is bad. Global growth is all that has kept this theoretical market going at all.     Reply

    PJ568, thanks for your feedback. We largely report adjusted earnings. This is due to the fact that analyst consensus estimates, which are the gauge by which many judge whether a given company has beaten or missed expectations, are formulated based on adjusted earnings. Reply

    Many of the numbers referenced above appear to be adjusted and not actual. WB and BSX are two that jumped out as being off. One would expect adequate disclosure from the SA Editor about the numbers being referenced. Constantly reporting and discussing adjusted numbers is a sign of weakness that shouldn't be ignored. Reply

    It is amazing that so much of the financial health of the western world hinges on the performance of these public / private entities Fannie and Freddie. I was once a stockholder (liked the dividend), but sold when it became apparent to me a few years ago that I did not understand who the management worked for. If they are a cornerstone of the economy, the performance of their management needs to be judged by a standard of security, not growth of EPS, which drove them away from their government mission toward chasing the returns of sub-prime loans. Then the government wanted them to broaden the size of loans that they would handle. Despite hating a larger role for government, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that they neeed to be publicly owned and directed. Ugh. I can't believe that I said that. Reply

    If in fact Jobs is never on the conference call, then what is wrong with the media and the TV commentators? They expand and help spread a rumor that damages the stock when they simply have no facts? The quality of what we get as 'experts' merely demonstrates the folly of trying to fill up hours and hours of cable TV time. In the end we get garbage. Reply
