    • Short Thesis on Starbucks Playing Out [view article]
      Wouldn't it have been better to short SBUX in late 2006 than now? I mean, a $27.69 to $23.00 drop isn't exactly something to write about. But it's not very insightful to suggest shorting a stock that has already dropped over 50% in the last year in the hopes that it may drop another 20%.

      To impress us, this article should have been posted on September 27 of 2006, not 2007.       Oct 26 06:18 PM

      What's next, movie and music reviews? What does it matter what Scott Rothbort's wife likes to watch? And how does one person's review of a TV show relate to it's stock?

      There is one truth here, Scott Rothbort really enjoys <b>Dirty Sexy Money Shots</b>, by his own words. I think his metro side is trying to break out.       Oct 26 04:52 PM

      There was no abusive language here! This is censorship simply because someone doesn't like getting his face rubbed in the 10%+ gain in MSFT's stock price in only a day and a half since this uninsightful "The Decline of Microsoft" article was posted. Seeking Alpha should be ashamed that they would censor a simple challenge to an article that obviously has gross inaccuracies and is nothing more than a fanboy trying to pump up stocks that he and his "high net worth individuals" own.

      Scott Rothbort is a stock guru. Remember, he used to work for Merrill Lynch, and we all know how good they are at valuation! I'm sure "high net worth individuals" are lined up outside LakeView Asset Management's doors right now demanding he use his God-like valuation stills he learned while at Merrill Lynch and his insightful business and stock market skills to invest their money. Scott Rothbort's ignorance of MSFT, the stock market, and business in general is only out shadowed by his fanboyism of GOOG and AAPL. And, "ignorance" is not abusive. It simply means that Scott Rothbort lacks knowledge of MSFT (which is obvious). Scott Rothbort should remember that ignorance can be resolved, stupid is forever. It's up to him to choose which path he wants to take.

      Go ahead, delete this as well for "abusive language", as we both know there isn't abusive language here. Maybe abrasive, but not abusive. I have my own web servers, domains, can create an unlimited number of email addresses, and have a proxy server list a mile long so I can post here forever if I choose to. Seeking Alpha needs to consider if they want to tolerate a calm debate on an inaccurate article like this or they want to start an all-out posting and censorship war which will consume an immeasurable amount of time to manage. I'm retired, have unlimited time, and always looking for a cause, your choice!       Oct 26 04:44 PM

      Hahaha! He's taken notice of our replies as a crop of "[Comment edited for abusive language. Commenter put on watch.]" have come up! There was no abusive language, unless you call being honest about Scott Rothbort's armature-style stock bashing as abusive.

      Actually, considering MSFT is up over 10% since the stock guru Scott Rothbort posted on "The Decline of Microsoft", I would hope he would spew more of this uninsightful MSFT hate rants.       Oct 26 04:10 PM

      And he writes this the same day that MSFT reports earnings where revenue rose 27%, net earnings per share increased 29%, they beat earning estimates by 15%, and they raised their revenue outlook for all five business segments by 12 to 13 percent.

      I want this guy managing my money! Is it just me or can everyone hear that sucking sound?       Oct 25 09:48 PM

      1) MSFT already beat the iPhone, years ago. Maybe you don't know about all the phones with the mobile version of Windows? It's a more mature OS, not locked like the iPhone, tons of 3rd party programs, loads of options on phones and cellular companies, sold around the world, and sold a LOT more than the iPhone. Over 11 million Windows smart phones were sold in the previous 12 months when MSFT announced numbers in July of 2007. Less than 2 million iPhones have been sold. Further, Windows Mobile has a larger market share than both RIM Blackberry and Palm.

      2) The Xbox 360 has all but won against Sony in only their second attempt. The Wii was a bit of a surprise, but Nintendo has long held the kiddie market (tweens) while the Xbox is for the 16+ age group. Actually, the Wii and the Xbox 360 are not really direct competitors for this reason. To call the Xbox 360 laggard is to call yourself ignorant of the facts. We're even seeing 360 sales topping the Wii now with Halo 3 out, new console options for the 360, and the holiday season approaching.

      3) Bill Gates doesn't run MSFT anymore, so he can play cards with Warren Buffet all he wants for all I care.

      4) Your thoughts on MSFT not not thoughts at all as there was no thought in them. They're emotionally based on your disclosure, that you're long on AAPL and GOOG. I'm long on AAPL, GOOG, and MSFT as I don't see them as direct competition as you do. For the most part, they generate profit from totally different things. While they step on each other's toes and get into each other's business, it doesn't hurt the bottom line. Zune sales don't hurt AAPL, OS X sales don't hurt MSFT, Google search doesn't hurt MSFT. The competition yields a better product for the consumer, which results in more sales, and more profit for all. All three can make money hand over fist, there's no reason to choose a side, go long on all 3.

      5) MSFT hating is *so* old and *so* easy.       Oct 25 02:41 PM
