Yahoo CEO Bartz Has a Lot of Explaining to Do

The author fails to realize what a person like Carol Bartz brings to a company. There is no mention of what here substantial achievements were at the other companies she served at. Yahoo's stock price has been declining for years under former managers and now Yahoos stock has substantially increased while managed by Carol Bartz. Bartz is a well regarded manager by people in and out of her field and deserves whatever she can get moneitarily from Yahoo. Evaluate here management worth rather then just looking at salary & other money/value incentives etc. Bartz probably could have gone to other companies and made more money, instead she took on a tough challenge and should be rewarded as such. Bartz is the type of manager that could bring a company back from the brink of bankruptcy and deserves to be rewarded handsomely for her efforts.

Microsoft vs. Apple - Which Is Worth More?

You forgot to mention the China market which in itself makes your article worthless. Msft is in China and Apple is just getting into it. Why are people willing to pay a premium for Apple products? Because people love Apple products over Msft products (example the Zune) & at last check people do not like Msft products. You should not write articles anymore. How can you leave out China? PE's say a lot about products but you also failed to mention cash flow, one of the current metrics of valuing a stock, however if I was to buy I would buy Apple.

I do not own either stock nor do I own any Apple products.

Under The Radar News - Tuesday

APPLE: MacDailyNews Response to the downgrade
MacDailyNews Take: April 8, 2008: Poor Tavis of Morgan Keegan obviously couldn't analyze his way out of a wet paper bag. The real risk here is in listening to analysts employed by second-tier regional firms who fall hook, line, and sinker for ginned up election year efforts to talk down the economy* while ignoring and/or not comprehending what's really happening at Apple Inc.

*Which, of course, can become self-fulfilling prophesies. Still, we require proof that any weakness in consumer technology spending is actually impacting Apple negatively rather than positively. For example, perhaps any threat of "recession" will cause people to spend their technology dollars much more wisely, thereby getting themselves Macs which run all of the world's software and also retain their value far better than run-of-the-mill PCs? There are a lot of variables in play here and McCourt is out of touch with, frankly, better analysts who cover Apple.

Of the 28 analyst firms making recommendations on Apple Inc (AAPL) stock today, as covered by NASDAQ:
• 8 - Strong Buy
• 16 - Buy
• 3 - Hold

And only one, little ol' Morgan Keegan, says "Underperform."
