      This Isn't a Bottom, It's a Disturbance in The Force
      "Do you expect him to tell the truth when our economic system is based on FALSE confidence?"

      No, but there's no need to lie in such a convincing way, fooled the same people that he was trying to help.

      I got a feeling the G7 will conspire to let the market bottom out a little more before releasing their super plan, so it has the intended impact. Bet you my $5 nothing is actually done on Monday, probably not till the following Monday. I would bet more, but that's all I have left after trusting the president, "we are not going into recession" were his confident and precise words, what a monkey.

      Looks like America was playing daft all along, suckering more countries into their black hole so they could then, you guessed it, lend even more, about 10 trillion dollars I bet. America needs to give into the natural trend, have the dollar crash, hand the baton to Asia and be done with it. Not let all the world suffer for possibly years till a radical unforseen set of solutions is found to keep them in power, this isn't a war but I feel its seen this way.

      Apple's MobileMe Mess
      Its funny, just as Apple get close enough to be compared with Microsoft, we realize Microsoft are actually not that evil anymore and Apple are terrible once again. High prices, every product with major flaws, incompatibility, lust for monopoly. OK, Apple own the place with simplicity and sleek design, but its got way too many flaws, I got the feeling its past its peak and won't be back for awhile.

      Is There Still Hope for Sony?
      O yes, this is early days, Playstation 3 is a baby, developing fast, its part of a 10 year plan. PS2 has huge user base, many of which will migrate to PS3 in future, the PS2 is still selling well considering its age. 360 and Wii are really being pushed by the more natural progression of the PS3, every six months they are forced to innovate heavily, but credit where due, they are and look competitive for the next six months. Fact is, all three consoles are sitting pretty at the moment, its all good. 08/02/08

      Is There Still Hope for Sony?
      This article belongs on gaming news or blog, not financial boards.

      OK, first of all, your title "Is There Still Hope for Sony?", then you go on to talk only about the Playstation 3, which is a small part of Sony's business, less than 15% of it in fact.

      Second, your title is misleading, you point out Sony are failing to reach their potential, this doesn't translate into a company failing. Having great potential is a plus in my books. Their balance sheet shows Sony has had a turnaround, back on track and looking better than it has done in years.

      You take Sony's strength's and potential strength's and turn them into negative's. Some how you make out that its a bad thing for a company to have the ability to leverage media to boost sales, have a monopoly over the increasing popular high definition disk, etc.

      BTW, if you want to talk about the PS3.. Its looking better than ever, so why the negativeness? Production costs have come right down, slim version already in works, 'Home' on its way, Movies on demand just arrived, monthly sales overtaken Xbox and quality of games ever increasing.

      PS3 should be dominating by now, but its not due to the mistakes you point out. I think everyone knows this by now, most of the weakness you point out are either solved or Sony have stumbled through and survived. Yes, they need to keep the ball rolling in this game of catchup and E3 was a worrying sign they are underestimating the continuous effort needed. That's what this article is mainly about, a little worry and living in the past. But don't worry, tense competition makes everyone, even the winners worry and feel a little nervous for the future. Its all good, PS3 is playing catchup and doing excellent, sales improving, everything improving, its turned into a wonder box, something we always doubted it could be. Its fantastic, but try not to get too emotionally involved, this will only lead you to sell at the slightest dip in the progression chart on its pathway to glory.

      Countering the AP's 'E*Trade Financial Earnings Preview'
      E*Trade made a bo bo, selling Mae/Mac shortly before they recovered heavily from a devastating loss, must be sickening for Layton. But hey, that's stocks, he done what was correct at the time and got punished for it, I applaud him for being brave and not gambling the companies future. $2 here we come.

      Still, I'm long ETFC, great company if they survive, ETFC take up 9% of my portfolio, I'm up around 5% this year, so worth a 4% gamble imo.

      ETFC below $3.50 is bankruptcy level.

      I'm surprised it has been losing so little the past few days when compared to the market. The news coming out is the worst E*Trade could have hoped for. Could hit below $1 before ETFC even get to its results day.

      A Stockholder, and Merchant, Loses Confidence in eBay
      This article is way too personal, fact is, ebay is making more money, they can afford to do this due to their monopoly. Commonsense says BUY.
