    what I mean is that it does not take too much effort to adapt to x86.

  • 6 Reasons Why The iPhone Will Soon Have Processors Built By Intel [View article]
    In my opinion, it is not impossible for Intel to build Apple's ARM chip. I think Intel will ask for a hefty price, but is Apple willing to pay that price?

  • Microsoft: The Destruction Of Shareholder Value -- A Failure In Corporate Development [View article]
    so by your logic, Microsoft should buy 20% in HP, Dell & Lenovo? Maybe 20% of Intel as well?

    Buying Nokia does not make any sense.

  • BP: A Long-Term Investment [View article]
    more oil? yes; cheaper oil? No. Shale oil is quite expensive to produce and requires high crude oil price to keep it flowing.

    more and cheaper natural gas? yes.

  • Did Ron Johnson Wreck J.C. Penney? [View article]
    on hindsight, Ron Johnson was a total disaster. If he was to test the market before rolling out massively, it could have been completely different for JC Penney.

  • Apache's Stock Has Strong Upside Potential And Management Is Finally Responding [View article]
    The earning was bad and missed the estimate again. Then they put out something else to please the shareholders, which is to buyback shares through divestment of certain assets.

  • Freeport-McMoRan Solves The Strike Issue Before Losing Billions [View article]
    operating in a foreign jurisdiction, I doubt that FCX has much control over labour or union issue with local people. That's the risk FCX the company and its shareholders have to take.

    EV/EBITDA using Yahoo! finance data is a little above 5, it appears very cheap.

    the loss is purely accounting loss. Arcelor Mittal still earned a few billions from its operation.

    Arcelor Mittal already raised money earlier this year to repay part of its debt.

  • J.C. Penney (JCP) reports preliminary Q1 revenue of $2.635B, a mark which sits just short of the consensus estimate of analysts. A comparable store sales decline of 16.6% during the quarter is actually an improvement, but the retailer is starting to run up against soft comps. JCP +2.3% AH to $16.77 as the quarter for the retailer has some appearances of a bottoming out of the sales plunge with more home goods on tap for Q2. [View news story]
    Result from JCP is a huge slap on those who supported Ron Johnson.

    Will the world economy collapse? Unlikely. Will the world not need steel any more in the future? Unlikely.

    So a strong case to invest in Arcelor Mittal, the largest steel producer in the world.

    The steel glut is good for the strong player. The weak ones will be out, and the strong ones will stay and reap the benefit of recovery.

  • Investing In Apache Corp - When Is A Good Time? [View article]
    sadly, what you want is unlikely to happen in the short term. They don't even have enough to pump into their "high profitable" North America onshore projects. Where will they get money for further dividends and buybacks?

    Apache should focus on production, not break-neck exploration competition in North America onshore plays.

    North America onshore shale craze reminds of the gold rush in California. The oil service companies such as Baker Hughes are the beneficiaries, rather than the E&P companies.

    Egypt can nationalize Apache's oil interests, but it is unlikely, Egypt would get the same amount of money they used to get.

    Egypt should think hard before they nationalize Apache's oil interests.

    Yes, Egypt is high risk, but the return is also very high to compensate the high risk.

    The problem I see in Apache is that they invest heavily on North America onshore, but where is the return? They keep pumping money into those onshore shale, with no return in sight. Something is wrong with shale investment. They kept talking about 30% or more rate of return of those wells, but where is the money?

    Oversea and GOM are where the money comes from, but not where the money is invested.
