[quote=moneymaker]Seeing as Rich hasn’t posted in over a month why don’t we turn this into a stock forum? I just bought HP, who thinks I’m crazy? After buying them I learned that when a stock has a Q after it, that means they are in bankruptcy, please someone tell me it doesn’t apply to HP.[/quote]
HPQ the Q came from old compaq days… HP use to be HP. And Compaq use to be CPQ.
HPQ came as part of the Fiorina compacting..I have very strong opinions about HP…. Imho HP lost it’s only chance to survive when it dumped Hurd and he subsequently went to Oracle..
Meg is not going to be able to turn this anchor around… Just look at the numbers. Oracle posted theirs today… Looked great. HP…meh!…
In a few years, Oracle is going to look cheap… They own so much of the backend now, it’s not even funny. Part of the reason why I got out of backend enterprise systems development.. I would buy in, if it wasn’t for the fact that they kinda torpedoed so many of my colleague’s companies.
BTW: if I had to pick between HP of today or Agilent (what was part of HP before), definitely Agilent is the way to go….
