Tuesday, October 21. 2008

The good thing ... we´ve still more than enough money to get through the financial crisis and i wouldn´t wonder, if we still have positive cash flow .... (besides of effects like stock buy backs)

To make the stock price increase, Jon and his team simply need to:
1) Increase revenues each quarter
2) Spend less than they receive

That's it. Not that hard is it? Number 1 is called Growth. Number 2 is called Profit. If Sun really wanted 1 and 2 it could cut the parts of the company that are failing. But instead it "flogs dead horses". I'm beginning to with a businessman would replace Jon at the top.

Hoffen wir mal das die "Restrukturierung" hier wegen der Zahlen nicht schon wieder greift und man die Jungs endlich mal arbeiten und Geld verdienen läßt. Die offiziellen Warnung lassen tatsächlich "schreckliches" vermuten. 20Cent pro Aktie? Wieviele Aktien hat SUN ?

Simple math, right. 34000 employees - XXXX are also simple maths. Should it be so easy? I guess not because its the wrong way with simple maths.

Almost as bad as AMD

Just another reason for Sun to go private.
