tekgk: That's mostly impressive sounding stuff, most of which I don't understand. But I thought a weaker dollar will bring higher profits to the big US multi-national companies (for products manufactured in the US and sold in foreign countries). Haven't we been hearing all Summer about the strong dollar overseas hurting US multi-national corp. profits? So the reverse should also be true. And higher profits generally mean revised earnings (upward) and higher stock prices.
Just for the fun of it: a couple of areas that I disagree with you on:
>(check out the new electric/gas Toyota combo<
Now really, how many people are interested in that sort of thing? Electric means batteries, which means recharging. It's bad enough people have to recharge cell phones, never mind the thought of recharging your car. Americans place a high priority on convenience, and recharging your car battery every night isn't real convenient! Particularly when the benefit of electric cars is ? to automobile owners.
The incredible Sony entry into Mobil communications market spells fear, panic and doom for Motorola investors.
Ever hear of Ericsson or Nokia (Sweden and Finland, respectively)? Ericsson has had 100% year-over-year growth in mobile handset sales for two quarters in a row, while Nokia has the world market share leadership for digital cellular handsets - over 50% of the world market share, to be exact. NEC has a nice phone also. To be honest, I've never heard of Sony's new phone. But in any case, Sony has a loooonnggggg way to go to overtake the cell phone leaders, which certainly do include Motorola. |
