<<40% growth in a 14% market growth >>

Am curious why a lot of HP PCs (new) are being sold through Onsale, the internet auction site. Is this primarily obsolete inventory being moved at whatever price is possible. How much loss will HP sustain from this inventory correction.

From which companies? Dell and Compaq? The rest have already given up massive amount of market share, i.e., Micron, Acer. This analyst is in la la land. HP is known to miss numbers, and their market share in printers is coming under heavy competition and pricing pressure, buying HP at these levels is a loser in the long run.
