HPQ - HewlettPackard Company - Page 9

Thanks. I'm not worried at all about my holdings, and usually I begin to sweat when the reversal never comes. It can't go forever and I'm sitting at breakeven so I'm not too overly concerned. The odds are in my favor after weeks of going straight up.

Big pay cuts hitting at US EDS employees. It seems they are trying to run off more employees that they dont need with 10-40% pay cuts again. If you read some news in dallas, all those employees are riled up. So this will either save them a lot of money or hurt service contracts if service suffers.

Any predictions on HPQ results? nearing the 52-week highs today, and looks to be due for a pullback unless results are impressive. Thoughts?

well HP tanked AF on the news that they bought PALM

Heads up on some cool tech:
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/03/s...ex.html?hpt=C2

Bought 50 contracts at .72 ask July strike 50 on HPQ

Started a position in hpq today@45.80.

Anyone know when the buyout of palm will be complete?

second quality tech name I like after INTC, looking to enter a position right after July's job report. cant remember when or if the PALM acquisition deal is finalized yet, but I'd like to hear plans on how it would formalize new selling strategies and expand market shares in mobile phone market

Wow, HPQ down ~10% on the CEO leaving/harassment scandal.

Yup, loaded up. It'll bounce. Hurd was a turd. Hell, he's doing the company a favor by leaving.

I think you are right, it's a turnaround point for this company.

meh, its only a minor setback for the company, the fundamentals are still strong at HP, and what im looking forward to hear on earnings report is concerned with personal and business spending on pc, namely in private corporate sector. AND palm will be icing on cake which i wouldnt wanna miss

If I wanted to get into this stock on Monday, how should I play it to get the best price? (Note, I won't be waking up until noon ET).

Should I place an order for a set price and risk missing out (if so, what price)? Or should I just place an order to buy when the market opens?

Best choice would be to get your lazy ass outa bed sooner. Make a decision to buy or not. Then go back to bed if you really need to sleep some more.

Man I wish I could bang a marketing chick, resign when caught and still walk away with a $12 million severance check. WTF??? Why is it in America you are rewarded when you fcuk up or commit acts of questionable morals?

^^ blame the liberals...

But I'm on the west coast and it's summer vacation

I don't agree, I blame Americanization. It's not about right wing or left wing etc... it's about accountability or lack thereof. The same lack of accountability spans all political sects and is not isolated to liberals. The main contributing factor is that over time things have gone WAY overboard and people have gained far too much freedom and entitlement. You can be liberal and not go ape$hit with your expectation of "rights".

Amen. Everyone tries to simplify everything wrong in America with political fingerpointing

GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED AND MAKE A DECISION TO BUY or NOT. Typical West Coast Attitude.
