I'd hate to be in that profession! In one sentence he says macromedia experienced a 5 % revenue decline. Then "adobe announced that demand had been much weaker than expected across all products and geographic areas". This sounds like more than a 5% revenue decline. But then he makes adobe look like the hands down winner. Nice spin! Also note the investor panic keywords in bold.
<imho> Also I've never gotten the p/e ratio. Whats the price of a single share got anything to do with anything in a ratio? If it costs 10 and you want to invest 100$, you get 10, if it costs 50$, then you buy two. I guess it stems from investors wanting a nice number between 20 and 100 or something. Kinda like me liking the plants on my desk between 5 and 15 inches high. Now earnings per employee is a good meaningful one. </imho> Ha Nice Rant Dre. Please forgive my rant and don't flame my stock market ignorance. -----Original Message----- From: BEN MORRIS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 7:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Article: A Wealth of Woe at Macromedia Article from Business Week: A Wealth of Woe at Macromedia August 9, 2002 This is article focuses on stock prices, but still pretty interesting. http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/aug2002/pi2002089_8261.htm?c=bw techaug13&n=link5&t=email ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
