I attached a screen grab of SUN vs NASDAQ and Microsoft / Google / IBM / Oracle / Yahoo
Everybody has gone done, but Sun's decrease is much more profound and is well below the market. http://javaposse.googlegroups.com/web/suncap.JPG?gsc=aToTdBYAAACmKAbXu_rFUyV3j_5vCDIO2eLEDst71Ngwix2Erb-dvw It should be noted that their last quarter loss was due to accounting write downs, not losses on sales. Once the accounting write down is removed I believe it was only a $65 million loss. At that rate, $3 billion in cash will last some considerable time. But who knows where it will end. Java would find a home regardless, a greater concern would be the higher level projects such as Glassfish, Netbeans, etc etc. Worst comes to worst, Java can stay at my house, I have a spare sofa. :) On Nov 13, 9:28 am, Joe Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > The Sun market cap just hit $3bln (in July it was still $8bln and > people thought that was low), and Forbes reports that Sun is under > pressure to sell itself or some of its assets to get out of this > hole. :-( > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/12/suns_market_cap_below_3bn_dol... > > I hope that whatever happens, Java will be safe! > > Karsten --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
