Thoughts? <br /><br />Google is only down 1.05 percent. <br />Amazon is down 1.35 percent. <br />eBay is down 2.5 percent.<br />But Apple is down 5.76 percent. <br />And RIM is down 7 percent.<br /><br />My answer: yes. For all of the above (although I am concerned about RIM who has lost serious momentum and is affected by Wall Street). The others represent sustained value amid strong businesses (and all have cash).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5479320382291672507-8848692969963423949?l=techstockstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>_noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479320382291672507.post-39250939842362746402008-09-15T14:33:00.001-07:002008-09-15T15:02:11.528-07:00Microsoft : Yahoo as<br />EA : Take Two Interactive<br /><br />EA announced that they will not continue with their Take Two acquisition bid and that sent the Take Two stock in a serious nose dive:<br /><br /><img src="http://valleywag.com/assets/images/valleywag/2008/09/take_two_ttwo_after_ea_offer_rescinded.jpg" width=400><br /><br /><a href="http://valleywag.com/5050137/electronic-arts-gives-take+two-shareholders-the-yahoo-flu">More on valleywag</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5479320382291672507-3925093984236274640?l=techstockstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>_noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479320382291672507.post-43178578593471278062008-09-13T10:09:00.001-07:002008-09-13T10:15:05.772-07:00I love Chipotle. I don't own their stock, but I've allotted 1,000s of calories to those tasty bastards. And while Chipotle isn't exactly a tech stock (at all!) - they were one of the great stocks of the last couple years. <br /><br />Until yesterday. <br /><br />They dropped over 20% including after hours to <br /><br /><font size=6>57.85<br />-13.30 (-18.69%)</font><br /><br />On December 28th, they peaked at $151. Thats quite a fall.

Wall Street analysts expected earnings of 72 cents a share for the restaurant firm, according to a survey by FactSet. Chipotle said the impact of the weakened economy has been greater than expected, leading to comparable restaurant sales in the low single digits for the third quarter.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5479320382291672507-4317857859347127806?l=techstockstars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>_noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479320382291672507.post-69049678900433989472008-09-12T14:54:00.000-07:002008-09-12T14:59:58.160-07:00eBay finished up the day at $22.55 a share - down $0.48 (2.1%).
