Jim Cramer thinks HP might be the next Kokak. I don't know whether to agree or to buy HP because Cramer's an idiot.

I tend to think he's on the right track here.

Heh. My wife just told me today that her company is switching the nurses from Dell to HPs. That's like trading a giant turd for a pile of poo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 12:00
they are still i think the overwhelming market leader in ink jet's (atleast here) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 4, 11:42
I think he's wrong. HP's got a huge slate valuable of B2B services and products, likely more than enough to sustain them if their consumer stuff flops -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:31 4
- see: IBM -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:31 3
  - IBM is one of the best run companies anywhere... HP is a poorly run company that sells things that increasingly people don't want - SG3 Oct 4, 11:43 1
    - well after the transition to digi photo their sales were bound to decline - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 4, 11:44
  - Exactly. They sold their entire consumer laptop division to Lenovo, but they are so entrenched in other areas that they barely noticed. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:33
Kramer is an idiot, and he's right. I posted a Mercury News editorial that said as much. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 11:29 2

  - Some good points, for sure. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:40
not sure I agree with that (as usual when it comes to Cramer). Their core businesses are still fairly sound -- nm - decline Oct 4, 11:28
In what way? I don't really see them as wrapped up in potentially obsolete technology -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:27
