Part of the letter read: “As business leaders, we believe the current political fundraising system is already broken. The Supreme Court decision further exacerbates this problem.”

People signing the letter include current and former high-ranking corporate executives of enterprises such as Hasbro, MetLife, Ben & Jerry’s, and Delta Airlines, among others.

Part 2 of 2 videos explaining how the auto industry can get beyond its overcapacity. Certainly the bigger picture is something that is missing from world and corporate leaders at the moment.

17.2 million jobs lost in America in past 21 months!

Remember the battle of the HP-Compaq merger and how HP stock prices took a tumble.  Now it seems that HP wants to use the Compaq brand again.  Wonder how much money & energy is being wasted to resurrect a brand that was viable when HP took it over?

In a move aimed at capturing Rap music fans, HP has a Dr. Dre edition notebook.  Too bad Dr. Dre didn’t do his homework on HP!

Didn’t embed the video as it is nearly 1hr long.  He made several interesting points and presented well.  Too bad that none of the would be future leaders asked any outside of the box questions of him!  He indicated that there was a growing global middle class, but didn’t mention how HP is helping to further shrink the existing middle class in U.S. and Europe.

“we remain concerned about the long-term growth prospects for the company’s printing unit, which has seen a revenue fall of more than 20% in the current year and continued pricing pressure, which may lead to further erosion of profits.

Thus, we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.”

“The challenge right now for HP is that the whole is not yet greater than the sum of its parts. For all of the operational-excellence strides Mark Hurd and his team have made, HP has yet to reveal an equally compelling externally facing strategy to the world: what is HP’s core strength? What does HP do best?”  Note that  respected stock-picking firm (Zacks) has decided to hang a “Neutral” sign on HP.
