LoL.... Boxer is going to get rolled.

Did they really pay for a 7:44 minute spot?
Wow...
Good to see women earn that glass ceiling. isn't it.
Is that dumb really running on her fail at HP?
Sounds more like that smart woman is running on some of her success she had at HP and she will beat that career politician that passed 3 bills in 18 years.
They included this in the 8 minute ad, but just put this on loop and call it a day.
She didn't fail. Tech stocks took a beating after 2000, and again during this repression like everyone else. Afterwords, HPQ lead the way. The 5 year trend had HPQ up 50% over the S&P 500. If you look from the bottom of the tech bubble:
She failed.
HPQ lead the way? You mean after she was fired at the start of 2005?She didn't fail. Tech stocks took a beating after 2000, and again during this repression like everyone else. Afterwords, HPQ lead the way.
During her tenure at HP, the company's stock price fell from $52 per share to $21 per share.
The Compaq merger was a complete bust too. And she was warned not to do it.
Fail with a capital "F".
Thank you WC. You really showed how HP led the way right after they canned Fiorina in February 2005.
I know what you mean. 3 bills in 18 years??
Policies continue for some time after a person goes away. She had to implement the spin-off of the company's technical equipment division, creating Agilent Technologies.
So? All tech stocks fell like that during the tech bubble burst. The company I worked for went from >$80 a share to <$5 a share. HP did rather well compared to many tech stocks. I would suggest that people who didn't like her blamed her for actions she had no control over. How could she have stopped the tech bubble from bursting, lead by Y2K fears?
Remember, I know a thing or two about tech stocks.
No it wasn't. How do you figure, considering the other facts? Please explain.
There was a company the Fiorina wanted to buy in 2000 called EDS... You know, Ross Perot's company, but had resistance also. Funny how HP bought it after she resigned. They decided it was a good thing afterall. She must have the foresight that others lack.
Very well after canning Fiorina.
Doesn't look like it.Remember, I know a thing or two about tech stocks.
The stock price jumped 7% the day the B.O.D. gave her the boot.
It's because they were implementing her ideas! By firing her.
So?
Some investors didn't understand the tech market, like you obviously don't.
Yeah, those investors and I were really proven wrong.
The investors that made 7% in one day obviously didn't understand the stock market.
Huge losses are where it's at!
so since you knew the stock market so well and thought that taking on Compac was a good idea, you bought shares of HP?
Correct?
I had no opinion then. I wasn't following it specifically. I was directly involved in that sector from 1994 to 2002 though. I understand that sector better than most people. I suggest you look at the industry as a whole instead of thinking HP is unique.
I sold my LSI stocks though. Missed the peak, but sold... Hmmm... I forget. I think it was at about $72/share.
Besides, the 6.7% increase from 2/8/04 to 2/9/04 isn't unique either. It didn't continue to increase, but maintained about a +/- 5% area, before and after her resignation. Different types of news prompts different responses from different people.
Do you ever research, or just make up excuses?
I researched the graph you posted, which showed HP outperforming its compe ion and growing strongly for almost three straight years after Fiorina got canned.
Am I able to research Wild Cobra's stock portfolio on the internets?
I wasn't aware I could......that's why I asked you about it.
Please link your portfolio so we can all see how good you are.
I don't dabble with stocks. I now only have mutual funds in my retirement savings, which i change from time to tame. I only had LSI stock when I invested through the stock purchase program. If I were better at it, I would make money that way. Seeing the causes and effects in 20/20 hindsight in an actual workplace gives understanding, but not all seeing foresight.
Do you always ask someone to prove a radical perspective from their point that doesn't exist?
No, but I recall that you claim to know a thing or two about tech stocks.
