    I like ABB; power infrastructure.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
    "Sources close to Microsoft (MSFT) say it has no plan to raise its offer for Yahoo (YHOO) -- for real. "

    This sounds to me like a gentle way to "walk away". I would be surprised if Yahoo should accept a deal which was shown to be unaccceptable and hasn't gotten any better. It's actually gotten worse.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
    "Microsoft (MSFT) announced broad steps to open up its source code."

    Gee,just a few months back, they were threatening LINUX vendors with infringement suits based on 260 imaginary MSFT patents that they never produced for anybody's inspection.

    This latest ploy is 1) transparent 2) pointless; there are already zillions of MSFT collaborators in the developer community 3) unlikely to work, since MSFT has nothing to match Java or AJAX.

    I just wanted to know the effect of the return rate on inventories. Just collecting data points.

    "Microsoft (MSFT) is seeing Xbox 360 shortages in the U.S., as it failed to anticipate strong post-holiday demand."

    Demand, or failure due to overheating? How are warranty returns handled, typically?

    "E*Trade shopping for cash."

    I'm sticking with Etrade as a customer, for now. I hop I don't regret that. If things do head south, maybe BAC or somebody will buy them outright--who knows?

    "Laptop makers mull margins. Sub-$500 laptops from Asus and others are dominating Amazon.com's"

    Right now: 5 Asus; 4 Apple; 1 HP. Looks like the rule is, people either want quality, or a tiny "no worries" device. This might be bullish for the iPod Touch....

    "Fisher begs to differ." Yea! One FOMC-type with sense. Let's make HIM chairman.
