Classically bad move that.<br /><br />I'm going to predict a rebound on their price if they can avoid any additional negative press over the next few weeks. Given their recent track record that will be tricky though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507325257507187171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098282854073744424.post-37423737298394616712011-09-24T08:21:43.370-07:002011-09-24T08:21:43.370-07:00Heard on the radio that Apotheker could not visit ...Heard on the radio that Apotheker could not visit HP HQ in Silicon Valley because Larry Ellison of Oracle has court action against Apotheker. Ellison charges that Apotheker stole IP from Oracle while Apotheker was at SAS. The way I understood the story, HP & Oracle HQs are located in the same proximity and if Apotheker came within some number of miles of Ellison, Apotheker could/would be served with papers to bring him to court.<br />Assuming this is true, what a classic screw up by HP's board. They hire a leader that can not visit the corporate HQ. Hilarious! Now Whitman, who was on the board for Apotheker's hire, is taking the helm? No wonder investors are punishing HPs stock.John (@iamreff)http://refford.comnoreply@blogger.com
