so you moved the topic from console to pc to try to "own" me?

how pathetic...:lol:

I'll give tango this one.  If anyone knows about changing the criteria of a thread midway through he would.

If you don't build a portfolio of securities where do you put your savings?

So, you won't buy Sony stock?!

Would you suggest it to someone who is looking to invest in common stock? Why?

Between the 2 which would you buy right now if you had to? NTDOY (nintendo w/ over 100%growth) or SNE(about 4% growth)?

P.S. Sony would have to lose roughly 50 billion dollars to be in trouble.

I keep my savings in mix of a 100% company matched 401k, 5% interest bearing savings, land holdings in and around North Tarrant County, and for the past to years heavy investing in the Barnett Shale which has been very lucrative.

No, I would not invest in Sony or any other common stock, so I wouldn't suggest it.

If I was forced I would invest in Nintendo instead of Sony.  Why wouldn't I?   I fail to see how that choice is indicative of Sony as a corporation.  Nintendo is one of the best run companies in the world, far better than Sony in fact. 

AhA! Thank you for admitting that Sony is too much of a risk and holds too little expected return.

 

Sony FTL!!!

Actually, I admitted I wouldn't invest my money in a common stock. Be it Microsoft, Sony, Exxon-Mobil, Ford, GM, Bank Of America or anyone else.

Sony isn't known for implimenting all their technologies succesfully. Beta anybody? Memory Stick didn't exactly take off. Will Blu-Ray follow the same path?

Its irrelivant I know, but a fun factoid. Why no mention of LD?

I also find it odd he didn't mention Video8 (and subsequent Hi8 and Digital8) which Sony developed for camcorders and proved very successful.
