I thought a good Texas breakfast was Lone Star and Bacon?

I got to get me my first official bottle of Lone Star.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

What a depressing day to own stock. :lol:

No kidding. Looks like HP and Facebook are trying to see who can go the lowest.

well with the Eurozone looking like it is going back into recession, Qantas cancelling a $8.5bn order for some dreamliners, HP with a record loss, the US needing more aide from the federal banks etc., it is indeed a bad day on the market!

Yesterday, I found the Congressional Budget Office report interesting reading. Quantas cancellation is the least of our worries.

MMMmmm bacon.. JJ loves bacon.

I know a Texas lawyer who swears BBQ goat is better.

If you have sensitive taste buds, it'll probably be your last bottle too! ;)

Maybe, but I have to at least try it. :)

The problem with HP too is it's affecting several other companies... Like I own Nvidia stock, it was not a good day for them. Intel had a rough day too.

If what I see on campus everyday is any indicator, Intel and HP are both in serious trouble. If you don't have a very strong presence in the mobile handheld device sector, you won't survive.

HP's problem are coming from a dumb acquisition they made in 2008. It is killing that stock!

HP wrote off an $8bn investment hence their huge loss.

A whole series of dumb acquisitions and product shutdowns, starting with CEO Carly Fiorina.
