Intel will be another Nokia in making. Intel made a huge mistake 10 years ago. Now 12,000 workers are paying the price.

On Tuesday, Intel announced that it was laying off 12,000 employees, 11 percent of its workforce, the latest sign of the company's struggle to adapt to the post-PC world. Intel still isn't a significant player in the mobile market — iPhones, iPads, and Android-based phones and tablets mostly use chips based on a competing standard called ARM.


The mobile revolution is leaving Intel behind

Intel had not just one but two opportunities to become a major player in the mobile chip market. One was the opportunity to bid on Apple's iPhone business. The other was its ownership of XScale, an ARM-based chipmaker Intel owned until it sold it for $600 million in 2006.

Intel sold XScale because it wanted to double down on the x86 architecture that had made it so successful. Intel was working on a low-power version of x86 chips called Atom, and it believed that selling ARM chips would signal a lack of commitment to the Atom platform.

But Atom chips didn't gain much traction. Intel has made a lot of progress improving the power efficiency of its Atom chips. But ARM-based chipmakers are experts at building low-power chips, having focused on that task for more than a decade. So they had the early advantage. And at this point, ARM has a huge share of the market. That gives them all of the advantages — more engineers, better software — that come with being a dominant platform.

A ship sinking .......Even Big Blue also cannot survive if it does not change.

IBM Shares Tumble After Earnings Forecast Misses Estimates

New Products
Revenue in cognitive solutions, which comprises older and newer software and includes the Watson data analytics units, declined 1.7 percent to $3.98 billion in the period. About 63 percent of the revenue came from IBM’s strategic imperatives. Most of the company’s software sales also come from this division. Total software revenue declined, IBM said.
In particular, growth of the newer offerings in cognitive solutions, which houses much of what IBM is counting on as a major part of its future, was slower than growth in some other segments. The new software is sold on an as-a-service basis, and it takes time to build up this type of product, Schroeter said in an interview.
“These are businesses that probably have a fair bit of ramp in order to make them sizable and start to punch above their weight in terms of overall growth rate,” he said. “We saw pretty good acceleration from the fourth quarter to the first quarter.”

Software Sales
That software as a whole doesn’t seem to be improving is disappointing, said Dan Morgan, senior portfolio manager at Synovus Securities Inc., which holds IBM stock. “This is a bucket where we would have liked to see some sort of improvement. The jury is still out on whether Rometty is going to pull this thing out.”

Parkson didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, it lost.

Sales on Singles day (11.11) by Alibaba (USD 14.3 billion or RM 60 billion) is equivalent to 5.04 times PHB Gross Sales Proceeds (RM 11.9 billion) for the whole financial year of 2015.

WC need not do anything wrong, by not doing anything right, he is bringing Parkson to holland just like Nokia.

PRA is now at S$0.156. It simply reflects how Singaporean think of the future for traditional departmental stores like Parkson.

I wish to reiterate, Parkson share valuation is only worth 75 sen, taking into consideration of PRA and PRGL current share price.
With 30% discount for holding company, plus yesteryear business model, plus risk of forced selling by Affin Hwang (Penang) on WC pledged securities, safe bet on Parkson is 50 sen.

It is now up to you to rebut my opinion as stated above. I am more willing to accept reasonable argument rather than statement like WC can buy back more share cheap-cheap at 50 sen. I am still skeptical about the wisdom of share buy back at 4.50pm each day. To me, it amounts to manipulation of closing price to avoid further margin calls. Any form of manipulation of share price is a criminal offence regardless its motive. Repco Lau went to jail for 5 years on similar offence............

当五块半钱的时候，有人笑那些在等四块的人傻B。当价钱走到三块的时候，有人叫那些要在两块价位买的人慢慢等。

现在价钱不到一块了，还有人说75仙不可能？

张大你们的眼睛看清楚，Parkson的辉煌是建立在香港PARKSON,香港PARKSON的辉煌是建立在中国的零售市场的雄霸时期。

还看不懂? 再给一个例子。

为什么我知道？因为我连续在年三十晚的前两个晚上都在Parkson买年货。

Since you compare Parkson with Aeon then you should compare Parkson and Aeon share price like what people compare Panasonic and Pensonic share price.

You must a newbie to not know share price can fluctuate wildly. Do you exist when Repco jump to RM 200 in 1998 and subsequently delisted. Don't think what share jump high must be good. Similarly what share drop a lot can still rebound later on.

Hi Parkson, I am not comparing the share prices of Parkson & Aeon, I am comparing my shopping experience with both shops.

I won't compare both because Parkson has been venturing into oversea markets such as Vietnam & other Asean countries while AEON has been focusing in Malaysia market only. So, they are 2 different ball games here.

One has to look into why prices of Hong Kong & Malaysia Parkson has been falling all these while.

Posted by moneySIFU > 2016-04-24 17:26 | Report Abuse

For record, I sold my parkson & start buying all into Airasia when AA reach RM0.90, before it touched down to RM0.78.

My platform show RM0.78 was lowest but some show RM0.765, I confused on that front.

You have to know the reason of price drop, AA was panic sales by foreign funds due to depreciation of RM. While Parkson is the structural issue.
