Luckily i havenīt bought any yet, i was watching NOVL and JAVA, NOVL
has already soared up due to their Q2 profit, but JAVA will need some
positive news to change the depressed situation, any boy is certain
about their next quarter result will be good?

There was a great arguement as to why this stock will not see $15.

I just dont want to write it again. Here you will see fundamentalist
computer geeks always pointing to Sun's good things. But this is a
good look at what is wrong at sun

This stock does suck. I've owned it for so many years and it has done
nothing but disapoint me. Jonathan promised a good year...now we are
at new lows. Stock split was supposed to intice bigger buyers but all
it really has done is provide cushion from delisting.

On the other hand...I've held it for this long whats another few
years...

So did Ford, what's your point? Weren't 5 of the last 6 quarters good?

I'm a computer guy not a wall-street guy. I've been watching Sun on
and off for a decade, but now I think it's really going to come
together for them in the next few years. Good things are on the
horizon.

No the the 5 of 6 quarters were not good. If you invested in IBM or
Apple, you be up. Sun is down ~40% over a one year time frame. I think
it is going to get much worse. I do not see good things on the
horizion here.

Which good things on the horizon are you referring to?

i guess he is referring to things that we will see 2-4 years down the
road but not very soon. I guess this stock really sucks if you are
short term buyer. Its only worth having if you can hold on with it at
least for 1 year... i am just waiting to get at least above 14 so i
can make some profit...

Since year 2000, Sun has invested heavily in R&D (relative to
revenue).      The purpose of R&D is to bear fruit "tomorrow".    But
it's been a VERY long horizon.     We all know that when R&D is taking
so long to bear fruit, that means either it is a utter disaster (the
product is not even seeing daylight) OR when it comes out, it will be
way off-base!

Everyday, there's a tomorrow.    (unless the universe comes to a
crash).       The longer the horizon, the higher ROI it has to
be.         And with all those EVP bailing.     I guess even the
insiders are losing faith or patience.

While the shareholders are suffering and waiting for tomorrow, I see
Jonathan Schwartz reaping BIG pay.     What's wrong with the
picture?!?      Seems like Jonathan prefers a real check than a post-
dated check.

The stock is at new lows. The street says the last 5 of 6 good
quarters due to cost cuts, if they were wrong the stock would not be
in the toilet.

I am a computer guy too. Thats why I own the stock. I bought it years
ago when I thought the company's stock was undervalued. Now I
understand the problem. They have a great product just poor
manangement. The stock has done nothing over the years I have owned
it.

I hope good things are on the horizon. It is about time...

Sun is tanked because they refuse to follow the market. Sparc may be
ahead of the competition but is a dying architecture because nobody
now wants to be locked into a niche architecture from a single
vendor.

Likewise, Solaris is a dying technology it may be superior than Linux
at the moment but the market is replacing Solaris with Linux servers.
Rather than continue to fight Linux they should've merged with Redhat
or Novell years ago and focused their engineering talent on improving
their supported version of linux.

So instead of investing in the future (linux/x86) they are spending >
1 billion dollars on trying to monetize an opensource db that everyone
uses for free? That money wouldve been better invested in purchasing a
linux distro or even JBoss. Now even Redhat has more to gain from open
sourcing Java than sun. Only service companies make money from open
source software - not software development houses.

They shouldve scrapped development on Sparc, Solaris, Net Beans, etc.
a long time ago and have focused on creating value added support and
services ontop of linux/x86.

Another Sun executive bailed :

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/john-gage-leaving-sun-microsyst...{B71A9925-2A84-4905-818A-18C922F37613}&dist=morenews

That's after 3 EVPs :

* Don Grantham
* Eugene McCabe
* David Yen

I guess Sun is "open-sourcing" their executives as well.

Let's guess who will be next.

Jams Gosling -> Google or IBM

Jonathan -> Mozilla Foundation.
