Open Source, Open Mind, and Open Opportunities

Looking at today's stock price for sunw, we're flat after only a mild rise in the mid of a big increase in Q4 profit. Blame the volatile session if you would or blind investors. Or maybe they just way too smart and had dug things up from those financial numbers and decided to wait-and-see.

It turns out, over the last five years, we had increased our revenue by about 4.5%. In the same period, HP and Dell had over 60%, even IBM had over 12%. But Apple made everyone wish to be an Apple with a stunning 230%. A stock price from $7 to $130, that's what makes it a shining apple.

Ok, we all know they've dropped "computer", shame they couldn't even hold the fame they earned when they invented PC, and now that's not even their major product anymore. Or is it "shame"? Depending on how one sees it, it is the bravest act to recognize the market reality and embrace new opportunities. Of course, one could argue that iPod and iPhone are still extensions to "computer" and ITunes are software services. But that's not the point here. Brilliant ideas could come to anyone, but the one who wins is the one who acts on it bravely with an open-mind.

The world already know we are one of most open-sourced companies;
The world are reading the most open-minded CEO's blog
Hope you (and we) would find it soon that this Sun has bravely opened its arms to new ideas, new opportunities, and opened a revenue stream to your liking :)

Oh, would you regret not buying Sun at such a discount? This fake financial analyst rates sunw a strong buy with a target price to your liking too :)
