Upcoming items !!!
One of the intentions of this blog was to write about new concepts that I learn while pursuing my MBA. Now, understand that even though I may be writing about specific subjects/topics, I am not a master in them. I am a learner who hopes to build an applicable skill. The articles will be very basic but it will definitely help lay foundations for exploration. I will try to get my articles vetted by my professors and business contacts, as and where needed and possible.
So here is a list of items that I wish to learn and write about in the forthcoming few weeks:
- Conjoint Analysis
- Options Primer (repeat .. Primer)
- How to read a 10K document
- Strategic M&A behavior
- Experience Curve
- Interest Rate and its implications
I may continue to add and cross items from this list as the posts are made. Also note that there may be other random posts other than the ones listed above. If there is any item you wish to see here, please leave a comment.
Apple Releases new IPhone – 3GS
Apple unveiled its newest and fastest iPhone yet, the 3GS. I am quite excited about the product as it a much superior product, by leaps and bounds, to other similar products in the market. The app store, iPhone’s greatest strength keeps is ahead of its rivals.
The pricing for the new iPhones are going to be:
- iPhone 3G S will cost $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB) for new and qualifying customers.
- iPhone 3G will cost $99 (8GB) for new and qualifying customers.
- The 16GB iPhone 3G will be available for $149 while supplies last.
While new customers will definitely be happy with the offering, the old customers will have a tough decision when its comes to their upgrading. AT&T, the quintessential monopolistic provider, has decided to squeeze the previous owners of their money.
Investors are expecting that the reduction in the price of the iphone (by $100) will result in a 100% increase in sales, as it did the last time around. How the stock market (stock ticker: AAPL) responded to the news is shown below:
The market did respond favorably taking the stock to a respectable USD143.8. Volume traded shot up during the last hours of trading. But today the market did not respond well initially bringing the stock down to less than $141 but picked up back again. Let us see what effect the news from AT&T have on the stock in the days to come.
