I don't think the Palm Pre cracked the iPhone ice. It has about as much earning potential as Twitter compared with Google. The share prices recently have emasculated traders. Well I think they can rest easy now, a stock that hasn't seen a lot of short activity is seeing a LOT of put activity, indicating that people have lost their zest for this flavor-of-the-month.

New Palm phone won't be enough to save the company

-157.84%

While the new Palm phone looks impressive initially, it still can't save Palm from the fate of being crushed in a competitive market of much bigger players.
1st issue: an exclusive agreement with Sprint, a carrier in trouble with dropping market share and quality issues (a recent Consumer Reports article reported them consistently below other carriers in call quality).
2nd issue: Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc, all desperately wanting to be in the sector and with loads of cash.
3rd issue: Palm could be bought out, but any buyer will wait for a pullback or bankruptcy.

Remaining Neutral on Palm as Company Faces Strong Competition
PALM
+121.52%
in
392 days
6/6 - "We are maintaining our Neutral rating...Our estimate of $(0.26) for FY09 (May) compares with the analyst consensus of $(0.21). The highest analyst estimate for FY09 is $0.15, which translates into a P/E multiple of 48x, a fairly high multiple for a stock with a debt-to-capital ratio of 50%. Palm has a relatively large short position of 35 million shares, which probably adds to share price volatility."
"We believe sales of the Palm Centro remain solid at Sprint (S: NR-$9.20), but that sales of the older Treo models, including the Treo 700wx at Verizon (VZ: NR-$38.96) and Sprint, and ...

Worst May be Over for Palm; Reiterate Outperform
PALM
+121.52%

6/5 - "We expect Palm to report its fiscal Q4:08 results (May 2008) in late June, with revenues of $284 million (5% below consensus) and non-GAAP EPS of ($0.24), 6 pennies below consensus...May will likely be another ugly quarter financially for Palm, but trends should only improve going forward. We believe a very low number of Treos were likely sold into the carrier channel in May as carriers drained legacy Treo inventory ahead of the refresh. We believe Centro growth continued unabated, and that a number of significant product launches are forthcoming."
"Our thesis on Palm has been that ...

The company faces increased competition with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone in the consumer market and Research in Motion (RIMM) in the enterprise market...reiterate our Sell rating and six-month price target of $4.00."

The Game's Over for Palm
PALM
-121.52%
in
392 days
5/29 - "Palm shares are down 65% since October 07 and down over 75% since April 2006, the Chart is even more depressing...So is there any hope?
Not until 2009 when Palm's new Linux product should hit the market, but by that time Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and RIM's (RIMM) Blackberry will run the planet.
So what hope do you have if you buy PALM shares?
Not much. Maybe someone will buy them, but Carl Icahn already has his money in Motorola (MOT), so that boat has sailed. Who in their right mind would buy Palm?
Nobody."

3/25 - "Palm Inc.'s (PALM) risk profile has increased significantly, says Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek, who adds he’s “not convinced” that the scheduled launch of its Windows-based mobile Treo device this summer, aimed at the enterprise smartphone market, will be enough to turn around the company’s fortunes."
"Mr. Miskek says the company’s risk profile has increased due to to its $74.4-million in illiquid auction rate securites that it is currently evaluating for impairment. These auction rate securities are now classified as cash, and any impairment charge could decrease cash balan...

Here's something Palm (palm) doesn't want you to know: If you're a Verizon (vz) customer who owns one of its 700p phones, and you either upgraded to the new version 1.10 software as suggested by Palm -- or received one with the update pre-installed -- there's a chance your phone doesn't work very well anymore. You'll have trouble accessing the Internet, at which point you'll be greeted with an "error 3000" message, and your phone may freeze as you dance around from application to application. <> I know -- because I own one. And I'm on a replacement, which doesn't wor...
