I've seen Sony contiuously underperform in comparison to tech/gaming tech companies. They are not a quality company, no good marketing, no good products, no good customer service, etc... whose with me?
I worked for Sony for 11 years. It was my choice to leave a good paying job because of Sony's practices and in ability to provide good customer service amoung other things.
I have them in here for an outperform just for the summer movie release. They are involved heavily in the big summer release schedule. Once that is over I will probably drop them again unless I can find some convincing information to keep them on.
I currently have them as an outperform but I just did a back of the envelope trend analysis of raw material usage in Japan and determined they will be a net importer of raw materials for a long time at very bad markup increases due to inflation of such costs in my estimation. Since SONY is located in Japan I will be selling my stock and changing to under perform soon.... UNDER PERFORM for JAPAN in general for next 5 - 10 years.SesameNOW
I disagree - I believe that Sony will outperform in the longer run. They have a lineup of quality products at reasonable prices and I own a number of their products (Cameras (2), Radio/CD player, TV's (2), Walkman MP3/Video player and have never had a problem with any of them. I did have a question about the operation of the Walkman when I first bought it and called Sony's customer service. My experience was an excellent one - quick response, courteous, and professional. I found your write-up rather unbelievable based on my own personal experience.
I disagree with your comment. Sony offer's great products although sometimes over priced IMO. The import thing to remember is SNE's is a much larger contributor to the BDA then other tech companies. I've had SNE outperform and although it's a slow grower currently, I think it's a steady growth stock for long term.
Not me.
You are absolutly right man, Sony's PS3 gaming system is peanuts compared to Microsoft's Xbox 360
i dont like sony out of spite... and the wii and 360 are running laps around PS3...
That's an interesting call. I'm looking at SNE specifically because I think the Japanese market will outperform the US and Europe over the next decade. Remember that Japan had a 13-year bear market that started way back in the early 90's and just ended in 2003, as opposed to ours which just started in 2000.
