Harman continues to lead the market in home theater systems. The growth potential is great and looks like a good buy.

OK, this stock definitely wins the stupid award of the day.

"Harman International Industries, Incorporated (Harman International) is engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of high-fidelity audio products and electronic systems." This sentence should end with "in a recession." Can anyone say "lack of consumer discretionary spending?" Sure you can!

The company announced a loss (yes, loss) in 2Q of $.05 cents a share beating estimates of a $0.23 a share loss. And the shareholders got OH SOOOO excited so they bid the stock up 21% in a single day? Boy and I thought the market was looking for just about ANY GOOD NEWS to bid up the market, silly me. This is a firm that has not made a single cent in the past 5 quarters of operations. And its 2011 forecasted P/E is now 31. Give me a break. This company hasn't even proven it can make money in a single quarter and yet it deserves a multiple like that?

Have I mentioned the debt or book value? So they have $631MM in debt, book value of 2.5, a negative ROE and massive Capital Expenditures burning through their operating cash.

This looks so tasty I may have to buy a few puts and see what happens.
