Panasonic Corporation (PC)

a good stock

bullish

CEO talking about drastic measures to reorganize company. 180 degree shift from profits to even bigger losses than were profits. Penny stock waiting to happen.
I will short in real life.

Top production lines, customer satisfaction, and quality products don't account for everything, but they definitely tip the scales in their favor. Most of their electronics products rate very high on Amazon.com's customer reviews. Competition is stiff, but it's my belief that Panasonic will emerge from the economic downturn a huge winner!

Tough area this Electronic stuff! Holmes becareful with this stuff. Many Maybe we could Chort this stock!

BBY is slashing sales forecasts, CC is bankrupt. Why? Because brands like PC aren't selling as well as consumers tighten their purse strings. The next year will be chanllenging for PC, and others.

Involved in Battery Tech. Hybrids and Electrics will drive

Tech - Trading technically this looks like it could pop.

Matsushita Electric currently has a patent for an organic based rechargeable battery. As energy is not going to go away any time soon, and is going to be moved to the forefront of global policy, there are a few areas of overall energy investment one should look into.

Current energy requirements can roughly be divided into three sections, albeit more divisions are possible: Transportation needs, Utilities needs, and consumer needs.

Under transportation, consumer, and utilities lies the traditional oil and gas company which will continue to be a power house for at least the next 10 years, probably longer. Even if, today, every single car company started manufacturing a car that was 100% independent of petrol, it would still take 10 years for the average car on the road to change over to this new technology (economic policy might facilitate slightly faster growth). Even if transportation is entirely free of traditional oil, the utilities sector and consumer product sector will not be so lucky.

Given the exponential growth of energy requirements on top of the exponential growth of the human race, oil will continue to get more expensive (with slight dips and fluctuations.) Again, assuming transportation requirements for oil can be neglected, developing countries still will require consumer products as will already developed countries. This leaves the chemical and plastic industry (which relies entirely on the oil industry to function) as a primary user of oil. Part of the demand can be bet my biomass refining (of course it can be assumed that transportation will use most of this availability). As such, oil companies will continue to be able to cater to this demand. Bottom line: Invest in large oil companies/refineries (refineries are not going to go anywhere. ever.)

Also in the consumer market is the reliance on a viable energy source to power electronic devices. As materials limitations will be met for many devices with the ever increasing population, an increased dependence on organics will occur. Especially concerning is the Lithium-Ion trend in batteries. If we continue to grow and advocate rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in devices, it will be impossible to keep up unless an alternative is found. Organics prove to be one of the most promising research endeavors due to their cheapness and abundance. Again, problems exist with providing the necessary throughput, but research is looking to overcome that. Therefore, it is well worth investing in companies providing promising battery solutions to the traditional Lithium Ion technology. MC has something in the works and is in place as a global company to readily provide solutions.

The utilities sector will be making use of more renewable energy technologies in the future, and ever-growing dependence will be placed on organic-based solutions (organic PV technology, Carbon nanotubes, etc.) Thus, while it may be worthwhile investing in current renewables, it is important to realize that materials limitations will play a huge role in the currently advocated infrastructure if technologies are to be adopted on a large scale.

MC Considerations: The company has a very good debt/equity ratio, and is on the forefront of technology. Given that it is a large company that seems to have patents issued for next-gen consumer-level energy technology and it is a profitable company, the company is in a great position for the future, although immediate gains should not be anticipated.

demand for hybrid will increase as consumers look at alternate energy consumption

DIGITAL TV SEP THEY WILL SELL LOTSOF TVS

this stock is at the top. get ready to go back down.

I CAN'T EXPAND MUCH MORE THAN IT LOOKED GOOD AND I PICKED IT.
THE THING IS I'M NOT IN THE BUSINESS, I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR DRIVE TO EXPAND ON MUCH OF ANY OF MY PICKS. I'M A ROOKY AND I GO FOR WHAT I HERE, READ AND THINK WILL BE GOOD.

Energy stocks are on the rise by overcharging the american public and reaming us until we can't buy a loaf of bread, welcome to the new world!

We got news today that Pioneer, after taking a $15 Billion net loss, will start buying all their plasma panels from Matsushita. With Pioneer taking a huge loss this fiscal year, it looks to be in Matsushita's favor. Expect a steady gain in this puppy and you'll be howling all the way to the bank!

The Third largest electronic company, in Japan, can't be all that bad.

I built a new stock screen using Microsoft Money. Quality Value Picks. I do not discriminate. If it pops up, I'm rolling with it. I trust my fundamental screening criteria.

Matsushita has always been known for quality control and fault free products, as opposed to some of their electronics competitors who were more adventurous, innovative, and at times launch-happy. Nowadays, for all of the flash and glitz and tinsel of their offerings in the domestic and culturally local markets, when Panasonic or National Electronics are keeping to the old model in their really foreign markets. They know to specify the offering to the market. The other Japanese electronics are maturing to this as well. Even the Koreans are catching on. The Chinese don't seem to get it yet, that the west generally dislikes disposable electronics.The short term is too hard to predict, what with the housing market slump and with it the feeling of lost disposable wealth. (and yet even in this market, BestBuy is have one of its best years) Still eventually the consumer electronics revolution that is going on in the Far East will arrive here in the west. three to five years out MC will have ironed out all the bugs and trimmed the tinsel, and be selling us the kernel of actually useful stuff. Put intelligent engineers, intelligent marketers and intelligent management in one room and you will get MC.
