Nokia Refutes Talk Of Microsoft Sale; Ticonderoga Likes It
01 June 2011
Shares of Microsoft ( MSFT ) have been under pressure this morning, and one thing appearing to contribute to downturn are rumors the company would step in to purchase Nokia ( NOK ) for $19 billion, according to remarks by Eldar Murtazin , a blogger widely credited with scooping Microsoft’s deal with Nokia earlier this year. Murtazin’s blog appears not to have that claim today, but he is cited as stating such by Todd Haselton in a piece this morning on BoyGeniusReport . A Nokia spokesperson, however, tells The Wall Street Journal’s Christopher Lawton a short while ago that, “These rumors are completely baseless.” Murtazin has speculated as recently as May 16th that the two companies were talking about a deal

RIM Off 6%: More Nokia Tea Leaves
01 June 2011
Shares of Research in Motion ( RIMM ) are taking it on the chin this morning, down $2.60, or 6%, at $40.25, as analysts continue to ponder the implications for the company following Nokia’s ( NOK ) reduced outlook yesterday. As I wrote yesterday , some analysts see opportunity for RIM in Nokia’s flagging sales, but there’s also a concern Nokia’s turmoil at the hands of Android-based phones could be an omen for RIM as well. For example, Jefferies & Co.’s Peter Misek today writes that average selling prices for the company’s wares could “collapse,” leading to an erosion of gross profit margin from 35% fiscal Q4 to 30% in the current quarter.

As Donald Trump has stated previously, were he to run for President (and he says he doesn’t want to but might have to because “the world laughs at us and they won’t be laughing at us if I’m president”), the first issued he’d tackle is “this business” with China. The Don says he’s uniquely to do so because 1) he “ buys a lot of products from China ” and 2) he knows how to “ knows how to say things ,” unlike our diplomats

Coachella 2012 Expands To TWO Weekends, Tickets Go On Sale THIS FRIDAY
Posted on 01 June 2011
Truly stunning news broke yesterday when the mysterious wizards behind the curtain of our favorite annual music festival in the desert decided to announce just weeks after this year’s event that Coachella 2012 will be held over not one, but TWO weekends. Oh, and tickets for both go on sale this FRIDAY, as in two days from today. This is peculiar for a number of reasons, but mostly because advanced notice isn’t really Coachella’s thing, and if you recall, didn’t even announce last year’s festival dates until the middle of August . Keep reading for all the details on yesterday’s major Coachella 2012 revelations and how to not be SOL with your ticket situation
