Any predictions as to what will happen with HP? 

The P/E is 3 right now.  Pays 4.5% dividend. 

(No plans to buy any, just fun to discuss). 

Next will be more board shakeups, and the dawning realization that Meg Whitman was a terrible choice for CEO, but due to her celebrity she will be hard to get rid of.

After that, expect more accounting irregularities, more executive shakeups, and in about three years Meg Whitman will leave with about a $100 million separation package after the company has completely cratered and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

HP reminds me of an adolescent dinosaur that is moving into adulthood with a lot of uncertainty about the future.

HP seems to be involved in a scandal every year.  In the last one board members were spying on each other and the company executives.  They found out the CEO at the time (or was that the board chairman) was going for cancer treatments.
