Yet even if one does take that jaundiced view, the good news is that H-P has at least gained some critical breathing room despite share prices sinking to 10-year lows.
After all, the PDI-P had a clear mandate: It had won the largest share of the vote in June's parliamentary elections (34%) and had the most seats in the MPR (185 - 153 seats in parliament or the DPR, plus 32 regional representatives).
Looking at my statistics though it looks like people only want to read about the S and P down- grade of Treasury securities, so I thought I would share my personal experience with the fall-out.
No deliberations over a Hurd or an Apotheker can mean much when the board is content to let a company like H-P lurch from pillar to post in hopes of quick revenue injections to stave off inevitable market share erosions.
