Questions 11 • Why Stocks instead of ETF? ✓ • Why is Asia still a good place to invest? • Guarantees of future growth • Why should we move into these specific stocks? • Pricing • Performance
Asia 12 • Manufacturing slowdown due mostly to slowing exports to US and Europe • Should recover with new ECB action and stability after the US election • Quantitiative easing by China encourage investment • Services PMI, more reflective of the health of the domestic Chinese economy, has shown continuous expansion through the slowdown, suggesting that growth never really stopped
Asia 13 • Rising wages are creating a new Chinese middle class, creating an enormous new pool of consumers • China’s services sector is growing. • Service transactions are more difficult to track than industrial ones • GDP is most likely understated • Electricity usage argument flawed • Service industry uses much less electricity
18 • Manufacturers in China expanded rapidly, without worrying if goods would be sold. • Demand (from Europe) dropped, resulting in oversupply. • Inventory buildup, Production plants closing. • Manufacturing appears to be bottoming out. Supply has adjusted to demand. • Inventories are sold off. Stocks ready for recovery.
19 • Barring a catastrophe, China’s ability to power world economic growth should continue for many years, as the Chinese service sector is still in its infancy and has enormous potential for growth • China’s & Asia’s rise shall continue – recent events were merely a temporary inconvenience.

Thesis Since HPQ has been on our portfolio, it has consistently underperformed … there is NO promising news, a WEAK balance sheet, and uncertainty over their management and business model It is time to sell!
Severe Underperformance • Down 32% Year To Date • Down 40% from 52 Week High • $30.00 on Februrary 17th • Down 58% from Purchase Price of $42.83
Key Events • Underperformed Analyst Estimates for Past 3 Quarterly Reports • New CEO, Meg Whitman (Formerly of Ebay) Came in Last September • Announced that 27,000 Employees will be laid off in May after 30% decline in profits • Recently announced 2,000 Additional Lay Offs
Key Events • Ending All Business in Smartphone and Tablet Market • Shifting Business Model Away from Consumer Electronics and PCs and More Into Software and Servers for the Commercial and Government Markets • Rejected idea to completely do away with their PC Business, but this has seriously hurt their image among consumers
Hewlett Packard In the News • July Headlines • Printing company Lexmark cut its outlook, which doesn’t bode well for HP, which fell 2.5% on the news. • HP’s credit default swaps have greatly increased in price • Layoffs confirmed at Rio Rancho facility • Baird cuts outlook for HPQ
Hewlett Packard In the News • August Headlines • HP announced Q3 loss of $8.9B, largely attributed to $8B charge for its acquisition of Electronic Data Systems, and the general slow down of the PC market. • The Street downgraded HPQ from “Hold” to “Sell” • Credit Suisse cut HPQ’s price target nearly 20% • Forbes: PC growth for 2012 has slowed to just 0.9%, leaving growth under 2% for the second straight year.
Hewlett Packard In the News • August Headlines (continued) • NY Times: • HP claims that its mobile operating system, WebOS is alive and well, but in reality HP has moved hundreds of employees away from developing WebOS, many of which have gone to work for other companies. • This isn’t really a surprising move since it was primarily meant for HP’s would-be iPad competitor, the TouchPad, which lasted only seven weeks on the market, which HP killed after very poor sales. WebOS also continues to struggle in mobile phone market share.
Hewlett Packard In the News • September Headlines • HPQ announced that they are going to cut an additional 2,000 workers, bring the total to 29,000 workers slated to be laid off by 2014. • CEO Whitman sees this as just the beginning of restructuring efforts. • Associated Press: Report detailing HP’s failures since the iPhone’s launch in 2007. Since then HP has spent over $40B on acquisitions, most of have been duds, and are still losing money today.
