Everything is slowing down now so this is to be expected which is maybe why there will be less new product releases and a continuation of the current range for the foreseeable future? would that be a fair comment?

The boom of recent has to stop somewhere for a correction to take place, what happened to the markets last week is a clear indication that things are not as rosy as many would like and with what 4 increases in the base rate this year alone, the outlook is not good... many are liquidating assets and cashing in so to speak just in case there is a collapse or crash etc..

Daniel is right about selling on good news. I listen to BBC Radio 4 Today programme in the mornings and they often report company's interim and final reports and when it is a good financial report nine times out of ten the company's share price has dropped immediately.

For me this is a good time to buy B&O shares for two main reasons 1) the price is lower than it was 2) they have already spent the R&D money on new products which we will see in the coming two years and their product gross margins continue to go up year-on-year which for shareholders means potentially more operating profits and therefore dividend payments to shareholders.

The company has also this year provided all employees an allocation of shares..

Bear in mind that B&O have been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes updating with their TVs, which I would imagine is a considerable job from a technical point of view. We can't expect as many new products, when effectively, the BeoVision 7 is an internally completely different set as from quite soon...

Sell on good news, buy on bad news. Seems to be the case here too.

I don't think this is really bad. A lot of people also sell the stocks to take their profit with it. Later they will buy again. Same thing with AAPL

To be fair, most stocks have fallen, whatever they sell or do. Just be glad that the end of easy 'private equity' groups means we're unlikely to see B&O falling into the hands of the kind of people that would asset strip and reduce the company to selling equipment through Wallmart/Tesco and the like

... has been falling for the third consecutive day after publication of their annual report. The market does not seem to be positive about the B&O business outlook.
