Microsoft is down 6% in after hours. I'm a little surprised since the results look reasonably good.

Quoted: Microsoft's revenue rose 18 percent for both its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter and year, but the company's Online Services Business (OSB), under scrutiny due to heated negotiations to purchase Yahoo's search business, continues to falter.

Microsoft is way down, too.

Quoted: Google announced their Q2 results today after the market had closed. Shares are down by as much as 12% as earnings growth reported was below analysts expectations. Net income for the quarter was $1.25B, up from $925M. The company reported a profit of $4.63 per share, which was slightly below the $4.72 average expectation from Wall Street analysts.

PEG is PE/growth projections. The thing to consider is that these companies could miss their growth projections, especially if the economy tanks.

Quoted: So the next stop is the "middle 20". These are publicly traded web technology stocks with a market cap over $1 billion. In our analysis below, more than half have a PEG below 1.0, which tends to signal "bargain opportunity" to investors. (caution: of course that is only a starting point for analysis, there could be some real dogs in there).

Quoted: 20 Top-performing stocks . These Fortune 500 stocks offered some of the best returns to shareholders last year. Will they keep rising?

Netflix is partnering with set-top box manufactures. I agree -- it would be nice if Netflix functionality was included the Xbox 360.

Quoted: Details surrounding Netflix's upcoming set-top box partnership with LG are still scarce, but that hasn't stopped it from announcing similar plans with four other unnamed hardware manufacturers that it expects will sell "millions" of devices per year.

Quoted: The dollar is in a tailspin, the trade deficit is growing and a recession is on the horizon. The American way of life is in serious danger. But the head of the Federal Reserve keeps on pumping easy credit into the system -- a crazy policy that will worsen the crisis.

Google Finance just added a stock screener. The main advantage I see over Yahoo's is that the UI is simple, and you don't need Java. The main disadvantage is that it is missing the PEG ratio.

Good post, although saving money is significant a motivator for me. That is why I take the bus and why I have replaced all my bulbs (which also saves time since fluorescent bulbs last longer).

Quoted: Sacrifice 30 minutes of extra sleep on the weekend to deal with Zipcar vs. pull the car out of the garage? Spend 1-2 hours to replace all the bulbs in the house? Not going to happen.

Saving money is also often not a sufficient motivator. But increasing portfolio returns vs. other investment vehicles while significantly improving health, all of which can start with testing the effects of one green change?
