VMware is EMC's hero!




EMC Corp. reported a 20 percent increase in second quarter net income Tuesday on a 21 percent increase in revenue, driven in part by the success of its VMware subsidiary, a portion of which soon will be spun off in an IPO.

EMC reported net income of US$334.4 million, or $0.16 per share on revenue of $3.12 billion, for the three months ended June 30, compared to net income of $279 million, or $0.12 a share, on revenue of $2.57 billion in the same quarter of 2006.

Contributors to EMC's results included its VMware Inc. subsidiary, a provider of virtualization software, which reported a revenue increase of 89 percent to $298 million. EMC is planning to sell off 10 percent of VMware in an IPO (initial public offering) of stock this quarter. EMC said July 9 that VMware stock would be priced between $23 and $25 a share when it goes on the market.

Wall Street pillars come crashing down: Lehman Brothers file Bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch sale to Bank of America; AIG heading for bankruptsy

This is a shocking day, we thought someone would have pulled Lehman, Merrill Lynch like Bear Stearns, Freddie, Fannie. But it is shaking time! We have some tough challenges here. Get ready to stand up on your own! Expect real harsh conditions in 2009! A stunning makeover of the Wall Street landscape sent stocks falling precipitously Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials sliding 500 points in their worst point drop since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Investors reacted badly to a shakeup of the financial industry that took out two storied names: Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch Co. Stocks also posted big losses in markets across much of the globe as investors absorbed Lehman's bankruptcy filing and what was essentially a forced sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for $50 billion in stock. While those companies' situations had reached some resolution, the market remained anxious about American International Group Inc. , which is seeking emergency funding to shore...
