Comment on Stephen Elop Costs Nokia 10 Million Dollars of Lost Profit Every Day

Comments

Probably the worst analysis you will read today.

How bad is it? He spends 12 paragraphs "justifying" 7% future growth alternative scenario based on the 7% observed growth from Q3 to holiday Q4.

Then he doesn't use this. He instead goes with a linear assumption of decreasing market share. Again ignores the holiday quarter and historical decline (-14% drop from Q4 09 to Q1 10 in a much better environment for Nokia). And spends the next 20-30 paragraphs fencing with straw men.

Haha, that's incredible. Lies, damned lies and statistics.
