The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which consumer goods editor and analyst Austin Smith discusses topics across the investing world.
In today's edition, Austin talks about why he isn't betting against tech space pariah Hewlett Packard. Despite being an arguably directionless company with a management in a revolving door, HP is so darn cheap right now that any good news sends shares upward. That's exactly what happened recently when it maintained its lead in PC shipments at 15 million units; only HP and Apple gained market share. Trading for less than five times market share is hard to ignore as well. Ultimately Hewlett Packard isn't a company that I'd suggest buying, but certainly not one I'm suggesting you bet against.
Big tech names might gather a lot of investor attention, but the truth is that they're playing second fiddle to an even larger revolution in technology. To better prepare investors for this new revolution, The Motley Fool has just released a free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion Dollar Revolution" that details a hidden component play inside mobile phones that also is a market leader in the exploding Chinese market. Inside the report, we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend. Hundreds of thousands have requested access to previous reports, and you can access this new report today by clicking here -- it's free.
