Palm PixiWe know a lot about the Pixi, but there might still be some questions about the slick little phone floating around in your noggin. If that’s the case, then you might want to hop on the Twitter and send Palm your question, because Phil McClendon, director of product marketing at Palm, will be answering questions about the Pixi through Palm’s Twitter account on this coming Monday (November 2) from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm (EST). All you have to do to participate: send your question to @palm with the hashtag #pixi included and Phil will answer as many questions as he can.

PALM shares hammered 13% in one day

October 30th 2009 | Posted by Derek Kessler

Palm

If you happen to own shares of Palm stock, I recommend you turn away now, because if you thought Tuesday and Wednesday were bad, then you might just faint after seeing today’s numbers: shares of Palm were down $1.80 – that’s -13.42% – today alone. Coupled with losses on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the stock is down a painful 22.2% for this week alone, and 33.5% for October. This was the worst month for Palm stock since November 2008 when Palm dropped 52.9% (from $3.99 to $1.88), the last down month before Palm promised “new-ness” at CES 2009.

To put it in perspective, Palm dropped more today than the stock was worth on December 5, 2008 (a low close of $1.42). Still, a drop of 13% is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, it’s more something to have a stroke at. Stocks don’t drop like that without a reason. On a whole the entire stock market was down miserably today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ technology exchange both hit for -2.5% after the US government reported that consumer spending for September dropped by 0.5% (the worst in nine months and following a Cash for Clunkers fueled 1.9% uptick in August). Competitors like Apple, Google, and Research in Motion were down 2.7% to 4.3%. It was just Wednesday that Standard & Poor’s upgraded Palm’s credit rating and stated a positive outlook for the company, though they noted that Palm was still sensitive to the state of the economy (which today’s numbers showed may not be in as good a shape as had been hoped).
