1999 to 2005 was a very tough time to be in high tech. A lot of companies went out of business. H-P didn’t.
That’s right and every time I see all the BS about her at HP it makes me sick. Take a look at the next two guys, one fired for using “women in Marketing” little more than escorts. He had a slush fund for girlfriend on his payroll and her girls at trade shows. Then the next guy was so ready to remove every part of HP except services he was gone in less than a year - next comes Meg.
Yeah, my son worked for HP during those days. He was a survivor and moved on around 2006. He actually thought what Fiorina did for HP was what was necessary at the time.
We need her going after Hillary and certainly as an alternative to Bush. Kasich, Rubio, Etc. too bad she made the mistake of trashing Trump.
Yeah, comparing a tech company's decline from the apex of the tech boom to 2005 against the broader S&P500 is a tad disingenuous. Why not compare it to NASDAQ? It was still down 60% from the peak of the bubble in 2005...
I know little of her time and performance at HP, but that is a cherry picked stat.
The first time I ever heard of Fiorini was from a neighbor that worked at AT&T. He ranted about her a couple of times, complaining about the harm she was doing to the business of the facility he worked at, and finally managed to transfer to Bell Labs before the facility ended up closing.

Also wasn’t there a couple of airplanes in 2001 that pretty much trashed the economy over that period?
I remember it well just in the hotel business. We immediately lost 60% of our business. Dot.com bubble burst didn’t help either.
