This Is Why Hewlett Packard Just Announced Another 16,000 Job Cuts

I worked for HP in Palo Alto.  This once-great-company is faltering.

From Zero Hedge:

Want to know why HPQ is forced to fire so many well-paying jobs it once again makes a mockery of anyone who claims there is some economic recovery going on? The chart below, which compares the company's quarterly CapEx, declining (so no, not increasing as some clueless sellside analyst hacks claim) by 16% from last quarter to $840 million and thus leading to less growth opportunities for the company and resulting in tens of thousands of pink slips, and the soaring amount of stock buybacks, which rose by nearly 50% in Q2 from Q1 to $831 million, the most since 2011, should provide all the answers.
