Borders' New Website an Act of Desperation

 May 29, 2008 05:20 PM UTC
Symbol Sentiment Start Return Closed
BGP Negative 05/29/08 +89.74% --

5/27 - "Borders hopes that taking its site in house will compensate for its sputtering bricks-and-mortar store business. Unfortunately, and more likely, Borders will now be able to fail at two businesses instead of one."

"Will Borders.com succeed? Almost certainly not. To succeed in a commodity ecommerce business like books, you need scale, and as the chart below shows, Borders has none.

So what should this proud possessor of not one but two crappy businesses do? Sell the company immediately."
