答疑：liuczhiNow for decades, the market for photographic film was dominated by Kodak. But with more and more of us using digital cameras instead, the market for film has collapsed and soon Kodak with it perhaps. The American firm has filed for bankruptcy protection to give it time to reorganise itself. But for years it's been trying and failing to adapt to a new way of taking pictures. Kodak's shares have now been suspended for the duration of its bankruptcy protection after massive ups and mostly downs in recent weeks.
Let's hear about the rest of the stock market news from Peter Jankovskis. He's director of research at OakBrook Investments in Chicago.
"Intel, Microsoft and IBM all posted better than expected earnings and all of them are trading up anywhere from 1% to 3% after hours now. Google was the major disappointment. They have been forecast to earn $10.50 per share, and they only delivered earnings of $9.50. So they're off quite substantially. They were down about 9%. And they have been down actually more than 10% at one point after hours."
"You know, what were investors expecting then different from what they saw?"
"Well, I think the story across the board was disappointing revenue. It just turned out that Google's was a little bit more of a disappointment than the other companies. They have a little more exposure to Europe apparently. The others were able to compensate with some cost-savings."数十年来柯达都主导着摄影胶片市场。但是随着越来越多人转而使用数字相机，胶片市场已经萧条，不久柯达可能也难逃此劫。这家美国公司已经申请破产保护从而争取时间实行重组。但是近年来，它不断尝试却又未能适应一种新的照相方式。柯达股票经过近几周的大起大落，现在已在柯达受破产保护期间被摘牌。
接下来，芝加哥橡树溪投资公司的研究主任彼得·扬科夫斯基斯将为我们报道股票市场的其他消息。
“在英特尔，微软和IBM都发布了超乎预期的收入报告，并且收盘后交易都有百分之一到百分之三的上浮。谷歌突显失落：预计每股收益10.50美元，而实际每股收益只有9.50美元。所以谷歌股价可谓是大幅度下降，跌幅达9%，而且实际上在收盘后曾一度下降10%。”
“投资者们的期待和所见到底有何不同？”
“嗯，我认为全盘的问题是收入不尽人意。结果是相比其他公司，谷歌的表现有点更令人失望。这是因为谷歌受到欧洲的影响明显多一些。而其他公司能够通过节约成本来补偿损失.”
