| Call Intuit's 800 number (800-433-8810) and ask for one or a transfer to
investor services.
There is a stock traded on NASDAQ call INTUIT INC COM (INTU). If this is the
same company its trading at 37 1/4 near an all time high with a P/E of 73.

Thanks for their 800 number. I guess I should have figured that out for
myself given that I bought Quicken.
The company that you noticed on the NASDAQ with symbol INTU is the
same company. I didn't know their p/e was so high (73) wow. The p/e
hasn't been listed in the WSJ. Most of the time it appears as "...".
Thanks for the reply.

| 571.4 | any barriers to entry? | SLOAN::HOM | | Mon Feb 01 1993 10:45 | 21 |
| If a company has a good product, it is only a question of time
before a competitor begins to nibble away at a company's marketshare.
There are factors which might slow a competitor down - barriers to
entry. For example, Adobe for a long time had a very elegant algorithm
for printing. The company prosper. In time, competitors came in.
PTC has a very elegant mathematical technique for solids modeling. The
algorithm was developed by a bunch of Russian mathematians. Since that
caliber of scientist is rather rare, there are significant barriers to entry.
As a result, PTC sales is growing by leaps and bounds.
Consider Intel - the barriers to making money like Intel is 50,000
applications and a few billion bucks for a semiconductor plant.
The question one has to ask is: what is unique about Intuit that a few smart
MBA's and few millions bucks couldn't overcome? Computer Associates is
trying to do just that.

| 571.5 | The answer is simple | LMOPST::AUDIO::MCGREAL | | Thu Sep 30 1993 11:09 | 25 |
|
They have a better product and they know how to convince the
buying public of that.
What really helps is that they (Intuit) were their first
with an excellent product. Even Microsoft Money isn't as good.
Innovation is always better than Imitation. Even if the imitators
do well, sooner or later they have to come up with their own good ideas.
If they can't, they die.
In addition Intuit is smart enough to realize that you can't live
forever on the merits on a single product so they buy Chipsoft
(Turbo-Tax fame). Turbo-Tax is also No. 1 in their market
with no close second.
Having a tightly coupled personal financial management package
with tax preparation is yet another strong product.
Competition is a fact of life.
Nibbling on a market is Ok.
Having an entire meal is what really hurts.

Intuit doesn't seem to be bothered by giant klutzes like CA trying to
grab the market with very aggressive moves (the Free Money offer).
CA seems to be shooting at where INTUIT WAS.
Meanwhile, Intuit seem to have moved to personal finance related services,
takeovers and on to the PDA market (They seem to have a PDA version of
Quicken on the Newton - see the latest PC Magazine article on PDAs).

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU)
Monday announced the release of its newest version of the Quicken
Video.
For the first time, Quicken Video 2 covers Quicken concepts on all
platforms and demonstrates the basic and newest features of the leading
personal finance packages Quicken 3 for Windows, Quicken 7 for DOS, and
Quicken 4 for Macintosh.
By offering the new Quicken Video 2, Intuit is the only personal
finance software company to provide a comprehensive line of learning
tools. The Quicken Video 2 provides visually stimulating training to a
new generation of video learning enthusiasts. It's the perfect
supplement to traditional tools such as manuals, onscreen help and
tutorials.
"Different people have different learning styles," said Suna
Kneisley, Quicken Video product manager at Intuit. "Whereas some
people learn best reading the manual, or using onscreen tools, others
feel more comfortable watching concepts visually unfold before them.
We developed Quicken Video 2 to address these customers' needs."
Quicken Video 2 acquaints new users with Quicken prior to
installation. Intuit research shows that a large segment of the
population don't use personal finance software because they're
unfamiliar with personal finance software and its benefits.
By watching Quicken Video 2, new and prospective users can gain a
better understanding of Quicken's features and benefits -- they can
"see" how Quicken will help them organize their finances.
Intuit develops and markets products and services that enable
households and small businesses to automate commonly performed
financial tasks. Quicken, the company's original product, allows users
to automate their personal finances. In March 1992, the company
introduced QuickBooks, its first small business accounting product. In
June 1993, Intuit announced Pocket Quicken for Zoomer.
To complement Quicken, QuickBooks and its other software products,
Intuit offers a broad range of supplies, including checks, invoices and
forms. In addition, the company has a number of service offerings,
such as the Quicken VISA card with IntelliCharge, that work with its
software products to further automate financial tasks.

| 571.8 | Good Alert! | MIMS::BEKELE_D | When indoubt THINK! | Sun Jul 16 1995 18:58 | 23 |
| Well, it has been two years since the base note appeared
(hope the noter and others did buy then).
After DOJ showered MSFT & Intuit with cold water the price of
Intuit plummeted to the 60+ range. Then rumors of a take-over
pushed it up again to the mid 70th. Now it is in the mid 80th
after it announced that it has the backing of several major banks &
financial institutions in allowing customers transact through
the upcomming new version of Quicken.
Question #1. Do you think this will be a niche market or a good
share of the transaction business even though it may take awhile
justifying the current P/E of INTU (two years ago INTU had a P/E
of 73) ? If unjustfied, would you sell INTU short?
Question #2. After a rumor and, if after awhile a buyer does
not stepout, the price of the rumored company usually goes down.
In the case of Intuit, however, the price remained until its
marketing announcement and kept on going after the announcement.
What do you make of it?
Regards,
Dan
