if it were a single event, it would be different. Pentax has been revising
projected sales figures downwards since the *istDS was announced and they
did so before as well, since the announcement of the *istD, in fact. that's
a lot of quarters where the president stands up in front of shareholders and
says they were too optimistic again. there is only so much of that to go on
until people stop believing you. that's reflected in the stock price. it
peaked at something over 600 yen per share just before the announcement of
the *istD and is now in the mid 300s.

If I put as much effort into this as you seem to, I am sure I could prove
that Canon is about to go under. All one needs to do is identify one
negative trend and extrapolate it until Kingdom come. It's easy to do,
but it's not actually reality.
