Herb is a financial analyst, if he were really good at it he wouldn't be
working for someone else.

As for the rest, I think you underestimate the power of your own voice. The person who started this thread said he had read that Pentax was in financial difficulties. How many other people have read one of Herb's posts and believed it? According to Herb's prognostications, Pentax went bust six months ago.

Let me tried to understand this: is the imaging division of Pentax now making profit? That's the one Herb was saying was a loss-maker. He always said that the company, as a whole, was making money.

According to their latest report (2005.11.09: Interim Report on Settlement

of

Accounts ( Consolidated ) for Business Year Ending March 31, 2006), the imaging division made an operating loss.

The company as a whole is profitable.

Which is what Herb has always said. Of course he guessed whether the company would close down the loss-making division, but of course all anyone can do about that is guess.

Yes, I agree. Herb may have been dubious about Pentax's future, but he did not distort the figures. He reported the financial facts accurately.
