Do you also refer to this Nikkei report? I am afraid I am too lazy to read all those financial articles. English is not my first language and an automatic English translation from a Japanese financial article may be absolutely cryptic for me ;-) ...however, after reading the reactions to this post in the same thread, I believed that it was accurate. Regards, Jaume ========== New news article: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2c7cca36-04dd-11dc-80ed-000b5df10621.html And I just posted, what was it, two days ago? Another, day earlier, article that Hoya was going to keep the camera division and Pentax would become a subsidiary of Hoya. This story has been reported, over time, so many different ways that I question the veracity of any of them at this point. And Nikkei is the one that said they were going to sell their HQ. Except that when Pentax released their financial report that wasn't in it at all. So they were dead wrong on that. It seems whoever is reporting the story, reporter, paper, inserts their own slant. First Hoya is going to merge with Pentax and axe the camera division. Then Pentax is going to sell HQ (and maybe buy more stock). Then the CEO is ousted, all kinds of reasons given for that one. Some articles imply the reason the board drew out of the merger was to protect the camera division. Then other articles imply they withdrew to protect their jobs (in the merger deal they would have lost them), with no mention of the camera division at all. I recommend you also read the article in the thread I started, "Hoya Agrees to Keep Camera Division". With some much misinformation floating around, things reportedly very differently by different papers, it is really hard to tell what is going on. I just know about 1/2 of them have been inaccurate 1/4 - 1/2 of the time so far. As far as we can tell. (Another example - People were being reshuffled from one building to another, cutting management, etc.) So, personally, I feel it is too soon to be an alarmist. Now, after May 24th, maybe you can be then. ;-) Marnie aka Doe --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
