I've been on the road the last week, down to KC and back. Along the way I've been tracking the developing Olympus story and wondering if the Pentax acquisition was seen by top management as another opportunity for cooking the books.

The first two quotes below are from the Wall Street Journal, Nov 8 and 9; the 2nd two are from the New York Times, Nov 8 and/or 9:
. . . 92-year-old maker of cameras and endoscopes, . . . . . . maker of cameras and medical-imaging equipment . . . . . . main line of business of producing cameras and other electronics. . . . . . a multibillion-dollar global business making digital cameras and medical equipment, . . . stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
