Barry - that is something symptomatic of why so many publicly-traded companies are
failing nowadays. They can't just reach equilibrium and make profit like a sensible
private company does (like the corporation I work for). They have to fluff their fur and
look bigger and bigger to attract stock market attention, even if it is potentially counterproductive. Get their feet into way too many things at once. Run on a bluff
and hope it pans out before bankruptcy pans out. There is money to be made on film,
but color film in particular does need the support of heavy R&D backing. If either Kodak
or Fuji buckle, their role will be hard to replace.
