On EK. Maybe yes (a bad business), maybe no. Sales have been flat over the past few years, there's been increasing debt, management turmoil, intense competition (Fuji and digital), and best stock price certainly does seem behind it. OTOH, EK is doing $14 Billion in annual sales - so a lot of people are buying stuff from them still. And EK remains profitable.

One positive buying signal - for me anyway - is that my pride/shame ratio is low. Lot of embarrassment (shame) for anybody who steps up now and says they're a buyer of EK. That is my feeling anyway -- garnered from other SI threads, conversations w/friends, reading business articles, etc.

Not that my pride/shame ratio is an infallible buying indicator.

who had a low pride/shame ratio with JC Penney at 35 and 16.
