I think Karma is a company they picked up somewhere, maybe in
India? :) I really don't know.

about your economic question, the basic assumption is the
relative buying power here in the U.S. is going up. so
far, I think that's true as well in most of the countries
that CHSE is doing business in.

it's not a given that buying power in any particular country
is going to keep pace. The austerity program in Brazil is
good because it will keep up the level of foreign investment,
but it will do so at a cost to local people in the form of
taxes and interest rates. I think it's a lesser of evils,
but it keeps the ball rolling. things have to get a lot
worse before CHSE is in real trouble, but then things have
to get a lot better before it can sustain a PE of 25ish again,
IMO.

don't know what's going to happen to the margins for CHSE.
they've made the bet that by sticking with the best products
from the best companies, compaq et al., they will have the
best margins and the best sellthroughs. seems like a good
bet to me.

but again the bottom line is buying power and cash flow in
the countries in question. so far so good eh?
