The margins aren't actually thin at all. The ThinPhone is thin and that's about all Maurice, I have been reading posts and getting feedback that says this division is running on a 3% to 4% margin, which is terrible for a Gorilla. I think a lot of us Gorilla Investors look at Cisco, Msft, and Intel and see companies that provide the "guts" and stay out of the end product, like this type of profit structure, and see this as the best way for Q to make money. I can see the initial reason for being in the end product for Q, they had to get it off the ground. I would like to see them out of it now, or just doing high end, high profit manufacturing of end products. If they are going to keep the present plant, figure out how to make a better buck at it. I own and run a nice little home improvement company. I really don't want to expand it. When my sales start to approach capacity, I raise prices to slow them down. This is really a no-brainer.
