I was really amazed in CC to hear that NN has lots of spare R&D resources floating around that they can re-assign to the products that must be released. What were all these people doing? Most companies can't find the R&D resources they need just to get the products out that make the earnings each quarter. NN must be like a country club! Also, that NN manufactures stuff itself. Why? How can they possibly even imagine they can be any where near as cost effective as the professional manufactures that people like CSCO outsource to? This company is a complete mess. Hopefully the new guy from Ireland is authorized to make ALL decisions, and the TM character is out of the picture. I really don't get the impression that they are in any way interested in selling. Did anyone who heard the CC get the opposite impression? I also don't see why the next couple of quarters will be any better on the top line.
