Why don't you just acknowledge you were wrong instead of deflecting the discussion to which boards I post on? Who really cares? Bux

Ha ha ha! Bux can't even find the Neopoint prospectus at the SEC site on his own. How can he ever be wrong? For Bux, being right or wrong is not even important. He just wants to turn this board into a boring but sincere contest of will: either he is the asshole or the rest of us are the assholes! The bigger question is how a smarter guy like Molloy, who doesn't even know how to read the notes on a financial statement, always end up consistently on that side of that contest regarding a stock like IDC which is obviously a turnaround story and not an earnings story just yet. % of R&D or Product Development to Total Sales: Year Sales R&D 1995 $ 85.0 $ 9.7 11% 1996 53.7 21.6 40% 1997 43.9 24.0 55% 1998 99.2 17.2 17% 1999 61.4 12.2 20% (9 mos) It's fair to say that at IDC, cash is burning in the right area and with the right partner. Meet Nokia and its strangely mathematical form and function rhythms. Nokia extended its lead as the world's biggest cellular phone maker, boosting global market share to 26.9 percent last year from 22.5 percent in 1998, Dataquest said. Nokia's gains came at the expense of its biggest rivals, Motorola Inc. and Ericsson AB, which held on to the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively. Motorola's share slipped to 16.9 percent from 19.5 percent, while Ericsson's fell to 10.5 percent from 15.1 percent. Finland's Nokia extended its lead by beating competitors to market with new models and with its extensive distribution channels, Dataquest said. It sold 76 million of the total 284 million phones sold in 1999. The market is expected to pass 410 million units in 2000, Dataquest said. Message 12833710 What's the average age in Nokia? The average age is 32 years. Last year we added 12,000 people on top of the 44,000 people and if you add people in age of 21 to 28, the average age remains low and this is essential in a business that changes very fast.
