That means they think more will be needed to avoid implosion. PCSTEL, it is NOT too late to save it. Alan Green$pan will not only save it, but he is going to transfer great wealth to me. That's my theory anyway. He will do that because I believed in him and figured out what he would do. So, despite the stockmarket roaring away, he will keep cutting to avoid a recession and a deflationary spiral. That's my theory and I am all set! I hope he doesn't disappoint me. While economies of scale will worsen with production reduction, I doubt we'll see a reduction in production and the deflationary New Paradigm effects will far outweigh any tiny economies-of-scale effects if production does actually fall. Technology productivity is growing huge leaps and bounds. Look at the productivity of CDMA compared with analogue phones, as just one example. Look at radioOne compared with SAWS filters. [Ooops, I mistakenly called it RadioNet in a previous post I recall now - like Windstar!!] Look at gpsOne compared with lost and dead. These are huge productivity gains. Economies of scale are still significant, but nothing compared with The New Paradigm. A radioOne production economies of scale won't make much difference to what QUALCOMM charges for it. Economies of scale apply more to engineered goods weighing kilograms or tonnes than to cloned software, where economies of scale are bordering on trivial. <PS: Fun in the markets again today. Down 7% is a decent drop. Alan Green$pan will be getting itchy on the trigger finger. He knows a huge deflation is on the way and he will NOT want to preside over the biggest implosion in financial history. Oil is coming down fast; the Arabs have figured out that expensive crude oil cuts their market share too much and stops people using it. 2001 is going to be a LOT of fun after the Y2K glitches and bugs in the markets and .com world. Nasdaq at half price and falling. Dow stalled for going on three years. Alan will have to cut interest rates in a big way and although that will cause a huge market rise, he won't worry about it because it won't be a 'wealth effect' rise as happened over the past few years when spending went berserk and debt levels grew enormously. People will be more circumspect about margin debt after a general wreckage this year. I've waited for a long time for this, so I hope I'm not disappointed. A shame Globalstar hasn't complied with "The Plan" which I've had. Bernie's "Plan" superseded mine. Dow 16,000 Feb 2002 > Run the presses Alan! Slash the interest rates. Save the world. Mqurice
