Send me a PM giving me a time and location in Toronto (not during the peak of earnings season); and I'd be happy to repeat anything to your face. You're the most pessimistic poster I've seen recently. You take irrelevant little tid bits and blow them out of all proportion. You take positive, ordinary, ongoing, normal business occurrences and like, Chicken Little, see the end of the world. Most companies have an attrition rate ranging from as little as 4% to over 10% annually. Job losses are a normal business occurrence. In fact, some parts of the BCE family have a "Fire 10% of the sales force" annually policy. i.e. - even if all targets are met, the bottom 10% get to provide their skills and services elsewhere. Seeing job losses is not a sign of a sick company. Rather it is more likely to be a sign of a company continuing to reinvent itself. As is, and, has been, the case for NT. I don't know whether you're just a permanently depressive; or if you're full of shit. But your posts have contributed no value whatsoever on this thread. And I have no intention whatsoever of dropping dead any time soon. re: Ian, You are a measly little coward who stands behind anonymity. You wouldn't dare say that to my face.....when you are not playing with yourself, you spout dribble....consider yourself ignored.... drop dead
