Zeev, OT People invest in KO despite the act that their lacing of their soft drinks with phosphoric acid is probably a major contribution to osteoporosis. Any evidence for this? Hydroxy-apatite (hydrated calcium phosphate which is the major mineral component of bone) is insoluble, so this surprises me a little. Damage to tooth enamel at low pH I can understand, but not bone demineralisation. John

Zeev to NightOwl: <. I am sure you have no objection investing in McDonald's who's killing fields in the US, and soon abroad, are probably 10 times as big (20 times as many people die every year from obesity related ailment then smoking, and those fatty hamburgers are not a small contributor).> Kudos^2!

Dear Mr Zeev, For you, the defender of Infineon, a descendent of the "morally clean" Siemens, to come up here on "high moral grounds", is travesty to the concept of morality. Stop while you are ahead, your arguments are vacuous and not worth rational deliberations. A simple "no" would have sufficed. Instead I get a lecture on the uselessness of the notion of "moral hazard" in investing; a criticism of some presumed "defense" of IFX/Siemens [ed., Where did that come from? Transference?]; and a rousing flame of the very notion that I am capable of discussing such issues. <Ho Ha 8-> As much as it may "pain" me [ed., or you] to confess this, I suspect we are more alike than dislike. But don't trouble yourself with this "vacuous" musing.<vbg> I am sure I would be hard pressed to prove it to you. ...Unless, of course, you are The One in which case it would hardly be necessary.<G> I see your remonstrations of my infantile questions have garnered 3 replies. ...I can hardly wait to "harvest" this bountiful crop of Holiday Irony.<Ha Ha Hooo 8-> 0\|0 P.S. Thanks for the introduction to "deridation" I promise to use it early and often. 8->
