Hi DAK, <<what good is productivity without profits???>>

Be gentle.

'Productivity without profits' was good for impressing the impressionable segment of international investors, until they discovered that they can have 'no productivity without profit' without leaving home and avoid suffering currency risks:0)

Chugs, Jay
