I believe the whole Asian crisis may have positive implications for SFSK's earnings. They do quite a bit of manufacturing in Malaysia and other Asian countries. The devaluation of those currencies may show up in SFSK's earnings later this month.

great post. she sounds thoroughly knowledgeable on the industry and competition. but all that allergic-reaction talk makes me itchy. so far we're up to 87 product liability suits (against safeskin and other latex glove manufacturers). that's 32 more than stated in last year's annual report. does this spook anyone?

maybe not. on a 200-dow day, me thinks it's already factored into the price. or they're full-body rubberized in liability insurance.
