Carlton........................................... scotsman.com DVD technology can also be used for audio and personal computer use, and is forecast to become standard in personal computers with predictions of two billion DVD-ROMs in the US and Europe by 2003. Nimbus, once owned by Robert Maxwell, has the capacity to produce 28 million DVDs a year and Technicolor recently announced the trebling of its DVD capacity to 15 million units a year. Their combined capacity will propel Carlton to the forefront of global DVD production to build on its current market leadership in videocassettes.

>>Wouldn't this be a good time for CUBE to >>buy back 3-4 million shares? Yes and no. If things happen like the Rareness wishes, like China falling apart and being removed from the map, then that would be a bad move.<ggg> Odds are China won't devalue, since they already scared the hell outta the USA with just one comment hinting that they might have to since Uncle Sam wasn't helping the situation and is part to blame for this whole mess. Instantly, the Fed moved. (How many nukes do they have pointed at North America??) So, they too are hesitant just like the rest to take the plunge when things are not stable. My biggest fear is Japanese Banks starting a snow ball down the hill around the world...if that happens in won't matter much what stocks you own they'll all get a whoopin. Spending reserves now might also cost them an opp to purchase some smaller niche for their systems biz or chip function to integrate. >>What's it going to take? Watch the convt. bonds.... buying them back in the open market would kill two birds with one stone and signal they have faith. Well,.. actually three birds,,.. counting the Rare one.<lol>
