Pravin, agree with your NSM assessment. Other than one day (yesterday), its held above its 50 and 200 day moving average. Also, the loss was not as large as anticipated.

RE: Capital spending may offset NSM earnings for several quarters

Capital equipment spending is not normally expensable beyond a few grand, so regardless of how much NSM spends in equipping Portland it will only permit a minor (depreciation) expense deduction from earnings. This is probably rapidly depreciable equipment, so it might be a max of 10 per cent of total cost (part-year usage).
