Thank you Fengzi. As I was telling Dr. Hashman, it is much easier for me to understand your point of view if I know the background.

BTW, I finally got accurate figures on my fiance's company. I was looking in the wrong place, so I asked him about it today.

Revenue of 4.2 billion for 4th quarter fy06. (I knew there was a 2 and a 4 involved. )
Operating profit of 326 million.

Looking over your post, it seems to me that you are coming from your viewpoint as personally as I am coming from mine. People that are very dear to each of us are affected in different ways by outsourcing, to the good on your end, to the negative on my end.

Sorry about your stock losses. My mom lost a bunch of her retirement fund one year, when she was only 3 years from retirement and didn't know if she'd be able to recoup a loss that large. That is not a good feeling.
