Might be time for me to finally buy some Canon stock.

Though nikon are out selling them in the SLR market & Nokia are outselling everyone in terms of cameras

I'd be interested to see what happens to Canon stock after PMA.

Very little, camera's are not Canon's core business. Good money but not serious money. Consider business scanners and copiers, a single DR-7090 middle range scanner will sell for as much as a 1DsMkII. You can bet far more of them will sell in a week than 1Ds's in a month. All photo products are only 23.4% of their gross. Copiers are 30.7% and scanners and printers are 33.2%.

You can learn a lot from Corporate reports.

heh... and i got my 1099 from canon this week...

does that make me an employee?

last time i watched the stock pre-PMA was a year or so ago.. was a hair over $50, and shot up after the PMA announcements and went back down again shortly after...
