Can't wait for the rumors to start surfacing...

New technology is on the way, but what will the state of healthcare do to the willingness of facilities and physicians to make a large capital purchase?

Olympus is banking on maintaining market share with its equipment, and growing its share of the device market.

In other news - wonder what the demotion of Woodford brings to the table?

What you don't seem to realize is after all the bad blood out their towards your little nip leaders, any new technology out there by you is dead in the water. Many who have left are now in a position to hurt you!

What you don't seem to realize, is that Olympus has won for years in spite of itself... the product is that good. You know why you see so little of the competition's product out there? It's crap! The current situation is not good, but once again, the quality wins out. Physicians know it, the Hospitals know it, and when they try something else, they end up coming back. Its crazy, but its true.

The only way those who were LET GO (not left...) will hurt Olympus, is if they go to a third party company and find enough 180HD equipment to sell to the market. Guess what, there isn't any around, because people don't want to give it up!

I'm not a coolaid drinker, but I know this much is true!
 












Clayton, I always wondered how a little weasel such as yourself got into management. I read through your BS a mile away! Real nice reputation for your employer too!

New Inquiry At Brand Tarnished Olympus Shares Down 50%
By David Richards | Sunday | 23/10/2011
Its shares are in a slump, and their brand appears tarnished after damming allegations by the Companies former CEO, now Japanese camera Company Olympus has agreed to a new inquiry into allegations over secret fees in an effort to stop the slump that has seen traders dive in and buy shares in the struggling Company.
After bowing to pressure from shareholders Olympus directors have said that they will set up a third-party committee to investigate controversial past acquisitions that are at the centre of the intensifying scandal.

Olympus has lost half of its market value since Michael C. Woodford was fired as president on Oct. 14 after calling for a probe of $687 million in payments during a $2 billion takeover in 2008.

It's also been revealed that a record number of shares in Olympus are being bought and sold through Japanese margin-trading accounts as investors seek to capitalise on the scandal. Investors see this as a rare opportunity to gain big profits in the short term," said Kenichi Hirano, a general manager and strategist at Tachibana Securities Co. in Tokyo. "The volatility of Olympus is rising and the share price is likely to swing wildly in both directions."

Also at issue is the attitude of Japanese Companies like Olympus to Company governance. The Tokyo Stock Exchange demanded on Friday that Olympus disclose more information about the deals and said it was ready to intervene again if the material did not sufficiently allay investor fears, making it difficult to trade the stock.

Nippon Life, the Japanese insurer that holds an 8.26 per cent stake, Southeastern Asset, a US fund with a 5 per cent stake, and Harris Associates, have been vocal in their demands for an explanation. Both US funds wrote to Olympus pushing for an independent inquiry.

Michael Woodford, its sacked chief executive, believes that the deals have cost the company more than $1.3bn. Mr Woodford says he was fired because he threatened to expose these payments.

Olympus had very few details on the committee it is setting up, saying only that it would be made up of lawyers and accountants.

The product used to be that good and still is a great product, but there are acceptable alternatives as the other two competitors seem to be picking up more and more customers and keeping them. Accounts seem to be much more accepting of a few differences in order to gain a much more service oriented company, not all the competition is crap.

Just an observation...
