There was some discussion recently about the business side of Porsche. I just ran across this and thought someone might be interested:
"Porsche, which is not listed on the Dax index, earned more money trading derivatives than from selling cars in its fiscal year that ended July 31. Stock-option transactions contributed a pretax of 3.59 billion euros to the group's results. Total net profit came to 4.242 billion euros, more than three times the result of 1.393 billion one year earlier, as cited by AFP." http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2987214,00.html -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics." -Benjamin Disraeli and/or Mark Twain '90 300D, '87 300SDL, '81 240D, '78 450SLC, '97 Ply Grand Voyager _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
