Some speculation surrounding Kodak (nothing firm)

[aldevo]

I wouldn't count on that. The FTC would probably consider it a monopoly and forbid it. From a regulator's point of view it is better that both companies starve and leave us no choice than that one company leave us one choice.

I don't think the FDC would really care about this one way or another. It's a niche market and while it is a market that is dear to us, it is not going to affect the lives of most. It won't even be a blip.

It's wishful thinking that Ilford would buy Kodak's film division. Kodak's production infrastructure is now far too large (again) and Ilford itself has too much capacity.

From Ilford's point-of-view it would be best that EK's pictorial film division shut down operations entirely.

No one is going to buy just the film division to shut it down.

We saw that in Germany not that long ago.
(Or at least something that looks that way...)

Stock prices are the same with film prices , film prices are going higher , stock prices are going lower.
What is the best investment ? I think They must make a film fresh until 2030.

Aaarrrrghhh!

I clicked somewhere and was taken to a page plastered with "SO KODAK"!

I didn't mean to. It just sorta happened.

I don't feel so good.

The content of that link is restricted to members of that site, perhaps you could sum it up, in case it is of interest. You yourself seem not so shure about that...

[brian d]

Did you read the comment's under the commercial garbage ?

[Chris Nielsen]

I'm not on Facebook, any chance of copying and pasting those comments in here so non-FB people like myself can read them?

Cheers

and the reply;

<<Kodak Hey Brian- No Kodak is not dumping the Film division. As long as customers continue to buy our film, we'll continue to make it.>>
