1. Their revenue is quite stable but decreasing 2. Their EBIT is positive and increasing 3. Their operating cashflow is negative but increasing 4. So they seem to be running out of cash... 5. They cannot lend more with such bad terms eg. 12% interests.

It's actually a really great turnaround story by Nokia. They sold their sinking mobile phone hardware part of the company to Microsoft. They kept their part of the Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and the Nokia Research Center (now Nokia Technologies), which owns all the patents and licenses Nokia has ever developed. They also sold their HERE maps unit to car makers. During all this Nokia bought Siemens share of the NSN and this formed the basis to the new Nokia. Then they bought french networking equipment company Alcatel-Lucent. Now Nokia is one of the worlds largest telecommunications and networking equipment manufacturer along Huawei and Ericsson. Previously Nokia was one of the world largest brands and consumer electronics company.

In my country (Finland), government actually pays for studying and universities are free. My experience studying abroad is that actually the curriculum and studying is mostly the same all over the world. I think there might some outliers in the TOP10 universities in the world, but the major differences are in the student population, connections and reputation. I think only maybe 10-20% study really hard anyways. At that point in life most people would have more than 100 usable hours easily, but most of the students do minimal work necessary and do something else.

Personally I just like the extra space. I think it's really for everyones convenience not to recline before most of the people are sleeping in the plane. What if some one has to get out of the window seat? What if food is served? What if person wants to use laptop or read? Reclined seats are always on the way.

I think this is mostly undervaluation of Ford. 45B$ marketcap is quite low for that kind of revenue, profits and assets. I mean 12B$ in free cash flow! How do analyst even evaluate car companies?

Could it be some kind of IR reflection of the helicopter itself due to the structure of the clouds? It would seem logical if there was no radar signal, it was on a linear path with the helicopter and did not show on normal camera. Any opinions?
