Scandale financier Olympus : fil de synthèse

[Goblin]

Matin !!! Mais alors - on m'aurait menti ?!? Les Japonais sont donc capables de demander des comptes aux coupables et de commencer a nettoyer sans Woodford ?

Mazette !!! Quelle déception...

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Une Woodfordouille vit un Ghosn

Qui lui sembla de belle taille.

Elle, qui était maline en tout moins qu'un plomb,

Envieuse, s'étend, et s'enfle, et se travaille,

Pour égaler le Patron en grandeur.

Disant : " Regardez bien mon Sieur;

Est-ce assez ? dites-moi; n'y suis-je point encore ?

Nenni. - M'y voici donc ? - Point du tout.

M'y voilà ?

Vous n'en approchez point "

La chétive pécore.

S'enfla

Si bien qu'elle creva.

Le monde est plein de patrons qui ne sont pas plus sages:
Tout Woodford veut diriger comme les grands seigneurs,
Tout petit prince a des ambassadeurs,
Tout marquis veut avoir des pages...

Merci Goblin car je n'aurais pas eu ton incontestable talent.

Ce La Fontaine alors, toujours autant d'actualité!

Samsung may consider alliance with Olympus

South Korea's Samsung Electronics is open to forging an alliance with Japan's troubled Olympus Corp, potentially joining other electronics firms in circling one of the world's biggest names in medical equipment, sources said.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/12/us-olympus-idUSTRE80A2EC20120112

mais pour la partie médicale : "Samsung has ruled out any interest in Olympus' loss-making camera business, but a company source said on Thursday that it might consider an alliance with Olympus in other areas."

TPG willing to invest $1 billion in Olympus

Private equity firm TPG Capital is willing to invest about $1 billion in Japan's Olympus Corp in a joint deal with Sony Corp or another suitor circling the scandal-hit firm, a person familiar with TPG's thinking said.

Si l'on résume, Samsung veut investir, mais seulement dans les divisions rentables. Dans ce cas, je ne vois pas un bel avenir pour département photo. D'un autre côté, le groupe TPG Capital veut également investir et regarde la possibilité d'une alliance avec des concurrents. Là également l'avenir d'Olympus demeure incertain dans le domaine des appareils photo. Cependant, il pourrait y avoir un avantage. Par exemple, un partenariat Olympus - Canon. Il ne faut pas oublier que ces derniers viennent de nous sortir un capteur en format 4/3. Bref, on nage encore en plein mystère et rien n'est encore définitif.

The Nikkei: Sony Interested In Buying A 20%-30% Stake In Olympus

More news on the Sony-Olympus alliance that's supposed to be announced soon: Japan's biggest business daily The Nikkei is reporting today that big S is interested in purchasing a stake as large as "20%-30%" in its potential, scandal-hit partner (that would be up from the 0.03% Sony currently owns).

The capital and business alliance would be mainly aimed at bringing together Sony's strength in imaging sensor technology with Olympus' expertise in endoscopes and other medical equipment.

According to the Nikkei, Sony plans to expand investments in the health care field, as the company has been reporting weak financial numbers for their core consumer electronics business for quite a while now.

The paper also says it learned that Fujifilm and medical equipment maker Terumo are two other companies interested in Olympus.

Je pense qu'on a raté la petite nouvelle qu'en ce qui concerne le maintien de ses actions en Bourse, Olympus s'en tire a très, très bon compte. Alors qu'on craignait une radiation, ils s'en sont tirés avec une amende de 127000$, une broutille comparé a ce que présageaient certains analystes.
