There is nothing new for me in your last post.

The big CE companies in USA could have stayed in the CE market, just
the companies in Europe did. Perhaps Europe were more clever?

Look at Europes trade balance versus USA ?

The japanese produced TVs in Europe for many more years, using local parts. So did Philips, Thomson and Grundig.
And Bang&Olufsen still produce in Europe.

In Europe quality is still king, just look at Audi, Porche, Mercedes, BMW.

Look at French and Italien fashion clothes, womens handbags, food and wine.
People all over the world prefer to buy it because it is expensive.
Even in China :-)

The big USA manufacturers do not seem understand the concept of quality and a higher price as a positive sales argument.

Your own growth is caused by high price, elegant design and quality.
Very much like an European car.

If you tried to go low price, you would fail fast.

GamuT had the best sales ever in July 2003, just when I decided to sell the company. SACD never hurt GamuT.

I sold to end a 14 year long battle with our governement over an illegal act done by the government in 1989. The European court ruled in my and many others favour, but we never got our money back from the Danish government, because the total amount was 7 billion USD, or 5% of Denmarks GNP at that time !

I do not buy Microsoft products, unless I have to. My father developed the largest computer software on punchcards in his time.
Good software keep on being used, remember year 2000?
To sell new "improved software", you have to make bad software :-)

I placed my money in Apple stock, I did very nicely !
