RE: Trading in €uros ?

[steve]

It's much more complex than that. We will quote in USD. We buy components  in other currencies,  so as currency
changes, the value of what we hold changes as a function of currency fluctuations. At this stage of the game, the currency we quote
in is a minor issue. That said , the dollar sucks. Somebody has to.

No matter how is the $, I think FIC is thinking in $, not un €, so if the $ falls, it's good for us, and nothing change for FIC regardly the $ previsions... I guess

The figure in USD is as innacurate as anything else. You're not
actually paying $399 USD, you're paying the number of New Taiwan
Dollars that can be exchanged for $399 USD.

Rebasing the price in ANY currency means absolutely nothing since
(assuming you aren't paying exchange premiums) it's the same price. Of
course, they could say 399 Euros, in which case it would be getting
more expensive for EVERYONE.
