It would be a cause of concern if they had reduced revenues due to poor strategy. Hedging? Thats excusable

Hedging is also a financial strategy

Gulp! The good news... Puma is still in the game!
I had expected breakeven (zero profit) to a modest loss. This has thrown me off.

As Warren Buffett says, derivatives are weapons of mass destruction. The only beneficiaries are the banks. I wonder who KK hedged with?

Most companies would be better off without trying to hedge and just embrace the currency risk!

Whichever way you look at it a huge amount of shareholder wealth has been scraped off the books of KK due to hedging experiments!

Puma can even offer below 15bob now!!

I now have a rough idea of how companies collapse.

It can be very bad if afew guys team up to create some figures so as to throw out panic and buy cheap.
