Ann: NUH Appoints Industry Heavy-hitters to New Innovation Team, page-27

It is a pretty easy equation to understand. A company is not going to make significant hires unless they have very confidence in what coming up. Its exactly the same as a company announcing a maiden dividend. These a signals to the market that the company sees some great things coming down the pipeline. I am puzzled by some of the negative comments, they make no sense whatsoever., this focus on cost without looking at the other side of the equation is myopic and illustrates no business sense. Nor are exceptions a rule. When companies expand, make significant hires or announce dividends, these are all market signals of a bullish nature. Given the HP deal (which by the way is not even properly priced into the stock), rumours of other OEM's, the OTC stuff coming, the management would have far more visibility than the market and this announcement is confirmation of their bullish outlook. Why would one not hire these people.
