They need $500 million to continue operations, in the mean while they're raiding the employee pension fund.

>>513168466 (OP)
Oh well

>>513168466 (OP)
The solution is simple, OF x50 and they will recoup the losses

>>513168466 (OP)
they tried to brand into all sorts of weird industries, I think they tried to copy that one japanese company that did it successfully, forgot the name, it was like something big in the 90s as well and got fucked by technology changes too. someone tell me the company goddamnit

Ezpz, sell the shit they sold before, to zoomer seeking nostalgia of a time they never experienced.

>>513168466 (OP)
Trump have them COVID money for some reason, should have just burned it.

Really? I thought Kodak was doing better since film photography is going under a bit of a revival, and I read that they had to hire more people to produce more film products like Ektachrome.

>>513168625
Cannon?

>>513168466 (OP)

They already went bankrupt in 2012 they restructured and sold their name to makers of poor quality products like alkaline batteries that leak so now the Kodak name represents garbage to consumers.

>they're raiding the employee pension fund.
Maybe instead of paying boomers the equivalent of $150,000 a year to unskilled laborers for 80 years wasn't great for business.

>>513168625
Fujifilm?

>>513168466 (OP)
pics ?

Generally after an older company goes through the grinder of technology changes, being raped by one corporate owner after another, etc., pretty much their only profitable asset is their name. That gets sold off as an asset; names like Zenith, Bell & Howell, Honeywell - look at all the cheesy consumer shit they've licensed their names to.

Jerry Yang (the Yahoo! guy) is pissed, he sank a fortune into Kodak to keep it afloat years ago.

I have some Kodak stock, what a SHIT move that was. But I'm keeping it until it hits zero.

>>513168887
I know but they have a good quality point-of-packaging printer. The best one going, they have plenty of commercial and industrial customers still. Government still buys film too. I figure the plan now is spin off the profitable stuff into a new brand and let Kodak keel over.

>>513168625
Nikkon?
They still make high quality optics.

>>513168466 (OP)
Kodak still exists? What do I short sell / buy to capitalize on this?

>>513168887
Kodak Black tarnished their good name with shitty rap music.
They'll never recover.
Shame

Konica minolta

And yet the stock has risen by 25% in the last year. Your inflation is so out of control.

>>513168632
hmmmm, not a bad idea. tell me more.

Pentax

>>513169278
They also still make print paper for photos. I imagine that's still profitable.

>>513169810
Yeah the problem is they have too many loans out, they have over a thousand creditors seeking major (read - a million or more) cash.

>>513168625
fujifulm, divested into a shitload of categories and scored a bunch of foreign contracts. a lot of korean companies do this nowadays too, like samsung is a huge healthcare provider or someshit

>>513169457
i literally thought this thread was about him

Film division must continue. My Hasselblad is hungry.

>>513168466 (OP)
KODACHROME

>>513168466 (OP)
a chinese hedge fund (with chinese government funds) will buy it and bring kodachrome back to life just to spite western business jews.

>>513169726
certain companies can do that which have high institutional investment controlling the stock
the market is rigged
simple as that

>>513170573
It's nice that film photography has gone under a revival. I wish Kodak would bring back Kodachrome, though.

They should've gone into satellite lenses

>>513170627
>>513170768
Have you ever looked into what’s involved in the K-14 process for developing Kodachrome? It’s a good read if you’re into technical things. At least I can process E-6 at home and it’s 80% as good as Kodachrome imho.

>>513170945
Difficult to beat Zeiss in the lens game.

That's kind of a shame. Aren't their technical papers what formed the basis for a lot of cinematography?

>>513170945
Leave that to Zeiss

>>513171209
>Have you ever looked into what’s involved in the K-14 process for developing Kodachrome?

Yes, I'm aware, it's quite involved. But damn it, it's worth it.

>>513168687
Instax and Polaroid are currently selling film. Kodak could too?

They sold their silver halide and chemical holdings to Sino Promise. Fuxk em

>>513171332
There are only four film companies still going. Agfa, one in eastern Europe somewhere - Czech Republic IIRC, Fuji, and Kodak. Everybody else just packages somebody else's film.

>>513168466 (OP)
Why would kike corpos have a hold on employees pension funds? Are burgers retarded?

>>513171545
because the corporation owns and manages the pension fund. that's how it works.

This is a very low res phone screenshot of a pic I took on the hassy with Kodak TMAX-100. Since this is /pol/ and all. Back in 2020 when the riots were about to start at the MN state capitol.

>>513171673
Nice.

>>513169728
They made a new 35mm film camera last year, if I recall.

>>513168466 (OP)
Good. Boomers shouldn't get pensions. I don't remember ever even hearing of a job that offered pensions and I entered the workforce a quarter century ago.

trump should sign an executive order that all movies have to be shot on film, digital looks like shit

>>513168466 (OP)

All they had to do was make digital versions of cameras like this, with a strong metal case.

>>513171847
This is true, films shot digitally look too "sterile" to me.

>>513171847
>digital looks like shit
Agreed.

It's their own fault. They were super early on digital cameras, then tossed it out the window for film. Then they tried several more times with various cameras dumping film. Then film makes a comeback for some hipsters and they are nowhere to be found. They can't stop losing.

white people don't know how to run businesses.

>>513169011
Ilford?

>>513169665
People are also dumping whatever money they can into the stock market right now in the hopes that they’ll get lucky. Our economy is a house of cards and the moment this bullshit AI bubble pops a lot of people will be left with nothing to show for it.

>>513170573
I knew someone with all this stuff and would develop my own photos from time to time. Fun hobby.
