RE: inco earns .88, sherrit earns .87The market values inco's earnings higher because they are geographically diversified with the majority of their earnings coming from stable democratic locales. Sherrit's earning come from a third world, socialistic, back water that could face a revolution at any time. If Fidel was over thrown and cuba became democratic this wouldn't neccessarily be good news for sherrit. The new regime wouldn't forget that sherrit was in bed with a communist that tortured their families and stole their private property. Not to mention that sherrit would face claims by the rightful owners of their properties since those properties were expropratied by the communists without compensation. Nevertheless the stock looks higher, at least in the short term!!! imho
