The big story is NOT Kodak's re-listing. It's Frank Romano wearing a tie!

An interesting take on Kodak - but one I don't think is shared by many, especially those who worked at the company. Here's a different view on the subject:

Gordon is absolutely correct, Kodak did have problems when Perez arrived but that is not the reason they went into bankruptcy. After he took over the company over invested in multiple programs that did not deliver. If they had focused on one until it was successful, they would have had the cash to survive.
