The day-early newsletter shipment was prompted by the upcoming July 4 weekend. Hoping you all enjoy a good loud nation's Independence Day. Bob Scott's Insights newsletter is published 48 times a year and July 10 will not be one of them. I will be in Berlin until July 12 with my wife who is on a seven-week gig with Bayer. Are the Germans noted for their accounting prowess? Oh yeah, there is this big software company over there I've heard of. News will continue to be posted on the website as circumstances dictate and hopefully they will not dictate much. We might stay up to watch the World Cup final--apparently 2 a.m. Berlin time.
