Explain the fallacy in that. Where's the mistake in that?

I've already attempted to explain how margins come to play. Sell less and the same margin, that equates to less income. Factors like people they employ come into play, so they released 10k employees to make up the difference.

Today, they released another 4k and stopped manufacturing in Europe and Latin America to keep up their margins.

And they're still selling less. How else will they raise their margins? They're paying 14k less people, manufacturing in less places; then what?

You've somehow gotten yourself into a conversation about how you're right without really proving anything. So where is the mistake?

Nokia sells less. Fact.
Nokia makes less. Fact.
Nokia has released 14k employees to save money. Fact.
Nokia's stock is less now, thus they're valued less. Fact.
Nokia isn't as profitable now as they were in 2007. Fact.
Nokia is looking at new ways to keep their margins intact. Fact.

That's all I've said ad nauseum. So please be a dear and correct me where I'm wrong.
no their not, that is the case only if the market is not growing(and it was growing at an extreme rate for the last few years), you obviously dont know even the simple 2nd grade math or you wouldnt say something like this

even thou the market share was gowing down the NUMBER OF DEVICES SOLD PER Q. WAS GOING UP is this so hard to understand?
