You have stated the secret behind what makes a brand.

No one else on this thread ever could get to that. And now we have the latest clown coming on here claiming the way to success is "damn the torpedos, full speed ahead". This is the short-sighted expediency that sinks any company. A company scrambles for share and ends up with large shares of cost, and brand is sacrificed. Not that ATHM cares since they have become chameleon of image. They'll be anything you want them to be as long it is nothing. What else can one expects from a brand like, "Excide - Cheato"? Besides, the big brand exponent is now short the brand.

On this thread the short term result has always been extolled. Whether that was anti-OA anti-Pure, anti-facilitation, pro-Excide to fend off the non-existent competition from AOL, or pro-Att to pump up the stock, it has presaged disaster. The thread couldn't care less about the company. The company doesn't make the stock go they think. Instead, they think it takes touts and tips from experts and analysts, but as usual, all the king's horses couldn't make the stock go.

This thread mimics the behavior of company management which is a rolling disaster careering out of control from one desperate failure to the next. At the end of this Mad Hatter's wild ride is the Queen of Spades and her ax man, CMA.
