Don, those that fail are those that fail to learn to be agile.

The FED is one best example. They failed to adjust interest rates to the economic environment last year and during this year.

Several years ago the inventory turn at most companies was around 4, company with 6 times inventory turn a year was a great company 15 years ago, now most companies work like grocers 12 to 15 times inventory turns a year.

as to profitability if once you made 5% on times inventory turns you make it up with 1.5% at 15 times inventory turns.

The issue is agility to adjust to competition and market place information moves faster but so is money it is all relative and if you are not on top of things you are prone to lose money.

The FED lost sight of the velocity the economy is moving and they should meet every 3 weeks not 6 and release critical statistics twice a month not monthly we live in different times - things are happening faster and humans are struggling to adapt to it.
