So, I guess the question is just how many people will fall into this credit risk abyss, and how will this play on the overall economy??? Good question William... Tough economic times can make even good managers seem like bad managers as their businesses falter... Companies like CSCO and EMC, which were considered well managed, don't look so well managed when their sales and profits drop... But, it's these same people that led the pack before, who will position themselves for the next upturn in the economy... The key here will be relative performance... How do they run their companies during tough times... Cash flow statements and stock charts should give us an idea of the more successful management teams on a relative basis... Discontinuing unprofitable businesses is a necessary response during weak or strong economic times... So, the yardstick for comparing mgmt competency across companies, at this time, is relative performance... Jim
