Arthur: Why is it the companies that you apparently pioneered your "Stock Investment by management consulting methods" have continually gone downwards - even after your supposed brilliant thinking? > You are no businessman, so you use stupid analysis to > write stuff that you think can run companies. At least I base my arguments on some semblance on facts as opposed to sheer fantasy. > Consultants work on text book expertise, not personal > wishful thinking. Hmmm... and you want FTL to start selling bikinis as a panacea to their problems? I'm not sure you realize what a joke that is. > Your writing is poor, but you are too stupid to know. If that's meant as an insult coming from you, you'll have to try harder - perhaps some english and grammar lessons would help you to communicate your point across. > Consultants work on text book expertise, not personal > wishful thinking. For most consultants they are one and the same thing. Are you too dumb to realize that you can find enough books by consultants that contradict themselves? > Where is your textbook for business management? They > don't have business management books in your bank? Apparently, you don't need to read to be a consultant either. Your commentary is flawed and your views on overall business are not new nor innovative. In the realm of management thinking, your shallow thoughts that you parry off as being deep have been developed considerably more than your imagination possibly allows. Try reading an income statement sometime. There is something called the revenue line that you are apparently quite familiar with. Profits = Revenues - Expenses. They have an expense problem given that they have not been able to compete. They have, however, been working at that -- and because they sold or closed money losing businesses, their losses have narrowed. This obviously comes to a newsflash to both you and your clients, but sometimes to make more money, (which means to make more profits) sometimes you have to stop selling certain lines - yes indeed, some customers are more expensive to maintain than others.
