You know I lost my last job for the same reason I get folks here upset, my inability to take historical static data and make incorrect future projections in a dynamic market. Things constantly change.

Our salesmen wanted to shove future contracts based on historical purchases onto our major customer, and I refused to go along. The customer purchased over $200M of product, of which they used $50M and wrote off $150M

About a month later I was "laid off", but I left with my personal integrity. Unfortunately, I lost my options on 20,000 shares that eventually were worth almost $1M - should have sold my soul to the devil like everyone else !
