Vlad: <<I learned that it doesn't matter how good a product is even in the light of competition. If you don't know how to sell your product then nothing else really matters. >> By VLAD, you got it! Great or good products + poor management = poor sales History has recorded hundreds of similar marketing cases that support this formula including; Evista, Betamax and the MAC computer (still claimed better than the PC by almost all of its owners!). Under different management and marketing strategies, these products probably would have been much more viable and successful ie; the radio in face of competition from television. Best of luck with your investments! BigKNY3
