Thom,

Sorry, but I'm totally confused by your answer. What does a brother-in-law
have to do with it? The story was about my father-in-law and his brothers.
And nobody was involved in selling stock. These were private businesses. As
a result, I can't make head nor tale of your message.

Dave, Your story just about answers my opinion in the affirmative.

I would with out a doubt want your brother-in-law. They looked after the
product First. The product that the market wanted. Rather like Henry
Ford or Hersey. If you go back and read my post, I said; "Looked after
Both"

That is what your brother-in-law has done. By looking at the market AND
his product he made a lot of money. He/they were looking to sell Stock.
They were looking to sell product.

Thank you for the story. A very good example of what I was saying.

:^) As a lawyer, I thought you were taught to not ask a question if you
weren't sure of the answer (G)
