HOw wise is it to create a business when the retail coffee market is tanking. take Starbucks. the just layed off 12,000 jobs and closed 600 stores. Their stock cost ~$40 per share in mid 2006 now trading at $15.62 Look at the trend at the link below. Its been a down hill slide since mid 2006. Now why would any one want to go into a business that depends on people paying 5 ****ing bucks for a coffee? http://search.us.reuters.com/rsearch...srch-top-quote It dont take a university professor with three degrees, a license, and a rating to figure out maybe standing on a street corner trying to sell coffee beans is not such a great idea............... Oh, but I forgot. The owner and operator of Red Clown was a ignorant coonass GOM brown water boat driver. I appologize for the redundant descriptors. We must be kinder to those less fortunate, a 10 grade education, and a dedicated seat on short bus to coonass success... Bob PS Fred once again thank you for reading my post. I take that as a true compliment. XOXOXO |
