Feel free to start with insults. I've got an MBA and I've run a lemonade stand. What have you got? Some basic understanding of business. You don't even realize the article you linked was a negative assessment of the industry. I don't think you actually read the stuff you post. You certainly don't seem to understand what they are saying. You had the tax rebate thing totally wrong and now you are wrong about the thrust of the inventory article you linked. When some people screwed up and built more than they could sell that signals bad times are coming not good times. If the warehouse if full and nothing is moving, they shut down the line. Supply has exceeded demand. That should have been day one of your MBA school. Nope. You're just wrong. Let's take your implied insult about a lemonade stand. Do you think it would be a JIT business model? According to you, if someone drives up, I would immediately build the stand, grow the lemons, harvest the sugar, form the pitcher, glasses, and spoon (stirrer), then before they can actually drive away, post the sign with the price, make sure change is available, consider whether or not to accept foreign currency, be prepared to negotiate prices, etc., etc. I guess you missed this little item in the article: "Businesses restocking depleted store shelves has been a major driver of the economy since late last year and the strong gain seen in July should help alleviate fears that the country could be in danger of slipping into another recession." |
