The same ones who said "no way ever" when in 3rd qtr 05 I said recession begins first quarter 08. This incudes PHD's in economics (what did they learn?), they all said I had no clue what I was talkin about. I closed ALL brick & mortar storefronts at the end of 05 due to this and was called a wack job by my buds (both republican & democrats). Business has been going solidly since (gee! look beyond the tip of you nose and see the obvious!). I'll stick to distributor level manufacturing globally and let someone else sweat the storefronts.
