Thanks, John. Seems more and more to me the larger market can bring you an influx cash, but if you want stability you have to do quality. Even McDonalds is learning that... maybe. When it comes down to it, you business depends on whether your cusotomers come back. If they don't love you, competition can cream you. Something I got from the Tactic7 calls was how much people want attention, caring. Regards, Chad Very interesting. Thanks, John.

Warren Buffett must have been smiling. "There’s so much product tie-in..." How many were there? Pontiac was one. (And that loser complaining about how there wasn't enough 'Pontiac signage'...and yet they sold more in terms of $ at the concert auction than at the rink concert. Pft.) Who else did they tie in products for? Anyone? Did anyone else notice when Lee, before the cut to the ice rink said to Mr. Trump:
