Re: Stanley buys Black & Decker
Just because the OP predicts a cut doesn't mean he is even remotely correct...
It is silly to continue this forecasting. |

said by Pacrat :I've seen Black&Decker coffee makers on the shelves for years. Yep. We had a B&D coffee maker for over ten years before the pump finally died. Bought a new B&D coffee maker to replace it. Works fine, coffee is good, I'm happy. Whoever makes it.

| good thing they both laid of thousands of people they could not "afford" to spend money on only to have billions to buy another company to lay off even more people.
you know the people who buy your products...
these companies sitting on billions don't understand how layoffs are going to come back and kick them in the %#$ later on....
they say for every 1 lay off at a company it causes a ripple that will cause a mirror lay off at another company.
sigh. i miss the days where having a few bad years was not a bad thing in a rebound/recession. |
