re: Remember it is not the 90% of the business sales that makes any difference. It is the last 10% that is the difference between profit and loss. All the rest is fixed costs like payrolls, rents/leases/buybacks, and overhead expenses.

Where do you get this data? I spent almost 20 yrs. marketing processors and this is totally foreign to me.

Common Sense, It is too optimistic to believe that...

Given the tone of your post, people holding up signs saying "The End Is Near" are too optimistic ...

CS, Re: And it takes so little to upset this balancing act. Just a bad weather week can stop everything. Just a quick 9/11/2001 can turn the nation's focus elsewhere. Floods, hurrricane, national disasters. Or possibly a ride across the desserts of Iran on the back of a Humvee as we approach Teheran in another war televised....

If that's what's bothering you, then you can sit on the sidelines and wait for the time when the world is perfect, and no wars, killings, or disasters will happen to affect your stock price. I have a feeling you'll be waiting for quite a while, however.
