Becuase like the automobile industry...
If you sit on your laurels and current product lines and think that they will always be what is needed and wanted in the market, you will start to go by the way of GM and Ford.
Everyone USED to bash the Japanese suto makers for 'cheap, small' cars that no self-respecting American would ever buy.
Do you notice that the commercials DONT promote buy american anymore? People spent 20 years beleiving that drivel and got tired of American companies... 'expensive, big' cars that broke down all the time.
You have to keep improving and showing potential for growth and also move with the industries you support. That is why XLPI is making inroads into China and Asia, while the Big 3 keep moving their factories into Mexico and elsewhere.
