Legal Ways to Take HHI towards Ten Thousand – Tuesday Treadmill

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) destroys inorganic growth value. The purpose of business management is not to cozy up to the competition. The ‘take no prisoners’ battlefield culture must celebrate HHI scores over 1800, regardless of regulator concerns. We are here to make money from stocks, rather than to try and influence the Washington administration. So let us work on increasing market concentration in legal ways. Nothing stops the companies in which you are interested from taking market shares away from competitors through organic routes. Service can be the missile against which HHI regulators have no shields. Competitors are welcome to…

Dow Jones: On the Edge

The Dow Jones has been swimming in shark-infested waters for the past week, and today may have been the day the sharks finally grabbed ahold. The chart has been forming a bearish pattern, which was highlighted in our previous blog article, http://blog.qualitystocks.net/?p=11697.
