antique -- you, and others, that blabber on about the "greedy shareholder" are a joke.why itch about situations in life over which you have no control? intelligent people take advantage of situations in life, through investment.all here want as much money as possible through employment. it's human nature. does this make everybody greedy?
this week,bk and th shares are up nearly 20%!!!all the people I hang around with take advantage of these situations, and laugh all the way to the bank. we also laugh at people like you who don't have enough sense to make money on these things in life.instead, you choose to itch.
same as with the many threads in which people itch incessantly about the price of gas.my friends and I smile when we buy fuel -- not itch.
at any rate, you threads/posts continue to make us laugh, and for that, once again, we thank you. have a good day, and smile next time you buy fuel.
Dunkin Donuts used to have good quality donuts freshly made at each shop, and good coffee, before they became a shareholder penny generating machine.
Now the donuts suck, the coffee is [censored], they offer too many choices all of which are lacking in quality and the prices are outrageously high. Eventually the sheep will get tired of the [censored] and move on, recently there was even talk that DD expanded so rapidly that their "shares" are faltering. Also because the customer is not liking the [censored] product.LOL
I also remember recently when the CEO for IHOP was on CNBC and when asked which dishes she liked best could NOT think of ONE item! Seriously, she looked like a deer in the headlights as she blankly stated into the camera, the silence was deafening!. Why? Because she doesn't even eat there, probably because the food sucks, since they have become another market darling.
Thing is it ISN'T always about the money. There are other angles to human nature as well, obviously I and many others do not agree with you.
But I don't expect people like you to have any understanding of that aspect of life, you've been trained to ignore other things which makes for a one dimensional life, which also decreases the quality of life for others that do not agree with your single minded outlook.
That kind of single mindedness takes a product that was made with pride (even if it is a donut, or coffee) and just turns it into another commodity that is a tool for greed.
I'm going to keep right on "itching" because after all
it takes all kinds to make the world go round, doesn't it?
