[quote=Fox Rage]@Canoas : A functional company is a company that maximize his profits. If a business man buy that X functional company, he will try to get as much money as possible out of it. If he just buy it and resell it as soon as possible, it's probably because that X company that seems so fonctional, isn't fonctional at all. That X company's action might be dropping like crazy. . And keeping a company who's action drops like crazy isn't business. It's being stupid. Businessman aren't stupid. They are smart. Smarter than the others, wich is the reason of their success. Let's take your exemple. [quote]Imagine a working hypothetical company. It profits 100 gold coins a day and has 100k gold coins stored for pensions. You have the money to buy 51% of this company's stocks. 1. Do nothing. 2. Buy the company and eventually get what your money back with the profits. 3. Buy the company, sell the company to someone else.[/quote] #1 isn,t an option. Why bother buying a company to do nothing with it afterward? #2 and #3 are left. Both are situational. You're company's name is Y. Situation A : Y is an extremely successful business. It's profit raise each year by a huge percentage. If the trends continues, this business has a great future. Any smart businessman would pick #2. Invest in Y and then get a lot more money than the initial price he paid for. Situation B : Y is an average business. It's profit don't raise each years, but it doesn't fall either. If the trend continues, Y will keep it's statu quo. Since it's profit don't increase or fall, a single mistake could be deadly to the business, throwing it into the abyss of debt. Most business man would simply chose #3 in this situation, since investing money into Y would be way too risky. Situation C : Y is a bad business. It's profit keep dropping each year, slowly. If the trends continues, in 5 years top, the company will bankrupt. If, somehow, a businessman buys Y, he will try to sell it as soon as possible, since the company is doomed anyway. He'll try to get as much money out of it as possible. That business man would surely pick #3 These are just 3 very simple situation. We're not even talking about dept, long term profit possibility, job cutting to save the company, etc. etc. A damn lot of stuff have to be taken into account. Unlike what you may think Canoas, businessman are all but stupid. Did you look into every companies, that Romney bought, financial data? I'm pretty sure you didn't, wich mean you have absolutely no clue what kind of problems those companies had. Were they near bankrupt? Did they have any long-term profit possibility? Who knows? Only Romney did, and his action spokes for themselves.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=Fox Rage] You're company's name is Y. [/quote] You're Company's ohhgod.. Agree with the rest though.[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]hahahah I didn't want to use X again, so I wen't for Y[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=Fox Rage] hahahah I didn't want to use X again, so I wen't for Y [/quote] omfg.. are you serious? Also, you completely missed the point regarding the scenario I purposed. You can either destroy the company to make money quickly or you can improve it/keep it for higher but slower profit. If you want to make money fast then the best way would be buying and destroying companies one after another. I never said businessman were stupid, I said some of them would be better off dead. And if you want to know more about what romney did then do your own research. It's rather idiotic for you to want to get the information from me instead of going directly to the source.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk][quote=Fox Rage] hahahah I didn't want to use X again, so I wen't for Y [/quote] doesn't even know what he did wrong LOL :P[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=Nighthawk] doesn't even know what he did wrong LOL :P [/quote] [quote=Fox Rage] so I wen't for Y [/quote] No, he doesn't.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]He ra'n for it and wen't for it and cam'e out a win'ner[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I think I'll have to agree with Canoas on this one. There's a lot of shit going on in businesses. And unlike what Polse seems to think; it's NOT okay. Being a businessman doesn't excuse you from the shit you do.[/quote]
