I decided to start “Reprographics 101”, in part, because I felt the industry lacked a central, unbiased ‘site’ on the Internet that reprographers could visit, on a routine basis, to find out “what’s up, what’s going on”, in and around the reprographics industry. Since reprographers don’t live in a vacuum – what’s going on in…

I read this article (see below in blue type) in the Boston Globe (June 20, 2011). It’s simply another article that managed – excuse my French – to piss me off. Let’s continue to favor banks and get them healthier, while many small and medium size businesses – and savers – are left to continue…

(You can find previous posts that mentioned Stadium Capital Management by using the search box-window on this blog-site.) Apparently, Stadium Capital Management has made other big bets that the…

Correction: Evidently, I was wrong about the closing price of ARC’s stock. In the post below, you’ll see that I’ve used $7.21 per share as the closing price on June 17, 2011.

Recently, I did a post on this blog-site about “exit strategy”, basically posing this question to reprographers, “do you have one …. or have you not yet gotten around to figuring out what your exit strategy is going be?” I remarked the other day, to a new young friend who is “kinda” involved in the…

Over the past three or four weeks, I’ve received the same e-mail –from different people – about “how to fix congress”, or, as the e-mail puts it, the call for a Congressional Reform Act. Perhaps you, too, have received this same e-mail. Here’s how that e-mail goes. (While I agree with all that’s said, I…
