Reprographers, I’d like to bring to your attention a blog-site I “discovered” this morning, as a result of a new “follower” who signed up to follow Reprographics 101.

Millions of jobs are at stake. I’d like to respectfully ask that you read this entire long-winded…

Well, that’s an abbreviation of the statement attributable to Ricoh’s President & CEO. I think he meant to say that “we’ve gotten fat, and we’re going to trim some of our fat.” Ricoh has announced intentions to slash 10,000 jobs!

Joel’s comments: On Tuesday, I read an article on Reuters.com about the “new homes” situation in the U.S. I had previously posted an article that indicated that the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) “Builders’ Sentiment Index” was still, at a reading of 16, way down in the toilet. Despite the glum outlook that Home…

ARC files Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC to “register” its debt. I’m going to make just a few comments about ARC’s “exchange offer”, but please note that, in order to get all the facts straight, you must rely only on the information contained in the registration statement / prospectus (the S-4 filing with…
