A wise guy (not to be confused with a wiseguy) said to me in 1984….. “success is a matter of making more right decisions than wrong decisions, provided that your good decisions (successes) outweigh your wrong decisions (failures.)” I unequivocally agree with what that guy said. And, I feel very lucky that, during the two…

There have been 59 “unique visitors” to my blog-site, so far. And, so far, my blog-site has been visited by people from 3 countries in Europe, and, in the U.S. by visitors from quite a number of different states, spanning from Maine to Florida, from Illinois to Texas, and from Wash, DC to California. I…

I mentioned in an earlier post that I might, at some point, expand on what these companies are all about, and I’m going to get into that now, before I completely forget. I HAVE NOT SPELL-CHECKED OR REVIEWED MY TYPING (After typing all of this, my hands were ready to fall off!) One initial comment:…

Early on, shortly after I began this blog-site, I did a post to provide my “background” information. I’ve just amended that post because I forgot to mention one of my prior jobs in the reprographics industry – my stint as the COO of T-Square (the T-Square based in Miami, which, today, is owned by ARC.)

Please kindly help me out. When I retired from my last reprographics company, I did not take my e-mail contact list with me, nor the tons of business cards I’d accumulated over the prior 10 years. Because of that, I’ve not been able to let many of my friends and acquaintances know that I’ve started…

The reprographics industry, like many industries, is “populated” by large companies, medium size companies, and small companies. The reprographics industry, being a rather small sub-industry of the much larger printing and graphics industry, does not have a lot of large companies, but there are a lot of small companies. In using the terms “large, medium…

As you may be aware, the “other” publicly-traded company in the reprographics industry is Service Point. Service Point is HQ’d in Spain and, while Service Point does have a sizable presence in the U.S. (Service Point US, based in Boston), most of SP’s revenues are generated by operations in the UK and in Continental Europe.…

Well, this post is a yet another “brief” follow-up to previous posts about ARC’s stock price. This afternoon, ARC’s stock price closed at $2.86 per share. Once again, the only appropriate acronym for that is OMG! At $2.86 per share, that price-per-share computes ARC’s “market cap” (total market value) to be around $131 million. A…
