A Fresh Start

Right, after a weekend's recharge, how is the world? In Singapore, some big names in F & B (food and beverage) continue to shock. Angelo Sanelli, one of the best known names in pasta, has left his flagship Michelangelo's group. On a completely different market, Sungei Road, affectionately known as "thieves' bazaar" in the '70s, was reported to have slashed prices by 20%. Imagine a thief offering to steal less of your stuff?
Luxury stores have been known to offer discounts , reports the Sunday Times 22 Feb 2009.
Know what I think? All the talk about "bottoming out" is just denial. There's more bottoming to be done. A fresh start would be to stop all this denial and actually add a 20% discount to how low each company's net value is.
There's a fresh start.
At least, we can start looking forward to positive news from there on. If any world leader is reading this post (fat/slim chance), let him/her take note. When you are unprepared, that's the first thing your audience notices.

  1. By the way, thieves not stealing less of your stuff, just charging less for their loot. This means they now have to steal more to earn the same.
